The French Journalists pretend to be very well informed uto what is passing in the Cabinet of Madrid. They all agree that negotiations. are on foot respecting the new American States, but they differ widely with regard to the conditions required by Spain. It is said that the Mexican Government has offered to give as much as 12 millions sterling for the recognition of its independence, besides which, it has proposed to burden itself with half the debt of the mother country, and to admit Spanish vessels and merchandise, on payment of duties of one-half the amount charged upon those of other nations. We do rot . believe one word of this statement. By an article in the Treaties of Alaimo between the new Republics, it is exprewly stipulated that they shall not pay one dollar to Spain for die recognition of their independence, or by way of indeirn'ty, or in any shape whatever. Their position is essential:) , diTerent from that of the revolted regroes of Hayti, and they will not uselessly sully their Lorour, and impoverish their treasuries, in order to ad r•inister relief to the oppressor who can no longer do them harm. The news from Greece in the Paris Papers of Monday in confused. As far as it appears worthy of credit, it agrees w:•11 the information we published two days ago. A part of the wcw E7ptian expedition, it is stated, has sailed from Alexandria. We trust the Greeks may meet with it at sea. The insurrection in Candia has become general. Should the Ryd.iots arrive i t t'mc to drede the contest, the in dependence of this large and important island will be established. In that ea .c, Greece has nothing to dread from Egypt or elsewhere. The Austrians continue to complain bitterly of the " piracies" of the Greek cruisers. After reading the intercepted correspondence between the Te.rkish Commanders and the Austrian Consul at ?.ante, nobody can doubt the hollowness of the neutrality pro fessed by the latter power. We might safely undertake to aflrm, that almost every vessel sailing under the Austrian fist in the Levant is, in fact, engaged in the service of the Mahon: cans. Yet, because they are, therefore, treated as bel!isevents, they cry out against the punishment justly in t c:ed upon them. The King's henlth is perfectly the Royal Family art at the Escurial. It was on the evening of '2sth of September that the brilliant ea.! petition railed from Ferrol, which is to reinforce the garrisons o Porto Rico and (he Havannah. It is ender the orders or Alsjor- Osneral Don Joseph Miranda y Cabnoe, second in command in the Shied of Cuba: it conrists of the following corps—the 3.1 light regiment of Catalonia, the :hi ditto of pallets, • brigade of artillery, acd three frigates, the Lealtad, and Perla. This expedition, which -is the third sent to the same places since the re-establishment of the legitimate government, is calmest:el of chosen troops, remarkable for their excellent discipline. They embarked in the highest spirits amidst reiterated cries of long live the gine. The light-house, in which the light is successively shown and concealed for equal intervals, ins been tried with complete suzcces in the port of Anzio. Another has been placed on the Clementine Tower, in order to point out to mariners the mouth of the channel of Friwkitio. Three rellectms enlighten the Se:tor comprised be. twigs Cape Anzio and Cape Liaarta. The occultation aml the bright light may be jibed by the naked eye from Palo, that ti :o say, at a distance of 14 Romatrtniln. His Majesty set out yesterday morning at six o'erek, to inspect the 'Ow. of Caserta and Ft. Leucio. He gave Caller* for tome repasra and improvemer la, and returned in the evenirg to the ca. p;tai. Baron Roths;! arrived here from Paris the day before yu terday. LCORORN, OCT 12. We have r.ews from Alexandria to the sth Sept. ; a pert or the new espchition had already set sail ; the remainder wet to sail on the Gh. The attempt made by .the Greeks to burn the shipping in the port of Alexandria had caused the Pacha 1 hasten the expedition with rich ardour that it has been able to tail a month mina than it wouLl otherwise have dote.

The accounnt from the ,ilorea are rather contradictory. It seems certain, however, that Ibrahim Paella is in fall retreat to the coast, and that he has desired, in the most praising tern's, that reinforcements be cent hint without delay. The Orieatal Spec:a:or, which, before the opening of the cam. !reign, had represented Ibrahim Pacha as a General who endea voured to subdue the Itioteotey by his niildness and humanity. allows now, in its number of the 14th of September, that Ibrahim has been induced by his policy to destroy all the towns and villages in the interior of the peninsula. In Candies the insurrection is nearly general, which the Hydriota have sent thither proves that no farther fears are entertained for the Mores. and the expedition (From the Coverlet frazeais. TIIESTE, OCT. 11. Letters from Hydra of the 13th of September, though they give a satisfactory lICTOIIm of the affairs of Greece, say. " w e' l l . ' that the troops of Ibrahim Perlis were still in possession of Tripehrsa but the Greeks, they say, are active in tutting off the cornmunica tlo7ll between that place and the interior, to starve the garrison. T4es the news of the entire evacuation of the interior of the Morel by the Egyptian Worms seems not to he confirmed. tat o Observer of Trieste publishes the following article :- -M We have st length some private information of the fate of the Alibis' brigantine, the Prince of Schwartrenbaargh, Capt. Barbs of which no news had been heard since it sailed in 1829 from Odessa, bound for Nice. A pirate, condemned to death at Malta some time ago, confessed that he had captured that vessel. and murdered the Captain and the whole crew."

Tranasctions in Consols were on a limited scale this morning; but the appearance of the Market greatly im proved towards the latter part of the day. Confidence seemed much restored, and ithe gloomy forebodirgs arising from a recent failure have nearly passed away. Money was so plentiful on the Stock Exchange that ,it could scarcely be lent at above two per cent. Consols opened for the November Account at 8711, and closed at I. Greek Bonds drooped to 291 9, and Spanish ditto to 171, With these exceptions there was no alteration in the Foreign Market since yesterday, and the business was very inconsiderable. A few bargains were done in Anglo Mexican Shares at 67i GO 674 39 ; in Bolivar Shares at 201 20 194: in Castello Shares at 41, and in those of the United Mexican Company at 11 The Colonial Market was in a depressed state as far as regarded Sugar and Coffee; but the inquiries for Rum con tinued to be octcrisive. The disastrous consequences of excessive speculation are beginning to shoo themselves in the country. At Bir mingham some defalcations, of no inconsiderable amount, were announced by this morning's post, and it is generally apprehended that the evil will be diffused over a very wide circle in the North. The Franklin, an American vessel, has arrived off Do ver, from China ; but she brings no news. It is stated from a mannsoript Journal, which the late King of Bavaria kept of private expenses, that a sum of 80,000 florins (about 800,000 francs) was secretly given to the poor in the month of September, and 14,000 florins from the lit October to the time of his death. His per sonal expenses during this time were only 400 florins, lost at play.—Quolidienne. It was reported in Paris on Saturday last that a revolt bad taken place in a regiment stationed at Barcelona. A letter from Madrid, dated the 10th inst. and written by a person who had the means of obtaining accurate in formation, alludes to the affairs of South America in a way that would lead us to expect that some measure respecting it is about to be adopted by the Spanish Government. The writer abstains from any explicit statement, but glances at the probability oT • suspension of hostilities between the Mother Country - and her former Colonies, to whom a tem porary treaty of commerce may be propos , d,.deferring, for the present, a final recognition. It is hinted- that the in luenee of this country and of France is employed to ac complish, if possible, a satisfactory adjustment of this question; but we can hardly expect that any thing short of an entire and complete act of recognition would be lis ttned to by the South American States. The point on which the United States arc desirous of flxisg for an establishment in the Mediterranean, is said to be the island of Milo—the ancient Melos—situated about 60 miles to the northward of Candia. The harbour is one of the finest and largest in the Mediterranean ; the en trance is narrow, but within, it expands to a noble bay, capable of containing the whole British navy. There is no truth in the statement published by the 7'imes, that Sir George Cockburn has been appointed Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Colombia. General Bourke has been appointed Lieutenant-Governor at the Cape of Good Hope. The residence of the Lieu tenant Governor is to be Graham's Town, in the heart of the English settlements. General Bourke will sail by the Rainbow frigate, if another vessel engaged for his convey ance shall not be ready by the middle of next month. . . We understand that it is the intention of the mercantile Interests of this town, in conjunction with several of the most consi,lerable landed proprietors of the eouni y, to esta blish a Joint-stock Banking Company for Connaught, on the principle of the English Provincial Bank.—Goluoy Pa pt 7. The settlement for the Jews oo the banks of the Niagara is not, we find, a solitary instance of collecting the sQattered tribes. rhere is now a Jew, of some eminence in the city, beating up for recruits for the establishment of a similar c ~ v in Florida. WRECK or rte COLUMBUS.—This wreck, which has been so long a time drifting on the ocean, has been driven 1 into Ringabella Bsy, on thie coast. It was descried from the land yesterday, and drifted on shore, we understand, this morning —Cork Southern Reporter nfSetturday. On the arrival of the Lori Biayney steam-packet, late on Saturday night from Dublin, the attention of the tide surveyor being by some means particularly attracted to a large trunk, belonging to a gen!eel-looking deck-passenger, he made sours inquiry as to its contents, and ultimately asked for the key. In the mean time the gentleman had made off, and on examining the trunk it was found to con tain the bodies of a woman and child, the former apparently about 40, and the latter ahout three years old. They were taken to the charnel-house for interment.—Billinge's Liverpool Advertiser. ST. CLEMENT DANZ/I.—The contest at present going on in this pariah for the vacancy in the Medical Dixirt inent will he spedily determined, the three latter days of this week being appointed for the polling. The parishion ers are reso7verl upon exercising, in the most hee and un biassed manner, their right to appoint their own officers, and to make theta staml the test of an annual election. THE BRITISH PRESS. +'.'l. STATE OF GREECE. • Tke t Friend of the Law contains the following parallel of the sittuttion 0T die Peloponnesus in 1822 and 1823 : " In 1822, in the month of June, there were 30,000 Turks in the Peloponnesuti ; 2,000 Greeks stopped their passage at the post of the Windmills at Napoli di Romania. The Turks were masters of the citadels of Corinth, Patras, Modon, Coron, and Napoli di Romania. The Greeka only possessed Navarino and Malvoisie. In September the 30 4 000 Tutks were annihilated, and two months afterwarels Napoli and Corinth were in the power of the Greeks. In 1823, in the month of June, the Greeks possessed Corinth, Napoli, and Malvoivie, so that they have a fort more titan in 1822. There are at present about 10,000 Turks in 'the Morea ; so that the Greeks have 20,000 ene mies less to fight. Cannot they do in July 1823 what they did in July 1822? " At . .. not the Greeks of 1923 the Greeks of 1822 ? Greeks! the eyes of Europe is upon you, and this campaign ought to decide your fate. In July 1822, 30,000 Turks were checked at the Windmills by 2,000 Greeks ; and in June 1825, more than 6,000 disciplined Arab troops were , routed at the same Mills by a handful of brave warriors. ' AUSTRIAN NEUTRALITY. - The Greek Journals contain the following intercepted letters. .One may judge from them of the neutrality maintained by the Austrian agents : " To my dear Friend K. S. S. Vine-Consul of his Majesty die Emperor of Auatrfa, at Zante. "My dear Friend.-1 hasten to inform you that I have received, by the bands of M. M.

The following letter from Chile, which appears in an American Paper, conveys intelligence respecting that coun try which has not reached us through any other channel: [Extract of a letter received at Providence, dated Santiago, Chile,. June 1, 182.5.1 As respects news, all I have to communicate ia, that the Con. grew of this country, which has been in Session for the butt six months, was dissolved on the 17th ult. by the Executive, at the , petition of about two-thirds of the members. They hod made several attempts to come to a resolution among themselves Ito dissolve, but these proved ineffectual, owing to the clamour of the mob collected on the floor of the house and in the adjacent streets, and even of the members of the sovereign body. It may be ' said that they have done nothing of a public nature in the six months during which they hare been sitting. 'file Bill of Rights was left unfinished, atter the passage of some fifteen or twenty of its many articles, so that the ftmdament law of Chile prevents a curious and heterogeneous specimen of political and legal patch work. Fortunately, the liberty de „facto enjoyed by her citizens is as great (that is, political liberty) set could be wished, and not likely to be infringed by the present Director, whose total want of 'min thin and mild sway has rendeved hint deservedly mular. This circumstance renders less frightful the absence of that liberty de jure which the Bill of Rights was calcalated to define and secure. The direct contribution was also left in the inkhorn, after having unite-- gone more discussion than our new Tariff Bill. In the mean time, there IS not a dollar in the national money-box, and the financial depar,. meet is in the utmost disorder ; so much so, that it lion been found impossible to procure a person of adequate talebts and sufficient respectability, who would accept of the heretofore desirable and respectable place of Minister of the Treasury. It has been offered within these few days to several of my friends, who have utterly refused tr, notwithstanding the earnest solicitations of the Director himself, and hacked by many friends, that they would accept, and thisaltbough the salary annexed to it is quite respeeteble. Not. withstanding all these clogs upon her progress, Chile is making, if not rapid, at least visible and gratifying advances, towatds perma nent political and religious liberty, and rig ht government. Chile Is about to adopt the federative system. Each of the three Pro vinces of Coquimbo. Santiago, and Conception, to have its movie. dal legislature, for die exclusive management of the provincial acid municipal a ff airs, with a National Congress to meet at the capital for the discussion of national matters. Coquimbo and Conception hate already organised their assembly, and that of Santiago is to I convene about the 20th of this month. The object of their present meeting is to appoint two Commissioners from each province, with full powers conjointLy to fix the law of election for the National Congress. &c. which Congress wilt determine the nature and con. ditiona of the confederation. The adoption of this system will put an end to the sectional jealousies which have heretofore existed among the provinces, and by giving to each the privilege of manag ing its own affairs, Insure greater regard to local interests.

T-GARDEN THEATRE. Last night a gentleman named Fitzharris made his first, and, we apprehend, last appearance on the boards of this theatre, in the character of Othello. The fiery and noble Moore of Shakspeare is, as our readers know, one of those parts that will not bear to be trifled with. Little people should not creep into it. It were as practicable to set about getting up a mock Vesuvius with squibs and crack ers in an ant-hill, as for any body who has not within him the fit elements of feeling and passion, to attempt to repre sent the workings and explosions of what is neither more nor less than a moral volcano. Mr. Fitzharris bas proved himself a bold man, not a fortunate or successful one. With qualifications, mental and physical, that may fit him fee nineteenth-rate characters, he has attempted a part the Inuit difficult in the whole range of the English drama. This was neither well done in the debutant nor the management, who it is to be supposed must have a discretion in these mat te)* What the latter can mean by getting up, at the cost of considerable care and expense in the new dresses and de corations, a play in which everything, except the principal character, is as it should he, we are at a loss to determine. With the exception already made s the tragedy is s:rongly cast, and " Cesar Vecchio," " Coryat, and " How ell"—the best authorities extant—have been consulted on the subject of costume. Now all this appears to be a wasteful and gratuitous expenditure, without first seeuring an Othello different from, and superior to, that afforded last night in the person of Mr. Fitzharris. Does Mr. Kemble mean, in emulation of the distressed country ma nager, _to give the town Othello, with the part of Othello omitted by particular desire? It was said of Garrick or Kean (which ?) that in the. part of Othello he appeared like Desdemonds little black boy that handed her tea-kettle. Mr. Fitzbarris's person is not open to the same objection. As far as we could judge of it in his yellow night gown, lie put us more in mind of the man who beats the big drum in the Foot Guards—as tall, hut not quite so black. Kean taught half the aspi rant Roscii of the day to speak through their nose—wit ness Mr. Booth. The new Othello resolved to be original— talks down his throat. We dare say this species of ven triloquism is perfectly satisfactory to himself—pity, it is not quite so istelligible to the audience. Mr. -Fitzharris appears to have availed himself of the expedient of De mosthenes, and articulates fOr all the world as if he had a • • of young paving stones in his cheeks. His delivery ,*as alternately in a roar or a whisper ; we arc puzsled to say which was the less disagreeable or the more intelli gible. Of the manlier in which he gave the famous apology we would gladly speak bad we heard it s —but al though listening attentively, we could only now and then pick up a stray syllable which escaped the macadamisation its less fortunate companions appeared to sustain from the teeth of the operator. We suppose the " Mont potent, grave, and reverend Siginnrs," to whom the oration was mere immediately addressed, heard and profited by it : perhaps that was sufficient. However, in this and other parts of the play, we think the orator, like other orators, must have been " inaudib!e in the gallery." The tenants of that part of the house ap peared occasionally dissatisfied at this way of doing things solta twee. Repeated cries of " Speak tip" (in contradis tinction to speaking down into the pit of the stomach), were heard, and finally one of their Godships (a Triton, we suppose), resolved that his -brother celestials should hear something for their money, blew a trumpet ! lii the impaisioned scenes the performer roared " like any night ingale," but he spoke so loud we could not hear him. Pa radoxical as it may appear, this is the simple fact. Rote it happened that the louder the less intelligible, we leave to more scientific persons to determine. But enough-- To carry these observations farther would be only second in folly to the attempt of Mr. Fitzharris. Mr. Cooper played Cassio respectably, particularly the drunken scene ; and, in the absence of Young, Mr. Warde may be considered the best Ingo on the stage. Parts of Roderigo, by Farley, were well enough, but it should have been given so Jones. Mrs. Faucit played Emilia cleverly, and Mrs. Sloman Desclemono tolerably. It should have been before observed, that there wawa good deal of disapprobation occasionally.manifested by the au dience during the speeches of Othello: there was also no want of applause proceeding from those-persons whom one never sees in a theatre except on the first night of a new piece or performer. On the whole, however, the audience were patient and merciful in the extreme ; and their sense of the absurdity of the exhibition was rather marked by cool and silent indifference, than by more active and post tive demonstrations of dissatisfaction. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY, OCT. 25. The weather, during the past week, hat been very tem pestuous. On Tuesday•and iVednesday it rained almost incessantly, accompanied with strong gales of wind. The sloop Jessie, from Scotland, with kelp, was lost in the storm of Tuesday, on tho North Bank, but the crew was fortunately saved ; and on Wednesday the Elizabeth,. Owens, which sailed on Tuesday for Drogheda, was driven on shore near Mockbeggar; the crew was also saved.— Several smaller vessels were driven on shore in the river, but we are happy to state no lives were lost. On Thurs day night the thermometer, which ranged at the beginning of the week at from 56 to 60 deg. suddenly fell to 33 ; and in the morning the range of hills between Lancashire and Yorkshire were covered with snow, generally to the depth of four to five inches. The weather, since Friday, has been more settled; and on Sunday a considerable number of vessels sailed, which have been detained some time by contrary winds.

ON THE CHOICE OF HOOKS FOR CHILDREN, CHILDREN'S FRIEND.—In 6CtiOlt it is 114. cult to avoid giving children false hires of virtue, and still more difficult to keep the different virtues in their due p ro _ portions. This should be attended to with all care in all books for young people ; nor should we sacrifice the weirs , standing to the enthusiasm of eloquence, or the affectation of sensibility. Without the habil of reasoning., th e b est dispositions can give us no solid security for happiness, therefore we should early cultivate the reasoning fe es k e, instead of always appealing to the imagination, g y anti. mental persuasives a child may be successfully governed for a time, hut no power can continue the delwinn l ong. T n h o e we r r ea t so ha n t in n g ev i e n Be r fadc r s e,7 „ i a rr i ': rie d s , tp A( a ;o o m f p ‘ Joseph,"e‘tenceis bes t, ap pear to be of the sentimental kind. Musty gets amongst a rabble of boys in a village to tease a poor man of the name of JOSE rtr, who has the misfortune to be out of his senses. Henry's father, in a sentimental conversation, et . tempts to convince him of the folly and wickedness of his conduct ; it is so managed that the bon's conscience is alarmed, and his understanding has no attire in his peni. tence. He asks pardon of' heaven, but presently he joins the rabble rout again, and exasperates the poor madman, who throws astone at his tormentors, which wounds Henry' s cheek. and nearly cuts off his cur. In this condition he is carried home to his father, who tells him that this is u judgment for his crime. " How comes it," slys the bleed.. M ing boy, " that the stone hit my head alone, when all the rest of my companions are more in fault than I?" "Br• cause," answers his father, " you know better than they (fit that you w! re doing. wrong." 'lids method of reasoni n u n will not make children conscientiou s , b ecause whenverr they escape judgments, they will imagine that they do not merit punishment ; and the stone does not always hit the guilty bead. The father's answer to his son should hare been, " cannot tell why the stone hit your heed, but I am sure that you deserved it more than your companions, because you knew better than they did t h at you were doing wrong. In " The flower that never fades," a weepi ng governess talks to her pupil in such a strain abnut a fault so horrid that she cannot bring herself to name it, that the child becomes dumb, trembles, sighs, and at last " faihr half swooning, uit were, beside a verdant hillock." Thi e " deed without a name proves to be a little childish 'CU nity, which had made the young fatly talk in too decisive a tone of voice at breakfast upon seine historical point, show her writing with an air of triumph in her ens, 'and pat Miss Elizabeth out by keeping bad time on the piano-forte Mademoiselle's eloquence appears too pa. thetic for the occasion, and though it " pierced the heart of the'tendcr Emily," it night not have the same effect on persons of a more phlegmatietemperament. An appeal to the affections of a child should be made °pry on great emergencies. In the dialogue upon this maxim, that "A competence is beq," the reasoning of the father is not a match for that of the son ; by using less eloquence the father might have made out his case much better. The boy sees that may people are richer than his father, and perceiving that their riches procure s great number of conveniences and com forts for them, he asks why his father, who is as good as these opulent people, should not also be as rich. His father tells him that he is rich, that he has a large . garden, and a fine estate ; the boy asks to s ee i t , and h is father takes him to the top of a high hill, and showing him an ex tensive prospect, says to him, " All this is my estate." The boy cross questions his father, and finds out that it is not his estate, but that he may enjoy the plea sure of looking at it, and that he can buy wood when he wants it for firing ; v.nison, without hunting the deer himself ; fish, without fishing ; and butter with out possessing all the cows that. graze in the valley, therefore he calls himself master of the weeds, the deer, the herds, the huntsmen, and the labourers that he beholda. This is poetic philosophy, but it is not suffi ciently accurate for a child ; it would coryburid his ideas of property, and it would be immediately contradicted by his experience. The father's reasoning is perfectly good, and well adapted to his pupil's capacity, when he asks " whe ther he should not require a suerfluous appetite to enjoy superfluous dishes at his meals.' In returning from his walk, the boy sees a mill that is out of repair, a meadow that is flooded, and a quantity of hay spoiled, he observes that the owners of these things must be sadly vexed by such - accidents, and his father congratulates himself upon their not being his property. Here is-a direct contradiction ; for a few minutes before be had asserted that they beloegrd to him. Property is often the cause of much anxiety to its possessor, but the question is, whether the pains or the pleasures of posseserng it predominate; if this question could not be fully discussed, it should not he partially stated. To silence a child in argument is easy, to convince biro is difficult ; sophistry or wit should never be used to confound the understanding. Reason has equal force from the lips of the giant and of the d war f. • .... These" minute criticisms may appear invidious, but it is hoped that they will be considered only as illustrations of general principles; illustrations necessary to our subject. We hare chosen M. Bercprin's work becauterif its universal popularity ; probably all the examples which have been selected are in the recollection of most readers, or at least it is easy to refer to them, because " The Children's Friend" is to be found in every house where there are any cliildren. The principles by which we have examined Berquin may be applied to all books of the same elan. The superior merit of Sandford and M.:rton hat lee; been well known to the public; Madame de Sil lcri's Theatre of Education, and her Talcs of the Castle, Madame de la Fite 's Tales and Conversations, Mrs. Smith's Rural Walks, with many other popuLr books for children, would deserve a separate SM. lysiv, if literary criticism were our object. A critic once, with indefatigable ill -nature, picked out all the faults of a beautiful poem, and presentul them to Apollo. The gori ordertel a bushel of his best Partinvsian wheat to be care fully winnowed, and he presented the critic with the chair. Our wish is to separate the small portion of what is useless from the excellent nutriment contained in the books we have mentioned.—Proelical Education, by MARIA sad R. L. EDO WORT ADDRESS OF MARY QUEEN OF SCOTLAND. ON THE ANNUNCIATION OF HER FATAL SEN• TENCE. Thanks for your news, Illustrious Lords, she cried ; I greet the doom that must my griefs decide : Sad though it be, though sense must shrink from pain, Yet the immortal soul the trial shall sustain. But had the fatal sentence reacia'd my ears In France, In Scotland, with my husband crown% Not age itself could have allayed my fears, And my poor heart had shudder'd at the sound. But now Unmated for twenty tedious years, IYhere nought my listening e.rs can catch around But fretful poise pf danger and alarms, The frequent threat of death, and constant din of arms. Alt ! what have I In dying to bemoan ? What punishment in death can they devise For her who living only lives to groan, And are continual death before her eyes ? Comfort's in death, where 't is in life,unknown ; Who death expects feels more than lie who dies : Though too much valour may our fortune rev, To live in fear of death is many times to die. Where have I e'er rcpos'd in silent night, But death's stern image stalk'd around my bed ? What morning e'er arose on me with light, But on my health snme sad disaster bred ? Dial Fortune ever ail my wax or flight, Or grsnt a refuge for my hapless heal ? Still at my life some fearful phantom aim %I. My draughts with poison drugg'd, my towers ty.tk treachery flamed. And now with fetal certainty I know Is come the hour tbat my mad being ends, Where life must perish with a thigh blow ; Then mark her death whom steadfast faith winds . My cheeks unchaned my inward calm shall show. While free from foes, serene, my generous friends, I meet my death—or rather I should say, Meet my eternal life, nry everlasting day.
