The British Government having wisely deter mined not to interfere in 'the dispute between Spain and her revolted Colonies, the ATTORNEY'. GENERAL has very properly brought in a Bill to the above effect ; in doing which, he acts up strictly to the Law of Nations. The learned GrtoTius, in 'his Treatise on the Rights of War and Peace, puts a question much in conformity to this measure. He says, " A question frequently arises, which is, when two States are engaged in war with each other, to which of them a Power, equally allied to both, ought in preference to give assistance. ; Here, too, we must observe there can be no obligation to support unjust wars. On which account that confederate Power which has justice on its side will have a claim to preference, if engaged in war with another not comprehended in the number of Confederates, or even if engaged with one of the Confederates themselves.—But if two Powers en gage in a war equally unjust on both sides, a third Power, united in confederacy with both, will prudently abstain from interference."!--(CAMP BELL'S GeOTIUS, vol. 2, p. 129. Now supposing the revolted Colonies to have justice On their side, they have no claim, from any pvevions engagement, to our interference in their favour, which the permitting British subjects to engage in their service would imply. Bat in the present case it is not the merit or demerit of either of the. contending parties, but the established principle of the Law of Nations, that is to be con sidered. . For indeed, as the Writer just cited ob serves, "In all transactions with a free people, the engagements entered into with them are of a real nature, because the subject of them is a per manent thing ;—so permanent, that although a Republican be changed into a Regal Government, a Treaty will remain in force; for the political body continues the same, although the head be changed, and the sovereign power, which before was diffused among many, is now centered in one. Yet this rule will admit of an exception, where it is evident that the specific form of Government made an essential part of the Treaty, as when two States makea federal union for the mutual preserva tion of their political systems." 7 -(Thid. p. 161.) So that by the present measure, restraining her subjects fr?m enlisting in the service of Foreign Powers, the British Government confirms her dew termination to become a party neither with Spain nor her Colonies, hht adheres impartially and strictly to the Law of Nations.

FOR THE SUN. LAW ASSOCIATION. MR. EDITOR—An error appeared in your Paper of Monday, respecting this Association, which states Mr. ANDORTON to be its promoter. No, Sir, it is distinctly different from what he has en deavoured to form, and which is now in its ini tiation, under the name of the Metropolitan So ciety of Atrornies ; distinguished from an old one, widen declined to countenance a Parliamen tary inquiry into the spurious practice of those who, cediing themselves Conveyancers, share the profits of the science as pretenders, without the ordinary vestments of legal authority: The Metropilion Society is little more than social.— They tweet not on business, but conviviality.— The Law Association is' of a charitable nature, for the benefit of decayed or distressed Attornies of deserving characters, their widows and children. Mr. MURRAY is Secretary, as is Mr. ANDERT,ON to the Metropolitan, who has nothing to do with it. As you adhere to what is correct, I need not crave your excuse for thus intruding Lyon you what 1 believe to be the TRUTH. 1' OETRY. To WILLIAM WORDSWORTH, Rtq.,, On Me PaMullion of " PETER BELL." BY BERNARD BARTON., pcautiful Poet ! as thou art, - In spite of all that Critics tell, I thank thee, even from My heart, For this thy Tale of " PETER BELL." It is a story worthy one Who thinks, feels, loves—as thou bast motts It is a story wm thy too Of a more simple, primal age, When feeling - i-nat'ral, tender, true, Hallow'd the Poet's humblest page Ere trickery had usurp'd the place Of unsophisticated grace; I quarrel not with those who deem Essential to poetic mood, High sounding phrase, and lofty themes And ready " arts to frieze the blood," Intent to dazzle, or appal ;-- But Nature still is best of all. To be by Taste and Fashion's laws, The favorite of this fickle day ; To win the Drawing-room's applause, To strike ! to startle, and display,—. And giv'e effect;--appears the aim Of most who bear the Poet's name. For this—one idol of the hour, Brilliant and spaaling as the beams Of the glad sun ;—culls every flower, And scatters round—dews, gems, and stream:, until the wearied, aching sight, Is " blasted with excess of light." Another leads his readers on lVith scenery, narrative,. and tales Of legends wild, and battles won, Of craggy rocks, and verdant vales ; Till always on amazement's brink, We find—ive have no time to think. And last—not leasta master mind,? Around whose proud and haughty brow, Had he but chosen, might have twin'd The Muse's brightest, greenest bough, Who, would be his own victor be, Night seize on immortality. • lie, too, forsooth, with morbid vein, Must ding a glorious Faroe away, Instruction and delight disdain, And make us own yet loathe his sway ; From Helicon he might have quaff 'd, Yet turn'd to Ach'ron's deadly draught. 0! shame and glory of age ! With talent's such as scarcely met In Bard before thy magic page, Who can peruse without regret, Or,think with cold, unpitying. mien Of what thou art and might' st have been. Enough of such--.front these I turn, From sparkling wit and amorous lays, From glooms which chill and " words that burn," And gorgeous pomp of feudal days— I turn from such, as things that move Wonder and awe, hut wake not love. To thee, and to thy page despis'd By worldly hearts, I turn with joy, To ponder o'er the lays I priz'd, Whcn once a careless, happy boy; And all that fascinated then, • More understood delights again. Nor is it, Wounswortm, trivial test Of thy well-earn'd poetic fame, That the untutor'd youthful breast Should cherish with delight thy Dame. If feeling be the test of truth, That touchstone is but prov'd in youth. Poetry is no complex art, Which after-life alone can give The power t' appreciate ; in the heart Its purest, holiest, canons live; And Nature's tact is most intense In the heart's earliest innocence. 'Tis then the sun, the sky, the air, The sparkling stream, the leafy wood, The verdant fields, the " mountains bare," Are/di—though little understood We care not, seek not then to provc. Effect, or cause; we feel and love. And in that day of love and feeling. Poetry is a heavenly art, Its genuine principles revealing, In their Own glory to the heart ; Nature's resistless, artless tone Awakes an echo of its own. These truths, for such they are, by THEt, Illustrious Poet, well are seen, And to thy wise simplicity Most sacred have they ever been ; Therefore shalt Tnou, before the Nita& Othciate—in their INAtosr SHRINL ! Then journey on thy way ;—though lowly, And simple, and despied, it be , Yet shall it yield thee visions-1161y, And such as worldlings never see; Majestic, meek, simple, sublime, — And worthy of an earlier time. Continue still to cultivate In thy s,quester'd solitude, Those high conceptions which await The musings of the wise and good ; Conceptions lofty, pure, and bright, Which fill thy soul with heavenly light. Thou need'st not stoop to win applause By petty artifice of style, Or studied wit, that. coldly draws From Fops or Fools a vapid smile;-- And still leo need'st thou stoop to borrow, Affected gloom, or mimic sorrow. But take thee to thy groves and .fields, Thy rocky vales, and " mountains hare," And give us all that Nature yields Of manners, feelings, habits, there. Please and instruct the present age, And live in History's latest.page. • Woodbridge, Suffolk. We readily give place to the foregoing verses, because we acknowledge ourselves to be admirers of Mr. WORDS.. WORTH'S Poems. That some of his subjects are susceptible of ridicule, we admit, but what may not give scope to ridi cule ? lil all the Compositions of this Poet there will be found simplicity, truth, nature, and an original vein of thought, which will entitle him to the praise that Mr. BAR ON bestows on him, in sjute of Pedaniq and Fashion. THE THEATRE. COVET-GATIDEN.-Tile sitccetsrili Tragedy of Evadtie was to!!owed last night at this by a new Melo-Drama, ‘yritlen to the tate ct the day, abounding in terrific &.+H ors, eso,pes, 'eke. &c. entitled Swedish Patriotism. The follow ing is an outline t he pl,,r : ..... " Two brothers, native of Sweden, attach themselves to separate interests—the one identifying himself with his coun try and his King Gustavus, and the other betra)ing ; i I. ) y juicing the Danish King. The brother, who patriotism was pot to be shaken, is pros:7lllrd for his fide lity, aunt aceiden , tally betrayed Ii his own daughter into th e Hods of the Da nish army, whose Commander-in-Chief his more th.xible brother happened now to be ; and while be is led nut to be shot by a subordinate officer, his brother rushes in and suf fers the dictates of nature to interpose fur his pre , ervatioo:— In the mean time accounts arrive •hat Gustavus has advanced in triumplrto the Gates of Stockholm, and the burning of a village is the signal for the revolt of the Swedes, and the overthrow of the Danish arms." Though there is nothing very new in this piece, it is so• framed as to excite as strong au merest as most of the works of the same nature which have preceded! it. There is nothing to give of:Id-use through the whole. It has the support of stone excellent acting in .I ERR?, ABBOTT, EGERTON, and Miss FooTe, who exerted themselves ahly in the serious parts, and LISTON and BLANCH ARD were not less successful in those of a ludicrous kind, by which they relieved the mind trout the td rrific and pathetic scenes. The music, by BISHOP, is animated and characteristic, and GRIEVE and other Artists have supplied some excellent scenery. The piece is asctibed to Mr. ABBOTT, who has displayed dramatic talents on other occasions The whole was well received, and announced for repetition with genera! consent.
