How rifled every moment flew ?
Oh no ! howe'er my lot be caff,
In wifdom s path, for folly's fpell,

Of feenes my foul eojoy'd fo well.
I know’ ttae rich (what would*ft thou more 1
Ot all. might heaven in peace impart ?)
I know thee rah it* mental (lore,
And doubly rich in wealth of heart.
Still he a flar in modeft guife,
Content to cheer through (hades of night;
Wlv'e fome, dread, traofient meteors rife
To flafh one awful gleam of light.
Still live, by favoring fate’s decree,
To blefs, inff, ubl the human kind ;
l oud fcience points the task to thee
To nurle the young, abftra&ed mind.
And oh ! what joy, beneath thy hand,
(7 he pride of tafte and genius thine)
To view the meutal power expand,
And at! its lovely tints combine !
How oft, where’er T grop'd my way,
Perplex'd in error's maze fo dark,
Thy kindly voice forbade to ftray,
And cheer'd ambition's flickering (park.
I thank thee. May tl.ine every hour
Which l imes retift'efs children bring,
(Unfeen, unfelt its noxious power)
Shake floods of pieafure from its wing.
Thus travelling down the vale of years,
When thou at 'ength (halt yield thy breath,
Thy urn fhal! Iwim in grateful tears,
Thy memory fliall no: deep in death.

With tears and prayerful heart.

Important Confederations.
The intellignce by the funoy may be
confidered highly interefting, as far
as relates to the funtre deftiny of A*
merica, as well as1™ that of the Eu
ropean world. Such changes in af
fairs of the principal States in Eu
rope have occurred, as entirely to al
ter the fituation of the Globe.
The union of the family of the Bona
partes, with the House of Auftra, is an
event of iuch primary importance
that it cannot be parallelled in the
hiftory of Europe. Ey this event
Kapoleon cements more ftrongly the
bonds of controul, by which he has
hi.herto forced the Continent to obey
his mandates. 1 he great check to
the confummition ot his continental
power is thus rendered void ; and
K fa, prcfUd bv Turley cn one
hand and Avjlria and France on the
other, will become comp.iritively un
important in the fcalc of Nations.
The project of univerfal empire
Teems now to be more than a dream.
France, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Swe
den, Norway, Spain, Poland, Germany,
<z/<y/ Portugal, we fear, will all be in- i
volved in the vortex of one mail's
power —America will then prefent !
three diftinct Empires, the Spanijh,
the Portuguese, and the Anglo-Ameri
can, Empires. An interefting quef
tion forcibly prefents itfelf to the
confideration of every man, “ ll hat
is to refijl the extenfion of this gigantic
power acrcfs the Atlantic f' We an
fwer, the Englifb Navy / It is from
a confederation of fclf-exiftence that
we friould deprecate the downfall of
England in her prefent llruggle.
Dettroy her navy, and our disputes
about the colonial trade, the imprejf
ment of feamen, and the Chejapeake
attack, will probably fubfi e; but what
will then become of our liberty, and
our riches, our fpirit of enterprize,
and enjoyment of peace ? The un
happy Princes of Europe may now,
with Cat iolanus, turn their backs npon
their territories, and exclaim, “ there
is a world clfe~wherc but deftroy
that navy, and their fafety is ideal—
their new world will be as rotten
and unfure under their feet as their
European territories had been.
The evident intereft of the Com
mercial countries will be to com
mence futh a fyflem of friendlhip
towards cadi other, as to prefent the
moft formidable obftaclcs to the fur
ther aggrandifement of Napoleon, and
eftabiilh fuch a fystem of trade, as \
may perpetuate thofe obftacles. It
will at once become evident to Al
exander, that he has been the dupe
of Napoleon *, and his paflions, as well
as the interefts of his empire, will re
quire him to cultivate a community :
of intereft with Great-Britain. All
the Spaniards and Portuguefe, who
can efcape to America, will form fet
tle ments in Brazil and Mexico and
probably unite in the general fyftcm
of commerce. England, confidering
the great and increafing dangers j
which threaten to deftroy her com- j
merce, will be forced, by her intereft, !
to treat with the United States upon
a bafts of mutual fafety, and commer
cial profperity.—By means like thefe,
the Britilh navy can be maintained,
■ and thus an impregnable barrier is
! oppoled to the gigantic hoftility of
( Napoleon in America.
As to any future hopes of contin
! eutal reft ft a nee, they muft be foun
| ded upon vague contingencies and
remote probabilities:—Great-Britain
i and the commercial powers, muft
1 depend upon their own exertions,
for the maintenance of their prosper
ity and happinefs.—Bojhn Gazette.

Ft c li b Cruelty and Barbarity—
From captain 1* olger, of the brig
Young Soldier, who arrived here
laft evening in 25 days from Cadiz,
we learn, that a molt dreadful gale
of wind fet in at that place on the 1
5th of March, and continued 6 days
with unabated fury, during which
; time 39 veilcK moftly American,
were dnven on fhore, on the eaft fide
of Cadiz Bay, in poffeflion of the j
French, and were burnt. Such was I
the cruelty and inhuman barbarity of j
1 the French foldiery, that no former
! than a {hip came on fhore, and while
the crew were in the greatefl diftrefs,
\ they would wade out into the water
! up to their middle and fet fire to her,
j leaving the c.ew to get on fliore as \
they could, or perifti in the flames. |
Such as were fo fortunate as to ef- j
cape death and reach the fliore were
immediately thrown into a loathfome
French prifon, without friends,with
out cloathing and without food. !
> Several of the vdfels were fired on
j fiom the fhore and many cf their
! crews killed and wounded.—No cal
j eolation could be made of the num
ber of lives loft. It is impollibte to
fpeakot the conduct of thefe infer
nal lccundrels as it defences.
\ i
The following are the names of the
veflels that were wrecked, burnt, &c.
furniQied by captain Folger:—
Ship Thomas Jeffcrfon, Denf
more, N. York, burnt, with about
10,000 pieces nankeens and fome
provifions.
Ship Commerce, Colburn, Hol
lowel, burnt, wirh a part of her out

Ship Apollo, Huggins, Philadel

Ship Franklin, Queensbury, New
York, burnt, in ballalt.
Ship Ariadne, Humphreys, Ports
mouth, N. H. got off with but little
damage
Brig Smilax, Johnfon, Philadel
phia, burnt with all her outward car
go on board.
Brig Commerce, Brown, Rich
mond, burnt, part of her outward
cargo on board.
Brig Sampfon, Mafon, Vermont,
burnt, with part of her outward car
go on board.
Barcjne Pompey, Sivers, Salem,
burnt, in bafaft.
With a large number of Engiilh,
Spanifh, and Portugue vefllls to the
number of 39 fail, amonglt which
were, one Sp.miih fhip of 112, 3 do
of 74, and one Portugues do of 74

A boat from one of the Britifh
Blips of war lying in Cadiz bay, with
at lieutenant and 18 men, put off to
the relief of one of the American vef

boat’s company periBied.
C0MMUNICA1 IOX.
Legislature of Massachusetts,
The leaders of the democratic party
are making every exertion to proem e
the election of a majoiity of democrats
in the next legislature. Already they
promise their panizans the rewards of
office and salaries, provided they gel
the government into their hands. The
offices and emoluments of the late use
less and expensive Courts of Sessions
are to be distributed among those who
have aided the election of Mr. Gerry.
The present faithful and able Treasur
er of the Commonwealth is to be dis
placed to make room for another Skin
ner. This is a fine prospect for those
who are seeking for the loaves St Jishcs.
But will the people be benefitted by
these changes ? A democratic legisla
ture will gi\e their voice in favor of the
Jeffersonian policy, which many honest
men, among the democratic party,
acknowledge spread ruin and distress
throughout this State. Do the people
of Maine wish to see the embargo and
annihilation of commerce the order of
the day again ? Then make the Legis
lature democratic ; elect those who
wish for power that they may gratify
their private views. But let those who
cultivate the soil, and those who suffer
fiom the ruin of commerce, recollect
that they must bear the Joss, and en
dure the evils which will inevitably fol
low' from the triumph of democracy,
As the democratic papers ar« urg
ing the tlection of democratic represen
tatives, it is to be hoped the friends to
the prosperity of Massachusetts will at
tend to the following circular,and again
elect a majority of federalists, the
friends and advocates of peace and free
trade.
(CIRCULAR.)
€< Gkntt.emen,—WE have every resort
to apprehend that by means of intrigue and
deception prac’.i ed a tl e last elections, and
tin* influence of delusive reports propagated
from the seat of government, thr Chief Ma
gistrate cf the Commonwealth will be suyJan- j
ted in hit offer.
“ This most unfortunate event, does not*
however, in the least degree diminish <>».;•
confidence in the success of proper exertions j
to effect the choice of a Federal Eensta- I
ture. The Senators elect give ua a majority 1
of one, and a Federal house will be eiu* '
bled to fill the existing vacancy, so as to
secure a decided majority in that braoeh
The returns of votes from the Federal
towns, also demonstrate that it is in ihe
power of our friends to produce the same
preponderance which they had last year in
the house.
“ We suffer much anxiety from tUe un
scaled st *te of our dispute with Great
B bain, and cannot discern the least pros
pect of a sincere accommodation. Against
such an accommodation the efforts of
France will be most earnestly directed
I he latter power, as we are tnf'oi med b\

a.pnberoi uer c^jHure** continues to con

fiscate our property, and so trample with
increasing insolence on the rights of our ci
tizens, and we believe sha will ne\er he
appeased until we sacrifice all our com
merce, contract an albance with her, and
engage in open hostihies with her enemy.
“ Our only hope of escape from this ca
tastrophe depends upon the correctness of
the Legislature of Massachusetts. We need
not advert to the misfortunes which threa
ten our com.non wealth as inducements to
energy and exertion.
“ Y >u have witnessed under the former
triumph of democracy, the spirit of intoler
ance which proscribed all who dissented
from the prevailing creed, ami the spirit of
innovation which assailed jour Judiciary,
and all your most valuable institutions and
principles.
“ By activity and exertion, the repetition
of these disasters will be prevented ; and
not a moment should be lost or omitted, in
the most extensive and thorough organiza
tion of your several towns, and the adop
| lion of all the means requisite to induce ev
ery federal town to elect and SEND
ITS FULL COMPLEMENT OF MEM
BER S. We are with gt eat respect,
