O then ’twas lovely watching
The sparkling of his eyes f ’'
And learn the White mtft’a greeting,
And answer all hie sighs.
I taught my constant white love
To play upon the wave,
To turn the storm to pleasure,
And the curling surge to brave,
How pleasant was our sporting,
Like Dolphins oh the tide i
To drive beneath the billow,
Or, the rolling surf to ride.
To summer grove* I led him,
Where fruit hangs in the sun j
We linger’d by the fountains.
That murmur as they run ;
By the verdant islands sailing,'
Where the crested sea-birds go; .
We hear the dash of the distant spray,
And saw thro* the deeps the sun-beams play,
In the eoral bdw*r* below.
And when my lover, weary,
To our woodland couch would creep,
I kimg the song that pleas’d him.
And crown’d his lids with sleep.
My kindred much would wonder,
The'white man’s love to see i
And Otaheitan maidens
Would often envy me.
Yet when my white love’s forehead.
Would sadden with despair,
I knew not why the cold drops
Should start and quiver there,
1 knew not why in slumber
His heart should tremble so i
Or lock’d in love’s embraces,
How doubt and fear could grow.
Till o’er the bounding billow
The angry chieftains came;
They seis’d my wretched lover,
They mock’dtny.anguish’d claim.
In iron bands they bound"fflm,
1 wish’d hi* fate to share i
They tore him from, my clasping,
And throw me to despair.

To tear my love from me 1 1

AxoVbXr circumstance, the tendency
of which is to prove the insincerity tjktotfr
C ahi het, in the agreement with Mr.' Ers
kine’, lathe appointment of Mr. Adami,
as Minister to Russia. I have tfoeu aston
ished that so little consequence has been
attached to this measure wiitdh, in any
country of 'Europe, Would have exulted
the most curious inquiry, And lift eft fe
rious alnrm. The time lii whk.fi' hwnoml
nation was /hi? made, the knowledge thit
a serious cdaKtioh had been Ju»t then form
ed tn destroy the commercial poster of
Gfeet-Britaln, the illegal and unauthor
ised appointment Af Mr. Short, by bfF, Jef
ferson, at ituch a juncture—-the nearly
unanimous refuse! to sanction that appoint
ment—the tolemn vote 6t the Senate on
the motion of Mr. Lloyd, (one of the most
intelligent merchants in either branch,)
M that any missfon to Russia was fdeitye- t *
dient anti unnecC»»ary :* the conviction
in the mind of every Intelligent man, that
this vote of the Senate was Mrrect, are nil
of them proofs that this measure has apme
object beyond its Jiret appearance. We
have passed thirty years safely and pros
perously Without a Minister to Russian our
trkde to that country inconsiderable in it
self, ww perfectly weil managed without
any CotiAil, and was certainly sufficiently
secure with an able Consul-General.-
Russia is not an Important naval power;
and It Is on the ocean alone thal the thea
tre of American politicks is erected.
When therefore Mr; Jefferson, at a mo
ment of hostility with G rent-Britain, ncilk
nated a Minister to Russia; when he wi
lected for that purpose the man, the most
completely pledged of any citizen in the
United Staten—the man' who nad justified
the Berlin Decrees as merely rfctaliaidty
on the British rnle of Ifsd, all prudent
men stood appalled. Even an obedient
Senate, so complaisant in general to the
Executive, could nt* discern the expedieti- ™
cy of multiplying our foreign relations! A
momentary Oompunctfon seemed to take *
possession of the party, which had for mA
iiy years opposed the extension of our di-
JMotnatkk connexions.
Mr. Jefferson was ditrraced.— The *•
note almost unanimously voted that any *
mission to Russia was inexpedient.—With
out doubt many of them though that to
multiply and to draw closer our connexions
with the allies of France would tend to in
crease the difficulties and impediments to
a good understanding with Grea>Britain. I
An ordinary man, like the writer qf thle
article, would have supposed It an insult,
I if not a breach of privilege, for a Presl
i dent to repeat the same proposition hi
three or four months to the same publick
body which had rejected it—ft Would seem
to be still more extraordinary, that a mb- ;
ment should be selected far this purpose,
when we had just concluded a preliminary
treaty with Great-Britain, (if the lathe had
been tineerely concluded, J and when we
expected Soon to discuss and settle the re
maining disputes with that nation. No
it\an could doubt, that theAendency of such
a measure was to excite the jealousy of
the British Court. M What, ( would a Bri
tish Minister say,) "does America at ttfe
moment of tendering to us the olive branch,
arm the deceitful granger With the tharfi
eat thornt? Is she not content with the
offensive and indecorous language In which
she has clothed her < fliers, but does she At
