THE LIGHT-HOUSE.
THE scene wasmore beautiful fartomy eye,
Than it day in its pride had array’d it ;
The land-breeze blew mild, and the azure
arch’d sky, *
Look’d pure as the spirit that made it.
The murmur rose soft as I silently gazed
On the shadowy wave’s playful motion,
From the dim distant isle till the Light
House tire blazed
Like a star in the midst of the ocean.
No longer the joy of the sailor-boy’s breast
Was heaid in the wildly bteatk’d num
bers ;
The s«a bird had flown to her wave girded
nest,
The fisherman sunk to his slumbers.
One moment 1 look’d from the hill’s gentle
slope,
(Ail nush’d was the billow’s commotion,)
And thought that the Light-House look'd
lovely as Hope,
That star ot life’s tremulous ocean.
The time is long past and the scene is afar,
Yet, when my head reals on its pillow*
Will memory sometimes rekindle ihe star
That blazed on the breast of the biftow.
In life's closing hour, when the trembling
soul flies,
And death stills the heart's last emotion ;
O then may the seraph of mercy arise*
Like a star on eternity's ocean !

! il J\one but the brave deserve the Fair."
In Virginia, on the 6th ult. a duel
was fought between Mr. Robert Taylor
; and Mr. Wm. Patten, the latter fell on
i the 2d fire. It seems there was more
reason for thisJashionable murder ^ than
usual Both paid their addresses to the
same lady, to obtain her hand it was,
they thought, necessary to put one out
of the way.
«“ SQUALLY”
t violent papers of the de
rty, are constantly bawling
ecal of Mr. Pinckney, our
London The partizans of
France in the U. States, know that the
conduct of Bonaparte, and the French,
has been most outrageous towards this
country. They know the people have
read official documents on this subject,
and will,if not blinded, feel a just resent
! rntnt for the wrongs which have been
! done to the ration. Hence, it is neces
sary lor the unprincipalled of the party,
to endeavour to rouse the passions of
the public against England, and our
minister to the government of that
country. The Editor of the Baltimore
Whig, speaking of this subject, re
marks—
“ The recal of Pinckney so much de
manded by the people, and so justly
earned by tl*U gentleman is not spoken
of in the government paper,the Nation
al Intelligencer. Indeed,if Mr Madison
thinks, that Pinckney exercised u a dig
nified moderation” in his mean, igno
rant and unpardonable diplomatic con
duct ; the people may expostulate in
vain. They had better read the book
of'“ Job” daily and prepare their whole
stock of forbearance.”
From the discordant sentiments, used
in different democratic papers on the
conduct of the Executive of the U.
Slates, it w ould not be strange if they
should soon be at loggerheads among
themselves. It has been known that
harmony is net a ruling genius in the
\ Cabinet. 1 he Smiths and Gallatins
| are far from being friends. It is to be
j hoped the old proverb “ when certain
: characters disagree, honest men obtain
■; their rights,” will soon be verified.
New Glouces i Eft, JULY 7, 1810.
ON the fourth inst. the Federalists of this
! and a number of the adjoining towns met for
I the patriotic purpose of celebrating this
joyful and solemn festival. The day was
ushered in by plattoon firing from a part of
Capt. Campbell's company, who volunteered
for that purpose*
At 11 o’clock, according to previous ar
rangements, a large and respectable proces
sion was formed at capt. Johnsons Hall,
whence it proceeded to the meeting house,
preceded by martial music.
The exercises of the day were opened by
singing an appropriate Psalm, which was
followed by a devout solemn and impressive
prayer by the Rev. Mr. Mostly, after which
the declaration of our Independence was
read by Mr. J ibtz W<mhn<m» and an ora
tion, fraught with taste and science, in
which was most elegantly and pathetically
j depicted the danger of political deception,
ucing equal honor to the head ami heart of!
l *
the speaker, was pronounced by Pelcg Chan- t
dler, jr. Esq. The whole closed by perform- t
ing that charitiing piece of Music, the Ode r
on Scirnce. y
The procession then returned to the Hall, i
where they partook of a suitable dinner pro- <
vided for the occasion by Capt. Johnson. \
Gen. If. C. Allen officiated as president, and
Maj. Jacob Hi lei, and Mr. Enoch Fogg, as
vice-presidents. After the cloth was re
moved, a number of toasts were drank, ac
companied with loud plaudits; fiom which
the following are selected.
The day nue celt brate, the day that gave
birth to our Liberty—“ He that outlives this
day, and sees old age, shall yearly, on the
vigil, feast his neighbor, and sav, to-day is
the fourth of July.”
The Constitution of the U. S.—Our polit
ical bark of safety, may it with a \\ ashing
ton at its helm, safely convoy the American
family over the flood of democracy, and se
curely land them on the shores of dignified
peace and permanent independence.
The Judiciary of the U. S.—The stron
gest pillar in our political fabric, may its
columns ever be ornamented with a Marshal.
The Union of the States—Its enemies can j
only be found among the old and systematic
opposers of our constitution, may it long sur
vive their attempts, and posterity through*
millions of generations participate its bles-1
sings
Commerce and Agriculture—Twin sisters,
may they ever be cherished as the legiti.
mate offspring of our country’s freedom.
Manufmctures—May they receive the in
fluence of a genial sun, but never vegiute
in the vapour of a hot bed.
Massachusetts—Blind and shorn, may
she soon renew her powers, and lean with
the strength of Sampson cn the pillars of I
democracy.
The turncoats of Massachusetts —When
their political garments are cut too straight,
may they be again widened by a GORE.
Political Deceivers and State Empyries—
Mushrooned into existence by a fei menta
tion of the vilest substances, like Absalom,
may they be caught by the hair in the'boughs
of our Oaks, (our Constitution and laves, J and
there remain to be thrust through by our po
litical Joabs, our prison-keepers and hang
men.
, The memory of Washington—-May his ex
amples be a light to our leet, and a lamp to
our paths to aid us through the dark night
of democracy to another bright morning of;
Federalism» ‘
The Ciergy—During our revolu ion, a
cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by ti^bt to
conduct us to the temple of freedom, may
they ever continue, as they have been, the
messengers of peace, and true followers of
the Captain of our salvation.
The fair of Columbia—May their smiles
and virtues stimulate us to maintain our
Liberty and may the sons of Freedom ever
make them smile.
Nothing intervened to disturb the harmo
mony of the day ; but all things were con
ducted with the greatest decorum ; old and
young united on the festive occasion. Grand
sires, Sires and sons together hailed the na
tal day of liberty, and together participated j
the joys of Independence—The smile of
cheerfulness sat on each unclouded brow,
and the horrors of Embargoes and non inter
course, seen at a distance behind, seemed
only to be remembered, as an inducement
to cling the closer to our rights, and more
sedulously guard our Freedom.

T!;e Neva-Yort Evening Post contains a re
port, that the French Ambassador, at the 1
time of Mr. Erskine’s settlement, wrote an
insolent note to Secretary Smith ; that the i
0 ,
latter did not break off all intercourse, but '
had it hinted to Gen. Turreau, that he coulu <
not answer a letter couched in such terms, I
it was too harsh for a gentleman. Upon
which it was withdrawn and another writ- 1
ten.
What has become of “ our lives, our for l
tunes and our sacred honours” resolutions ?
all mute as fish ? No burning of gin upon
Gallows-Hill, no town of county meetings ;
no threats of tar and feathers—the whole i
stuper.uous robbery of Bonaparte, has not t
created so great a sensation, as the pitiful i
affair of captain Simpson at Charleston ; t
% \
t lhe Virginia Argus says, u the
Federal papers are very much vexed
•that the republican prints repfroh.te
the conduci of France ** We kn w
not what Mr. Argos means by r</ „b~
lican papers, the Fedetiu Republican
. papers have indeed reprobated the r<»n
: duct of Fran "c, anti they have no rea
son to be very much vexca at thi^ own
conduct in this respect. As to the
Democratic papeis we have seen none
as yet that reprobate the conduct of
France. Some of them have ventu
. red to complain a little, and some have
expressed a rc; et that they could not
justify such conduct ; but none n.ive
reprobated 'there has however been
reproach enough whenever the busi
ness has been mentioned in the demo
cratic papers ; for where there lias
been one line on the outrages of France,
there has been at least ten cf abuse a
gainst Great Britain as a set off. VV'c
suppose the democratic editors would
excuse themselves by saying that the
conduct of France is bad enough in all
conscience of itself; but the British
have not lately supplied us with such
a variety of materials whereon to found
execrations, we must therefore, in or
der to maintain the balance, curse
England most—France ha’.ing suffi
ciently cursed herself.

All the fenfation, exprefTed by the democrat
ic edi ors, on the feizures of our property and
the imprifonment ot our Tailors in France, a
mounta to an accufation againft the federalifts,
for advifing the removal of the embargo.
Your property would have been lafe, fay they,
if that had been continued* It would hate
been f»fe \prith a witnefs ; for it would have
all perifhed, whereas much ot that on our
hands has been run otTat advantageous pri
ces. It required no emOargo to protect it
from the Englilh, and they alo~« were to he
feared on the ocean That which is loft, is
loft by the attempts of the at’miuiftration to
fereen from the public the full extent of B j
naparte's hofhlity to us, by which the mer
chants have been blindly led to con de in an
enemy, and fend their property directly into
his dominiom.
Look at the documents puMifhed—Every
letter wh'ch Mr* Armftroug has written, has
been garbled and extracted to be laid befo. t*
the public. As an example, take the * wninU
Dications made by Jefferson at the ope* >r>g of
the fecond fefTion of the 10th Cougrel., Nov.
1808. ft here wete many letters from rhsc
miuifter, only oneof which, of twelve lint-,
is given entire, because it wa» merely toen
clofe copiei of his reprefen’auuus to the
French Government.
Even the letters from Madifon to Arm
ftrong, were rarely given at large, wbilft
whole corre-pondence with England, wh;»
was no: taking or likely to take many of our
Oops, was given entire.
After debating from the 22d to the 25th
Nov. in fecret, on the private < •^nmumeabons
of Jefltrfon, the doors were Opened,and it
appeared they had been all that lime urged by
the federalift* to publifh the documents, and
ihat the yeas and nays had been taken (even
tunes.—Ad. Ref.
lut so we go on—there is one comfort left,
hat is, when things get to the worst, any
hange must be for the better 8c if at last
are should chance to get out of the scrape

well exclaim with FallstafT, “ honour cornea

HONORABLE PROPOSALS.
An unlucKy regimental disagree

of considerable ran* in the army, one
of them sent the other a challenge in
the usual form, to which the following
answer waj *cturfted :
“ Sir, I received your message this
morning by major-. I will freely
declare I will not meet you ; I have
some reason to think my character in
the army will outweigh any imputation
on my courage as a soldier ; but I will
confess I dare not be your murderer—in
stead of that attempt, 1 make the fol
lowing proposal : We are both single
men, I will part with my commission,
and attend you to any part of the globe,
where, as a volunteer, our troops may
be likely to meet with the most active
service—we will then fight together in
the service of our country, and not in
defiance of our God—should this rot
meet with your approbation, we will
then meet—you shall fire at me as of
ten as you please, but 1 tvi/l not return
your fire—with either of these alterna~
tives, I pledge my honour to comply,
but must request of you net to propose,
or to expect from me, any apolo
gy, for what I cannot feel myself cul
