Scotia ! erst in battle proved,
Whose hardy chieftains war-beloved,
With mighty arm from mountain height
Pour’d down the of the fight,
Till Southern bands in terrour fled,
And every foeman hid his bead i
A prouder garland decks thee now,
Than ever graced a warrior's brow !
Love and beauty, sweetly smiling,
Valiant chief, and cloister'd ana
Crown the bard, whose song beguiling
All the praise of verse hath won.
Scotia ! well may mists enshroud
Thy mountains in impervious cloud,
If Genius shine on thee so bright,
And shed on thee his floods of light.
Well may rough rocks thy clime deface,
Since twining round their rugged base,
■ And shooting from their cliffs so high,
Gtpw all the flowers of minstrelsy.
Harp of the North !—Thy strains prolong,
And every note shall echo bear
Till every valley find a tongue,
And every mountain stoop to bear!
Lo ! touched by life-inspiring rhyme,
Awake the chiefs of older time.
Oblivion*! massy bars unfold,
And all is new, that late was old.
The mouldering warrior grasps his glave.
And lances break, and banners wave ;
And modem eyes astonished see
The fairy forms of Ohivalry.
Hail magick, holy .power of song,
To whom all bend the knee s
No gate bath earth or heaven so strong,
But it shall ope to thee !

List, Virgins, list! the song is yours
Of myrtle wreaths and lady bowers,
Of passions soul-bewilderiog trance,
And cheeks that blush, and eyes that glance.
Of bosoms white as trackless anorz,
And hearts that bleed, and hearts that glow ;
Where, like the silk-worm in his shell,
Lurks the young god you love so well.
Be every maid like Ellbn fair,
And every bard like Scott sublime, •
Then every maid shall life immortal share,
And every bazdemtlive

In none of the instances which have been
mentioned do we witness what is now in
tended by conversation. If our definition
of conversation do not suit the critick, It
suit* our present purpose For conversa
tion, then, we require a circle of friends,
who ftre *o associated as to join in an ea
sy and familiar communication of their sen
timents on such subjects a* ere fairly pre
seated to their consideration. May not
jpeh conversation be a source of great
■Mature and profit ? From conversation we
may expect an increasing acquaintance
and friendship with our associates. We
may also expectrrefinement of sentiments
and of social manners. Conversation pro
duces an excitement of our mental powers,
and prepares us tn give and receive instruc
tion. Without conversation we enjoy no
rational society with our fellow-creatures;
ahd we experience no social and permanent
enjoyment; however we may mingle in
the friendly circle and frequent talking
parties.
From the company of associates, with
whom we enjoy the benefits and pleasures
of conversation, we retire with clearer con
victions and deeper impressions of the im
portance of the friendship and acquaint
ance we form, maintain and Increase in
their society. We notice the firm, yet mo
dest retreat from a subject eo which sen-
Words team'd by rote a parrot may rehearse.
But tailing is not always to converse/
Not more distinct from harmony divine,
The constant creaking of a country sign.
Cowrza.
By conversation is now intended a verbal
communication of our views and feelings
on such subjects as are presented to our at
tention, when we associate in friendly cir
cles. We sometimes converse when we
are not in the circle of friends. Some per
sons converse on the subject* which are
presented, rather in a reserved and deceit
ful manner, without shewing the real state
of their minds. Other persons say many
things in the company of their friends, and
shew, very fully and clearly, their real
views and feelings; and yet never seem to
rise so high as conversation. What they
say is merely chitchat. They talk without
any sentiment; for they have in view no
subject and no object of any importance.

s ould be exchanged for disputation. With
pleasure we receive th* deference and ro- •
spect we paid to others, and our associate*
paid to us, that w* might not crowd and
push to gain a tup to spoak. From this
attention and delicacy, our manners are re
fined and our feelings softened. The con
versation of others often shows qs our nwn
deficiencies in sentiment and manner. The
power* of our minds are excited to exam
ine more closely and more largely th* sub
jects of attention; to inquire, to read, to
learn and increase our knowledge. Other*
view the tame subjacts, to which’ we have
attended, in a different attitude, and in dif
ferent connexions and consequences, Lons ‘
those in which these subjects ar* viewed
by us. Their views correct and enlarge
our conceptions of the things which we has
tily and unhappily imagined we had fully*
examined and thoroughly understood- So
by conversing, we gain instruction, whH«
we are not subjected to the solitude of the
study, and the lifeless society of the dead, *
who speak to us by books. Doe* conversa
tion increase our acquaintance and friend
ship with our associates? Does it refine
our sentiments and social manners ? Doe*
it afford us instruction and knowledge, and
excite our mental powers to inquiry and
exertion? Conversation, then, affords the
highest eryoyment that can be derived froin 1 '
the society of our* fellow-creatures in the
present existence. Hence the importance *
of conversation is very evidt ut. Nor is it
surprising that so much Is said in the holy
scriptures on the use and abuse of speech.
Is it surprising that conversation has been ’'■
the theme of one of the greatest and best uf
Poets, in one of his most useful and plea
sant poems ? Wise and good men have
loved and enjoyed conversation. Others*
who have been deprived of it, have been
deprived of the chief sources of human hap
piness. From no other source can the plea--,
sures and benefits of conversation be de
rived. How can we, except in conversa
tion, enjoy the benefits which may be af
forded by the fairest portion of the com
munity, from their observation and expe
rience ? They will not instiuct us as pub
lick teachers in the office of minbtßpw. * ,L«-t
Scarcely with propriety can thev give ex
hortations or declatnatinns in mixed col
lections of men, women and children;
friends and foes, saints and sinti. rs. They
may in some instances declare and publish
their sentiments by writing. But every
man of piety and discernment cannot write
a book. Besides, if eve y woman could
write as well as Hannah More, yet their
writings would not prevent the benefits and
pleasures which might arise from the en
joyment of their conversation. Is it not
then important that women who are often
accused of talking, should converse f This
they may easily do. On the subject of con
versation there can be but one opinion in
the minds of the candid and judicious. But
nothing can be done without the approba
tion, the influence and exertion of the ladies.
Before-they. refuse their approbation, In
, fluence ana Aertion, they are most re
spectfully and affectionately requested to
give Cowper’s excellent Poem on Conver
sation, a thorough and repeated perusal.

FROM THE NEW-TORX HERALD.
NEUTRAL COMMERCE.
Our democratick editors have at length
received their cue, and now come oulbeM
ly on the subject of neutral commerce.—
We have copied the article from the Na
tional Intelligencer on that subject; from
which our readers will perqeive that our
government is not to be satisfied with Great-
Britain, let her do what she will. She may
repeal her Orders in Council, but that will
not soffic*: She may relinquish the right
of blockade as practised by all nation* smeo
the flood, but that will not do: She may
release every American seaman on board
of her fleet, whether they entered volunta
rily or by compulsion, but that is not enough.
She must relinquish the right of governing
her own subjects—she must make her fleet
•useless, and submit to the new Bonaparte
an code of maritime law, or we cannot bo
at peace with her. This is th* sum and
substance of the doctrine. Duane, who
some few <fey« dnee was willing to give
Britain crosit for her prompt declaration*
relative to the Orders of Council, I* now
treading back hie etefte. In hu paper he
declares he cannot find ehpthinp In Mar
