Amongst the many improvements to
which the American States have, within a
few yeara past, attained, none can more ob
viously or more gratefully engage the at
tention, than those which are perceived in
the province of the pi eaa. In whatever re
gards neatness and beauty of impression,
or richness and durability of materials, the
works which have been lately struck from
American types are generally equal, and,
in many instances, superiour to those
cuted in Europe. In point of raiaata.
rectness, it must be allowed,
have heretofore been too ofieh w
but this fault, usually the last
to obstruct the upward path of pwMMte
in any art, is becoming every day less
ceptible ; and there is no question that the
spirited emulation which aow exists will
shortly effect its entire removal. This
prospect must afford peculiar satisfaction
to the amateur of sciertqt. and kindle n
still more generous joy in the bosom of the
patriot, who cannot view, unmoved, the
excellence of his country in an art ao em
phatically the supporter of civilization, the
guardian of liberty, and* the-nurse of glory.
To the literary spirit of Mr. Rousna
n i Krk,* the friends of American advance
ment are indebted for an elegant and ac
curate edition of Oberon, a Poem of the
most enchanting cast, and which in its
German and English editions, has already
received, not only die full breath of popu
' lar favour, but the rich and substantial in
cense of critical applause. To attempt a
review, or to swell a panegyrick of this
beautiful faney piece, would be but to re
peat what has been many titnes repeated.
It appears, in this first American edition,
accompanied by a masterly preface; an
advantage,, which, in its English Foi m, it
has never before possessed. This preface,
of which the object is to exhibit a life of
Wieland, and some critical observations
on the Poem, has found means to combine
the ruggedness of incident, and the solidity
of critical remark, with all the smoothness
of classical arrangement, and all the em
beUishments of fine composition, fl Is, in
ev|ry respect, worthy of the Poem to which
it Mrtcached, and conHtitutes by no means
an unimportant part of the pleasure with
which *hre read the whole work. Rather
than consider it as a threshold on which,
(as the .writer, with the modesty of merit,
suppoeea.) we regret to have wasted a mi
nute, we view it as a magnificent Vista en
riched with copious displays of information,
and enchanting devices of fancy ; in which
we linger with delight, though the temple
is before us; and which we quit with re
luctance, though to explore the recesses of
the sanctuary.
That the writer’s name is not affixed to
this charming piece, can be astribed solely
to his delicacy. But the name itself is of
ten an indication not more sure than the
manner of execution. The world will not
hesitate to pronounce thia piece the pro
duction of a gentleman who is known to bo
diatingulsbM by many badges of Parnav
bib, and who, with peculiar gape, twines
the laurels of Phoebux around tne Caflnce

W, J ■ jet black eyes, and sloe blackjiair;
With cheeks so red, and round arras bate i
And teeth so white, and dimple chin,
And bosom fair and purs within i
And small straw hat ao.looa*ly tied,,
And ruahy basket at her aide,
Quite full with berriea, red and
And heather buds of many a hue i
And steps as lights* arty fairy— *’
I met the little Moorland Mary.
° If you, sweet giri, will go with me,
My little serving maid to be, „
And those soft notes yoU sweetly sung,
Repest them to my nursing young, ?vf
And. leave these lulls so bleak and wild,
To watch and tend my darling child,
To cherish her I fondly love.
And tender, true, and faithful prove,
And o’er lier infant steps be wary;
I’ll treasure you, sweet Moorland Mary.*
“ O lady! listen to my tale,
And let my simple words prevail.
My mother's old, she's old and popr.
And scarce can tottle to the door;
And me she loves, her only joy—
She has no other girl or boy»
Ah I whilst the lives, with her I’ll stay,
But think on you, when far away;
She says the grave will rest tile weary,
And then I’D be jiosr Moorland Mary.”

cited to look abroad throughuature, to rnvd
with an insatiate eye pveV. hqr beauties J
he adapted his images from her presodtaK
tions, and dipt hit pencil Irt Mr Cnfoure.
Instead of merely expressing the inference*
nf Grecian philosnpjprs, or kfodliiig with
the reflected ardour of Grecian tragedians,
he introverted his mental eye, and medi
tated for himself, in himself, the genuine
emotions of nature, the true predeots ef
taste, and living sources of poetry Sad clef
quence.” “He had hitherto seemed to
shrink from the sublimities of nature, fresh
all that was wild, vast, rugged, gloomy, *
desolate t»r terrifich.’ In hte Obertm he ’
exhibits a bolder execution, founded on
A. r,hastened and invigorAfed taste. Hh
ascends to every source qteoetick delight; j
he deepens'the imprelsioW of his style by
the powers of contrast, he wields fearlessly
the weapons of sublimity, rides on the . 4

Lteafens with his thunders.'*

Th b National Intelligencer of the sth
instant contains an article ou our relations
with Great-Britain, and th«* British Minis- ;
ter, which, however much we are accus
tomed to such productions from that quar
ter, we can hardly persuade oursclvel; pro
ceeds from tbe pm of Mr. Smith. It must
be no effusion of the gall of the renegado
Englishman who is announced as the new '
editor of tbe government Gazette. • Ibidet )
a coarse and clumsy pretence <*f attacking *
federal editors, it covers a still more clumsy
attempt to defend the conduct of our gov
ernment, and a renewed incitement to our
citizens to commit those outrages on the
person of a foreign Minister, which, if per- ,
severed in.ewould not only replace us '* iw L
a degraded state of barbarism.” but really fl
make us a bye word amongst civilized na
tions*. We say a renewed incitement, fcr,
by a reference to the National Intelligencer
bf the 15th November last, it will be seen
that whatever there has been of barbarity
and indecorum in the conduct of some of
our citizens towards Mr. Jackson, it can , ;
hardly be said to have originated in them.
It wa* wall remarked, on a late occasion at
Albany, that it would ill become tbe gene- j
fal government to prosecute the miscreant*
who insulted Mr. Jackson, since they did
but little more thkn put in practice tbe pre
cepts that were given them, under the
above-mentioned date, by what they nodoubt
consider as the highest authority In the
Union. Accordingly we hear that these
men are not (e be prosecuted by the Attor
ney of tbe United States, but, (as the
trifling case of Mr. Davchkoff being shot
at with loaded pistols fair no feher offence
than that of celebrating hjK Sovereign’s ®
birth-day,) by the law officer of the state
for the violation of a police reguletiiiA.
Instead of the parallel that is now pro- *
d«ced between tie American and British Q .
Envoys, we conceive that It would have
befai more tn the purpose to have made
one between the two governments. Mr/ i
Pinkney fornaid to have been courteous and I ' 1
forbearing towards the British government. |»J
