Mr Editor,
THE following pieces, written by an American prison
er in Tripoli, have been lately forwarded to me from thence,
by a friend of mine, an officer of the late frigate Philadelphia.
1 herewith subjoin an extrad from the letter accompanying
them, which contains the only account of their author I
have yet received ; and if you deem them worthy a place
in your mifcdleny, you will be pleased to insert them.
Yours, Ac.
Tripoli, Bafhaw's Castle, March 28.
I cannot avoid mentioning a marine, whose extraodin-
Bary merit has attracted the attention and notice of all th^
officers: his name is HAQ —has once been in very good
cjrcumHanc^ ; but misfortunes have brought him low,
and obliged him to enter on board of a man of war, in the
capacity of a private of the marine corps. His Rory he
keeps feeret, He is a poet. Since he has been a prisoner,
he has written several pieces of considerable merit ;-—
among others there is one on HILLIARD, a seaman who
died in prison a few days ago ; another called "The Ame
rican Captive in Tripoli.'' Both of these I fund you ; and
in my opinion, they are well worth reading. G.
From the New York Evening Foft.
A French gentleman, totally unacquainted with our
language, being introduced to a circle of young ladies and
gentlemen in Boston, after the usual compliments had peff
cd, seated himfelf beside a beautiful young lady; and being
deprived of the fatisfadion of conversing, with her (his
countenance however expressed the emotion of his heart)
he seized her by the hand—fbe requested him to be easy,
—which lie mistook for the French word Baisze, (kiss me)
and began kiffiog her to the great mirth of the whole com.
pany.—The consequence was, that the ladies came to an u-
DKnimous determination never to fay, be easy to a French
man.
There, undeceiving, undeceived,the gale
Drinks he of health ; from virtue never (trays;
Nor feels the luH of gain his bosom crate
Once o'er the deep to drive th' adventurous fail.
His flocks he marks through many a bleating fold;
And, e'en tho' scant his portion, glittering courts
Feel not the generous warmth his heart that fires.
Ye ! in vain joys who riot uncontrol'd
Extol your ampler means !—yet what imports
The means of life beyond what life requires ?
(Critical Review.
TRANSLATION.
Happy the man, amid bis native vale,
In his own cot; who spends his peaceful days.
Safe from each mountain-fidrm that round him plays.;
For ne'er can ftorna his rustic roof assail.
*The American Captive in Tripoli, will be pub
lished as soon as we receive a copy.
flfwe mistake not (says the Troy Budget) this

the limits of the jail of this county in the year '9B,

ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF HILLIARD.
HILLIARD, of painful life bereft,
Is now a Have no more;
But here no relative is left,
His exit to deplore.
No parent, no< fond mother, stands
Around his clay-cold bed;
No wife, with tender, trembling hands,
Supports his dying head.
No filler follows, or attends
His melancholy bier ;
Nor from a lovers eye defeends
The foft dißilling tear.
Just received and this day opening at
But foes, and of a barb'rous kind.
Surround him as he dies ;
A horror to his fainting mind,
And to his closing eyes.
What though no monumental stone
feefpeak a guilty name,
By splendid trophies basely wan,
Damn'd to eternal fame ?
Mourn not ; f twas Heaven's all wife behffl,
And metciful decree,
That gave his wearying sorrows rest,
And fee the captive free.
His fellow-pris'ners strove to cheer
His fad departing foul ;
And bade the sympathetic tear
In free profufion roll-
Yet, if an honest heart he wore.
If virtue's path he trod,
He was (so poets sung of yore)
The noblest work of God.

Piscataqua Bridge.
THE Directors of Piscataqua Bridge Propriety
have this day voted an assessment of Ten Dollars
on each and every Proprietor's Share, and directed
the Treasurer to collect the same, within one month
from the date.
The Proprietors are therefore requested to pay
the same to the Treasurer, at his office in Ports
mouth, on or before Wednesday the third day of
^iril next.
The Proprietors are informed, that each year
since the Bridge was built, there has been a pro
gressive increased toll : the amount collected the
last year is more than six fter cent, on the first
cost. But the repairs the last year, with what must
necessarily be expended the ensuing season, for
which large advances have already been made by
the several Directors of the Bridge, and Managers of
the Lottery, amount to more than the toll collect
ed since the last dividend. The proceeds of the
Lottery cannot vet be realised.
