B. do solemnly swear, or affirm, (as the case may be) that I will bear true allegiance to the United States of America, and that I will serve them honestly and faithfully against all their enemies, or opposers, whatsoever, and observe and obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to the rules and articles for the government of the armies of the United States."

S.

Article 13. At every muster the commanding officer of each regiment, troop, or company then present, shall give to the commissary of musters, or other officer who musters the said regiment, troop, or company, certificates signed by himself, signifying how long such officers, as shall not appear at the said muster, have been absent, and the reason of their absence. In like manner, the commanding officer of every troop, or company, shall give certificates, signifying the reasons of the absence of the non-commissioned officers and private soldiers, which reasons, and time of absence, shall be entered in the muster rolls, opposite the name of the respective absent officers and soldiers. The certificates shall, together with the muster rolls, be remitted by the commissary of musters, or other officer mustering, to the department of war as speedily as the distance of the place will admit.

And it shall be the duty of every officer, commanding an army, regiment, company, post or detachment, who is knowing to a challenge being given, or accepted, by any officer, non-commissioned officer, or soldier, under his command, or has reason to believe the same to be the case, immediately to arrest and bring to trial such offenders.
Article 27.

Article 28. Any officer or soldier, who shall upbraid another for refusing a challenge, shall himself be punished as a challenger; and all officers and soldiers are hereby discharged from any disgrace or opinion of disadvantage, which might arise from their having refused to accept of challenges, as they will only have accepted in obedience to the laws, and done their duty as good soldiers, who subject themselves to discipline.

PHILADELPHIA, June 2.
Yesterday the quarantine of this port began, and will continue till 1st October next, in which time all vessels from foreign ports will pass inspection at the Lazaretto; and such as are, or have been sickly, will be detained.
About 9 months ago the coffee plant was introduced from Cuba, and planted at Cape Florida. It has succeeded beyond the most sanguine expectation, and no doubts are entertained that it will become the staple article in East Florida. This information was given by a gentleman, who lately arrived at Charleston from Cape Florida.
Freemen's Journal.
Murders at Paris.—C. A. Lepeyre, a dragoon, has been sentenced to death, for the murder of the widow Desrolines, and her daughter, about 17; he had paid his addresses to the latter, but had been unsuccessful, and in a paroxysm of rage, he killed them both with his sabre.
IBID.
One cold stormy day last February a female stranger made her appearance in the Beach-wood's settlement on the Lackawana. She appeared to be about thirty; tall and delicately formed; but the rose that once bloomed on her cheek was withered by the canker worm of care; and reason no longer swayed his sceptre over her mind. "They drowned my mother, O! how she screams!—there! there! she sinks—help her—help her!" was the burden of her song.—But she would occasionally cast her eyes on the men, and with a wild and fearful look, exclaim, "No! No!—I hate you, you've ruined me—Poor Poll would drown herself but the water's cold." No entreaties could induce her to take shelter from the ravages of the storm. But she flew from house to house, a most melancholy picture of sorrow and woe.—After having been absent a day or two, she returned with an infant naked on her bosom. "Poor thing," she would cry, when the hospitable cottager begged it of her, "poor thing, I know you'll starve it." Nature remained true to her duty, although reason had fled from her heart. A tear, the first she had shed, fell and mingled with the snow on its neck. The soul of the little sufferer was just winging its way to a kinder parent, when the unfortunate maniac entered a cottage where the woman had but the week before buried a new born infant. She kindly begged that the child might at least be put in her arms. The mother consented, and Mrs. Bucklin, (for that is the name of the humane woman) wiped the snow from its neck, wrapped it in warm flannel and gave it the breast. A gleam of wandering reason seemed to shoot across the mind of the distressed mother. She was delighted to see her offspring on the breast of its humane nurse, and expressed no wish to take it again, but soon wandered off, declaring she had drowned her child. She passed the village, and it is not known whence she came or whither she has gone. Mrs. Bucklin still keeps the child, and nurses it as her own. Col. Stanton, of Wayne county, has sent it some clothes and the name of Polly Snow, expressive of the place of its birth. In the name of humanity, I thank them for their kindness. [Luzerne Federalist.]
The unhappy Maniac mentioned in the above article has, since she left Luzerne, been wandering in this country, principally in this township. She raves of her mother and her babes having been drowned, but sometimes says she has left one with a good woman who took it from her when she was going to drown it. We have no doubt she is the woman whose tale is so pathetically told by Mr. Miner. Would it not be worthy of the Legislature of Pennsylvania to make provision for restoring to society those afflicted Beings, whose misfortune has robbed of the proudest attribute of Humanity?
We cannot close this article without noticing the benevolent kindness, the heart-cheering goodness with which Mr. Gaskins and family of this township have upon all occasions treated the unfortunate Polly. "They also shall have their reward."

NEW-YORK, June 2.
Capt. Teubner left Bordeaux the 28th April, and informs that 7 or 8 British sail of the line were cruising off that port.
Natchez papers to the 27th ult. were received yesterday. No mention is made of the Spaniards having taken Fort Adams, nor of any acts of hostility being committed by them. Consequently we must discredit the account given in the letter from St. Louis.
The Tunisian Ambassador left Washington on Thursday se'nnight on his return home. He was accompanied by Mr. Cathcart, who will attend him we understand through the principal towns to Boston, from thence he will embark for Tunis. He took leave of the head departments, and those with whom he had formed an acquaintance, in the most respectful and friendly manner. His suite, we hear did not accompany him, preferring an asylum in this free and happy land.
The awful sentence of death was on Saturday passed upon John Banks for the murder of his wife. Though delivered in that solemn and impressive manner for which the Hon. Judge Tompkins is remarkable, and though it was a powerful appeal to the best feelings of the heart, the prisoner remained unmoved. He exhibited a shocking instance of human depravity; enquired of the court if he could not be hanged the week following; and shouted as in a delirium of joy. The day of execution is fixed for Friday the 11th of July.
Speculators are informed, that the cargo of 1000 sent from Boston to the West-Indies, sold for 4000!— Quere —Is this article contraband? If not, many such cargoes may be got at Iceland, as yet, free of duty!
BOSTON, May 29.
ELECTION.—Yesterday being the constitutional period for convening the General Court of this Commonwealth, for the year ensuing, the gentlemen elected for Senators and Representatives assembled at the State-House in this town. His Excellency the Governor, and the Honorable Council attended, when the oaths were administered agreeably to the Constitution.
The honorable Senate proceeded to the choice of their Clerk; after counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 39, of which John D. Dunbar, Esq. had 20 and was chosen. They then proceeded to the choice of President, when upon counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 38; the Hon. John Bacon, Esq. had 19, the Hon. H. G. Otis 18, and 2 scattering. There was of course no choice. The trial was repeated four times, which produced the same result. A motion was then made in the following words, "that the senior member of the senate be, and he is hereby authorised to discharge the duties of President of the Senate, un-
til a President shall be elected: the Hon. Mr. Maynard rose, and made a motion which was previous in its nature, that the Senate adjourn to 4 o'clock, which was carried.
The house proceeded, as usual, to the choice of a Clerk, when upon counting the votes, it appeared the whole number given was 460, of which Mr. Charles P. Sumner had 251, Nicholas Tillinghast, Esq. 206, scattering 3. Mr. Sumner was then sworn into office.
They then proceeded to the choice of Speaker, when upon counting and sorting the votes, it appeared the whole number was 463, of which Perez Morton, Esq. had 237, Timothy Bigelow, Esq. had 204, scattering 2.
JUNE 2.
The Federal Squadron and Republican Fleet!
On Wednesday last, agreeable to general orders from the high court of admiralty, the Legislative Fleet entered Boston harbor, to be organized for their respective destinations and operations the ensuing expedition. The federal squadron moved in a consolidated line—and by hoisting little white flags, designated their names, it was easily determined in how many fathoms of water they chose to drop to anchor. The Squatters also came forward in majestic order, and displayed themselves with such naval propriety, as gave a dignified appearance to every movement of the fleet. The Republican ships were all completely fitted, with every apparatus necessary, either for a siege or blockade.
The engagement between the federal squadron and Republican fleet commenced about 10 o'clock, A. M. They were brought to action by the Clerk cutters, which were fitted out by the respective parties. They were both handsomely rigged, and passed through the whole line with every sail standing—while a broadside was discharged upon them from every ship in the harbor. The federal cutter was completely disabled, by having her masts and rigging shot away; while her Republican antagonist failed through the enemy's line without any injury, and about 11 o'clock displayed her pennant in Legislative harbor, to the high gratification of the numerous spectators along there.
After this skirmish had subsided, two first rate ships were dispatched from each side (the Dorchester and Groton) to bring on a more decisive engagement.—Expectation was now on tiptoe. The fire was renewed from each ship with redoubled energy. The Groton missed stays in endeavoring to come about on a north west tack, and thereby lost her helm, by a sudden surge from the south shore. The Dorchester carried sail through the whole engagement, and having her guns highly elevated, was able to fight them to the greatest advantage. Fifty-one shot were discovered in the Groton, and though all her pumps were employed to relieve her, yet she sunk at the west entrance of the harbor, in about four fathoms water. Her topmasts are now perceived near the boom lately thrown across the harbor, and sometimes by an uncommon swell we may expect her hull will appear above the surface.
On the close of this engagement, we found that the whole federal fleet had fallen off, and that the signals of distress were hoisted on board of every ship, gun boat, and lugger. The fire ship, in particular, appeared in a blaze; and there was danger of an explosion, from the inflammability of her own combustibles. The Hanover pointed a few guns through her port holes, but being skew in their contrivance, it was thought hazardous to suffer her to discharge them. She laid too, and endeavored to take an observation, but her quadrant not being rightly adjusted, no dependence could be placed on her reckoning. It is expected she will in future be used for a bomb ketch, being well calculated for carrying a mortar, and other brass ordnance.
After this general engagement between the federal squadron and Republican fleet, the fire on both sides ceased, and the ships kept under easy sail, and continued crossing and intersecting each other without any material injury. A total cessation of hostilities took place in the inward harbor, but the senatorial fleet riding in the offing, were in constant skirmishing the whole day. Boats of observation were constantly plying to know the state of the controversy, and signals of distress were displayed on board the South Boston, which had dragged her anchors, and was obliged to take shelter under the lee of a Gore of land, but was annoyed from a Hill, on which was erected a heavy battery. The Republican ships kept a steady helm, having a direct course to sea, and being guided with a sure hand mark from a prominent Beacon, which had been erected on the coast at an early period of our revolution. This Beacon, during one expedition, was the only solitary point of compass to which any of the fleet could keep their course; and yet, amid adverse winds and tremendous gales, they were able to weather the cape, and finally entered Port Republican free of any damage, to the great mortification of their opponents. The Squatters were alert during the whole engagement, and gave strong evidence of their knowledge of naval tactics, every shot was well directed, and they continued at their post till general orders were issued for every man (not immediately on duty) to repair to his hammock, which was about 30 minutes after nine in the evening. The fleet however kept nearly within sight of each other, and from the lights in their binnacles, we could observe a considerable motion in some of the ships, especially in the round house of the South Boston, which dropped anchor within gun shot of the place of action.

POETRY.
FOR THE RHODE-ISLAND REPUBLICAN.
THE SUMMER EVENING.
THE sun beneath the western hills His upper edge now dips— His last departing ray, with gold King Phillips' feathers tips.
Full in the East the rising moon, Displays his smutty face; And swift, (as Greenland Poets sing,) Renews the fruitless chase.
The southern breeze has died away, The poplar leaves are still, And half unground remains the grist, In Stephen Gladding's mill.
The fisherman his kelleck weighs— He briskly plies the oar; And as he trouts, the merry catch, Fast gains upon the shore.
The sea is calm, and not a wave Rolls o'er its surface fair; And half to Prudence one may hear Old Uncle Springer swear.
Now onion boys with shoulder'd hoes, "Come trooping into town;" And rumpets made of onion tops, Proclaim their labor done.
Now round the crib, with necks upstretch'd, Thick swarms the gabbling train; While Goody on the fly-stone sits, "And lib'ral throws the grain."
With dimpled cheek and bosom fair, Bedeck'd with many a posy, Now forth in smiling bands, The lassies plump and rosy.
Hail Bristol! happiest Village hail! What rich produce is thine— Geese, Girls, and Onions thou canst boast— Oh Triad most divine.
Now to the "with footsteps light," The friends of order hie:— Forth come the cards—and down they sit, To game and tope and lie.
And fee, high towering o'er the rest, Where sits the Mighty ——— In shape and gesture eminent, Like the old imp internal.
At sight of thee, Oh mighty chief, With awe struck fill my muse is; And to dictate a single line, (But in thy praise) refuses.
Then hail Oh chief, great ——— hail! In all thou dost great— Great in the song, great in the dance, Most mighty in debate:
Great, both in billiards and in loo, In blackguardism great; Yet great 's thou art in all besides, Thine 't greater skill in fight.
As you in courage and renown, Are to old 'Lion' as; E'en so (invert) in beauty—is Old widow Goin to Venus.
*Twixt left & heres and yourself, This mighty difference is— They fight for conquest and for fame— But you—"to keep the peace."
A fruitful bard, to fame unknown, Now dares to sing thy praise;— Then mighty chief, great ——— deign To accept his humble lays.
BRISTOL. T***.
*Alluding to Phillips' statue on Mount-Hope. †According to the Greenland Astronomy, the Moon was once a young man, and the Sun a young woman. Mr. Moon having caught Miss Sun in the dark, saw fit to take some improper liberties with her; the wench to find out her paramour, smutted her hands, and on a repetition of his former conduct, rubbed them on his white coat, (from which circumstance they account for the Luno spots.) Mr. G. however, still persisting in the chase, the mounted in the air, and he after her—where he still continues to pursue, without being able to overtake her.
‡Satan above the rest, In shape and gesture proudly eminent, Stood like a tower.—[MILTON.]
