POETICAL DEPARTMENT.
THE OTAHEITAN MOURNER.
The following beautiful Poem, is founded on the following circumstance:—A midshipman of the name of Stewart, one of the mutineers of the Bounty, having thus rendered himself obnoxious to the offending laws of his country, took up his abode, on the island of O'TAHEITE, and lived with the daughter of a Chief, who had borne him a beautiful GIRL. The Pandora frigate arrived at the island—this unhappy man was seized and laid in irons. The young woman followed him, with her infant to the ship; the scene which followed was of such a distressing nature, that it almost overpowered the officers who witnessed it; and Stewart himself besought them not to let her visit him again. She was separated from him by force, sent ashore, and in the course of two months literally died of a broken heart. The child was taken under the protection of the Missionaries. The poem is supposed to have been written by the woman, after Stewart was separated from her.
From the Isle of the distant ocean, My white love came to me; I led the weary stranger Beneath the spreading tree.
With white and yellow blossoms I strew'd his pillows there; And watch'd his bosom heaving, So gentle and so fair.
Before I knew his language, Or he could talk in mine, We vow'd to love each other, And never to resign.
O then 'twas lovely watching The sparkling of his eyes; And learn the white man's greeting, And answer all his sighs.
I taught my constant white love To play upon the wave, To turn the storm to pleasure, And the curling surge to brave.
How pleasant was our sporting, Like dolphins on the tide; To drive beneath the billow, Or the rolling surf to ride.
To summer groves I led him, Where fruits hang in the sun; We linger'd by the fountains, That murmur as they run.
By the verdant islands sailing, Where the crested sea-birds go; We heard the dash of the distant spray, And saw thro' the deep the sun-beams play In the coral bow'rs below.
And when my lover weary, To our woodland coach would creep, I sang the song that pleas'd him, And crown'd his lids with sleep.
My kindred much would wonder, The white man's love to see; And Otaheitan maidens Would often envy me.
Yet when my white love's forehead Would sadden with despair, I knew not why the cold drops Should start and quiver there:
I knew not why in slumber His heart should tremble so: Or lock'd in love's embraces, How doubt and fear could grow.
'Till o'er the bounding billow The angry chieftains came: They seized my wretched lover, They mock'd my anguish'd claim.
In iron bands they bound him, I flew his fate to share; They tore him from my clasping, And threw me to despair.
Are white men so relenting, So far to cross the sea: Their chieftain's wrongs revenging, To tear my love from me?
Are Otaheitan bosoms No refuge for the brave? Can exile nor repentance A wretched lover save?
No more the Heiva's dancing, My mournful steps will suit: As when to the torch-light glancing, And beating to the flute.
No more my braided tresses With smiling flowers shall bloom; Nor blossoms rich in beauty Shall send its sweet perfume.
All by the sounding ocean I sit me down and mourn, In hopes his chiefs may pardon him, And speed my love's return.
Can he forget his Peggy, That sooth'd his cares to rest? Can he forget the baby, That smiles upon her breast?
I wish the fearful warning Would bind my woes in sleep! And I were a little bird, to chase My lover o'er the deep!
Or if my wounded spirit In the death canoe would rove, I'd bribe the wind and plying wave, To speed me to my love! Birmingham. P. M. J.
From the New York Evening Post.
FIRE-SIDE LECTURE ON MATRIMONY.
O thou sweet passion whose blest charm connects, In heavens own ties the strong and feebler sex, Shed thy soft empire o'er the willing mind, Exalt, adorn, and purify mankind.
HUMPHREYS.
IT would upon a transient view of the subject, appear to be a very superfluous labor, a work of entire supererogation, to say aught in favor of wedlock, of that blissful union of the "strong and feebler sex," which strews the path of life with its surest flowers; that partnership in joy and sorrow which doubles the first and alleviates the latter. One would imagine that the love of society, the fondness for companions in pain and pleasure, which is implanted in our nature, would be a sufficient inducement to the formation of this tender and sacred connection; but when we look around us we see on all sides, comparatively useless beings, who are passing along though time in cheerless single-ness. It was not thus in the early settlement of our country; but our increase in wealth and its concomitant sufferings, has occasioned this deplorable deviation, from the wise conduct of our fathers. By luxury I mean indulgence in things which do not essentially contribute to the happiness of life. Too many of the young men of the present day, are unwilling to marry until they have accumulated a sufficient stock of the good things of this world, to enable them not only to live agreeably, but elegantly; they are not satisfied with comfort, they must have gentility: this is not very quickly achieved, our desires keep pace with our acquisitions; the higher we descend the mount of affluence; the farther we see into the region of fortuitous gratification: the fairest portion of our day is consumed in making provision for unreal wants, and when we have in this manner, ran more than half our race to the grave, we are little disposed to undertake the affairs of a family. But allowing this anxiety to add house to house and field to field, to be proper and commendable; a wife prudently chosen, instead of being an obstacle to the progress of any, would greatly further their advancement in the way to wealth: Are you a tradesman? A wife will be an additional inducement to diligence in your calling, and the diligent hand maketh rich; you will have fewer temptations to spend your earnings, foolishly, and the time which might otherwise be idly squandered, and which is more valuable than money will be agreeably passed in her society. Are you a farmer? Get married, a wife is cheaper than a housekeeper, her industry will assist you many ways; and your children will soon share and enlighten your labor.
"Caleb arose in the morning while the Heavens were yet glittering with stars, he saddled his ass and took the way to the city. Wealth, said Caleb, as he journeyed is the grand object which all are eagerly pursuing—doubtless, then, it must confer happiness. In the great city, I as well as others may possibly amass treasure; then will I exchange my ass for a camel, this rustic habit for silken garments, and take to myself a wife of the daughters of affluence: then shall pleasure delight the soul of Caleb and his moments fly on the wings of rapture—thus said Caleb, as he drew near the habitations of the venerable Hafaz. Whither my son said Hafaz art thou wandering, and why do I see the clouds of discontent hanging on thy brow. Seekest thou wealth
in the haunts of the multitude? Alas! hast thou reflected how few succeed in the chase of this imaginary good in comparison with the many who eat the bitter bread of disappointment; but should the son of prosperity guide their paths, should thy flocks be numerous as the flocks that whiten the mountains of Corasin, and thy camels of the great kings, would this bring happiness to thy dwelling? Far from it. She presides not at the feast of Luxury, she reposes not in the halls of splendor. When the bloom of this life is over; when the darkness of the grave is hovering around thee, then wilt thou find too late that thou hast gathered the thorns of care for the roses of joy. Return then Caleb, return to the cottage by the mountain and cultivate the fields of thy fathers. Is not Zelida beautiful as the morning; her breath sweet as the odour of new blown roses; and her temper mild as the moonlight playing upon the valleys of Aranda. Take her to thy bosom. Her presence shall stimulate thy industry, and her smiles reward thy labor; her activity & neatness shall render thy abode delightful, and thy heart shall be gladdened at the sight of thy home. When the infirmities of age shall enfeeble thy frame; she shall watch over thy slumbers and prevent thy wishes with the assiduity of unabated affections; her piety and faith will awaken and confine thy own, and the children of your children shall rise up and call you blessed.
"Caleb pondered on the words of Hafaz and turned his face towards the cottage."
From the Federal Republican.
Have those, who labor so incessantly to bind our fate to the fortunes of Bonaparte, ever considered, that the duration of his power is as precarious as any thing human can be? Should it not be broken in pieces by the new confederacy, which the news of every succeeding day may be expected to announce, it cannot be transferred to his family at his death. There is sufficient room to believe that he was lately laboring under a total derangement of the mind or a dangerous malady of the body, of the event of which we remain ignorant. The letter received by the Wasp, from L'Orient, confirmed by the intelligence circulated in England from Guernsey, leaves no room for doubt of the fact. Neither of his brothers has ability or energy of character to maintain himself upon the throne, should it become vacant by this or any future attack of disease. Whether either of his generals or the old line of monarchs will occupy it must be uncertain. The termination of the English civil war in the restoration of Charles the 2d, may and most probably will be imitated in France on the decease of Bonaparte. The Bourbons are superior in every other quality, besides the legitimacy of their title, to the foul brood that has succeeded them. The French nation knows this, and that their condition has in every way been deteriorated in the experiment they have made in the revolutionary change. As there can be no predilection for the Bonapartes, so the recurrence to the old stock will be invited by an attention to the quiet and settlement of the nation. For it is a remarkable fact in the history of governments, that when any circumstance has occasionally happened to interrupt the regular transmission of monarchical power, the intruding family, which has usually owed its elevation to the rare and transcendent abilities of one or two of its members has, after a short lived possession been thrust out again. The creation of titular dignities and the assignment of large revenues extorted from the subject to influential individuals, cannot change but may accelerate the result. Power with all its splendors and enjoyments has hitherto rapidly shifted hands in revolutionary France, and were the charm which has so long fixed it where it now is, dissolved with the superior mind or the steady fortune of Napoleon, both of which combined have produced it, no obstruction could be experienced but from the army, to complete a radical overthrow of the envied grandeur which glitters on his favorites.
The next arrival from Europe may bring us the reality of this speculation, so precarious is ill-gotten authority and so presumptuous the reliance of those who hope to inherit it. But if the line of the Capets should remain excluded, and a military chief step into the vacant place of Napoleon, it cannot be imagined, that he could adhere to the gigantic plans and the desolating policy, which now prevail. The accumulation of means, which the present head of the French government possesses, would fail his successor. The rivalry of unsuccessful competitors would render him more anxious to fortify his throne, than to extend his conquests by any uncommon exertion in foreign countries.
It is therefore an interesting enquiry where we shall be carried by putting aside in the same balance with the present government of France? If we should escape recolonization, which is a supposition at variance with what has happened every other nation that has yielded to him, his successors would acknowledge no gratitude for our meanness. On the other hand we should be loaded with execrations of others for the sacrifices we made to their oppressor by choice and without the apology of compulsion, which many others have the right to plead. The American name would be the scorn and reproach of all, who would regard us as people who had shed our blood and gone through the struggles of a long and desolating war, without any genuine attachment to the principles, on which we declared it to be necessary. For in freely surrendering them to Bonaparte, we should be suspected of never having placed any real value upon them, more especially as the abandonment would be an accession to his means of enslaving or perpetuating the slavery of others.
Our condition, as the ally or vassal of Bonaparte, would also be materially more disadvantageous than that of our fellows. As they are all accessible by land, he can afford them protection, when necessary; and they enjoy by their contiguity the convenience of internal trade. We should be insulated from the rest of the world, and impenetrable to his assistance. We should be abandoned like Cuadalupe to do the best we could for our own safety; and we should be nearly deprived of communication with the rest of mankind. This is the deplorable situation a party of abandoned principles are suiting to place us in.

Agricultural and Manufacturing Company.
We have great pleasure in announcing to the public the formation of a society in this town, under the most favorable auspices, for the promotion of objects relating to agriculture and manufactures.
The following are the first proceedings of those who have so meritoriously laid the foundation of an institution pregnant with individual gratification and national good.
At a meeting of a number of gentlemen of the neighboring country held in Georgetown, (D. C.) on Wednesday the 1st of November, 1809.
Resolved, That we will associate for the purpose of encouraging home manufactures and the rearing of domestic animals, by inviting exhibitions and distributing premiums—that we will contribute each ten dollars annually, during three years, and that we will hold our meetings in Georgetown, in the District of Columbia.
Resolved, That Joseph Kent, of Prince George's County—Thomas Crampkin, of Montgomery county—Henry Maynard, of Anne Arundel county—John Mason, of Georgetown—and Tench Ringgold, of Washington city, be a committee on the part of this meeting, to make known their views to the citizens of the neighboring counties of Virginia and Maryland, and of the District of Columbia, and to invite such as may be disposed to encourage the objects in contemplation, to unite with us in rendering the proposed institution as extensively useful as possible.
Resolved, That a meeting of all the subscribers to the plan be held at the Union Tavern, in Georgetown, on Tuesday the 28th inst. at 1 o'clock, P. M. for appointing a time for the purpose of organizing the society, appointing a time for the first exhibitions, making arrangements as to premiums, &c.
Georgetown, (Col.) Nov. 2, 1809.
SIR, We have the pleasure to transmit to you the proceedings of a meeting held yesterday in this town, for the purposes therein designated.
Well persuaded that the plan devised will be of much advantage to the community, by occasionally bringing together gentlemen farmers and others to emulate each other, in the productions of our country, we beg permission to recommend it to your notice and patronage, and to invite you to join your efforts to ours, to encourage the objects in contemplation, and to render the proposed institution as extensively useful as possible.
Should it meet with your approbation, we beg the favor of you to circulate the enclosed subscription paper among your friends for signatures, as early as your convenience will permit.
We hope to have the pleasure of meeting you on the 28th, but should it not be agreeable to you to attend, be pleased to forward to us by mail otherwise, directed to

Cen. John Mason, at this place, a list of the names you may have obtained, so as to reach us previous to that day; as it will be essential, in order to fix the amount of premiums, to know at the meeting then to be held, the number of persons who may have at that time joined the association. The original subscription paper you will please return for further signatures.
We are respectfully,
Sir, your obedient servants, JOSEPH KENT, THOMAS CRAMPHIN, HENRY MAYNADIER, JOHN MASON, TENCH RINGGOLD.
We, whose names are subscribed, agree to associate for the purpose of forming and distributing premiums for the encouragement of Home Manufactures, and the rearing of Domestic Animals—to pay ten dollars each annually for three years—hold our meetings in Georgetown, and the first meeting for the purpose of organizing the society, at the Union Tavern, in said town, at one o'clock, P. M. on Tuesday the 28th of November, 1809.
We understand that the circular letters of the committee have been addressed to, and favorably received by a great number of the largest farmers and most enterprising agriculturalists, in the territory and the adjacent parts of the neighboring states; and that it is already ascertained that the fund will be large enough to enable the society to propose, at their next meeting, considerable premiums for the exhibition of various kinds of stock and manufactures, to be adjudged to those who shall merit them, some time in the course of next spring.
How extensively and reciprocally useful must not a plan of this kind become? Gentleman at a distance from each other, engaged in those important pursuits, will have an opportunity of imparting and receiving information on interesting subjects—of forming mutual connections and acquaintances—of exchanging and distributing stocks of different and improved breeds—and in short by thus being occasionally convened at a central point, of diffusing throughout the whole district of country embraced by the association whatever advantages in stock or in manufacturing that may happen to be possessed, not only by any portion of that district, but by any individual member of that society.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21.
Yesterday arrived sloop Pebe, Turley, 57 days from Carthagena, who informs that markets were dull, and that they were overstocked with English manufactures—That the port of Carthagena was opened for 9 months for neutrals, with the prohibition of dry goods and spirituous liquors.
The Spaniards throughout South America, it was said, were ripe for a revolution—they say they will not submit to any other crowned head than Ferdinand 7th; him they appear willing should be their prince, should he once more regain the Spanish throne, but should he fail, then they are clear for setting up a republican form of government, independent of any European Junta or other power. The province of Quito, it was said, had already set up an independent government, and thrown off all obedience to the Spanish government. To quell the spirit of insurrection, so called, troops were marching from the other Spanish provinces against the inhabitants of Quito, who had already chosen their junta and declared themselves a free and independent people.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25.
We are informed that Mr. Jackson left Washington yesterday on his way to New York. It is not probable that he will return to the seat of government any more; nor do we expect that another British minister will be sent to this country, in the present state of our affairs with that nation.
Congress will meet at the capitol in Washington, on Monday next. We understand that Mr. Varnum, the speaker, and several other members of the house, have already arrived in that city.
We have heard some conjectures from Washington which we hope, to use the language of brother editor Smith, are unfounded. It has been hinted that the late affair with Mr. Jackson will cost Mr. Secretary Smith his place; and that the whole business has been contrived by a certain cunning Frenchman, who stands ready to step into Mr. Smith's shoes, which he thinks he ought to have worn long ago.
It is hinted that some of the leading democratic members of Congress, who have arrived at the seat of government, have expressed their fears that Mr. Smith has been too precipitate in closing the door of negotiation with England. They think he might have waited until the meeting of the national legislature before he discharged Mr. Jackson. It is reported that a caucus has been held to give the officers of the administration a chance to justify themselves for their conduct; and that their communications to their good friends, like Mr. Erskine's letter to the secretary, have been abundantly satisfactory. We shall probably hear more of this affair after the commencement of the session.
On Saturday arrived in Hampton Roads, the French National schr. Tilsit, commanded by Mons. Desmolands, in 40 days from Bayonne. It is said that she brings dispatches for the French minister at Washington.
[Norfolk Ledger.]
The New York Gazette of Monday last, says, "We have been informed from the best authority, that the British packet, now undergoing repairs here, is ordered to sail as soon as possible, to carry out Mr. Oakeley, who is bearer of important despatches from Mr. Jackson. It is supposed the packet cannot be got ready for sea before Thursday or Friday next."
The rupture between our cabinet and the British minister, is a circumstance which must give serious concern to every one who has the interest and happiness of this nation at heart. The French party rejoice, and now look for the consummation of all their hopes, the reward of all their devotion to France, either under her revolutionary government, or Corsican master. It requires some patience to listen to some who are now assuming all the patriotism of the nation, when those who have taken the trouble to examine their conduct can produce incontrovertible evidence of a devotion to a foreign government, and an open and profligate opposition to their own. It will become such men, to assume in the present crisis airs of patriotism, and to ascribe to others a want of attachment to their government.
We feel a confidence, that the people of this nation, will rally round their government, and resent with firmness any attempt on the part of a foreign government or its agents, to insult the nation, or to intermeddle with its concerns. But when we see that already attempts are making to cause suspicion to be attached to the federalists, we are not inclined to be silent, the more when we recollect and know the foul source from whence these suspicions proceed.
We have no other authority for the truth of what is said to have been the conduct of Mr. Jackson, than what appears in the National Intelligencer, but believing it to be true, we have expressed our opinions, and to which we have nothing to add.
This is not the first instance in which the government has been insulted by a foreign minister, but we both hope and believe that it will not furnish another instance of countenance to a foreign agent, in contempt of all decency, and regard to the American character.
Those who are now assuming such extraordinary airs of virtue, will moderate a little in their high tone, when they find, that their conduct is not forgotten, upon more occasions than one. Most part, if not nearly all of our readers, know the conduct of GENET, he insulted this government by language, which is too indecent to be here repeated, he assumed the right of carrying on naval and military enterprizes from our country, by commissioning and arming our citizens against nations with whom we were at peace. He had the audacity to say that the president ought to have convened Congress upon his arrival, making himself the judge of the duties of the president; when checked in this insolent career, he threatened to appeal, and actually did appeal to the people. He was supported by a party notwithstanding, and upon a memorable occasion the following toast was given:—"The persecuted citizen Genet, may the shafts of calumny aimed at him, recoil on their archers." This was after his recall, which was at the instance of the president. Fauchet pursued the same insolent conduct, and had the insolence when speaking of the president's proclamation of neutrality, to call it insidious." Adet was not behind his predecessors, and closed his mission by an appeal to the people, for the express purpose of influencing an approaching election. Under all these disgraceful circumstances, these ministers, found a party and papers, who openly sustained them in their indecent and dangerous proceedings.
Even after the unjust conduct of the French government had proceeded to such length, that this nation was driven to arms, the party still supported their pretensions. And of the evidence of the intrigues of the French government with the citizens of this country, one instance among many will be sufficient to notice. The answer of the French minister of foreign relations to our ministers in the year 1798, was in the possession of a printer in this country, before it reached the American government. With all these, and many more proofs of a similar nature, which could be produced, shall such men lay exclusive claim to the confidence of the nation? Will the people bestow their confidence on those, who have enlisted themselves under the banners of a foreign power? In bringing these circumstances into notice at this juncture, we have no other object than to guard our fellow citizens against those whose motives by reference to the facts which we have stated cannot be doubted.

A fat jury. —At a court held in Sampson county, in North Carolina, on the 25th ult. the weight of the twelve jurymen amounted to 2,710 lbs. Two of them weighed 600, three 700, one 230, and the remaining six 1,180. As those gentlemen have long been residents in the county, we may form some idea of the healthiness of it, particularly as they were not selected on account of their size, which is thought moderate in that place.

The following VALUABLE PROPERTY.
A TRACT OF LAND,
CONTAINING 1600 acres, more or less, called and known by the name of Buffalo Marsh, lying within 12 miles of Winchester, in the county of Frederick, in the state of Virginia. On about 900 acres of this tract there are several very well improved farms tenanted for life or lives, the balance free of all incumbrance, including an excellent merchant mill built with stone, the whole yielding an annual rent of about 800 dollars. Much of this tract is very fertile, well watered, and all abundance of timber. It is generally rolling, but part of it is hilly and stoney, chiefly of fine stone. It will be laid off to suit purchasers.
Another tract, called Hollis's Marsh, lying in the county of Westmoreland containing about 2800 acres, bordering on the river Potomac, adjoining the Stratford estate, and the late residence of Richard Lee, esq. of Chantilly. On the estate are a number of farms and tenants at will. Part of this land is extremely fertile, and all of it as good as the lands generally are in that part of the country. The Marsh affords excellent range for stock, and is happily situated for fish and fowls of which that river abounds, and must be a desirable estate to any person who may choose to reside in that part of the country. It will however be laid off to suit purchasers. The above lands are held by deeds of purchase duly recorded in the general court.
Another tract containing 992 acres, lying in the county of Berkeley, adjoining the residence of Rawleigh Colston, esq. of which about 660 acres is leased for the balance of the life of an aged man, the rest tenanted at will. This land is situated in what is called the big bend of Potomac, and borders on it. In point of fertility it is esteemed inferior to none in that part of the state and is held by deed from James Marshall, esq.
Seven other tracts containing 1000 acres each, adjoining each other in the county of Mason, within a few miles of the Ohio, between the two Kanawha's on the waters of Sandy Creek, which runs through a considerable part of it. It adjoins the lands of general Washington, and the late Benjamin Harrison, jun. esq. A large portion of it is rich bottom and the upland of very good quality. It is held under the original patentee by deeds duly recorded in the general court.
Five full & complete Shares in the Dismal Swamp Company.
Upwards of 16,000 acres of Lands, being very old military rights, lying in the states of Ohio, Kentucky and the Indiana territory, chiefly patented in my own name and ready to be shewn.

The titles are all undoubted, and the terms proposed are, one fourth in cash at the time of conveyance, the balance in three instalments, the last two to be on interest from the date. Any species of the public stock and of the different Banks in the United States of Insurance Companies—of the Potomac Bridge and Turnpike Companies will be received in payment according to their fair value. Ground rents in the city of Richmond and town of Alexandria, or Houses and Lots, will likewise be received in payment according to such rates as may be agreed upon.

It consists of Five and Twenty Hundred acres, lying on the waters of Bull and Little Rocky runs, in the counties of Fairfax and Prince William.
