AM ELEGY.
'TIS night: all nature rests in soft repose, A death-like calm succeeds the busy scene; A respite now is granted mortal woes, And ev'ry pastime dies upon the green.
Now labor rests, and virtuous sorrows sleep, And visions gently from the mind decay; Save where the mental monitor awakes to weep The past offences of departed day.
No whisper now is heard but from within, No fabric seen except by fancy built; No voice is heard except the voice of sin, No sound resounds but in the ear of guilt.
Except those awful sounds which wake the soul, Inspiring sounds a mournful joy impart; O'er earth-born cares exert their strong con- troul, And bring the 'joys of sorrow' to the heart.
The groan of forests, or the echoing shore, The breeze which gently sighs along the vale; The dying murmurs, or the distant roar, The whistling grass, or else the owlet's tale.
Now fancy gladly roams where ruin frowns, Avoids each scene with transient glory gay; Prefers unpeopled wastes and ruin'd towns, To all the glitter'ng pageant of a day.
Or else repairs to some sequester'd cell, Some rueful cave bestrew'd with human bones; Where anguish and despair forever dwell, Whose sponsive echoes only learn to moan.
Or else, where lie interr'd the mighty dead; The dead who fill'd with feuds their little span; For whose ambition conquer'd armies bled, Who dealt destruction 'mongst the works of man.
Can conquer'd realms, or gasping armies yell, Recall the fleeting spirit to its clay? Or change their fate where sacred volumes tell, The clods that sleep are far more blest than they.
O ye who careless of the coming hour, With eye unmoisten'd human woes survey; Who sternly execute relentless power, And plant with briars life's uneven way.
Whose reeking hands with human blood im- bru'd, Ne'er knew the pleasure to extend relief; Whose callous soul by pity unsubdu'd, Could add new sorrows to the pangs of grief.
When death proclaims the inexorable hour, And nature triumphs o'er the guiles of art, Can conquests, passing fame or lawless power, One gleam of comfort to the mind impart?
Can human fame which like a meteor flies, Can wealth or glory in that hour befriend? Can power arrest the mandate of the skies, Or check our progress to our journey's end?
But ah! 'tis death alone with certain aim, Observ'd to strike the tyrant from his car! To hurl from tow'ring heights, to final shame, The sons of blood, the thunderbolts of war?
Ah no! the tyrant clad in sable weeds, Exerts, in private scenes, resistless sway; The man of honor or inglorious deeds, Alike, the fatal summons must obey.
Here unregretted falls the low-lodg'd swain, Of silent virtue and of untaught mind; Like some neglected tree upon the plain, Which falls and strews its leaves upon the wind.
No more shall care disturb his sound repose, To ply the repeated labours of the day; No more he'll hear, distress'd, the melting woes, Of her who strove to soothe his cares away.
Here falls the man of mirth, of fancy wild, Forever mute who never was before; At whose approach dull melancholy smil'd, Who kept the festive table in a roar.
No more he tells the tale of other days, Nor chase the village sorrows with a song; Nor soothe, at eve, around the social blaze, The sorrows which to poverty belong.
And here, unwilling victim, beauty dies, A gathering mist obscures the sparkling eye; From the pale cheek the inconstant color flies, And radiant charms eclip'd neglected lie.
Ah whither fled? ye dear illusions stay, Will no kind spring departed bloom restore? See pale and lifeless, lies the lovely clay, Which gave the heart a 'pulse unknown before.'
But why shall partial ruin claim the sigh? When thought is due to other themes sub- lime; Triumphant fate shall course along the sky, And death direct a dart at hoary time.
The earth shall fall, earth's actors top shall die, Their works in awful conflagration burn; The sun shall fall extinguish'd from the sky, And times and seasons never shall return.
Let bliss, unchanging bliss excite desire, Since life is transient and its joys are vain; To everlasting happiness aspire, Who drinks of other streams shall thirst again.
[We have received a number of Cobbett's Weekly Register, from which the follow- ing article is extracted to shew the opinions entertained in England on the points at is- sue between that country and the United States.]—NAT. INTEL.
"IT seems, if one can form a guess at their intentions, to be the design of the ousted treasury clerks, whom the Morning Chronicle persists in calling an "Opposition," to set up a very loud cry against whatever terms this treaty may contain; but, the ground they are prepared to take, is, that we ought to have strictly adher- ed to what they call the rule of 1756, from which rule, be it remarked, they supported Pitt in de- viating from in several instances. But, this fact will not, I allow, make any thing in justify- cation of the ministers, if they have given up any of our essential rights. To allow, in the way of grant for a particular purpose, and upon equitable conditions, any neutral nation to trade with France, during war, or even to be the car- rier of French colonial produce, may, however, be politic. There is a passage in a pamphlet lately published, under, it is said, the sanction of a person high in office, laying down principles, upon which a permission, or grant, of this sort, may possibly have been made. It is this: "1. The destruction of an enemy's trade is not to be desired in order to annihilate its national wealth. 2. By the individual prosperity of its subjects we ourselves gain; by their progress in riches we improve our own; and though no private re- venue may be augmented by the increase of his public wealth, we must necessarily augment our own revenue by the increase which our wealth re- ceives from his. 3. It is no progress in arms not in arts that is formidable; and there cannot be a doubt that an experiment, which renders him richer and weaker, which augments the opulence of his people, and makes them harmless, which preserves their trade, and stunts the growth of their navy, is of all others the contrivance best suited to our interests. 4. The surrender of the French commerce to the neutral nation is this expedient." The Courier newspaper, which is the organ of the Ousted Clerks, cites this pas- sage in confirmation of its apprehensions, that the ministers have made a disgraceful treaty with the American states; but, if they actually have made a treaty upon the great and enlightened principles expressed in the 3d sentence (I have numbered them for the sake of reference) though this principle may not be comprehensible to the Ousted Clerks, I shall entertain a hope, that they will never lose sight of that principle in any of their measures. Whether the expedient, de- scribed in the 4th sentence, would be chanc- ous as to the purpose in view, must depend much up- on the circumstances of the case; and, without some explanation, to shew us, that we, as well as the enemy, are not rendered weak by the in- crease of our national wealth, we must, I think, regard the 2d sentence as militating against the argument contained in the 3d; for, it appears strange, first to say, that we shall grow rich by the increase of the enemy's national wealth, and then to say, that it will be good to suffer that wealth to increase, because it will enfeeble the e- nemy."
The principle, however, laid down in the 3d sentence I heartily agree to; and, it is not without some little price, that I refer, as in my motto, to the letter to Pitt, a great part of which was occupied in an endeavor to prove and to illustrate the truth of that principle. Happy shall I be to find, that the ministers of England begin, at last, thus to think and to talk. After having, for so many years, heard the shallow brained Pitt, and his still more shallow brained followers, declaiming upon our "commercial greatness," our "inexhaust- ible resources," our "capital, credit and re- sources" as the sinews of war, as the sure & certain means of triumph over our enemies; after having so long, heard the master de- claimer ranting upon the beggared state of the enemy, and exulting, in strains of inimitable bombast, at seeing him "on the verge, nay, in the very gulph of bankruptcy" after seeing lords Castlereagh and Hawkesbury drawing out and arraying our custom-house accounts, the lists of our canals, turnpike roads and bills of enclosure, against the armies of France; after all this senseless and disgusting talk, it is really a comfort to read, from under the re- puted sanction of men in power, "that we ought not to desire to diminish the national wealth or revenues of our enemy, and that, whatever renders him rich does also render him weak." It is really a comfort to one's heart to hear this; and especially if one could but rely that the ministers would begin and resolutely continue to act upon the principle. I am in hopes, too, that the nation, taught by woeful experience, will now receive and cher-
ish this important truth; and I flatter myself, that, upon this point, as upon most others, the Ousted Clerks will meet with the contempt which their party cavilling is so eminently cal- culated to excite."
FROM THE ATLAS.
"Those suns are set; O rise some other such "Or all that we have left is empty talk "Of old achievements and despair of new." Cowper.
THERE has been a time Mr. Printer in the history of our country to which every benevolent mind looks back with a kind of instinctive regret, and sighs at the reflec- tion that the like will probably return a- gain no more forever. "Like the memory of joys that are past pleasing yet mournful to the soul." Yes, there was such a time. It was an era full of glory. It beamed bright with the prosperity, the happiness and the honor of our country. The com- mencement of our political existence was like the clear dawn of the morning. Scarce a cloud sailed on the skirts of the horizon —Winds and storms were hushed. Every thing seemed to stand still and admire the beauty and grandeur of the prospect. On the sublime height of the love and admi- ration of his people, sat the immortal Washington. His eye beamed with intel- ligence, and his countenance was illumin- ated with the illustrious qualities of his heart. Around him stood the gigantic war worn veterans of the country. Peace and plenty smile when they behold him; while patriotism, national glory, and fel- icity hailed them as their only safeguard and hope. Then it was that this illustri- ous band organized and put in motion the admirable and complicated system of our government. Then it was that they adopt- ed and put in execution those measures, which in a few years raised this country to an unexampled height of prosperity and happiness. It was then that learning and worth were honored and rewarded; while ignorance and vainglorious ambition were viewed only to be detested. Then Wash- ington lived—Then Adams shielded by the uncorrupted integrity of his heart, and supported by the love of the Ameri- can people, held the reins of government. But such a scene was too lovely to be of long duration. "The dawn was over- cast." The murmuring thunders began to be heard—the cloud which at first was "like a man's hand," first spread itself.— The scene was darkened. Yet undaunted was our hero.
Fix'd and unmov'd he stood, Amidst the storm which thick had gathered round him; And with a firmness noble as his soul, He liv'd the guardian angel of his coun- try.
But— "Farewell such hours and with them fare- well "The hope of such hereafter."
Let any candid, dispassionate man, take a survey of the short period of the admin- istrations of Washington and Adams, and he cannot but declare, that no nation under Heaven, in the same period of time, ever made such advances in the arts, in the wealth, in science, in civilization, and in every thing which can render a nation great, honorable, and happy. Let him re- flect as becomes a rational, accountable being, and he cannot but be astonished at the wisdom, the prudence, and the mag- nanimity which were displayed during this period. Yet this is the period, which, by many, is so much deprecated. This is the era of tyranny; the "reign of terror." No, sir, this period was the reign of those real republican principles which alone are deserving of the name—It was the period of Federalism. It was they who instituted all those wise and salutary laws and regu- lations, under whose happy influence we now enjoy so much prosperity and happi- ness. The wheels of government still run, but they run not so much by the skill and exertion of those who now manage, as of those who first adjusted the parts, and gave motion to the whole machine. The present administration found every thing in order, at their hand. They refuse to ascribe any honor or merit whatever to their predecessors, and arrogate to them- selves the honor of what they never did nor ever could do. Yet all this is not with- out a parallel—Human nature is the same in all ages—there seems to be no cure for national ingratitude and folly. Notwith- standing we were prosperous and happy; notwithstanding we were blest with the best, the most happy constitution of go- vernment under Heaven; notwithstanding we had a Washington and an Adams at the helm to direct and govern, yet we had our Humans, who could not rest so long as
they saw these men laden with the ho- nors, the love, and the confidence of the people.—In vain was it for them to endeavor to effect a revolution in public sentiment; to bring such men into contempt, and raise themselves on the ru- ins of national honor and prosperity, by appealing to the understanding and sense of the people. They very well knew the passions, and not reason were to be called into action, and knowing it, the faithfully executed what they saw so well calculated to answer the sordid and cor- rupt propensities of their hearts. I repeat it. It was not by an appeal to reason, to truth, to the understanding, that a revo- lution in public sentiment was effected. It was by calling into action, the jealousies, the fears, nay, all the veering, changeful passions of the human heart. We are a people jealous of our rights; we love and cherish the principles of rational freedom. Can we be made to suspect that these are in danger, we at once rise indignant and call for the miscreants who would thus sport with all we hold dear. The friends, not of the people, but of their own aggran- disement, taking advantage of the honest jealousies, of freemen, sounded the to- cin of alarm. Our liberties were in dan- ger. A host of monarchists, aristocrats, old tories, and the like, had taken pos- session of the government. Poverty and vassalage were inevitable, unless these men could be removed, and they, the dear friends of the people, be made the guar- dians of our rights and liberties. We all know; it is a fact which cannot be contro- verted, that the majority of mankind ne- ver stop when they hear an alarm sounded to discover whether there is any ground for it but heedlessly rush on to effect what ever they can be made to believe will avert the danger which is apprehended. This was emphatically the case when certain unprincipled and ambitious leaders of a faction, determined, at all hazards, to bring our administration into contempt, and raise themselves on the ruins of honor, of patriotism, of integrity. And they succeeded but too well. I would not im- plicate the great body of the people. I believe them honest. I believe they wish well to the prosperity and happiness of their country. But they have their pas- sions; and the artful and designing very well know how to bring them into action. This has been the ruin of all free govern- ment; and it needs not the spirit of pro- phecy to predict that, if we fall, it must be by the very same means, and by the same description of men. The Siren sings, but sings to lure us on to destruc- tion. It is not open and avowed enemies that we have to contend with. Then we can meet in open day. It is from the art- ful deceiver, the open, noisy professor of great love for the people—the men who claim all the patriotism, the public spirit and benevolence as exclusively their own, that we are to suspect—the bane which we ought most to dread.
I would repeat it, that I do not consider the great majority of the people as much in fault. But I do condemn; I can never forgive those men who for their own ag- grandizement and private emolument, brought into contempt the fathers and heroes of our country; roused the fears and jealousies of their countrymen, when there was no existing cause; employed a gang of hire- ling foreign patriots of seventy-six, to print and circulate slander against those men & those measures which ought to have been forever revered for their excellence and their worth. If this was the spirit of se- venty six, may it never enter my breast. I wish not for such patriotism. Those men have an exclusive right to it. And is such patriotism still in vogue? Yes sir, its influence and operations are daily before our eyes. We know the propensity of hu- man nature for novelty and change, and cannot expect that the people of this state will be satisfied, till fatal experience shall open their eyes upon their own shame and ruin. This state must be revolutionized. But why? The state government must har- monize with the general government. Why was not this discovered during the admin- istration of Mr. Adams? Then it was not thought necessary. But his administra- tion was thought odious; was tyrannical. The chief magistrates of the several states ought not, in this case, to harmonize.— Who ever thought that they had not a right to judge for themselves? But in this state, our governor is proscribed and anathema- tized, because he will not applaud the pre- sident, when in his own conscience, he considers it would be morally wrong. He will not bestow praise where he thinks it is not due. His enemies will never exert it. We need only turn our eyes to the con- duct of our state legislature, since it has been under the influence of modern patriot- ism, to determine where such principles will finally land us, we see also that the

principles and conduct of our old rulers are the only guide to respectability, honor and happiness. Why then shall we pursue a factious good? Let us adhere to the salutary and wholesome principles of the old school. Let us be firm and unshaken in our support of the present governor, and thereby we shall infallibly secure the public good. Let us, with truth and steady hand oppose the disorganizing principles of the day, and with unshaken voice, say to the torrent of revolution, "Hitherto shalt thou come and no farther, and here shalt thy proud waves be stayed." MORDECAI."
NEW YORK, May 9.
Late and Interesting.
By the arrival this morning of the brig Bedford, captain Dunbar, in 39 days from Liverpool, we have received our regular file of London papers and Lloyd's Lists to the 27th of March, inclusive. The papers furnish late and interesting intelligence from the continent. A letter from Altona (which will be found in the succeeding column, under the London date of March 27) states that a continued series of battles were fought from the 26th of Feb. to the 8th of March, in which the Russians were victorious. A letter from Thorn states that the French lost 13 000 men, 5 generals, 47 pieces of cannon, and 15 eagles.
In the Commercial Advertiser of this evening, we have given as copious extracts as the late hour at which we received the papers would permit.
The papers are principally devoted to parliamentary and editorial discussions respecting the change of the British ministry. The new ministry has commenced its career under very unpromising circumstances. Already the strength of parties has been tried in Parliament, when the new ministers found themselves in a minority of 93—and an immediate dissolution of Parliament is mentioned as probable. The catalogue of new ministers was not completed on the 27th. The following received the seals of office on the 25th and 26th. The resignation of their predecessors having been accepted on the 25th.
Earl Westmoreland, lord privy seal. The duke of Portland, first lord of the treasury.
Lord Hawkesbury, secretary of state for the home department.
Mr. Canning, secretary of state for the foreign department.
Viscount Castlereagh, secretary of state for the war and colonial department.
Earl Elgin, lord lieutenant of Fifeshire Earl of Selkirk, lord lieutenant of Kirkcudbright Stewarty.
Earl Camden, president of the council. Lord Mulgrave, first lord of the admiralty.
Mr. R. S. Dundas, president of the board of control.
Earl Chichester, one of the post-masters general.
Earl Bathurst, president of the board of trade, and master of the mint.
Lord Charles Somerset, and Mr. Long, joint paymasters of the forces.
Marquis of Titchfield, one of the lords of the treasury.
Lord Lovaine, a member of the board of control.
LONDON, March 25: Further advices have been received from the continent of a very late date. They furnish intelligence of very great importance indeed, of which we have only time to give the principal heads.
The head quarters of the French army were about to be transferred to Berlin, and Bonaparte was expected in that city at the end of last week.
General Blucher who has been exchanged for general Victor, was about to set off to take the command in the Prussian army.
The Prussian insurgents on the right bank of the Oder are become so formidable, that the communication between Stettin and Thorn is almost entirely cut off.
Several corps of French, worn down by famine and fatigue, among the rest a considerable part of Oudinot's division, are reported to have laid down their arms.
General Bennigsen, subsequent to the battle of Eylau, received a reinforcement of 60,000 regulars, and thirty battalions of Cossacks, of 500 men each. On that memorable occasion the Russian army, according to the official statement, was only 70,000 strong. The French were calculated at 100,000 at least.
The want of forage is so great in that part of Poland occupied by the French, that they have been under the necessity of taking the thatch coverings off the houses, to supply their horses with provender.
March 26. The mail due on Sunday, arrived yesterday evening, and brought intelligence of great importance: Reinforced and supplied with every necessary, the Russians are again assuming the offensive, and advancing against the invincible Bonaparte, who no longer finding his season of repose on the Vistula, is falling back to Berlin. Though his head quarters were stated to be at Osterode on the 8th, he is said to have been seen on that day at Thorn. The foreign ambassadors at Warsaw, the whole tribe of envoys and ministers from the subject princes and allies of France, have been ordered to follow Talleyrand to Berlin. It is said even, in private letters, that the Russians have pushed their advanced posts to Warsaw, and that the French have experienced another defeat near Thorn.—Want and disaffection are also operating in support of the Russians, and a whole division of grenadiers, said to be Oudinot's, is stated to have gone over to the Russians. They had been peremptorily ordered by Bonaparte to make an attack when they had not had any subsistence for thirty-six hours.
The action of Braunnsberg, on the 26th, was followed by others most obstinately contested—the town was often taken and retaken; it was at last burnt; it covered the left wing of the French and prevented it from being turned. These actions are said to have taken place on the 27th, 28th and 29th. The Cossacks did eminent service. On one of those days they cut to pieces a whole division of French cavalry of 4000 men.
Magdeburg is to be immediately supplied with provisions and necessaries for a long siege. Does this look like Bonaparte's being at Petersburg by May day? In the rear too of the French positions, insurrection is gaining strength and confidence daily. The communication between Stettin and Thorn is almost entirely cut off.
When tyrants meet with a reverse of fortune, suspicion always haunts them. The invincible Napoleon imputing his want of success to his officers, is said to have accused several of them of treason. His former favorite Duroc is reported to have incurred his displeasure, and to have been sent back to France under an escort of gens d'arms.
It is imagined in the best informed naval circles, that the French squadron of three sail of the line and a frigate, full of troops which escaped a few nights since out of the outer road of Brest, are gone to the E. Indies.
March 27 Two Gottenburg mails arrived this morning, and two b.g. from Husum. They have brought great and most favorable intelligence.
Fresh Victories over the French.
Altona, March 20.
[Extract of a private letter.] "The advices that have been received here since my last from the combined Russian and Prussian armies, are of the most gratifying nature. The French if things go on as they have begun, will have no further occasion to issue their Bullets, to impose on the credulous part of the public, as they will be obliged to retreat much quicker than they came."
"On the 1st. instant Gen. Bennigsen's head quarters were at Heilsberg, the chief town of Ermeland in East Prussia, situated on the river Alle, where he had received the insignia of the order of St. Andrew as a token of the great satisfaction that his sovereign feels for his signal services and this mark of distinction was accompanied by an addition to his salary of twelve hundred rubles. He had broken up from Koningsberg already on the 24th ult. The Prussians under General Lestocq, were on his right wing. General Lestocq's head quarters were at Peterswald. On the 26th ult. the French gained an advantage over the Russians, and occupied the town of Braunnsberg on the Baltic, from whence they dislodged the Russians; but the latter returned to the attack on the 27th ult. when both parties became masters of the place, and alternately lost it again.—Those conflicts were most bloody; and the bravery and lion-like courage, and perseverance of the Russians, after daily battles with the enemy, from the 26th ult. to the 8th instant maintained the field of Braunnsberg, which was seen in flames on the 8th instant. In this place and near Heilsberg the French left near fifteen thousand dead on the field. Near the latter place the French general Lefebvre is said to have been taken prisoner with 6,000 men. Napoleon's head quarters were expected at Thorn on the 9th instant; and though the French had a considerable
force, consisting of their own troops and the German and Polish troops at Elbing, yet by the latest accounts they have been driven back, and general Bennigsen kept continually advancing. The Russians are about to receive two great reinforcements each of 80,000 men, one of which will be under the command of the Grand Duke Constantine. A private letter from Berlin of the 14th inst. says, that Talleyrand besides a great number of the diplomatic corps, returned thither via Breslaw, in Silesia, thinking the other no longer safe. Bonaparte was daily expected."
A letter from Thorn says the French lost 13,000 men, five generals, forty seven pieces of cannon, and 15 eagles.
An article from Berlin however of the 15th, in the Hamburg papers, mention nothing of any battles, and says the French head quarters and Bonaparte, were still at Osterode on the 8th.
Gottenburg, March 16. Letters from Copenhagen received by the post of to day, state that another severe battle took place the end of last month.

MARRIED, last evening, Mr. Martin George, of Lancaster county, Va. to Miss Kline, eldest daughter of Gabriel Kline, of this town.
In Paris papers of the 17th of March, under the St. Petersburg head, it is stated, that the emperor Alexander was constantly in council with his ministers: that the capital & neighboring governments swarmed with troops, marching to the armies; that 200 000 muskets were daily expected from England: that the emperor had resolved to march all his disposable force to the theatres of war in Poland, Turkey and Persia; and that immense convoys of provisions and forage were continually passing for the army in Poland. Prince Constantine had gone into Turkey.
The French describe the Russian career in Turkey as rapidly successful. But that the Ottomans are rising to force to oppose it.
