From the Baltimore American of Sept. 10.
OFFICIAL.
Preliminaries of Peace with Tripoli were signed on the 2d day of June last, and on the same day capt. Bainbridge, the officers and crew of the late Philadelphia, were liberated.
The following is an extract of a letter from commodore Rogers, to the Secretary of the Navy, dated
U. S. Ship Constitution, June 8, 1805.
"The Bashaw, conscious that by a continuance of his obstinacy, his town would fall a sacrifice to our forces in the course of the summer, proposed to us terms of peace, which left us no interest or motive in not acceding to them, as he acknowledged that he felt sensible our efforts would be sufficient to reduce his town, and oblige him to retire to the mountains. This acknowledgment at once precluded the possibility of acquiring any honor by our arms—but indeed the reverse, as it would have been persecuting an enemy, who, in anticipation of our vengeance, by his own acknowledgment, felt himself more than half vanquished, and who, perhaps, in his perturbation, might have carried his resentment to the sacrifice of 300 of our countrymen, whom chance had placed in his power."
Commodore Barron, owing to the debilitated state of his constitution, was constrained to resign the command of the squadron to captain Rodgers, on the 22d of May.
The following is a copy of a letter from captain Hull, of the Argus, to commodore Barron, dated
"Argus (Derne) April 28.
"Sir,
"I have the honor to inform you, that at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 27th, being about 10 miles to the eastward of the town of Derne, with the Hornet in company, we discovered the Nautilus at anchor very close to the shore, which led us to suppose that captain Dent had fallen in with Mr. Eaton's army, as he had been sent on shore for that purpose the day before. We made all sail for the Nautilus, and at half past 10, spoke her, and were informed by capt. Dent, that he had communication with Mr. Eaton the night before, and that he wished the field pieces landed as soon as possible, that Mr. Eaton intended to make an attack as soon as he could get possession of them, being only about two and a half miles from the town of Derne, and the enemy having sent him a challenge, I hoisted out our boat and sent the field pieces on shore, with such supplies as Mr. Eaton wanted; but on approaching the shore we found it was impossible to land the guns, without hauling them up an almost perpendicular rock, 20 feet above the boat, but with the perseverance of the officers and men sent on this service, they effected the landing of one of them, by hauling it up the steep rock. Mr. Eaton, finding that he should lose time in landing the other, he sent it off again, informing me that he should march for the town as soon as he could possibly mount the field piece that he had on shore. I gave lieut. Evans orders to stand close in shore to cover the army whilst they were preparing to march in case the enemy should come out against them, as they had already made their appearance in large numbers outside of the town. I gave orders for the necessary preparations to be made for the attack by sea upon the town and batteries, and stood down very close to the town. At 2 P. M. Mr. Eaton began the attack by land, at the same time the Hornet, lieut. Evans anchored with springs on her cables within 100 yards of the battery of eight guns, and commenced a heavy fire upon it; the Nautilus took her station to the eastward of the Hornet, about half a mile distant from shore, and opened upon the town and batteries; the Argus anchored a little without, and to the eastward of the Nautilus, and began firing upon the town and batteries. The fort kept up a heavy fire for about an hour, after which the shot flying so thick about them, they abandoned it, and ran into the town and gardens back; the guns of the vessels were then turned on the beach, and kept up a heavy fire on the enemy, to clear the way for the few brave Christians Mr. Eaton had with him, to enter the fort, as they were very fast gaining ground, tho' a heavy fire of musketry was constantly kept up upon them from behind the houses and old walls near the shore.
At about half past 3 we had the satisfaction
to see lieut. O'Bannen, of the marine corps, and Mr. Mann, midshipman of the Argus with a few brave fellows with them, enter the fort, haul down the enemy's flag, and plant the American ensign on the walls of the battery. On turning the guns of the battery on the town, they found that the enemy had left them in great haste, as they were printed and loaded at their hands. Whilst our men were turning the guns of the battery on the town, Hamet Bashaw had taken possession of the back part of it, which brought the enemy between two fires, that soon silenced them; and about 4 in the afternoon we had complete possession of the town and fort; sent all our boats on shore for the purpose of carrying ammunition to the fort, & to bring off the wounded men as soon as possible, that they might be dressed. Mr. Eaton gave the necessary orders at the fort, and went into the town to see every thing quiet, and to make arrangements for its being well guarded during the night. At half past 5 he returned on board, to get his wound dressed, having received a musket-ball through his left wrist. On collecting our men, we found one killed and thirteen wounded—a list of which is inclosed.
I have the honor to be,
Sir,
Your obedient humble servant, (Signed) ISAAC HULL."

Extract of a letter from Capt. Bainbridge, "On board the Constitution Frigate, Malta, June 8, 1805."
"I am here with all the officers of the late frigate Philadelphia, in good health, having been liberated in consequence of a treaty, honorable to our country, made with the Bashaw of Tripoli, on the 3d instant."
"I have solicited a court of enquiry, which I expect will be held in about eight days."
Extract of a letter to a gentleman in this city.
"U. S. Frigate Siren, at Malta, June 22, 1805."
"Since my last to you a peace has been effected between the Bashaw of Tripoli and the U. States. We sailed from Gibraltar on the 4th instant, and arrived here the 19th, when we were informed that the Bashaw had sent one of his principal officers over to this port, to negotiate a treaty with colonel Lear, but the colonel would have nothing to say to him, and he returned to Tripoli; when the Bashaw sent another officer of distinction, with a letter from the Spanish consul, declaring that it was the sincere wish of his Tripolitan majesty to make a peace; colonel Lear immediately sailed for Tripoli in the Constitution, and made his proposals, which I have understood were as follows:—"
"That the U. States should pay Tripoli 60,000 dollars, for the ransom of the officers and crew of the Philadelphia frigate—that we should pay him no tribute or consular presents—that he should immediately receive our consul."
"These terms were acceded to, and our countrymen immediately left their confinement, and are now at Syracuse, all in good health, having lost but four men during their confinement, and two of those by accident. Commodore Barron is still in ill health, and had resigned the command of the squadron to capt. Rogers, prior to the negotiation; he intends returning to the U. States immediately, in the Constitution. Lieut. Cooper, of the marine corps, it is supposed, will be left at Tripoli, as charge des affaires—I forgot to inform you that, prior to the peace, Gen. Eaton landed at Alexandria, and took command of 3000 Arabs—joined the exiled Bashaw, and marched to Derne, and demanded the surrender of the town which was refused—he carried it by assault, by an escalade. He was wounded in the wrist by a musket-ball. The pay of his troops will be 7 or 8000 dollars, so that the peace will cost 68,000 dollars.—Captain Stewart informed me this morning, that it was probable we should sail for Egypt in a few days, which affords us much pleasure."
The IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE Of peace with Tripoli, and freedom to our late American captives, is completely confirmed by the following arti-
cle: but, effected, as it appears by different, and rather less pleasing measures than those heretofore stated, by the arrival at Salem, &c. But although it proves that our spirited and enterprising countryman, General Eaton, was not the negotiator for the desirable achievements in question, still it is most probable that his glorious and splendid operations in the interior of the country softened down the inflexibility of the hostile Bashaw into something like moderation, and, no doubt, produced his precipitancy of compliance with the terms of peace.
[The following extract we copy from a letter, in the hands of a commercial friend received from an officer on board the Constitution, dated Malta, June 26, 1805.]
"Our differences with Tripoli, have at length been completely and in my mind honorably settled, through commodore Rodgers and colonel Lear, and it has been done without firing a single shot at the city. The terms on which the peace has been concluded, will be made known to you through the proper department. The outlines of which I will here state: first an exchange of prisoners was agreed upon, so far as they went, say 89. For the remaining 213 we paid 60,000 dollars; without consular presents, annual tribute, or any other consideration. All the American prisoners were released previous to the signing of the treaty, or a compliance on our part with any of the stipulations—which evidently shews how anxious the Bashaw was to end the very unprofitable contest he had been so long engaged in with the Americans. The Tripolitan prisoners were not delivered to the Bashaw until the frigate Constitution had left Tripoli with the Americans, arrived at Syracuse, received on board the Tripolitans, and returned to Tripoli; and all this was done in twelve days."
CHARLESTON, September 6.
Mr. J. B. Jarboe, gunner, and Mr. James Love, sail-maker, on board the brig Jane, of Baltimore, which was captured and sent into Barracoa, and who arrived at this port in the brig Lear, have furnished us with the following particulars of that action:
On the morning of the 25th July, off the Platform, were engaged by the French privateer Superb, capt. Dominique, mounting 6 guns, with 87 men, completely accoutred with muskets, &c. The Jane mounted 16 carriage-guns, and at the commencement of the action had 44 men, six or eight of which were too sick to stand the deck; her commander, capt. Wm. Kennedy, was killed early in the action, which lasted about one hour, when the privateersmen carried the Jane by boarding, after being twice before beaten off, in attempting it. On boarding, the Frenchmen behaved in the most shameful and cruel manner: Mr. Anderson, the mate, who was wounded in the arm, and who was the only remaining officer on deck when they came on board, was immediately cut down with their sabres, as were also one man and a boy, who had not secured their retreat by running below. Mr. Fanning, supercargo of the ship which was captured in company, and who had taken passage in the brig for safety, was thrown overboard, and endeavoring to swim to the privateer, was wantonly shot while in the water. The remainder of the crew of the Jane were cruelly treated by the privateersmen, and plundered of every thing.
The following are the names which can be recollected of those who were killed or wounded on board the Jane. The whole number was 17 killed, and 9 wounded.
KILLED.
William Kennedy, master. Mr. Anderson, first mate. William Dexter, boatswain. Henry Smith, boatswain's mate. Alexander Moulton, carpenter. Wm. Johnson, Charles Lewell, Robert Valliant, Joseph Pemberton, Francis Bowen, Wm. Grenell, John Baker, John Cooney—seamen.
Wounded and in the hospital at Barracoa. Jeremiah P. Davis, second mate, dangerously.
John Jennings, Thomas Howell, and George Davis, seamen; the cook and his mate.
The sch'r Satellite, captain Hall, of Baltimore, with a cargo of coffee, valued at 14,000 dollars, was also captured and sent into Barracoa.
The brig Sally, Isaac Burr, jun. of N. York, for Kingston, (Jam.) was taken on the 11th July, off Turk's Island, by the French privateer —, commanded by captain Carvine, and arrived into Barracoa. The passengers were con-
fined four days to the cabin, and plundered of their clothes, money, &c. The passengers were, John Cortleyan, esq. of Long-Island; William Wyllie, esq. of Dublin; and captain Wilson of the late Aberdeenshire regiment.
Capt. Taylor informs us that a great number of vessels have been recently carried into Barracoa—among them the brig Jane of Baltimore, and a schooner belonging to the same place, both with valuable cargoes from St. Domingo. The Jane was captured after a very hard-fought action, in which the commander, capt. Kennedy, his mate, and 15 men, were killed, and 9 wounded; the Frenchmen had 25 killed and wounded. The gunner and several of the men are passengers in the Lear. The schooner Martha and Mary, Ford, of Baltimore, had been taken by a Spanish privateer, which followed her out of the port, and carried into a small port adjacent, where she was plundered; but was afterwards released, and had sailed for St. Jago de Cuba. Several vessels belonging to this port. Capt. Taylor was boarded on the passage by the British government schooner Experiment.

TRENTON, (N. J.) September 2.
On Thursday last arrived at the seat of Mr. Le Gued, at Morrisville, (Penn.) opposite this place, the celebrated GENERAL MOREAU, and family.—This gentleman is now in the 41st year of his age; his stature about the middle size—his appearance plain and unassuming. He came to this country an exile from that of his nativity, where for the last ten years past, he distinguished himself in the command of the army of the Rhine, as one of the ablest Generals of the age.—The character of General Moreau, as a soldier and citizen, is the most unexceptionable of any of the leaders of the French revolution. By his great worth and brilliant achievements he became uncommonly popular in the French national armies.—This excited Buonaparte's jealousy—he therefore sought his downfall, and obtained a decree for his banishment.—His family consists of his wife and two children—he is said to possess an ample fortune.
On Saturday governor Bloomfield and a number of the principal federalists of this place paid their respects to the General.

MARTINSBURG, September 20.
The Rev. C. STREET will preach in the Stone Church in Martinsburg, on Sunday next at 10 o'clock, A. M.
It is with great regret that we state the re-appearance of the malignant fever in Philadelphia. The board of health have commenced the publication of a daily statement of new cases. On the 1st inst. four and on the 2d seven patients were admitted into the hospital.
We are sorry to learn from the most correct source of information, that a considerable alarm has taken place, on the subject of the yellow fever, in the city of N. York. In consequence of the death of some persons who have had all the usual symptoms of that dreadful disorder, several houses in the neighbourhood of the Tontine Coffee house have been shut up, and many families have removed into the country. We hope that New-York, as well as Philadelphia, will not long labour under this scourge, the progress of which in both places, has hitherto been slow and confined.
GEN. EATON.—The public are anxious to learn some particulars of their countryman who has recently acquired so much fame in Africa. We understand he is a native of the western part of Massachusetts, and has a wife and family there or in Vermont. He was educated on the savings of his pay as a soldier in the revolutionary army, at Dartmouth College; and graduated about the year 1798. He was a captain in the U. States' service, at Gen. St. Clair's defeat near the Miami, where he signalized his courage. President WASHINGTON appointed him Consul at Tunis, where he discharged his duty with zeal and ability. When the expelled Bashaw of Tripoli (SIDI HAMET CABAMANLI) applied to the United States, through Commodore MORRIS, for assistance in recovering the throne usurped by his brother; and promising on his part, would the United States advance 30,000 dol-

lars, 20,000 stand of arms, &c. and co-operate with their fleet, he would, if successful, make an advantageous Peace with the United States; a correspondence on the subject passed between the Secretary of State (Mr. MADISON) and Mr. EATON, who made known his project. The project was afterwards sanctioned by government; and Mr. EATON commissioned to co-operate with the exiled BUSHAW. The consequence is now known.
By Captain Gross we have received Paris papers to the 10th, and Bourdeaux papers to the 15th July. In these papers we perceive but few articles worth extracting, which are in this day's paper. We noted that they contained an authentic account of the capture of Jamaica by the combined fleet, but this (as wits of Boston say of "Norfolk news") is French news. Peace appears to be a desirable object in France, as we judge from the editorial speculations on that subject; indeed some affirm positively that peace is very near at hand. These papers do not mention the death of Talleyrand, and as our files are regular that intelligence must be premature. [Norfolk Ledger.]
The Convention-Mania, has at length reached the state of Kentucky. A Mr. Mathew Flournoy, (we believe a member of Assembly in that state) has boldly come forward with a proposition to call a convention for altering the constitution of Kentucky, and has affixed his name to the performance. Contrary to our conventionalists in Pennsylvania, who wish to have the Senators elected yearly one of Mr. Flournoy's objects is to have the whole legislative body to meet but once in every three years. We have but little doubt, that if Duane and his malcontents were in Kentucky, & thought it would promote their interests they would take part with Mr. Flournoy.—CHANGE is all they want, and provided it is CHANGE, it is of little moment to them what kind of a CHANGE. [Freem. Journal.]
The Convention or Constitution-mending mania (says the Baltimore Federal Gazette) is not peculiar to Kentucky, Pennsylvania or New-York: We have a number of Political tinkers in this state, who are equally resolved to make business for themselves. Harford and Cecil are their principal shops; and Messrs. Montgomery and Sheridan are said to be the head workmen.
PARTY SPIRIT.
To those who value the happiness and well-being of the "Union," it must be a constant source of regret, to behold the rancor of party spirit, so prevalent in this country, which has of late disturbed its political harmony, causing divisions among all classes of our fellow citizens, creating dissensions in private families, and destroying that mutual confidence between man and man, which is necessary in the daily transactions of society. And this spirit, instead of diminishing every day increases. The fire of revenge is kindling; and, if once blown into a flame, Heaven only knows how or where the devastation will end! In the present struggle of parties for ascendancy, few seem sufficiently to reflect, that, by our disunion, the national existence is endangered. The old and excellent maxim, "United we stand; divided we fall," was at once the advice, the watchword, and the guide of our fathers; their adherence to it gave them success in every laudable enterprize; but their children, wiser than they, will not heed either their precept or their example. The causes of the dissolution of all ancient and modern Republics, have been repeated and dwelt upon by hundreds of our faithful essayists: from the page of history and from the records of our own times, they have portrayed a view of the whole ground that we might perceive and tremble at the consequence of republican excesses.—They have pointed to the ruins of those nations as beacons remaining to warn our citizens from pursuing a like course, and meeting a similar fate: there "are none so blind, as those who determine not to see." Many of our crazy-brained, self-interested politicians, boasting of having made three quarters of the Union proselytes to the doctrines of unrestrained liberty and perfect equality, still persevere in the way they began, endeavoring to gain converts by lying, hypocrisy, defamation, misrepresentation, and low intrigue: and it will alone be owing to the providential care of HIM who has heretofore protected us from the arm of tyranny, if they do not succeed in embroiling the country
in a civil war. No one but He can say to this overflowing spirit, "Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and there shalt thy proud waves be stayed." It would, indeed, be a happy circumstance, if a compromise could be made between the moderate and well meaning of both parties. "An union of all honest men," of whatever religious or political persuasion (and some honest there are in every society) must be the first wish of the real patriot. It is the only means by which our rights, our liberties, and our Constitutions can be saved from destruction, and our existence as an independent nation preserved. But so long as our countrymen, neglecting to profit by the examples before them, turn a deaf ear to the admonitions of the wise, drawn from the experience of ages, and persist in defaming, despising and maltreating each other, for a mere difference of political opinion; so long will the nation be rent by discordant factions; and anarchy, perhaps with its thousand plagues, will be the just reward of our folly.
But we hope for better things and better times. We cannot but believe, that the major part of our fellow citizens, when they see the approaching danger of our country, will seek a union of hands and a union of hearts, to elect and support such men as shall preserve the constitution from further innovation, shield our liberties from infringement, save our invaluable institutions from subversion, protect our commerce from piratical free-booters, rescue our property from the grasp of the rapacious leveller, suppress all party animosities, and thus "restore harmony to social intercourse."
Meanwhile, let federalists continue exemplary for forbearance, moderation, and subjection to lawful authority. Let them allow their opponents to defame their characters, misrepresent their measures, and brand them with every opprobrious name they can invent—Monarchists, Tories, Aristocrats, British Juncto, &c. "Names," we should recollect, "alter not things." The language of Billingsgate, though it may have assisted them, will never avail us. A cause that can be supported only by such dishonorable means, will not long be successful. A relation of "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," will be sufficient to insure us the final victory. Our cause is the cause of TRUTH and of sound principles; and they must ultimately triumph over error and deception. [New-England Rep.]
I have lost a day!
THIS exclamation of the emperor Titus, after the reflection that a day had passed without his doing any good action, has doubtless been seen before this time by many of my readers. What emotions it may have excited, what good resolutions confirmed, or what bad and selfish hearts reformed; what idle dissipators of time admonished, or what majority have read it with insensibility, and almost instantly forgotten it, I shall not pretend to determine. In those minds, however, which are actuated by upright principles, and alive to the feelings of nature and humanity, we may easily imagine what reflections arise on its first perusal, for it is striking and affecting. They are filled with admiration for the man, and veneration for the philanthropist. They trace in imagination the many sorrows he has mitigated and the evils he has removed; the many oppressors of the wretched vassal he has sought out and brought to deserved exposure and ignominy, and the many sources of iniquity he has had the pleasure to remove. All these they may picture to themselves with the greatest probability, for one in the situation of Titus must have had frequent opportunities of doing good. The hours thus spent must afford matter for pleasing contemplation, and the retrospect of them the most exquisite sensations. He that has passed his time in such occupations will never "review with bitterness of heart;" and though it may happen to him as to Titus, that a day may pass unprofitably away, his regret will be diminished by the remembrance that the former ones have not all been wasted, and he will also be warned to greater perseverance in good actions for the future.
There is something strikingly solemn in the reflection "that the days which are gone are gone for ever." The idea contains so impressive, so awful an admonition, that our paying so little attention to it is truly surprising. But such is human nature; the best, the wisest, the most considerate men let days and years pass away without profit, and, alas! even without pleasure. On no topic have
moralists dwelt with more earnestness, or used more persuasion to less effect. Man seems to be at total variance with that species of industry and perseverance, which would cause him rightly to employ his time. "Dulce est desipere in tempore" is delightful to play the fool, was a maxim of Horace, which will apply to mankind in a very different sense from what the poet thought of when he wrote it. Probably he alluded to those hours when mirth and jollity occupied him; when the joke was passed about, and the air resounded with laughter, and when Bacchus ruled uncontrolled; or more probably to the hours he passed with his favourite nymph. But it will also apply to man in many situations different from those, and in many far more serious occupations; for whether wholly engaged in the pursuit of money, when possessed of a sufficiency, or seeking after office and power, when independent, he is alike playing the fool, and wasting his time. The first degrades him, the latter places all his consequence at the disposal of those from whom he derives it, to whose opinions he must agree, though not in unison with his own, and whose commands he must execute, or risk its destruction.
So various are the methods which people take to spend their time, that it is difficult to discriminate between them, so as to form a correct idea of their propriety. Two may be engaged in the same pursuit, and the merit of either be of a very different degree. One by business obtains wealth, on which he lives with elegance and ease, and gives a part to those who are in greater want than himself. The other accumulates it, and derives his pleasure from seeing it increase without employing it for any purpose, advantageous to himself, or beneficial to others. Here indeed is time lost, and worse than lost, for he not only admits the days to pass unworthily away, but with them also goes all his better principles. Every evening when he sits down, calm reflection and sober judgment must compel him inwardly to exclaim, if not in the words of Titus, in language to that effect, "I have lost a day!" and the morning comes only to be followed by another evening, in which he may justly repeat the same exclamation.
Men are so constituted by nature, that few are calculated to pursue more than one aim with advantage. When a favourite project proposes itself to any one, he is so engrossed as to preclude a desire of starting another. He is seldom so much under the dominion of reason as to combine the "utile cum dulci," in their proper acceptation; and if we trace each human passion, from the love of pleasure, to the very opposite one of the love of money, we shall find that to each when pursued is given an undivided attention. View the man engaged in commercial concerns; his ideas and thoughts, his inclinations and conceptions of things, irresistibly turn to this point, and should ever the time arrive when the thirst for riches ceases, it seldom happens until that period of life when the mind is incapable of any mental exertion, and unable to throw off habits long fixed. The soul, narrowed and contracted by a long attention to one object, in the evening of life, when that attention in part ceases, is still governed by impulses similar to those which formerly guided it; and therefore he whose declining years are governed by sordid passions, may be said most miserably to mispend his time.
There are certain parts of a man's conduct, which, though he acknowledges they are wrong, and is convinced they are so, he does not mend, because he supposes that though they discover weakness, they do not argue depravity. He will not act dishonestly, because his character would suffer by such conduct, and his principles are too correct to permit him to do so. He will not be ungrateful or treacherous to his friends, or pursue his enemies with a rancorous spirit of revenge, for the same reasons. But he will be a prey to "many of the frailties flesh is heir to," promising to conquer them, to do which, he
Resolves, and re-resolves, then dies the same.
Among these is that lavish waste of time, which, as it adds to his years, lessens his ability to resist them. How many live as blanks in the creation, whose hours hang heavy on them, because neither dedicated to industry, to virtue, to literature, or benevolence! To such, what language can be addressed powerful enough to rouse them? By all your wishes for happiness, make better use of the time yet left you, than you did of that which has passed from you. Happy, if you must acknowledge, you have not heretofore been, for lassitude and vexa-
tion have clouded your days, and hope brightens not your future prospects.
Catch then, O! catch the transient hour, Improve each moment as it flies; Life's a short season, man's a flower, He dies, alas! how soon he dies.
DR. JOHNSON. [Literary Magazine.]
THE WIDOW TO HER INFANT, IN THE CRADLE.
Blossom of Hope! whose cherub smile Can all thy Mother's woes beguile; Sweet bud of comfort! in whose face Her sorrowing eye delights to trace, Through every feature, opening fair, An image of thy father there! Ah! gentle gem of joy unborn; Pale beam of an o'ershadow'd morn; How shall thy Mother's soul express Her hope, her fear, her soft distress, As bending o'er thy cradled form, She deprecates life's fatal storm! And prays, with all a parent's fears, For blessings on thine early years: Ah! babe belov'd! condemn'd to bloom, A flower on thy Father's tomb; Unmindful thou, that sorrow's power, Hath mark'd thee from life's earliest hour; Wreckless of many a bitter tear That flow'd upon thy Father's bier; And many a briny torrent shed Upon thine own unconscious head; Yet while thy little cheek bath prest Thy hapless Mother's throbbing breast, No tongue could urge a plea like thine To soothe a breaking heart like mine, Pour through the breast so sweet a charm, And e'en despair's fell pang disarm.

THE EXILE RETURN'D.
How blest to him condemned to toil An exile from his native shore; To hail again his genial soil, And greet his friends, and home once more!
Again, to hold in fond caress, The partner of his cares, and joy; Again, with eager arms to press The fruit of love—his darling boy!
And bear him as he wings his way, Around the cot in playful room; In lisping accents bless the day That brought his gentle father home.
To friends, to wife, to darling boy, And native land, restor'd again; Swift glide his hours on wings of joy, Nor thinks he more of former pain.
