NEWFOUNDLAND.

JOI.iN'S, SEPT. B.—The ship Robert, Cap-
tain PEARSCA'r, from Liverpool fo: Moon, laden
with salt, foundered at sea on the evening of the
6th August, having sprung a leak some days pre-
vious, in a heavy gale of wind. The Captain and
crew were taken off the.wreck a short time before
she sunk, by the brig Carricks, almost, exhausted
by pumping, endeavouring to keep the ship above
water,; some. of • them were afterwards put. on
board the snow Patriot, and have arrived here.
We. -are- also .informed, that a
.ship belonging to
London, name unknown, sunk, with all hands,
id the same gale.
This morning arrived here, Capt..SF.xtov, late
of the Government brig Endeavour, belonging to
this place, which was captured last Friday oil' Cape
Chapeattrouge, in lat. 46. 12. long. 55. 17. by the
American privateer schooner Surprise, JAMES
I..ntit:s, master, of 2go tons, 10 guns, and 140
men, belonging to Baltimore, but last from Noir-
port, R. 1. which place she left on the 24th Aug.
The following is a list of the vessels'captured by
the Surprise, during a cruise of'teur days, viz.—
Schouner.Queen Charlotte, hence for Halifax—burnt.
Brig Eagle' ditto—given up.
Government brig Endeavour, from Sydney for this port, la-
.den with coal—sent to the United Stati.!s.

be4 with ruin and dry goods—sent to the United States.

ber—giren up as a cartel.
SEPT. 12.—A large convoy arrived this morning
from Bermuda, by which we learn, that in the
course of the week Mote the convoy sailed, two
tlagsof truce had been received there, from Nan-
tucket, praying to be taken under the protection
of the British Government. The passengers also
state that. Baltimore was on fire, and that New
London has been taken, but this appears to be
mere report. A vast quantity of American pro-
perty has been taken and destroyed by.our men of
war, but with little loss to the captors.
On the PRINCE REGENT'S birth-day there was
a very numerous muster, of the Militia, and the
Prince Regent's Legion, Commanded by COlMiel
WRIGHT, amounting to upwards- of 700 Men,
handsomely clothed, and in a state of discipline
which would do credit to' a regular regiment of
the line : they were reviewed by the Governor,
and inspected by Colonel GRAHAM, who Caine from
Nova Scotia for the purpose, and received the
thanks of each of then). After the review was
over, the Officers dined at an excellent dinner,
provided at Bagnal's Hotel, and the evening.con-
eluded with a splendid ball and supper at the
Governor's.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.-This morning WM.
BULL, son of 'a respectable baker, residing in
High-street,
,Bloomsbury, whilst cleaning the
front-windows of his father's shop, the ladder,
Nwing to the moisture of the flags, gave way, and,
shocking to relate, he fell upon some large spikes,
which penetrated his body so far that he %vas with
difficulty extricated. -He then ran towards Dr.
VINCENT'S, which is about 20 yards distance;
but, in the attempt, fell prostrate on his back, and
instantly expired. •

ON THE DEATH OF SIR• PETER PARKER:

BY Loa!) BYRoN.
There is a tear for all .that
A mourner o'er the humblest grave,
But nations swell the funeral cry,
And Triumph weeps above the brave.

For them is Sorrow's purest sigh ,
O'er Ocean's heaving hosoM sent ;
In vain their bones unburied be—
, All Earth becom,es their monument

Atomb is theirs on every page--
An epitaph on every tongue;—
The pre3ent hours, the future age,
For them bewail—to them belong.

For theth the voice of festal Mirth

Grows huslied—tlieir naive the only sound;
While,deep Remeinh'rance pours to Worth
,The goblets tributary round.

A theme to crowds that knew them not—
Lamented by admiring foes,—
Who would net share their glorious lot
Who would not die the 'death they chose?

And, gallant RytHER ! thus ensbrin'd
Thy life, thy fall, thy fame, shall be;
And early Valour glowing find
A nrollel in thy memory !

But there are breasts that bleed with thee,
In woe that glory cannot quell,
And shoddering hear of victory,
Where one so dear, so dauntless, fell.

Where shall they turn ro mourn thee less?

When cease to hear thy cherish'd name ?
Time cannot teach forgetfulness, , ,
'While Grief's full heart is fed by Fame.

Alas ! for them—though not for thee—
:MI cannot chuse but weep the more;
Dcep for the dead the grief nmst. be,
Who ne'er gave case to mourn before.

MAJOR SCHILL.

The exploits of the combined armies in the late
campaign have naturally thrown into shade the
services to which Germany owed her fame in for-
t►:tr wars, and might have,•under a wiser conduct,
owed her independence. But the memory of SAW
is still honoured as that of the most distinguished
and gallant partizans that all those wars produced.
As he died under the reign of Buonaparte, all pub-
lic honours would .have only drawn down ven-
geance; hut the spirit-of the people was not to be
totolly quenelmd, and the actions of this Officer
were recorded in all the more secret and safer
forms of memorial. A- pillar, in an open field
near Stralsund, bore the following inscription (in
German). The popular attention was too strongly
attracted to it, and it was shortly removed.

INSCRIPTION.
- - Who rests this nameless mound i3eneatb,
Thus rudely pird spun the heath,
Naked to wind's and water's sweep
Does here some gloomy outcast sleep?
Yet many a footstep freshly round
Marks it as lov'd—as holiest ground.

Stranger! .this mound is ail the grave
Of one who lied as live the brave,
Nurever heart's.devoted tide
More nobly poa►'d than when he diet'.
Stranger! no stone might dare to tell
His name who 011 this red spot fell.-

These steps,are steps of German men, .
That, when the Tyrant's in his den,
Come crowding round with midnight tread
To-vow their vengeance o'er the dead. _
,Dead! no that Spirit's lightning still.
Soldier ! thon seest the grave of Scut LL !
