netters from Haiannah, dated the 24th of July,
lutve arrived. The warlike operations in the Pen-
insula were regarded in Cuba with the greatest
solicitude and anxiety ; but the sentiment of a
great majority of the people appearpd to be to
adhere to the Constitution, even . should the
tortes be put down. Tq that event there .was
a great, probability that.. the island of Cuba
would declare itself independent. This language
was opekkly
,held at the let sitting of the Ayuu-
timendeuto, at *high the Governor-General Vives
had taken great uMbraga,.and evinced much unea-
sittess. At this meeting the Governor was called
• e • , •l •
upon to answer explicitly whether he would sup-
port the ,constitution of .1812. His answer was
ambiguous and evasive—” that he would be true
to his oath." On the 12th of July all the regular
troops in Havannah went into quarters, and it
was understood the Governor would endeavour
to lieep ttLe island for :Spailb whatever Atte result
of the contest,..iftere..„proclarriationel bad, how-
eVer, been ,priiatety printed and circulated about
by individuals on the subject e,f the independence
of the islart4. All Was perfectly tranquil at Ha-
vannah at the date of the latest accounts.
The Statue of his. !ate Majesty GEotto.e
• ~
which, a Short time ago, was taken down .in the
Royal Exchange, was found to be so much out of
repair; that the Gresham Committee have given
orders ,to an eminent statuary to complete a cieiv
one, which will then.be put up in the same niche.
There was paid to the. City Chamberlain of
Edinburgh a few days ago, by the Trustees of thelete WIL-
LIAM RITCUIE,,Iisq., one of the Masters of the. High School
of Edinburgh, the sum of 100 griineas,_Ole intgeat of which at
live per cent. is to be applied, according.. to the will of the
donor, in the purchase of four sold or silver medals of equal
value, to be bestowed annually, in all time coming, upon the
four duces of the class in the Highf School, formerly taught by
Mr. RITCHIE, and nqw by Mr.l.l2ins4Y.
The Worshipful Company of Mercers held a
Court en Thursday, at their Hall in tne Poultry, for the elec.
tion ofMlisterfor the ensuing year, when H. Banwv.s, Esq,
an eminent, broker, was chosen to the office. The Company
afterwards sat.down tnnsirmptuous-dinner, on which occasion
three new and splendid lustres, which are said to have cost
9011 guineas, were lighted for the first time. .
A very singular fact occurred- at Manchester,
i•few days since. As Mr. Samuel Cheever was at work in the
field, his attention was arrested at tke sight of a number oftlii ng
hill fowls,--
with heeds erect and wings extended, standing
in a circular manner. On going near to ascertain the cause; he:
saw a • large black snake, of five feet ,in length, within
the circle, and his' aquaniaas 'head .elevated eight or nine:
inches above the surface of the earth, while his posterior parts
remained in a' spiral form., And so complete was the fag-•
cination, that Mr. Cheever was under the necessity of gettibg
a pole to disperse the fowls, in order to kill the snake, in
which he happily succeeded. The serpent, which had power,
over our mothsr Eve, bath power also. over the beasts of the
field and the fowls of the air.—( Arnericaa Parr.)

POETILY

~ TO THE WINDS.
.Ye viewless minstrels of the sky
I marvel not in titnes gone by

That'ye were deified :
For eitin, in this later day,
To me oft' has ',Jur pow'r, or flay,
Unearthly thoitghts supplied.

Awful your pow'r ! when by Our might
You heave the wild waves, crested white,
Like mountains in your wrath; •

Ploughing,► between them valleys deep,
Which, to the seaman rouses from sleep,
„Yawnlike Death's op'ning path !
Graceful your play! when; rounJ the bow'r
*here Beauty culls Spring's loveliest flow'r,
To wreathe her dark locks. there,
Your gentlest whispers lightly breathe, ,
The leaves between, flit round that wreath?
And stir her silken hair.

Still, thoughts-likg these are but of earth,
And you can give Car loftier biktli,
Ye come !—we know not. whace !
Ye go !—can mortals trace your flight ?.
All imperceptible to sight ;
Though audible to sense. .T:
,
the Sun,—his rise and set Weichow ; -
The Sea,—we mark its ebb and flow y.
The Moon,—her wax and vitae; .
•The Stars;—man knows their inlitrses well,
The Comets' vagrant paths can iell ;
But You his search disdain.

, •
Ye restla, homeleii, shapeless things
Who mpck all our imaginingS,
Like spirits in a dream ;
What epithet can words supply
Unto the bard who takes such high
Unmanageable theme ?

But one :—to me, when Far.cy stirs,
My thoughts, ye seem MEsst xra:
Who leave no path untrod ; •
And when, as now, at midnight's hour,
I hear your voice in all
it seems the Voicof GOD.
