A Mail from Hamborgh has arrived. In the
Journals received by this conveyance no allusion
it made to the subject of the reported intention
to dethrone the King of Sweden ; but private let-
ters assign the non-execution of the Treaty of
Kiel on the part of Sweden as the cause of the
existing differences between the Northern Courts.
In this Treat v, is will be recollected, provision was
made to relieve Detonark of the debts doe on ac-
count of Norway, which is now united to the
Crown of Sweden. What has hitherto prevented
the execution of this Treaty, we do not pretsnd
to know ; but we would wish rather to ascribe
the dispute to some such cave, than to believe
it possMe that a mere pretext for quarrel cell be
sought, for the purpose of providing a Throne for
the son of Gustavus, though lie be nephew to the
Emperor of All the Ritssias.

Music of Nature !—F,rnhlem of each sphere
How sweetly tranluil does my listening soul,
At dewy ev.e, thy warbling murmurs hear,
When, sooth'd to tenderness, thy measures roll :

Sometimes mare land, and now yet louder still;
Sinnet;Mes more distant, and again more near;
Waiiinz soft eoltoc=s and wlth magic OA
Swclliag the eye with a luiurious tear !

Delightful tlutteringsl—Hovering toward the sky,

Ten thousand sylphs, On lightest pinions borne,
To realms etherial on your rourMurs
And, waked to melanclolly feeling 4, mourn.
Nature's best music!—Since thy simple strain
Lulls to repose each transitory pain.

CANZONET.--Fitom THE SPANISH.)
The hours of our happiness gliding away,
A year seems a moment, and ages a day;
But Fortune converting our smiles into tears,
What au.age a diminutive moment appears
But Fortune, &c. &c.

Oh ! I,'arttine,—possesed of so fickle a name—
, Why only in this art. thug ever the same,?
Oh change!—and hid moments of pleasure move „slow,
And give eagle plumes to-the pinions of woe.
Oh change ! &c. &c.
