For shame then, tnTjolly boys, wake froni your snore',
'Turn out-and he steady

We've knock'd up Old Cu ays, our staunch Cornmodo're.

Will you dozy, while your thig ship, the Crown, is attack'd
Which heat og' the French, thou,Th by half the world back'cL
tVill.you see her insulted, and ruled fore and aft
By pirateS and fire-ships, and sharking small craft ?
Chorks-,-For shame, &c.

See the Bristol full sail, hearing down to her aid
With her unitiuja.ch flying, and rozietts display'd,
‘Vitt more• gathint ships sailing past in good style,
WMiie you gape about,. and keep jawing the, while.
Chorur—For shame,

How now, where's the helfrqsman.? why taking his rest;
But, asleep or awake he's a Jabber at best ; .
Here's Log, the lobirkl/g•Loy, struts upon deck,
Talks nonsense, and plays dirty tricks without check.

We'li:4ve true hearts enough, were their natni;Crs hilt told,
To stow all such mutinous Swabs in the hold ; .
And a broad Aide in earnest from yin. myhave lads.

Hurrah for old CURTis, our staunch Commodore!,

AMERICAN POETRY.
THE COROXACII.*

The sun shone bright, when the reveille beat,
And the warriors gathered around
A, rude lonely retreat, 'whet e a stranger slept,
In a slumber as sweet as profoUtith. • •

He slept where befell. in a dark wild dell— •
Slwrt short is ntirsoldier'sstory
" The OLD fitiFFS"t can tell, how their leader fell,
In the hour of his fame, and his glary.

They bore him with care to,a holier grave,
All the honors of war were paid him ;
His funeral stave was theNoice of the brace,
As they final o'er the spot where they laid him.

And whose is the eye that beams with a tear,
As the earth on the.cothn rattles
Is he a kinsman pear, who stands o'er the bier,
Or a comrade wh6 fonght in his' battles ?

No—:'tis not a kinsinan who mourns-o'er the dead.
And gathers a soldier's ashes !
Bat a ((tett-mit who bled—where Wellington shed
His life's hlootl from numerous gashes.

Several years since, the garrison
,of American, officers at
Plattsburgh, took up the remains of Col. WELLING'TON, and
a Lieutenant of his tegiment, who were killed at Beckman-
fown on the Pith Sept. 1814, and deposited them in the Bu-
rying ground al Plattsburg, •,,uear the. spot where the Ameri-
can and British officers, who fell on the I lth Sept. of the
same year' 'were entombed-. The funeral ceremonies were
performed by Major WouTtes corps of infantry. . Col. WEL•
LINOTOZI commanded the 3.1 Buffs, and led the advanee of
the British army through Beckmantown. • The tran4aetion in
question, so creditable to our Officers, andevineiag elevated
and refined feelings, produced the annexed, trihntiz from a

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER AT ST

lIELENA, DATED SEPT. 15.
44 We have been granted permission by- the
Governor to visit the interior : have been'throug
the 'Ex-Elm:Eames residence at -Longwodd, and'
have had the gratification of Seein,g
though at a considerable distance*,,perhaps- 300
yards; of •course I can speak to nothing-hut his
dress, which is that of the Legion o-f go:lour.
His house consists of one floor, and contains 57
apartments; seven of which form his-oWns suite,
billiard-room, drawing and dining-rOorns,:liheary,
bedchamber, dressing-room, and bathing aPart-
nient, finished in a most: superb style. 'Count
Moutholon occupies the other principal-suite, the
same in
.number, but inferior in magnificenc'e.
His Surgeon occupies the right, and his priest
the left wings ; they each have four hat Some
apartments. These are -all-in the front: Tin:
building forms, a square ; the other three:tides
are appropriated to his domestics. - In the centre
of the area is a pond of water, containing gold
and silver fishes. Bertrand lives at the distance
of a hundred paces from him; 'bet there
.is a
private walk,- overgrown with shrubbery by
which they can pass at any time, unobserv-
ed. A plain of about- twelve acres adjacent
to the residence, covered with trees, gives .the
name of Longwood. Plantation "House,' the
dwelling of his Excellency Lieut.-Gen. Sir Hud-
son Lowe, 'is next In note, and 'is certainly
preferable to any part of the island. I have
seen him -frequently ;- he- is-universally spoken
well of here, thoulli veiy-Agld in 'the execution
of his duty-. We have rode all over the
island; and in bare,- ilake'd, sterile appearance,
it far exceeds- the 'Worst part of Scotlan4 The
climate is-most gettioti, but-the soil is scanty. This
is the wit:ter-season here, and the thermometer in
the sun after mid=da.y ranges frorntiO to 94rde-
grees of ,Fahrenheit. Rats and bugs are so
abundant here, they-seem quite at home,: land go
about like geese upon a common," Szc.
