Ii came. and has vanifh'd, Adela replied,
And ! feel tia comfort it ne'er can return;
IF wifdom attended-fufe much did befsie
Twas a period alas, that eyer muf mourn
It's morn, mera'ry tells me, tehrld me 10 tears
lis noon --but fhfiSrk- Obi ! fhrink from

lis eve, put afsal fare zeal on ny fears,
And The new year, Maria, wiki aaguih comes

Imourn--yes mourn not, for woodland or plain
Tho' Reipt Of their verdure barren and
bare,
Ere long they il revive and their beauty regain,
Their foliage and aow'lets ambroGal the air.
Nor mourn ! for Aoeks, which no longer can
range,
O'er meadows enamcll'd, nor bfowfs in the
hade,
For,nature, Gill kind, will produce foon change,
Tepid winds Will invigorate the new withef'd
blade.
Nor mourn.I, that flence inhabits the grove,
So lately poffcis'd by the innocent choir,
Whole notes were harmonious, exprcltve OF love,
Enchanting and fwect as Ceceha's Tyre.
Ahno! tits folace ] feel to my heart,
That natures whole alpect's envelop'd In
gloom
For oh! what could beauty, or muic impart,
To mind that alone is intend on the tomb!
The TREND and companion, alas, of my youth,
Who from infancy up 10 maturity led,
Asd held TO my view the bright mirror of truth,
Has forgot me alas, and lies wrspt with the
deadI
One cradle had roek'd US, one fate had puriu'd,
For DER pleafures aud forrows were ever the
fame,
Yet 6rmer than +, when the tempea blew rude,
She fill was prop TO my tott'ring frame.
When Alfred, my brother, lay Gck at his heart,
Her counfel fuRain' d him, by night and by day
An angel 10 practice, lhe aroye to impart,
A balm, for ihe knew where the MALAY lay.
Tho the Land Of mortal's denied, would fhe
cry,
Look up TO the hand ,kas was pierced while
here!
Lock up to thofe eyes, that are pleading on
high,
Which 70 often were filed, while on earth,
with tear!
Such was her prefcriptor, for Rill'd in The heart
Corohves Che jodg'd would but widen the
wound
To heal was her obje6t, he GUIDED the art,
And llne knew well the fray d were by tender-
nefs found.
And late, ali how late! did tie demon ddfpair,

Her fympathv now, can no folace impart!
And feel tn inpetious, the pitliieis torn,
Which beats without ceaiing, will freeze TO the

E'en now her cold b4fom, methinks, is as

10 rnIrde: and warfare--.hough I Go ~.
expect those who drplore tiueli.t, ;ssaiul the
sorrows of the orphans and widow, OF those
k,,'ed IN du-ls, TO be disposed to approve
OF my notions. believe that those who
covered their heads in mourning weeds
on late occasion, would exhibit The most
extravagant Joy, at the murder of 1000 hu-
man beings more virtuous, and more csti.
mable, in a naval naumachia.
Now, sir, L am not fond of murder eli.
Their in the detail of ducliing or by whole
sale 81 detest that system OF war which,
carries conviction by the murdercr's bali
or bayonet, or which determines light
and wrong, by the greater proportion Of
human carnage.
My mode OF convincing would be more
effective and not encunbered by any dam
ger OF f'lure--l would carry my arpu-
ments into the pockets of British mer-
chants, and they should become my ne
gociators.
would, sir, in short, do as was done
ny those whose virtue has immortalizcd
them, the founders of our independence
and our government-in word, sir,
would refuse admittance to British ships
and British goods until Justice should be
done us--or | would levy u triple or a
quadruple duty upon the goods of that ma
ton or of amy other nation that should
treat us with such barbarous insult and
injustice.
know, sir, that our executive has not
the authority to enforce such prohibit
on and that it rests wholly with congress.
! know what the executive can do, has
been done, in the way of remonstrance
and complaint, and that it remains with
congress at its approaching session, to car
ry into effect, those measures which were
brough forwardu under the expectation that
the remonstrances at the court of London
would be successful. see no other re,
source bu, non.importation and non.
consumption agreement-or a law by con-
gress which may operate 10 the same eff
iect.
With regard to the injuries done our
seamen-wouId it not be necessary that
some principle of retaliation should BE-
pursued.-lf an American citizen, is seiz-
ed by British ship, why should not Bri.
tish subject b. put into confinement until
the citizen rs liberated.

! onal and premeditated insult, then viii Il
be evident chat he acts under authority.
| then wilthe nation be convinced tina, Great
britain means to Try how. far she may go
without absolutely breaking friendshi D
| with America.
In due time there cannot be doubt that
me circumstances conpected with the vi
olation Of our national sovereignty by The
Can'brian, will be communicated 10 the
nation. To compel the United State, to a
coInme rcial treaty similar to Jays, we
would suppose 1t totally inadmissible.
Provisions tor Instance. can never again
be considered in any case as becomine
contIaband.
The principle OF an underlined blockade,
could not be agreed to.
The list OF contraband articles could not
be admitted on the enlarged scale that
Jays treaty had sanctioned, and the exa-
m'naiion of neutral ships, whether with or
without enemies goods, could not be al.
lowed to the fortner extent without an a.
oandonmens Of the right of free trade
But why agree TO any commercial treaty
why give up rights we ought to enjoy, as
inc inheritance OF brave people,, bound
by no Ties, but those which our independ
ence gave Us Commercial treaties are a
SORT ot cobwebs. The beiIigerent nations
are the spiders, and the neutrals are no
other than the poorunlortunate dies, which
get entangSed in the snares of admiralty
courts, &c. where their wings are clipped,
and II they escape adjudication it is more
than wha, may be expected. The Uni,ed
States should take warning from past err
rors, sand not again fall into the stiiasr's 7ve6,
Tor such the ole, treaty with Eng LAND PROV
ed to this country.
