A WISH.
By MRS. RXDcLIFFE.

ss.. BT MRS. RADCLIFFE.
Mine be the abbey's wild retreat,
With park and wood surrounded wide,
Where grass should form yerdant seat,
And field now'rs shed their scented
pride:
The abbey, where the armor'd hall
3, Should own the painted windows liEhts
The oak grown walk, where rocks should
y, call,
Returning from their evening Eight:
The river lost among the trees,
The torrent rushing down The steep,
Groves, where the summers signing
breeze
IN moonlight night might tempt to
sleep:
There, through the lawny path I'd rovey
And stop 10 catch the vista's CLEAN;
Led by the valu, youth I love,
Id watch the suns expiring beam.
OF on his arm I'd range the wood,
Or, lonely, i'll the park I'd read =.
Or frequen, seek the shaded Hood,
Rousing the young dear with my treads
And as the moon in autumn's night,
Silver'd the fallen leaves, and cast
Along our path track of light,
Wed foam, nor fear the bowling bla.s:
The leafless trees, the thick sirewn path,
May call unchecked the thinking sigh,
And the loud winds destructive wrath
May warn us that we both must die.
But then the rolling orbs above,
The starry coucave, Would proclaim,
That other worlds should see our love,
And san6tliy The glorious Nance

FEDERAL Consistevcy.-It IS strange that The te-

were so anxious TO choose him President, instead
of Mr.. JEFFsRsoN. Ever since the Republicans
had become Jealous OF Mr.. BURR's potyer, rhe
.tederakiSts have been his friends M. Ofis in
Particular, delivered as honorary an eulo giun
in the last legislatu re in praise of Mr. Bum,
as he has since given Mr.. HAMILTON. MIR.
Otis was as pathe,ic in Representing the beha-
viour of the Republicans in saspeettng tbe istc-
gritty of Mr. BURR, as he was in depioring the
fate of HAMILTON. He declared that he pre-
ferred Mr.. BURR to Mr. JEFFERSON, and that he
would have vo,ed for him as president till his
right arm fell from his shoulder, il there had
been the least prospect of efeding his election.
How inconsistent such declaimers it shews
how far party spirit influences the conduit Of n
few heated feGerGiists. II is requested. that Mr..
Otis would have his speech in the last legislature,
in honor of Mr.. Burr printed. as it would be a
proper AiRbeniis to his late EploSy.

JEROME BoNAPARTE.--A report has
been prevalent for few days, that Jerome
BoDaparTe and his lady have embarked for
HaTe on board the ship Thomas. We
are however assured, that this rumour
with respect to Jerome is certainly incor-
rect. Some obscurity attends that part
of it which relates to his youthful bride.
1t is stated on good authority, that she
was to have taken her departure in that
vessel under the protection of our ambas-
sador, and that she was to have arrived
here for that purpose, on Monday even
ing, the vessel waited till Tuesday to re-
ceive her. On Tuesday the ship sailed /;
and on the same day the young couple
came in stage coach to Elizabeth town.
At Elizabeth town point, they were re-
ceived by barge belonging to one Of the
French frigates. Whether the lady was
put on board of the vessel as she left the
harbour, or whether the ship had sailed a
few hours previous to her arrival, remains
in doubt. The latter is said to have been
the case, and that the young couple re-
turned to Philadelphia by the stage, after
short delay. on Y. fafier.

Tagnahimity, and-evyn patriotism, when

not such man possess the characteristic

When a man has attained the suprel, &c

is that man skiIful politician when he
sacrifices such an important advantage to
the childish and shameful farce of becom-

For this age of corruption, is more
extraordinary man than his rival for he
has been exalted to the climax of authori-

This exaltation he has attained without in
trigue, without shedding tie blood ofhis fcl-
