Calculation in PRINTING.

1t appears by calculation made BY
the printer of Stephens edition of Shake
spear, that every octave page Of that
work (text and notes. contains 1850
distinct pieces of metal, which in sheet
amount to 1880; the t1isplacing of
any one of which would infallibly cause
a blunder. With this curious fact
before our eyes, surely the accurate
state of our printing in general, is to be
admired.

IT'S true love with mirth elate,
The sparkling glass to circulate,
And laugh my cares away: ~
But comrades of the feast attend,
Forbear the nights in mirth to spend,
When pleasure rules the day.
For now the Spring revives the year,
And equinoctlal tempestS drear,
With March forsake the plain;
The forest breathes rich perfume,
he flowers put on their vernal bloom,
HE landscape smiles again.
The herds no more delight in stalls, 5
But Craze the mead and April calls
The pioughman to the field
The swallow leaves her watery bed,
Where long she laid, by instinct led,
From wintry snow conceal'd.
Now jocund youth delights to rove,
Each breeze inspires new life and love
While musick wakes around;
And village lads and maids are seen
10 dance by moonlight on the green,
With rustick garlands crown'd.
Iheirvows now whispering lovers plight,
Whilst evening shades, & friendly night,
The virgin blush conceals
At first abash'd the maiden shrinks,
Then on his raptur'd bosom sinks,
And all her love reveals.
Haste to my close & clus firing bowers,
And Gull wreath of choicest flowers,
To grace my Chloe's hair.
But no-the useless task decline,
Art cannot make her more divine.

And poets mount amid the stars,

MR.. ELLIOTS RESOLUTION.
The following resolution, offered
by Mr.. Elliot, being under considera-
toni
Resolved, that the Secretary of the
Treasury be directed to lay before the
House of Representatives copies of all
instructions which have been transmit
ted by him to the collectors of the re-
venue and other officers of the United
States, in relation to the execution of
the act laying an embargo upon all
ships and vessels in the ports and har-
bours of the United States, and the
several acts supplementary and additi-
onal thereto.
Mr. Elliot observed that as his sele
object was to obtain information, he
presumed no objection could be made
to the resolution.
MIR. Quincy said it certainly was
not his intention to make any obiec-
ton to the resolution; on the contrary,
he was happy that it had been brought
| AOI WdlUs Ills ulllQ ndu DtEn turned
to the same subject, and he suggested
to the gentleman from Vermont whe-
Their his resolution comprised all the
information which might be desira-
bic. Mr.. Quincy said, for himself,
he should wish to see all the instruct.
ons given, not only by the Secretary
of the Treasury but by any head oil
any department, to any civil or mi.
litary officer, touching the embargo
laws.
Mr.. Eliot said that all the object,
which he had in view would be an
swered by the resolution as it now
stood. The calling fer such a mass o
matter might delay the production o
the part which he wished immediatel,
TO obtain.
MIR. Love thought that the calm,
for these Instructions would be an as
sumption by the legislature of tn,

they had no connection. Their bust
