To thee the Bard might strike, the p!ausive lay,

Thou wilt not, sir, forget thy ships disgrace,
And which the nation hopes, thouPt soon efface-..
Yes, Sir! thy planks are stand with kindred
gore.
The shades of freemen, murdered on thy deck.
Yet unappeasd glide by, and solemn beck,
To where, their white bones bleach on Henrv's

Aye blood hath sprinkled all thy ship about,
And blood alone-but blood should wash it Quit
When then, the trump of war is heard again,
Unfnl thy flag. and rush into the ...=:.-
Thy country's glory with thee floating round.

CoLLrcrsRs' BE ON YOUR cuAnp,

1t is said, that some of the american vessels
which were caught in Europe by the embar. o.,
have not since returned to this country, but have
been employed by the British merchants in CO.
vering their fraudulent trade to the ports of the
Continent Several OF these vessels have been IA
ken up for the Russian trade and no doubt on
very high and lucrative freights. The federal
papers, in their usually consistent spirit. have
made these circumstances even the themes of
new abuse against the administration But their
views have not terminated here. Gy contrasting
together the profits OF these freightirg voyages
with the expenses OF such vessels as are now en-
bargoed in our ports, they seem determines
to tempt the rapacity of our ship owners, to e.
wade our embargo and to send off an additional
number of our vessels, to aid their suffering bre-
tnren of Britain.-The following is one of those
many b.its-s P!uyibas uauna--extracted from the
Boston Centinel Of the 1ith inst

" can Vesseis are daily taken up ia make foreign
Soyages-M Many on reiShts which are calculated
to 'Toaace to vesSel Of 500 from, tzve!ve to
" thirteen thousand dollars, in three months"
These invitations, however, will really operate
against the federal cause. Though they may
tempt some honest merchant to cvade the en-
barge laws, yet they serve to animate the pcrse-
| verance OF this country by proving the great
pressure under which the trade and manufacture
OF Britain are now labouring. If the freights of
| vessel can nett between As and $4,000 6 a
year, how great must be the competition for YES
sells How strong the anxiety to get the British
manufactures to market These facts are calcu-
latec to confirm one prediction at least of the
| ends of the embargo. They serve to shew,
that the manufacturers Of Britain must severely
feel the endorsements arising from diminu-
ton of their expectations to the continent, under
! the cover oi the only neutral flag, now on the o.
cean.

IN the Resolution for REQUESTING tie Pre-
sident TO cause an enquiry 10 be MADE infc
the conduct Of Gen. Hlik1nson
CONTINUED
Mr. Bur7ceH's motion for calling on Mr.
Randolph and Mr.. Clark for Information, be-
ing yet under consideration
Mr. Randoifh conceived that some weight
was due TO the representation which had been
made to the House by the gentleman from
New-Orleans; and if that gentleman was
called upon to state what was within his
knowledge ON the subject, that means should
be afforded him to substantiate what he
might testify. it was due to the gentleman's
character that means should be afforded to
him OF supporting his oath by corroboratiye
testimony. The situation of that gentleman
was indeed as he had expressed it, extreme
ly delicate, and when they considered the
weight of evidence which might be brought
and which had indeed in part been produc-
ed, 1T must be allowed that the gentleman's
representation was entitled to the candid
consideration OF this House. Mr.. r. said he
scarcely felt himself justified, friendly as he
was to the motion, in voting for it under these
circumstances. He did not say that he should
vote against 1t; but if he voted for it, it
would be with reluctance which he had
not believed it was possible for him to have
felt on this occasion.
1t was evident to his mind, that the course
which was pursued in the year 1871, on the
subject of Gen. ST. Glars defeat, wa. the
course which ought to have been taken i'll this
instance. He should be told perhaps by the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr SMILEY
who at the same time contradiCted his argu-
ment by the vote which he was about to give,
OF the incompetency of this House, to make
the enquiry, of their usurping the powers of
the Executive, and of their Interfering with
matters which did not concern them, to the
extreme prejudice of the citizen. Was this
an ordinary case and to be measured by the
ordinary rules OF common practIces Ger
tainly not. 1t had been likened to cases of
murder OF treason. There was no similari-
ty. In cases of murder the relatives of the
deceased would always be ready to urge a
prosecution. In cases of treason, there we're
officers appointed as public accusers, and
grand jurieS, whose province and duty it was
to enquire into infractions of the civil law.
The offence charged upon this person was
not merely a military offence, but was Of a
peculiar nature--not merely as it regarded
the oct itself, but as it regarded the herson
by whom the act was committed. He would
ask gentlemen if they had ever heard in the
course OF their lives, of a court martial held
upon the conduct of commander in chief
was 1T held in the case of St. Clairf Such
court must be composed of subalte-n off
GERS, who might be induced to put the COM
mandcr out OF the way that they might mount
the ladder OF promotion, or might be 'infiu-
enced by his former military authority over

&c Political affairs seem more and more
perpiexing, daily. The reigning family OF
Portugal, are to be annihilated, and that
country annexed to this, and no doubt some
other compensation taken from this.
Z" Some private disturbances in the ROYAL
Family here, have ocCasioned two extraordi-
nary publications of the government, of which
j enclose YOU the copies. The fact is, that
the Prince of Austrias and the Prince of
Peace are sworn enemies, and of course, one
or the other must fail. With these unfortu-
nate differences the whole country is kept in
state of suspense and alarm, which, howe
YER ridiculous it may appear to foreigners,
gives temporary suspension to every kind
of business, and occasions the demands from
the interior to be very limited
