ROSABELL.

(. ~ ..s
The troops were all embark'd on board;
The ships were under weigh
And loving wives, and maids ador'd,
Were weeping round the Bay.
They parted from their dearest friends,
From all their heart desires;
And RosAgELL to Heav'n commends
The Man her soul admires!
For him, she fed from soft repose,
Rsnounc'd Parents care:
He sails to crush his Country's foes
She wanders in despair
A Seraph, in an Infants frame,
Reclin' upon her arm;
And Sorrow, in the comedy Dame,
Now heightened every charm:
She thought, if Fortune had but smipd--
She thought upon her Dear
But when she look'd upon his child,
O.! then ran many tear!
Sc All who will watch thee as thou sleep'st

On board the ship resign'd to fate,s
Yet planning joys to come,
Her love, in silent sorrow, safe
Upon broken drum:
He saw her, lonely, on the beach;
He saw her on the strand
And far, far as the eye can reach,
He saw her wave her hand

Minds unaccustomcd' to economical invcstiga-
tons will be startled at these results, and may
perhaps laugh at them as visionary. But when,
on patient examination, they shall find that in
the year 300 our population will be equal to
one hundred millions, that the land in cultva-
ton will be at least four hundred millions, and
the total consumption of the American people
exceed ten thousand millions of dollars in value,
and that, consequently the British commodities
consumed here. large az they are represented,
will not surpass tv entieth part Of the aggrc-
gate consumption all astonsment will cease.
Such, then, is the proud attitude in which
she British government might have placed the
British nat on by adopting and atfnering to AUST
and liberal policy as. TO us. Had she, by the
fortune of war, have been deprived of all her
colonies, and of the vast field which she might
elsewhere have found for her enterprise, still,
possessed of our good will and custom, she
would have insured to herself the ingredients Of
steady and rapid progress in wealth, numbers
and power. By such POLICY she would have
become the permanent store-house of mankind !;
she would have conciliated the regard Of ma
ton, which will indispu.ably century hence
be the most powerful on the face of the globe I;
and she would have been the constant pacihcator
of a troubled world. How different her career
from that which she is now pursuing, and is too
llkelyto pursue in future.
Now, she is not only party TO every war in
Europe, but she is the author of many wars,
which, but for her, would never occur. Now,
the fragrant injustice with which shedespotises
on the ocean has, enlisted almost the whole world
against her, and furnished the powerful pretcxt
if no. the actual lever by which Napoleon sub
verts empires at pleasure. Now, in short, sh,
is generally looked u,on as inin1ical to the opu-
lence and power Of every maritime state, many
of which will, doubtless, seize the frs, favoura.
bic moments for retaliation and vengeance.
On the contrary, had she pursued the plain
honest, and enlightened policy we have poin,et
out, how different her present situation, and he
future prospects She would have been in tn,
enjoyment Of profound peace, unmcnaced BY
disturbance and, instead of being the instiga
tor, have been the. hcnefcent mediator of III,
differences of surrounding and distant nations
Her Justice on the ocean would have strengthen
ell her powes on that element, by uliting al
the minor powers to her, and by totally iepriv
ing the emperor of the French Of his only plau
slble argument for extending his conqucss.-
Viewed as the enlightened fricsd OF the inst epu
ience and power Of other states she would BY he
Conduct most powerfully have incuIcated the in
disputable truth, that the permanent prosperit,
and true glory in one state, however ascendan, il
power or rich in native resources, are only MA
ced on durable foundation, by respecting tn
rights and interests Of others.
