The Senate have passed Mr.. Glles's re-
,olotion for raising the Embargo, on the
9th OF March, aud a non-intercourse with
France and England-Ayes s3-Noes 9.
The House of Representatives were en-
gagged Yesterday, principally in discussing
the bill laying additional duties on goods I'M
ported into this country. 1t was opposed,
principally on the ground that tke Secretary
Of the Treasury had recommended 1t, only
in the event OF certain measures heing Pur-
sued with regard to the belligerent NATIONS,
which had not vet been adopted-and it was
therefore improper to pass this law before
they had determined on the attitude they
|wond assume towards the offending powers.
The advocates of the law said it was ne
sessary on two grounds--6rst, On account
| Of the additional revenue it would raise,
which would be wanted in any event and
secondly, TO counteract the schemes of the
British government in sending over to this
country immense quantities OF goods in the
course Of this spring, so as TO render our
contemplated non-intercourse law of no a.
vail.

TWAS at this hour, this heavy hour,
But Yesterday, twas at this hour,
The beams of noon serenely shining,
When yielding to the fatal Power,
My sweetest Flower
Droop' d low her head her lie resigning.
l watch'd her eye-that beauteous eye,
| watch'd the SUNSET of her eye,
TIL Death Ger shadow'd every feature,
Icaught the long drawn struggling sigh,
TIE plaintive cry,
AID last deep moan Of parting nature.
Oh lovely May sweet month of May !
Twas in the merry month OF May.
That Heavn bestowed my precious treasure.
| kiss her newborn tears away
y And blessed the day,
With all a mothers pride and pleasure.
How bright my child my dearest child,
While sucking thee, my dearest Child,
The days of JOY to JOY succeeded
When Hope upon thy Angel smlld,
The winter wild
Past bowling DER my roof unheeded.
Three years my breast, my flowing breast,
Three years gave to thee my Breast
The fountain Of thy lov'd nutrition.
My bosom was thy halcyon nest,
Thy downy rest,
The haven of thy sweet trnltlon.
In Loda's bowers, her sunny bowers,
Light wreaths / weave in Loda's bowers,
For thee upon the turf reclining.
Green buds refreah'd by sunny showers
With wild wood flo Sers,
The rose and hyacintn entwinng.
But now no more, ah never more
Thy smile shall gladden. me no more!
Thy pale remains from me they sever.
To morrow--sweetest c! lid adleu,
= From mortal view,
The grave shall cover thee tor ever.
