Round her fond lover, winds her ivory arms !;
Beat, as they clasp, their throbbing hearts

And many kiss is mixed with many atear

eouuerced. The accounts Of that partner
ship from the 1st May. 1889, were settled
on that day, and balance Of 1851 dollars
then paid 70 capt. Abner M. Dunn, the bro
ther Of one of the partners. The gross a.
mount Of sales by this account appears to
be 16,441 dollars. At the foot OF it is add

By this account the balance appears to
have been paid to captain A. B. Dunn, and

On the 5th of September intbe same year,
general Wilkinson was at New Orleans,

which it appears that balance only OF 491
dollars in his favor, which was paid to No.

stated by Ballinger and Mr.. Jones to have
been taken up in this year could not have

show that the large payments were always
made either in advance to Wilkinson him
self, or to his order in favor of different
persons to whom he was indebted. This
account is signed by Wilkinson himself, and
closes the accounts of the partnership, which,
as WI have stated, was dissolved on the 9Th
of the same month. (See No. 4. In this
settlement the tobacco which is mentioned
as loose, and weight unknown, in the first
account settled Ly major. Dunn, is account
ed for, and appears to have amounted only
to 974 dollars.
Thus all the tobacco transactions up to
the 18th, September, 1889, are distinctly
placed before the public-they must OF ne

1t should also be remarked that the period

AIRY to June, after that period, except on ex-
trsordnary occasions, the accounts OF the

Prior to the dissolution Of the partnership
Mr.. Clark had sent up the river On the joint
account, boat called the Speedwell, with

This not being included in the settlement.
Wilkinson, as appears by the document be.

invest the proceeds in good tobacco, and
ship it to New Orleans On their joint &C

that when he has fulfilled this and another

BIZ MISS PORTER.
OH! grant my prayer, and let me go,
Thy toll 10 share. thy path to smooth !;
Is there want, wish, a woe,
Which welded love can fail to sooth.
At morn when sleep still seals thine eyes,
My hand thy temp'ratc meal shall spread
At night my smiles shall check thy signs,
And my fond arm support thy head.
And filthy vcxing cares should dart
Some hasty word, my zeal to chill,
Still this unchanging, tender heart,
The hasty vow made shall till.

FRANCE.
Phila3elhka, July s.

On Saturday evening arrived the brig
F.ir American, Capt. Bruce, from Dunkrk.
This vessel was taken up by MIR. Arm
strong, our minister, on permission granted
him, by Bon parte. to bring dispatches to
this country, with liberty to bring oRa large
number OF captains and other persons be-
longing to England and America, who had
been detained for some time in France. -
She sailed from Dunkirk on the 9th of May,
and the same day landed 80 or 20 passen-
gers (chiefiy women) at Dover.
BY the above gentlemen, and other pas
sengers, we learn that this vessel was taken
up, and the dispatches made out previous
to the arrival of the Mentor, from the u.
S,ates.-rhe Mentor had arrived but few
days before they sailed, and would not sail
for the United States before the middle or
latter end of June, as all communication
with B,naparte, who was in Germany, would
be tedious, as he could not receive cour-
Ter in less than six days from Paris.-sThey
also say, that considerable application was
made TO him before his departure from Pa
ris, respecting American affairs, but in
vain, as he seemed determined TO get what
he could, and keep what he got, and it is
supposed his victories in Germany will not
put him in better humor with America.
That the non-intercourse with America is
so severely felt in France that the want OF
commercial business is injuring their towns
and beggaring their inhabitants that coffee
was selling FOR a dollar per ID. and white
sugar for the same; and the produce of
France was in so little demand, that bran
dy could be purchased for 90 or SO dollars
per pipe, and vines in proportion.
Russia, Holland, Denmark and Sweden,
is was said, being in great measure, or al
together under the control of Bonap trte,
would be calei on, and n, douat, would
put IN force the French DEGREES. and seize
all goods arriving among them, that may
be even suspected of being the produce of
England or ITS dependencies. The refore it
will be madness 20 send vessels tn any of
those ports, until something is settled with
Bonaparte, as they consider ali West.India
goods IN that light.
The French had confined a nu nber Of n
merican captains in the Jail in Ounkirk, all
of whom had been liberated or made their
escape, except captain Tucker, of the
William of Newberry, and captain M
kins, who were fined 1900 dollars each, be.
sides the loss of their vessels and cargroes,
and their crews were marched to Arran,
where a great number of American seaman
are confined.
