w7Ro ooR TOM.
osy winds the seas effect,
And ev'ry care and sorrow,
e ups and downs Of life reflect, j,
To warn us Of tomorrow.
Poor 2on,, while seated at his door,
He call'd the world unkind :
And sigh'd for days that now were o'er'
All pictnr'd to his mind.
His money spent-his credit fed
Such horror star'd apace,
That made him tears of pity she'd
Which mantled all his face,
A wife was Mary-sweet TO seei
Three little ones could speak,
And gaiy climb their fathers knee,
To kiss his pallid cheek.
7os,1 cast a look upon his dear,
Then turn'd himself away
While fell destruction loiter'd near,
To cloud his opening day
Amid these troubles, all in vain,
To find relief tried he
A friend advised 'twould be his gain
To try the generous sea.
The wind was up the sails were spread,
All hands were gay and CHEEKY,
Ton, lean'd against the mast ms head,
And look'd where stood his Mar.
Farewell, my wife aloud cried he,
Dry up those falling tears
leave my pratling boys with thee.
o, guard their tender years
The ship cut through the briny deep,
Once more TOM wav'd bis hand,
He saw his faithful Mary weep.
Till ocean drank the land
On golden wings the moments flew,
Devoid Of care and sorrow;
Returning near ne port he drew,
His love to meet tomorrow
! The wind yet gently ishook the sails,
TON went TO catch it hoy'ring;
\ The yard gave way. his foot did fa''
The seas his wret.hed cov'riny:
Alas poor MARY. hard's thyioti
a passing Angel said;
YET shall these orphans dek the SPOT Z
Wherein thy Tom is la
ALONZO.

had repeated conversations with an
intelligent gentleman who came paf-

be donsuwith France. Our ,leitiny
was fettled on tn: Banks of the Dam

that period, no negotiation between
the United States and France, could
even be entered upon, without firtt
agreeing, as preliminary. to come
to a rupture with England I; iomc-
times urged upon us, under pfe;ence
of uniting with France and her allies,
to reltore the jrsedsm 81 tie jsaS !. and
fome times peremptorily demanded
in direct terms. In the firit inter-
view between Hauterive and ARM

AS foon as BonaIsrte has fettled
his affairs in the north as foon as
he has concluded thai destructive

till he could hear, once more at leai,
from France, and receive his return
dispatches by the Wafp. Thofe def
patches have come, and if they are
faithful, will open his eyes to truths
he might, from little reelection,
have been perfectly convinced of,
had he only turned his eyes towards
Arltria and Spain. Thofe defpa,ch-
cs will inform the PRECEDENT that his
embafador did not even forward any
communication to the Emperor in
confequence of his lalt inlfra6tions;
becaule, Ito ufe his own expreilions
