on Wednesday last from Gion, Ga the north
ofSpain, * the province of Asturias) which
he left the 10Th of August. When he sailed
great rejoicings were held at Oviedo, the
capital of the province, on account of the
supposed possession (Which our later &C,
counts shew not to be true) of Madrid on
the 18th, by the combined armies. Persons
recently from St. Andero, St. Sebastian's
and Bilboa, said. that all he Americans in
those ports had been taken up and impri
soned by the French that at ST. Anderc
they had once been released through the i'm
huence of Madam O'BrieD, but were again
imprisoned. 1t was stated, that the French
had only 1000 troops in St Andero, and only
as many hundred in Bihoa that the Spa
nish lines extended to the former place, and
that the Spaniards expected shortly to re-
gain possession of it, as well as Of Biboa.

bRO NAL Ode.
The varying beauties Of the changeful year,
BY many a happy poet has been sung,
Spring, summer, autumn, elevate and cheer,
And furnish charms to grace his warbling
tongue.
But who can paint ike nature" who can
tell.
Heavens kind designs to further human
good
For peace and plenty with its fayorite dwell,
And numerous blessings round their paths
are strew'd.
Each season yields some new delight to man,
Some pleasing novelty in each has birth 3;
He witnesses in each wise natures plan,
To warm, to fertilize and bless the earth.
Spring first advances, gaily drcss'd in flowers
Then ruddy summers sun-Lurnt face APP
pears;
Next glorious autumn with his ripcn'd stores,
Then winter, parent of thousand fears.
Oft have those opening beauties of the spring
The numerous joys the summer months
:. display,
And all the plenteous fruitage autumn brings
Grac'd the gay poets sweetly warbled lay.
While winter, cloth'1 in terrors & in storms,
If sung at all, is sung on trembling Tyre,
Is thought the scheme of nature TO deform,
And waste her beauties in its whitening
ire.
Yet though gay nature cease while to bloom
And all the others seasons charms are
fed,
Although the chilling air breathe no per-
fume,
And Flora's smiling progeny be dead.
Still there are joys the wint'ry scene to cheer,
Though storms our peaceful tenement as
sail
Content and social bliss inhabit there,
While health is waited on the bracing gale.
Though the bright orb of day in clouds re-
tire,
In learning's page the stud;ous still may
find,
Around the blazing hearth's all cheering FIRE,
The more exalted pleasures OF the mind.
And calm content, fair virtues favorite child,
Opening its soothing solace in the breast,
Can on the face of winter light smile,
And the drear season of its gloom divest.
Let then the storm its threatning efforts try,
And spread its desoiating fury round
The good man lifts to heaven his patient eye,
Nor anxious fears his tranquil bosom
wounds
For placid conscience smiles upon his days,
And tunes his heart to gratitude and praise.

But if the actions of Kings and ENJOYS
are to be investigated before nation will
consent to treat with them, we are bound to
take up the gauntlet thrown by French ennis
saries. Grant that the King of England is
fool ; grant that he is s a lame and super

that old age has brought on second child

not woighsisr objections be found to treating
with the emperor of France. Let us look
int his life, and scrutinize his, imperial &C.
tons. Its task from which the heart
turns with loathing and disgust, but it must
be performed. AS the critical moment ap-
proaches when the final question will be put
to the people, whether they will remain free
and defend their rights, or become the vas-
sails of Napoleon, 1t becomes OF infinite inn
portance for the people to be acquainted with
the character of their intended master before
they enter into his service. There IS sort
of discretion, even among slaves by birth, to
examine and-enquire into the character of a
man before they select him as MASTER
Ifbut choice Of calamities is left us, we
