It may easily be imagined, as every nation in Eu-
rope, especially the British, has been drawing upon
this exhaussss fund of manufactured antiquities, that
the art of imitation has not grown worse, although
the real curiosites must have essentially diminished
From my own observation, can assure you, that
there more original paintings of each of the cele
brated Italian artists, pretended to bcscattered the
different cabnetsof Europe, than any ten ofthc most
Wdnstrious Of them could nave executed.
Having apretty good memory, frequently remark
CD, that had seen three or four copies of the sare
painting in different cabinets, all the proprietors Of
which claim tfe merit of having the original.
The same remark may be applied to every other
branch Of the 6ne arts and antiques especially to

MEEK child Of Heay'n---mild harbinger Of Peace.
(Tho' most in use, when troubles most increase,)
Refulgent orb---whose RAYS bengnant shine,
When earthly comforts all beside decline
Celestial HopE resume thy gentle swayi
lhail thy reign, and cheerfuly obey,
On thy blcst Anchor hangs all Efe's domain,
Thy humble rays the universe sustaini
Withdraw thy aid, e'cn happiness must fiy,
The soul must sink and emulation die .
Ger earth and skies q universal night
Our harmless schemes and fondest wishes blight
The eaSth, without thee, is a drcary space,
and life possesses not one lonely grace
Let ev'ry other blessing man can know,
IN streams eternal round our dwellings flow;
Let Heay'n an everlasting smile dispense,
And not one outward III disturb the sense;
Still, ART thot absent, all things else in vain,
But aid the gloom, and strike deeper pain
But wrap the soul in darkness worse than death,
When Fancys bugbears rise at every breath
In tcrrour rise, in boundless tcrrour reign,
With dreams of wrath and woes distract the brain,
Those dreams that some Internal pow'rs control,
And,scnd, on hov'ring pinions round the soul. . *
That way'ring human mind, (how sad to tell ,
Yet in real woe, thinks allis well
~ IT'S from within that pleasures mostly spring
Affection theBcc derives its sharpest sting;
Thence rise spontaneous, in eternal strifes
Those mentol storms that wear away our life;
Whenca, sad contention thwarts the moral plan,
And sets At savage varcnce man with man.
Yet though these passions SO badly us'd,
1t follows not they're wrong, if not abus'd-
No !--throuEh the whole, eternal wisdom glows;
More good than ill from cv'ry passion flows;
Mid blooming roses scatter'd thorns We meet,
Alike is bitter, ssveesner Of the sweet.
All pains and pleasures in the mind reside;
Thou, HorE, to future pointing, art the guide.
Not outward gloss can tranquize the thought
Mere present pleasure, of itself, is nought
It only Gains and satisfies she mind,
With prospects of futurity combin'd.
All! what avails the feast before us.spread,
If We next hour are NUMBERED with the dead
Or what is boundless wealth this moment gain'd,
If in gloomy dungeon next we're chain'dl
IT'S IIopE Of future points the soul to peace,
When hfe improves, or mortal troubles cease;
That bids us trust that better days will come,
Or orbrghter prospects rise beyond the tomb.

7HE MOTHER no HER CHILD.

Welcome, thou little dimpled stranger,
O! welcome to my fond embrace;
Thou sweet reward ofpain and danger,
Still let me press thy cheiub face
Dear source ofmapy mingled feeling,
How did dread, yetwish thee here ~
While hope and fear, in turn prevailing,
Sery'd bat TO render thee more dear.
How Aow'd my heart with exultation,
So late the anxious seat of care,
When first thy voice of supplicaton
Stole swectly on thy mothers ear.
What words could speak the bright emotion
That sparkled in thy fathers eye,
When to his fond paternal bosom
lie proudly press'd his darling boy!
Oh that thou may'st, sweet babe, inherit.
Each virtue to his heart most dear
His manly grace, his matchless merit,
Is stillthy doting mothers prayer.
While on the downy couch reposing,
TO watch thee is MY tender toll;
mark thy sweet blue eyes enclosing,
fondly heed thy cherab smile.
Smile on, sweet babe, unknown to sorrow;
Still brightly beam the heavenly eye;
And may the dawn Of every morrow
Shed blessings on my darling boy.

VERY ATE AND IMPORTANT
FROM EUROPE.

Last evening arrived at thisport the brig
Inca, Mezick. in IS days from the Isle of
Sylt, Denmark, which place he left on the
30th OF July. We have been favored with
a nile of Copenhagen papers down 10 the
18th July, from which we shall give transla-
tions Tomorrow.
Capt. Mez OK informs, that he had read
the French bulletin giving an account Of a
very severe engagement between the en-.
peror Napoleon and the Archduke Charles.
The French crossed the Danube oh three
b. dyes which were previously completed,
and commenced the engagement on the I'D
of July. The battle continued days sue
cessively. Fhe Archluke Charles was bad
" wounded, and lied with 40 900 men into
Bohemia, leaving go, 600 Austrians on the
field OF battle. The French stated their
own loss to be comparatively trifling. On
the 9Th OF July n armistce was concluded
for four weeks, and Bonaparte was IN pos.
session Of all the strong holds in Austria.
It was not known where the emperor of
Austria was The Russians occupied a
great part Of Gallicia, but had not formed
a junction with the French.
q few Engiish ships of war, with 500
troops on board, took possession of Cruxha-
ven the same day the battle commenced
between the French and Austrans and as
t'S'N "SIC 'lO Nfsilih AEO BPS III tilc ne'f,lz
borhood. were st,li in possession, from
whence hey carried on a great smuggling
trade vim the contrent.
Capt. NJ. had not heard any thing OF the
grand tnglish expedition sailing, or of its
destin ton.
The Danish government appear very
friendly towards American vessels arriving
in safety in Da1isn ports, ont their priya@
teers take every American vessel they come
across, whether bound TO Danish ports or
not. Their prlvateersnen, in conjunction
with corrupt judges arc complete pirates,
over whom the government EXERCISES very
little controul. These privatecrs general
ly mount from one to four guns, and with
small force are easily resisted.
Dat of one hundred American vessels SO
called, arriving in Russia, 90 had been con-
demaed.
The Inca sailed from this port immcdi.
ateiy after the raising of the cnsargo, and
arrived at Tonningen the beginning of May,
from whence she proceeded To Sylt. In
consequence Of raising the buoys, only two
Americans arrived safe at ronn,ngen with
out getting ashore and several W re lost.

Upon An investigation OF our Danish pa
pers, our translator informs us that they
contain nothing Of moment other than the
the 14th july, the day on which the paper
OF the lJ5h was put to press, the last grand
engagement was not known of at Copen-
hagen. The captain of the Inca Informs
US that it was known at the Sylt for a least
a fortnight before he sailed -he had read
the French Bulletin containing an account
of the engagement and also the terms of
the armistcc. II is more than pros ibic
that the emperor os Austria viii be redss.
