With checks so red, and round arms bare,
And teeth SO white, and dimpled chin;
And bosom fair, and pure within;
And small straw hat so loosely tied;
And rushy basket at her side,
Quite full with berries, red and blue,
And heather buds OF many hue;
And steps as light as any ialry-

"Ifyou, sweet girl, will sc with me,
Ny little serving maid TO be,
And those soft notes you sweetly surg
Repeat them to my nursing young'
And leave these hills so bleak and wild,
To watch aud terd my darling child,
To cherish her Gonoly love,
And tenGer use, and faithful prove,
Add Ger her infant steps be wary
I'll treasure you, sweet Moorland Mary"

FROM DENMARK.

The accounts from Denmark and
Norway continue diitrefIing to our
mercantile countrymen. No circum-
aance is too ablurd to be adopted as
caufe ef detention and trial. The
59na 1f.1e certificates of the Confuls
of the Ally and Dictator of Denmark,
(France) are pronounced forgeTies,
and conffcation has enfued on this
fcandalous pretence.
A letter from an American gen
tleman i'll Gottenburg, dated, Sept
I3, informs, +" thar having touched
al Tonningen, he was refufed per-
milton TO difcharge bic cargo; the
reafon given by the Danilh officers
were, that it was to prevent the En-
gliih from fmuggling manufactured
goods into Denmark under American
colors-Yet The Engltb and Danes

Eels, There are fcveralin this port at
prefent we fpokc one direct from
Gluckitadt, for London, in company
with feveral Others bound to London.
They wear privileged mark in their

plundering Danes can violently ar
ref and condemn the unprotected
property of Americans, with whom
they are at peace, and who never

Commerce under the hag Of the ma
ton with whom they are at war, and
whole fleets now ride in DURANGO vile
in Britiih ports, without any of the
cOmpunctious Writings Of confidence.
The extent of the commerce carrying
on between England and the Baltic
States, in which Denmark flares,
may be Judged of, when we find, in

MALTA, AUG "a, 1910 A very

carried into Tunis, where she was pur-
chased by minister Of the Bey's put
under Tunisian colours and sent here.
Her former supercargo being in

sequence of some illegalily-in the con-

Among the numerous arrivals at
this port yeiterday, was the chip Ra-
dins, Capt Miller, who left Eorunna
on the 9TH of lat month.
Capt. M informs, that on the 9Th
ult. official letters were received at
Corunna, one of which he read, fla
ting that levcre battle commenced
on the 27th at Almcida and contin-
ued without intermliiion TIL the 2oyh
between the French and the Englllh
nd PortugueGe armies. The army
under the command of Lord Wei
lington was victorious. The french
were compelled to retreat, leaving
behind, in killed and prilouers, "A,
900 men. The lofs of the combined
army was comparatively lmall. The
Portuyuelc troops behaved mon gal.
lantly. The German troops were
daily deftrting from the French.
This highly interefting news we
imagine viii prove by the details, TO
be fubRancially correct. In the 6rit
place, there was every probability OF
fpeedy engagement by Lord Wei
(, liugtoo's defpatches ofthe 24th Sept.
|! the battle is ftated to have began on
the 18th and ended on the 2oth--
therefore there is in this circumitance
mot only no contradiction, bat every
,!con6rmation of the fuppofltion
| The engagement was near Aimei-
Ida the movements of the refpec
tive armies, after the fall of Almeida,
had beeu various; We believe the
Engliih mutt have concentrated iosc-
where between Guarda and Almc-
ida, along the Sierra de 14Ic5ba tn:
two armies BY accounts both from
England and OpoH0, were IN view
OF each other. CoJunna is place

were tx days elapfed after the bat

at Corunna with which place the
Englilh have kept up conGant COM
munication. A Courier Was ient
from England to Lord Wellington,
according to the lait accounts, and
was ordered TO land at Corunna,
which flows that the communica-
