SATURDAY MORNING, JUNE /.

NO person can have failed to notice the Gu
r1oas tone which the National Intelligencer
has assumed of late. "NVe assert (says he,
In his paper of Thursday that it may conf
IDENTITY be expected by our naval commanders,
that In supporting the dignity of our flag, they
VIII be rewarded with the applause of the
American government and nation.'' Where
was the necessity for such declaration -
Was there ever a time when our naval com
manders, ill supporting the dignity of their
hag, did not receive the applause of their
countrymen Does not every American feel
pride In contemplating the gallant exploits
OF Truxtun, Preble, and others? Yes; and
the rich harvest of glory which they acquired
will not soon be forgotten. What, then, are
we to gather from such declarations in the In
tellgencer,? Some time ago we were told
that our naval commanders had received in
structions not to submit to insult; as if there
could have been the smallest possible occasion
for issuing instructions of this nature; as if
any oft!cer III the American navy zvouia sub
init to an insult. No; the administration wish
to say---something else; more is meant than
meets the ear they would not betray such
uncommon anxiety at this particular crisis to
urge our officers to do merely what their
sense of duty, and their feelings of honor,
would and do compel them to perform These
hints are therefore thrown out, the wishes of
the government are thus expressed, in as plain
language as they can yet venture to convey
them. They cannot be misunderstood.
A report was current at Philadelphia a
few days ago, of All engagement having
taken pAce between Decatur and Bri-

The Gretrd Green PdrSoz. Thursday
ST might died, at Cretna Green, aged ~,
JosEPH PAISLEY, the Greina Green Par
son. He was born at Cerkandrew upon
Esk, in Cumberland, and early IN life was
oound an appre ntice to a tobacconisl !;
which vocation requiring sobriety and atten
ton, iii accorded with The lax disposition Of
Paisley. He soon left this trade to follow
the employment of a fisherman, and he was
allowed by his contemporaries, from his I'm.
common strength and agility, to be. the
most expert man in the use OF the lister,
for the destruction of salmon, of any that we
have heard OF, and endured every kind OF
fatigue more than any other man. His con-
versation never turned upon religious sub.
lects his deligt was IN talking OF Juvenile
feats of activity, hnd about b,aHdy, and the
immense quantities he could have drank OF
that slinuiant without feeling the smallest
etfects from ntozication. He was accus-
toned to relate, IN The presence OF concuring
witnesses, that he frequently swallowed 4
Mt Of unadulterated brandy al one drAught.
he lwelt w III complaceEcy on celebrated
achievement Of which he shared the glory
ofs great brother drinker they consumed,
without any assistance whatever, no less.
than ten gallons of brandy in three days
This Man could never have gained ceIebri-
y, had It not been for the eu!pable facility
With which marriages are celebrated in
Scotland; for more unpublished and rough
man in his manners we never conyersed
with, and his conversation was always mix
ed with obscenity and grossnsss.

ODE ON lows.

ODE On LOVE.
WHEN throng'd round Afysic's magic
cell"
The frantic passions rung her she'll;
AS the discordant sounds increase,
She telt her soul indignant move,
She wav'd her hand, and babe them cease,
Then lent her fav'rite Tyre to LOVE.
The smiling child quick snstcrdthe treasure
And tun d Il TO an heavily ne asute-
Hark even Music he excels.
AS he explores the warbiing strings
her ,hi obing heart with rapture Swels,
And each according hblc rings
His fingers stray'd DER every chord,
And as the numbers swell the breeze,
A thrilling transport they afford,
And Anguish feels nome starry ease.
With tripping step blitho JoJ advanced,
And smiPd upon the charming boy
LCOe felt ms swelling soul ENHANCED,
And sprang to meet th' emb ace Of Coy.
Away Away It's sacred ground,
For LOve and icy perform Their fairy round.
Lo JeGlou.y, whose sidelong glance,
Bids Joy begone, and sickens Love
Whose sudden, rapid, bold advance,
Her sharp and mingled feelings prove.
The lively strain she bids him change,
To measure, wild and strange.
Sullen, he stops Ills careless hand,
Now DER the Lyre regardless flings
Obedlent TO the harsh command,
he almost snaps the twanglng strings.
Till Melancholy slow approached, \
She stoOp'd, And kiss Il the raying child !:
Soon as his burning cheek she touchd,
He rais'd his eyes, and pensive snipd.
And now he touch'd the Tyre sgain
But tun'd il to softer strain
The nsmbers Iremble through the silent,
air,
And steal along the distant sftful breeze
Such piaintive notes might soothe cen
wild Despair,
Such pensiye sadness and such flowing ease
Now as biz fingers float along the strings,
Zen Muse leans the raPtur'd sounds TO
hear,
AS playful Echo with his WatbiIng rings,
There tell on Mas.c's cheek sparkling
tear.
While thus he filings his tender wailings
round,
His melting soul forgot the eehoing
strands,
The conscious chords refuse 10 yield q
sound,
The silent Tyre dropt from his feeble
hands.
As Music heard with wonder wild,
Her painting bosom own'd the child
and as she sRatch'd him TO her breast,
size thus the blooming boy addressed -
HrncefoTth together we viii rove,
I" And never, never part again,

And Leve that soflens MuSic's strain

Foreign Minutes.

Our files of London papers,
though brought down to late date,
do not furnifh any extraordinary G.
vents.
Tho mott intereltins article con-
tanned ia theic papers is, that Mr..
Pinkney had taken leave of the Bril-
tiih Regent preparatory to his imme-
diate return to the u. States that
all negotiation on the fubjea in dis
pute between the two countries had
been broken off: but that Charge
des affairs would be letr to tranfa6t
unimportant buinefs. In Parlia-
ment Mr.. PerCival had declared his
readiness to accommodate all differ
ences wirh the United States, on
the terms exprefed in the Regents
fpeeeh and that Mr. Folter would
carry to Hmerica proportions there
on which he conceived ought not to
be rejected.
The Marquis Welleiley is under
food TO have given a di6nitivc an.
fwer TO certain categorical quefions
put by the American Minilter on
the chief points in difpute the pur-
port of which anfwer we underfand
to be, that his Britanic Maielty
would not content TO abandon his
right to fearch American vehcls
merchant ones we prefume, for Bri-
tlih feamen ; nor to alter or mod
fly the exiting fyitem of blockade !;
nor to withdraw the Orders in CoGn-
Gil, till the Berlin and Milan DEGREES
were fubltancially refcinded.
Notwithstanding the repeated de-
claration thar the Milan and Berlin
DEGREES have been revoked by France,
we do not find Jingle article in our
foreign papers (which are to the nth
March) refpe Cling the reftoration Of
American property fequeftercd there
in, and which had been propolsd to
be given up on the I'd Feb. Not
only is this true, but the only official
