HORACE.
The passion for making verses with
out poetry, and rhyme without reason
has not been confined to the age of
Horace. Our own times have aboun.
ded in specimens of wretched matter
and lame metre" on all possible occa-
sions. Occurrences of great national
interest are justly made subjects of po-
etick establishment Genius and taste
are never better employed than when
consecrating to immortality deeds Of
valour and patriotism. But though he
roes may be honoured and their memo.
ries rendered imperishable in the pa.
ges OF poetry, yet the awkward attempt
OF metre ballard mongers" to pillage
from the regions of fancy must excite
pity and contempt.
The recent exploits of our infant ma.
Wy and its gallant officers have called
forth illusions of genuine poetry in
some cases, and of pitiful tombstone
rhymes in others. OF this last de.
scription are some pieces lately pub
lished by ID. A. The writer is evil
IDENTITY very young, and through the
whole of his pieces betrays Incorrect
ness of taste and deficiency of iudg.
ment, joined to extreme carelessness.
Of his want of care the frequent rep.
etilions Of the same set of words and
almost whole lines, are sufficient indi--
cations. But this is not intended as a
critical review OF either of the pieces in
question their etroiirs'and defects are
TOO glaring and pa'pable to require par
ticular animsdvcrsion. The writeris
advised in future to keep his pieces by
him, until ripened judgment shall
guard him against exposing rude I'M
polished rhymes through the avenue
of the press.
Diligence and care in studying the
best models in our language may, in
time, qualify him to write verses with
out offending taste and judgment. He
is at present out an untledged poet"
and should try "sliort excursions"
What constitutes poe, may be
found in one Of the mos, beautiful tales
in our language, Rasselas, prince of
Abblsinia. In another part of The
works of the great author of that book,
we find him calling Genius" that
power which constitutes a poet that
quality without which judgment is cold
and knowledge is inert that energy
which collects, combines, amplifes,
and animates Were all poets tried
by such standards the world would not
have been inundated by such hordes

TO THE EDITORS.
Gentlemen,

Gentlemen,
An American citizen having been
ION his passage from the United States for
France) taken and carried into England,
and detained there several months under
various and some what peculiar circumstan-
ces, takes the freedom of troubling you with
a few remarks, grounded on the facts and
opinions he gained during his detention
there.
Inc great leading principle in the policy
OF the British government is to monopolize
trade, and secure and increase the Drepon-
derance of their navy. Their increased ex
pcnditures. great as they are, pass by I'M
needed, provided these two objects are Sc
cured. The nation Is, at present, absolute
" governed by the naval interest and the
London merchants and the war against
the United States will be prosecuted SO
long as it shall be for the benefit of those
two interests unless the United States can
make deep impression on some other inter-
est appertaining to that kingdom.
The manipulating class of merchants. who
really govern Great Britain, Will continue
to be pleased and gratihed with this war.
so long as the neutral trade is permitted by
the Uaited States. because that trade is ii
most exclusively owned by British mer
Chants. Two ships sailed for the u. States
from London, during my stay there, one of
which had Russian papers and Russian
master the other purported to he owned
