Tethe reader Of taste and sensibility the
following beautiful stanzas will be very ac-
ceptable--They were written by Young
gentleman of Dumfries on the death of his
wife, to whom he had been married but a
short time--They discover superior pow
ers OF fancy, and appear to be dictated by
the tenderest pathos of the hcart--while
they pursue the train Of natural emotion
and express the feelings ola bosom bleed
ipg with anguish, they, at the same time
exhibit the consultations Of real sorrow:
Near yonder hillock where clustering
boughs intertwinc,
And sadden with shade the green turf
underneath,
The form of my Fannyis laid in its shrine
And her dwelling is low in the chamber
of Death.
Beneath yondcr heap of upsculptured clay
Lies all that Perfection to Beauty e'er
gave,
And the form that was once as respondent
as day
Is breathless and cold in the lap of the
grave.
In that very spot, yes. how oft 1 have
The bright beam of genius enthron'd in
her eye,
And heard as together we walked on the
green,
The heaving Of soft sensibility's sigh.
Oh little thought when we gazed on the
moon
In its swane, Tho sweet emblem of life
in decline,
That the dreams Of desire should vanish so
soon,
And the morning ofhopc cease forever to
shine.
But now she is gone and the morn is DER
cast,
With the markiest shadows Of woe and
despair,
The moments of golden enjoyment are
past,
And the world is solitude, deser, and
drear.
But is there no lustre that breaks through
this gloom
No taper to cheer up this wearisom.
wild,
Yes, the rays Of religion enlighten til.
tomb,
And the wailing. ofimpioas grisfare ex
lied.
Yes, by that sweet Hope we will meet one
M again
In mansions Of pure incorruptible love.
Where dwell neither sorrow, nor weeping.
nor pain,
But all is in peace with the Father above

The Lar Of The Ocean is de Lay Of Tie
LGnd-6Ut the LGzv Of ONE Wand, is not
Ute LazV ofthe Ocean for aAofher Land.
THE Law of the Ocean is the Law of
Nations. The ocean being abody 81 water,
no Ji1tHre can be made upon it. IL cannot
be colOnlzed, nor can it be conquered, be-
cause 20 onization and conquest each sup
pose AN establishment of society, courts of
law, &c. of which, on a movable element,
there can be none. The ocean, therefore,
iron its nature, must remain a common, up
on which all nations have a right of COM
monage. This right of C mmonage is reeu
lated by certain usages found convenient,
and acquiesced in by nations. What is thus
acquiesccd in, becomes the law of nations,
aud is binding on every nation as well on land
as on the water. There are no courts of JUS
tice on the ocean Persons offending there
are brought into port for trial. When they
are brought in, they are tried in the courts
OF the land. Here the law of the ocean, or
the law OF nations, prevails: Of course. the
law OF the ocean is the law of the land, in
relation to certain offences committed on the
ocean. AS far as tie offence .extends the
right of commonages is forfeifed. and per-
sons, ships and cargoes may be scized, and
carried i'll for adjudication. Butone nation
cannot make a law that shali bind anether
nation on the ocean Without tie Consent of
that other nation. 1t mayenact laws 70 pu-
nish Grimes committed on board Us own ves-
sells on the seas; but ID eannof enact them
so as to regulate the conauct q another ma
ton. If it were other wise, there could be
no indehendeHce of natiopsAfpr independ-
ence supposes equality, ard tlsre could be
no equality where one sfaieamade laws for
another +. 1t is easy to conceive, that if one
nation arbitrarily presumes toslegislate for
another, or for all others, ~fetaliation will
be resorted 20, and this wilprod6ce fresh
retaliations-all settled ruies OF conduct
would thus be destroyed, aud the times Of
barbarism and piracy would be restored.
The British say that they give up Ameri
cans impressed by mistake, when their ma
tivity is EroUed: But they take per-
sons from American v%esseis i binder pretence
of their being British subjects, 5githoW any
hroT. Thus, the rule which they prescribe
for the Uuited States IL didefcnt from ne
rule which thsy adhere to, insomuch that
there is no reciprocity between the two ma
tions-a thing not to be toleratedby the idea
of independence. The ineqaality Of The rule
is the more absurd, because the British sal
lor, if employed at all, enters voluntarily in
