A blossom unfolding its exquisite RAYS.

glows,
And fairer its blush than the rich bloom

May steal it away from its fond parent

That in absence, some fortunate lover
may view it,
AndI Sigh when l think Of the beautiful

On the wings of affection hastily fly,
For what is there sweeter than fondIy to

What is dear TO the heart, what is fair to

The late change in France would be
highly beneficial to the U. States if we.
had an Administration which was deter
mined like Washington to maintain .
digniied neutrality and remain at Peace.
The great benefits of a neutral trade, and
the advantages to our country from the
immense enligrations which would take
place from every part Of Europe would
be highly beneficial. The dread of con-
scription, of the return of the continea-
tai system, of all the horrors attendant
on a renewal of hostilities on the CONT
nent; in short of all the sufferings which
they SO deeply felt from the ambition of
Bonaparte would make millions Of men
fly from Germany, Holland, Prussia and
even France itself, to seek an asylum in
a far distant land beyond the great wa
ter. But we much fear that the dominant
party have shewn such a persevering de-
termination follow the fortunes and
policy ofthei great idol and master, that
serious apprehensions will be INDUCED by
Europeans that we shall again have
the madness to fasten ourselves to his
Car.--This may damp their ardor for
emigration. Were they assured that they
should find in our rulers men who exc
Grated g wars alarns,'' and studied the
true interests and happiness Of their
