From tile .Ne,v York Courier.

The inefficacy Of Mr.. Clay's glorious
treaty is at length completely proved.
One day we hear of out Fishermen being
warned from the British fisheries; anO-
Their day we hear of our vessels being
boarded and searched, on Lake Erie, IN
Ia contumeIius and arbitral manner: ano-
Their day We hear that the " est Indies are
tube supplied by the Cana,las, to the total
exclusion of the United States from that
profitable commerce every day we see
that our important merchants are idle
that their ships are rottlng in the docks;
and that scarcely any thing will bear ex-
portation, while eur country is deluged
with importations from every Gqarter OF
the globe. Even Ireland, whose starved
We have been so humanity la
mentipg is sending US nctatoes and butter
to comfort US, which they sell Tout OF
kindness to us) at lower price than we
can get them for. of our own Farmers !!
Such has been our anxiety fer poor Ire
land and France. that if seems We have
neglected to take care of ourselves.
While the democrats were Boosting that
Mr.. Clay. had completely cut manoeu-
yred his hardship It Client, we foresaw
and forewarned the people, that they
were mistaken but our voices were
drowned by the cry of :" huzza for Clay !!
huzza for Adams ! a glorious treaty an
excellent treaty ~ if, Mr.. Clay had been
sent to swap horse with his Lordship.
we should have expected him to have
been too hard for him, for the kentuckians'
are very cute in that particular but as
to the making of commercial treaty, by,
man who knew nothing aud cared no
thing about commerce, we knew it would
not do
have heard some federalists exprcssl
heir surprize. that the democrats persist
IN their admiration of the treaty, although
he has beyond all doubt, ruined our COM
merce. But there i, no reason to won-l
der at all at it. The democratick admi-
nistration, have invariably opposed COM
merce, in all their measures, ard thei
treaty has fully accomplished their obi
ject. ! always looked upon Mr.. Clay asI
the most suitable negotiator in the world, |
and he has succeeded, even beyond ext
pectation, he has most " sIoriously" &C !
CONF lished the anticommercial project oil
M Jefferson. and / course the wholeI
party are applauding his treaty; & in that

we federalists, complain. that the treaty
of Client has ruined our commerce, the.
democrats say. to themselves. g 50 much
the better! the very thing we have, ali,
along, been aiming at /! glorious treaty y

commerce-mention its obvious cause &
suggest some of its consequences.
The wars in Aurope are now at an end.
The sword is sheathed. The nations rest
from the labour of bIood--of course each
power will pursue its old colonial system.
Each will exert itself 10 extend its own
commerce aud to repress that of every ri
val. France will furnish her own islands
with every thing in her power, and I'M
Iport and export FIR herself. She will
send her own vessels on tine banks, for
FISH. Her own ships will pursue the
whale where the lilly has not been un-
Hurled for near thirty wears. So of all
the other nations. What then must be
the natural effect upon us I! This is the
Important question. The answer we
think is obvious. That our commerce
must be very considerably sircumscribed
If this is the truth the sooner we know
s., and realise it, the better. The q
States will, beyond doubt, always have
2er full proportion of the commerce Of

LORD LINSEY-WOOLsEY.
Pity, my Lord, the wretched plight
VI loan Orphan, faint and weary,
Nor mouse by day, no bed by night,
ESpos'd to tempests wild and dreary.
I have no friend, have no food.
Alas know not where to wander.
But was told you folks are good,
Who roll in wealth and shine in ,randspr,
Young Gypsey, if your tale be true,
Say where your PARENTS life departed, }"
My father fell at Waterloo,
My Mother died quite broken hearted.
She sought my sire among the dead,
And fell upon his bosom CORY :
Oh If they died in Honour's bed.
My child they're-covered DER with glory ~
And what is "glory I" my good Lord,
Will it relieve the Orphans hunger;
A shelter, clothes, and food afford
Oh say--or can't live much longer
The nation, child, will see you fed,
Posterity will learn your story;
"Your parents died in Honours bed,
And they are cover'd Ger with glory,D
He said-and with an ha,ty pace
From the lone Orphan whistling parted,
The tears bedew'd her palld face,
And down she sunk, half broken hearted.
Then to her aid soldier few
Who had o'er-heard her artless story
He knew her Sire at Waterloo,
And saw him-coverd Ger with glory!
Come, Orphan, to my arms" he cried,
And shall screen thee from the weather
Close TO my side thy parents died,
And for their sake we'll lodge together.
NJ have apenson and cot,
Where thou shall live till I am hoary.
Here, wrap thee in this old watch Coat,
"'ris warmer than his Lordship's glory!
