ROYAL MARRIAGE BY PROXY

Among other important matters done bv
proxy by the legitimate Princes of the
present age, it is said that the Duke de L.
lnfantado will meet the Princess of Brazil
ON board her vessel before she lands in
Spain, and MARRY her in the name of his
royal master; so that she may be Queen of
Spain the moment she enters the country.
Now, to some, it may appear rather profile
NAUTICAL, whether such a marriage would
make the Princess Queen of Spain for in
whatever name the Duke may marry her
he nevertheless marries her in his own per
SON, and therefore she becomes the Ouch
ess. We propose question to casuists in
matrimony: Either this man riage, in the
name ofthe King of Spain, is false and far
cical--or it is bona .tide. Iffalse, the Prin-
cess does not become Queen of Spain, in
virtue OF the ceremony: if bona fde-she
literally. legally, and religiously, becomes
Duchess of Northumberland must be re-
sularly dirorced before she can become the
consort of Ferdinand. In point of fact in
deed the difficulty has been often Tesoired
by those legitimate monarchs whose will is
law--but in point of reason, it can never be
sanctioned. Another question-which
would the Princess prefer, the Duke, or
Ferdinand With. ? alas

Gle tor the last two OR three years. we find
that Its language. which may be considered
as expressive OF the national feelings of
England, has undergone great revolution
In relation to America. Prior t. the cap
ture OF any British vessel Of war nv our
brave tars, the Chronicle affected to under
rate and despise us as an enemy il SEEM
ed or affected to consider us as beneath Sc
rious notice, and our hostility unworthy of
any great preparations on the part of En-
gland to repel. BY degrees, the Chronicle
writer's have treated us with greater res
pect; and now, although its pages breathe
bitter and malignant resentment towards
America, obviously produced by our naval
victories over the wooden walls of old En-
gland. they speak of US as brave and for
m'dable maritime rival; they urge their
government to build and equip such frig-
ates and sloOps of war as will be match
Tor ours, to man them better, and to drill
and exercise them i'm the manner of the A.
mericans; they are even willing to be in.
structed by US. Yet, we observe, with all
their new respect for us, they persevere in
asserting the falsehoOd, that our navy never
trlumphed over theirs, without having SUI
perior force in every particular. Beat them
asWe may, Englishmen will be Englishmen
still; they will boast at the very moment
they are logged, and arrogate to themselves
national superiority in every thing. We
do not wonder, after perceiving the inces-
SAINT stream of falsehood which flows thro'
every page of the Naval Chronicle, that
the people OF England entertain unfounded
notions and preposterous prejudices against
this country, as well as ridiculous ideas of
their own superior qualities in comparison
with other nations.

WOMAN,
an the rvorlFs stage, sc. sc. sc.

When on the stage of life we first appear
As helpless babes, not knowing why we weep,
Who lulls to rest ! who wipes the falling tear,
And anxious, guards the cradle, as we sleep?
IT'S lovely Woman, to whose care we owe
Life's first delights-our first relief from woe.
When tue wild school boy scheming nought but
fun,
Draws by his pranks his fathers anger down;
Who intercedes so kindly for her son,
And dissipates at length the dreaded frown
IT'S fond Mother turns our grief to Joy,
And mildly chdes her dear repentant boy.
Our boyhood past--how joyful seems the world,
If kind fair one does our love return
But from this heighth of happiness we're hurl'd,
If without hope, our youthful bosoms burn,
For kind yes, the ardent lover signs;
Hgranted, hves-but if a no, he dies.
w.
When seeking fame, we forth to battle go
When tired of marching through the deep defle
What cheers the way what makes our bosoms
glow,
With martial ardour, and on danger smile
IT'S not fame only We dearly prize,
But smiles from beauty's lips, or tears from
beauty's eyes.
The fire of youth extnguished calm
Succeeds, and stamps with dignity his frame:
Their with ,vife, LIES dreary road to charm,
Toll seems delight, unhappiness name.
Thus lovely woman softens avery care
See her but smile, and all the world looks fair.
vi.
Slowly declining in the vale ofyears,
His helpmate still the dreary hours beguile;
With anxious care his evening age she cheers
When fietiul, sooths him with placid smile.
With love and friendship join'd, life glides a.
way;
Years seem like months, month but as day
VII.
BUT if inhelpless age, he's doomed to grieve,
his partner gone. life now no longer charms
a daughters pious care his pains relieve,
iii he expires supported in her arms
Even in Death womsn's kindness prove,
And calmly dies, sooth'd by daughters love-
