Stay awhile,
And read this Epitaph
Il yCu be generous, humane,
And ciicumsPect,
The perusal can do you To ham;

Ald teach him Co. triton
Anu Repentance.
Here rots beneath this stone
a wretch,
Who lived unhsncred, aud died
Unlamented.
In his composition was found
The poison Of the Viner the deceit VI til,
Crocodile,
Aud the uginess Of the Toad
He quarrcl!ed with yke Good; enylcd ih'
Prosperous,
And hated the Polite.
From afar he snaffd defamation
As the Nuiture blood
And preyed on the carnage Of cbaracte
with the voTacity Of
Shark.
An idler, he was in every place,
Where people would listen to detraction
and swallow talsshood.
He counted that day entirely lost
in which
He had not ruined a respectable Man,
Or traducej an acquaintance
Excited suspicion in the mind OF
the Coniding,
Or awakened distrust in the mind Of
the CredulOus.
The poor shanned him
And the social never entered his mansion:
Misfortune dreaded his scorn;
And Want icd from his malice.
Such was the whole tenor of his life
That Charity could not hide hi. moral de-
formity
With her mantle
Nor Religion hardly whisper prayer for
his forgiveness,
In her devOtions.
Justice as she passed, frowned at his
blasting tale,
And taught Honesty to ay him as a pest.

She proclaimed him to all within reach

A common Slanderer.

NORFOLK, JULY ao.-Anchored in Hansh-
ton Roads, yesterday afternoon, the u. States
ship Alert, E. r. Kennedy, Esq. commander,
81 days from GIbralter. Through the po-
Iteness of Captain Kennedy and 6ve Of the
cficcrs, who came up late last night in a pilot
boar, We are Indebted for the following infor-
motion.
TIE Alert left Mahon the----May, and
touched at Gibraltcr, whence she sailed for
the y. States on the Sd Inne, and arrived off
St, Marys on tho leth inst. since which she
has been beating on the coast, endeavoring to
make this port. She was abreast of the light
house on Monday, waiting for pilot.
The Frigate United States had sailed the
day previous for Mahon, with our Consul,
Mr.. SHALER, on board, who was no, in good
health
The Y. $. ship Erie, was behind the Rock.
Two Iodiamen, (namcs not known from
Northorn parts of the United States, we're at
Gioraiter, one Of them having on board Mr..
I. W Bain6,idge, nephew Of Commodore
Baiih'ige, who hss arrived here in the Alert
We teato with much regret, that CAPTAIN
Waiter Sfew5rt, late commander Of the Alert,
died at Mahon on the 18th of May last, the
day alter his arrival at that placc-and Lieut..
G. w. Sa0oner, of the Washington, abou,
the last ofthe same month. Lieut.. Dudley,
also had paid the debt of uausrc.
The following U. S. vessels were at Ma.
bon, when the Alert salled--The flashing.
f0n -, undei going repairs-Frgrte Conssel-
asfon, and ships Peacock and Shark. The
ofiicsrs aud crews of the squadron were in
good health--Ths friga,e u. S. or ship Z.
fic was to sail for the y. Sta,cs with des-
Patches in about q moth after the Alert.
Our informants heard nothing of the out.
tsses said to have been recsn,iy committed
on the coast of Alsiers under the sanction
'-ef the Dey.
Com. Chauncey was on the eve Of depart.
tare tor an excursion to Rome, for which
purpose A commodiovs barge was in pre-
paration.
The CieOhatra's Barge was at Gibralter--
an object Of admiration.
The Dcy of Aigisrs is placing his for.
tresses in the best order.--he is stated TO be
indefaligabIe of body, and man of quick
and accurate perceptions.

Lieu,enauts, directing them to repair TO their
respective Counties, to be ready in any EN-.

The Irish papers give q more favorable
view Of the state Of that country. The price
Of corn in the Dublin market fell on Sa,ur-
