Reception oftae President in Nezv-Hampslsire.
Much disappointment and modification has been
excited By the manner in which Mr.. MONROE
was received in this State. Ne have obtained no
very particular account Of the attention paid TO
him iii Portsmouth,; we have no doubt however
from the character Of the committee, aud the tn
creasins political ibereity Of the town, that every
thing there was as il should be. But il was rea
sonably expected that something should have been
done by the civil and military authority of the
State. This would not Gully haze been proper IN
itself, but it was ID q manaer forced Upon Us as
duty. by the unanimous example Of other States.
This neglect is The more TO he reg cited account
Of Gen. Miller, the hero OF New HampsLire. who
accompanied the President, and who did not con-
ceaI The feelings Lch this neglect excited. Il is
not the President, but the State, that would have
been honoured by the attentions which might have
been paid. 1t Is said, that Gov. Pummer was
repeatedly and formally requested TO order milf
tary escort. aud that his ExcelIeucy pleaded
want of authority. In making this excise bis Ex
cellancy must have forgotten that his desire only
and not his authority was TO be expressed We
hope, for tic honoar If The STATE. thst us Excel

appearances we think ourselves jas' lied in pub

Who fell at the battle of Cornna, IN Spain. IN
1903.
Not drum was heard, nor a funeral note, Y
As his corse 70 the rampant we hurried,
Not soldier discharged his farewell shot,
Der the grave, where our hero we buried.
We buried him darkly at dead of night,
The sods With our bayonets turning:
BY the struggling moonbeafl's misty light,
And the lantern dimly burning.
No useless coffin enclosed his breast,
Not in sheet nor in shroud we bound him,
But he lay like warrior taking his rest,
With bis ma rtial cloak around him.
Few and short were the prayers we said,
And we spoke not word of sorrow,
But we stedfastly gazed on the face of the dead,
And we bitterly thought Of the morrow.
We thought, as we followed his narrow bed,
And snoothed down biz lonely pillow,
That the foe and the stranger would tread DER
bis head,
And we far away on the billow.
Lightly they'll talk of the spill that's gone,
And DER his cold ashes uphraid him.
But nothing he'll reck ifthey let him sleep on
In the grave where Brton has laid him.
But half os onr heavy task was done,
When the clock to'd the hour for retiring,
And we heard the distant random gun N
That the foe was suddenly firing
Slowly and sadly we laid him down,
From the field of his fame fresh and gorv;
We carved not line, we raised not stone,
But we left him alone with bis glory.

nothing but the top OF the bcitry IS,
seen a5ove the ruins.
The intelligence that has arrived
from the higher districts OF the Girls
ons excites the most lively fears.
Never were the SHOWS in greater guam
tity; the top, OF tho houses are no
longer seen, and some Of the roofs
have fallen in from the weight OF the
snow. Some villages, particularly in
the valley ofTavesch, are entirely IA
bandoned. A irighttul avalanche has
destroyed the village of Nderas in this
valley. BY reports from, Dissentis,
la little distant from that village, cle-
ven houses and mills, along with the
Inhabitants and. stables, have been
swallowcdup., On the 2sth, the Rec
tor and twenty-Iour other persons,
wounded, were dug out Of the rubbish
alive. Many dead bodies were like
wise found, and % persons are still
missing. Ayalanches have likewise
caused frightful disasters in the val
ley Of Dischmah. We learn likewise
fro N the canton of Uri, that at Mey-
en-, an avalanche overwhelmed two
men, and that another threatened the
village Of Real,. The passage OF
Mont St. Goihard is shut up.
Onthe 10th, an avalanche destroyed
a house at Gadmcntlral, in the pro-
Vince of Barn. The news from the
|Tyrol are equally affecting: four ava.
lianches have succeeded each other in
one place. At Nanders. the snow fill
led the whole valley to the height OF
a tower. AT Ischgel, in the Pinzgau,
|twenty-one houses were destroyed
At six leagues from Inspruck, ten per-
sons were killed. The course Of the
Inn is interrupted.
1 Msssina, March Is.
After several days of cold and Sc.
were weather, the north wind ceased
yesterday suddenly, and we began tt
,lenjoy the mild temperature of Spring
AT ten minutes before six in the even
ling, the beauty of the day was disturb
led by the violent shock Of an earth
quake. This phenomenon, which
|recals such sad remembrance a
|mongst us, though Of short duration
Twas attended with a most tremendous
luproar. The houses in this city, how
lever, have not experienced the leas
damage.

Importance Of Chemistry.

A case Of murder supposed to have
been pcrpetrated, as Lord Bacon says,
by imprisonment, has been tried in
England. The prisoner, Donall. was
the son-in-law, Of the deceased Mrs.
Downing. This lady, while drinking
tea at the house Of her son-in-law was
twice afflicted with violent complaint;
the last time put an end to her exis-
tence. The prisoner was physician.
and handed the cup supposed to con-
tain the poison, his motive for the
preparation Of the attrocious act,
would have been the fortune that he
would have enjoyed by the death Of

mach subjected to chemical analysis.

From the Telegraph Of May IL.

We learn from a gentleman passcn-
ger in the schr. Leopard, 15 days f..
St. Domingo, that on the 18th OF
April, a French frigate and a sloop Of
war, appeared off the harbor Of CapeI
Henry. They came close under fort
Picolettc, and stcercd to the lceward
evidently bound to Port au Prince, i'll
will be remembered, is under the .iu-
risdiction of general Potion. Wbether|
the appearance of this armed force in
those parts indicates some further
eyertures on the part Of the French
government to gen. Potion, time will
discover. 1t appears from Documents
published some time since, that it was
the policy of the French court to SET
Potion and Christophe at variance, for]
the purpose of proliting by the result.
If Potion could be induced to COM
mence active hostiIities, the French
might remain neuter, or join with
the strongest party, and the re-
Of the island Of st. Domingo
might be the consequence of such an
event. Our informant states that
nothing of this kind is to be appre-
hended that the rival chiefs Potion
and Christophe, hostile as they are to
each other, both hold in utter ahhor-
renee the idea of colonial seryitudc
Ito France that if sucli a measure
was contemplated either by one or
both of these rival chicltains. their
lives would pay the penalty Of such
rashness /; return to French subiu-
cation, is an idea of which the inliabi-
tants Of st. Domingo seem to enter
tain no sort "of apprehension. He
states that the rival chiefs Potion and
Christophe, have not as has been re-
ported, been engaged in active hos
tilities---the parties with the most cor
dial hate to each other, remain per-
lfectly quiet, as if mutually afraid OF
the resumption of hostilities, maintain
"A sort of growing acquiesccncc. The
court Of his ebony majesty, the en-
|peror Christophe, has all the dignit,
of form. Not even the governor car

lat his royal residence Of Sans Souci

wait the going and the return of the

The Painter and the Porter.

The following story is related in IA
Paris paper A painter who wished
Ito represent the tragical end of Milo,
|of Crofono. met in the street porter
of the most athletic form. He admit
red his colossal figure and vigorous.
muscles, and offered to him a pound
Isterlins if nc wonld stand TO him as q
model. IL was only necessary to tie
his hands and confine them with an
iron ring, in order to represent, as
well as possible, the trunk of the tree
in which Milo's hands were inprison
ed when he was devOured .. WIKI,
beasts. The porter readily consented
to the painters proposal he strip,
himself and suffered his hands TO bc
bcund.---Now, said the artist, ina.
CINE that lion is darting upon you !;
and make every effort which you
would do in such case to escape his
fury. The model threw himself into
the most violent agitation !; hut he
made too many grimaces there was
nothing natural in his frightful con-
tortions. The painter gave him fur
ther directions, but still he failed oil
producing the desired effect. AT
length he thought of the following
singular method He let loose Wig.
|orous mastiff;, which was kept in the
yard of the house, and desired him tt
seize the unfortunate captive. Thi.
excited both gesticulation and utter
ance. The efforts Of the porter thus
Il became natural, and the fury Of til,
lanimal increased in proposition as h,
, struggles were violent. The painter
in lit Of transport, seized his pencil
The patient, however. who had bee,
bitten and torn by the dog, uttere'
violent cries. Excellent Bravo ex
= claimed the artist. Continue oh
n that's admirable Finally, the sitting
or rather the torture, being at an end
the artist offered the promised saIa
fry ; but the model replied, that h
e had agreed to accept ola pound ster
/, ling for being painted, and not 70

d ia large indemnity. The affair ha
h been brought before the tribunal.
