Eeonomy.-We observed that Mr. Pink
ney has returned from Russia, with ms health
much imtroUed. This gentleman was sent
out as minister 10 Russia and Naples, with
an OUTFIT of nine thousand dollars at each
court, and nine thousand dollars per annum.
But it was we'll understood at Washington,
that Mr.. Pinkney would not remian in Rus
sia more than one year, and that the agency
at Naples, was mere farce In short. it
was we'll known, that the appointment
seemed to be made. to enable Mr.. PiHkney
to take the tour of Europe, at the public ex-
pense. He consequently crossed the con-
tinent from Italy to St. Petersburgh and
to give an imposing idea Of the resources,
and re publican simplicity OF the United
States, all his suite were 6repered, and ap-
peared with nodding plumes, sashss and cp-
auleites. Wa are told the eouipage was

The Secretary came in this forenoon and
prorogued the Legislature to the Cd Wednes-
day Of January next.
The General Court have passed IS acts and
a great number Of resolves at their present
session; but great variety Of the most inpor-
tanf business was referred 10 the next winter
session.
Yesterday the two houses were in state OF
collision respecting the p,orogation. The
members OF the General Court particularly OF
the House were very impatient to return home
SO that many extremely important subjects
were referred TO the winter session, rendering
the time which they Ind already expended in
legislation nearly useless. The House had
directed their Pay Roll 10 be made Up inclod-
ing yesterday, and in the afternoon after they
had finished business, was sent TO the Cover
nor for his warrant. In the mean time the
Senate were debating upon several important
bills, which the House referred as soon as they
came before them. A committee then was ap-
pointed on the part of the house, to be joined
by another on the part Of the Senate, to wait
upOi OOfcTuOT duu ultilr ttct TIC
legislature bad completed the publick business
and request him TO prorogue them TO the sec
ond Wednesday of January.
The order appointing this Committee and
requesting the concurrence of the Senate had
not long laid upon the table of that body who
were engaged upon bill, when a message
was transmitted from the house to request the
Senate to join the Committee to wait upon
the Governor. This was done but after.
wards the vote was reconsidered on the ground
of the irdecorum of the message from the
house of the absurdity Of rising whilst they had
public business to transact and Of giving His
Ercellency time to read about twenty bills
which bad been transmitted to bin. The
Senate afterwards adjourned to mine o'clock
TO day-but no business requiring concur
rent vote was transacted. The adjournment
took place at about half past 10 o'clock.

LINES on the recent designation Of .Hessrs PAR
SONS and FISK, as Missionaries to Jerusalem
Where once the flowrs of Edom flung their sweets
Where meek-eyed Mercy first unveifd her face /;
Where Abram wander'd-David swept his Tyre,
And Jeremiah wept, and Daniel prayed:
Where livd, and preach'd and died, and again,
The world sole hope; and wherethe Book of books
Was handed down from heav'n there slow rove
In musefu silence, lit by lunar beam
Along the rows of willows hung with harps,
And over Zion's hill, and on the dust
Of patriarchs, and saints, and seers, and kings,
And there i sigh DER desolation's realm.
Awe chills my soul-beneath is holy gromd''-
Istop-and gaze--snd bark the Lord is gone
&c The glory is departed" Nought appears
To lift ieyotion's eye, Or warm her heart.
Bone of my bone in superstition sunk
No voice proclaims the Gospel-no sweet song
Of Zion sanctihes the breeze. The mount,
Which heard Chrst's nightly prayer, now hears the
yell
Of hungry beasts-his friends all sleep in dust;
The garden where he groan'd-his cross-his tomb
No monument denotes i'm ruin all
Those things to which the Christians soul beats
warm.
All! shall no second Paradise here rise I?
Nor second choir Of angels wing the air
Nor second star announce the rising sun
Shall the " still UOice' of God no more give force
To Boanerges' thunder Peters zeal?
Apollos' smooth ton'd eloquence mo more
Encourage Paul in winning souls TO Christ
Blend Prophecy and Providence your rays;
One blaze of light, one beam Of glory form;
Let faith, thus lumin'd climb " erceeding high"
Where once the tempted Saviour yiew'd the world
And there move slow her telescope around.
IT'S done.-Far to the West,
Where sunk from Eastern ken the gospeI-sun,
She settles motionless the golden tube
Her steady hand and fearless eye proclaim
Some rays of bursting splendour midst the gloom
She sees two youth, of glowing fearless soul,
Grid on the burnish'd panoply of Heav'n,
The destin'd pioneers to lsrael's tribes,
To call them from their wide dispersions home.
Despair away Though dark the moral night,
And chillthe blast, where milk and honey fow'd,
And where the glory subterranean lies -
Soon Palestine shall hear the potent voice;
Let there be light from chaos shall emerge
A fairer, holier, more enchanting scene
Than ever smil'd beneath Eastern sky.

Jerusalem After ages of darkness, the light
of the gospel is soon to re-illumine the shores
of Palestine"
Long hath the crescent's glittering sign
On Salem's temple shone;
Long hath Jehovah's awful shrine
Stood desolate and lone.
The tents of INDIAN tribes uublest
On Shinah's plain have spread;
The wanderers foot has rudely prest
The soil where Jesus bled
But Shiloh comes ito bless the land,
And Israel's tribes restore;
Lo. Edom, with Assyria's band,
On Cay'ry shall adore.
Fair Lebanon shall hear his voice;
And land where Jordan flows,
With Sharon's desert, shall rejoice
And blossom as the rose
No more shall Zion's daughter mourn,
Nor captive Judah sigh;
Jehovah shall her walls adorn
And bring his ransom'd nigh Il
