TO MY SEGAR.
As bards sincere would MARBLE lays,
And sing IN beauty's magic praise,
I'll tune ny humble Tyre
To thee! whose perfumes can afford
More pleasure than the miser's hoard,
Or lovers thoughts inspire.
When solitary oft I stray,
Thy fragrant fumes oft cheer my way
And waste the tedious hour;
Or when with social converse tired
Or love disdain' d my heart has fred
IT'S then ieel thy power.
Just as Thy playful smoke ascends
With varied hue, do sunshine friends
Their kindness offer gay,
Till adverse fate my hopes begaile--
Then. light as air, it floats awhile,
And vanishes away.
When round my head misfortunes lowr,
And mirth and wine have lost their pow I
To cheer my hayward heart,-
IT'S then, in strife, or health. or pain,
A faithful friend you still remain,
And sociability impart.
Blest be the man whose generous hand
First INTRODUCED thee to our land,
The brow Of care to smooth,
For oh his name should be enrolrd
With those philosophers Of old,
Who stroye l;fe's cares TO sooth.

HONOR TO MERIT.
Last Sunday was appointed by the august
national congress TO give thanks to General
San Martin for his signal services in Chill,
and for the victories of Checabuco and OF
Maipo. To the congressional hall, prepa-
red for this purpose, the Supreme Director
conducted the victorious general. with all
the corporations and chiefs Of The state
The troops were drawn up in line, from the
fort to the casas consuiares where the Con-
gress holds its meetings, and the streets
we're covered with silk Of various colors.
Curiosity and gratitude assembled the peo-
pie in the plaza de Victoria, and in the
streets, in its vicinity, through which the
General was TO pass. When the hero left
his house for the fort, he was salited with
the joyous exclamation San Martin for
ever" from thousands Of his fellow-citi-
zens every heart was melted. When he
returned in company with the Supreme Dr.
rector, the people absorbed in contempla-
ling his greatness, seemed 10 see only the
object of their gratitude and admiration
In that part of the plaza, opposite to the
casas cOnsatares, triumphal arch with four
fronts was erected. Four children repre-
ssnting as many genii, and placed at sui
table height in the corner Of the arch, strew-
ed flowers upon the heroes; beauteous mai:
dens and blooming infants We'd with each
other in scattering them upon their heads
from the balconies under which they pass
ed: a simple, but eloquent mode of mani
Testing peoples gratitude, forever desti-
ned to do honor to those beloved by their
compatrio,s. People Of these Provinces,
never forget what you owe to the hero OF
the Andes-foster a virtue to which you
are no strangers, that ofbeing grateful to
your most faithfufservants.

General Carrera's complaints, because

crimes against the state, and they also con-
fessed them. A particular account Of this
affair will speedily be published, and will
prove, incontrovertibly, not only that the
execution was just, but that General San
Martin had no share in it. San Martin even
declared to the government that ifrequired

IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS.

We have received from an a,te ntive COR
respondent in Washington, the Uolume of
Documents presented by The PRESIDENT
TO Congress, on our relations with old
Spain. They appear 10 be every thing bat
pacific. In the last of them Dow ONTs has
evidently remounied on his old stills, much
heightened and has departed still further
from that temper which makes for just ac-
commods,ion. This part has been met
with great spirit, information and eloquence
by Mr.. Secretary ADAMS in lnote which
occupies 81 octave pages closely printed
As specimen of its style and matter, We
quote few sentences.
After noticing some Of the assertions of
the Spanish Minister, particularly those in
which he intimates that the American
government does not, itself, believe in the
validity ofthe statements end arguments
used by its ministers in support of the
claims of the u. s. as asserted by them"
Mr.. ADAMS says:--
To language and sentiments such as
these, the governmental the U. s cannot
reply nor can it, without an effort, contin-
Ne at all discussion sullied by such un-
worthy and groundless imputations
On the subject of the claims of indemni-
ties for French spolia,ions within the Span

sed to admit, and has even declared they
have been settled by France the American
Secretary says -

DREADFUL EXPLOSION
One of the most melancholy and disas-

grinding house when an explosion took
place, which blew two of the men dissance

other injury than some bruises occssioned

The election in New-Hampshire has ter
minated 10 the reelection Of Gov. Plummer
without opposition. The few federalists that
voted gave their votes for various individuals,
without any concert, and, it would be conclu-
ded, with much indiffe renee to the result.
10 this state, the indifference that is mani
tested about the approaching election appears
to be with the majority. II the FIRST Monday

that now prevails, The consequences will be
disgracetul, ifnot disastrous We trust. how
ever, that the friends to The administration Of
Gov. Brooks win think il important to give
him not only a majority, but full vote.

LITERARY.

We learn that Major Noah, late Consul
Of the United States, at Tunis, is preparing
for the press an octave volume Of Travels in
England, Spain, France, and the Barbary
States, in the years 1854 and Is, TO-
gether with history of our War with Al
giers, and general view OF our relations
with the Regencies of Barbary. This work
we have no doubt will be extremely inter-
esting, particularly as it is contemplated to
embrace detailed account of the antiqui
ties of Carthage, Utica, and the surrounding
country. 1t is gratifying to perceive that
American travellers are giving to the
country the result Of their experience and
observation and their country in return is
able and willing 10 hold forth due encour-
agement. This is sure method TO estab-
lish and perpetuate literary character Of
our own. Those sketches of the Barbafy
States which were published in the Demo-
cratic Press, in the fall of 1916, and gene

FROM ST. AUGUSTINE.

A gentleman from 81. Augustine, who
left it on the 4th inst informs US that there
are not more than one hundred troops in the
fort-and that they were on half allowance,
provisions being very scarce. Our intor-
mant contradcts the report that prepare
tons were making to resist the American
troops, should they make an attack; on the
contrary, it was openly avowed that if
demand was made for its surrender by ge-
neral Jackson, the governor would give it
up! We also learn, that no vessel with
provisions and money for the garrison, had
arrived at Augustine, as was reported
few days since. A schooner with provi-
sions from Havana, bound to Augustine,
was captured near the latter port, by pa
triot privateer, in May last, the provisions
taken out and the vessel scuttled. There
were number of Americans al Augustine,
on the St. Johns, and elsewhere in the
Floridas, purchasing upland. under the ex-
pectation that the provinces would soon fall
into the possession Of the United States.
