In the Senate Of the United States, upon the
commercial restrictions imposed by Congress
upon the English colonial trade with thi- coun-
try, which occupies SO much OF this day S
paper, is worthy OF the high and responsible
station which he fills. Full OF information,
sagacity and political forecast, his obserVa-
lions are expressed ia clear and energetic
language, and produce conviction, as soon as
read.-We cannot call to mind state-paper
of this country, which, taken altogether, is SO
wise, full, original, clear and elegant-Ihe
views of the statesman are not less extensive
Than the attachment of the patriot TO his
country, is sirong--and the sentiment OF gen.
eral respect expressed for English institutions
and the English nation--is gratihed by those
arguments which place her IN the wrong as TO
the particular measures which she has direc-
ted against the trade of the United States.
We think fit were published as Pamphlet,
it would be generally reaG-and produce in
portant results, by informing the minds and
rectifying the opinions of the inhabitants,
both Of this country and Great Britain.

On Wednesday the 18th, the Portland .artil-

sary. Their appearance was truly martial, their
target firing close. After visiting the town and
spending the forenoon in exercising and in ex-
perinental gunnery, they partook Of an elegant
dinner at Capt. MooDy's. The toasts were ma
tional, the day was not forgotten Bunker Hill,
and the so lately traduced hero of it were re-
membered. We are truly gratifed TO see this
company adding to its numbers, and improving
in discipline.

MISCELLANEOUS.

.anecdOte Of CurTaa.-When Currau
was called to the bar, he was without
friends, without connexions, without for.
tune-conscious OF talents far above the
mob by which he was eibowed, and cursed
with sensibility which rendered him pam
fully alive to the notifications he was
fated to experience. Those who have
risen to professional emineuce, and recol.
lect the impedimeuts of such commence
ment-the neglect abroad---the poverty
perhaps at home-the frowns OF rivalry
the fears of friendship--the sneer at the
first essay-the prophecy that it will be
the Neutrality-suspicious. as to present
forebodings as to the future--somc who are
established endeayouring to crush th,
chance Of competition, and some who have
failed anxlous for the wretched consolation
of companionship-those who recollecl
the comforts Of such an apprenticeship,
may duly appreciate poor Curran's sina-
tion. After toiling for very inadequate
recompence at the sessions at Cork, and
wearing, as he said himself, his teeth al
most to their stumps, he proceeded to the
metropolis, taking for his wife and young
children, a miserable lodging upon Hog
hill. Term after term, without either
profit or professional reputation, he paced
the hall of the Four Courts. Yet ev. u
thus he was not altogether undistinguished.
II his pocket was not heavy, his hear,
was light; he was young and ardent
buoyed up not less by the consciousness
Of what he felt within, than by the en-
couragiDg comparison with those who were
successful around him. and he took his
station among the crowd Of idIers, whom
he amused by his wit or amazed by his
eloquence. Many even who had emerged
from the crowd, did aot disdain occa.
sionally to CLEAN from his conversation thu
rich and varied treasures, which he die
not fail to squander with the most unspar.

WERE not the sinful Mary's tears
An offering worthy Heaven,
When DER the faults of former years
She wept-and was forgiven p
When. bringing every balmy sweet
Her day of luxury stor'd,
She DER her SAvIoUR's hallowed feet
The precious perfume pour'd -
And wip'd them with that golden hair,
Where once the diamond shone,
Though now those gems Of grief we're there,
Which shine for God alone
Were not those sweets. so humbIy she'd
That hair-those weeping eyes
And the sunk heart, that iny bled--
Heayn's noblest sacrifice?
Thou that hast slept in errors sleep,
Oh! would'st thou wake in heaven,
Like Mary kneei, ike Mary weep,
Love much"s-and be forgiven
" Her sins, which are many, are forgiven, fc
she loved much."-Luke vii. AZ.

POETRY.
VERSES

Uorthy Of a place not only IN the poets corner,
but also an epery huBidn heart.
An ye! who meet stern winters frown,
Upheld by Fortunes powerful hand,
Who see the chilling snow come down,
With all her comforts at command.
. think of their less happy doom,
Whom Poverty's sharp woes assail
No sparkling fire, no cheerful room,
Revive their cheek, cold, sunk and pale.
Deep howls the wind the pelting rain
Drips thro' the SHATTERED easement cold
While the sad mothers arms contain
Her infants shivering in their fold.
In vain they raise their piteous cry,
And plead, at hungry natures call;
Their only food mothers sigh.
Their only warmth the tears that fall
Strech'd on his miserable bed,
The wretched father sinks in grief:
Pale sickness rests upon his head,
And only hopes from death relief.
The parents tender mourRful eyes,
Ningle their faint and humid beams;
Fresh woes from retrospection rise,
Fresh source from mem'ry's fountain streams
Orch the transports might be thine,
To soothe their suff'rings into peace!
To bid the sun of comfort shine,
And wants oppressive empire cease!
To see the glow of health return,
Re-animate their faded cheek,
LIES feeble spark, re-kindled, burn,
And give-what language cannot speak
On Fancy's pinion oft roam,
With Pity, partner of my fight,
Forget while that grief's my own,
And taste soothing sweet delight.
Forget the many poignant woes,
That weigh this dropping form to earth,
Where restless sorrow hopes repose,
'Scap'd from the ills which gave it BIRTH
o! ye embark'd for pleasures shore,
Restrain awhile the luttering sail
At PHYS call, retard the oar,
Nor let her plaintive pleadings fail

Dean SwJt.-Wits, jokers and satirists,
are more peevish and susceptible of prov
ocation, more resentful, and at the same
time more afraid of attack of the same
kind they deal out to others, than any
description of characters whatever. Dean
Swift, who never abstained from wounding
the feelings of others with his caustic wit,
entirely Abandoned his temper OIL receiy-
ing the least retoFt-even an accidental
one. OF this distortion OF temper, and
weakness of mind number of curious
instances are recorded by his bes, biogra-
pliers. He was in habit of eating apple
sauce with roasted duck which being
perceived one day by a thick skulled
gentleman, who dined one day at the ia
bic with him, at the house of a gentleman
in Cork, the latter (meaning nothing more
than the words literally implied) exclaim-
ed, 6 why, Mr.. Dean, you eat your duck
like goose" Upon which Swift, in a
rage bounced up from the table and LEFT
he house.-But still more ridiculous
instance is this: One day, riding out nea.
Dublin, he saw girl with her wheel, sit
ting at the door of low ale house, spin
ming flax. Being thirsty, he rode up To
her, and by way of pleasantly said, " MY
pretty spinster, do you spin ale here p
Z" Yes, sir, (she replied) as much as
would make you reel" This was too
much for the Dean; he turned round his
horse, and calling her pert young slut,
rode off in passion.
