nor solemnly assured one of the most respec-
table members of the Chamber of Commerce,
that nothing was more distant from the tbo'ts
of the king, his master, than ceding Cuba to
Great Britain. lAmsrtcdn.

SELECTED.
REMONSTRANCE TO WINTER.
F., All. why, unfeeling Winter, why
Still flags thy torpid wing?
Fly. melancholy Season, fly
And yield the year to Spring.
Spring, the young cherubim of love,
An exile in disgrace,-
Fits Ger the scene, like Noah's dove,
Nor finds resting place
When nn.the mountains azure peak,
Alights her fairy form,
Coldb.ows the wind, land dark and bleak,
Around her rolls the storm.
II to the valley she repair,
For shelter and defence,
Thy wrath pursues the mourner there,
And drives her, weeping, thence.
Che seeks the brook-the faishless brook,
OF her unmindful grown,
Feels the chill magic OF thy look,
And fingers into stone.
She woes her embryo-aowers in vain,
To rear their infant heads;
Deaf to her voice, her flowers remain
Enchanted in their beds.
In vain she bids lht trees expand
Their green luxuriant charms;
Bare in the wilderness they stand,
And stretch their whitening arms.
Her favorits birds, in feeble notes,
Lament thy long delay;
And strain their little stammering threats,
TO charm thy rage away.
All why, usurping Winter, why
Still Gags thy frozen wing
Fly, unrelenting tyrant. fly
And yield the year to Spring!
