q Admiral Sir Home Popham, command
ing his britannia Majes4y's Naval Forces al
Jamaica, arrived on The 5tbsin,i. on board
the SybiIfrigate, Capt. Popham, and accom-
panied by the conhance brig, Capt. Mont
gomery' The Admiral took up his resi-
dence in hotel which had been prepared
for the reception dae 10 his elevated rank,
and 10 the great and magnanimous nation to
which he belongs. Our dearly beloved So
vereign has given him several audiences
The Admiral has had the honor of being adj
mitted to dine with his Majesty and the En-
glish Officers have been received at the table
of the Grand Dignitaries of the kingdom,
on the days of entertainments with his Ma
jesty gave to the Admiral at his palace in
the capital and that Of Sans-Souci
GO In visit which the Admiral made to
the Palace of Sans Souci, with his Officers,
his Excellency was in one OF the Kings
carriages, and the British Officers in those
of the Grand dignltaiies the latter did the
honors OF the country to each of their re.
spectiye guests, with that pcliieDess which
distinguishes The well bred man in all coun-
tries.
I" The Admiral, during his stay in our ca
pital, visited the Academy, the National
Schools, and other public establishments,
with that penetration which characteristics
the enlightened and intelligent Statesman,
and that phlahthropic mind with whichhe
is animated,
NM the British Officers were present
at the parades of the Royal Military House,
hold, and witnessed the various evolutions,
commanded in person, by bis Royal High
ness the Prince Royal.
"We have 10 regret, that the deep
mourning which the Admiral and his officers
wore, for the ever-to-be- lamented loss OF
their dearly beloved Sovereign George Ill,
did not permit them to participate in the "a
musements and fetes, which would other
wise have been given them. This circunn-
stance cesssrily deprived US Of an opror-
tunity of manifesting more striking proofs of
the pleasure which we felt at the presence
of officers of nation which has given in
stances of its good will towards the Hay
tians."

SOCIETY

mutual kindness il sottens asperity, and
by emulation it promotes virtse. Tile
heart of man created for delight would
pine in lassitude, or grow sour with
misantIrrophy, if we were deprived Of
social intercourse. Our primeval pa

a new world, and the charms of a Para.
disc found himself not completely blest,
till Heaven sent its last best gift on
earth, companion to raise him to the
summit of felicity. | know not which

racters pervert the blessings bestowed
by Providence for the alienation of hu

Sir William Blackstone has collated and

Surely the Declaration of American hide

decorations of art as the Magma Charta of
England and if the fac-simles of the sig
