How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
By kindred spirits sooth'd and blest;
When CHECKS grow pale, and pulses weak,
The tongue would fain, but cannot speak,
Aud holy love embalms each sigh,
Oh! it's blissful then to die.
When Love sustains the aching head,
Which soon must rest on lowly bed;
And sees its own affianced heart,
From its frail ties with earth depart,
Oh it is more than bliss to see,
In death, Loves firm fidelity.

BEWARE OF IMPosTORsi

On the ! 9 inst. man who called him
self John CapIin, an italian. was ar
rested in this village. and committed to
prison, under what is usually termed
the .vagrant act.
He had been for some time past coli.
citing donations in this and tie at'join-
ing towns, and in the state of V.rnont
and eleewhere. and by means Of false
statement of facts, imposed upon the
administration and humanity of the
citizens. He represented that his bro
Their, together with Others, eighteen
families il, all. and all citizens Of Genoa
were in the month of January last, cast
away in vessel at Tunig, aud made
prisoners, and held in captivity, and
that it was necessary he should raise
the sum of twenty thousand dollars to
procure their liberation.
He produced, in order to substantiate
his claim, petition signed by himself,
and addressed to the Governor of Penn
s,Ivania, in which he set forth the pre-
tend d misfortunes of his friends, and
asked permission of the Governor to
go and beg, in order to raise twenty
thousand dollars to redeem them--at-
taclied to the petition is certificate
from Charles lie Brun. (who call, him
self an Interpreter of foreign langua,
gcs) that the petition is true copy Of
a French original, and there is also a
certificate in the common printed form,
under the seal OF the state of Pennsyl-
yania and signed by the Governor,
which certifes that tn said Charles
lie Brnn is an interpreter of foreign
languages. 1t does not appear that the
petition was ever shows to the Governor
Of Pennsylvania, and there is no reason
to suppose it ever was, at amy rate the
Governor makes no answer to it what
ever, and the certificate under the hand
Of the Governor, to the official charac-
ter IF LIE Brun, the interpreter, with
the seal of the state annexed, is ore
which any person might procure ironI
the Office of the secretary Of state, and
is granted as matter of course to any
person requesting it. Cape!lo, in fact,
has no paper or evidence whatever, to
she" that hc is the person he pretends
to be ; or that his story, or any part of
it, is truc-ard on his examination, it
clearly appeared, from his contradicto-
ry statements, from the papers found
by searching him, and from other cir
cumStances, that his whole story was a
forgery, and that he was an impostor,
cndeayoring to deceive and prey upon
the community, from papers in his
possession, there is no doubt he has
formerly passed by the name of Jacob
Mereti, and some reason to believe that
he also once assumed the name of Jo-
seph Dorclli.
The community ought to be upon
their guard against impositions of this
description. There has been For seve-
raj years, past regular system of this
kind pat in practice in various parts of

The brig Elizabeth, Rich, arrived at
this port on Thursday last, in 81 DAYS
from Liverpool, bringing London dates
to the 9th July, few days later than
those previously received. The most
interesting part of their contents relate to
the affairs OF the Queen. against whom
Bill Of Indictment, or according to
parliamentary phrase, a" Bill Of Pains
and Penalties," had been brought for
ward in the House of Lords, as result
ing from the Report Of the Secret Com.
mittee, appointed to examine the con-
tents Of the Green Bag" which fully
duplicates the Queen in an adulterous
connexion with menial servant, and
long course of licentious conduct. The
following are the official papers on this
intrresti,1 subject -
July 6-Pariamen.ary Proceedings.
The proceedings of the House of
Lords last night were of intense interest.
Another petition was presented from her
Majesty, praying to be heard by Coun-
sci at their Lordships' Bar the. grounds
for this application on the part Of her
Majesty were stated TO bc, that she had
various weigh,y matters touching the
Report of the Committee, which it was
of importance to have detailed in the
present stage ofproceeding. The petit
ION also expressed her Majesty's readi-
ness Immediately to defend herself a.
gainst the Report of the Committee.
The obvious and glaring irregularity
of such petition makes it wonderful
that the Queen could have been advised
to send it to the house at all. 1t was
admitted on all sides that the prayer of it
could not be granted without violating
the immemorial usages of the House,
and though Lord Holland, Earl Grey
and the Marquis of Lansdowne contend
ed that an infraction of their practice
might be conceded on an occasion like
the present, the House finally determin-
ed the contrary without division.
Lord Elenborough observed che
could not admit that the situation or
rank Of the petitioner afforded any rea-
son for departing from the original
course,--Whether petition came from
Princess or one of the lowest subjects
of the kingdom, their Lordships were
bound to act according to the principles
of equal justice. He therefore thought
that the House would best perform Its
duty by refusing to extend any facility.
in the present case, which they would
not be inclined to grant to any other per-
son in similar circumstances. He would
vote against the petition for this reason
that it asked that, which if prayed for by
another individual in the country, would
not be granted"

pains and penalties, brought in by the
Earl of Liverpool, which was read by
