Groupes Of Islands have been, in all
times, the rendezvous of pirates. Even
in the height of the Roman power, they
amounted, on ihe Mediterranean sea, to
upwards Of tvtntv thousand men; and
taeir extirpation constituted one of the
chief titles Of Pompey the Great to the
gratitude and admiration of his country
men. The groupes Of Islands on the
.dsiatic sea are, at this day, places Of re-
sort for pirates. The Bahama Islands
and those on the Caribbean sea are equal

of che latter Islands are small and unin-

Places, in which the freebooters may oc-

upon merchantmen navigating in those

much safety will result to the American
trade. But it may not be 80 easy task

duty of the several powers possessing the
sovereignty o. the different Islands in
question, to have the neighboring seas
occasionally secured, for the purpose of
clearing the straits and channels from the
presence Of these Sreebooters.-The Unit

bear their share of the labor and expense;
but it is not fair that the whole burden
should fall on them.

She died, but not alone; she held within

Have Gawned fair and sinless child of sin;
But closed its little being without light,
And went down TO the grave unborn, wherein

Thus liyed-thus died she; never more on her

Brief. but deghtful--such as had not staid

By the sea shore, wherein she loved to dwell

How have treated It, do not know,
Perhaps no better than they have treated me
Who have imputed such designs as show
Not what they saw, but what they wish tosee;
But if it gives them pleasure, belt so,
This is "a liberal age, and thoughts arefree:
Meantime Apollo plucks me by the ear,
And tells me to resume my story here.

Thus, this rambling, confident and be-
witching poet-aIways full Of rrsGtions-
makes no ceremony, but implies that those
who do not like him may let him alone "
Byron's power either in triaes OF in great
things, is probably more apparent in "Dcn
Juan" than in any other of his productions.
HIS minute and exquisite description OF the
costumes of Juan and Haidee-is not moro
POLITICALLY conceived, than his account OF
the inprov isu,ors bard, WHO entertains the m
with one OF the noblest invocatiOns TO the
departed spirit of Greece, We recollect to
have read for many day. TO this succeeds
one of Byron's usual dgressions; which be
thus enterruPts, but continues to digress. in
a strain OF satire upon the Lake poets.
