From the Boston Daily Advertiser-l
Capture Of Washington.
[Concluded from our last. /

'tThis battle, by which the fate of the.
American capital was decided, began
about one O'Clock in the afternoon, and
lasted till four The loss on the part of
the English was severe, since, out of
two thirds Of the army which were en-
gagged, upwards Of five hundred men
were killed and wounded; and what rem
dered it .doubly severe was, that among
these were numbered several officers Of
rank and distinction. Colonel Thornton
who commanded the light brigade Lieut..
Colonel Wood, commanding the 18th
regiment, and Major Brown who had led
the advanced guard, were all severely
wounded and General Ross himself had
a horse shot under him. On the side of
the Americans, the slaughter was not so
great. Being in possession Of a strong
position, they were of course less expos
ed in defending, than the others in storm
ing it; and had they conducted them
selves with GOODNESS and resolution, it is
not conceivable how the day could have
been won. But the fact is, that with the
exception Of party Of sailors from the
gun-boats, under the command Of Com
modore Barney, no troops could behave
worse than they did.-The slSirmishers
were driven in as s0on as attacked; the
first line gave way without The slightest
esistance, and the left Of the main body
was broken within half an hour after il

THE CYPRESS TREE.

A SLENDER tree upon bank
In lonely beauty towers,
So dark, as if it only drank
The essence of the .thunder-showers.
When beds were at their evening song,
In thoughtful reverie,
I've mark'd the shadows deep and long,
outstretching from that cypress tree.
I've thought of oriental tombs,
OF silent cities, where
In many row the cypress glooms,
In token of despair;
And thought, beneath the evening star,
How many maiden crept
From busy life's discordant jar,
And Ger the tomb in silence wept.
l've thought, thou lonely cypress tree,
Thou hermit of the grove,
How many a heart is left like thee
In loneliness on earth to rove,
When all that charm'd the early day,
And cheer'd the youthful mind,
Have, like the sun-beams, pass'd away,
And left but clouded skies behind!
Thou vert token unto me,
Thou stem with drcary leaf,
So desolate thou scientist to be,
That earth is but a home of griefs
A few short years shall journey by,
And then thy boughs shall wave,
When tempests beat, and breezes sigh,
Above my bead, and DER my grave.

The Publisher having been employed
for upwards of twenty-eight years in exploring.
and surveying various parts of the United
States, Upper and Lower Canada, and also in
compiling and publishing Maps, which have
met with very liberal patronage and encour-
agement, is fattered with the belief that a
perseverance in his present undertaking to
promote and extend the general knowledge
and improvement of his own country, and the
adjoining provinces, will entitle him to the
confidence of the Publick, and such share of
their patronage as the merit of his labours may
deserve.

N.B.-The Author of the Map begs leave
to acqaaint his friends and the publick in gem
eral, that in his late tours through the State of
New-York and Upper Canadahe has collected,
and is delineating, from the principal Land Oh
fees, and other correct sources, all the late
Improvements and corrections that will render
this Map still more desirable, and that no pains
will be spared to make it the most useful aud
perfect Map of the State of New York and the
country it comprises.
We have examined Map of the
State of New-York, including the upper part
of the State of Pennsylvania, published by Mr..
