VERY LATE FROM HAVANA.


Nv the arrival OF the Comet, Captain
CamuSell, in 2 days from Havana, We
have received our files of papers to the
18th inst. Their contents possess some
interest. The Imperial Army entered the
CITY of Mexico on the eth September.
and on the following day Regency was
appoia.ed of which lturbide was named
President, and O'Donojaa member.
La Vera Cruz had fallen into the hands
of the imperialists, and the Castle Of San
Juan de Uiioa was all that remained in
possession of the ROyalists.
Apodaca had arrived at Havana, and
shortly after, arrived his successor, No
velia. We observe no confirmation ofthe
poisining of 0'Donoju.
'Fhe Deputies sent by the Spanish gov
eminent to Buenos Ayre. had returned
TO Madrid without effecting the object of
their mission.
Madrid dates are to the 5th September.
The disturbances in Spain still continue,
and the papers speak of a counter revoiu-
ton; but We observe nothing official, moth
ing much removed from rumour and spec
ulation.

TO THE DYING YEAR.

Thou desolate and dying year!
Embiems of transitorv man,
Whose wearisome and wild career
Like thine, is bounded to span;
1t seems but as lutte day
Since nature smiled upon thy birth,
And Spring came forth in fair array,
To dance upon the joyous earth.
Sad alteration-now how lone
How vsrdurelcss is natures breast,
Where ruin makes his empire known,
I'm Autumu's yellow vesture drest;
The sprishtly bird whose carroll sweet
Broke on the breath OF early day
The Summer flowers she loved to greet
The bird--the flowers, oh where are they
Thou desolate and dying year!
Yet lovely in thy lifelessness,
AS beauty stretched upon the bier
IN deaths clay cold and dark cares;
There's loveliness in thy decay,
Which breathes which fingers round the still
Like mcmorys's mid and cheering ray
Leaning upon the night of i'll.
Yet-yet, the radiance isnot gone
Which shed richness DER the scene,
Which smiled upon the golden dawn
NVhen skies were brilliant and serene
Oh still melancholy smile
Cleans upon natures aspect fair,
To charm the eve little while
Ire ruin spreads his mantle there;
Thou desolate and dying year!
Since Time entwned thy vernal wreath,
How often love hath shed the tear
And knelt beside the bead of death:
How many hearts that lightly sprung
When iov was blooming but to die,
Their finest chords by death unstrung,
Have yielded LIES expiring sigh.
And pillowed low beneath the clay,
Have ceased to melt-to 5reathe-to burn
The proud-the gentle, and the gay
Gathered unto the Wondering urn
Whilst freshly flowed the frequent tear
For love Decentralization fled
For all that were our blessings here,
The Ioyed-the lost-the sainted dead
Thou desolate and dying year
The musing spirit finds IN thee
Lessons impressive and severe
OF deep and stern moraiity-
Thou teachest how the germ OF ysnth
Which blooms in beings dawning day,
pI,atsd bv natxre-rtared by truth
yVither, like thee in dark decay.
Promise of youth fair as the form
or heavens benign and golden bow,
Thy smiling arch begirds thestorn,
And sheds light on every woe; .r
Hope wakes for thee, and to her tongue,
A tone Of melody IS given,
As if her magic voice were strung
With the empyreal fre OF heaven
And love which never can expire,
Whose origin IS from on high,
Throws Per thy morn ray of fire
From the pure fountains OF The sky
Alexandria gazette & daily advertiser. [volume] (Alexandria [Va.]) 1817-1822, 1821-12-03

That fay which glovsand bsight,ns stu
Unchan. ed tel nal, and divine
Where seraphs own its holy thrill.
And bow before Its cleaning shrine.
Thou desolate anddving year
Prophetic OF our final TALL, 't
Thy huds are 2one--thy leaves are scar
Thy beauties shrouded in the pail:
And all the gafniture that she'd
A brilliancy upon thy prime
Hath like a morning vision fed
Unto the expanded grave Of Time,
Time time in thy triumphaI fight
How all life's phastoms fleet away
The smile of hope-and young delight
Fame's meteor beam-aRd taHcy's ray
They fade-and On thy heaving tide
Rolling it's stormy waves afar,
Are borne the wrecks of human pride
The brok en- wrecks of fortunes war.
There In disorder dark and wild
Are seen the fabrics once so high,
Which mortal vanity had piled
AS emblems of eternity
And deemed the stately piles whose fonas
Frewncd in their majesty sublime,
Would stand unshaken by the storms
That gathered round the brow OF time,
Thou desolate and dying year!
Eath's brightest pleasures fade like thine,
Like evening shadows disappear
And leave the spirit to repine,
The streams of life that used to pour
IT'S fresh and sparkling waters on,
While fate stood watching on the shore
And numbered all the moments gone
Where hath the morning splender flown
Which danced upon that crystal stream:
Where are the joysto childhood known
When life is an enchanted dream
Enveloped in the stariess night
Which destiny hath overspread
nrolled upon that trackless fight
1here the dark wing oil time hath sped
Oh thus hath life its eveBtide
Of sorrow loneliness and grief;
And thus divestec Gifts pride
1t withers like the yellow leaf -
Oh such is lies autumnal bower
When plundered OF it's summer bloom---
And such is hfe's autumnal hour
Which heralds man unto the tomb.

who lad evinced desire to see their
country liberated from foreign yoke,
have been seized and put TO death, and
their property coatiscated. Others have
been sent to the gailiesfor life. All those
persons who were thus prosecuted by the
Piedmontese government, were wealthy;
the poor patriots were net looked after.
An atrocious anecdote Is connected with
the trial of capt Garelli He was tried,
sentenced and hanged, without the assis-
lance or advice of counsel It's true, that
at the mock trial the judges appointed an
official counsel, but he was not permitted
to consult with his client, nor to receive
any instruction from him, nor was he per-
mitted to call witnesses. OF put any ques
ton to the witnesses for the prosecution.
The London Courier states, that ''revo-
lutions are merely restrained from burst
ing forth in Italy, and especially in Pied
mont. Every thing languisheS in Italy
and Naples. One fact will give an idea
of the present state Of Piedmont, The
capital is deserted At Turin, tswn
whose population is estimated at from 80
to 81 900 souls, of which number are COM
puted 10000 craftsmen, $4,000 of the lat
ter have deposited their working licences
in the hands of the municipal authori-
ties"
The annual consumption of British
spirits by each person in most of the nor
thern counties in Scotland, is stated in a
parliamentary report to be from one tenth
to two tenths of gallon, while in the
County of Edinburg, it is within tribe ct
four gallons.

the coffin was being let down into the tomb,
the same sound as before issued from it, ac-

the inclo.ed person, by sudden and v!o-

eyes wide open and rolling in their sockets,
