perpstually fourishing in the verdure
Of blooming spring. Such are the
recolIections of friend and brother
endeared to me byevery sacred tie, now
severed by the fiat of the Almighty
Alas! his immortal spirit has ascenoeo
to the abodes of bliss, and
s.The new tenant Of The skies,
Scars to his native heaven--Ye SONS OF light
Receive him-Plant around his youthful brow
A.crown of rcses-ohi behold his corse
Pale as the wither ne fower-Thou earth re-
ceive
into thy bosom his cold sacred dust;
Each spring it shall revive, producea bloom
Of sweet odorous flowers"
and teach to mortals that death levels
all distintions; but thatsvirtue isan lm'
morta principle which will never one.

POETRY.
THE OCEAN.

There are people who affect to think. moth
ing but the human character deserves their
study, and pass ever the great works of GOD
As unworthy the trouble of contemplating
But wonder any being who affects taste would
venture TO assert, that this immense body OF
water presents only sameness and nonotony'
TO me it seems, that even the colors and SOUNDS
are little less varied than those we see or near
IN che midst 9th most luxurIant landscape.
An wherefore do the incurious says
That this ssupendoas Ocean wide,
No change presents from day to day.
Save only the alternate tide
show them, It's bounteo.s breast bestows
On myriads life and bid them see
In every wave that circling flows.
Beauty, and use, and harmony.
Works Of the Power Supreme who poursdths
flood
Round the green Peoploa earth, and called it
good.

Lieut. Dale. Theicircumstances OF this en-
counter, as they have came to our know

The Alligator sailed from Havana for
Matanzas on the 7th inst in consequence
Of having received information that seve-
raj American vessels had recently been
captured 10 wlndwapd Of Matanzas by pl-
rates. Upon her arrival at Matanzas, this
intelligence was confirmed by capt, Mayo,
of the brig Iris, ofBoston, and Mr.. Mars-
den, Mate of the Schr.-, OF Salem,
who had been sent from Point Yacos, Ia
bout q miles TO winward of Matanzas,)
by the Pirates, for money to ransom their
vessels, then in their possession. The
Alligator left Matanzas on the 9th, IN

On the evening o. the 9th, the Alligator
came 10 anchor about five miles distant,
and to wlndward, from the rendezvous OF
the Pirates, and the next morning about

which the Portuguese Government may adopt
in regard to the port of Rio Janeiro, and con.

Kotzebue, the Russian circumDaviga.
tor. relates that he learned, on his arrival
at Oonalashka, that whales were some
times found one hundred and eighty feet
in length, making it necessary for the
people engaged at the opposite ends OF
ihe FISH to haIloo very loud to be able to
hear one another. This is not, however,
so wonderful as another story which he
reports: The Governor of Manila, a
well informed, intelligent man, assured
him that, in the interior OF the country, to
which the horses often ran away, a bird
makes its nest in the upper part OF the a..
nimal's tail; the horse grows lean, and
does not recover even after the bird has
