q lEpTHAs, RAsH VOW .

The Lynchburg Iuginldn contains
beautiful little poem under this title, stating
that it was written by young lady OF Mas
saebnseits, and never before published.
The FIRST part of this statement IS correct,
the latter erroneous. The fate Of this Gle
gint piece is somewhat singular. II was
first published IN the National .Egis some
twelve or fourteen years since. Ii was al
forwards printed as Original ~ several other
places. The Federal Ga.eHc Of this city
printed it, as by young lady of Baltimore,
some time after lis FIRST appearance and a.
never before published" These mistakes
undoubtedly arose FROM copies having been
procured from the friends ofthe accomplish
ed author, aud plivatcly circulated.
The above paragraph Is extracted from
the Baltimore Patriot. The poem was
handed to us by young gentleman, who
obtained il, we believe, from friend ofthe
aulhor-and assured us, aa he no doubt be
lievcd, that IL had never been published
IL matter of but little consequence
however, whether il had or had nat been
before submitted TO the public eye II de-
tracts nothing from the beauty OF the poem.
The Patriot accounts, we think, very ra-
tionally forth manner III which the mistake
occurred

Some Of the newspapers will have il that
the interests of Mr. Adams, as TO the Pres-
dency, are declining every where. The
Richmond Enquirer has heretofore repre-
scented him as absolutely hors de Comtat. 1t
is fear or cunning that speaks thus. The
proper inference from this language is, that
hc is thought To be stronger as a candidate.
When the Roman Emperor excluded The
statues Brutus and Cassius from the grand
procession, Cassius and Blutus, says the
historian, were only thought Of the more
by the people. There are many who would

Mysterious affair." Our readers will
find, under the Curacao, head to day, an
account of Revolutionary Movements of

The matter is not so distinctly stated
as it might be bat information has reach
ed us which supplies much of what is de.

This expedition TO Porto Rico, which is
detained at Curacao, is another Amelia
Island affair. 1t is believed that the per-
suns engaged in the enterprise have no
commission from any power whatever :;
and that 1t IS fortunate that they have been
prevented from proceeding further, lest
they should have rendered themselves la
BILE 10 the fate of all pirates.
Porto Rico, il seems, was the object of
Their destination. but il was selected by
chance, IN ali probability, the whole matter
having The appearance of mere specula-
ting adventure, bold enough, but ill-advi-
scd and worse-d igested.
Among the persons embarked in it, we
are sorry to learn, are several respectable
American citizens, and youths of good ia
nlily, who are thus setting not only the
laws OF their own country but the law of
| nations at defiance. What madness scizes
those, who fly from plentiful and peace
fuI country, where there is room for the ex-
ercise of all useful talent, in pursuit Of ad =
yentures-ofwealth to be acquired without
industry, and of honors which, according
to undisputed law, will doom their posses
sors, If caught in civilized society, TO Ger
tain death
We have some curious particulars OF
this expedition, which for the present we
reserve. OF all the schemes of political
errantry ever undertaken, surely this is the
most extraordinary. As if in itself the
enterprise We're not sufficiently unwarran-
table, they have already given character
to 1t by attempting TO force .4nserican res
sets to afford them the means of Transport
