BY MRS. BARBAULD.

Wr4ten in her eightieth gear.
When life in opening buds is sweet,
And golden hopes the spirit greet,
And youth prepares his joys to meet
Alas how hard it is to die!
When scarce is seiz'd some borrow'd prize,
And duties press, and tender ties
Forbid the soul from earth to rise,
How awful then it is to die
When one by one those ties are torn, III"
And friend is snatch'd forlorn,
And man is left alone to mourn,
All then, how easy It's to die.
When trembling limbs refuse their weight,
And films slow gathering dim the sight,
And clouds obscure the mental light,
IT'S natures precious boon to die.
When faith is strong, and conscience clear,
And words Of peace the spirit cheer,
And yision'd glories half sppear,
IT'S Joy, It's triumph then to die!

On yieauiag the Dead Body eta Beautiful INT
There is smile upon that cheek,
Those lips would seem almost to speak;
Calm is that look, that brow is fair,
The haxen ringlet wantons there.
And well those features sweet we trace
Which hover on that angel face;
He seems enwraPt in slumber deep,
All Edwin' it's thy long last sleep.
The chill of death is on that cheek,
Those lips shall never silence breaki -
No soul is in that cherub smile,
Illusive charm, and lovely guile.
The eye has shut its final spark,
The liquid, lustrous orb, is dark,
And swift must every feature fly
From the soft face of Infancy.
And now, the kiss of agony,
Whose touch thrills with mortality,
The parents give, but who shall tell
The anguish Of that fond FAREWELL
Yet from the graves mysterious night
That form again shall spring TO light.
Fen now in yon eternal rest,
The unearthly mansion of the blest,
The unclothed spirit joins the hymn
Swelling from burning seraphim:
And were our passport to the skies
AS his, then speed each hour that flies,
And earth, let each successive sun
Swift'rise, swift set, be bright and done.

OLD GRIMES.

OLD GRIMES.
Old Grimes is dead-rhat good old man
We never shall see more.
He used to wear long black coat
All buttoned down before.
Ills heart was open as the day;
His feelings all were true;
His hair was some inclined to grey
He wore it in queue.
Whenever was heard the voice of pain
His breast with pity burned
The large, round head, upon his cane,
From ivory was turned.
Thus ever prompt, at PHYS call,
lie knew no base design
His eyes were dark, and rather small
His nose was aquiline.
He lived at peace with all mankind,
In friendship he was true;
His coat had pocket-holes behind
His pantaoons were blue.
Unharmed--the sin which earth pollutes,
He passed securely DER;
And never wore pair of boots
For thirty years,4or more.
But poor Old Grimes is now at rest
: Nor fears rnisfortune's frown,
He had double breasted vest
The stripes ran up and down.
He modest merit sought to find,
And pay it its desert.
He had no malice in his mind
No ruffies on his shirt.
His neighbours he did not abuse,
Was sociable and gay.
lie wore large buckles in his shoes,s
And changed them every day. Il
His knowledge, hid from public gaze, VI
He did not bring in view
Nor make noise town.meeting days,
AS many people do.
His worldly goods'h he never threw
in trust to fortunes chances;
But lived Gas all his brothers dog
In easy circumstances.
Thus undisturbed by anxious cares,
His peaceful moments ran;
And every body said he was
A fine old gentleman.
Good people all give cheerful thought
To Grimes's memory;
AS doth his cousin EsEK SHORT,
Who made this poetry.

yesterday we have received from our at
tentive correspondent files OF Havana Pa
pers 10 the 9th inst. They afford us later
Intelligence, bota from Old md New Spain,
than had been previously received. 1t APP
pears, from these dates, that some degree
Of quiet had been restored in Old Spain
while the Emperor OF New Spain was just
beginning to experience the cares and trou-
bles necessarily attendant upon the Office
which he has usurped.
Addresses had been presented to the
Emperor iTUBIpE, from various public bo-
dies III Mexico, complaining in loud terms
of the expressions experienced by the peo-
pie under his government, and upbraidng
him with having violated his oaths, made
IN the most solemn manner, in the presence
of the Congress OF the Empire. They
represent the country as sinking fast into
ruin, and undisguisedly express their deter
mination to restore it to liberty, or pc
IRISH in the attempt. We shall probably
give a specimen of these Addresses in fu-
ture paper.

oupstdiCt, idu Deen Hidue 10 senior DOn

of st. Juan de Uloa, by the Council of We

powers from the Spanish government au-
thosising him TO surrender that fortress, he
should nevertheless abstain from hostllties,
and preserve the peace and harmony which
ought naturally to exist between the two
countries. They assure him, in this event,
that Spaniards coming to settle in Mexico,
from the moment of their arrival, should

privileges allowed them. That in the

great preparations were making to attack
the Castle, in the event either not coming

down for that purpose. IL was also ru-
mored at Vera Cruz, at the above date,
that the imperial troops which were sent to
Guatlmala had been completely routed,
IL that, III consequence ofthis, another army
composed of 1000 men, underline command

Letters received in Havana from Cadiz,
express the belief that Don JUAN WIS

neral Of Cuba, vacated by the death of the
much respected General MANY.
Translated for The Courier
HAVANA, Oct. 29.-By the schooner III
gerd, arrived yesterday, in 10 days from
Vera Cruz, we have received very recent
adyices from New Spain, which give US a
lamentable description of the sad state to
which that country is reduced The new
Emperor, far from having fulfilled the pro-
misses which he made to the people at the
time of his elevation to the throne. has at
once thrown aside tho mask, and trample
under foot the public liberties, with the
utmost efirontery, paying 10 respect to the
Congress itself. Every day persons of the
greatest responsibility, and knewn for their
attachment to the cause Of their country,
are thrown into prison. The greatest ef-
ier'esccnce rrigns in the capital in conse-
qqence of the arrest Of the Deputies, and
already several provinces have manifested
their discomfort al go unexpected an act Of
tyranny.
All the letters received in this city agree
in saying that the Revolution has taken
horrid aspect, and the Immediate CON
sequence will lie the most frigtfu' anarchy
