oN THE MELANCHOLY sHIPwRECK OF
TEE ALBION.
IF ever sorrow moved the manly breast,
Or grief aistii'd did proof of pity speak;
Those pearly symbols now will stand contest,
And roll, In silence, down the seaman's
cheek.
The gallant ship no more! o bitter truth,
The lady fair, and her protectors brave,
The rich, the poor, the aged and the youth,
Have found alike a gloomy deep sea grave.
rhe Albion's lost, and Williams is no more,
The kind, the brave, the seaman and the
friend;
Zen holy men, who do their God adore,
Will DER the news in silent anguish bend.
Mourn, friendship mourn, and pay a tribute
there,
A big tear drop to blend with oceans wave,
Then tell the stole, nature can't forbear
10 think of Williams and his deep sea grave
Columbus seamen viii the loss deplore,
Whilst Britons mourn the glass SO quickly
run,
Responding grief resounds from shore to shore,
And owns, in point of love, they are but one.
MYSTERIOUS Providence had veilid the wo,
In shades imper,ious to sense or pride;
All we or monarchs are allowed to know,
Is that a man hath lived and then hath died.
o God behold, with plying eve the food,
And cause the gloom to beam a moral ray;
D conseerase the loss for public good,
Till countless ages shall have roll'd away.

WAsHiNGToN, 9th March. 1922.
sla: In the National Intelligencer
of this day I have seen the Message
sent by the President to the House of
Representatives, in which he proposes
the recognition, by the United Sta es,
or the insurgent governments of Spa
nish America. How great my surprise
was may be easily judged by any ons
acquainted with the conduct of Spain
towards this Republic, and who knows
the immense sacrifices which che has
made to preserve her friendship. In
fact, who could think that. in return for
the csssion of her most important pro.
vinces in this hemisphere; for the for
getting Of the plunder Of her commerce
BY American citizens; for the priv
leges granted to their navy; and for as
great proofs of friendship as one nation
can give another, this Executive would
propose that the instruction Of the ul.
tra.marine possessions Of Spain should
be recognized? And, moreover, will
not his astonishment be augmented to
SOC that this power is DESTROYS to give
the destructive example Of sanctioning
the rebellion of provinces which have
received no offence from the mother
country--to those to whom she las
granted participation of free con-
stitution-- and to whom she has extern
ded all the rights and prerogatives of
Spanish citizens? In vain will par.
allel be attempted to bedrawn between
the emancipation Of this republic and
that which the Spsnish rebels ATTEMPT;
and history is sufficient to prove, that,
if harrassed and prosecuted provinces
has right to break its chains, others,
loaded with benefits, elevated to the
high rank of freemen, ought only to
bless and embrace more closely the pro-
tecting country which has bestowed
such favors upon them. :
But, even admitting that morality
ought to yield to policy, what is the pro.
sent state Of Spanish America; and
what are ItS SoVoEuM0he " ousisO
them to recognition? Buenos Ayres
Is sunk in the most complete anarchy,
and each day sees new despests pro-
duced. who disappear the next. Peru,
conquered by rebel army, has near
the gates Of ito capitol another Spanish
army, aided by part Of the inhabitants.
In Chill, an individual suppresses the
sentiments Of the inhabitants, and his
violence presages sudden change. On
the coast of Firma. also, the Spanish
banners wave, and the Insurgent Gen.
erals are occupied in quarreling with
their own compatriots, who prefer ta-
king the part Of . free power to
that Of being the slave Of an ed.
venturer. In Mexico, too, there.
is no government, and the result Of the
questions which the chiefs command
Ing there have put TO Spain, 10 not
known. Where, then, are those gov.
ernments which ought to be recognized;
where the pledges Of their liability;
where the proof that those provinces
will not return 70 union with Spain

EXTRACT TO THE EDITOR, DATED

Washington, FEB. Ia, 1899.
"What with the discussion of the Marquis de
Maison Roug's claim ia the senate, and the
debate upon the bankrupt bill in the house,
the proceedings of congress for these few days
past have become very dull.
The claim of Maison Rouge is for tract
of land on the w ashta, under Spanish grant
1t was, in the first instance, simple con-
tract between the Spanish governor of Lou
islana and the Marquis. The contract was
subsequently approved by the king of Spain
and since the cesslon 10 the United States, a
certificate has been obtained from the Span
sh officers that the conditions had been fulfilled
by the claimant There is no patent in the
case. The reason why SO much of the time
of the senate has been occupied on this claim
is, that. if it succeeds, it will open the way for
Others of a similar nature, among which are
Baslrop's and Houma's. 1t is rather singular,
that this claim of MaisoD Rouge should have
been suffered to sleep for nearly twenty years,
and should now be brought up and pressed
with so much yebemence.
have frequently mentioned to you the
subject of the balance of trade and recently
adverted to the custom house returns show
ing, in the circle of trade, that the balance is
in our favor. Referring TO the tables commu-
nicated to congress, it appears that the excess
ofimports in our trade with certain countries
for the year ending on the 9Oth of September,
1921, amounts to II ,276,9O7 dollars, and the
excess Of exports in our trade with certain
other countries, for the same period, amounts
TO l3,665,565 dollars; so that there is a
balance in favor of exports of 2,338,658 dol
lars. The trade with Great Britain is most
against us but the probability is, that our
commerce with that country enables us, in
some measure, to keep up the routine Of ,raf-
fic with other parts of the world. Thus, it APP
pears, that we are not going TO ruin quite so
fast as some croaklng politicians would have
persuaded us and that, on the whole, our
present system of trade is a very good one.
Z" know of no man that will be more stag.
gered by this fact, than the Editor of the Au-
rora,.whose columns have long groaned under
the weight of Iugubrisus predictions that the
United States were fast sinking into poverty
from the circumstance of the balance Of trade
being so enormously unfav0rabe." ~-
