THE OLlO..

FROM THE oHARLEsToN COURIER.
Now the setting sun is glowing,
Far along the golden sea
Many an ocean wave is flowing,
Dearest, tween thy home and me;
To my lonely bosom showing,
shall never meet with thee.
Now my heart is madly beating,
As lingor on the west;
Where the golden sun, retreating,
Blazes on the pillows breast;
Bright and fair, but oh !! as fleetiDg, &
Was the smile that made me blest.
Now that orb is dimly stealing,
TO his palace in the deep;
Homeward now the gannet's wheeling,
Fer the rolling ocean sweep;
But in me the pang Of feeling,
Time can never lay asleep.
Let me onward, DER the occsn,
Distance cannot cure my i'll,
Rise, ye waves, in widest motion.
But my heart is throbbing still:
Let II burn with full DEVOTION
z Deeper-it viii sooner kill.

EMPEROR IruRBIpE

a gentleman lately returned from
Mexico, states that lturbide,s coronation
took place on the alst July, with uncom.

however, in silencing the cries of the NAL

arch bishop "The holy mother catholic

kcd in reply ado you hold him worthy

bishops answered, awe know him, and
are persuaded that he is worthy, that he
will be useful to the church oil God, and
that he is fit for the government of this

"Glory to God" The emperor drew
near the archbishop, and pros,rating him :,

the following oath: 81, Augus,in Iturbide,
