POETRY.
Communicated for Che Gasette.


The following verses are translation
of Lapland Lo0e Song, taken from Shelf
ter's History Of that Country. 1t will be
necessary to imagine, that the author O.
this song, not having the liberty OF visiting
this object Of his affection at her fathers
haase, was in hopes of seeing her at
distance in the fields.
'Fhou rising sun, whose gladstone ray,
Invites my ian to rural play,
Dispelthe nist and clear the sklse,
And bring my Ora to my eyes.
oh! were sure INV dear to view,
I'd climb that pine tree's topmast bough,
Aloft in air that quiv'ring plays,
And round and round forever gaze.
NV Ora Moor, where artthoa laid,
What wood concees my sleeping maid;
Fist by the roots enrag'd IN tear
The trees that hide my promis'd fair.
Oh! could ride the clouds and skies,
On on the Ravens piuions rise,
Ye Stocks, We Swans moment stay,
And wait lover on his way.
NV bliss too long nv bride denies,
Anace the wasting summer flies,
Nor vet the wintrv slastst lfear,
Nor storms ornight shall keep me here.
What nav for strength with steel compare,
Oh! love has letters stronger far.
i!y bolts Of steel are limbs condn'd,
But cruel love enchains the mind
No longer then perplex thy breast,
When thoughts torment, the first are best,
IT'S mad to 90, It's death to stay,
Away to Ora haste away.

established during the administration
of Mr.. Adams, by an adventurer, who
assumed the name of President OF the
United States, and who appears is stlii
governor Of his dominions, will be Pc
rused with great interest by our read
ors. They were brought co this city by
Capt. Ridgely of the frigate Constel-

teemad correspondent, who has polite

cit the impression ofthe Russelfs
owners, that the most part OF her COM

and it is desirable that their conduct to-
wards the Islanders should verify the
opinion. AS this island has been HI
tnerto but little frequented. they will
be less susceptible of fraad'than more
general intercourse with the world
would Justify. It's desired that every
officer and man will abstain from all b.
ceptlousness in word or deed; but will
treat them kindly courteously, and with
the strictest good faith. As protane
swearing has become an questionable
thing even on board of man OF war,
it is quite time it were laid aside by a
whaleman, particularly at this time.
AS these Islanders have been thought
to adore their maker, and are not ac-
customed to hear his name blasphemed T,
they we're shocked with horror when
they heard some of the crew OF an A.
merlcan ship swear, and SAID it was a.

THE SITUATION OF EUROPE

i
Of all the powers that make a figure in
Europe, Turkey has been the most of all
instrument Of policy in the hand of chris
t,an statesmen. Whenever France has beer
at variance with Austria, she has not fail
ed to use her influence with The Divan 10
induce the Porte to make war upon her
adversary, and, in like manner. whenever
Great Britain has been upon Ill terms with
Russia, the cabinet of St James has spare
no pains 10 excite hostile spirit in the
Turks against that nation. The position
of European Turkey, on the borders oil
the Austrian and Russian dominions, indi-
Gates her as The ready instrument of the
British and French governments on such
occasions. In the recent alterations be-
tween the cabinets Of ST. Petersburg and
COnstantinople, circumstances have led to
an union of efforts on the part OF Great
Britain, France and Austria, to resist any
extraordinary demands on the Ottomsns
by the emperor Alexander The ambas.
sailors of those powers have, in effect, and
under the mask of the Divan. been nego,
tiating agents with Russia; fact of which
the court OF St. Petersburg has no doubt
been well aware, and which, if that pow.
er had been disposed 10 be exorbiant in
her demands, might have had tendency
10 restrain her. The motives for the in
reference OF Great Britain, France and
Austria, would, of course. be different.
Austria cannot wish to have so formidable
military power as Russia permanently in
her rear, which would inevitably happen
should the latter gain absolute posse ssion
OF the prinCipaities of Wallachia and
Moldavia. The French government must
be DESTROYS that Russia should remain at
peace, reserviog her armies, in terrorem,
under the treaty of the holy alliance, 10
repress any movement in France hostile
to the reign of the Bourbons: And Great
Britain will always feel anxious TO pre-
vent any advance OF the Russian authori-
ty towards Asia Minor, from whence, in
connexion with Persia, the British domin-
ions in India night be seriously assailed.
These motives, urging the three powers
to labor TO d common end, have effected
pacI6cation between the Porte and Rus.
STA, Of which there seems now no longer
cause to doubt, The sovereign of Rus
STA is, by treaty, the protector Of the
Greeks OF Moldavia and Wallachia and
the probability is, that matters will settle
down according to old treaty stipulations,
