SNAKE IN TIE STOMACH.

An astonishing surgical operation was
lately performed with success in the hos
pital of st. Louis, Paris. A peasant, Of the
neighbpurhood of La Fere, was persuaded.
that about FIVE years ago, he had swallowed,
with his food, some reptile, which, in an in :
applicable manner, still lived, as he ATTIC
med, in his stomach. The Physician EN-.
ployed various prescriptions, without ell
feet. Tortured by excrusiating pains, the
unhappy man resolved to go to Paris to be
opened, which operation was, in fact, per-
formed, by making an incsion Just below
the region of the heart, when it was ascer-
tanned that his conjecture was well founded
As soon as the animal perceived more air
than it was accustomed to, it showed itself
at the end of the incision, but immediately
drew back; when one of the assistants put
his finger into the wound and drew out a

o:The continual plracies which for
some time past have oeen practlsed up
on our commerce on the coast fthis is
lant, and particularly on the vessels of
foreign nations trading to our ports,
should have long since demanded public
attention; and most especially that of the
ouolic authorities, whose duty 1t is to a.
dopt such efficient measures as would de-
strpy or at least prevent 50 great and a.
farming an evil, which had already as
sumed most terrific aspect as regards
the security of the numerous establish
1nents situated on or near the coast of
this island. At length our political chief
has seen the necessity OF adopting some
precautionary measures to guard against
the se!fsn views of these miserable aban-
doned wretches. who sluding the vigil
lance of the government, undertake to
adopt this infamous course of life; and
Knowing therefore how very important
this order must be for commerce and
the public in general, we insert 1t in our
daily paper with a view OF giving it all
che publicity necessary.
GOVERNMENT ORDER.
The repeated compApts which this
government, has received of the depreda-
lions and piracies committed on the coast
of this island. by armed crews of boats
and other small vessels by suddenly
boarding the vessels of all nations APP.
proaching our coast or departing from
our ports, have compelled mo to inquire
and examine. particularly into these
matters and TO order the following spe-
ciai instructions TO be strictly observed, ,
for the purpose of guarding against the
abuses here complained of, so contrary
90 the existing laws, and with view to
their punctual observance by every VIZ
giiass means prescribed by the samo.

FAREWELL ADDRESS. !


Farewell, I come in bitterness OF heart,
To breathe that word of sadness, and to part.
Sot no. not yet! few brief moments now
Are dear To me--and time viii vet allow
One look-the last-on those Hong have loved
On Won within, whose homes I've breath'd and
mov'd;
ON YOU, whose greetings, to my coming given,
Were like sunbeam from summer heaven,
TO me, and mine, through many happy years,
And would thank you In this hour OF tears,
For all the kindnesses of days gone by,
But the warm gushing tear--the heart-born
sigh,
Are now my only language them speak,
BY thanks-my gratitude-though all 600
weak
The feelings of this heart to image true,
Which joyed but in your smiles, and breaks to
bid adieu.
Alas not now with Juliet can tell
10 those love, that ''parting as strest so1rOt0,
'.yould mine ike hers, were like ghts fare
well.
To eyes whose light would beam on me to-mor.
row!
And vet, to breathe again my native air,
Il a sweet hope-a mother waits me there
A mother-fondly ID, andleit too long,
And friends who CHERISHED he when lie was
young,
Isaw their beckoning srnile--and deemed its
power
Would soothe the anguish of this parting hour;
But feel, when now that torturing hours come,
as If your CLINE mad been my only home.
Farewell to that cline-where the hands
warm embracing
Gives the stranger the welcome of Friend
ship and Love!
In vain from its scenes of delight am chasing
My thong hts-they return to their ark like
the dove
Farewell to the land, where the sun smiles in
beauty,
In the blue skies he loves, all unchecked by
the cloud,
Where the free soul of man knows no fe.ter
but duty,
And Liberty breathes her prisons aloud
From hearts that have throbb'd high and quick
at my bidding,
From smiles that to life gave its goldeness
ray,
From eyes whose bright tears sad glory are
shedding
Around my departurs-I wander away!
Far away!--bue wherever this bosom is beating
Through liie--in its dreams shall my memo
ry dwell
2rith Joy on the first happy hour of our meet
ing,
with grief on the last when babe you
