And. when thought yoa felt forsaken,

No my bird, too much lov'd.
But now in wonder woods YOU wander,
Lonely, friendless, and distrest;
The lisht'nings fash, the rain, the thunder
Oft my bird will spoil thy rest.
And then think thou mav'st be shot as

" Yes, do" g Well. sir, as we wur a

we caught him in this carpet sir, and

treatment of the Greeks, and the de-
struction OF their churches, for the safety
of which Russia, protesting a similar
faith with the Greeks, stood pledged.
Turkey replies that though these evils

the accuracy ofthis statement.

Louis is so blind as to allow them to car
ry their projects into effect relative to

an event will occasion new revolution
fatal to his throne. The whole OF France

heland-Wc are now furnished
with complete evidence Of what we al
ways believed to be the fact that the
greater par, Of the statements of muir
ders, robberies and outrages, said TO have
been recently comm,tedin Ireland, were
scandalous fahrications, got up for the
purpose of affording pretext for plac-
ing the people under the entire control Of
a military government. Among other
inventions, it was given in the hireling
journals that second family, five in
number, OF the name of milestone had
been burned to death at Charleville on
the Esd December, by the exaspera,ed
peasantry. In consequence Of this infor-
nation, says the Cork Chronicle, " Mr..
O'Briep, magistrate, proceeded TO
Charleviilc, and to his extreme gratitica-
ton, discovered that the letter { Contain
ing the intellisence) was forgery, and
that no such a,rocity had taken place"
The discovery however was too late
The military already occupied this
part Of the country, and although no
symptoms Of disorder has appeared, it
was thoguht prudent tokeep them there
in case of accidents. A government
that could resort to such means 10 effect
its purposes, cannot be otherwise than
destitute Of principle, and merits the
execra'ion Of all virtuous men.

REPORT en- NAVIGATION LAWS.


Mr.. KING, of New-York, from the
committee on Foreign Relations, pre-
scented the following Report:
The committee on Foreign Relations,
10 whom were reGerred the Memorial Of
r. Appleby and others, of the Cole
ton District, South Carolina, and the
Resolutions of the Chamber OF Com
merce of the City Of Baltimore, praying
for the repeal of the laws closing the
ports of the United States against Bril-
fish vessels employed in the trade be-
tween the United States and the British
{ olonies in the West Indies, Report:
That referring to the period between
the completion of the Revolution and
the adoption Of The Constitution, it can
not be doubted that the cmbarrassments
Of the agriculture, trade, aad navigation
of the several states were truly ascribed
to the want OF power in Congress to
make adequate laws for their encourage
ment and protection and no motive in
favor Of the adoption Of the Constitution,
was more strongly or more generally
felt than the opinion, that the ves,ing of
power in Congrss to regulate trade ,
would serve to promote the welfare and
prosperity Of the Union.
The new government, under the Con-
stitution, very soon experienced the in
fluence created by the extraordinary
changes that were taking placein France,
and which, in the sequel, engaged all
Europe in arms.
War between the great maritime pow.
ers invariably produces temporary re-
laxations of their laws respecting the
trade and navigation of foreign nations
with their respective territories. The
suspension Of these laws, and especially
Of such Of them as regulated the colonial
trade, had the effect Of giving to the agri-
culture, trade, and navigation, of the
United States, the advantages which
would have been given them by a sys-
TEN Of free trade, that should have for its
basis the equal and reciprocal benefit Of
all nations.
The condition Of neutrality that was
adopted by the United States during the
wars Of the French Revolution, secured
toevery commercial nation benefits which
peacaeblc and industrious people are
able to afford during periods Of great
public calamity; aud our example du-
ring these wars has served to prove, that
justice is the most profitable, as we'll as
the wisest policy Of nations.
Since the establishment Of the gene.
raj peace, some Of the maritime nations,
Notwithstanding the doubts that have
been raised in regard TO the truth of the
former theories Of trade, have returned to,
and resumed their ancient commercial
policy and in consequence thereof, the
United States have in their own defence,
been obliged to resort to the exercise Of
the powers TO regulate trade vested in
Congress, for the purpose of protecting
and cherishing the industry and naviga-
ton ofthe states.
Great moderation has been observed
By the United States on this subject, and

PRESENT SITUATION OF THE STATE
OF NEW-YORK.
The following remarkably well writ.
ten article on this interesting subject, we
have copied from late number Of the
Ithaca Chronicle.
The present situation Of the state Of
New-York must be subject Of felicita-
ton to every citizen who has the honor
and interest Of his country at heart. Our
increase in wealth, population and re-
sources has been unprecedented. Dur
ing the revolutionary war, Long Island
and narrow strip along the Hudson
comprised our whole inhabited territory.
New-York was then in the second or
third class of states; yet she was the
theatre ofthe most important operations,
and some Of the most brillian, exploits
which distinguished that memorable era.
Her sages, her patriots and her soldiers
hold an elevated rank among the great
architects Of the temple Of American
liberty.
In the short space Of 40 years New
York has attained an undsputed pre-
eminence in the republic. Her effective
population exceeds that Of any other
state, in aratio gilmore than 4 to 8, and
her wealth, resources and influence bear
correspondent relation. Blessed with
one ofthe most luxuriant soils and salu-
brious climates in the world; washed on
the "one side by the Atlantic, and on
the other BY the great lakes )" interscct-
ed in every direction by navigable waters I;
producing within herself almost every
necessary, and even convenience OF life I;
governed by mild and equitable sys-
tenn OF laws, guaranteeing 10 every indi-
vidual, however poor or unfortunate,
every right, civil and religious, enjoyed
by any other member Of the community ;

ry should be brilliant, Our metropolis

In countries Of great extent, and whose
productions are various, though the pco-
pie are generally employed in similar
occupations, new regulations may for a
time, affect some portions of the coun-
try more than others /; but every portion
soon accommodates itself to the new re-
gulation, and the advantages and disad-
vantages, are in short time, certain to be
equalized by the entire freedom with
which every branch ofindustry is prose

1t was on account Of this diversity OF
products, and Of the different manner of
doing business in the several states,
that jealousies formerly existed between
them, which defeated every attempt to
establish any common regulation oftrad /.
