THE subscriber takes leave to inform

taken that large and well known tavern
establishment, known by the mime of the
UNION TAVER N,
in Georgetown, few minutes walk only
from the Presidents House and the pub
Offices. He will be provided with the
best of liquors, bedding, stabling, anc in
short, with every thing necessary for the
convenient and comfortable accommoda-
ton of travellers, and for permanent and
transient boarders. Private families OF
members of Congress and others can, at
all times, be furnished with private, COM
Portable and well furnished rooms, with
good and faithful servants TO attend upon
them. There is, perhaps, no house Of
public entertainment in this country better
calculated for the purpose than this, and
none, it may be safely affirmed, IN this
District at all equal to it. The house is
now undergoing some Improvements, and
will in the course ola few days, be ready
for the reception of company. There are
four or five lines of stages which run to
and from this house daily; and there is an
excellent well constructed steam boat
which plies every day between George
town and Alexandria.
The subscriber who lately kept the tav-
erp at Rossburgh, near Bladensburgb,
deems it unnecessary here 10 make dis
play of promises for giving satisfaction to
those who may think tit to favor him with
their custom; but this much be will say.
that no exertons on his part, shall be
wanting, to give general satisfaction. and
he does hope that from bis experience in
this line of business, and his genera dis,

public patronage. His charges too, shall
be regulated by the present and increasing
appreciation Of money; so that his custo-

THE SAILOR.
BIZ Selleck Osborne.

By Selleck Osborne.
The weary sea bird screams afar;
Among the waves dire omens sweep;
From the veil'd sky no friendly star
Beams on the andulating deep!
Hark from the cliffs of distant shores,
The looms emits his distant cry;
The wave portentous warning roars,
And speaks the threatening tempests nigh
What guardian angels wat chful power,
Shall snatch me from the angry deep,
Or bid in that tremendous hour,
The demon of the waters sleep
Or who, lion some desert wild,
Idrift weak, famish'd and distres't,
Shall hush the sorrows of my child,
And sooth Lavinia's wounded breass.
Sweet objects of my early love
For YOU with aching heart Imourn;
Far from your peaceful vale rove,
All hopeless ever to return.
Yet, should it be my happy lot
To hail again my native shore,
Secure within my humble cot,
I'll brave the restless deep no more.
His pray'r was heard, the rolling barque
Rode thro' the storm with stubborn pride;
And William, blithe as morning lark,
Flew to his sweet enraptur'd bride.
Yet Will, with love and liquor warm,
Fer vet m nth had passed In glee,
Forgot the terrors ofthe storm,
And singing, squar'd away for sea.
*The loom, according to st. Pierre, is di:
NAL kind of bird, which, especially on the al
proach of storm, perches Ola the cliffs an
promontories of the Shore, and utters a moi.
