DEATH.
The Genius OF Death is beautifully represented in tn
Gem a Winged Boy, his weeping ewes covere
with his left arm, and trailing torch reversed
his right hand.
What is death IT'S to be free
TO more TO love, or hope, or fear--
To join the great equality:
All alike are humbed there , R+
The mighty grave tF
Wraps lord and slave
Nor pride nor poverty tlares como
Within that refuge house the tomb
Spirit with the dropping wing,
And the ever weeping eye.
Thou Of all earibs A.ags arr King
Empires at thy foos,ool lie 4.
Beneath thee strew'd
Their multitude
Sink, like waves upon the shore
StoTuIs shall never rouse them more
What's the grandeur of the earth
TO the grandeur round thy throne
Riches, glory, beauty, birth.
TO thy kingdom all haze gone.
Before thee stand
The wond'rouS band
Barhs, heroes sages, side by side.
Who darkened nations when they died
Earth has hosts but thou canst show
Many million for her one
Through thy gateS the mortal flow
Has for countless years roll'd on:
Back from the tomb
No step has come
There hx'd till the last thunders sound
Shall lid thy prisoners be unbound.

the age OF 10, while in state of pregnancy.
They also direct an inquiry before burning, TO
ascertain that no compulson is used, and that no

lately prevails Il 4 high pitch in the univ ersi-
ties In some of them the students have arrang-
ed themselves into two parties, the friends Of
hereditary nobility, and the advocates of democ-
racy. Their disputes are very acrimonious and
duelling has become extremely fashionable a.
mOng them,-ln the slttiGgs of the Spanish
Cortes, Nov. 24th, measure OF the court OF
Rome was condemned and it was determined
that it should not be allowed TO carry into effect
any ofits projects againt Spain.-By accounts
FROM Smyrna, we are informed that the Turks
were very tranquil in Patras, Nov. 9th well
SUI piled with provisions and that NapOh de RO-
mania remained in their possession. The same
adyices inform that 2 English vessels, one Aus
trian, and one French, had been taken BY the
Greeks but that Capt. Askew, Of Br. Cor
vetie, had compelled them TO restore them
According to the late news from Bagiad, the
Persans were advancing rapidly upon that city,
being but 10 hours march from little Aigc-
rines, having debarked on Miconi for cattle, were
driven off BY the Greeks, and lost II men.--

citadel of CoIinth besieged by the Greeks. Be-
sides this stroag hold the Turks have well sup
piled garrisons in four other places in the MOrea

DIED, on Sunday last, ELIZABETH
daughter Of john Il. Cooke, Esq o.
this place, in the third year of her age.
There is spark of heavenly fame,
of which the soul of man isformed;
There IS s.pure, eatberial beam
B,which this mortal coil 10 warmed.
Celestial spark! how pure thy rays
when issued from the Almighty's throne.
How bright, unclouded is thy blszes
For it, OH God, 10 then thine own.
But chained 10 this sad world below,
How soon its radiant fires grow dims
lis splendor shines but family thro'
The ambient folds Of clay and sin.
The glowing beam of heavenly light
That TO this darkeued dus. is given.
Grows more discolored and less brighs
Asst delays its fight 10 heaven
Enclosed in this abode Of woe.
Where passion, low desire dwels
l,s quivering lights soon cease TO glow.
Or burn with faint and struggling spells.
But when tn Alnigbsy sire shall deem,
fiis greatness hsnoTed by an infants death.
| Then shall revert the halsowed beam
Untouched. & sacred sfom polutious breatf
For yet the sersph soul pure;
by vice untouched, to CRIME unknovu;
| No passions yet the fame obscure
That Issued from the eternal throne.
But living, glowing, brigatning still,
| Swift on rsptured wings ascending.
Soon il cleaves the realms Of bliss.
| Where sister angels stand attending.
There near the halIowed throne of God.
Where infant seraphs praise his name,
Is sweet ELIzARrrn's abode;
| A spark OF this celestial FAME JuLus.
