can Consul at Porto Rico Rs was attacked at 8
O'Clock in the evening, as he was passing from his
office to his lodgings, by man with dagger or
sword-cane. Mr.. Lord in his effort to escape, fell
to the ground, and fortunately the assassin stumbled
over and fell some distance before him, which ena-
bled Mr. l.. to escape.
On the night Of the Cd inst. an attempt was also
made to assassinate Mr.. J. Green master Of the
American brig James Lawrence. Mr.. Green with
great difficulty made his escape after receiving seve-
raj severe wounds.
Mr.. Lord had been threatened with assassination,
a few days before by noted character an cmigrant
from Lagura, and said to be the owner of the
Spanish priyateer La F0rtuna,' because he (Mr

The tone of the London courier is entirely chan.

Spain is by DO means considered desperate in Eng

rently as il formerly did, which may account tor the

ming answer to his letter. to Ave days, at the end
Of which time ifno reply was given, hostile
one sent, "iL saurait ceguit aurait faire.' This
communication, as we have already stated, reach
ed Ferdinand the 2ist, and from the total silence
upon the subject in all the Paris Papers, well as
from other causes, have every reason to believe
that no favorable reply has been given. In the
mean time the war lingers-the summer is haste
ming TO close, and there is every reason to expect
that matters will remain thus undecided till the
rains set in. The French ministers, as may be
supposed, are fully sensible of the increasing diff
cuties Of the contest, and ANXIOUS, if possible to
effect speedy termination Of the campaign.

"You will no doubt be surprised to remark the
account Of the wanton destruction of the vineyards
in the vicinity of Malaga, by the Sevanos. These
people have been instigated by the influence of
French gold.
| The object can be no secret: BY destroying the
vineyards in Spain, (Which requires some years Of
cultivation TO restorc,) France will find her account
in it and il is measure that will of course recon-
cie the husbandman in France, who evidently sees
| that he will derive benefit from it. 1t is deep
stroke of policy, not unlike that adopted by the Eng
lish when last in Spain scarcely manufacturing
establishment escaped total destruction, under plea
that they might afford facilities of defence and
Portable quarters for the French. The zhort sight
ed Dons did not forsee the true object until after
the war they found their manufacturing interest
Frustrated, and the whole country dependant upon
England"

.From ke Bsston Uuirerseiist.

I love the glory Of the morn,
D~isplay'din orient ray,
When from the oceans wave i born
The tather Of the day.
I love the warmer beam of noon
Winch opens ev'ry flower,
And sits the dive On ev'ry bloom,
In natures rosy bower.
Hove the mildsr. evening beams
Which glitters thro' the trees,
When Soils full face is broader seen,
And sweetens sv'ry breeze.
And vet . glory I have seen,
Far brighter than the morn,
It IS the light Of Z,on's King,
For mans salvation born.
The virtues .ing'd by his bright ray,
Surpass each opening flower.
Which bushes to the noon OF day,
IN natures rosy bower.
Nor does the setting sun display,
Saueh sweet, such soft'ning charms,
As the bright hope Of glory's day,
Which tyrant death disarms. n. b.
