Genesis, chapt. 81.
Did not the tear in Hagars eve,
As over her diving SON she knelt,
In speechess, silen, agony,
Show what the anxious mother felt,
And when she softly breathed her prayer
Her fearful eyes appraised to Heaven
Did not the anguish beaming there,
Show how the mothers heart was riven.
Then when the sweetest accents fell,
The voice from heav'n-"Thy son shall live ~
Think We an angels tongue could tell
The joys that babe her heart revive
there's a something in the tear,
That dims n mothers kindlng eve;
A charm so fraught with love--so dear,
We weep-we know not-care not why.

gle solid reason in favor OF the election of Mr.
Paynter To say that he is man Of talents would
10 the mouths of his opponents be deemed by all
who know him as too severe a satire. Or will you
elect him as your governor because he has been all
his lille in Office and long since pockeed fortune
out OF the public purse? Or because during the
late war he happened to be useless colonel of mill
tia, and an Indifferent state treasurer? For what
causes will you then elect him Not surely because
from his local situation, his proyerbal feebeness of
intellect and long continued habit of reverence for
the opinion OF Others he must necessarily be under
the direction of man whose feelings never were,
nor never can be American. /.

SURRENDER OF MARACAIBO.


BY the brig Cleaner, arrived yesterday from Rio
de la Hach, we have received full confirmation Of
the capture OF the Spanish squadron the Lake of
Maracaibo; and learn that Morales sued for capt.
tulation on the 4th August which was granted, and
is as follows:
Maracabo and the Fort St. Charles, to be deli
vered up, with all the vessels in port Morales and
his officers, and Spanish born soldiers, to be
veyed to Cuba, they engaging never to serve against
Colombia. The surrender of Morales is due to the
exertions of General Manrique, who commanded
the land forces, and to Gen. Padilla, the comman-
der Of the sea forces.
The engagement took place between the fleets
on the Oath July. The action lasted from A.
Nj to p. NJ. when il was decided in favor of the
Colombians, who took or destroyed The whole OF
the Spanish squadron, only two vessels making their
escape. The loss of the Spaniards was 500 slain
or drowned, and 400 prisoners among the number
were rs officers. One brig, herm. briggs were
blown up. Six schooners and number Of ilecheras
taken. The Colombians had 40 killed, and 1l9
wounded.

ban ship Bolivar, says. that on The part of the pat
RIOTS the only serious misfortune that befel them
was the blowing up Of the schr. Spartan, Capt.

out that they were entirely innocent of the crime
with which they had been charged. They were

the necessary inquiries which proved so sa,stac-

to grant them free pardon. Had the crime for
which they tried been of capital nature, 1t is
more than probable these two innocent men would
have been executed before any thing could have
been done for their relief. As it was they were
