with all its irresistible impetuosity, ending in the
subverson of my peace, and the total humiliation of
all my happiness Being now unfit from this, and
the visitation of another misfortune, which shall
hereafter name, Gas misfortunes never come sngly,
for every thing which could now estimate as va
luable-the company of social friends retired to
an obscure part of my native village, there to drone
outthe remainder of mymiserable existence in man

them those in prospect When | stroled out, it

that fingered out, few dying Goals, the te-
dous days, now and then startled from my feverish
rcveres Or dull insensbility, by the bowling of some
chill Noyember's blast, or to gaze for moment on
some silent and shivering passenger. The compa-
mons of my youth knew such habits were foreign to
my nature, and that was induced to them by train
of peculiar circumstances others, who viewed my
character as repulsive, no doubt when they ascer
tanned the causes which induced my separation
from the world, shed the tear Of sympathy over my
mistortunes That the ingrattude of friends and
the objectionable ickleness of one whose alenated
affections have produced vacuum which can never
be filed, formed only small part of my troubles
and that she who had plighted hervows as solemnly
as if they had been uttered before the hymeneal
altar, wantonly played the truant and transferred
her affections to another
"Thus, the children of her who had cruelty des-
royed my happiness, grew up around my door, the

the world concluded the wsest course was to re-
tire to that lonely spot and remain forever in per
petual celibacy and to view in future with the
cold indifference Of misanthrope, all sparkling
eyes and smiling lips, determining never again to
get my neck into Cupid's haltcr--a good proof Of
my prudence, but not perhaps of my scnsibility

A THOUGHT ON THE SEA-sHORE.

BY ]. coNDER.
Beyond, beyond the boundless sea,
Above that dome of sky,
Further than thought itself can fee,
Thy dwelling is on high
Yet dear the awful thought to me,
That thou, my God, art nigh.
Art nigh, and yet my laboring mind
Feels after thee in vain,
Thee in these works of power to find,
Or to thy seat attain
Thy messenger, the stormy wind,
Thy path the trackless main
These speak Of Thee with loud acclaim
They thunder forth Thy praise,
The glorious honor of Thy name,
The wonders Of Thy ways:
But Thou art not in tempest-Aame,
Nor in days glorious blaze.

There does His Spirit rest

And make thy creature blest.

am credibiy informed that Oh the night
of the 20ih inst the blood again com
menccd running from the face of the
girl, and that a large quantity dischar,
ged; that no emission of flesh or bone
have since taken place bit that on
the evening of the 10th, one or two
large pieces of bone came out of the
eye, below the eye ball-that they
were seen coming, and their progress
plainly marked until they came entire
~ out-that the girl compliance of
considerable pain while they were
coming out; and that one piece Of bone
caine ous through the skin above the
eye, and that the appearance was pre-.
cisely similar to those that came out of
the cheek; that no hole, opening or
aperture, could at any time be dis
covered, and thatthe girl yet contin-
ues in perfect health, free from the
most distant symptoms CT pain or
soreness. 1t may be .coricctured by
some who have not had occular de-
monstra,ion of the above facts, that
it is ALA farce--that it is eift cted by
srtifice or the slight of hand; but from
the Weilknown responsibility of Mrs.
Prince and the residents in her family
as we'll as of many others who have
witnessed the same; together with my
own scrutnizing observations, l can
protest, most uneqniyocaliy, that such
is not the case.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

We have perused a file of Paris
papers to the 1st November. They
contain numerous details of events
which do not reach US through the
London TRANSACTIONS. OF which they
give but general results. We find III
them authentic adyices Of The return to
Brest of the major part of the late
French blockading feet at Cadiz,
with considerable number of the
French troops recently employed in
Spain. We read also an official ac-
coun of provision made at Bayonne,
Sc. for Supplying rations to the first
column of the French army 100000
on their return home from Spain
These look very little like the military
occupation of Spain. The evacuation
of Spain must necessarily occupy time.
Most of the French trops will have to
march from to 500 miles before they
reach the French territory All the
strong holds of Spain having been
surrendered to the King by the Con
stitutionalists and their army having
been disbanded, the French troops,
Of course, must garrison the forts until
the new Spanish army is organized
and can relieve them, or leave them
naked On this subject the Journal
DIES Debats of the 30th October, has
a demi Ofliciale, in which it speaks
ola Convention in negotiation between
France and Spain; but remarks, that
the conditions of it, without being bur.
thensome of France, will be so ad-
vantageous to Spain that she will see
in it only greater benefits than those
already conferred on her.

LOOK OUT FOR A MOTHER PIRATE.
Ertract Of letter from st. Thomas,
dated .Nov. 18th, rec eired in New York.
GA report has been current here
during the day, and witch / have
traced sufficiently TO believe authentic,
ofthe piratical seizure and running a.
way with, by the crew of the priva-
teer brig SCIPIO, belonging TO st.
John, or Mayaguez, Porto Rico,
whilst lying OF the latter port. Sheis
stated to be heavy vessel, had about
sixty men On board, at the time Of the
mutiny, but completed her compli-
ment say double that number, at some
outport of the Island before proceed
ing to her work Of robbery.
"Where may be the scene of her
depredations is of course unknown
Report adds that she had commenced
in the Mona Passage, by plundering
two or three Havana vessels.-This
latter circumstance, however, is not so
well authenticated as the fact of her
putting to sea without any legal au-
thority-in truth, as a prolesed pirate,
of which there is so little doubt, that
l have thought it my duty to COM
nunicate it"
The Rochester Telegraph states
that two notorious rogdes. named
Stoutenburgh, lately made their es-
cape from The Jail in that village
They were let out of their cells into
the hall for some purpose, where they
attacked the turnkey, and took from
him the key of the outer door. One
of them held him while the other un.
locked the door; and after taking a.
vclisse of clothes with them, thcy de-
parted-They stole span cshorses
in Riga.
