FIRE.-The citizens were last night, about
II o'clock, awakened by the appalling cry of fire.
Itwas perceived to issue from one of the buildings
on Rice's wharf-its first appearance being in the
roof of the buildings formerly occupied by O.
Taft, but recently unoccupied.
A high wind al N. w. soon spread the flame,
and all efforts to stop its progress were vain, until
it had destroyed all the buildings on that wharf,
and all the buildings from Exchange Dock To
Mongin's wharf, including Mongin's tab5y build
ing, the buildings on Nioore's, Rice's, Anciaux,
and Mongin's wharves. The wooden building
soccuFisd by Jenny & Douglass, was pulled down
which stopped the progress OF thefiafnes.
The Exchange was at one period in imminent
danger, butIwas preserved. Had it caught. the

" What constitutes state
Not high-raised battement or labour'd mound,
Thick wall or moaed gatei
Nor cities proud with spires and turrcts crowds
Not bays and broadarm'd PORTS
Where, laughing at the storm, rich rayies ride;
Not starr'd and spangled courts
Where ow-brow'd beseness watts perfume TO prids
No Men, hgh-minded Men,
With powers as far above dull brutes endued
In forest brake, or den,
As beasts excel cold rocks and brambies rude
Men, who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing dare maintain,
Prevent the long-am'd blow,
And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain;
These constitute state,
And sovereign law, that states collected will,
O'er thrones and globes elate
Sits Empress, crOwning good, depressing ILL.,
Snit ay her sacred frown
The iiend Discretion like vapour sinks,
And e'en tn all. dazzling crozcn
Hides his faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks,
Such zvas this heav'n.loved isle
Than Lesbos farer and the Cretan shore
No more shall Freedom smile
Shall Britons anguish, and be Men no more 7
Since all must life resign,
Those sweet rewards, which decorate the brave
lis folly to decline
And steal nglorious TO the silent grave"
