was particularly concerned; but perhaps you havs
forgotten it. 1t was in April 822 at his own house
in Paris, that first saw him. After our acquain
lance, he very politely gave me ticket of admis
sion to the Chamber Of Deputies, where, among
others, heard speech from Nj. Villele, now so
distinguished in the Bourbon cabinet. The reyou
ton in Piedmont you may perhaps remember, took
place little before this period. Many Of the dis

of the Sandman government after the failure oil

Furnishing these poor refugees One Of them APP

The Marquis informed me OF it, and begged me to
take this Italian gentleman out OF France with me,
as servant, ] cheertully consented, and was on
that account detained in Paris day Two longer

FROM THE NEW YORK COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER.
TO THE WILD ROSE OF AUTUMN.

Because thou lou'st simpRcify.-ANoN.
Sweet flower of unobirsive worth,
That shuns the travellers gaze
Soon will the searching blasts of earth
Thy tmeless bloom erase
In fashions festive halls arrayed,
What though her daughters may deride thee!
I've found thee in the hawthorn shade,
And will commune awhile beside thee
Mild emblem of 6 Simplicity"
Why love 10 linger herel
While DER thy head the branches sigh,
And "leaves are i'll the scar
I'd have thee seek yon palace green,
Where thy more favord sisters flourish;
They shed their fragrance round the scene,
That beauty's gentle fingers nourish.
But hold-for peril waits thee there,
HAPPY thou know'st full well;
And thus preferst mid mountain air,
And moss and woods to dwell.
For aye, | know the fairest bud
Is urcd to DER beauty's bosom!
Sad pride !-how soon its blush is dead,
unwept, like thy reyiving blossom!
But here, these chill autumnal skies
Frown through the fading glen.
And urge thee, e'er the storms arise,
To sojourn safe with man.
Or, if thou know'st his WAYS, his doom,
'plaud the choice that marks their feetness;
And near the hedge would rather bloom,
Than wither midst the domes Of greatness!
Yet pity thou slouldst meet death
So cruel and so cold,
When can lay thy form beneath
The road-side's warnest mould!
So true thy life resembles mine,
I'll kiss, although know twill kill thee
Thou hadsi but mornings few TO slime,
And shoudst expire while odours Till thee!
Come, then--'ts fit the breath of one,
Like thee, retirement's child,
Should brush thee kindly from the sun,
Fer winter sweeps the Wild
There, New let evening lend her tears,
To pass and find that have slain thee
She'll wrap thee in the robe she wears,
But yainly struggle TO regain lhee.
She knows me--for within her bowers
My youthful days were spent;
Where off her veil of woven flowers
My rude embraces rent!
Pleased would my infant eyes survey
The lovely plants came 10 cherish
And would but kiss their dews away,
But started when saw them perish:
Farewell-thy lonely friend m'ist haste.
Where stern misfortune leads
For life to him is but waste,
And all its yerdure weeds:
And for this deed, some coming day,
Such wrath thy angry kim may bear me,
lney u shun the spot tnat owns my Gay,
Nor e'er consent to cluster near me
o hard his lot, no rose who rears
To live, where thousands grow,
Nor on the stem that drinks histears,
Can tempt bud 10 blow
I'll strive no more. Wealth has no share,
Nor treasures hope, that he may borrow;
No chambers death, his heart should fear,
Whose grasp is gref-whose kiss is sorrow

From a late London Paper.

The Ctameteoa.-One of these creatures which
so rarely live in our climate, and which when not
alive, logger possess that sngularity which con-
stitutes their value, is now exhibited at the house OF
a baker, in Fleet street, London. 1t is imported
from Sierre Leone, and is the only survivor out OF
a great number who were passengers in the same
vessel.-It is about nine inches long "from the tip
Of the snout to the end of the tall, and in all mate
rial points oilhe lizard form and species The first
peculiarly which strikes the spectator is the eye
The orb of sight is encased in spherical socket,
NOV cable in evely direction, and projecting so much
as 10 enable The animal to see on all sides and what
adds to this facility is, that one eye has no sympathy
with the other so that one can be shut while the
other is open, or one looking forwards while the 9th
er is looking backwards The appearance OF the eye
lis ye,y singular. Ii completely resembles gem
surrounded by slight ring Of gold, that 1t might
well be supposed to be really piece OF metal and
a precious stone The variations OF the hues over
the whole skin are rapid and surprising On plant
of delicate green, the chameleon is scarcely disn-
pushable from the plant itself on black it becomes
dusky; passing over grey 1t assumes again another
