FIELD or BATTLE.
Wreck Of warrior pa5s'd away
Thou form without a name
Which thought and felt but Yesterday.
And dreamt of future fame
Strlpp'd Of thy garments who Shall guess
Thy rank, thy lineage, and thy race
II naughty chieftan holding sway,
pr lowher destind to obey
The light of that fX'd eve is set,
And all is moveless now,
But Passions traces linger vet,
And lower upon that brow
Expression has not yet wax'd weak,
The lips seem cen in act to speak,
And cIench'd the cold and lifeless hand.
As il it grasp'd the battle brand
The from that head, late towering high,
The waving plume is torn,
And low in dust that form doth lie.
Dishonor'd and forlon
Yet Deaths dark shadow cannot hide
The craven Characters Of pride,
That on the lip and brow reveal
The impress Of the spirits seal
Lives there a mother to dcpIore
ne son she ne'er shall see
Or maiden on some distant shore,
I Q break her heart for thee -
Perchancc to roam maniac there,
" lth wild flower wreaths to deck her hair,
And through the weary night,to wait
Thy footsteps at the lonely gate,
Long shall she Enger there in vain
The evening fire shall trim,
Ana gazing on the darkening main
Shall often call on him
Who hears her not-who cannot hear
Oh deaf forever is the ear
That once in listening rapture hung
tponthc music Of her tongue
Long may she dream-to wake IS wo -
Ne'er may remembrance tell
Its tale to bid her sorrows flow,
And hope to sigh farewell
The heart, bereaying Of its stay,
Quenching the beam that cheers her way
along the waste oflife-till she
shall lay her down and sleep like thee

MY BOYS GRAVE.

MY BOYS GRAVE.
We visited thy grave, my child
Last night, thy mother and L,
we saw it clad with spring flowers Wild,
The bed where thou dost lie.
WE thought Of all that's bright and fir,
As false and fleeing too;
We look'd on thy grassy turf, and there
We saw that death is true.
And memory told Of every smile,
Each look was dear as ever;
Time may mothers grief beguIc,
Blot out that look 20 never
Ills hers within the hearts recess,
To all but heaven unknown
70 cherish its image and to bless
The spotless cherub flown.
We had mark'd thy beauties stealing on,
AS we nourished the tender flower
We, Trembling, lov'd our little one,
For frail is childhood's hour.
And as we kiss'd thy infant brow,
And clasp'd thee oft, the fear
Of parting, wrung our bosoms, but now
lis oYer,-thou art not here

Call thee to sport on thy rainbow wing
Spirit Of Beauty the air is bright
with the boundiess flow Of thy mellow LIGHT
The woods are ready to bud and bloom.
And are weaving for Summer their quiet gloom;
The tuited brook reflects, as i flows,
The tips Of the halt-unopened rose,
And the early bird, as he carols free.
Sings to his little love and thee

From the oozy meadow, that drinks the tide,

Wake to a new and fresher birth
The tendercst tribes Of teeming earth.
And scatter with light ard daliving play
Their earliest flowers in the ZephVr's wav.

For the long boughs bend with a Silent Sweep.
And bls rapid steps have hurried DER
The grassy hills to the pebby shore;
And now, on the breast Of the lonely lake,
fhe waves in sllvery gances break,
Like a short and quickly rolling sea,
When the gale first feels I'LL liberty,
And the flakes Of foam, Ike rourscrs, ran,
Rejoicing beneath tic critical sun
We las crossed the lake, AHA The forest heaves
70 the sway Of his wings its billowy leaves,
And the downy tufts Of the meadow fv
In snowy clouds, as he passes by,
And softly beneath his noiseless tread
The odorous spring grass bends its head
And now he reaches the woven bower,
Where he meets his own Beloved flower.

TO \ LADY CAREssING a BIRD.

GA, would were that favor'd bird
Thy nectar then I'd sweetly Sip,
Picking At each endearng word
E'er it could leave thy rosy lip
Whilst to enhance the bliss, each while
I'd hop away to view thee then
Chipping at ev'ry play full guile
To lure me to thy lips again
And oh when thou wouIdst near to death
Press me to those sweet lips and eyes;
How wildly would drink the breath
I'd yield thee back in broken signs
And when my soul was drunk with bliss,
I'd, reeling, strive TO be more bIest.
And stealing one last madd'ning kiss,
Fall t1uttring on thy snowy breast
And waking, | would sing the love,
The impassion'd love | felt for thee;
And thou shouldst love me far above
The rival beaux who'd envy me.
But shouidst thou to some favor'd beau
Return soft responsive sigh,
'Twould grcve my little fond heart So
'Twould break it--ar I'd die-Pd die.

Boston Aug. l2-We have received
a file of the Spectator Oriental to May
26th. These papers do not contain
any later intelligence from the Egypt
an army in the Morea, than we have
before received, but they afford infor-
nation Of some events which had not
before come to our knowledge. There
is no very satisfactory information of
the nature of the confagration and ex-
plosion at Modon, On the night of May
l3. II is stated that Old Navarin be-
ing occupied by the troops of Ibrahim
Pacha, no assistance could be afforded
by the Greeks to the citadel of Navarin
either by land or sea, and that it had
offered to capitulate on condition that
the troops Of the garrison should be

paid the arrears of their wages; should
be permitted to carry away their effects
to march out with their arms; and to
go away in European vessels. Ibrahim
consented to the two first conditions,
but refused the two last. The final re-
suit was not known. Ibrahim appears
TO have been surrounded by a strong
force, well provided. The third divis-
ion, consisting of the reinforcements
from Egypt, but last from Gambia,
reached Modon, on the I'd Of May, in
a Hee! Of a hundred and ten vessels.
1t is stated that the Greek government
had released Coloco,roni, and that he
had arrived at Napoll di Romania. 1t is
fully confirmed that Ulysses had deser-
ted the Turks, and given himself up to
the Greeks. We shall give some fur

E FROM EUROPE.

LA ESl TtOOi Goho IL.
The ship Courier, Wallace, arrived
at New-York from Liverpool, sailed on
the Esd of July. She brings no intelli-
gence of the Liverpool cotton market,
and only one newspaper was received
BY the New-York Gazette. A London
price current, Of July 10, says that 5000
bags of cotton were sold the previous
week, chiefly Surats, at SD to l63d.
Hops were l4i. LIS. to 49, l8s. but RAJ
Their heavy. A reduction Of duties on
hemp, dyewoods, ashes, birthstone,
olive oil, and other articles had taken
place.
Mr.. Canning had nearly recovered
from his indisposition.
An earthquake at A!giers, July 2, did
no mischief al that place, but destroyed
the town Of Belida and half its inhabi-
tants.
Accounts from the Morea to June 10
confirm the destruction Of 20 or 80
Turkish transports, 2 frigates and 8
corvettes, by the GSeeks, at Modon.-
The Greeks also gained a victory over
the Turks under the captain Pacha, be-
tween the island of andre and Cape
Doro on the Negropont, on the first Of
June. The Turkish feet consisted Of
SO sail, including vessels with amuni-
ton. The Greeks commenced the at
tack by sending ont two brulas, which
succeeded in burning a large razee OF
66 guns and 800 men, and a new COR
vette of SO guns and 800 men. The
Greeks having completely succeeded
in breaking the Turkish line, about 90
sail made for Carlisle on the N~egropont.
S~tacktoni, Of the Cd division, continued
to pursue the captain Pacha, who with
the part Of the fleet he had remaining,
made off for Suda, where he found the
fleet of Ibrahim Pacha; he was SO much
ashamed of what had befallen him here,
that he reported to lbrahim Pacha in
Suda, that prior TO this he had proceed
ed against and snbdued Samos, and put
all the Austrians under arms. This
was a mere fabrication, as every thing
was perfectly quiet there, and the in
habi,ants were perfectly prepared for
what might happen. A Turkish cor
vette, one Of the feet, finding them
selves closely pursued, ian their vessel
on shore near the mouth of the harbor
syria, and set fire TO her. A part Of
her crew were sen as prisoners OF war
to Napoli di Romania; a great many,
however, fell victims to the enraged
Greeks, who massacred them in the
streets. There were several Europeans
on board, who shared a like fate; and
among the rest, a young Jew boy, who
was given up to the populace and lite
rally cut to pieces, they declaring that
they would make public examples of
all who fell into their hands. There
are several Americans in the Greek SER
vice, of whom they speak in highterms.

The change in Flour has been inconsidera-
bic since Friday. Yesterday and Saturday.
the market was steady al SIS, except a load or
two of choice qualities which sold a few cents
higher. The quantity arriving is smaller now
and has been for several weeks, than at the
corresponding time in any previous year, for
many. Every description of Grain is in brisk
demand and bearing good prices. Wheat
continues in the neighborhood of ninety cents,
and coming in well. The quality generally
is very superior; occasionally, however, we
find parcels much injured by weevil. Corn IS
plentiful, yet the demand is good and the
price a little advanced. Six cargoes were in
market yesterday, several of which, brought
46 to AZ cents. The advance of price to the
North, owing to the remarkable short crops
from the drought, has probably infuencedthe
article here, and we think will carry it a few
cents higher. Rye and Oats are unusually
scarce. We quote the first at IS cents, but
large parcela, tits thought, would command
40. The last sales of Oats was 80 cents.
