written inaugural address, in which
Mr.. Breese declares his good opinion o.
the present administration Of the Gene.

state party matters. The mechanical
execution Of the paper is neat and &C.
curate $50 that it is, both in its edi-
torial and typographical departments,
creditable to the State.
We accept the terms offered by Mr..
Breese; and doubt not we can Jog on CO.

skill and judgment with the people,"

Difficult. TO do it correctly. There are at
least one hundred and ninety. Adding
to this number those of Fort ST. Philip,
and under the works OF the garrison, and
reckoning those which have already been
got off, the total of stranded vessels,
square and lateen rugged, is supposed to
have amounted to two hundred and iorly'
To these are further TO be added, those
that foundered, the number OF which is
not yet known, it is feared will be found
to be considerable.-The dead bodies
picked off the beach are already very nu-

many more under the vessels bottoms.

coed TO consider the expediency OF APP
pointing ministers to attend the Congress
a, Panama, until it can receive the inior-
nation necessary to enable 1t to deter
mine whether the consideration OF that
question ought to be with open or closed
doors.-On the question VIII the De-
nate agree to this amendment to the pro-
posed amendment" division oil the
question was called for, and II was taken,
on striking out, and determined IN the
afirmative-Yeas 27, Nays II.
On the question to insert the amend
ment last proposed, it was determined IN
the negative--Yeas Is, Nays 81.
The question recurring on the adop-
ton of the amendment first proposed to
the original motion, amended by striking
out the last clause-on the question
Win the Senate agree to this amend
meni," division of the questions was
called for; and on the question to strike
our the original motion alter the word

was determined in the aflirmative--Ye cas-
81, Nays 10.
On the question to insert the propos-
ed amendment, it was determined in the

So it was Rescued, That, although
the Senate cannot find, in the answer OF
the President of the Unied States TO
their resolutions of the 18th inst.
relative to the proposed mission to
Panama, any distinct information that
the publication OF the communica-
tons, alluded to in said resolutions,
would or would not be prejudicial TO ex-
is,ing negotiations, they find strong OBJ
lection, on the par, OF the President, to
the publication OF those communications,
inasmuch as they were made in conn
depce, and most OF them in compliance
with a resolution OF the Senate request
ing them con6dentially And although
the Senate have the right 10 publish
communications SO made, and 10 discuss
The same with open doors, without the
assent Of the President, when, in their
opinion, the public interest may require
such publication aud such discussion,
they 90 not think That present circum-
stances require The exercise oil this right,
SO far as respects a discussion oil those
confidential communications with open
doors.

There is more spirit, poetry and satire contained
in the annexed address to Roman Skeleton, than
is generally found in the dull ploddngs Of classical
pretenders. We publish it, for the sake ofshowins
that who has managed to get through with
what is commonly called a classical course Of edu-

And quite bespatter'd with the thing called glory

And this could once support massy shield,
BY which thine own might sometimes be defend

When foes with foes were in one battle blended.

Some pretty anecdotes OF julius Cesar,
Which he himself thought proper to conceal
His "table-talk" would be precious treasure,
And give publisher deal of pleasure.

To see the vast the mighty alteration,
Since Taxlmoguus was Kug OF Kent

Five hundred men, without exaggeralion.
We use no arrows now-they are mere toys,
With reverence be it spoken-mighty Roman,
We give them to our roguish little boys;
And exc your "toga," we have given to woman,
As an hablliment becoming no man
We have no Druids-.they dead and gone,
Their groves are vanished, and their oaks are

Except the ruins Of rocking stone,
Few remnants of their rites are to be got in

MISCELLANX.
A LEGEND OF THE RHINE
FROM THE GERMAN.
CONCLUDED.l

CONCLUDED.
Hubert looked around and saw nothing,
and wondered within himself what bird 1t
could be that sung more sweetly than the
nightingale; and there were some young
peasants from Oberwesel amusing them
selves in boat near the shore, and he
heard them exclaim one to another, " that
is Loreley," he called out to them, and
said, ," am the Paiatne's son, and would
fain take row by moonlight; approach,
therefore, and ferry me over" and he
leaped into the boat with his bow and ar
rows in his hand, and his locks floating in
the wind: Grow me to the rock where
Loreley SINGS" cried he--"now away that
| may see the beautiful Loreley." The
young rowers pulled from the shore, and
soon pointed out to him the rock from
whence the voice proceeded; and there
stood the nymph all dazzling in the moon
light, twining through her golden hair a
garland of water flowers and rushes, ga
thered from the Rhine, and singing un-
ceasingly the same notes, "Loreley, Lor-
eIey."
"Take me over, take me over," cried
Hubert, impatienty, but the rowers told
him that compliance with his wishes
might prove fatal to him; and still kept
near the shore. "rhen let it be my death, !"
cried he, cor else let me reach thee,
beauteous maiden, never to part from thee
more," and again he conjured the young
men to proceed, and assured them that he
had been sent by his father to take the
nymph prisoner, and had come for that
purpose armed with his bow and arrows.
AT length they agreed to ferry him across,
and they ploughcd their way through the
deep waters; there was Kissing and foam
ing round the oars, and already the nigh
ty rock stretched its broad black shadow
across the boat. Once more the rowers
paused, and esayed to divert the youth
from his purpose. The song had now
ceased, and the beautiful Loreley stood at
the edge of the water, looking out as if
through a mist, with her eyes beaming
brightly, and her long hair descending to
her feet. The young men urged Hubert
10 prott by so favorable an opportunity,
and take aim at the sorceress; but he seiz-
cd his bow and dashed it from him into
the water; calling out, L" Fear not, thou
