ed with having been engaged in the Patriot SER

To the attention of captain Claxton, of the
schooner Leo, al this port yesterdy from Mas
sau, the editors $ the Baltimore american are in
debted for file tf the Nassau Royal Gazette
to the 10Th inst inclusive. The following is
the only item ofeuficient interest to be extract
ed:---
Nassau, .4priI Eve have il not in our pow
er to inform our raiders here or abroad, in what
state this port maj now be considered as to the
admission of American vessels, although two
have lately arrived here. The sloop Agnes, OF
and from New York, June, master, entered the
harbor between eleven and twelve o'clock on
Sunday last This vessel was last from the
Port of EXuml, where she was freely admitted
to entry, and Eleared for this place; but on her
arrival here Mas seized by the collector Of the
customs, and some proceeding commenced a.
painst her, thich was afterwards relinquished
on payment IF the expenses incurred by the Sci
cure. She tas permitted by his honor the Pre-
sident to col he TO an entry, which, however, the
master declbed, and sailed the following day
for some otter market.
The other American is the schooner Ardent,
from Philadelphia, which also arrived OIL Sun
day; but previous to entering the harbor, receiv-
ed the permission Of his honor the President to
enter and sell hercarg These are the facts as
stated to US, with regard TO these two vessels,
from which pers,ns may draw their own infer
ences, as to the Omission of others in future. .
Nassau, april The schooner Frances, of
Boston, john Ots, master, from ST. Thomas
bound to Boston, has been wrecked on Eleuthe-
ra. Part of the cargo was saved and brought
to port, which, together with The vessels ma
teras, has been seized by the collector OF the

MY GRAND-FATHER'S LEGACY.

Never did look a spot SO melancholy in its
in the bosom of the rock, and fell into basin Of
rude unpublished stones the graceful Waterfern, and
moss of thousand hues, clothed the edges of the
dark reservoir, where, the stream entered, it
took bood-red tinge; two tall aspins trembled
above, if to warn the thirsty traveller from the
holy wave, and their white and sattn-like barks
back the moon-rays which fell not on the gloomy
water The old man was leaning on his staff, and
his dim eyes were turned eastward his long white
beard fell upon his breast, though his head was bald
save only where few grey hairs yet fingered near
his brow. fI will tell you the tale,' he said, and
brushed a tear from his furrowed cheek.
"Agatha = said voice-and the pride of our
ca,pton sprang towards the speaker She was beau

in spring, and innocent the lamb which the shep-
herd takes to his bosom shield it from the north

she stood beside this dark water at the bidding of
stranger Many had loved her, but she smiled on
each with the cold, placid smile of indifference, and
none could gain from Agatha aught more tender
than courtesy 1t was on day, cold and bleak as

In recommending to our readers perusal of the
letter on the first and second pages, we need only
say it is the subject of LOVE, that all-engross

have read have but to add. that it first APP
peared in sBlnckwood's Edinburgh Magazinae,'
from which it was selected for the s'Museum OF
Foreign Literature and Science" 1t is not of that
stale, fat, and Improbable" kind which is so Of
ten cast forth from the brain of sickly sentimental
lists, under the appelation of"Love Letters"
Communications for the GARLAND must be seated
and addressed to the Editor Writers who pursue
different course, exposing their paintings to pub
lie gaze need be surprised five treat them with
neglect for we are not so much in want Of aid, as
to stoop to receive it in every shape. Besides, We
would rather not know the authors. These remarks
do not apply to the ladies'. Those OF the other sex
who are unacquainted with common courtesy, IN
this respect, had better starry awhile at Jericho"
