The captain GARTH who is mentioned in
the English newspapers as having eloped
with lady Ashley, is an illigitimate son of one
of the princesses, daughter of the late, and
sister to the present king Of England. He
was born at Weymouth, which it will be re-
membered was a favorite summer retreat OF
George Ill and his family. General Garth,
his reputed father, was in attendance upon
the king constantly, and was great favour
ite with him. At the time the young captain
was born, the general was at least so years
of age. He however, acted as his foster fa-
ther, and had the care of his education and
bringing up. The general lived at place
called Piddletown in Dorcetshire, about 10
miles from Weymouth, where the young cap
tain. at the age of from IS to 18. during
which time he was we'll known to the writer
of this paragraph, lived in great style. keep
ing his servants, race horses, and hounds.
Though he was frequently called Garth,
and used toItalk about the general. yet he no
less frequently was accosted by his familiars
as "Toln King" in allusion to his connection

Gree. e.r.eat Of Sound.-An extract of ii
letter from a gentleman attached to the par
ty of Engineers engaged in the survey of the
canal from Baltimore to the Potomac, says
"On the afternoon OF Friday, the 8th inst. as
we were sitting near our tent, our attention
was reused BY loud explosion in the di-
rection of Baltimore. Several of the party,
who had once or twice heard the blowing up
of powder-mIl, agreed thatit was exactly
similar. and We we're induced to attribute it
to the same cause, but were at q loss to re-
collect any mill near Baltimore in the drec-
tion the sound proceeded from. Not hear
ing any such accident for some days we were
disposed to think it had been thunder, until
the account of the obstruction of the Eden
mill near Wilmington, and the exact coinei.
dencc of time left no doubt of the truth. The
distance, in strait line from Wilmington,
must have been from 80 to 80 miles"

Our fathers were free.born race
Of Heroes, and of warriors brave,
While Afric was their dwelling place,
Beyond the mighty Oceans wave,
There, happy in their native soil,
The forest fell beneath their stroke;
Contentment bless'd their daily toll:
They bow'd not to tyrant's yoke.
To Afpic's shores the white man came
Fair as an angel from above;
He boasted of the Christian name,
That teaches charity and love.
Our fathers, all his wants relieved,
And granted all that he could ask
But, ah! how little they believ'd
There lurk'd curse beneath that mask.
The man.thief rose at dead of night,
Lur'd by the greedy hope of gan:--
At Friendships altar burning bright,
He forg'd Expressions calling chain
No tie of kindred then was spard,
But infants from their mothers torn
And heads, by many winters sear'd,
To endless slavery were borne.

Oh! what was Britain's tyranny.
