Messrs. EDfToRs-Mr. Harkcr has more than
once asserted in his Gazette that the Me,hodlsts n

Formerly, when the minds of the coDtendng

racer Of the General had been stained with acts oil
cruelty; not merely against the enemy, who at one
period were pui to death when taken, as matter oil

men of great genius and violent passions, he is
warm friend and deadly foe. Many anecdotes are

bulls and particularly his singular amusement OF
encountering the csmn, or alligator, IN his own ell

ton OF courage, was in the capture by him and his
officers of Spanish armed schooner lying al anchor
in the Orinoco. This was effected by swimming
from the shore, each Of the party holding his sword
in his mouth.
The General is now (ls2S) about thirty hye years
old. Besides his military rank, he is Senator OF
the Republic. Although clothed with these high
civil and military empoyments, he Goes not hesitate
to engage in the most boysh pranks. On the exp

coast of Florida, where she has been on a survey
ing expedition under orders Of Government. The
Mary has been absent from this port about four
months, and has fully accomplished the business
tor which she chartered.
captain Hull commenced his survey at ST.
Johns, and proceeded up the River ST. Marys, some
sixty miles, from whence he pursued his surveys
along the Coast oi Florida. He was accompanied
oy Major PERAULT, of the United States Corps Of
geographical Engineers, the Commander Of ths
expedition. The surveys mads by the Mary and
er officers cannot fail be OF the utmost impor.
ters, which have heretofore been destitute of re-
sular survey.
Captain Hull reports that he found the shores Of
Florida, and the adjacent country, fertile and heal
Thy, and particularly adapted to the culture Of tho
roplcal plants and fruits. From this intelligent
gentleman, we also learn, that the landed claims
IN Florida, are extremely intricate, aud subject Ia
nnumerable disputes, and almost ceaseless liti.
cation. lie speaks in the warmest terms of the
china te soil, and productions of Florida, and thinks
that nothing can retard It's rapid population, but
the sad condition OF the landed titles. These dif-
hcuit.es, have arisen from the diversity Of owners.
whose hands the titles have fallen, and from
the conflicting Interests ofprvate spec9lators.

the Warehouse. were either burnt or destroyed;
besides some eighteen or twenty rear tenements,
such as kitchens and stables, DINO great value
on the North side, the Office of Mr.. P,LLsBo-
po,rGu was consumed The Jail was several
times on fire, but owing to the wa,chfulness OF
the Sheriff and his assistants, we understand
that no damage was done to it. The fire was
subdued about two, O'Clock. A portion Of the
loss sustained as well in goods and furniture, as
in the houses destroyed, will be made up by in
surance. Only two hhds. Of Tobacco were burnt
in the Warehouse. The Engine Companies
and Citizens generally deserve much praise for
their alacri.v in obeying the earliest summons
of the alarm bell, for their haste in repairing to
the spot, and unwearied exertions afterwards.

Thy gentle spirit now recall,
To pine on earth with me;

Oh what are they, blest Saint. to thine?
know not if the bright above
Look down on those they lov'd below;
1t aught that once was earthly love
In angel breasts Insy glow;
For, could they mark the countless woes
Which those, once most BELOVED, must bear,
'Twould he thorn in Eden's rose
A chill upon the joy that glows
With quenchless transport there =;
A lingering faint of earthiiness,
Where all beside is formed to bless.
Then--though never can forget
By thee forgotten would be,
Ere aught of fond. though vain regret,
Should break thy rest for me
And this shall be my solace--,his
