regret, that the remark is particularly applicable to ma
tive genius. For the sake ofthe unfortunate poet, in
whose behaIfthe work is published, and towards whose
reliefthe ayails of will be appropriated, if not for the
fame Of the author, we could wish that its sale and cir.
~culation may be equal to the merit Of the object and of
the performance"
The following is from the Portland Literary
Gazsle, a Journal whose opinions are entitled
TO weight.
"THE LAY OF GRATIruDE.- A poem entitled the
"Layo of Gratitude" h as been on our table the two
last weeks, a review of which will be published in our
next. 1t is from the pen of DANIEL Bn1AN, Esq. a
poet who has largely contributed to the columns of the
periodicals of the country, and whose productions
have been favorably received by the public. This
work is entitled to the patronage of a reading people,
and will, we understand, be found in our bookstores.
A review of it would have been given, at an earlier
day, had not the ssPopulous Village had a previous
claim on our attention"
In another part of this paper, will be found
the remarks Of the National Journal, which are
no less favorable to the poem, than will be
found to be just.
hemafnS OF commodore FSfTy.-h slip from
the Office of the Newport Mercury, dated Mon
day afternoon, Nov. 81, contains the following:
Arrived this afternoon, u. S. sloop Of war
Lexington, Capt. Shubrick, 81 days from Trini-
dad, with the remains of the late Com PERRY.
The Lexington arrived at Trinidad in II days
from New-York; remained there 4 days to re-
ceiyc the remains; and sailed again on the 5th
inst. for this port. Capt. Sbubrick favored US
with Trinidad papers TO the Sd inst. from which
we extract the following notice of the arrival
Of the ship
Trinidad, Noe. 3.-The US. Sloop Of war
Lexington, Capt. Shubrick, arrived in our har-
Dor on Wednesday afternoon, from New-York,
having been despatched by the American Co
vernment for the purpose of conveying The re-
mains of Com. Perry, from their resting place,
where they were deposited with every honor
that could be paid to departed worth in 1919,
TO the country which gave him birth. After
the customary enquiries, 4 salute OF II guns
was fred from the ship yesterday morning,
which was returned by theSeaFort. The remains
were disintered this morning, and after being
enclosed in a handsome coffin, were embarked
at the Kings Wharf, at 8 P. NJ. the ship firing
minute guns until the boats arrived alongside"

ty, coming as ii does TO us, under a proper
signature, is published.
To The Editor of the Mw- YORK. american.
Sir,-By the brig Tine, bound TO Boston,,
send you a copy of my protest or deposition,
drawn up by myself, detailing the capture OF
the brig Ruth, of Philadelphia, by a Brazilian
government vessel Of war.
The circumstance under which we were cap
tured, and the Infamous and atrocious treat
ment we have received, call loudly for redress.
We have been captured by a nation protesting
Christianity, whose people kneel at the altar OF
the Virgin, and hope for salvation. But !
doubt whether, (mnder similar circumstances
such acts Of atrocity are TO be found recorded
in the annals Of Turkish or Barbarian injustice.
In our country, the press is the great engine
which makes Senates stand in awe-lt Is the
guardian of our liberties at home and abroad:
and | hope, Sir, you will portray to the good
people Of the ~UnitedStates, this Infamous trans
action in the most glowing colours. Let exc
Grafton fall on the head Of this government and
its agents. l am, yours, SC.
