Madame de Choiseul, who was in her youth
extremely intimate with Button, had imbibed
from that celebrated man strong taste for the
observation of natural objects. Her library
contained complete collection Of natural his

"There is an eventide in human life; season

Gays, and when the winter of age begins to

brings. The spring and summer of your days

Nassau, N. p. May l3.-By an arrival from
Key West, we learn that all Bahama vessels
have been ordered off from the coast of Florida,
and will not be permitted in future to fish or
turtle there. This order was promulgated by
Revenue vessel that had arrived from the North
ward-St. Augustine or Charleston; and it was
said 10 be in consequence of this port having
been closed against American trade, which Wiss
measure, SO far as we know, still continues in
force; the good effects of which will not be seen
until the meeting of the Legislature towards
the end OF the year, when the Treasurer's ac-
count Of the years revenue is seen; and when,
probably, it may be found necessary to again lay
tax on Colonial Salaries, in which case the
Custom House will have the laugh against the
former, as no Tar can be laid on the salaries Of
the latter, who are authorised to help ther-
selves first out Of the Revenue.

BRAZIL.

NeO York June 3.-The situation OF Brazil at
the present moment is, on several accounts,
very singular, and, we imagine, no less critical.
Barely holding out, at Montevideo, the defence
of fortress which is the last point she possess
es in the vast province she has so lately lost;
her feet, which was her chief dependence, no.
only disgraced, but threatened with defeat by
the expected Chilian squadron; her extensive
western frontier entirely open to the entrance
Of republican forces; large part of her popu-
laton Disguised with the emperor, and excited
by the examples around them, showing symp-
toms of rebellion occasionally, and apparently
waiting with anxiety for some great revolu-
tionary project, which there is reason to pre-
sumo will not be bng in maturing-such is the
situation of the country with regard to its mon
arch and its neighbours: and the danger to which
the present government is exposed is greatly
increased by the dcnise of the crown Of Por-
tugaI. In present circumstances it Can hardly
be supposed that Don Petlre will prefer Rio ia
metro TO Lisbon; and who can support his au-
thori,y in his absence? England will endeav.
our to preserve peace, but she cannot heartily
dsrelsh nor long prevent fundamental change
in the government.

What art not teach, what secret not DISCLOSE
Porter and Ginger the anxious bosom warns;
Porter impels the cowsrdly to arms.
What like spiced Porter does the wretch commend,
So sure comforer-so firm friendl
What miser tastes, but scorns the sordid ore,
opes his old purse and buys bottle more
Is there spell, by witch or poet sung,
So tips with eloquence the Statesman's tonsue'
And makes him, high on senate's bar reclned,
With fluent speech, pour out his teeming mind
Makes him with fist and mug, in hope elate,

Had yielded her first love-sigh there
This red leaf has touch'd Leila's-hp,
And this has fallen from her hair
Ay. fling the crimson leaves to float
Like kisses on the sunny vine
Hallow it with thy maiden's name
Drink thou thy pledge will drink NINE

Here drink to our own blue skies
Here drink to the Crescent's fall
Here drink to the Cross's rise
drink to the red pine Of War,
And to the olive green of Peace
Here's to Greece and its memories
And here is to the hopes of Greece!
Break, break the cup-no meaner pledge

And may its fragments emblem those

pleasant and the country remains healthy.
From the long continuance of drought, the high

extremely, and the rivers near Town are so
brackish that the Planters feel apprehensive in
letting in the water upon their Rice. The nav
