COMMUNICATED FOR THE AMERICAN WATcHMAN
FRENCH SPOLIATIONS.-NO /.

1t is now nearly twelve years since the general
pachcation OF Europe, and whatever motives France
may have assigned during her mighty struggle for
empire, tor the various depredations committed up
on our lawful commerce, it might have been /.
peced that sufficient time had now elapsed 10 have
made some atonement for the reiterated violation of
our rights, as an independent nation II is not ia
tended here to discuss the question whether ENGLAND
or France, was the FIRST 10 wage war upon our com
merce. England by means of her formidable navy,
committed depiedations upon our trade al the very
entrance OF our harbots and blockaded our coast,
Alter many frultess appeals 10 her reason ard to
her justice we finally appealed to arms; and though
we procured no pecunafy satisfaction by war, yet
we obtained rich indemnity, in national gloy
we yanqulshed her upon an element that she mo-
dessly called her own; and if we remain but true TO
ourselves, we may venture to predict that the result
and consequences OF that war, will secure to us the
blessings OF peace during The existence OF The present
generation.
With France the case is widely different From
her we have obtained neither peculiarly indemnify,
nor acquired national rcnown. When we reflect
upon he numerous fragrant violations committed by
France upon our rights an independent nation ;
rights, not only protected by Ibc law, but guard
ed by solemn treaty stipuations we cannot for a
moment suppose that paternal government will
ever consent to abandon its citizens to the injustice
OF foreign power. That these aggressions were
not committed by the present government Of France,
is question with which we have no concern. as M
principle OF public law is more universally acknow,-
edged, than hat which makes the soil responsible
Tor the acts OF those who exercise sovereignty over
1t. Having paid considerable attention to the sub
jcct OF our claims upon France purpose, occasion
ally to transmit to You some observations relative
thereto, combining myself to events which have &C
Cured since The peace Of Amlens.

PRAYER.

The smiling sky is ever bright,
The earth is fair with flowers,
There comes no night, there falls no blight
On chlldhood's blissful hours;--
Then pray-lIeaven sees no sight so fair
As happy childhood bowed in prayer.
The summer dew, the rainbow's hue
Are pure and lovely things
And youth hath dreams as lovely too,
As pure imagnings;--
They pass away, they pass away
what charm can stay them Kneel and pray
Then comes the time Of busy schemes,
And man must earn name;
Ills morning thoughts, his midnight dreams
Are wealth, and power and fame;
Heaven needs them not-one humble prayer
Would be better passport there.
Age, thou art winter, cold and drear,
Without the hope Of spring
Thy strength is gone, thy leaf is scar,
Thy root is whitening:
And earth has nothing worth thy care,--
let pray,-tor heaven is won by prayer.

THE CONTRAST.

10 his gallant horse the warrior sprung
They called and he would not stay,
And the hoofs of his hurying charger rung,
As to battle he rushed away.
She stood alofi on the warder's tower,
And she followed him over the plain,
And she watched him through many ssnt hour
But she heard not his tramp again.
They came, when the morning was cold and pale,
With warrior on his bier,
And his banner, rent like a tattered sail,
Showed he died not the death of fear
They brought him in pride and sorrow, back
To the home he had left so gay,
When he CALAMITY few on glory's track,
And to battle rushed away.
