ELEGY,

On the disinterment of the remains of Com. o.
II. Perry, by an officer the Lexington.
From his lonely grave by the sea washed sand
To the cline of his fame VIC bore him,
For he could not rest in a foreign land
With the red cross waving o'er him.
So we covered his breast with the stars Of light;
In the flag that he loved so dearly,
When he met the proud foe in his might,
And the battle followed cheerly.
With mourning flag hslfmast displayed,
We reused our drums to meet him,
And fore and aft we stood arraycd,
With minute guns to greet him:
While memory showed him ever nigh
"A he looked when fanl.. had crowncd him,
With victory bcsming from his eye,
And freedom cheering round him.
Like some bright flower that meets its doom,
Where the scorching winds have hasted;
Like some young pine whose mountain bloom,
The bolts of Heaven have wasted
So fell the beautiful and brave,
In the :cnith of his glory,
With nations tears to wet his grave,
And embaln his name in story.
Then strew his bier with early flowers,
And wave the la,rel DER him,
who made the seas proud Mistress "ours,'
What none had done before him.
Let ocean hear and roll along,
Till winds and floods are weary;
While music wakes the chords OF song,
For the Hero OF Lake Erie.

ROTATION OF THE EARTH.

There are many indications that power
full current has passed over the continent of
America from north to south, and the anthor
of this article accounts for these appcaran-
ces, by supposng that change has at some
period taken place in the velocity of tho
earth's motion on her axis. The surface
of the earth at the equator revolves at the
rate of more than 1000 miles per hour. or
1900 feet per second, which is about the
velocity of cannon ball. We have no idea
of circular motion like this. A wheel OF
wrought iron, of three feet in diameter, will
fly in pieces before it reaches velocity OF
400 feet per second. Supposing the earth
should be slightly checked in her daily mo-
tion-the Pacific ocean would in moment
rush over the Andes and Alleghanies into
the Atlantic--the Atlantic would sweep
over Europe, Asia and Africa--sud in few

THE WEST INDIA TRADE.

The period is now at hand when the Brit.
ish ports in the West Indies are to be clos
ed to our shipping, and when of course our
ports will be closed to British shipping,
from, or going TO, the Islands. The Boston
Commercial Gazette surmises, we observe,
that Mr. Gallatin's visit to Paris may have
some connection with this vexed question.
This surnise is. we are persuaded, errone-
GUS. Mr., Gallatii's visit was unquestiona-
bly, one of private convenience and choice,
made at a moment when, according to i'm
memorial usage, there is cessation OF ac
tive business among the English Ministers.
A desire, indeed, to see how MIR. Canning
might be received, and how employ himself
in the French metropolis, may have added
some considerations of a public nature, to
those merely personal, but as to any official
cause for the visit, we feel satisfied none
such existed. Nor do we think any instruc-
tions Mr.. Gallatin may, or ought to have,
likely to produce the result that some OF our
contemporaries seem to think so desirable, OF
an arrangement upon terms with England
of the trade in question.
This country has from its earliest career
had but one general principle OF foreign COM
mcrcial intercoursc-that OF entire recipro-
city. This principle it has sought for years
to introduce into the West India trade, but
without success. This principle it is still
willing to abide by; but it must in truth and
in fact be reciprocity-not the mere name
of jt-and it must be established by treaty,
and not be dependant on acts Of Parliament,
over which we have no control, in the franz
ing Of which we have no voice, and which
may be at any time repealed at the pleasure
of the party making them. 1t has been Of

CANARIS.-The Oriental Spectator pays

brave Greek Captain. After mentioning the
presentation to him by the Greek Committee
of Paris, of seal, valued at $500 trancs' on
which is represented hand with torch
setting Ere to a ship, and of superb ana ex-
cellent musket, presented by the maker AT
Paris; this paper adds-"rhe enthusiasm IN
favor of Canaris is general. and it is deserv-
ed. In the midst of all the black visages,
which form the picture of the Greek reyolu-
ton, Canaris appears like one of those an
tique heads. whose admirable features serve
to this day, as models. The Turks them
selves esteem and admire this brave mari
ner. and posterity, which will judge in very
different manner the general character and
the details of this revolution, will record IN
its immortal pages, the courage, the patriot
ism and the disinterestedness of Canaris."
