in this proceeding, and the friend Of his country will
reject the suspicion of the fact suggested by a

THE PLAGUE AT FLORENCE. By the late Charles Ed,DardS, Esq.

The weather during the whole of the spring and summer preceding the visitation, had been unusually close and sultry. Foul and offensive exhalations had proceeded, in a remarkable degree. from all pools, and fens, and marshes, in the neigh borhood of the city. The bed of the ArnO, though afterwards replenished by sudden and heavy rains, had at one period sunk lower than the oldest citizen ever remembered to have seen it. Insects, moreover, in all fields and gardens, had appeared in numbers quite unprecedented; so as even, in many places, combined with the effect oft the drought, to destroy vegetation. And-a circumstance which still more attracted nOtice-the rats, both in the houses of Florence, and in the farms in the neighbouring villages, multiplied with such rapidity, and to such an excess, that, all temporal remedies being found una valing, it was thought necessary to have re- course to the aid of the Church, and formally to ercou1nt,L,licdte them. The success Of this extraordinary measure, or how far it operated at all, does not appear; hut the fact of its be-
 ing applied, is distinctly stated in all the chron icles of the time. Notice was formally read, in open church, against the rats; that, unless they withdrew from all houses, wheat stacks, barns or granaries. in Florence and the vicin ,ty. within four days from the date of those presents, process of " deprivation" would be issued against them. And curious feature in the superstition ot the times, vas, that the officer of the spiritual court, appointed to maintain the interests of all "non-appearinG defendants" interfered for tue ratS, and actu- ally obtained leave to " enlarge the rule" for their departure from four days to six on the ground that the cats of the city, knowing oi the order, would be upon the watch to inter- .cept them.
 During a considerable time, however from whatever cause the distemper in Florence

THE NOTORIOUS "JOE BETTYS."
 On the celebration of the birth day of Washington, as noticed in our last, after the regular toasts were drunk, number of pat riotic volunteers were given; among oth- CTS, the names of Paulding, Williams and Van Vert, the captors of Andre, were men, toned in grateful remembrance-upon this an old revolutionary solder proposed as a sentiment
 The memory of Fulmer, Cory and Per- kins-who, by most gallant attempt, a. chieved at the peril of their lives, the cap- ture of that daring traitor ana spy, Joseph Bettys.
 The venerable Col. Ball, President of the Day, then rose and begged leave to mention few facts in relation to Bettys, and his capture, and as nearly as we can recollect, the substance was as follows: "During the war of the revolution, was an officer in the New-York forces, commanded by Col. Wynkoop. Being ac- quainted with Bettys, who was citizen of Ballston, and knowing him to be bold, ath- letic and intelligent, in an uncommon de- gree, l was desirous of obtaining his servi- ces for my country, and succeeded in en- listing him with the command of sergeant; :; he was afterwards reduced to the ranks on account of some insolence to an officer. who he said abused him without a cause. Know ing his irritable and determined spirit. and unwilling to loose him, procured him a sergeancy in the fleet commanded by Gen. Arnold (afterwards the traitor) on Lake Champlain in '76. Bettys was in that des- perate fight which took place in the latter part of that campaign. between the Brit ish and American fleets on that lake, and being skilful seanen, was of signal ser vice during the battle. He fought until every commissioned officer on board his vessel was killed ar wounded and then as-

THE SPIRIT OF DESIGNATION.

THE SPIRIT OF DESOLATION. There is dark appalling gloom That hangs OCT life's declining. When hope is trembling OCT the tomb, Where not flower is twining; And mid that gloom spirit regns In cheerless devastation,
 And chants her wild bewiIdered strains--- The Spirit of DesoIation. She looks upon the smile of bliss, And turns that smile to sadness She looks on friendships rapturous kiss, And mingles it with madness; And in the heart where love has flown And hope and consolation, She breathes her low despairing moan The Spirit of Desolation. And where pale sickness sheds her blight, With tlreless rage consuming, The form that late was fair and bright In beauty's glory blooming; She loves to stand around and lend Some thought of aggravation, And bid some pang the lone heart rend,- The Spirit of Dissolution. She's seen amid the battles roar On sable pinions flying, And sheds her glance of horror OCT The fallen and the dying. When through the city rings the cry Of midnight conAagration, She hovers in the lurid sky, The Spirit of Desolation. She rides upon the winters storm In all its wild commotion, And oft her lone and spectral form Sweeps OCT the waves of ocean; And oft on Norway's icy shore, In stern exasperation, She plunges mid the Maelstrom's roar, The Spirit of Desolation. She kindles the volcano's flame, And while its path pursuing, She writes her own terrific name In characters of ruin. Amidst the earthquakes direful crash , She claims her habitation; Or hurries down the cataract's clash, The Spirit of Desolation. Wide OCT the Arabs plains of death She sweeps the sandy pillow, Or sheds the Smoon's poisonous breath Around his midnight pillow; She raises Greenland's hills ofsnow, And from their elevation Browns on the icy fields below, The Spirit of Desolation.-
