MY India Maid, I've left my home,
And padded in my light canoe
Across the rapid river's foam,
And trod the wasteto fly to you.
But thus to gaze in fond delight,
Repays the danger OF my flight.
With thee the drcary deserts smile,
And trackiess hills seem rich and rair;
They need 40 bIooniiug hou,s TO vile
My wandering steps, while thou art there.
In thee alone to co. nbioe the sweets,
That lure me ia their hone retreats.
Oal fly ih me to climes arar,
The glow worms lamp shall be our guide,
And nations OF the western star,
Shall welcome home my Indian bride.
orival hunter of the deer
Dare stop thy path, while lam near.
My home is Ger yon azure lake,
The forest waves lis hnuyhs above:
Here life may calmly glide, and take
a fuil repast ofpcace and love.
And oh how dear my hu, shall he,
When thou art safe, and I with thee.
IN cross the mou ntsin's cracgy brows,
To storm the eoye,ts OF the bear,
And tread the gloomy Wales, tn rouse

And when the breeze orevcn fioate,

To hear the turtles piaiutive notes,

Whca murnuSins waiess, deep aud clear,

The daughters Of our tribes are hest
With ruby lips an. spark hngcyes.
But while thy Image hauuts my breast,
In vain the glance OF beauty hes.
Let other hearts their raptuoes own
Mine CLOVIS for thee and thee alone.
Then Gy with me, white night rc.iiacs
In sable pomp on woods and rills.

Where warrior bands shalt never roam

THE GALLEY SLAVE.
To the Editors ofthe National Intelligencer.

ANeLLtgeUCeT.
GENTLEMEN The accompanying is trans
lated from lively description of the depar-
ture, for their ultimate destination, Of a party
of those unfortunate individuals, whom the
laws of France doom to hard labour, or the
galleys. They are, from time to time, turn
ed over from the Courts which have passed
condemnation, to particular Jail, whence as
soon as a sufficient number have been gather
ed, they are sent in parties, as the one here
described to seapOrts, where they take the
dress and heavy irons they have to carry
during the whole term prescribed by the law.
The former is rcd dress and cap, for those
condemned for number of years and IA red
dress and green cap for the convict for life.
This account being characteristic Of the ma
tiOnal character, under the most distressing
circumstances. and showing the effect of the
French code Of law, as contra distinguished
from our penal laws, may not be uninterest-
ing to the phlanthropist. E.
"Some days previous, it had been announ-
ced at Bicetre. that the departure of the gal
ley slaves, for their respective destinations,
would soon take place. At IL O'Clock on
Monday, the news was confirmed. Those
who were to compose the gang were, accord
ingIy, assembled together. They descended
from their chambers into a yard at the fur
thest end of the establishment. There was
in readiness the travelling apparel. which is
made of coarse raw linen. Each of those de-
signated took his own. Agreeably to the pris-
on regulations, their heads must be shaved,
that it may be easier, in case Of evasion to de-
tect them. All had before hand taken this
precaution, and | have been assured that
they would have thought it an act ofthe bas-
est humiliation to have suffered it to be done
by strange hand.
After having, in the presence of Vidue, and
his agents made the inspection, the slaves left
their ranks, and advanced to the middle of
the square, where was placed alongside of an
anvil,a long wooden case. Here were placed
the manacles, which for time immemOriaI, have
served in succession to those whom the laws
send into solitude. #

GEORGIA ELECTIONEERING.

A traveller journeying throgh our State,
cannot help noticing the tipping shops scae-

that swarm around the doors, particularly on
muster, election or tax collecting day. The
whole stock of many of these magazines con-
ssts of few earthen jugs, cask of whisky
or peach brandy, and keg oftobacco some
times one may observe a few faded pieces Of
calico and a pair or two of shoes, but strong
liquor is the principal and most profitable
commodity, and is dealt out generally by the
half pint.
