Inauguration Cannot paint that spot,
Aruuld d, above, beneath, where Thou art not
Before the glad stars hlinr'd to newborn Earth,
Or young Creation reveil'd in its birth,
Thy Sprt moved upon the pregnant deep,
Unchan'd the waveless waters from their sleep,
Babe Times majestic wings to be unfurl'd,
And out OF Darkness drew the breathing World.
Ere matter form'd at Thy creative tone,
Thou vert Ompfc, Endless, and Alone;
In Thine own Essence, all shat was to be-
Sublime, unfathomable Deity,
Thou said'st-and 10 an universe was born,
light hashd from Thee, for its birthday mcrn.'
A world unshrouded, all its beauty now!
The youthful mountain reard its naughty brow,
Flowers, fruits and trees felt instantaneous life,
And Ocean cllafed her billows into strife!
And next, triumphant DER the green clad earth,
The universal sun burst into birth,
And dashid from of his altitude sublime,
1he FIRST dread ray that mark'd commencing time.
Last the moon--and the array of stars
Wheel'd round the heavens upon their burning cars
But all was silent as a world of dead,
Till the great Deep her living swarms ouspread!
Forth from her teaming bosom, sudden came
Immngied monsers-mighty without name;
Then plumy tribes, wing'd into being there,
And played their gleamy pinions on the air.
Till thick dews upon twilight, green,
Earth's living creatures rose upon the scene!
And now the gorgeous universe rife,
Full, fresh, and glowing with created life
And when tn Eternal from his starry height
Beheld the young world baskng in his light,
And breathing incense of deep gratitude
lie bess'd it, for his mercy made it good!
Creations masterpiece breath of God,
Ray of His glory, quicken'd at His nod,
Immortal Mancame next,-dvinely grand,
Glorious and perfect from his Makers hand
Last, softly beautiful as Musics close,
Angelic woman into being rose!
And thus, Thou vert, and art, the fountain soul,
And countless worlds around Thee i've and roll;
In and shade, in and in air,
Different, though never lessend-every where,
All life and motion from Thy source began,
from worlds to atoms, angels down 10 man!

A careful examination Of the accounts of
Earthquakes that have been recorded by an .
cicnt as well as modern authors, has enabled
philosophers tn form certain general rules or
deductions; which il is now intended 70 state,

that none of them are considered as being ex>

subject TO various exceptions.
"ls,. Those coun ri*s which are within the tro-
PEE, Or mol very far from them, are more sub

FORTUNATE ESCAPE.

Yesterday we published the names Of several
Americans who were confined on board the
Brazilian Prison ship at Rio Janciro. We have
seen Mr.. Ramsay, one Of The sufferers, who was
captured in the Pampeyro: some months since,
with Captain Chase, and who, after several
months Imprisonment, under the most painful
circumstances, succeeded, with several others,
in making his escape. Mr.. K. came passenger
in the ship London Packet, arrived at this port
yesterday. The account he gieeo Of his escape
is extremely in errsling, He states, that the
treatment he aud his fellow sufferers expcrien-
ced was excessively harsh; their allowance per
day being ID. OF beef ib beans, and the
same quantity Of Farina, nominally, but in fact
nothing like that quantity, owing to the impo.
si,ions pr1ctised by those through whose hands
i, was furnished. He says the escape Of him.
self and friends was planned and talked OF some
days previously 10 It's execution, & propositions
were made to the other prisoners 10 Join in il,
5ut they declined A paper was drawn up ant
signed by those engaged in the enterprise,
binding themselves to succor each other, in
case Of need, and stating that the signers we're
the only persons engaged in the plan. The ar
rangement was, TO take possession Of the boat
at the Time ii should be brought 10 receive the
guard, whose duty il was, during The night, to
row round the ship. Al the moment The boat
was brought alongside, by TWO boys, Mr.. AL
media. (son Of Capt. Almeida, formerly Of
piacel asked his companions ifthey were ready,
and being answered in the Affirmative, slipped
down into her by means Of rope, and Was fol-
lowed by the other nine. They had pulled a
way from the ship the distance Of about fifteen
feet, when two Frenchmen, who we're also pri-
soners, jumped from the guard-shiP into the
water, and were drawn into the boat. Owing,
as is supposed, to the confusion that took place
when their escape was first observed, the guard

" that even the Father of Lies was not the Father of
Liars Upon some of the Pennsylvania and Ken
lucky members, however, who had sneered at" Yam
Ike notions,' he was still more severe. He carried
the war into Kentucky and Pennsylvania. Every
moment while on this topic, he electrified the House
with flashes of wit and satire. In some passages of
the speech, he rose to the lofty and command
ing eloquence. At the close, Mr. Burgess declar-
ed his intention to vote for the BILL as it was
1t had an aptitude to evil and little good But as it
promised good, and as many in the North andWest,
some in the East and some in the South, wished for
it, he would not, by his vote, aid in defeating their
wshes.-Mr. Burgess is one of the most accomplish
ed scholars and orators of this country In some
points particularly in sharpness and readiness of
wit-he is not surpassed. He is spoken ofas ''ve-
ny old man." His appearance indicates great age /;
the crown ofhis head is bald and his scattered hair
is grey. He also in speaking, has habit of bend
ing forward. But Notwithstanding these appearan-
ces of age, he is only ty-eight years old. On a
near approach and close perusa, you perceive in
his face. of the features expressions of old
age. His voice is strong, clear and we'll modulated
He speaks deliberately and emphatically; and his
cadence, unlike that of most of our modern orators
is very pleasing, and very audible. He gesticulates
great deal and his gestures are graceful and strlk
ing. On the whole, heis one of the most agreeable
and expressive speakers we ever had.-His elo
quence will form a new era in our Congressional his
