WHAT! shall the Morning Post proclaim
For every rich or high-born dame,
From Portman Square to Cleaveland Row,
Each ltem-no one cares to know;
Print her minutest whereabouts,
Describe her concerts, balls and routs.
Enumerate the lamps and lustres,
Show where the roses hung in clusters,
Tell how the floor was chalk 'd-roveal
The partners in the first quadrllle--
How long they danced, till. sharp as hunters,
They sat down to the feast from Gunter's;
How much quart was paid for peas,
How much for pines and strawberries,
Taking especial care to fix
The hour of parting-half past ski
And shall no bard make Proclamation

MORNING MUSINGS.


When the stars shine but family,
And are vanishing away,
And the moon becomes paler
At TIE bright approach of day,
When the night-winds are quiet,
And the gentle morning breeze
Is lowering in silence
Around the budding trees;
When the birds are yet dreaming
And oil is calm and still,
Except yon little streamlet
That dances down the hill 4;
Then is the time TO wander
In the paths of solitude,
And dwell upon the kindness
OF the Giyer of all Good.

Il Ott, VA MOENS.
Oh weep not thus-we both shall know.
Ere long, u happier doom;
There is place of rest below,
Where thou and | shall surely 90,
And sweetly sleep, released from woe,
Low in the tomb.
My cradle was the couch of care
And sorrow rocked me 10 it;
Fate seemed her saddest robe to wear,
On the first day that saw me there,
And darkly Swallowed with despair
My earliest minute;
Fen then the grefs now possess.
As natal boons were given;
And the fir form of Happiness,
Which lowered round, intent to bless,
Scared with the phantoms Of DISTRESS
Flew back to Heaven:
For was made in joys despite,
And meant for Misery's slave,
And all my hours Of brief delight
Fled, like the speedy winds of night,
Which soon shall wheel their sulen flight
Across my grave.

Haven, Connecticut, from ST. Barts, ha, fur
nished the editor of the Columbian REGISTER
with the following account ola riot which &C.
CURED few days previous to his leaving there
which was on the 9Th August.
few days previous to leaving st. Bax,s. a
disposition evinced itself among the colored in.
habitants of the Island to break out in omen rc.
bellion. The cause which led to the manifesto.
ton OF this disposition, originated in an alterca
ton which took place between respectable
white gentleman, and colored man from one
of the Windward Islands, in which the Inter
was very insolent and clamorous The white
gentleman, not relishing his abuse, undertook to
chastise him, but was prevented by number
OF coloured men, who Immediately collected
and had it not been for the timely interpretation
of some white perseD, the consequences no
doubt would have been pretty serious to him.
n scuffc ensued between the parties-but no.
thing material occurred in this rencotre as the
militia TUNED out, and order was partially res
tored, the white inhabitants entertaining great
aPprehensions as to the pacific disposition of the
cooured people, who publicly declared their con-
tompt and defiance of the white people-apd, as
II more fully to impress it on their minds, a few
evenings after, similar alarm was spread
through the town, and and threatened to con-
clude in tragical manner, as revenge and muir
der might be depicted IN the counteaance of al
most every coloured man you met Several
were seen armed with swords and pistols, and
avowed their deadly purpose. The mob was so
great near Maj. Peluson's house, (under whose
command the white militia are placed) that all
the streets and avenues leading to it were
completely blocked up, mostly by negro men
and women, mulottoes, and Sambos, and few
white persons. About dozen men, composing
part of the militia, where there collected, with
muskets loaded and bayonets fixed, and every
moment appeared TO be vergiag to dreadful
catastrophe Several scufflcs had already ensu-
ed, in which blows from the fist had been given
and returned, and one coloured man stab bed IL
the arm with poiguard- also 4 musket and pis
tol had been snapped, neither of which fortu
nately went off, both were charged and mus
have proved fatal to those at whom they wer.
lovelled.
| Major Hosum, at present in command of the
Island, arriving at this iuncture, succeeded af
tcrsome time in dispensing the mob, but not til
every white person without exception, in un
form OF in citizens dress, was ordered hom
the coloured people refusing to dispense till tn
whites were ordered away and had left, TIL
Major imperiously ordered the militia and gen
tlemen volunteers away, conceding the point t
the coloured people, to tho discontinue Of tn
whites. Considerable apprehension still existed
among all cIeasses of the white poopeIe, VIII
complain bitterly at tho want of energy an
promptness in their government in treatin
these late disturbances.

EXTRAORDINARY SWIMMING Far
Dr Bedade, of whom most of our readers
VIII have heard as having accomplished
several ieats swimming, undertook on
Thursday se'nnight, for a wager of se2O
to swim three hundred yards in sixtv
strokes, in still water. Before common.
eng his swimming feat, the Doctor had
his feet tied together, and stick four feet
long, with flag at one end, put into each
hand. In this state he was rowed in a
boat into the middle Of the pond, and
thrown into the water, where he floated
A weight OF four pounds was then put up-
ON his chest, and he had intended to have
Heated to the shore in that way, but the
necessary motion oil his arms 70 propel him
to the shore dislodged the weight, and i,
sunk. 1t had remained, however, long
enough to convince the spectators that he
could have borne it. Afer he had floated
to the shore. he commenced his task of
swImming'three hundred yards in sixty
strokes and to the asonishment of the
spectators, who loudly cheered him as he
came in, he accomplished itwith great ease
IN 81 strokes, notwithstanding the disad-
vamage OF very shalowvater.
