Bella! HJrriia leila!

MR. EDrroR-While Europe Is buried IN re-
nose. War has been prociaimed-not IN Alexan-
drs in Africa. bat in Alexandria IN America.
Our Bey, or Superintendent, has issued his pitu-
CLAMATION, declaring war, war az amer
niem, against Scotia's embiem--the Thistle.
This DESTROYING - KnigAt of the Thistle has
thrown CONSERVATION among the adopted natives
of that country. What! they exclaim, shall the
emblem of Scotla's banner-our I" Memo me- an
n,nae lacesss,," DO leyelled in the dust BY CON
;TR ACT by mercenaries, when Britain delights
10 honor American genius with medals, in the
,ersoa of a talented son, WASHING ON IRVINE?
The citizens r~espond-Shall it be proclaimed to
our country, far and wide. that a weed, the type
Of des0latiOn, overspreads our once 1ourishlng
Town? Shall ii be likened unto the ruins OF Fat
mvra. unto Tadmor in the desert. at the moment
that the energies Of the Inhabitants are aroused
by prospects so flattering, from the projected Ia
terra! Canal?
Thus. our Bey. by his Proclamation, has plac-
ed himself unhappily - between kawk and buzz
gard" In this his disconsolate state. | shall
offer to nv fellow-citizens a few verses on that
plant against which he wars, whose seeds nature
has formed to be waited on every breeze, as the
s0RS are borne TO every cline.
THE THISTLE.
,tLet Them boast of the country gave Patrick his fame
The lanl Of the Oak with it's Anglican name.
With their red bIushing roses and shamrocks so greens
Far d. srer TO me are the hills of the North,
The land of blue mountains, the birth place of worth;
Those mountains where Freedom has fixed her abode,
Those wide spreading glens " here no slave e'ertrode,
Where bloom the Wild heather aud Thistle so green.
rbouSb rich be the soil where blossoms the rose,
And Sieak the high mountains and covered With SHOWS,
Where rises the heather-the Thistle SO greens
ann
And courage so bold which no foe could Subdue,
Unmatched is our country, unrivalled our swans,
And lovely and true are the nymphs on our plains,
Where bloom the red heather and Thistle so green.
.Far.fam'd are our sires in the battles OF yore,
And many the cairnies that rise on our shore
o,er foes that invaded the TH,ste so green;
Yet many the cairnjes shall rise on our strand,
sboull the torrent Of war ever burst on our land.
Let foe come on foe, like wave upon wave,
Wen give them a welcome, we'll give them a grave,
Beneath the wild heather ard Thistle so green.
o. dear to our souls are the blessings of heaven,
The freedom we boast OF, the land that We live in,
The land &c red heather and 1Iisie so greens
For that land and that freedom our foretathers bled.
And We swear by tn. blood that our foretathers shed
That no foe shall e'er tread on their grave;
But the Yh.ste shah bloom on the bed OF the brave.
The 1Hists Of Scotia. the I1'stLs SO gleen!"

LINES. suggested on reading Captain Mackay's
touching account of the loss of the Ship Bos-
ION, which he commanded. and the subsequent
suferings of himself, passengers, and crew:
The morn Was fair, and the sun shone bright,
And We lay without a motion,
And our shin rrposed in the golden light,
Like = ses-5rrd asleep On the ocean.
Then the clouds arose like q fieecy nest,
And arch DER arch eemed bending;
And the Octa AN hove its iremulous breast;
Aud started like one in a troubled rest,
With awful dreams por;ending..
And the wind arose in gusty squalls =
V,til our masts seemed quiv.riug;
Then sgAin would hull in sudden falls,
Like one in al sgue shiverng.
And the thunder rolled in the frmsmen. high,
From cloud u cloud reboprding,
Aud its forked tongue Kissed most ~fearfully,
Our lated ship surrounding.
And she suddenly sprung Ike q wounded roe,
then mctiOnless lay on the bIlicw,
And her tst,ered rigging waved to and fro,
Like the leaves Of the weeping willow.
And the FIRE was here, and the fire was there,
There MAS IRE below, and DER US,
There Was fire sreund-snd the ligh,ning's glare
Shot fire thoughout the sulphury air
And the Ocean lrowned before us.
TIL n our boat was lowered with fearful speed,
And IL lay on the fosming waters,
I;ke a withered leaf, or a broken reed,
Which the breath of the whrlwiId s~cafters.
And morning came, but it came not alone,
Andit came not, alas. to cheer US.
For ram and cold, and the ses-bird's moan,
And the spray of the surge and the tempest's groan,
Aud famine and thirst, were near us.
And she, whose gentle spirit had been
Like guardian sng,l o 'er us,
Blessed us. AMI then, from the troubled scene,
Passed, ike = seraphi before Us.
