things that brings shade over the bright visions
Of futurity which patriotism loves to look at
and linger upon We have just read the follow

uuhappily present. a true picture Of what we
valnly attempted to paint.-Hear what he says!
..The greedy expeclants Of Office are CONT
nualIy on the look out. Let poor Postmaster
or Collector be sick, and they begin to collect
their volume Of recommendations. Let him die,
and before his remains are committed to his mo-
ther earth, the whole swarm is at Washington.
Then, sir, look at the daily press. which in this
country is the true srempldr uitg nroru'nqae.-
Why is it that upon all political questions,

argument turns on the single punt, whish

the most effrctuaI argument to carry The ma.

Mysterious One Of the most extraordinary
and unaccnuntable circumstances which has oc.
CURED for some time past, is the sudden dsap-
pearance from this city Of Capt Boot, of the
Dutch ship Asia. This IS the large and splendid
vessel which has been laying for some time past
in the North River; while on her voyage home
from Batavia, she fortunately heard at sea of the
hostile measures adopted by England and France
towards the Dutch flag and sought refuge, in our
harbor from the danger which awaited her
route to Holland. On news received here of the
convention between Holland and the two great
powers, preparations were Immediately made for
sending her home. On Thursday all was ready
for her to proceed to sea. Al three o'clock in
the afternoon Of that day Capt. Boot left the
counting house Of his consgnees. Messrs. Geb-
hard & Co. with bis ships papers and every other
final arrangement completed. He proceeded to
his boat which was lying at the wharf, sent some
things by her on board, ordered one Of his OFF.
GERS who was in her to fire gun for pilot as
soon as he reached the vessel; said that he him
self would Immediately return to the ship, and
that they would then get under way. Since that
moment, Capt Boot, has not been heard OF, nor
have the most industrious researches led to any
discovery relating to him. An advertisement
has been inserted in some Of the papers, con-
tanning an accurate description Of the person Of
Capt. Boot, and we shall be happy should this
particular reference to it, lead to any information
as to his fate.-N Y. Com.
