Merieo.-The Editors of the Bali.
more American have been favored with
the annexed extract of letter, receiv.
ed yesterday from San Louis Potosi.
via New Orleans, dated i4th October:
"The Revolution in this part of the
country has been put to stop for
the present, Arista with about 5000
men having surrendered in Guanaxu.
anto to the Federal Army, commanded
by the President, ST. Anna. General
Durant, with about 500 cavalry, made
his escape, and is presumed to have
gone towards 0axaca.
"The lives of the prisoners were
guaranteed TO them, but before the
treaty was executed, the greater part
of the rebels deserted from its fulfil
ment. Arista, three other Generals,
and nearly all his officers, are however
prisoners, and are not likely TO escape.
Commerce will now revive, and |
hope our intercourse with the Coast
will be uninterrupted.

NAPoLEON,s DYING PRAYER.

o, bury me deep in the boundless sea,
Let my heart have lmitless grave;
For myspirt in life was as fierce and as free
As the course Of the tempest wave;
And as far as the reach Of mortal control,
Were the depth Of my fathomiess mind,
That the GIBBS and flows of my single soul,
Were the tides Of the rest of mankind.
Then my briny pail shall engirdle the world
AS in life did the voice Of my fame;
And each mutinous bllow that skyward ourl'C
Shall to fancy, re-eeho my name!
That name, shall be storied in record sublime
To the uttermost corners of earth;
Oh. renown'd till the wreck of expiring tins
Be the gloriied land Of my birth.
es, bury my heart in the boundless sea,
II would burst from narrow tomb,
Should less than an ocean, my sepulchre be
Or if wrapped in less horrible gloom.

Hope of the wretchedl to thy healing art,
In tears of thanks and praise stranger bends,
And with thc transports Of grateful heart,
Halls the his kindest, dearest, first of friends.
Yet mid thy thousands, rescued from the grave
Bethink thee of one Notwithstanding slow
The best and loyeliest heaven and thou could st
save.
Rel's was deep strange malady, that wore
"ody and soul, and hope and life away,
IA If the heart, consuming at its core,
Perished in sad inscrutable decay.
Thou did'st restore her--God and thou alone;
And one who watched her couch in mute despair
And held her life much dearer than his own,
Pours out to heaven for thcc his ferycnt prayer
Him thou forget's-but must remember HER
The ealm-the pure--the beautiful---the mild
A, even now, HER name thy pulse could stir;
Fl thou didst love, & soothe, & call her child.
They say thou'rt cold-unlikc other men;
snow crown'd peak OF science towering high
Above the heart warm, soft sequesterd glen,
And flashing sunset giorcs in the sky.
Who say to know the not--nor can discerne
Beneath thy sage professional disguise,
How deep the feelings he, whom they call stern,
Hides from dull heads, hard hearts, or careless
eyes.
Blessings be on thee! such as thou mad mine:
cannot wish thee more!--No, not even rest!
IT'S in thy works that thou art most divine,
Which blessings others, makes the more than
blest!

Original ARecdote. During the riv
airy between Utica and Rochester, q
gentleman merchant from the latter
place; was travelling through Oneida
county! Being Of humorous turn, on
passing Dutch dwelling where a stone
oven was heating, which was out OF
doors, at one side of the house, he felt
disposed to hoax the Inhabitants. He
called out "hallo, the housel halo, the
houser' Out came the Dutchman, the
Dutchman's wife, the Dutchman's three
sons, and the Dutchman's eleven daugh.
tiers. He observed to them "your ov-
ems on fire." They all flew swiftly
around the corner of the house, and the
merchant rode on enjoying the joke. A
short time since, the same gentleman
was travelling to the east in a gig; the
roads were uncommonly muddy. He
was about passing the same farm house,
but ne had forgotten the place when a
young lad came running towards him,
with great anxiety depicted in his coun-
tenance. Sir" said he, ''your wheel
is loose" The man Immediately stopt,
got out into the mud, and looked at the
wheel, when the boy exclaimed, "the
other wheel sir. Around he waded
Through the mud, filled his pumps with
water and mire, examines the Inch pin.

so highly pleased with the lads wit, that

journey.
