he embarked; some of his people had no hats
but they were happy in having their heads; for
though the people of Portugal may have been
in favor of ID. M, believe there was mob at

not been protected, have murdered him.
We have had here the frigates United States

came the English frigate Stag, and cor
vettee Nimrod both of their class esteemed first
rate. The unanimous opinion of Genoa is, that
all appearances are in favor Of the Americans
beyond external appearances il is not possible
tojudge. think that no one could question the
opinion expressed by the Genoese. The reason
may be, that the English navy is so extensive
thatthe attention to discipline and niceties can
not be given, which renders the American YES
sells almost spectacles to be seen. In a compari-
son OF these navies, we hear and see that in
ships, officers and men, the Americans in out

COieridge.-We perceive among the late TO-
reign items the death of this eminent philoso-
pher and poet Samuel Taylor Coeridge is no
longer among the living. He was man pos
sessed of a most powerful mind; his attachments
in classical erudition, were second to scarcely
one of his contemporaries; he was srcutinizing
and profound in his studies of metaphysics, and
deeply imbued with the best spirit of German
literature AS poet, he attained high rank,
and kept it. Some of his effusions such as the
Ancient Mariner and Geneyieve, will be lost
only with the language. His last work, entitled
"Aid to Reflection" will aid in the perpetuity
of his name.-PhH. GAG.

And her cheek paleth,
When fades the beautiful
= Then mans love faileth:
He sits not beside her chair,
Clasps not her fingers,
Pwines not the damp hair,
That DER her brow fingers.
BE comes but moment in,
Though her eye lightens,
Though her cheek, pale and thin,
Feverishly brightens;
He stays but moment near,
When that flush fadeth,
Though true affections tear
Her soft eyelid shadeth.
He goes from her chamber straight
Into life's jostle,
He meets at the very gate
Business and hustle;
He thinks not of her within,
Slightly signing,
He forgets in that noisy din
That she is dying!
And when her young hearts still
What though he mourneth,
Soon from his sorrow chill
Wearied he turneth.
Soon DER her buried head
Memory's light setteth,
And the true-hearted dead,
Thus man forgetteth.
WoMAN's Love.
When man is waxing frail,
And his hand is thin and weak,
And his lips are parched and pale,
And wan and white his cheek;
Oh, then doth woman prove
Her constanCy and love!
She stitch by his chair,
And holds his feeble hand:
She watcheth ever there,
His wants TO understands
His yet unspoken will
she haSteneth 10 luiHi.
She leads him, when the noon
Is bright DER the dale or hill,
And all things, save the tune
OF the honey bees, are still,
Into the garden bowers,
To sit midst herbs and flowers.
And when he goes not there,
To feast on breath and bloom,
She brings the posy rare
Into his darkened room;
And meath his weary head
The pillow smooth doth spread.
Until the hour when death
His lamp of life doth dim,
She never wearieth,
She never leaveth him;
Still near him night and day,
She meets his eye Away.
And when his trials DER,
And the turf is on his breast.
Deep in her bosom's core
Lie sorrows uneXpressed;
Her tears, her signs, are weak,
Her settled grief to speak.
And though there may arise
Balm for her spirits pain,
And though her quiet eyes
MAY sometimes smile again;
Still, still, she must regret,
She never can forget"

the confusion consequent upon such an awful
scene, IT was impossible to ascertain with any de-
