BY JAMES F. OTIS, ESQ.

IA JAMES OIISs ESQ.
See, where, fast sinking o'er the hills,
As with golden halo round,
The setting sun with splendor fills
Those massy piles which lie around
His couch. in crimson glory drest.
Like drapery DER monarch's rest.
Bright, fair, but oh, how fading too
Is all this beautiful array.
A moment given to the view,
Then past, amid the gloom, away:
So, like the gilded things of earth,
Which charm the eye, though little worth!
And now, ewes glowing star illumes
The chambers of the distant west,
And scarce discerned, like waving plumes
That flash DER many warriors crest,
There float along the upper air
Thin, fieecy clouds, SO clear and fair.
How sweet to gaze upon their slight,
Transparent forms, changing so oft,
. AS cen the zephyr's gentlest flight
Scatters them with its pinions soft
Seeming, as down The sky they go,
Like wreaths of gently driven snow!
And then TO trace the full orbed moon,
AS, struggling on her cloudy way,
She travels forth, now wrapped in gloom,
Now bursting forth with undimmd ID ray
Like some high, noble heart, whose pride
Still bears him on, though woes betide.

hundred, were destroying all the property with
in their reach, and were threatening to take the
lives Of the people in the vicinity, after having
burnt all of Capt. Brooks buildings. The Cap
tain had shot one. Before 10 o'clock, notwiti,-
standing the extreme codness of the weather, a
company of nearly 100 men was paraded, well
supplied with guns, bayonets, &c. and disbanded
for the night Early yesterday morning. they
left under Captain Hunter, formerly Of the United
States service, and took with them cannon
with good quantity Of canister and "a car
tridges. Our last accounts represented the
Irishmen on the upper and lower sections as
fastening as fast as possible to the seat Of acar.
