THE DEAD POET.

by D. MARTIN.
He sleeps!--the child of phantasy,
lie sunk to rise no more!
Like hollow waves that beat against
Eternity's black shore!--
The lightning fires of intellect,
That played around his brow!
Lie like old Oceans hidden pearl,
So low and sheenless now!
He sleeps!-but round his lowly grave,
The proud of earth shall stand
Ambition mourn votary less,
On Fame's undyng land!--
And Poesy, that sacred flame,
That will forever burn!
Shall bring her amaranthinc flowers,
To scatter round his urn!
All. he was great!-the God like gift
OF Genius shone within!
Like glttsring gems that deck the brows
or heavenly seraphim!
Old Natures wildwood loneliness,
He pictured clear and bright
And held communion with the stars,
That deck the brow of Night
He sleeps!-but Fame shall write his name
On Times unletter'd page!--
lie won from heaven a fadeless wreath,
To give an unborn age!-
oblIyi6n's waters cold and black,
May roll above his head
But ne'cr shall the name of the child of song
Be numbered with the dead

There is yet a stronger indication of COM
Ing events, Than even these gratifying polit-
lcal changes. II may be seen in the preva-
lent tone und impression Of the democratic
party, that the next election will PROSTATE
federalism in the state, aud that ia the great
presidential contest of the next year, the
friends of the Democracy will come IN with
as sweeping IA triumph as that which signal
lzed the first election of Martin Van Buren,.
Rely upon it, that the adyocatrs of a great
state debt, can make no stand at the next
election, or in the subsequent great contest,
against the free suffrages of people who
are quick to see through the clap-traps and
local appeals by which, in the absence OF
all the great grounds of public justice aud
political truth, the federalsts of the state
now seek to maintain their tottering ascen-
dency.

from Sag Harbor, dated May 10Th, stating
that the ship Edward Quesnel Of Fall Riv-

10 pieces-not ves,ige Of her to be seen,
excep, the spsrs and rigging. The Cd Off
Ger and six Of the crew were drowned in at

bbls. of oil had been saved at The last
accounis-and a prospect Of saving some
more. She had 400 bbls. sperm and 9O0
bbls. whale. The casks of oil we're hosi-
ing along the beach for 10 or 10 mules.
The Inhabitants in the vicinity OF the wreck
were kindly rendering every assistance m

culties and danger, which were encountered BY
our fathers, in their struggle to establish our
present free Institutions. The memory Of
these men should long be cherished, and their
views and feelings, as il regarded liberty Of
conscience, dwelt upon with pride by every
Rhode Islander. At this time, the principles
for which they contended, alone and unsuppcr-

abuse and slander upon them from all parts of
the surrounding country-but happily, at

loss OF THE BRIG Gov. CoDDISGToS.-A
letter received at New York from the Com
missioner OF Wrecks, John 5. Forman, states
that tie brig Gov. Coddington, Of this port,
from Marseilles for New York, was wrecked at
Island Beach, y. j., on the 18th instant, at ~
O'Clock at night. The Captain and crew were
unable TO get ashore until the 18th inst. on ac-
count Of the surf, when the brig had driven so
near the beach that at low tide they threw a
line to the land and lowered themselves safely.
The brig bilged fifteen minutes after she struck,
and will be a total loss. Captain Cozzens writes
that the papers are all lost, and that he does
not know who are the consignees. The cargo
consisted Of silks, wine, olive oil. verdigrs SOAP
sulphur, almonds, raisins and mulberry trees
The brig belonged to GEo. ENGs, Esq, and
was fully insured.
The same night aud about the same tme
the whale ship Edward Quesnel, Capt Wood
formerly a Hayre packet, but now owned at
Fall River, on returning from whaling voyage
went ashore about four miles east of Amagan-
sett, (Easthampton.) She had on hoard 400
bbls. sperm and 900 bbls. whale oil. The ship
went to pieces soon after she struck, and boats
crew, consisting of the second mate and six
men, were lost in attempting to get ashore.
A letter was published in the Pennsylvania
last week dated Bordeaux, March oath, in
which it is stated that Marsaud was tried at
Bordeaux, and executed there, in three hours
after his sentence was pronOnnced and that
before his death he made full confession of all
his crimes. These statements are evidently not
true: Marsaud was tried and condemned to be
executed at Brest, not Bordeaux his sentence
was pronounced on the 10th March, and APP
proved by the Court of Revision on the 10Th,
and we have seen a letter written by him, dated
the 22d and post marked the ODD, which makes
us think it pretty certain that he was not exc
cuted in three hours after his sentence was pro-
nOunced.
