TIL E 2 r E S S.
BY THE REV. T. GREENWOOD.

The Press the venerated Press
Freedoms impenetrable shield;
The sword that wins her best success,
The only sword that man should WELD,
Deign, freedoms guardian, still to bless
Mankind from an unfettered Press.
Unfettered who or what, shall bind
No chains tyrant could devise;
This essence of immortal mind
Rending, Samson-like, their feeble ties;
Springs with fresh vigor to the fight,
And puts forth thrice its former might
Fetter the Press Attempt to throw
4 bride DER the moving breeze,
Instruct it at your will to blow;
Impose restrictions on the seas.
Dotards as soon shall these obey,
As the Press crouch beneath your sway.
Look to the past When despots babe,
AS Cunute once, the waves the retire;
If for moment they were stay'd,
Twas but to mock, not shun, such ire.
Daring to wait the stern rebound,
Power has been crush'd and grandeur drown d
Look TO the future What has been,
Instructs us what is yet to be;
pause but seems to intervene
The Press is by its nature free;
And every effort to enslave,
Courts but the overwhelming wave.
Twill come, twill come-that ample tide
Which DER the delug'd earth shall roll;
A sea of knowledge, deep and wide,-
lmpetuous, and beyond control.
Genius shall to the flood allure.
And science keep the waters pure.
While all that have halls melt away,
Like clouds before the morning sun,
Preparing through a summers day,
His course in God-lk pomp to run.
Error shall quit each happy shore,
And ignorance be known no more.
TIL, Press the glorious Press to her,
The herald OF that age divine,
| turn her humblest worshipper,
And lay this Offering on her shrina.
0 would she but extend to me,
Her boon of Immortality.

FRANCE.

Louis Phillippi, born in 1878. A man
OF titles. Duke Of Orleans and King of the
French and Napolean in Paix. The first
the work Of birth the second the work of
talent. His fortune has been triple, like
his title; LIST, a noble, next Jacobin, and
then King His wealth is enormous, and
he has used it for three purposes, to enjoy
the reputation of being the richest man in
Europe; TO marry his daughters to all the
needy princes Of Europe; and % purchase
the French by gliding Versailles for the
Persans, hanging up fables OF the French
battles; and delighting them from the King
to the beggar, with the belief that they are
the first populace in the world. A people
OF contradictions-they are now with one
hand trumpeting challenge to Europe,
and with the other digging a ditch for the
defence of Paris. They have erected a
despot, under the title of citizen King.
and to revive republicanism, are bringing
back the body of the haughtiest of empe-
rors.

of it. The whale appeared TO be aground in four
feet water, and MIR. G. seizing common chopping

AS for the impu,ation that Mr.. Tyler and his

THE EASTERN PROVINCES.

BY the North America and the Telegraph, we
have Halifax papers to the 10Th and st. John to the
18th inst. The North America touched upon the
fats in coming in, but got off without damage
upon the turning Of the tide.
The st. John papers give accounts Of some further
outbreaks at Miramchi, and of the military being
engaged in suppressing riots but the Cleaner, the
only newspaper published at that place is entirely
silent on The subject, with the exception that in one
is copied from distant paper news, the matter
being treated joke. There is no doubt howev-
err, that three companies of troops have been sent
there to preserve the peace.
The Lieutenant Governor Of New Brunswick was
at ST. John with his family Lady Colebrook and her
daughters being about to take the steamer Columbia
at that port for short visit TO this city.
The Halifax Herald gives the following account
of an incident OF which the commencement was
mentioned in some of the last papers from that quar-
ter:
DEpREDATIoN.-Two fast sailing American schoon-
ers were observed last week, by Captain Darby, of
Sable island, and within the British fishing ground
We learn the schooners were wreckers, and went to
the island for the purpose of plunderng the wrecks,
as well as stealing cattle. Captain Darby, finding
that he could not come within gunshot of them
Immediately to Halifax, and reported the crcum-
stance to the Admiral, who the next morning des
patched the man Of war steamer Hermes to the
island. The steamer return ed Saturday last to
this port after being satisfied that the two vessels
there, and that they were acting contrary to the
treaty. Nothing it appears, done to them, for
from their position and the breeze that was blowing,
steamer ought 10 have taken them, after chase OF
three hours at furhest One blank shot was fired at
one Of the schooners which doubtless had the effect
of making the ankee laugh,-Bos,on ADJ.
