highest admiration Of his bravery and gal

highest admiration of his bravery and gal,
lantry.
The subsequent career of Commodore Por.
ter is familiar TO all our readers. Peace be-
ing ratified, the life of the most gallant of our
navy was thenceforth to derive its lustre BY
reflection from the past. The hero of " the
saucy Essex" had gathered harvest of lal-
rels, upon which his fame could safely repose
for all time, and while he ever stood ready
to vindicate anew the high name his country
had acquired in arms, if need should be, he
yet needed no new occassn to signallZe his
claim to the remembrance ofposterity, as one
of her most gallant defenders.
Being appointed by bis Government to a
diplomatic station at Constantinople, he had
resided near that capital for several Yeas,
during which time he had discharged all the
duties of his position acceptably, when on
Friday, the Sd of last month, precisely at
meridian, he breathed his last in land OF
strangers, bnt not without warm and attach
ed friends around him, to receive his last re-
quests, and to perform for him the last sad
Offices. His disease was Pleurisy, and for
some days prior to his decease he had felt sure
that, that event was not distant. Letters
from Constantinople, dated on the day Of his
death informed US that it was his last will that
his body should be buried at the foot of the
American flag staff. How like the last re.
quest Of his compeer. the gallant Lawrence,
that the flag should be his shroud!
A deep grave was accordingly prepared
beneath the waving of the banner Of his
country; the diplomatic corps resident al
the Turkish capital, with all the Americans
in that port. followed the remains thither, and
the earth now covers them. But will they
be permitted TO remain there Mo- The
grateful country. for which the brave Cap
tain fought so long and so well, will never
permit lis bones to lie in foreign SOIL
The remains of the gallant dead belong 10
the land that has so much reason TO be proud
of the deeds of the living hero and the Pc
Rod, we feel assured, is not far distant when
that country will reclaim them, and lay them
10 rest, until the last tr umpei shall sound,
within the green and peaceful bosom Of that
free home which his youth and manhood so
galanily defended.
His splendid achievements shall long string the
Ofall who the blessings of Freedom inherit;
And his be the honors such merit deserves,
And dear 10 each bosom his d ath daring spirit
The poets high strain shall such mem'riss main
tain,
And Affection embaln them 10 Times latest reign;
While, reused by the story, our sons shall aspire
To rival such deeds-and to glow with such fire
