an interview. AT last she expressed wish
to see the friend of Richard Bennett. and
was admitted to the fairest daughter of Eve
that ever found this world unequal to her
blossoms. She was propped up with pill
lows near the open lattice of her bedroom,
that was clustered with roses. Her white
dress and the drapery ofthe room accorded
with the angelic vision, who now turned her
ustrous orbs, which were yelled in long
iringed eye-ids, upon me. She held out
her transparent hand, and gently pressed
mine as knelt to kiss it; and as she felt

been prepared. If prize is secured by a British
cruiser, the slaves, instead of being returned to

tending from two to ten years. This is done es-
tensibly upon the plea Of remunerating the expen-

ment, which realizes the profit by the operation,
lhe English cruisers engaged in the suppression
OF the slave trade are nothing loss than egalised
pirates, forcibly taking possession of slaves which
have been previously forcibly abducted from their
native country. But their mercenary operations
are not only shown IN the instances to which
have referred. but the impediments which are
thrown in the way Of all legitimate trade to the
coast of Africa in other than English vessels, is
prominent part of that government. All trade
| in merchandise is broken up, except through the
English settlements, upon the ground that the ma

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST THE SAN

provided Colonel KEARNEY, 10 meet tho supposed
eXlgency. We learned yesterday, by letter re-
celVed from gentleman of Independence, in
whom we place great confidence, dated the 4th
INST, that company of somo fifteen or twenty
men had left Westport, to carry out the medlta,ed
purpose. 1t was understood, that they were to
join much larger force-l50 or zoo men-to
assemble at the Cross Timbers on the Arkansas.
there await the arrival Of the Traders. We do
not understand how the knowledge of this design
has been obtained, but there see ms to be very liz.

movements on the part of the military force detail
ed for the purpose, may Illustrate the design.

Msas. EDITORS Some writer week before
last, the signature of Banks,'' has taken i
upon himself to disapprove of the poetry which
we have occasionally found in your columns. lie
mas done SO in a way partaking of the serious and
ludicrous--somet,nes trying to ridicuIe; at others
giving his opinions in a grave and would-be cut
ting manner.
II our town had the same literary pretensions
that the cities of the east have, then we might
have passed over the remarks of " Banks" or sig
nihcd our approval of his course but as we are
on the very brink of civilization, where we are
more or less tninted with the rude customs of back.
WOODS and Indian LIE, we cannot but express our
total disapprobation at the sally he has made.
We would be the las: in the world to urge any
one to write poetry who could not do so naturally,
also do we cordially agree that without this species
OF composition is of the first order, it should not
be tolerated.
But Banks should remember that before Fer.
lection IS gained in any thing, course of proba-
ton has to be gone through. The lawyer before
he becomes good one has to undergo great study
so the physician.
Tothis may be urged the known line taken from
an ancient poet, that ~
"A poet is born," etc.
We acknowledge the force of The truism, vet we
do not admit, because some Of Arkansas poetry
may oo unworthy tnat II SnOnlQ all be condemned.
Banks should have shot his arrow at some other
mark; he shot it in i'll nature, and thought his in
tent was so savage that the execution must bo so
loo. Perhaps he was trying to show his genius !;
II so he has showed all he had, and that was mono,
at least Arkansaw.eyes could not perceive it.
Good naturedly we advise him to HE away to
some place where '.his talents will be appreciat-
ed, say some large city whore there are incen-
tlves TO bring them out. This vile Arkansaw is
not worthy theatre for him ;--he is indignant
and shows II by wreaking his vengeance on our
unfortunate poets. 49,.
"Cramp my genius over pcstle and mortar!'
exclaimed the apothecary, inflated with magina.
ry greatness.
"Cramp my genius in Arkansaw % exclaims
(" Banks" troubled with the same complaint. HE
away, Banks HE away-don't throw your pearls
before swine--go to some country where all will
envy them; as for US in Arkansaw, we can scarce
iy tell the difference between muscle-shell and the
simon pure pearl, but we can tell silver from brass;
we SEQ that oil is brass about you-so HE away.
