The following sublime Ole, to the SUPREME BE-
ING, is translated from the Russian. 1t was writ
ten by one of their most jsiingui,hci Poets, Der
2hanir.' This ODE is said to have been translated
into the Chinese and Tal,ar languages, written on
rich silk, and suspend,d in the Imperial Palace at
Pekin. The Emperor of Jnpan had ii translated
into the Japanese, embroidered in gold und hung
in the Temple of Jtdln. 1t is gratifying TO learn
that these nations AVE ne themselves the honor,
~ besiow such praise cn his aobe composition.

O THoU ETGUSAL OSEI whose presence bright
All space doth occupy--all motion guide;
Unchanged shro' Tirscs ail,devas'aring flight
Thou only God There is no God beside

Who tilI'st existence wi h Thysrlf alone
Embracing all. serpernf ruling Ger
Being whos: call uod-and know no more!

May measure out the Ocean deep-may cccnt
The sands, or the Suns rays; III. God! for Thee

- Up TO thy mysteries. Reasons brightest spark

To trace thy councils, infni and dark;
