On Lady ! when left the shore,
The distant shore. which gave me birth,
hardly thought 10 grlevo once more,
To quit another spot on earth:
Yet here amidst this barren isle.
Where psntlng Nature DROPS the head.
Where only thou AT seen 10 smile.
view my parting hour with dread.
Though lar from Albin's craggy shore.
Divided by the dark blue main;
A few. brief. rolling seasons Ger.
Perchance view her cliffs again;
But wheresoeer now may roam,
Through seorehng cline, and varied sea,
Though time restore me 10 my home.
ne'er shall bend mine eyes on thee.
On thee, in whom at once cnusplre
All charms which needless hearts can move
Whom hnt 10 see is 10 admire,
And, oh forgive the wold--to love.
Forgive the word in one who ne'er
With such a word can more offend,
And since Thy heart cannot share.
Believe me. what am, thy Friend.
And who so cold as look on thee.
Thou lovely wand'rer, and be lessy
Nor be, what man should ever be.
The friend of Beauty in distress
All who could think iha, form had pass'd
Through dangers most destructive path,
Had brav'd the dealh-wng'd tempest's blast
And scap'd tyfant's fercer wrath
Lady when shall view the walls
Where free Byzanlium once arose;
And Stambpn's Orien,al halls
That Turkish yrauts now enclose;
Though mighlest in the lieis of fame.
That glorious city still shall be;
On me twill hold dearer claim,
As spot of thy nativity:
And though bid thee now farewell,
When behold tina, wond'rous scene;
Since whore lhon art. may not dwell.
Twill sopthe 10 be, where thou hast been.

THE. RFY AFFAIR.

We published, Yesterday. from n Pensacnll piper. a
statement 10 the effect. that Com Parker smiled from hat
port tho 9Th inst. for the North, with the itIgaio af
lan and the sloop of war Saratoga and under orders
touch at Havana and demand ltey the much talked Of
subject Of the alleged abduction New Orleans. In
ncclion with sach orders or mol we may appropriately
insert the following remarks of tho Philadelphia North
American.
"Onr readers have not frgoen The many accounts we
had flying through all the p1pers, time since of
ders having been sent n Comna1nre Parker At Pensa-
cola to keep the entire Home Squadron ready to sail at
moments notice, to Havana, and tha all This

TO make his mand In the name Ut the United States fT
the liberation of Rey, in such would ad-
nit of one moments refusal or hesitation Bearing hs
circumstance in mind nothing appears TO us more rrobl

been informed OF the Captain Generals having actually
refused to permit Mr. Campbell ns Rey second time
the Home Squadron is aredy the way To Havana,
demand and compel the instant delivery Of the prison
into our Consus hands, TO be returned 10 New Or
leans.
That, in opinion, is result that is most likely
happen in a very short time. But another is quite
certain to follow and that is. as alluded to before, the
immediate and severe punishment of all the Spanish
officials who have made themselves the criminal parties
in such unpardunable outrage upon the hnnor and
thoty of the United States he principals the Span
ish Consul at New Oileans and the Captain General Of
Cuba The first is within jurisdiction, and will be
punished by laws. lie will lose his ere9uater o
lie will be tried by American court; and, If
onnd guilty the alleged offence being criminal one he
will be consigned to American penenary. As for
the Captain General, his reward will be disgrace and
ruin The American government will demand his
val and degradation from the Captain Geueralshp. the
richest office by far in the gift Of the Spanish crown, aud
he will be cashierd and sent home accordingly"
