For the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
BERTAD:-CANro ..

For the Burlington Hawk-Eye.
LIBERTAD:-CANro ?.
Then Quebec shrunk enid her boosted might,
From the harsh woes which round her ramparts
swept,
Yet Albion wax'd more vengeful in the fight,
As to their posts his hardy soldiers kept;
While Briton fr'd by Saxon valor, crept
Up Abrams heights and Quebec's summit won;
But soon alas with Fate that hero slept,
Just as Aurora usher'd in the sun,
Proud England triumph'd there; but Scotia wept
her son.
And since that morn, so fatal to the brave,
Quebec no lord hut Albion deigns to own;
To him she bows as doth cringing slave,
Who hopes by homage to assuage the frown,
That might be his should he once leap the bound
OF sovereign liege; or taught by Natures rule,
That all are equal horn the serf and clown;-
With the crown'd head; or cen should spurn that
school;
Where he was taught; that man DER man must
sway misrule.
And there it stands unconquer ably lone,
The foster muse OF England's western child,
And guards the spoil her Monarch grandsire won
When on his arms capricious Fortune smipd,
And is the Calpe of the new world styrd,
But wrongly nam'd tits that of tyranny,
For some for petty acts are there exipd,
And there must waste their lives and meier be free
Such it was once, is now, and still would degn to be-
But see there rises in the orient sky,
A star of omen brightning from afar,
Whose president beams give hope to ev'ry eye,
That she no longer hugs the chain and drags the
OF monarch pride; but catches from that star,
New life and zeal to shake her slavish chain,
Which galld her long and all her bliss did mar,
Which cramp'd her soul and stifled cen her brains
Like Upas' hanefu plant which kills while soothing
That star hath shot its mind-illuming ray,
Ger stated Europe and with its potent might,
Hath rent their thrones and mott the crown which
lay,
So heavy on their sovereign heads at night,
Breaking their peace and did their sleep alright,
And DER their palace walls it's rays did run,
Tracing these words in lines of dazzling light,
He who outlives st. James, princely son,
Shall see no head in Europe wear golden crown.
For four full days the crafty Arnold lay,
With all his famsh'd force upon the plain,
And he from thence each quarter of the camp sur
veyd,
Where he might best the easiest access gain,
To that strong hold but found his search in vain
Hard is each pass, &c the daring hero CRIED"
But lured by hope explores it once again,
And straight across st. Lawrence breast he spied,
narrow pass which led directly to the rampart's
side. MUSA.
General Wolfe by birth was Scotchman, and was
learned and amiabe man.

Quoted.
The course pursued by the President,
in indicating promptly the honor of the
country in this transaction, while he was
also engaged in maintaining the faith Of
treaties by suppressing the illegal expe-
dition against Cuba, is a striking illustra-
ton of the administration of the govern
ment, on true Wing principles. We defy
any man TO produce an example from our
annals Of a more successful effort TO MAIN
tain the honor Of the nation than is exhib-
tied in the diplomacy Of the Administration

dition will, we have little doubt, be sup

neiHacliAn,

Hard is his fate on whom the public gaze
Is fixed forever to detract or praise:
Repose denies her requiem to his name,
And folly loves the martyrdom Of Fame.
The envious, who but live in Others pain
Behold the host, delighting to deprave,
WHO track the steps Of Glory TO the Grave;
Seize on each fault that daring genius owes
Half to the ardor which its birth bestows,
Distort the truth, accumulate the lie,
And pile the pyramid Of Calumny!

ABDUCTION OF nEY.-ln ne w aSIllngtOn
Republic which may be presumed to speak
the sentiments of the administration on the
subject has the following in reference to
the aIledged abduction Of Rey from New
Orleans TO Havana by the connivance of
the Spanish Consul:
We do not hesitate to say, from PERU
sal Of the evidence. that there has been
more perjury and villainy disclosed on this
trial than ordinarily meets the eye and ear
of an Old Bailey lawyer. 1t can scarcely
admit of doubt, that bribery to an immense
amount has been employed TO suborn wit
nesses, and induce them 10 fors wear them
selves. We cannot believe in the inno-
cence fthe Spanish consul. The weight of
credible testimony satisfies us that Garcia
was fraudulently, if not forcibly, kidnap-
ped and carried on board the Mary Ellen.
We doubt the innocence both of the cap
tain and crew OF that schooner. The
Count of Alcoy has been, we fear, guilty
of aiding and abetting in this infamous act.
The outrage is one TO which the American
people will not submit !; and although the
President of the United States has recent
ly evinced to the Spanish authorities, and
to the world, his determination to sup
press all undetermined and unprincipled
efforts to seize the island Of Cuba, yet we
know that, when once convinced that
free man, be he foreigner or native, has
been fraudulently and forcibly kidnapped
in an American city, by order Of the Span
ish authorities, he will be prompt to re-
sent the insult, and compel speedy atone
ment for the outrage from the Spanish
government.

While he filled his hands with flowers
And strewed the leaves Ger his joyous path,

And she strung with light fingers her golden harp,
And sung to its plaintive tone.

Though here misfortune may blight the soul,
There's brighter home in Heaven.
