Of his last voyage speaks OF great mountain, re

reconnaissance for the entrance OF channel to the
westward OF this mountain promontory, and which
he supposes must communicate with the vast bay at
Geilwink, on the opposite coast of the island, that
has never been fully explored.

which the court took this action can readily be

earning precarious existence by unending toll
at fine manufactures, whom American Cotton
only saves from starvation, about the blessings
of that form of government which takes from
the many the staff of life, to give luxury to the

periodical in the extreme. Haven of rest ~
What rest has Europe had for five hundred
years past on account of your restless ambi-
ton? What rest has Ireland and India had
under your benign rule? A most solacing
haven Of rest you are in just now; and I'M
less the past is no index to the future, you will
sing new song before seeing the end of this
struggle. "Benefactress of mankindr Let
the nations that have enjoyed your benefac-
tons peal in their praise. There is terrible
account against you on the balance sheets of
history. The day of retribution will settle it.
