IMPORTANT NE WIS FROM PARA
Quay

The Detroit Free Press contains an article in
its issue of the 18th inst, taken from the Bue.
nos Ayres British Packet of Dec. 2lst and 2sth.
in relation to the expulsion Of all North Amer
lean citizens, among whom is exConsut Hop
KINs, from that Republic. The article is as fol-
lows:
In pursuance of what we consider a short
sighted policy, the Government Of Paraguay
ordered all North American citizens to quit the
territory of the Republic, with a special proti-
so in the case Of ex-COnsul Hopkins, that hs'
should resign all claims and pretensions to GER
tain lands which he had purchased from the Gov
eminent, in other days and circumstances, and
OF which he must be held the legitimate owner.
With this condition Mr.. Hopkins refused to
comply, and, to avoid forcible separation from
his fellow countrymeD, applied to the Conn.,
mander OF the Water Witch, who nterposed his
services in the off-hand way customary with the
class to which he belongs.
This was an intimation to the effect that, if
Mr.. Hopkins and the other N. Americans were
not allowed to embark without moestation, the
Water Witch would commence bombardment
of the city of Asuncion, at specified hour of the
following day.
Accordingly, on the following morning, the
Water Witch took up position with her guns
doube-shotted bearing in the direction of the
Presidential Palace. In this emergency, the Par
aguayans wisely deemed prudence the better
part of valor;" and not a man, woman, or child
was to be seen in the streets of Asuncion. Mr..
Hopkins and all others were allowed to embark
without molestation in the boats of the Water
Witch; and in due course were transported TO.
Corrientes, where we leave them in the mean
time to muse on the "strange mutations of for
tune" We understand superior officer of the
Water Witch has arrived in this city; but width
er bound, or with what mission charged depo-
nent saith not" Possibly it may be to report
progress to the Commander-in.C Chief upon the
station.

Published documents, subsequently received +,
fully bear out the account we gave last week of
the exodus of Consul Hopkins and as a first
fruit of the unhappy squabbe,a decree has been
issued, closing the river Paraguay against foreign
vessels of war of all nations. Will the system
of reaction and isolation stop here!

Riot in Louisville.

We are sorry to See from dispatches which we
pubIised yesterday morning. that the election in
Louisville TN Monday was followed by bloody
riot at night, in which yeralpersons were killed,
number Of buildings tired, and violent demonstra-
lions made towards some of the printing cffices.-
What the immediate causes Of these disgracefuI
Occurrences we're, We cannot exactly tell as yet
from, our dispatches, but we regret To see in the
papers of that city on the Saturday previous to the
election articles calculated to inlame the popu-
lace;-charges and counet charges by the organs
OF The different parties of preparations and
schemes TO obstruct the polls to keep voters from
exercising their rights, to in,imidate by FIRE aims
&c., &C., which, we presume, were almost en-
tIely fabulous, and only designed to arouse and
excite the respective parties. Such publications
never do any good, but very frequently DO Immense
ham. apprehend that they have done so IN
this Instance. Whatever may be the cause of such
outrages it is the duty of every good citizen To
ftOwn upon them, and there is but immediate
and effective mode of Furnishing the ringleaders,
and that is to visit them with the severest penal
ties of the law, without regard 10 their position,
rank or party.

Can the bright orbs OF another
Ever so my heart entrane,

Answer to coda Lowell


And dOst thou ask If thou can'st love
Love with pure emotion
Ausht save the kindred soul that won
Thy young hearts first devotiOul
Nay, rather ask that tell.tale thing
Beneath thy bodice heating,
What is the story, inrob by throb,
IT'S evermOre repeating!
Dost think dare to answer "yes"
To all thy tender qGeries,
And own at once think you girls
But evanescent PERKS?
DOst think that /, who've praised the sex
All other things above,
Will say as frettul Hamlet said.
''.As brief as WOman's Iove3"
Would not thousand flashing eyes
Consume rue with their firel
II thus my harp should speak. 'twouId be.
Indeed. blasted Tyre!
Aud could | sip another kiss
From woman III my l:r=i
BESIDES, what chances would have
To ever get a wIe2
SWEEP girl! see that thou hast ''learneI
To iove''-perchAnce too soon; -
Thy pure affections rise aud fail
As waves beneath the moon
Aud leap in adorstioH up
To whence thy soul had birth.
Anu Troubling 'twiNt the earth aud stars,
are mole LIKE Heaven than earth.
Not mime the task 10 prophecy
What time may teach too well;
Talk 10 Thy heaTt-I may not speak
What II alone can tell.
Go, II thou wilt, and break thy vows,
And learn to scot at truth;
Go, barter thy soul's priceless wealth.
Tiny innocence and youth.
Go, ulinsle withsthe proud OF earth,
Aud wear the naughty brow,
And "ieach" thy lip to Iuri in scoIn
At him thou lowest now;
Go. move an envied iewepI queen
la Fashions srddy maze,
The cyuOsure OF every eye,
Nor blush 10 hear thy praise.
But ia thine hour OF triumph high,
And in thy pride of place,
Que Calm. rebuGIus form wall stand
BEFORE thee, face to lace
Tie image OF thy young hearts love,
Who knelt to such as thou.
But one whose SOULS immortal pride
Not even utOH couldst bow!
And when another hand shall "smOOth
The tresses from thy brow"
Aud other lips shall press the lips
That breataed thy young hearts vow;
And when thy Ioveless heart fer him
Shall ieeI no answering chord,
Aud he who clasps thy IOveless breast
Falls from thy aims abhorIed,-
Then think, o, think OF Que whose life
Was So with thine inwrousht,
His voice was like thy own sOups voice
Breathed in thy every thOushti-
o. Que whose high imp4ssioned soul
Was so much like thine own,
That, hear: TO heart. you beings hould
Have mingled into one!
And when that calm aceuser, like
y spectre shall appear,
Aud voices or thy broken VOWS
Shrek wildly in thy ear,
One spectral hand shall coldly point
lack to thy vaniS:I'G bloom
another to thy broken heart
Thy self inflicted doom! o. 1
