A SPANISH FLEET CoMING.--A gentleman who
arrived here on the Constitution, from South
America, Informs us that " heu he left there were
eight Spanish vessels of war on the coast Of Peru,
destined for San Francisco. The feet was under
command Of Admiral Pnzon /; aud the officers
gave out that they were going TO California to
make survey. Serious doubts of the truth of
this alleged object were, however, entertained
by Americans at Callao. The general opinion.
amongst those who had formed the acquaintance
of the Spanish officers, was, that the feet was
slowly making its way North, to join French
fleet, with which it was to co operate either
against Mexico or California, as events ght de-
termine. The withdrawal of Spain from the
triple alliance has always been locke upon as a
stroke of temporary policy on the part of the
Madrid GOvernment-not as a permanent aud
sincere relnquishment of its designs. 1t was con
Sidered unwise to persevere 10 position which
WAS destined to give cause of serous offence to
the United States at time when our Govern
ment was becoming more powerful than ever
upon the Ocean The gem Of the Antilles could
not be risked until France had become master Of
the Mexican position. That time having now ar
rived, it is presumed tho alliance, which was
merely suspended, as far as Spain was concerned,
will be resumed--and that both powers will
henceforth co operate otfenslvely and delensivey
together.-CaU.

Beautiful Lines.

The following beautiful poetry appeared originally in th
n. Y Indfpendet wtten upon the passage Man goeti
into his work and to his labor, until the evening""
The stream Is calmest when il nears the tide,
And flowers sweetest at the eventde,
And birds most musical at the close Of day,
And saints divinest when they pass away
Morning ls lovely but a holier charm
Lies folded close in Evenings robe of balm
And weary must ever love her best,
For Morning calls " toll but night to rest -
She comes from Heaven, and on her wings doth bear
holy fragrance, like the breath Of prayer
Footsteps Of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes Of Day in peace,
All things hushed before her, MS she throws
O'er earth and sky her mantle TO repose
There is a calm, beauty and power,
That Morning knows not, in the Evening hour
" Until the evening" we must weep and toll,
Plough fe's sterSlurrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet rough and thorny way,
And bear the heat and burden Of the day
Oh when our sun is setting may We glide,
Like Summer evening, down the golden tide,
And leave behind US, as we pass away,
Sweet starry tw light round our sleeping clay
