The following is an authentic copy of
letter from the late celebrated DR..
Franklin to friend in England, on
the subject Of the first campaign
made by the British in America.
DEAR SIR: ] am to set out to-
morrow for the camp, and having
heard of the opportunity, can only
write a line to say that am we'll and
hearty. Tell our dear good friend
x who sometimes has his
doubts and dependencies about our
frmness, that America is determined
and unanimous, a very few tories and
placemen excepted, who will probably
soon export themselves.
Britain, at the expense of MrcC
millions, has killed one hundred and
fifty Yankees this campaign, which is
twenty thousand pounds head. and
at Bunker's Hill she gained one mile
of ground, half Of which she lost
again by our taking post on Ploug he'd
Hill. During the same time sixty
thousand children have been born in
America. From these data his mathe-
matical head will easily calculate the
time and expense necessary to kill us
all, and conquer our whole territory.
my sincere respects to -, and
to the club of honest wings at -.
Adieu.
II am yours, most aftectionately,
B. F."

Of TIE difficulty III which France has

we have the cession of territory.
Nothing is said as to any part of Lor-
raine than the great fortress of Metz,
but it is hardly possible that the ter
ritory along the German frontier, to
the base of the Vosges, will not be in
cluded. 1t may be that the part of
Lorraine which is ceded includes all
the territory on the east bank of the
Moselle to a point near Nancy. All
Alsace is probably to be taken, except
Belfort, which is to be left to France.
1t is very strong fortress, but as the
Germans will hold the passes of the
Vosges, its possession is rendered mug
atory in a military point Of view
Strasbourg, Thionville, Nancy and
Metz, become German, and form for it
a frontier line that will be almost i'm
pregnable from the westward.
The National Assembly will hardly
venture to reject the terms of peace,
and when the Germans have made
their entry into Paris their-tfimph
is completed. The position of France
deserves the sympathy Of nations,
and we cannot help wishing that, hay
ing been chastised by adversity, she
may rise to truer, better and more
powerful position among the nations
Of the world. Constitutional liberty
may yet find in her the great exem-
rlar of modern Europe.
Germany should, with the circum-
stances surrounding her, progress
more slowly, but not more surely. to-
wards liberty. A popular monarchy
is great bar to republicanism, but
We believe that the force of-publio
opinion in Germany will tend towards
self-govermment. In all The changes
which are impending upon Europe
there can be ne more powerful inAu-
ence than the peace, strength and
prosperity of the United States, which,
ruled by its citizens, sets n pattern to
the civilized world.-Balto. Anecr.

AN ODE TO SPRING.

Come gentle Mira! let us gain,
The mount Oh yonder breezy plain,
Tomark accomplish spring.
The lucid streams, the tlow'ry mcads, =
The vcrdant hills, and smiling shades,
Where birds forever sing.
And see what pleasing charms arise,
In vivid bloom before the eyes,
Which captivato the soul; ,.
What pity It's such scenes as these,
Should ever yield to brumal days,
And winters rude control.

but to contentment given;

That virtue and religion arc
The only way to heaven.

finch, the woodlark, and the thrush,

them with a majestic pace and ex-
panded plumage. The harmony Of
the concert was soon interrupted by
the loud and harsh cries of this state
ly bird: which though chased away
by Emilia, continued his vociferations
with the confidence that conscious
beauty too often inspires. Does this
foolish bird, said Lucy, fancy that he
is qualified to sing, because that he is
furnished with as preading tail, ornc-
