Tane—* tNDIAN CHIER" WHEN dark superstition sunk Europe in night, And the mandates of ‘tjyrmto put l’mom to flight ; Corumsus, undaunted, his canvass unfurl’d, 70 find her a home in this far Western World. Our titular saint met the sage on the strand, And welcom’d him safe to the fair promis’d land. Fhe Great Council Fire was trim'd on the shore, Where our Chiefs by the God of their fore-fathers swore, That no tyrant our race e’ey in fetters should bind, Nor banish from hence the just rights of mankind : That tll'.;si: shores cver sacred to Freedom should And the mountains re-echo’d the solemn decree. To commemorate this, we togethér hive met, The glorious nlscov’y we'll now celebrate ; And chaunt songs of praise to our Chiefs who ’ve no s | Wiho fo&h’t for the freedom and rights of our shore : Who seal’d with their bleod the eterndl decree, That C;‘J tumsza’s brave sons should forever live ree. . When out rights were infring’d by the despots afar, We indig-ningy"’lo'uridx’d thg’ hatchet of ws‘:- ’ From bosom to bosom expanded the flume, And our nation, a nation of warriours became : For they’d sworn to maintain the eternal decree, That Ca:uunu’o brave sons should forever live > c. 7'len Patriot virtwe our Couycils inspir’d, With the cause of their comm;ly our heroes were fir'd, Our foes were led eaptive or driven ufar, Yor the God of Aukyomack was with us in war, He smil’d on the Patriot—he frown’d on the slave, And deck’d with vieli laurels the brows of the brave. "T'he bones of our heroes still whiten the plains, But faithful in story their glory remains, And their spirit descending shall fire the brave To cherish the prize which their ancestors gaves Whe for an assylum this wilderness chose, And caus’d the rude forest to bloom, as the rose. Here, afar from all forclqn contentions and broils, Peace strews the green olive and hiarmony smiles ; Here Pleiity extends her all-bountiful hand, And the bright star of Science shines over the land. Thus may our Republick be prosper’d thro’ time, The most happy nation—the nost favowr’d tlime. The flame of our altars has shone o'er the ses, And the tyrants are marshall’d lest man becomes free ; Dyt _t.lu;i;- (}g star’s declining—their thrones shall be wrl’d, And the spirit of Freedom awaken the world, From the shores of the wesr the dread thunder has roll'd, And the light of the New WorLp has spread thro’ the OLp. AMUSING MISCELILANY. FROM THE ANTHOLOGY. Original Letters, firom an American Traveller in Liurope, to bis friends in this country. LETTER TWENTY-FIRST. Romrr’ l"cb. 25’ 1805. MY DEAR FRIEND, . I HAD commenced in my last letter a short to pographical description of wodern Rome. I have spoken of its size, its surface, and general form and appearance. 'Something has been said also of its mountains, or ruther as we should call them, hills. . : The Monte Celio, or Mons Celius, is no otherwise remarkable at the present day, than as being the scite of the fambus church of Bt. John in Taterano, . the second ghurch of Rome in point of splendour, | and the oldest in Christendom as the catholicks pre tend. Whatever may be the justive of its preten. uons in this respect, they are 8o far admitted by the Apostolick see, that the ceremony of the induction | ¢f the pope is always performed in this church, to the great prejudice of its proud sister, St. Peter’s. In the early ages of Rome, this mountain was cal led the mountain of Ouks, on account of its being <overed with a thick forest ; it is said to have doriv ed its present name from Celius, who, according to ‘Tacitus, “brouiht sugcours to Tarquin the ancient, in his war against the Sabines, It would not be an in jurs to Rame, if it were again covered with oaks, .iinee it embraces a portion, which is aniong the most - descrted, and seems from that causc to cast a gloom | over the rest of the city, | ' - The Aventine mount is not worthy of notice on eccount of nny remarkable modern edifices ; its ex.’ - tent is yery considerable, and its heighth has been as' liwde .imk’!‘**}‘d as any of these famous hills, Al The Mohs Quiribalis is situated in the most popu lous part of modern Rome ; it is in faet oovcrem'ith; fine streets and m,a?\ificem edifices, but it is most distinguished by be flv\:{te seat of the p:rnl palace, in which the pope alwave actuully resides. Upon ozcasions of great splendour ant solemmity, the Vas tican is prefered, but the constant domestick estabs lishment of the pape is at the Quirinal palace. It is a most Seantiful and noble hill, and gives an air of grandeur ta this city, of which no other city of Eu. } ‘pope ean'Boash 0 2 ‘rhou‘;h the Mons Janiculus was not considered ng one of the seven hills, on which ancient Rome was suid 1o have been built, (probably because it was on the b:ppodh ild:;:‘_ the mr fiom.rt&: others, and rather without lous part’ city,) yet it always formed, “Pz: forms a very impm{u\t and intoresting portion 6f the metropolis. ' It is now in feriour to mnn'g the other hills in point of splen. Jdout, stuce it has the horour to o&on the incom pnrable #1 se of the Vatican and Inefl?olittt charch Peters.
