•v ittrn by llie late Lord Byron, sis Ihe Album ut me Union
rlotei, it Ohsmouni, nesi Geneva:—
All bail, M >ul Blanc ' Mont ro Vert, hail!
With thee 1 can asscriate still;
And, should all other pleasures f.ill,
i’il streteh me by thy mui in’iihg rill,
Or into solitude I’ll fly,
Aud commune with llu Deity! j
Far ftom the prnle and srorn of mac.
The worthless objects of their care,
The works of Nature I can scan,
Aud sometimes, hold, yet fearful, due
Express those feelings kindly given
By the benevolence of Heaven!
Aline I tome ! alone I go!
Alike uiinottred aud unknown'
rreesM bv a weight of lasting wo,
i''rout £i«t to West by teraorst blown;
No rest ! no peace ! until I fly
From Time tuto Eternity ! I
l’et why—yel why should I complain
Are not some other jo^s my own i
Joys which the multitude disdain.
To duller, happier souls unknown’
, Yea, i will bravely dare my lot
Until I die, aud be forgot !
N i need to add my humble name,
Ne'er mentioned yet by babbling Faniey
Few will demand to whom belong I

NEW YORK ASSEMBLY, March9.
Mr. (tianger ro«e and said he held in his hands I
eeversl petitions signed by citizens of the highe* i
respectability, relating to a subject, which, lor -e
several months, had produced much exci e merit In j
ihe western part of ihi« State.
It was known to most of the members of 'he
House that a person nsmed Wm. Morgan who
was supposed >o have written, and to be then a
bout publishing, a book disclosing the -eercisof the
institution of freemasonry, was in the month of
September Isst, taken from (he village of Batavia,
under color of legal process, ami lodged in the jail
of the village of Canandaigua, from which con
finement he was subsequently liberated, and forci
«* • V tft • ^ f Vn • f ♦ ♦ -v V
uuia said Morgan, had not been teeu, not lua late
beeo certainly ascertained. This statement he was
authorised in making, from the fart that sever'd
persons engaged in thi^. outrage had been arras' ed.
had pl*ad guilt* to the i'-dictments found against
them, and ate now suffering in the jail of the coun
ty ol Ontario, the penalties ot the law.
Since the period of the«e convictions, a belief
} gained consideration that Morgan muat have been
put tfi death. Agitated and alarmed by a transac
tion so-extraordinary, the citizens of many of the
weslarn village* and coutvie*, have a-sembled in
public meetings, and have appointed committees
for ihe-investigation of ibis transaction.
Thoaf members of these commi'teee who pro
ceeded iar\he frontier, have become satisfied that
the life of Morgan had been taken, but they repre
sent that so ex'ensive is this combination, that the
ordinary process of our courts is not competent
to reach the many branches of this conspiracy, and
by the papers I now present, they a-k this house
to strengthen the arm of justice in such manner as
to reach this case.
Mr G- said he was not prepared fo express in bis
place any opinion upon the facts assumed in the me
morial, so far as they related to the murder of this tin*
luitunate man. The evidences upon which these a
verments are made have not yet been transmitted:
be ho.vever felt called on to say, that there is much
reason to believe that this conspiracy for the sei
zure and disposition of Morgan, though not em
bracing as many person-, wa- as wide spread as
had been the honest indignation and exri'rinent
produced by this unparalleled outrage upon the
liberties, if not upon the life of one of our citi
zens.
Mr. G. railed for the reading of the petitions]
which were read and referred to the committee on
courts of justise.

public document, which for brevity and compre
hen-ivci ess, could vie with the proclamation of

Hy advice of the Council, and in compliance
with a venerated usage, I appoint Thursday, the
fifth day of April next, for humiliation, fasting,
anil prayer.
I recoamend to each citizen to obseive the day
as a Christian; if he be under the influence of any
vice, to bani-h it; if in error, to correct it; if
uod r ohlig tions to others, honestly to discharge
them; if suffering injuries, to forgive them; if
aware of animosities, to extinguish them; and if
abic to do any benevolent act to a .y being, created
by the Almighty Power to which he owes his exis
tence aid his faculties, to do it.
And, with a conscience thus piepared, mar
we visit the T-mple of God, to worship Him
wi ll that humble and happy disposition which
always belong# to piety aid innocence; be
seeching Him that tire religion he sent by our
Saviour may not lie perverted through the pride
and prejudice* of sectarism, but ntay universally
receive the homage of a coriect faith and good
works.
Especially, I recommend that, being members
of one great community, we unite as Christian
Politicians, so that we may render perpetual the
peace and prosperity of our roun'ry and of this
Mate. ENOCH LINCOLN.
The great anJ all engros-ing topic of the admin
i-tration presses is the influence which Virginia
exercises in the affairs of the nation. This is by
no means a new theme. It was urged in all the
ea-tern states in the tunes of strong political ex
c lement which followed the fi st Presidential term
of Mr. Jeffeison; it was the watchword of the old
federal party in Massachusetts, strange that it
should be of those who have shaken >,ff or pietend
to have done so, the 'euets of that par'yand avow
themselves professor# of a contrary cieed. Though
young at the time, the fact is strongly imprinted
on our recollection, that pamphlc# on the eve of
every election were dispersed over the country
warning the people against Virginia influence;
Virginia politics—Virginia nominations- Virginia
every thing. A certain letter of Pierce Kutler to
one ol hi* constituent# wan sure to be dragged in
as a | roof of the assertion that -he was to be the
Austria of America. All the states were declared
to be little better than tributaries; having no voice
ot iheir own, but moving the mere pulpets of
her will
Some twenty years have passed away since I
the«e glo .my auguries were rife— & for a large part
of the time the presidential chair has been h-ldby
Virginians born and bred Has the nation rulTered
under their management? Have they done aught
>\hich ha* appeared tyranical or unconstitutional ?
No, wa answer, the government has been energetic,
iavors have been dealt out with an impartial
hand, the constitution ha* never been infringed,
the nation has continued | ropero'ja, free and hap
py. We mention these thing* ro ahow that the
arguments « ielded against the inf! lence of Virginia,
are werk and fallacious, the -uspicion and jealou
sy attempted to be excited of her, mean and con
temptible.
l’hs influence of Virginia in the councils of
the nation, will continue a* long a* the fills the
benthe* allotted to her representation, with in
telligence, virtue, and patriotism. It will no', it
cannot continue longer. [Phil Pall

Paris, February 3.
It was after being comple’ely beaten by Gen’s j
Villa Flor and ( laudino, in the province of Beira,1
that the Portuguese rebel- were forced to abandon !
Almeida and the whole province The Marquis j
and Marchioness of Chaves, tiie Brigadier Gene- '
ral Jor i»o, and the Governor of Almeida, e-caped 1
with 800 men and re-mtere I Spain by Aide*
d’Ahi-po. Eight hundred men of the Spanish gar
rison of Ciud.id HoJrigo marched to meet them, |
in order to disarm them, but gave them time to
repass the Douro and return to Portugal by the
prevince of Tras-os-Monies. Mr Lamb, <hc
English Ambassador, being informed of thi-con
duct, complained very seriously to the Spanish
Government, and it is in consequence of this
enmi laint that Gen. Logan, 'lieGovernor of (Jiudid
Rodrigo, ar.d ’he commander of the detachment,
have been suspended from their function* and are
all three brought before a coun martial. This satis
faction so promptly given to the English Govern
ment, proves that the posili*e demonstrations of
the British Caomet have not been without effect
on the Spanish Government, notwithstanding the
ra:her haughty tone of its la-t circular.
We learn also that the Marchioness of Chaves
h»- repaired to Madrid with the permission of the I
King, and that the Marquis remains at Salamanea

to the ateount of what was ascertained to he in

and, as it would require at least one third more
