THE MANSION OF' REST. .,
I TALKTJ to my flattering heart,
And! chid its;wild wandering ways j -I
charg'd it from Foots to part, ..,-.
Anil to husband, the best' of its days ;
I bade k no longer admire ? .,
The meteors that Fancy had drest ;
.1 whisper'd 'twas time to retire,
And seek for a Mansion of Rest.
A Ch armer as Honing the while,
Who caught up the tone of my .lay ;
Oh come then, she cried with a smile, ,
And I'll shew you the place and the way ;
I followed the witch to her home,
. "And vow'd to be always her guest;
" Never more, I exclaim'd, will I roam.
In search of the Mas sio "of lUs r."
But theswestest of moments will fly j "' '.'''
Not long was my fancy beguil'd,
For, too toon I confess'd, with a sigh,
That the Syren dccelv'd, while sheBUuTdl
eep, deep, did she stab the repose
Of my trusting and innocent breast,
And the door of each avenue, close,
- That led to the Mansion of Rust
Then Friendship entie'd mi to stray
Through the long maic wiles of romance,
But I found that he meant to betray,
And shrunk from the sorcerer's glance ;
For EptniENCE has taught me to know,
That the soul which reclin'd oh his breast,
Might toss on the billows of woe,
And ne'er find a Mansion of Rbst. .
Plkasimik's path I determin'd to try,
Hut Prudekck I met in the way,
Com ic no flashed light from her eye,
And uppear'd to'rllumine my day ;
She cry 'd as she shew'd.me a grave ,
With nettles and wild flowers dress 'd
O'er which the dark cyprus did wave
" lkho'.d there, the Majjsioji oir Rest."
She spofc: and half vaniih'd in air,
For "she saw, mild Keugion appear,
With a smile that would banish l)asAiii,
And dry up the penitent tear ;
Doubts and fours from my bosom were dri-
sen,
As; pressing the cross to her breast,
And pointing serenely to HfcAvsM,
She shew'dthe true Maxsioh of lit. sr.

From the National Inttlligincerl
The following details are taken' from
the Ne w.York prints of Monday . There
is no American who will, not teei .mdig-.
nant, m common with.. the citizens ot
New-York, at the Injuries and infuhs
thus inflicted upon our s;igts as an inde
pendent nation : and wlia will -not wifh
that it were in our power, without "com
mitting; the peace and the great interelli
of the nation, to hurl on the heads of ths
offenders a condign vengeance. Thcfe
lawlefs acls, we hare no doubt, will be
met, at they ought to be, with fpirit ; and
the bed mcafurcs purfued fur vindicating
our rights.
While, howerrr, we join, in the honed
fenfibility of the citizens of New-York,
we cannot refrain from the cxprefiion of
our aftonilhment.at the wanton attack
made by men, who proftfs themftlvcs to
be jtderal'rtpublicans, on' the condud of
the federal adminidratioo. Was this an
occafion, when unanimity ouht to have
been chcr.ifhe.d, to light the torch of dil
cord", and carry it into the janks of thofe
whofe common interefU (hould have leil
them to the adoption of vigorous mcafurci ?
Was tlii a time to propagate fUndcrs,
which thofe whodifFufe them do not, can.

that. certain men, high in cmfidcration,

FROM TIIERICllMONl) LNQUIRIiR
Militia o the.itiMidStaUu,-- i.j
We have'receiveiffi om a friend at Wa'sV
ington, a " Message from the President of
the United States, transmitting a statement
of the Militia of the United States according
to the returns received from the several states
and territories."'''' April 11,'tcad and or
dered to lie on the table." Thii statement is
distributed into too many tables and spuu in-'
to too many details, .to be either interesting
oi; instructive in iti present form. We have
therefore deemed it buflicierit to throw these
different details into one general view. ,
Two principles are clear, that few govern
ments can preserve peace who are notalwaj
prepared for war: and that for a republican
government to preserve its liberty, it mut
. prepare itself fur wur by a disciplined militia,
and not by standing armies. Hut at the pre-
( sent moment, we have the mot delicate le
I lations to'adjiist with the powers of Europe.
An amicable accommodation of our deferen
ces, 'm perlnps, beyond our reach. l.ave

of a " threat of hostility from Trance." We
