I returned home very considerably improved. My reading was enlarged with the very important . addition oC Thompson' arid Slienstone's Work ; I had seen human nature in a hew pha&is ; and I en gaged several of my school-fellow to keeV up a ii terary corresputodence with me." This improved me in cotnpoation.

My life flowed on much in the same course till iny twenty-diird year. Vhe C amour et Vtve ia bag atell, Were my solo principles of action. The ad tikion of two more authors to my library gave me reat pleasure; Sterne and M'Kenzie.Tritram tihandy and The Man. of Feeling were my bosom favourites Poesy Was still a darling walk foh my mind, but it was only indulged kt ae&rding to the humour of the hour. I had usually half a dozen or jnore pieces on hand ; I took up one or other as it wilted the momentary tone of the mind, and uismis . cd the work as it bordered on fcdigue. My passions, when once lighted up, mged like so many devils, till they got vent in rhyme i and then the conning over my verses, hke-a spell, soothed all into quiet I None of the rhymes of those days are in print, ex cept, Winter, a Dirge,, the eldest of my printed pieces; The Death of poor Maillie, John Barley corn, and songs first, second, and third, bong second was the ebullition of (hut passion which ended the forementioned school-business. My tWenty-third year was to me an important sera. Partly through whim, and partly that 1 ish- ed to set about doing something in lite, 1 joined a 'flax-dresser in a neighbouring town, (Irvin) to learn his trade. This was an unlucky affair. My and to finish the whole, as we were giving a wel coming carousal to the new year, the shop took fire and burnt to ashes, and I was left like a true poet, "not worth a sixpence.

From this adventure I learned something of a tdwn life ; but the principal thing which gave my ioind a tum, was a friendship I formed with a young . fellow, a very noble character, but a hapless son of misfortune. He was the soil of a simple mechanic ; lmt a great man in the neighbourhood taking hiift under his patronage, gave hira a genteel education, , with a vie w of bettering bis situation in life. The latron dying just as he was ready to launch out into ' the world, the poor fellow in despair went to sea ; "where after a variety of good andjll fortune, a little before I was acquainted whh him", he had been set ashore by an American privateer, on the wild coast of Connaught, stripped of eve, ,- thing. I cannot quit this poor fellow's story without adding, that he is at this time master of a large VVest-lntliaman belong ing to the Thames. " His mind was fraught with independence, mag nanimity, and every manly virtue. I loved and ad mired him to a degree of enthusiasm, and of course strove to imitate him. In some measure I succeed ed: I had pride before, but he Uughtit to flow in proper channels.' His knowledge of the world wB ,astly superior to mine, and I was all attention to learn. , He Was the only man I ever saw, who was greater fool than myself, where woman was the presiding star.

This was a mo melancholy afTtir, which I cannot yet beat to reflect on, and bad very nearly given me one or two of the principal qualifi cation for pUce among those wbo have lost the chart, and mistaken the reckoning of Rationality. I gv up my part of the farm to my brother; in truth U was only nomiiwlh mine ; aud made what tittle preparation was iu my power for Jamaica. But, be fore leaving my n-ave country forever, I resolved to publish my poems. I weighed my productions as impartially as was in tnf power ; I thought they had metlt, and it was a delicious idea that I should be called a clever fellow, even though it should ne ver reach my ear a poor negro-driver or per haps a victim to that inhospitable clime, and rone to the world of spirits ! I can,truly say, that pauvre inconnu as I then was, I had pretty pearly as high an idea of myself and of my works, as I have at this moment, when the public, has decided in their fa vour. It ever was my opinion, that the mistakes and blunders both in rational and religious point of view, oi which we see thousands daily ruilty, are owing to tbeir ignorance of themselves. To know myself had been all along my constant study. 1 1 weighed myself alone ; 1 balaixed myself with o- thers; I watched every means of infoimation, to see how muck ground I occupied as a man and as a poet: I studied assiduously nature's design in my iormauon ; wnere the lights and shades in my cha-1 racter were intended. I was pretty confident my po ems would meet with some applause ; but at the worst, the roar of the Atlantic would deafen the voice of censure, and the novelty of West-Indian scenes make me forget neglect. I threw off six hundred copies, of which ! hd subscriptions for about three hundred and fifty. My vanity was high ly gratified by the reception I met with from the public ; and besides, I pocketed, all expences de ducted, nearly twenty pounds. This sum carne ve ry seasonably, as I was thinking of indenting mysclt, for want of money to procure my pussaee. As soon s I was master of nine guineas, the price of wafting me to the tomd zone, I took a steerage passage in the first ship that was to sail i:om the Clyde, for, Hungry ruin had me in the wind. I had btcn for some days skulking from covert to covert, under all the terrors of a jail ; as some ill advised people had uncoupled the merciless pack of the law at my heels. I had taken the last farewell of my few friends ; my chest was on the road to Greenock, I had composed the last song I should ever measure in Caledonia, The gloomy night is gathering fast, when a letter from Dr. Blacklock to a friend of mine, overthrew all my schemes, by o penirig new prospects to my poetic ambition. The doctor belonged to a set of critics, for whose ap plause I had not dared to hope. His opinion, that I would meet with encouragement in Edinburgh for a second edition, fired me so much, that away I posted for that city, without a single acquaintance, or a single letter of introduction. The baneful star that had so long shed its blasting influence in mj zenith, for once made a revolution to the Nadir; and a kind providence placed me under the patronage of one of the noblest of men, the Earl of Glencaim. Oubtie moi, grund D.eu, rijama't je I' oubl e I I need relate no farther. At Edinburgh I was in a new world ; I mingled among many classes of men, but all of them new to me, and I was all atten tion to catch the characters and the manners Uv:ng at they rite.

The accounts f.oin the European continent, in these papers, are nearly a month later than before received. War between France and Austria had not commenced. though the declaration of it vus daily expected. The French Ambassador, and the Ministers of the Confedcia- Uon ot thr Rhine, had ouitted Vienna : and all the troons in the North, under the control of Bonaparte, were in mo- tion. One hundred thousand of the troons. which were in Spain, had returned into France j and were moving to- wurus uavana. i lie Emperour wus in Paris at the last dale. We find but little mention made of Russia and that little did not ind ate any thing like her tuking a part in the war acrainst Austria. The ncacc between Tur- key and England is attributed in the Paris pitpcis to the ntevierence oi Auauia. The tidincrs from Spain are late.

American vessels which have been detained in the ports of the Empire, solely by the (French) Embargo, are permitted to return directly to the United States. This favour is not extended to such vessels as have been detained on account of irregular papers, or from any other cause. Vi Art. 2. The vessels, the embargo on which is thus raised, 6hU be placed in the dispesition of M. General ArnnUonir, Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States. to guarantee their direct return to that country. The bonds given on their departure shall only be cancelled by certifi cates of our Consuls, &c. in America, that their cargoes were landed therein, and were composed only of the nro- ductions or industry of our Emnirc : and thkl nn nm-t nf .i .i. i p.. i .. . . " .. . uiem was me prouuee oi ue sou oi lue colonies, or of the commei-ce ot England. Owing to the ambiguity with which the late Imperial Decree is worded, we are at loss for a definition of its pre cise import, in relation to the American property at ortsent jeopardized in France. The pli rase " par suite de 1' embar go, ( tn cotuequence of the Embargo J might seem to implj iu a more extended sense, that all American vessels com plying with the specified provisions ofthe Arret, and which had been embargoed in consequence of their papers not be ing conformable to the resU-ictions of the Berlin and Milan decrees, were liberated s while in a more limited view, it may be construed to apply only te ruch inieh, as hud been declared in a state of sequestration, in consequence of leav ing tlic'United States after the passing of the American Embargo luws, which it will be recollected, the Emperour undertook to enforce. And this latter construction, wliile in it comcquence and tendency, it has, (owing to thr small number ot vessels tliat were detained under this act) much less auspicious aspect to the commerce ofthe United States than could be wished.
