To which we shall add "The Setting Sun."

Lo! where yon western heaven is dyed With golden beams of mildest hue, The sun descends in blazing pride,

And smiling bids the world adieu!
He smiles prophetic of his rise,
More glorious in the eastern skies,
All nature to renew.

So, when I leave earth's green domain,
May I in smiles its scenes forsake,
That I but die to live again,

And fall asleep more blest to wake! To wake in that immortal clime, Where suns shall know no setting time, Nor second morning break.'

We are authorized to mention, that the Parliamentary Debates published by Hansard, contain reports of the speeches of Mr Whitbread, often prepared, always corrected, by himself. This is an important fact, because these speeches so published afford more correct details of the opinions of that illustrious patriot than survive of any of his contemporaries. Mr Fox never wrote out but one speech; and Mr Pitt often declared that it was utterly impossible for him to recollect even the train of his ideas, subsequent to the delivery of one of his speeches. On being once asked to correct the copy of a particular speech, he replied, "that he could trace so little resemblance between the newspaper report and the

speech

speech which he supposed he had made, that to do himself justice, he must compose a new speech, for which

he had not leisure.

THAMES.

A FRAGMENT.

THE Sun in bright meridian pride
Reflects, in Thames's ample tide,
Fair London's turrets bold!
Here pond'rous lighters baulk the oar,
And wherries skim from shore to shore
Bedeck'd with green and gold.
Oh 'tis a sight both grand and fair,
To see the masts that pierce the air!
Mast of size, that masts may claim,
Here rise from ships of every name;
Of every nation, bulk, and form,

To brave the breeze and stem the storm.
First, note we ships from India's coast
Which Britain now alone may boast;
Americans, with doubtful right,
Whether to barter or to fight;
Batavia's barks of fav'rite mould:
And while we write in winter's cold,
Let's not forget that thanks are due,
Newcastle, to thy brigs and you.
What tho' the black'ning culm assail
The dingy crew in every gale?
And tho' the canvas, smear'd with smut,
Vies not with Smack of stylish cut?
No gaudy tints are theirs to please
The eye-but culm in every breeze
In black'ning clouds ascends!

But what, without thy vast resource,
Were London's hearth, and what that force
On which our weal depends?

For, cherish'd in their pitchy womb,
Their dauntless sons scarce fear the tomb.
Here fain I'd stop, but grace I'd lack,
Mention'd I not the Berwick Smack;
That weekly bears from Scotland's shore
Her Sons-that think of her no more!
For, of all towns beneath the skies,
Fit for the human dwelling,
The fairest in a Scotsman's eyes
Is London-far excelling!

J. G.

But she envies our name; and her ancient alarms,.

For our greatness in art, and our glory in

arms,

Is the thorn that still galls, till she winces again,

And the great nation quails to an isle of the main !

When Europe had sacrificed freedom, we know,

And servilely crouched at the feet of her foe;

John Bull, deemed so rude, was the marvellous knight,

Who cherish'd the outcast, and bled for her right.

Yes, England may ever exult in that morn, When a handful of heroes, of Frenchmen the scorn,

On the green hill of Spain their proud banners unfurl'd,

And rallied the hopes and the hosts of the world:

Then the conqueror's sun, to great Wel lington set,

And short was the boast, "he with me never met !"

Ah! how little he reck'd, that the problem so true,

Would be solv'd to his cost on thy field, Waterloo !

Yet that day, deem'd so bright, had begun in despair,

And ended in doubt-had not Britons been there;

For the foe were determin'd-their leader was brave,

But they found us the rock, and their onset the wave.

BONAPARTE.

INTERESTING DOCUMENTS RELATIVE TO
THE MANNER IN WHICH BONAPARTE
1S TO BE TREATED.

Letter from Earl Bathurst, Secretary of
State, to the Lords of the Admiralty.

"Dorening-street, July 30. 1815. MY Lords I wish your Lordships to

have the goodness to communicate to Rear Admiral Sir George Cockburn, a copy of the following memorial, which is to serve him by way of instruction, to direct his conduct while General Bonaparte remains under his care. The Prince Regent, in confiding to English officers a mission of such importance, feels that it is unnecessary to express to them his earnest desire that no greater personal restraint may be employed than what shall be found necessary faithfully to perform the duties, of which the Admiral, as well as the Governor of St Helena, must never lose sight, namely, the perfectly secure detention of the person of General Bonaparte. Every thing which, without opposing the grand object, can be granted as an indulgence, will, his Royal Highness is convinced, be allowed the General. The Prince Regent depends further on the wellknown zeal and resolute character of Sir George Cockburn, that he will not suffer himself to be misled, imprudently to deviate from the performance of his duty.

"BATHURST."

Memorial.

When General Bonaparte leaves the Bellerophon to go on board the Northumberland, it will be the properest moment for Admiral Cockburn to have the effects examined which General Bonaparte may have brought with him.

The Admiral will allow all the baggage, wine, and provisions, which the General may have brought with him, to be taken on board the Northumberland. Among the baggage, his table-service is to be understood as included, unless it be so considerable as to seem rather an article to be converted into ready money than for real

use.

His money, his diamonds, and his saleable effects (consequently bills of exchange October 1815.

also), of whatever kind they may be, mus be delivered up. The Admiral will declare to the General that the British Government by no means intends to confiscate his property, but merely to take upon itself the administration of his effects, to hinder him from using them as a means to promote his flight.

The examination shall be made in the presence of a person named by Bonaparte : the inventory of the effects to be retained shall be signed by this person as well as by the Rear-Admiral, or by the person whom he shall appoint to draw up the inventory.

The interest or the principal (according as his property is more or less considerable) shall be applied to his support, and in this respect the principal arrangements to be left to him.

For this reason he can, from time to time, signify his wishes to the Admiral, till the arrival of the new Governor of St Helena, and afterwards to the latter; and if no objections is to be made to his proposal, the Admiral or the Governor can give the ne cessary orders, and the disbursement will be paid by bills on his Majesty's Treasury.

In case of death, he can dispose of his property by a last will, and be assured that the contents of his testament shall be faithfully executed.

As an attempt might be made to make a part of his property pass for the property of the persons of his suite, it must be signified, that the property of his attendants is subject to the same regulations.

The disposal of the troops left to guard him must be left to the Governor.

The latter, however, has received a notice, in the case which will be hereafter mentioned, to act according to the desire of the Admiral.

9

time to the same rules, and must remain with him. At other times it is left to the judgment of the Admiral or Governor to make the necessary regulations concerning them. It must be signified to the General, that if he makes any attempt to fly, he will then be put under close confinement; and it must be notified to his attendants, that if it should be found that they are plotting to prepare the General's flight, they shall be separated from him, and put under close confinement.

All letters addressed to the General, or to persons in his suite, must b delivered to the Admiral or Governor, who will read them before he suffers them to be delivered to those to whom they are addressed. Letters written by the General or his suite, are subject to the same rule.

No letter that does not come to St Helena through the Secretary of State, must be communicated to the General or his attendants, if it is written by a person not living in the island. All their letters addressed to persons not living in the island, must go under cover to the Secretary of State.

It will be clearly expressed to the General, that the Governor and Admiral have precise orders to inform his Majesty's Government of all the wishes and representations which the General may desire to address to it; in this respect they need not use any precaution. But the paper on which such request or representation is written must be communicated to them open, that they may both read it, and when they send it, accompany it with such observations as they may judge necessary.

Till the arrival of the new Governor, the Admiral must be considered as entirely responsible for the person of General Bonaparte, and his Majesty has no doubt of the inclination of the present Governor to concur with the Admiral for this purpose. The Admiral has full power to retain the General on board his ship, or to convey him on board again, when, in his opinion, secure detention of his person cannot be otherwise effected. When the Admiral arrives at St Helena, the Governor will, upon his representation, adopt measures for sending immediately to England, the Cape of Good Hope, or the East Indies, such officers, or other persons, in the military corps of St Helena, as the Admiral, either because they are foreigners, or on account of their character or disposition, shall think it advisable to dismiss from the military service in St Helena.

If there are strangers in the island whose residence in the country shall seem to be with a view of becoming instrumental to

the flight of General Bonaparte, he must take measures to remove them. The whole coast of the island, and all ships and boats that visit it, are placed under the surveillance of the Admiral. He fixes the places which the boats may visit, and the Government will send a sufficient guard to the points where the Admiral shall consider this precaution as necessary.

The Admiral will adopt the most vigorous measures to watch over the arrival and departure of every ship, and to prevent all communication with the coast, except such as he shall allow.

Orders will be issued to prevent, after a certain necessary interval, any foreign or mercantile vessel to go in future to St He. lena.

If the General should be seized with se rious illness, the Admiral and the Governor will each name a physician who enjoys their confidence, in order to attend the General in common with his own physician: they will give them strict orders to give in every day a report on the state of his health. In case of his death, the Admiral will give orders to convey his body to England.
