Thrre ,re men of letters here, who hold in a tci contempt that paltry stile, which de forms To much of conversation, and so much of writing. There are, #ho afTiciuoufly study their matter tongue, in .the' pi] re A jfogfoi authors, and who are both solicitous and proud to copy the !tyle of the- Augustan aire, whether to be referred to in Rome, or Albion. This literary corps are wholly ig norant of that Ivtim idiom so much in votftie. They difelaim it. If patriotism and national vanity air to be gr&tilied by talking and writing in this dialedt, these men will make no fueh Cicrifice. They will liipport the rights of commpn sense. They will adhere to the old, eflablifhrd, and ap proved modes of speech, and will neither pub* lllh nanfenfe, nor spell it in a nrrv way, be ciufe the folly of the tiincli.d I)r.

Our poet is fiill in the upper re gion, and "with no middle flight intends to soar." The launch df a frigate is a plnafing ipe&atle, and lb important an addition to our naval Itrength t'nggefts agreeable images of national glory. All this is true, and in this it is natural and laudable to be interfil ed. iJi't is not true that this is the; mtift noble si ene ever wi'rrfl'cd even on t/th fide th« Atlsntic. It is a ludicrous exaggera tion. ' " M She moved with the rfioft perfefl ease anl and with a noble bow, bade the land ADIEU." Our sublime poet, as if fie had rcferved all his ttienpth till now, here appeari gigan tically'foWime : " Greater ha look), and mere than, mortal Rare*, Wkoibu» the wonders of the dtep dcclmi." His (hip. like the fabled Juno, is described with an eye to the " Afl Ego" of Vihcit. * She mom a Godiefs, and be locks a stiU~thrre is a visible mixture of the famiy liar with the supernatural, even in these lof ty images. It fecms as if th; bard were thinking of {brae pntty fellow, taking leave of his mistress, or a powdered beau, gliding gracefully through a ball room, and praSti eing the retiring bow, just taught by the dancing matter.
