For Tue AMERICAN PATRIOT
Lines occasioned by reading the « Maniac,’
a Poem by John Lawson.
Adieu ! adieu, ye rosiate bow’rs,
Warbling birds and blooming flow’rs ;
All your fairy charms are o’er—
Cease, fond birds, you please no more.
Talk to me no more of Spring w=
All the pleasures you can bring ;
All your little tongues can say,
Cannot drive despair away.

From our Correspondent at New York.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
House of Lotds, Monday, April 4.
Rupture or THE NEocIaTION The Earl
of Liverpool—Betore he moved as he
raeant to do, that the house should now ad-
journ, ke had to state to their Lordships,
that he was commanded by the Prince Re-
gent to inform them, that the negociations,
which had been lately carried on for for the
conclusion of peace with France, were now
at an end. While his Majesty’s confi-
dential servents deeply regreted that failure
of their efforts for peace which had led to
this communication, it must at least be sat
isfactory to all that both in the principle on
which that negociation was broken off, and
in the particular circumstances and cause
which immediately produced the yupture,
there was the most complete a
and concurrence amongst the whe
allies. Their lordships and the8Qeountry
would expect full information on this sub-
ject, and he had to state, in regard to that
point, that it was the intention of the
allies in publishing a declaration, setting
forth the whole circumstances and causes
which led to the rupture of the negociation
=--It-would be the duty of his majesty’s ser-
vants to lay that declaration, together with
such other information as may be thought
necessary, before their lordships, and this
would be done with every possible expedi-
tion. In the mean time, it would be prema-
ture to enter farther into the subject, and he
therefore now moved, that the house do
adjourn—Adjourned. TP,
From the Liverpool Mercury, JApril 7.
We extract from the Courier (London
paper) the following statement of the de-
mands of Bonaparte Whether this state-
ment is true or not, will soon appear from
communications which must be ‘made to
parliament. : ved
1. He demanded Itally, insisting that
Eugene Boharnoi s should be king, & nomi-
mination that would have made him as
much master of that country as he has been
whilst Eugine has been acting as ne vice-
roy. In this demand of Itally Vence was
included ; so that he was more exprbitant
in his ternus than he was when the tieaty of
Luneville was concluded, by which/ Venice
was ceded to Austria.
2. He demanded the line of the Rhine.
The Netherlands, therefore to remain an-
nexed to France, and he to continye mas-
ter of Antwerp and the Scheldt, |
3 He did not demand that Holland
should be restored to him ; but, hedid de-
mand what would have made the ihdepen-
dence of that country merely ngminal—
he demanded Nimeguen, and part of the
line of the Waal,
4 Besides the demands we have just sta
ted, he demanded provisions or indemnities
for different members of his family, who
would be dispossessed of territories or ti-
tles. * Thus, an indemnity for Joseph Bo-
naparte for the loss of his kingdom of Spain,
and an indemnity for Jerome Bonaparte for
the los of his kingdom of Westphalia ; for
Napoleon Louis, Grand Duke of Berg amd
Cleves jpfor Eugine Boharnois, for the sa-
crifice As claim to the grand Duchy of
Francfort., The nature of these indemni-
ties and provisions, we are as yet unacquaint
ed with.”
GEN. MAREAU’S OLD STAFF.
Colonel Guriimmnout, and capeait Hulot,
brother to madam Mareau, and colonels De
Lesley and Rapatel, all four formerly aid-de-
camps to the celebrated general Mareau,
were killed ; the three former in defen-
ding the approach of the capital of their
country, and the last in attacking it, at the
head of a Russicn regiment of Cavalry.
Two officers remain only of that great man,
the one is colonel Irene Ameiot De Croix,
the other Mr. Frenier, captain, his private
secretary. Both of those brave and expe-
rienced officers have refused foreign service
and remain in the United States.

« In my last, I informed you that an ex
pidition was about sailing for Long Poiut---
it started on Friday cvening last. On Sat-
urday a landing was effected. No force
‘was found to oppose them but about 50 dra-
goons, who, after firing one round, which
done no execution, retreated. On Sunday
our party proceeded to Dover, a flourishing
little town on Patterson creek, about two
miles fiom the lake. No opposition was
made except by the women, who, with their
tears and lementations annoyed our heroes
considerably ; they, however, were inflexi-
ble, and most horoiclly set fire to the town,
and but two houses escaped the conflagra-
tion.Maj Marlin, with 2 companies regulars
and four of militia, was ordered four miles
up the creek to burn and destroy all the pro-
perty he could find., The major it is said,
disobeyed his orders, and only burnt a saw-
mill, grist-miil, ware-house and distillery.
The same day the troops re-embarked, and
on Monday a party was senton shore
to make a finish of the work of destruction
