It seems that American Peacocks are
much better than English ones. The lat-
ter are not able to fight a Horxgr—whilst
the former make nothing of beating a Spar-
row Hawk* This goes against Buffon’s
opinion, that animals degenerate onthe A-
merican continent.

O, stranger stay—nay do not leave me.
"Tis harmless Ella speaks to thee :
Don’t shun me thus—O, do not grieve me !

Young Harry wooed and gain’d my heart :
O, cursed be that cruel day !
He vow’d from me he would never part,
Yet inconstant Harry went away.
I have been a stranger since to peace

My brain is turn’d ! O, miscry cease !

It niust be peculiary gratifying to the
administration, after all the slander that has
been uttered against it, as being inimicaj
to commerce, to observe that nearly all
the commercial sections of the country
give it their most decided support. Take

Arrived at Savanah, the fast sailing let-
ter of Marque brig James; Monroe, captain
Skinner, in 44 days from L¢Orient, who in-
forms that the Crown Prince and Emperor
of Austria were in Paris. It wasnot known
where Bonaparte was—--many reports rela-
tive to him were afloat. One, that he was
_ under the walls of Paris Bombarding it--..
another that he was about 30 leagues of that
place, at the head of his troops, endeavor,
ing to get the Allied troops between Paris
and his army---and another, that he was
missing. Captain 8. further states, that
no treaty had ‘been concluded between
France and Spain, as reported.
The James Monroe left L’Orient on the
8th of April, and brought 19 or 20 French
passengers, who corroborate the above as
well as the fall of Paris, and who were in
‘that city at the time of its surrender to the
- Allied Armies.

InveEsTMENT OF HAMBURG.
Official accounts from Bremen, March
25th, state that insurmountable obstacles
continue to compel the army besieging
Hamburg, to content themselves. with ob-
taining small advantages over Davoust.-«--
That Hamburg and Haarburg are fortified
with the greatest skill, and connected with
cach other. That Davoust has sustained
great losses at the Island of Williamsburg,
and relinquished the idea of further “defend.
ing it, keeping it only as a post for informa-
tion and communication between the two
former places.

From what we can learn by letters from
England, and what we can gather from de-
tached paragraphs in news papers, the iol-
lowing are the outlines of the peace which
the English ministry will condescend to
grant to America : To cut us off from ail
communication with the East Indies-—-t0
have no communication with South Ameri-
ca---to deprive us of Louisianna---to prohi-
bit trade with the West Indies----to debar
us from fishing on the banks of Newfound-
jand----to renounce all navigation on the
the lakes, &c.--=In short, according to these
reports, England will not allow even an A-
merican cock-boat to swim on any lake or

Are we prepared to submit to these hu-
miliating conditions ? And if we do not
submit to them are we unanimously prepa-
red to resist to them? These aré indeed
important questions, and should be serious.

Halifax, 1st May, 1814.
we have had great alterations here in the
commercial affairs. In consequence of a
peace between Spain and’ France, all kinds
of West India goods has taken a rise of at
least 33 percent. and several vessels have
left this port for France, under Spanish co-
lours, loaded chiefly with sugar and coffee :
"the former article has risen in one week
from 8 10 2 dollars; several of those ves-
sels were loaded for the United States, and
some of them bad begun to load with Eng-
lish manufactures West India produce but
had to unload again, in consequence of the
governor’s having ordered the collector to
clear no vessels, (cartels excepted) to any
port in the United States. This was con-
sidered by the merchants as an unauthori-
scd act, & ameeting of these took place who
wai.ed on his excellency to receve his rea-
sons: he informed them, that he had rea,
ah informed them, that he had that
dey received information, from Bermuda,
that Admiral Cochrane was to declare the |
whole of the ports of the United States ina’
state of blockade, and that an additional na-
val force was on its way from England, to
better enable tue admiral to accomplish this
imporiant object. The governor added
that the reasons for this step were to fold .
the first was from the last accounts from his
majesty’s ministers (by ' the last March
mail) he had not the least reason to hope,
th t any peace would result from the negos
‘lations at Gottenburgh; anda the second
was, that the naval and military commands
ers had orders to” prosecute the war with
tie Lmost riger dnd had full assurance,
that a sufficient force to accomplish every
object, in view, should be sent next sums
mer.—On the gentiemen, who waited upon
him askirg, iftiere was not cause to be-
lieve, that the a m stice taiked so loudly of
iu Amarican papers; should take place, the
goverro smiled, and said, that there was
no offi er in this country vested with any
power to treat with the ‘government of (he
United States on any such subject ; that
proposals of this kind, on the part of his ma,
jesty, had been treated with indignity; by
the president of the United States already ;
and that the next proposal of this kind, must
come from him; which, he thought, woulds
at this time, meet witha cool reception.
