Mr. Henery, - By inserting the following lines you will oblige Britanicus.

Neptune and Britannia.
With hair dishivel'd and with tear dew'd cheeks
And spear revers'd Britania - Neptune seeks,
And having found him on his coral throne
Thus in sad anguish makes her sorrows known;
O Father why hast thou withdrawn thy smile
Thy smile benignant from my white cliff'd Isle
Thy smile which British breasts with ardour fir'd
While wondering Nations trembled and admir'd.
Thy aid O Neptune to this Isle restore
Or Britain's glory sinks to rise no more.
Sister, reply'd the Wave compelling God,
Britain has err'd and she has felt the rod.
Why leave her proper element the main
In tented fields to waste her strength in vain?
The Sea is mine and I'm Britania's friend,
But on the Land my power's at an end
On me if she'll depend for time to come
The Boon you ask I'll send Britania home.
Britanicus.

By the arrival yesterday of three of the London Fleet under convoy of the Persian Sloop of War, we are enabled to begin this day's duties with the pleasing opportunity of congratulating the Public on the arrival of the Silver Money lately coined at the Tower of London by His Majesty's permission, for the use and convenience of the Inhabitants of these Colonies, as announced in His Excellency the Governor's Proclamation of the 3d instant. Assured as we are that there is but one wish, and one opinion, as to the benefits likely to result to the general interest of every branch of trade and traffic through this mountain of circulating Specie, if preserved within the Government, and allowed to invigorate the sinews of trade by a fair uninterrupted circulation. It may perhaps be allowed us to observe how much it were wished if Persons in ostensible situations in the country and particularly the Merchants of Stabroek, would enter into some regulations so as to co-operate with the acts of Government and secure the advantages of this valuable importation of Coin as well to themselves as to the whole of the Community. Some useful and public spirited hints have been already offered to public consideration through the medium of this Paper by J.B. who with much zeal and judgement recommends "individual caution and strict association of Merchants &c." for the purpose no doubt of detecting not only the depredations of capital offenders, but to secure the circulation of the Coin from the views of those who by hoarding or monopolizing Specie in preference to Paper currency thereby defeats the intention of the Legislature, to the manifold injury of the Public, and even without incurring any responsibility when detected.

For the names of the Ships arrived yesterday see our ship list. The indefatigable, Alfred and Fortune parted with the Fleet in the latitude of Madeira, and is supposed to have touched at that Island under the protection of one of the Men of War. They may be daily look'd for.

Among the Passengers by the Ships arrived we notice the following - Mrs. Clifton, Doctor Lloyd, H. Addison, and Ths. De Lisle Esqrs.

Early last Sunday morning after a short but severe illness, died at his House in America-Street, in the 48th Year of his age, Robert Younghusband, Esq. a Merchant of several years standing in this Colony. In every relation of life he was endeared to his acquaintances, not more by the integrity and manly firmness of his character as a Merchant, than the urbanity of his manners, and the social and correct [illegible] of his heart as a friend and a Gentleman. Of Mr. Younghusband it may be truly said that few lived more esteemed and respected, or died more universally regretted by a large circle of respectable friends as well as the whole Community to whom he was so long known. The deceased has left a disconsolate Widow, to whom he was only united a few days before his illness, to deplore his loss.
