Three P. M. - We regret that the Vessel now standing for our River, and which is supposed to be the William Rathbone, has not arrived soon enough for us to give, in this day's paper, the important intelligence from Europe, she doubtless brings: but, as we expect to be as usual immediately favored with Papers, every preparation shall be made, for the purpose of rendering our Saturday's number, as interesting as possible.

The following curious paragraph made its appearance on Saturday last, in the Essequebo and Demerary Gazette "A vessel 30 days from Lisbon, came in on Wednesday evening last; but she, contrary to expectation, brings no intelligence on which we can place the slightest alliance!!"

Vessels ENTERED and CLEARED.

EPIGRAM.

"This tale,* by O'Liffey, is nonsense I think!"
Said the one to the other who answer'd him - "Pish!
What could you expect, (and he gave him a wink,)
When its heroes, good lack, sir! are asses and fish?
Q.
* It appeared in the Echo, or Essequebo and Demerary Gazette, on Saturday last.

THE FOLLOWING LITTLE TRIBUTE IS OFFERED
AMICUS BRITTANI®,
BY
PHILO MUS®US.

What tho' th' unfav'ring clime, denies the pow'r,
And abject need affords no leisure hour;
What tho' the heavy atmosphere precludes,
Poetic fancy, and her charms secludes; -
Yet shall the long-neglected Muse assume,
Her wonted tribute, and to praise presume; -
(Unknown to Genius, me no learning leads
To stray delighted, through poetic meads;
Unknown to fame, no arts adorn my song,
Like Horace pleasing, or like Homer strong;
Some little fancy's all I boast to have,
A little fancy, which dame Nature gave.)
To Britain's friend, I dedicate the lays,
And strive for merit, by announcing praise; -
To him be praises due, who strings his lyre,
And sings the merits of his KING and SIRE!
On him may fancy shed her influence kind,
And with Poetic fire stamp his mind! -
Oh! may no scribbling Critic dare assume
To crush his lays, or his fair fame consume;
No meddling Poetaster sneering bite, [right pointing brace encompassing the next two lines, presumed to be a refrain]
But hold in mem'ry, to correct his spite,
More easy 'tis to Criticise than write. -
So may he long, a much-lov'd Monarch sing,
And with his praises make the welkin ring.

To CORRESPONDENTS.
"The Pretended Scotch Officer," a Parody on the Article signed WHITELOCKE, is inadmissable.
