POET'S CVJLXXH, PRUDENCE. vr-How oft does Passioa's grasp destroy The pleasure that it strives to gain 'How soon the thoughtless course of joy I doom'd to terminate in pain. When Prudence would thy steps delay, She but restrain to make thee bleat Whate er from joy she lops away, But heightens and secures the ret. Wouldst thou a trembling flame expand, That hastens in the lamp to die With careful touch, with sparing hand, The feeding streajn of life supply. But if thy flask profusely sheds A rushing torrent o'er the blaze.

Swift round the sinking flame it spreads, And kills tho fire it fain would raise. CANZONET. By Henry Kirk While. Maiden wrap thy mantle round tliee, Cold the rain beats on thy breast -Why should Horror's voice astouudthee? Death can bid the wretched rest. AH under the tree Thy bed shall be, And thou mayst slumber peacefully.

Maiden Once gay pleasure knew thCe, Kow thy cheeks are pale and deep Love has been a felon to thee, Yet, poor do not weep There' rest for thee -ATI under the tree, from the Norwich Courier. Commodore OLIVER HAZARD PERRY, who by his late brilliant achievement on Lake Erie, has secured to himself the proudest niche in the Temple of Fame, is the eldest son of Christopher Raymond Perry, Esq. formerly of Newport, Rhode-Island, but for some months past a resident of this town. He commenced his naval career a-bout the year 1798, as a midshipman, and served in that capacity a considerable time on board the General Greene of 32 guns, command- ed by his lather, ana employ ea principally on the Ilavanna station. On the reduction of the navy in 1801, many officers were thrown out of the service but young Per- ry, notwithstanding the comparative inactivity of peaceful times, perse-veringly continued in the profession he had chosen, passing through the various grades of promotion until Vve find him in the winter of i i 1810-11, lieutenant ana commanuer of the Revenge schooner, attached to Com.

Rodger's squadron, which wintered that season at N. London. Here he was continually under the eye of that able and accomplished officer, and received from him a full share of that confidence which he so eminently merited. A misfortune, however, overtook him while on this station The Revenge, in returning from Newport to New-London in thick weather, struck on Watch-hill and went to pieces; but the crew were all saved, with most of her armament. As is usual on all such occasions, a Court of Inquiry was instituted to investigate Lt.

Perry's conduct in that affair, and the result was a roost honourable acqnital. Lt. Perry was afterwards invested with the command of the U. S. flotilla at Newport, where he continued until some months after the breaking out the present war, when he was appointed with the rank of master and commander, to the naval forces on Lake Erie, 1 1 11 14 as 1 1 I III bSll4l ry few small vessels only And here his astonishing assiduity and uncon- querable perseverance shone forth i i i witn a spicnaour wmcn iairiy argu- mA krilli-inf roStilr to all r.nm.

plicated labours in the building and equipment of a force sufficient to cope with that of the enemy. Every nerve was strained for that purpose, artizana and sailors were sent from the Atlantic States, and we at length behold him sally forth to vic- tory and to glory. The importance of the late victo ry is immense, and the public joy on the occasion has been completely and unequivocally manifested by the sound of artillery, the chiming of tul and hniiianr illuminations, irora one extremity of the country to the other. Com. Perry has three brothers in navy, two of whom are L.ieute rants on board the President and the other, the about 13 years of age, was on board the Lawrence, serving as a midshipman in the late' glorious battle, and was the only one of that class of officers who was not eitner auiea or wound- ed.

Admiralty office, Aug. 14, 1813. Dispatches, of which the follow, ing are copies, have been received jt this office from Admiral the Right Honorable Sir John Borlasa Warren Bart, and K. B. Commander in Chief of his Majesty's ships and vessels on the American and West India station, addressed to John Wilson Gro wer, Lsq.

San Domingo, Hampton Roads, Chesapeake, June 24, 1813. 51K, I request you will inform their Lordships, that from the information received of the enemy's fortifying Craney Island, and It being necessary to obtain possession of that place to enable the light ships and vessels to proceed up the narrow, channel towards Norfolk, to transport the troops over on that side tor mem to attack the new fort and lines, in the rear of which the Constellation frieate was anchored, I directed the troops under Sir Sidney Beckwith to be landed upon the continent within the nearest point to that 'place, and reinforcement of seamen ana ma rines from the ships but upon approaching the island, from the extreme shoalness of the water on the sea side, and the difficulty of getting across from the land, as well as the island itself being fortified with a number of guns and men from the frigate and the militia, and flanked by fifteen gun-boats, I considered in consequence of the representation of the officer commanding the troops of the difficulty of their passing over from the land, that the persevering in the attempt would cost more than the number with us would permit, as the other forts must have been stormed before the frigate and dock yard could be destroyed, I therefore ordered the troops to be re-embarked. I am happy to say the loss in the above affair (returns of which are enclosed) has not been considerable and only two boats sunk'. I have to regret that capt. Han- chet, of his Majesty's ship Diadem, who volunteered his services, and led the division of boats with great gallantry, was severely wounded by a ball in the thigh.

The officers and men behaved with much bravery, and, if it had been possible to have got at the enemy, I am persuaded would have soon gained the place. I have the honor to be, JOHN BORLASE WARREN. J. W. Croker, Esq.

SIR, I request you will inform their lordships, that the enemy having a post at Hampton, defended by a considerable corps commanding the communication between the upper part ot the country nd I thought it acVisabfe, and with a view to cut off" their resources, to direct it to be attacked by the troops composing the flying corps attached to this squadron and having instructed rear admiral Cock-burn to conduct the naval part of the expedition, and placed captain Pech-ell with the Mohawk sloop and launches as a covering force, under his orders, the troops were disembarked with the greatest zeal and alacrity Sir Sidney Beckwith, commanding the troops, having roost ably attacked defeated the enemy's force, took their guns, colors and carrp, I refer their lordships to the quarter master general's report, which is enclosed, and that will explain the gallantry and behaviour of the several officers and men employed upon this occaVj-cn, and I trust will entitle thenl to the favor of his Royal Highness the Prince Piegent, and the approbation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. Sir Sidney Beckwith having reported to me that the defences of the town were entirely destroyed, and the enemy completely dispersed iri the neighborhood, I ordered the troops toa re-mbarked, which was t. VV performed with "the utmost' goodor-der" by (Jjt1. several officers of the squadron, under the orders of rear admiral Cock burn. I have the honor to be, (Signed) I "JOHN BORLASE W.

Croker- V'-' H. MV Ship San Domingo, Hampton Roads, June 284 1813. SIR, .1 have, the honor to report to you, that in compliance with your orders to attack the enemy in town and camp at Hampton, vthe troops under my command were put into light sailing vessels and boats, dur-1 ing the night of the 25th and by the excellent arrangements of rear admiral Cockburn, who' was pleased in person to superintend the advance under lieutenant colonel Napier, con-sisting'of the 102d regiment, 2 companies of Chasseurs, three compa nies of marines from the squadron, with two six pounders from the royal marine artillery, were landed half an. hour before day light the next morning, about two miles to thp westward of the town, and the royal marine battalions under lieut. col.

Williams, were brought on shore so expeditiously, that the column was speedily enabled to move forward. With a view tp turn the enemy's position, our march was directed.to-wards the great road, leading from the country into the rear of the town whilst the tioops moved off in this direction, rear admiral Cockburn to engage the enemy's attention, ordered the armed launches and rocket boats to commence a fire upon their batteries this succeeded so completely that the head of our advanced guard had cleared a wood, and were -already on the enemy's flank before our approach was perceived they then moved from their camp to their position in the rear of the town, and here they were, vigorously attacked by It. col. the advance unable to stand which, they continued their march to the rear of the town, when a detachment under lieutenant colonel Williams, conducted by captain Powell, assistant quarter master general, pushed through the town and forced their way across a bridge of planks into the enemy's encampment, of which and the batteries, immediate possession was gained. In the meantime some artillerymen stormed and took the enemy's remaining field piece.

Enclosed I have the honor to transmit a return of ordnance taken! Lieut, colonel Williams will have the honor of delivering toyoua stand of colors of the 68th regiment John's city light infantry, and one of the 1st battallion 85th regiment. The exact numbers of the enemy it is difficult to ascertain. From the woody country, and the strength of their position, our troops have sustained some loss; that of the enemy was very considerable every exertion was made to collect the wounded Americans, who were attended by a surgeon of their own, and by the British surgeons, who performed amputations on such as required it, and afforded every assistance in their power. The dead bodies of such as could be collected were also carefully buried. I beg leave on this occasion, to express the obligation I owe to Lieut.

Colonel Napier, and Lieut, colonel Williams, for their kind and able assistance to maj. Malcolm and captain Smith, and all the officers and men whose zeal and spirited conduct entitle them to my best acknowledgments. I have the honor to be, (Signed) SIDNEY BECKWITH, Quarter Master General. Right Hon. Adin.
