POETRY'. T WORLD.

OW wonderful this world is made,

Men form'd fcr every iUtion

A p;ret variety of grade You'll find in every nation. There's forn" whoft little minds extend, To only wliar Miry're doing 1 If afk'd-can tell their neighbor's houfe, And what their wives are brewing. Thtre's butchers, barbers, kings cooks, And trades of all defcr'ptiou ; There's schollars who delight in books, And thofe who deal prefcription. There's fome who rife at early dawn, And toil the live long day ; And yet o whittling home at night A ptUltiCfi for their pay. Tis not ribundanfe gives us peace, Ir u the mind alrme ; - A trtttt may mak. the beggar vith T . . ,

Till hutlgef pinches lore ; They eat then turn to work again

Till nature afks for more. There's the rich fclf important knave Who rtt ikes the town with awe ; He 'ets a fifty dollar (lice, For Ox-pence worth of law ! I There's gentleman who rob the poor, iV And talk of honor too I i And in their COnveffatmn prefs, A grare, they never knew. There's the obfcquioua p.tiict, Disguised by hood ; Hi vu v s Uw fh then boUy talks About the public good. There's ttotiks and mendicant , who live ' On a hit the rich heftow ; Thrv beg ana "re content to Imu Still nobbing en they go. There's fome whofe ignorance but tends To make them more content ;

Then high ambition does extend, To go, where'er they "ere lent. Etch one is wifely fitted for The (Ution that hi fills ; A much as e'er the horfe that turns The ground his matter tills. So jogs the world, this chequer'd world, One lives upon another ; One eats, until he gets his fill, Then hands it to the other.

New- York, October 9 MEXICO. The Editors of the Mercantile Advertiser were yesterday favored with a translation of the following interesting intelligence from Mexico. The fact here slated of the revolutionists having taken possession of Matagorda, i c nfirmed by the report ofcapt. Fov !er, from New-Orleans. - His ex. ellencv Don Jose Manuel de lUrrera, minister plcnipotenttarj from the Republican government pf Mexico, to

the IT. States, has communicated

under date of 24th August last, from the port of Matagorda, to a respectable person at Philadelphia the following information. " The Republican army of the province of Vera Cruiz, under the command of gen. Yittoria laid siege on the 18th July last, to the cities of Cordova anfi Orizaho. which were then on the eve of surrendering. The Commander in Chief of the Republican troops of the province of Puebla Teran, was endeavoring by forced marches to occupy the p;i ls of Guazacualco which was without means of defence. Gen. Bastamento had been victorious over the Royalistsas often a he had met thenuand was pursuing them with all naSte'BwArredondo, commander in chief of the interior provinces for Hie Royalists, had fallen hack with the few forces under his orders on Monterry the capital of the new kingdom of Leon, in consequence of the Republicans having occupied the port of Matagorda, where they

had lortitieu themselves, 6c where they were daily augmenting their strength. Subsequent to the possession of that port l ias been the evacuation of St. Antonia de Baxar, capital of the province of Texas, which ' was garrisoned by the regiment of Estremadura, one of the most famous corps of the Royal party. " The Republican army of the North is, for the present, under the command of col. Pcire during the absence of gen. Toledo, who is now in the U, States on business of moment, and whose presence with the army is impatient! desired. ' The representatives who are to compose the next congress, are named by the people, and by the present time will have opened their session. It afforded great pleasure to see the joy and enthusiasm which pervaded the ulcxi-. cans on the days of election. A person who was witness to this interesting scene says, that in the province ofValadohd, they wcie various likenesses of Washington and Franklin, which the people carried in their processions, accompanied with music & songs allegorical of the occasion. tb Between Washington and Franklin, some carried the resemblance of gen, Cura Ba!go, the first who had the glory and eourage to raise the standard of liberty. who was afterwards made prisoner, and shot by the cruel Spaniards at the age of 0 " Never has the Mexican cause presented so favorable an aspect. The next Congress formed of men of influence, will remove all those difficulties, which until the present moment, have paralized that rapid progress which was looked for in a revolution created by the unanimous and express , will pf the people."
