JOHN BELFOUR, *Esq. Printed for Verrnr, Hood, and Yearpe, No. 31, Poultry. 1 .• Although tho Battle of Roncesvalles is familiar to every class of readers, no Poem has appeared in- this country on the subject, formed upon any other historical basis than that of the French Chranicles. This Rornanee, on the contrary, is founded on the circum,tances leading to that event, as related by the F.p mrsh Historians; and in this respect has a feature of novelty. Ihe object of the Author, in thus commemorating a signal in stance of valour and patriotism, is to exalt the Spanish character; and, at a juncture like the present, it is presumed, that a Poem, tending to keep alive a spirit of resistance to Gallic despotism, will 'not he unfavourably received by a British public.
