AT length War's sanguine feenes are o'er;
Her dire alarms are heard no more
Thro' all Columbia's Plain:
Sweet peace descends with balmy wings
And Heaven born independence brings,
With freedom in her train.
Chorus.— Hail ! Heaven descended guefls, all hail!
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Ruler of Kings ! thy mandate fliook
The fated monarch's throne; and flruck
The Jewel from his crown :
Thy wisdom the rude statesman taught,
With aid divine the soldier fought;
The weak an empire won.
Chor.— Hail! Sovereign Wisdom, Goodness, hail!
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Shed, O ffied! Thy influence down;
Form the new States to high renown,
Far as the Orient's shore!
Let Justice lift aloft his hand,
Virtue's pure robe patrole the land,
'Till funs revolve no more!
Chor.— Hail ! Train of Heaven bright mantled, haif !
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Public devotion! glorious flame!
That gave to Rome immortal fame,
Thy sacred ardors bring!
Religion chief! angelic maid!
In ev'ry breast thy empire spread,
To purge corruption's spring.
Chor.—Hail! pure etherial Graces, haill ,
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Her darling Son, Columbia's boast !
Envy and Dread of Albion's hos l!
Her patriot faulchion (heaths:
Celestial meeds in ample flow,
Crown the Deliverer !---bind his brow
With honor's endless wreaths!
Chor.—Hail Washington ? Deliverer hail!
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Prince of illustrious Christian name!
Historic pens (hall mark thy fame,
'Till time's long annals close:
Rous'd at oppression's gen'ral grief,
Thy god-like arms extend relief;
Then —give a world repose.
Chor. —Hail, Chrifhan King! Reliever hail!
Peace, Independence, Freedom, hail!
Now let the loud shrill clarions play,
Triumphant peals proclaim the day.
The United States are free!
While round all chearing music floats.
And echoing hills rebound the notes,
God's firm and just Decree!

will be delivered to fubfciiber; at One Dollar
and a Third of a Dollar in boards ; one half of
which sum is to be paid at the time of subscribing, and
the other on the delivery of the Book.
The vast importance of 'hit rising Empire renders the
History of each part of it extremely interfiling ; and
fucha Work, if well executed, muff afford peculiar
gratification to the curious and inquifirire. With re
fpeft to that now proposed to be publdhod, nothing
more will be obeyed, than that the Legislature of the
State of New-Hafythire, having favoured the Author
with the use of the Public Records, he has (pared nci
pains in confuting thole genuine feurces of informati
on ; and as he has been equally affi !ugus in colhajug
the hifrs given by other hirtori^ra ; and several gentle
men have admitted him to their collection of original
papers, he hopes it will be fouad that he has impartial!,
listed tafts, and flutters bimftlf 'that this work will ap
pear now even to thole bett acquainted with American
history. 1 hose who wish for farther information will
