THE HEIGHTS OF BOUCOGNE“•

BY MARSHAL SOULT,
limallo 1118 RECENT VISIT TO nOULOIINE•
(Done into En lisp by Murtuo Youso.)
Ye proud Heights of Boulogne'. once the wonder of war,
When the legions of triumph their banners unfurled;
And the brave from all quarters--Alsace to Navarre,
Crowded here with NAPOLEON to conquer the world.

But how changed are those fields—once in battle array
When oake) on column was marshalled by hire,
The God of our glory I—how grand the display
That stretched o'er yon country till vision grew dim.

Then how high wzs our hope, as we gazed on that sea.
Which murmured defiance'.—but still we dared on----
F,r to conquer or die in the land of the free,
Wa; the boast of the brave in the race of renown.

'Twas a dream of the past; but in grandeur how glorious
For the bugle at morn called our legions away,
And the eagle of chivalry flew on victorious,
Till the Sun of Ambition won Austerlitz' day.
I could weep o'er those scenes to my memory dear!
For their like bath not been, nor will ever be more;
F.,r the tntli cannot match him in glory's career,
The hero or battles unequalled before.

But he 4lpeps in the Oe.an, NAPOLEON the Great !
And the page 9f Empire hath melted like snow.
Yet his memory lives in the shadow of state,
Like the deeds of our arms on the thrones of the foe.

And shall France not reclaim his proud ashes ?--their 11(71/16
The last resting place of the brave, should be where
Their trophies are treasured and honoured ;—Vendome t
Thy column's not great till NAPOLEON be there.

the extraordinary spirit and enterprise of Mr.. A1u"1.5,,°
Young, the Proprietor of the above Journal, these aoln!fo
meats would do it, because they throw all competition 'D",,
the shade ; for whether we regard the designs or the e%';
eution of them, they certainly surpass in an infinite degre;
everything of the kind that we had seen before. The 15.117
has for many years been a popular Journal, and deserveu
so, with the public, for its liberal sentiments and the valons
manner in which it has advocated their rights ; but it ba
beyond this an especial claim on the gratitude of the pro'

speaking, have any pretensions to : we mean for the v°lu-
able and exclusive resources it offers to us and our Coo;
temporaries for news, Parliamentary debates, the Lon:„Mhit,
Gazette, and all matters of paramount interest, which 1"„
Sun, ever since Mr. Young's connection with it, has giver-
