AU PEUPLE ANGLAIS.

Grand peuple honneur A toi ! Quand par ta voix puissante
Sou., r 6tait proelam6 des contn,:t;
Lorsque dans la ville opulente
La foule accourait sur ses pas ;
Ton respect pour sa vieille gloire,
Ces hourrahs d'un peuple en envoi,
Pour lui valaient une victoire :
Grand peuple honneur I toi
01est l'homme encore debout de ce temps heroique
Oh seule, au ban des Rois qu'elle osait defier,
La France, jeune Republique,
Luttait contre le monde entier ;
C'est l'un de ces foudres de guerre
Qui, devant eux, semaient l'effroi,
Que fete aujourd'hui l'Angleterre
Grand peuple honneur a toi!
C'est de NAPOLEON l'habile capitaine ;
C'est celui qu'il laneait contre tes legions,
Qu'au sacre de ta jeune Reine
Tu poursuis d-acclamations I
Jamais plus brillante couronne
Ne posa sur un front de Roi:
Honneur au peuple qui la donne
Grand peuple honneur a toi

De ton pays, un jour je dirai les prodiges :
Ton sol, comme les mers, franchi par la vapeur ;
Dans tes mille ports les vestiges
De ta force, et do ta grandeur;
Dans tes villes cette opulence
Que le travail mene apres soi ;
Partout du pain pour l'indigence :
Grand peuple honneur a toi

J'ai visits tes docks, ces entrepiits du monde
Ou tousles pavilions flottent en surete;
Ta Cite, ruche que feconde
Le soleil de la liberte;
J'ai vu ton culte a la patrie ;
Ton obeissance a la loi ;
Ton commerce ; ton industrie :

Grand peuple honneur d, toi !

Adieu! Trois fois adieu, terre hospitalire !
Je pars : le eaeur rempli de ton grand souvenir

J' adresse au ciel cette priere :
A nos deux pays I'avenir 1
De l'Angleterre et de la France
Que I'int6ret, la bonne foi
Rivent a jarnais l'alliance !
Grand peuple honneur a toi !

Aide-de-Camp du Mareehal Soult.

(From the Dumfries Times of Wednesday last.)
EXTRAORDINARY IMPROVEMENT IN NEWSPAPER PRTICI'
ING, CONDUCTING, AND DISPATCH.—In all these respects'
the Lon ion Sun—conducted by its talented proprietor Mr. Young—deserves the highest credit. On all occasil
of moment, intelligence of great political events is expresse.
at much 0
expense by The Sun, and the public thus put I
possession of interesting news by an earlier medium of coni;
veyance than they would otherwise have obtained. Sue

ceives, public approbation and support. What we 1°:
tend more particularly to notice at present however,
the taste and enterprise manifested by Mr. Young in re-
centl ly publishing the Golden Sun, with the beautiful ru,l
dalion portrait of Queen Victoria—subsequently follow ea
up by two splendid medallion portraits of Marshal Soult an„
the Duke of Wellington. Of the Golden Sun and the Queens
It
portrait, the 24th edition of which now lies before
is satisfactory to learn that many thousands have been
sold at home, and many have been exported to foreig
countries. We doubt not Mr. Young will he thus fuemedallionr
warded for his public spirit. We trust to liave it in 0
power ere long to say the same of the medallion portraits
of Wellington and Soult, accompanied as they are eacce
with a very neat, succinct, and appropriate memoir of tbe,
e`
great warriors. These portraits—termed medallions, u_.o
eause they stand out to appearance like the figures' ust
medals—are of exquisite execution, and worth the best
part of a pound sterling each. We have thus been minute
in calling public notice to Mr. Young's enterprise—T(3r. 4
traits and memoirs—first, because the circulation of such
things is calculated to improve the taste of the people'
while the memoirs will enable them to measure these ojr
ii
riors accurately, and estimate the amount of positive
resulting from their victories, on the one hand—and es
mate the pigmy benefits of a long, expensive, and
rourder•
ous Bourbon and Pitt war, on the other. Next, we are
happy to bestow our humble meed
of praise upon The Sun'
which has always been steady, consistent
and persevering'
in advocating sound and liberal measures, without allowing
itself to be engulphed in the vortex of political recreckless
anarchy, ness, and of incipient schemes of revolution,
an
bloodshed.
