EDINBURGH, APRIL

. A. party of social friends having niet on Friday
evening last,, in honour of the glorious news
tvhich arrived that day of the taking of Paris.—
Mt. Hooc (the Ettrick Shepherd) was called ott
for.a song, when he recited the following verses
Now, Britain' let thy cliffs snaw
Look prouder o'er the merled main;
The bastard eagle bears awa', .
An' ne'er will e'e thy shores again.
• Come, hi6g thy banrierii to the-wain;
The struggle's past, the prize is won;
'Weer may thy lion shake 4,iis mane,
Au' turn his grey beard to the.suil: •
Oft ha'e I bragg'd o' thine and thee,
Eren when thy hack Bras at the ova'; -
Now thou my proudest Sang shall be,
As tang as I ha'e breath to draw:
Where now the coofi who boded woe;
And eafdness o'er thy efforts threw;
And 'Where the prondknt fellest. fee
Frae hell's black porch that ever few.
obe might contlner queers an' kings, -
They're nought hut specks in Natz.re's, plan;
11'4 fool is he tne yoke that tti ogs
O'er the unshackled soul cf :rears.
'Tit like a cobweb o'er the breast,
That binds the giant while asleep;
Or curtain hung upon the rift,
The daylight from the world to keep.,
titres to the hands sae tang apbote, •
The rose and shamrock blooming still;
And here's the burley plant of yore,
The thristie of the Norlaud bill.
Lang may auld Britain's banners pale
Stream o'er the seas her might has won;
Lang may her lions paw thegale, -
Au' turn their dewlaps to the sun.

tempt to contravene the measures of the Supreme

. eperiment of the kind that-has been. made by any
one of the Federal Statics, since the union of The
Provinces. •
