IM PROM PTU

On the rietorg gained in North America by 300 Canadians

era' near 8000 dmericans.
To Persia's overwhelming host,
Three hundred sons on .Grecia's coast,
Oppos:d a wall more strong than brass,
Led by their Chief, Lr.utnAs:
And nuw the brave Canadian band,
Has made the same heroic stand,
And realist! again we see, -
The wonders of Thermopylie. F. W.

It has been recommended by a Correspondent,
that on the 13th instant, the day appointed fur a
General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the in-
numerable blessings bestowed on this happy coun-
try, Congregational Collections should be made
after Divine Service, in every place of public .w or
ship throughout the United Kingdom-, :for the re-'
lief of our gallant Co.unt►ymen who.have.been dis-
abled, and the Widows and Orphans of those who
have been. killed in achieving the 'late glorious
,victories in Spain. Similar contributions were
made after the never-to-be-forgotten triumph . of
Lord NELSON, at, Trafalgar, which assuaged ,the
wounds, and alleviated the grief of thousands of
the brave sufferers, and the surviving relatives of
those who fell in that n►emorablie contest. As au
additional motive to this act of national benefi-
cence. let it be remembered, that our brave war-
rior's in the respective services, by their illustrious
example and heroic courage during the preseat
war, have been the instruments, under Divi►re
Providence, of animating the Nations of Europe
to successful exertions against the oppressor of
mankind, and of opening that bright prospect
wAlich ►how dawns upon the world, of a secure,
honourable, and permanent peace. Congregational
collection:;, therefore, for such an object as our
Correspondent recommends, would furnish the
living proof, that while we praise the Great
Giver of all Victory with our lips, our hearts are
animated with the currespoing eu►ution,s of gra-
titude and love. . .
