GREAT BRITAIN he's •reached the Summit of

G,lnry !

From that prowl height we look back on all
the toils and tronbles of a temPesttions. Age—We
feel that trey arc past ; and the sense of gratitude
to the Almighty DispoSer of Events 13 too strong
for language to pour forth.-
: •
Vrom that proud height we !oak forward to the
resplendani prospect of long-continued Happiness,
of Peace, of Joy, of Europe united as one family
in .bonds of harmony and love.
These are no visionary theories conceived in
the raptere.of this auspicious moment, and breath-
ed forth amid the tumultuous emotions which al-
most overwhelm the' powers of reasoning in the
patriotic breast on this bright
,and glorious day—
this day, which rewards the Lamers of Twenty
Years, and crowlis its in triumph at,the Gottl for
which we have panted in the arduotis race, and,.
thatilt God ! not hi vain,
The exhaustion of Europe calls aloud for re-
pose and renovation—the universal prayers and
wishes of the hurnrui race are for tranquillity and
Peace., The dreadful storm which has desolated
nture,onust and will be followed by a bleseed
calm—a calm which, we will venture to predict,
no angry or seifiNh passions, no restless ambition
in Monarchs, or desire cif fake renown in Na-
tions ; no longing for experiment and change in
Rulers, ot: in their people, will scion occur to dis-
nrh. Through the horrors of the tempest we
lave arrived at the. Halcyon .era of Pa.tes
ta-
The retnc.nbrance of that tempest will
sweeten our en!) of felicity, and, what is still more
to he prized, it will Irvitige the constancy and
du-
ration of the inestimable. treasure: •'

the most vitally interesting, and the most won-

But we cannot dwell on this mighty topic.—
Actecrsity has taught all the existing race of men

exatopled, but peculiarly felicitous cra, we have
reason to ronticipate the erection of a monument
of everlasting vigour and immortal admiration.
