secure that no dangerous innovation 'will be attempt-
ed on our domestic establishments.

It is supposed that on such occasions a 4 the pre-
sent, a. dry reference should .be made to the princi
pies of the Constitution, and no appeal be allowed to.
the virtues of the Sovereign. .We cannot bring our-
selves to endure such cold-blooded indifference.—lf a
Sovereign, during a reign of forty-seven years, has.
'Shewn himself the exampleand pattern of every hu-.
man virtue; if he has saved us from being involved
in the confusion and anarchy which has convulsed
the nations around us, by his steady moderation, and
unshaken firmness ; if he has preserved our na-
tional chat-at-ter and habits, by the purity of his mo-
rals, and promoted our attachment to our religious
establishments by his unaffeated piety ; if, by the
wisdom of his Councils, during the most arduous
conflidt, the glory and the power of the Empire has
been augmented and extended, whilst it has, at the
same time, been the continual bulwark of . other
States :—we say, if a Sovereign, possessing such
qualities, has'done so much for his People,
.he ought
not to be abandoned by them in his old age : but
possessing a mind still firm and vigorous, and un-
impaired, he may fairly clairri some proof, in the
hour of trial, of their attachment and affeCtion, some
effort of zeal and loyalty to preserve his dignity and
independence.

Among
,the many instances of courage that oc-
curred d%ring the taking of Monte Video, the
Spirited condua, of two young Irishmen should not
be overlooked. On the 20th of January, when the
Enemy Caine out of the town, in great force to at-
tack our little army, Captain CRooKstiASK, of the
38th Regiment, received two wounds from grape
shot, one went rouittl his left loin, the other struck
him on the foot ; he was immediately taken to
the Hospital Ship, where, under the care of the
skilful 'Dr. REDMoND, he had made some progress in
his recovery ; but happening to hear; on the 2d of
February, that a breach had been made in the town-
wall, and that our troops were that night to storm
it, he took leave of the Hospital Ship, and, with an
unhealed wound on his side, and a lame foot, he
joined the Arinv and led his company to the breach,
which was the -leading company of the light brigade,
under the lamented Lieutenant-Colonel Buol.visT
RIGO, and though he received three slight bayonet
wounds in the storming, he did not submit to the
care of the SUrgeon, till he saw the flag triumphant-
ly displayed on the Citadel of Monte Video. It is
unnecessary to comment on the spirit of Lieutenant
EVARARD, a youth not quite 18, -who Volunteered
to lead up theihrlorn hope to the breach, and, as
fortune favours the brave, This gallant young Officer
lives unhurt, the pride of his country and his family.
