51.'1.1. does the trumpet's braten throat
Pour forth a martial Sound,
Still do the notes-of battle float •
' 'ln warlike Clangor ro►ind ;
Nor rural pipe, nor past'ral lay,
In peaceful descant hail the day
To grateful Britain ever dear.;
The thunder of embattled plains,
And shouting conquest's choral strains)•
, Burst on the listening ear.

Yet while Bellona's iron car
Whirls o'er th' ensanguin'd piains,
'Mid Hyperborean climes afar
Stern war terrific reigns;
While, with colossal power endow'd„
The ruthless minister of blood
Calls to his scatterd naval host,
Go forth, and bid the bolts of Fate
On Britain's trembling harbours wait,
Shut commerce from her coast :

tehold, the sovereign Queen of Isles,
The Empress of the Waves,
Meeting the vaunt with scornful smiles,
The empty menace braves;
And see on Plata's sea-broad stream
Her banners wave, her bright arms gleam;
While, ploughing seas of classic fame,
Nile yields once more to Albion's powers,
.And Alexandria vails her towers
To Gzcacz's mightier name.

IV.
Firm are the sons that Britain leads
To combat on the main,
And firm her hardy race that treads
In steady marcn the plain :
And proudly may her Lards record
The victor arm, the victor sword,
That drives the foe from Ocean's tide;
And loudly too, with fond acclaim,
Chant trophied Maida's deathless fame
With military pride.

Be hush'd awhile each ruder sound,
While Britain's grateful voice
"lids all her echoing vales resound

The Monarch of her choice.
Though round the tyrant's hated throne
Arrn'd legions form an iron zone,
They cannot blunt guilt's scorpion sting, '
While Virtue's sacred shield is spread
O'er G tux c s's heav'n-proteled head,
The Parent and the King.

The decorative additions to Carleton House, under
the superintendance cf Mr. WALSH PORTER, have
been compared to PENELOPE'S web, as it is said that
what is done in the day is undone at night. We
do not hear, however,, that the Artist has as many
followers as PENELOPE, or that he is likely to obtain
at last the proteuion of an ULYSSES.
The sister of Lord GAGE, it is said, is about to

MONTE VIDEO.

tEXTIZAtT OF A LETTER, DATED MARCIt as.]

" Every thing remains in profound mystery in
this quarter. The Spaniards at Buenos Ayres are
distra6ted by party spirit, which seems momentarily
likely to burst into a flame. .A. few days since tlrey
attempted to detain by force a boat belonging to, his
Majesty's Ship Charwell, having at the unto a Flag
of Truce flying, and the matter proceeded to such
lengths as to occasion blows to pass between two
Spanish Officers.
" L11,11E115, a Frenchman, Commander in the,
navy, is Governor of Buenos Ayres, and the Vice-
roy is. lu prison, strongly guarded. MORDELLE,
another Frenchman, who, from having lost an
artu, was better known by the name of MAN.atro,
and, was an artful villain, was unqUestionably
killed during the storming .of the town: We
are in an anxious state iif"expeclancy relstiVe. to
Buenos Ayres. From the circumstance of 'several
Officers havinglately been up with Flags Of Truce,
we may form an , opinion something_ is on the
tapir Again, from 'the circumstance of the 9th Re-
giment of Light Dragoons, who arrived Some time
since, not being yet disembarked;, from several
schooners and gun-boats being fittedont, andhatter-
ing cannon and stores, &c. being shipped on board
transports, and transports got ready for the immedi-
ate reception of tt oops, it is natural to conclude offen-
sive measures are to be adopted. It is :utterly impos,
sible for vessels, even frigates; to proceed higher up
the river. Of our prospect of success it would be
wrong to hazard a doubt. One thousand men,
with the support of the men of war, Would be force
sufficient to retain Monte Video, which-would, with
the Brigade of Seamen 'and Royal Marines, leave
near five thousand five or six hundred, say near
600 a, disposable forces to ad against Buenos, Ayres:.
ExClusive of an armed mob, or rabble, divided into
factious parties, not more than 2000 or 1500 regulai
troops are in Buenos Ayres.
" The inhabitants of Monte Video are-daily re.,
turning to their housN, and begin to feel full con,
fidence in the English. Our Commander, Sir S.
AclimtrrY, is much beloved, and has proved him-
self highly worthy the command entrusted to him.
The Brigade of. Cavalry, under the command of the
,LVZILEY, remains in camp about a mile
froth town:
,Several troops of the 17th, moth, and
lust, are mounieo, Out, contraey to expeCtation,
Very indifferently ; however, horses are daily pro;.
cured.

"Our army is in general very healthy, and our
Wounded recovering. It is a charming climate; and
very plentiful. Our beef (very good meat) is about
a farthing per'pound, or a dollar the carcass ; fish is
'in abundance; poultry is'beginning to find its way
to market, but has hitherto been scarce and dear:—
Our English merchants are daily arriving, but com-
plain at present'of a glut of European goods ; hOw-
ever, very shortly, when an intercourse with Buenos
'Ayres and the interior is accomplished,. an extensive
and lucrative trade must be opened.

We are extremely active in shipping the prize
goods, of which very large quantities continue hour-
ly to be-discovered, on hoard of prize ships, fifty-se-
ven of which were found in the harbour, and have
been most scrupulously exact-lined, as tivell to deter-
mine their q'ualities as- to ascertain their cargoes and
to prevent any concealment. We ituderstand they
will proceed shortly, under convoy of the Lancaster,
to Englnnd. •

plicity drepurts are in circulation. Colonel CHAU-

ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE.

" On the 9th Feb,. a Meeting was held of the Bri-
tiSh'Merchants and Advei turers,when it was resolv-
ed; that a Memoriiif,Should be presented to the 'Go-
i'ernor,stating their guevances, and begging. some
• indulgence I om the Mode of levying the duty impos-
ed by the Order in Council. .The AnsWer to •
. the IVlemori;A:waS, that the duty must continue to be
'paid in terms df the Order of Council regulating
lite Trade of BuenoS Ayres ; but, in Consideration
of the circumstances of the Merthants and Adyen=
'tiirers, security for. the Payment of the duty would
be taken till they :cOuld make sales-=-41e Governor
pi'Orriising:'to state the peculiarhardshipSdt the trade
to Administration -; and, to second-his representa-
tions, copies of the proceedings have been trans-
Jnitted home, that the Merchants in Britain may also
pemorialize Government on the subject. The' result
; of this business gave general satisfai.:tion, which how.,
ever was .soon damped by a. Proclamation to admit
Neutrals .to import wine and'spirits, upon paying t
:per cent, duty Japre than the British;idthough mere
was a .suificiency in the British. Ships to supply all
the demands of the Army and Navy for a consider-
able period. The etrects of this measure have been of
course, added to,the other disappointments of the ad--
venturcrs, for they are obliged to' sell at a very bare ,
. profit indeed. The retail sale has been briSk,.and the
profits iespe&able, when
,the situation of things is
taken into view ; but the town was supplied, and.
till the capitalfall, nothing very great can be ex-
peaed., All the North side of the River; however,
to Coloqua, has been reduced ;, and it is thought,
that as a better understanding begins to prevail be-
tween the inhabitants and the British, c.onlidence
will soon be established.

" The departure of Gen. BERESFORD was .re-
gretted by the merchants in particular, who seemed
to entertain a notion of his .disposition being more
favourable to Mereantile pursuits than that of Sir
S. Actotury, No'resolution„ it is believed, will be
taken to attack Buenos Ayres till: a 'reinforcement
arrives. The non-arrival of Gen. CRAUFURD has
excited both chagrin and surprise." .

ASTnoNoM is--Dr. Olbers has written to Dr.
Young, Fareigii Secretary .to the Royal Society,
announcing his discovery of another new Planet, on
the 20th and 30th of March.last. This planet, which
he calls Vesta, is apparently about the size of a Star
of thealh or.sixih magnitude, and was first seen
.Virgo. On the V.tith,of March, at eight hours
21 min. mean time, 184 deg. eight min. N. declina-
tion 11 deg. 17r min.; on the 3oth, at 12 hours 33
min. mean time, 189 deg. 52 ruin. N. declination
1,1 deg. 54 min. It has since been seen by Mr.
GrOinuhridge, at his. observatory on Blackheath,
who says, it appears like; a star of the (a-th
tilde, of 'a dtiky colour, sitOr in appearance to
the Herschel.
