THE MINSTRELSY OF PP ACE.,

(From, th,e Morning A4vertiser.)
The "minstrelsy of war" is at an end for the preset.
Of late, indeed, there has been but little temptation in it
for British, bards.—Who could pretend to the divine
afflatus concerning the exploits of an army;. checked :by
the telegraph, -arid commanded by Simpson ? That there
were glorious,deeds perforine'd by indiVidual, as Relljas
rlgimental bravery, none .can dispute ; _ but a poet most
feel for his coutAry, and routine disgusts the Muse, ,w.hile
betrayal shocks her. 'Peisibly;'it cause that
such strains of poetry as were at first heard have utterly
died away. As we lave presented several of ,Mr.'
Richards' poems on the war to our readers, So now We
give insertion to a composition " the peace." Let' it
not be imaßined that the satire of the writer stamps him
as a blood-thirsty man, one who would urge on the dogs
of war, while remaining hiniself in safety—a reproaoh
with which the press is not unfrequently, favoured: ay
those 'whom it censures. The writer of these bitter lines
may have felt more deeply than the easy acceptors la
peace-at-any-price the rnelanchoiysacrifice of our soldiers.
For such a e insurnoiatiOn hs•thig p.a.-3; we rimy exclaim
with the peace-mongers—Ought we ever to have gone
to War at all ?

We may observe that these lines are written in the
suppot.ition that we shall have an illumination for the
peace ;—a notion which seems to have died away in
consequence of a certain want of enthuiiasm in its
I •
favour

AN ILLUMINATION ODE FOR TELE PEACE.
Illuminate for Asia,! • -
Kars' garrison betray'd ;
A Bude-light for each window
By Routine idly made. .
Flare up for naval triumphs .
By Englishmen '
not won,
Ten million Russian candles,
' And gutter every one.
Let Simpson's name pale flicker
In gas-light, thus to tell
How waver'd in dijorder
His raw recruits, who fell.
Oil lamps for night-cap'd Caasars,
That go out with a smell ! •
Rushlights in rotten turnips
Might do the thing as well.
Let's have the Star of Airey,
With Paninure'a swoli'n device,
.Tarda podagra, o'er you
" Alarming sacrifice—"
The Coburg decoration,
From " Garter" unto "Fleece,"
Let cringing tradesmen picture,
To advertise the " Peace."
A bonfire for Odessa,
That stands in statu quo ;
What, if it cost our army
Achilles' direful woe?
Transparencies for traitors,
To mock their crafty lies ;
With trophies for the hero,
Who stern Macniell defies.
The engineer and doctor
Of staunch Crimean fame,
Disaster could not waken—
Mortality not shame
Shall welcom'd be by emblems
In characters of flame ;
Let,„diturerdiats•at Windsor
Tell each ill-ornen'd name,
' • "And o'er the Horse-guards' portals,
'Neath Lombards triple sign,
0 word of mystic wonder !
• ItesPlendent " Dowb" shall shine.
Let undertakers honour
The Marshal old and brave,
Who bow'd away an army
Into a needless grave.
.ROaCe to his troubled manes ;
The crime is theirs who sent
His white hairy to the ruin
Of services long spent.
Illuminate forlia.nge ••
Tlie 'tiger's cruel doom,
In characters of fire
Be bla4ou'al through the gloom. •
'The red glare of Sinope . •
Glow herce in Dawning-street,
When secret orders palsied
''Eath thunder-freighted fleet.
,Let crimson cloth deep trailing
. O'er balcony suggest
' The fields of blood, where.perish'd
. Ofir bravest *and our best—
Perish'd ,• • • "
That drivelling, lips might shame,
" Amid the jeers of Europe,
. Our honour, faith, and name ;
That fumbling hands might quiver
,•
To speed the tyrant's work,
And seal, with self-destruction,
Betrayal of the T,ut lc. ,
eace ? With our German Legion !
Peace,/ -With the spy 'at home !
P,ectqcl,, With tho Claul at Stamboul !
' in/re:lid-ens at Rome ! .
The' Pole, revil'd and trampled—
aadlluagaria% dooui'd
' To fetter, cord, and dungeon—
Italia's cause entomb'd ? •
demirted,-
To struggle, mad to bleed,
Arid hapless Denmark fated
To glut.the,Cossack's greed?
By double-headed. Vulture, •
Like carrion dragged in gore,
The Wallach and Moldavian,
'hat, living bled before--
While, there await the Tartar,
, That traffick'd' with Mir host,
The g•ory, kuout suspended,
'Siberia's icy coast-
-Illuminate, ye Britons !
Andy drunk witlygold, defy;
Blind helots of your masters,
Fair Western Liberty.
A skeleton in fetters,
Slow rises from the grave
Of peoples to whom, dying.
Ye stretch'd no hand to save.
-Burn:gibbet-grease for tyrants— •
Gaol cressets trim for slaves—
Shout,, myrmidons, yo,ur triumphs-
- Smile, diplomats and knaves !
Illuminate, proud ;Alien !
In dream of better trade :
The sad pale brow of Freedom
Iu dust again is laid' ..
Illaurinate—to Maprinen !
ou
ysinktihnigs h. our ?
Orhonour, glory, raver.
But, as the false glare Conquers
The city's lurid glean,
The lamp dies into darkness
• In.sainted Valour's tomb.
'Neath yonder dim" Cathedral, .
Where England's heroes lie, .
There steal 'mid shivering llenrse.ounios
A wilisperiald a sigh,
