' NO more the thunders of the plain,
The fiery battle's iron shower,
. Terrific, drown the duteous strain
That greets our ;Monarch's natal hour ;
. Peace, soaring high on seraph wings,
Now strikes her viol's golden strings;
Responsive to the thrilling note
Symphonious strains of rapture- float,
Whilc grateful myriads in the Pan join,
And hail her angel voice, and bless her form divine.

Through many a whirlwind's blast severe,
The rage of elemental War,
Stern heralds of the opening your,
Sol urges on his burning car ;
.Though dark the wintry tempest lowers,
Though keen are April's icy showers,
Still still his flaming coursers rise,
Till high in June's refulgent skies
'Mid the blue arch of heaven he vielor tides,
And spreads of light and heat the unextinguish'd

G true sons, that hardy race,
• Who bravely o'er the briny flood
Smiling serene in dinger'S face,
tincheck'd by tempest, tire, and blood,
Britain's triuniphant Flag Unforl'd,
The terror of the wat'ry o 1 d ,
Now freely to the favouring gale.
Of Commerce, spread the ppic'eful. sail,
And friendly waft frarn every shore .
•
. Where Ocean's subjedi billows roar
The gifts; of Nature, and the works of toll,
Produce of every clime and every soil.
The Genius of the Sister Isles
On the rich heap exulting smiles,
" Mine the prime stores of Earth's remotest zone,
" Her choicest fruits slid flowers, her treasures all my own."

Nor second you 'mid glory's radiant train,
Who-o'er the tented field your ensigns spread
Whether on ',ince.lles' trophied plain
Before your ranks superior numbers ged ;
Or-on lerne's kindred coast
Ye crush'd invasion's threat'ning host;
Or on farn'd Egypt's sultry sands
The banner tore from Gallia's veteran bands;
Your sinewy limbs with happier toil
Now till your Country's fertile soil,
Mow with keen scythe the fragrant vale,.
Or whirl aloft the sounding flail, ,
Or bow with many a sturdy stroke,
King of our groves, the giant oak ; •
Or now, the blazing hearth beside,
With all a Soldier's honest pride,
To hoary sires and blooming Maidens tell
Of gallant Chiefs who fought, who conquer'd, or who fell.

Yet in the arms of Peace rcclin'd
Still flames the free, the ardent mind;
And should again Sedition's-rear
Or hoStile inroad threat our shore,
From Labour's field, from Commerce' wave,
Eager would rush the strong, the brave,
To form an adamantine zone
Around their patriot Monarch's throne.
But long with Plenty in her train
May Concord spread her halcyon reign,
And join with festive yoke the lay sincere
Which sings the auspicious morn to Britain ever dear.

The penalties for secreting Malt are suspended
by the Commissioners of Excise, for twenty days,
from the zoth ult, in order to give a proper oppor-

have secreted to evade the new duties,

A most ingenious plan is at present under the
consideration of the Direaois of the Bank of Eng-
land, for -eseftually preventing the forgery of Bank
Notes. Every friend to humanity must rejoice at
the prospe& thus held out, of putting an end to the
numerous executions, for forgery throughout the
cuuntry.

The insolence and cruelty of the Barbary States

who after having murdered all the crew, plundered

The vessel has since been towed into Leghorn by
some boats.

swallowed.-.-Bath Chrvu.
