FOR THE SUN.

MR. Etiti'oß,—Ever since the Battle of Water..
too, I have been anxiously waiting to see an-
pounced as one ,of the subjects, at the English
Universities, fOr a PRIZE POEM, "The Glorious
Death of the last Duke ot BRUNSwICK:'
llithrr-
to my wishes have not been realised ; as, how-
ever, it is not too late, and as every passing day
tenders the connexion with the Bruusw i, k " Fa.
milt'" more endearing to the Empire, I trust the
spirit and correct feeling which pervade these
learned Seminaries, will induce those whose duty
it is to fix on subjects for the next year's prizes,
to appoint the Death of the late Duke of BRUNi-.
WICK as the subject for a Prize Poem, in English
verse. The heroism displayed by this gallant
Prince at the Battle of Waterloo—the filial affec-
tion and enthusiasm he bore for Ills FA:mi.:it's
.Memory-and his firm, sincere, and steady, ad-
herence to the FAITH of his Ancestors and to the
Reformed Religion, cannot fail to excite in the
breasts of Englishmen, to the latest posteri,.y, the
warmest attachment for Hts memory and diame-
ter. That HIS SONS may be spared 'to emulate
the virtues of their Illustrious Father, becomes
more titan ever _an object of the greatest solicit=
(tide to this country ; and, ‘vith the example of
their Royal and Illustrious Guardian the Duke of
CAMBRIDGE before their eyes, and under his fos-_
toting care and tuition, there is every coniolation
in the prospect before us, that they will realize
our most aII XlO expectation, and become distin-
guished ornaments of their August Family.

" Within a windowed niche of that high hall
Sate BatrNswlca's feed Chieftain; he did hear
That sound the first arzidst the festival,
And caught its tone with Death's prophetic Ear ;
And when they smiled because He deem'd it near,
His heart more truly knew that peal too well
Which stretch'd His FATHER on a bloody bier,
And towed the vengeance blood alone could quell :

HE rusted into the field, and, foremost fighting, fell."

In requesting your insertion of this Letter in
your independent anti excellent Paper, I do not
make any apology ; but you will oblige myself,
and several of your Readers in this neighbour-
hood, by pointing out to us any authentic publi-
cations in which we may find correctly stated the
circumstances of the conduct of the Duke of
BRUNSWICK from the time he left Brussels up to
the moment of his glorious Death.
