FL' NDERS., who hAsbeen so long detained
and cruelly treated iu clie Islan lof Bourbon,.ciune
home in the Olympia, the vessi that übrought the
Dispatches.,

This‘day mu. excellent -So...eretn completes the
FIFTIETH YEAR 11 his Reign.
Weare persuaded, thstt in expressing our detp
sense 'of grati s ude to the Supreme Disposer of
event for having extended the;reh4n 0n,.?•0f the.
best. Princes. who v r graced a -throne to loeiting
period, we shall give.bu,t.A faint echo of the,feelings
of our Countrymen on this- truly interessing occa-
sion, . The private virtues of His MAJESTY ..havq
ever been acknowledged and reercd by all parties,
•
and whatever differences of:opinion May have prevailed'
tespeding the event's, foreign and o,,mestic,' pros-
.
prr.tiuspr adverse„ which have occurred during his
reign, nobody has. presumed. to doubt that• it has
been his unceasing wish and uniform aim to sop=
port .the honour of the Empire, and diffwe happi-
ness over .his subjea/.—Nor base the benevolent
feelings of our goodliing been confined his Country;
for it is evident that 'ha hasbeen anxil:Us to extend
•
his proteCtion and assistanee to other Sti.tes. We need
only look to Spain and Portugal at this moment,,
shew the'iuterest which his MAJESTY takes in the
~
welfare of other countries, .hy his anxiety to rescue
them from French oppression..• Our revered Monarch
does not send his troops to enslave other States, but to
,protea them. His,are not the wars of ambition or
family aggrandisetnent, but of philanthropy,- a• zeal
for the independence of States, and a regard for the
proper liberties of man. Hence it-may justly be in-
ferred that such a life is dear, not only to the people
who immediately enjoy the blessings of hisfpaternal'
government,—not only to the people of those coun
tries whom he is endeavouring to save, from the iron
yoke of an ambitious 'and merciless ' Tyrant—but
that even the subjects of that Tyrant must look
wi:h esteetn and veneration upon our .beloved
Sovereign, 'as well as with a hope; that by
preserving other countries; he may contribute,
in due time to the,deliverance of their own from
,disgracefid and cruel usurpation. We could dilate
,with great'Vleasute ort 'a theme so interesting, but,
.
as.
we could say,._as.,we before observed,.woilld
but feebly convey the feelings which must waiver

sally anirnae our countrymen on this auspicious
occasion, we shall conclude with again expressing
our heat tfelt gratitude to the Divine Being fur, hav7:
lug Scrlong conferred on us the blessing of ttuly
Patriot the Father, Of People, and the
Friend -of-all.tnankind.. _ . .•
