TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Snt—You wished to have a Translation sent to you
of some Verses of the Marquis de Fulvy, which ap-
peared in your Paper of the sth inst. if you think the
following sufficiently expressive, you are at liberty to

insert it:

To thee, 0 generous Land! I owe
These days of peace I grateful know ;
Yet, spite of all thy friendly skill,
My bean a stranger pest was still :
Till sheltering him with wl.om I join
Each link of patriot love divine,
Thou dainist no ties estrang'd from me,
Who view my country now in thee.

EXETIN, JAN. 21.—This day Lieutenant HALIFAX,
of the Royal Lancashire Militia, whose engagement
to walk thirty miles per day, for twenty successive
days, has been already several times noticed, com-
pleted his laborious undertaking, and he was ushered
into this city in triumph, precede' by the regimental
band of music, and accompanied by an immense con-
course of people, both on horseback and on foot, who
celebrated his victory with rcpeated huzzas. The
number of persons of all ranks, both of this city and
the neighbourhood, who lined thz Topsham road, the
hedges, and the streets through which he !sussed. can
scarcely be credited—they must have amounted tc
scarcely less than 20,00.

aid being applied in vain.
