HIS MAJESTY': BIRTH DAr.

This day our MoR Gracioui Soverign completed'
his 69th year.—The aitfpieious day vas angered in
with the ringing of bells, aid the Park and Tower
guns were fired at the ufual hour.
The following ode, from the elegant pen of the
Net Laureat, was peifurmed at St. James's on the
occafion

Still does the trumpet's braten throat

Pour forth a mirtial found,
Still do the notes of battle goat

In warlike clangor round ;
Nor rural pipe not paft'ral lay,
In peaceful defcant hail the day
To grateful Britain ever dear;
The thunder of embattled plaint,
And thouting conqueft's choral (trains,
Bunt on the liftenlng car.

Yet while Bellona's iron car
Whirls o'er th' enfanguin'd plains,
'Mid Hyperborean climes afar

Stern War terrific reigns ;
While, with colonl power endow'd,
The rudders minifter of blood
Calls to his fcattcr'd naval holt,
Go forth, and bid the bolts of Fate
On Britain's trembling harbours wait,
Shut commerce from her coall :
Behold, the fovereign Queen of Wes;
The F.mprefs of the Waves,
Meeting the vaunt with fcornful (miles,
The empty menace braves;
And fee on Plata's (ca•broad fiream
Her banners wave, her bright arms gleam;
While, ploughing Ices of clank fame,
Nile yields once more to Albion's powers,
And Alexandria vails her towers
To Guilt na's mightier name.
Firm are the fans that Britain leads
To combat on the main,
And firm her hardy race that treads
In heady March the plain :
Aod proudly May her Bards record
The vielor arm, the vietor (word,
That drives the foe from Ocean's title ;
And !Madly too, with fond acclaim,
Chaunt trophied Maids's deathlers fame
With military pride.
Be hufied awhile each ruder round,
While Britain's grateful voice
Bids ail her echoing vales refound

The Monarch of her choice.
ThOtlgh round the Tyrant's bated throne
Arm'd lesions form an iron zone,
They eannot blunt Guilt's korpion fting,
While Virtue's facred wield is fpread
O'er Gloaos's heab'n•protedted head,
The Parent and the King.

We ate glad of an opportunity of torte/king an
error into which we were led by a Morning Paper—
correetion which will give fatisfaetion to our mili-
tary readers, namely, that the gallant Lord Hurc H.
SNSON is not fuperfeded by Mr. FRFRII : the latter
Gentlemen_ goes as Ambaffador to the King of Pruflia,
%ut Lord Htercatmsos continues as Military Com-
miffioner or refident with the Pruffian army ; and
we may, from his elegant pen, continue to expeEt
correct details of occurrences in that quarter to which
this country is at the prefent moment fo allied.
