ARDIA VIRUNIQVC.

High Mounts the star of Spain l—cit'er Southern skies
Her triumphs kindle, and her trophies rise.
Lorne from • Arkinzon's steep along the gale,
The voice of conquest fills Zalora's vale;
The trumpets' clang, the loud artillery's toar, •
Prolong the peal o'er Ebro's echoing shore;
Avenging fires pursue the vaunting Gaul,
Hang on his headlong Bight, and urge his fall.
How chang'd the hour, since first invasion's hand
Flung,the wide fury cf his wasting brand
The hour of vanish'd Hope !—when Spain deplor'd
Her broken olive branch and shiver'd sword ;
When the rude spoiler mock'd her captive groan,
Protan'd her altar, and usurp'd her throne !
Then Albion heard;—her pitying eye %far,
Maik'd the sad course of Spain's declining star....
Then pour'd from all her isles the impatient brave,
Flash'd the bright steel, and hasten'd o'er the wave;
The Sons of Freedom fill'd the Gadian strand,
And Lusitania haii'd the generous band.—
Then, Oro' the myrtle's desolated bower,
The ravag'd temple, and the ruin'd tower,.
The citron's prostrate grove and wasted vine,
Spread the long glory of the British line;
While proud Castile resum'd the patriot spear, •
And dash'd from her pale cheek the indignant tear. -
Now issuing forth—as erst in elder day—
The kindred squadrons blend their bright array,
'Where the red cross of Albion streams on high,
And, Spain! thy banner'd lions brave the sky.
-He-comes! the Chief from India's burning clinic,
Of seta intrepid, and of front sublime !
From fort and tower, from mountain and from plain, •
He wins the trophies of exulting Spain !
Here Vimiera's earliest blossom springs,
.And her glad tribute Talavera brings;
Almeida's circling palms their triumph shed,
And high Rodrigo rears his castled head.
Here Badajoz prepares the conquering bough,
And Salamanca pays her laurelled vow; •
The proud Escurial opes her portals free,
And last, Vittoria crowns th emprize of VICTORY
These, Wettino•roa, are thine !—around thy sworsi
Her praises bath a rescued nation polled:
On Murcian hills, or Andalusian dales,
Through :man breezes, and through evening gales,
The youthful Hero, resting from the war,
Shall to thy glories tune his light guitar ;
And, mid the watchings of the serenade,
Sing thy lov'd triumphs to his listening maid.
Nor less shall Albion's voice thy praise prolong,
Strength of her hope, and treasure of her song!
In thee her Ai-rue R'S chivalry returns,
In thee her MARLBORO'S/OWE kindreal spirit burns!
Her HENRY smiles to see thy laurels bl,,ons,
And her Black Enivaan nods his triple plume!
Lord of the E..gle-glance ! to nerve thine arm,
Thy country's genius gives a mightier charm :
honcur'd RECENT pays the patriot weed
• • Of tyrants vanquish'd and of victims freed!
And oh ! shall Albion wonder to behold
Her conquering Sans their trophicd pride enfol.!,
'While }Us auspicious Grace hi-r erns. inspires,
Beams frrra thy crest, and kindles all its fires?
O.! lead o'er ttizilvelFrailce thy wll rigr train !
High mounts oar Albiou's son—high mounts the star of
Spain!

been previously farmed, which extended nearly the
whole length of the field) : each party, consisting of
six persons, set to with their antagonists, and the re-

The BeYast Chronicle of Saturday says—" In our

had his limb amputated. The names of the other
sufferers are, H. Connoly, who was wounded by a
bullet passing through the upper part of his thigh ;
J. Hamill, shot through the elbow ; Cassidy,
wounded in the arm by a- ball; and H. LAtvery, who
had his skull fractured by a blow of the muzzle of a
musket. The case of Cassidy is peculiarly distressing.
Being unwell, he applied to Dr. Mm ray -for some
medicine, but bad occasion w return to his lodgings
in Carrick-hill, for a small bottle, and while passing
for that purpose through the crowd he received his
wound.

" On Tuesday morning the 13th inst. F. Tore was
found lyirg at the foot of Bridge.street, in the town
of Lisburn, :tiniest lifeless, and conveyed home, where •
he shortly after expired. On Wednesday a Coroner's
Inquest was held on the body, when it appeared that
the deceased had been walking with the Oranr,emen
on Monday, and was last seen. on Monday night be-
tween 11 and 12 by P. Rogers, a publican, who de-
il)ed him as being tipsey, but not at all incapable
of taking, care of himself.—J. Dickey deposo, that'
he lodges at C. Valentine's, in Bridge.street, Lisburn;
that between 12 and one on Tuesday morning, he was
awcke by a noise at the door, that H. M'Blain, son
to Valentine, who slept in the same room, looked out,.
and exclaimed that there was Tone standing in the
street ; after- which he put on his clothes, as did also
F. Davis, who slept in the bed with him ; both then
went out with sticks ; in less than an, hour they re-
turned, and said they had given him as much as would
prevent his troubling them again that night. Dickey
also deposed, that he met M'Blain in the street its
the courx of Tuesday, who asked him, did he hear
that Tone W2S dead ?" and said, surely what we,
gave him (meaning himself and Davis) could not kill!
him !"—J. Frizzle, a countryman, who also slept in
the same room; deposed, that he heard M'Blain tell
his sister, that if she did not go to Hawkshaw's and
lodge information against Tone, he would not sleep
another night in the house. The evidence here closed,!
and the Jury shortly after brought in a verdict of
" Wilful Murder" against H. M'Blain and F. Davis,
who were accordingly sent off to Downpatrick gaol.
Both M'Blain and Davis are Protestants ;—and the
Coroner observe,l, that he was rejoiced to find that
nothing had appeared in the course of the examina-
tion,- that could lead to a supposition that the affair
was occasioned by party-work."
