No intelligence had reached Paris, on

concluded between France and Austria ;
and among the many ru1lors apoat, 1T was
said that Russia was about Joining Austria
against France and that the French and
Austrian armies were again in mot ion.

The day had dawn'd, the sun was low,
When, like rivers winter flow, "a
Swell'd by the mountains melted snow,
On sudden came the rushing foe
TO snatch lau!elI'd victory. s'
And many al, eve that halls that sight
And brightens at the coming light,
Like eagles In their cry flight,
Shall bid the setting sun good night, II
Amid the shouts of victory.
On as they rush, and rushing raise
Vain shouts anticipating praise,
They feel the still and steady gaze,
That all their fiery blood allays,
And awes noisy enemy.
Lo ! gloomy as polar night,
Ere thunder gives electric light,
Collected in their sober might,
The men of England meet the fight,
And stem the dashing enemy.
On! On! Old England bids you on
The foe are fierce, and two to one;
Now, now, or never, must be done,
A deed of fame--a battle won,
To match with Cressy's victory.
Then instant wide, the FIRE sheet spread,
Wide, instant was the havoc dread,
The dying fighting midst the dead,
A bold aud bloody spectre made,
OF furious, truitless victory.
Night wells the sllph'rous wclkin, torn
With lannon's roar and bugle horn;
From watch to watch the hum is borne,
While warriors wait the ling ring morn,
All eager for their enemy:
And now dawn streaks the eastern dun,
Slow night her sulky course his run;
Beep peals the adamantine gun,
And Britons welcome up the sun
That lights to- laureil'd victory.
On they speed as the Iight'ning's course
On they sweep with the tempest's force
The foe that stood, soon sunk corse
The foe that hetl-the trampling horse
Irode down in dreadful revery.
Ye British Lyons! bravely done
Great Talasera's days your own;
And England on her sea-girt throne,
Amongst her brightest days will own
Great I alayera's Victory!
