Adam Gordon, between whom and
Swinton there existed an ancient and
deadly feud, attended with the mutual
slaughter of many followers, he instant
~ fell on his knees before SwiDton,
begged his pardon, and he desired to
be dubbed knigh. by him whom he
must now regard as the wisest and bold
est of that order in Britain. The cer-
emony performed, Swinton and Cor
don descended the hill accompanied on
ly by 100 men and a desperate valour
led the whole body to death. Had a
similar spirit been shown by the Scot
fish army, it is probable that the event
of the day would have been different.
Douglas, who was certainly deficient in
the most important qualities Off gene
raj, seeing his army begin to dispense,
at length attempted to descend the hill,
but the English archers retiring lit
tie, sent fight of arrows SO sharp and
strong that no armour could withstand;
and the Scottish leader himself, whose
panoply was Of remarkable temper,
fell under five wounds, though not NOR
tai. The English men or arms, knights
or squires, did not strike one blow, but
remained spectators of the rout, which
was now complete Great numbers of
the Scots were slain, and near 500
persisted in the river Tweed upon their
flight. Among the illustrious captives,
were Douglas, whose chief wound de-
prived him of an eye, Murdac con of
Albany, the Earls of Moray and An
gus, and about ga gentlemen of emf
neut rank and power. The chief slain
were Swinton, Gordon. Livingston of
Calender, Ramsay of Dalhousie, Wal
ter Sinclair, Roger Gordon, Walter
Scott, and others. Such was the issue
of the unfortunate battle of Holmi-
DON" To, this we have only to add,
that Gordon falls first, and Swinton is
slain whilst st standing over and defend
ing the body of his former foe. The
poem, for which these circumstances
furnish fine materials, will be about the
length of one of Lord Byron's smaller
publications.

ponents. This battle, and the hoary
veteran Graham, have been celebrated
by Scott in some beautiful lines at the
conclusion OF his .sYision of Don Roder-
ick.'' The report of the cannon and OF
the volleys of musquetry was distinctly
heard az Cadiz. where the contest ex-
cited great interest, as on it's issue, de-
pended. ina great measure, the result
of the siege which the place was then
suffering. Visited the field of battle
ON the second day after it had taken
place, and never shallI forget the heart
sickening-spectacle it presented. The
troops were employed in burying the
dead-the plain was literally strswed
with them, mangled and mutilated in
every way, with dead horses, broken
gun-carriages, musket-stocke, pixies,
and swords, shattered drums, fragments
of ammunition chests, baggage Wagons,
and an Infinite variety of other impli-
ments of war, while cannon and mus
ket balls were to be met with az every
step.
Few spots on the globe, can be found,
presenting at one view, SO many In.
teresting and beautiful objects, and
giving rise to so many grand and ab.
sorbing recollections. Wonder you
have the memorable plain, on which, In
one of the most destructive battles re-
corded in history, the crown OF Spain
and the life of its possessor were lost
the event of which subjected the king
dom to the dominion of the Saracens
and Moore, for the space of nearly
eight hundre d years, and whose effects
are still left and witnessed. Off that
cape was fought the celebrated engage.
ment which annihilated the naval power
of France and Spain, & put a period to
the achievements and existence OF the
greatest naval commander the world
ever saw-On that plain was decided
one of the most bloody and obstinate
encounters Of our day and there is
the city, which, founded by the Phe-
nicians, and subsequently possessed by
the Greeks, the Remains, the Vandals
and the Moors. has, in more recent
times, been the theatre of the exploits
and achievements of the renowned Ra-
leigh, the gallant snd unfortunate Es-
sex and the romantick and chivalrous
Peterborough, and which has SO lately
sustained one Of the longest and most
obstinate sieges of modern times, du-
ring which the whole art of attack and
defence was exhausted.

HALIDON HILL.

Sir Walter SCOTS return to his al
legiance to Muse, has naturally excited
much interest in the literary circles
and we have referred to the account Of
that disastrous battle, in order to give
our readers foretaste of it's poeticai
fitness. Previous, however, to our quo
ting Pinkerton for this purpose we may
mention, on the authority of an Edin-
burgh letter from friend on whom we
can place implicit reliance, that the
forthcoming poem is Dramatic sketch,
and likely to appear in about month.
The following is Pinkerton's state
ments. wide Hist. Of Scotland. -
douglas, stung with regret for the loss
of his brave friends and countrymen,
and ihhamed with rage against March,
his particular enemy, Immediately ap.
Piled to Albany for body of troops, to
be added to his own power, upon an ex-
petition into England. The govern.
or consented and dispatched consid
cradle force under Murdac his eldest
son; the Earls of Angus and Moray
also Joined Douglas, who entered Eng
land with an army of ten thousand men,
carrying terror and devastation to the
walls Of Newcastle. Henry Nv. was
now engaged in the French war against
Owen Glendour; but the Earl of North
cumberland, and his son the Hotspur
Percy, with the Earl of March, collec~
ted numerous army and awaited the
retur of the Scots, impeded with spoil,
near Milfield in the Northumberland.
Douglass had reached Wooler in his re-
turn: and perceiving the enemy seized
strong post between the two armies,
called Homildon Hill. In this method
he rlvalled his predecessor at the battle
of Otterburn, but not with like success.
The English advanced to the assault,
& Henry Percy was about to lead them
up the hill, when March caught his
bride and advised him to advance no
further, but to pour the dreadful show
err of English arrows into the enemy.
This advice was followed with the usu-
al fortune; for in all ages the bow was
the English instrument of victory,
and tho the Scots, and perhaps the
French, were superior in the use of the
spear, yet this weapon was useless af-
ter the distant bow had decided the
combat. Robert the Great. sensible
of this at the battle of Bannockburn,
ordered prepared detachment of ca.
valry to rush among the English archers
at the commencement, totally to dis.
Rerse them, and stop the deadly effu.
sion. But Douglass now used no such
precaution, and the consequence was
that his people drawn up in the face of
the hill presented one general mark to
the enemy,none of whose arrows descen-
ded in vain. The Scots fell without fight
tlilaspirited knight, Swinton, exclaimed
aloud, Omy brave countrymen! what
fascination has seized yeu to day, that
yon stand like deer to be shot, instead
of INDUCING your ancient courage, and
meeting your enemies hand to hand ?
Let those who will, descend with me,
that we may gain victory, or live, or
fall like men," This being heard by

Phou mournfh melodist OF night,
Whose song to solitude is given,
Why dost thou always shun the light,
As is la dread OF peril driven:
Why sad aud singly dost thou pour
The music of that evening lay,
So oft In darkness utter'd Ger,
But never, never heard by day:
Perhaps thou art Of holier birth
Than sunshine choysters OF AR,
A sky-burn spirit sent to earth, rs
Where all beside is silentthere,
Perhaps thy Law is caught from Tyres,
That sympathising angels sweep,
Who touch to human woe the wires,

Or art thou the undying shade
OF Love, too early torn away,
OF Beauty, that came forth to fade,
Like mist beneath the morning ray!
Alas that plaintiye note may tell
OF SORROWS that survive the tomb;
And yet it hath Joyous swell,
The sweeter for surrounding gloom.
Whate'er thy nature. lovely bird,
Thou hast an accent and tone,
More pensive than the parting word
OF lovers when they weep alone.
Thou hast wildness in thy voice,
An undeceiving eloquenee
That long will make thy haunt nav choice,
Though louder lays should call me thence.
The dawn of life has hurried by
When first hopes gilded banner stream'd,
And with 1.-THE unclouded sky
