The following is from the London Stan

We know not whether it will be worth

by letters from Vienna and limited at by
some of the journals Of that city. The ru-

Gar, despairinS of successful defence of
the Crimea. has resolved upon renewing
his attempt upon Constan;inople. by boldly
marching across the Danubian principaliteS,
now garrisoned and guaranteed by Austria.
We can give TO the Russian Government
credit for any daring violation of the rights
OF Independent neurals, and to Austria any
credit for cowardce and treachery. but still
we think the rumor of which we speak,
open to serious donht. We put war between
the Russian and Austrian governments out
of the question.
We know Austria too we'll to expect from

Our National Anniversary.

so! bright ming on the morning sky
The glorious foarti again appears.
And every heart is heating high
With warmth nnchilled by years;
o Joyous be the welcome shout
Proud day! we raise TO thee.
A voice of hope the world throughout
10 lands that would be free:
Whilst frightfully. 10 earthquake tone
ttlumbles meath the Tyraats throne ~
The glorious FoURTa-the seventy ninth
anniversary of a day when small band
of patriots assembled at Philadelphia de-
clared to the world that these States were.
and of right ought to be. free and inde-
pendent. has again dawned upon as. vet
free. happy and prosperous people. On
this DAY seventy-nine years ago. the des
potic expressions of tie British government
were exposed and denounced, and its pow
er defied. Until then the world had pa
tien;ly endured the dictatorial and tyran-
ic authority OF its despatic masters. but on
that day a new era dawned-the ascending
sun of freedom dispelled the dark clouds of
despotism that for long ages had enshroud-
cd it. and shone forth in all its grandeur
and glory. borrowing lis rays from no earth
ly power, indebted for its bri gh.ness alone
to COP.
A new prospect. whose future promised
to be bright and glorious. was opened to the
hopes of mankind h human energies, whose
existence were before unknown, we're ava
kened from their lethargic slumbers, and
called into spirited action. Instead of mo-
ping out useless existence in servile vas
salage, men began to place proper estimates
upon their own powers. and became inspr-
ed with patriotic desire to improve their
condition. The inyidious distinctions which
for ages had been drawn between titled
nobility and the people. were blottcd
out. and the high and the low, the rich and
the poor, were placed in the same social
scale. and estimated by the standard of in
trinsic worth. Bright as was that glorious
day in its immediate results its fa:nre was
still brighter. for whilst it delivered us from
the weight of a degrading bondage, it gave
new impetus to human action. some Of the
results Of which may be seen in our cclebra-
tion to-day. May We never cease to honor
this memorable anniversary of the birth Of
cur nation, nor to feel opr bosoms throb with
pride and gratitude at the glorious recoliec-
tlons it brings to cur minds.
Boon OF our father! in each hue
Now brightly sporting in the breeze,
Pure as when born the spirit true
Some deed recorded sees;
And reads in thy historic ravs,
All beautifully blended.
The mighty deeds ot other davs
When light from Heaven descended,
And thy rich stars were first uniurled
