4th division, and Sir C. Grant's brigade of cavalry.; | and upon his report of the strength of the place, I sent the whole division yesterday morning. I have now the satisfaction of reporting, that Sir Charles Colville took the town by escalade yesterday evening, with trifling loss, and from the communications which he has since had with the Governor of the citadel, 1 have every reason to hope that that post

will have been' surrendered to a Governor sent there

by the King of France, to take possession of it, in the course of this day. St. Quenten has been abandoned by the enemy, and is in possession of Mar. shal Prince Blucher; and the castle of Guise surrendered last night. All accounts concur in stating that it is impossible for the enemy to collect an army to make head against us. It appears that the French corps which was opposed to the Prussians on the 18th inst, and had been at Wavre, suffered oonsiderably in its retreat, and lost some of its cannon.

BELLA HORRIDA BELLA!

At length once more are loos'd the dogs of war,
To spread wide waste and desolation far;
To deal destruction on our fellow-men,
To place the Bourbon on the throne again.
Imperial Russia's num'rous hordes advance,
With Europe's monarchs leagued to ravage France
Now march to give to gallant Frenchmen laws,
And dare assert, they fight in Freedom's cause;
But the base object which they seek to gain,
Is on the free-born soul to fix the chain.

England, alas! the hostile league has join'd
Lost to her honour, to her welfare blind;'
Justice, with meek-eyed Peace, has fled the land
Subdued by base Corruption's withering hand;
Who, o'er our isle, has stalk'd with giant stride,
Destroy'd, what once was Britain's greatest pride,
Her boasted liberty—whose sacred flame,
Rais'd to the highest pitch the British name.
The country's shatter'd vessel from the grave;
Will no one seize the helm, and try to save
Must she ignobly perish in the storm,
Will no one raise the bold protecting arm?
Where is that manly, dauntless spirit flown,
Which once belong'd to Englishmen alone,
Which in the cause of Justice drew the sword,
And the stern voice of Honour only heard;
When to a tyrant they submission scern'd,
But with their blood, their rights, their freedom,
earn'd.

Dead is that manly spirit, or we ne'er
Could join those wretches who delight in war;
Whose hearts are callous to their country's woes,
And who alone are England's direst foes.
What signal punishment bas Heav'n in store
For those who basely sell, for sordid ore,
Their country's freedom and her peace destroy,
And in her deep distress find horrid joy.
The day of retribution soon must come,
When these vile wretches will receive their
doom;

Their unavailing sorrows then will flow,
For rigid Justice will no mercy shew,

But on their coward heads will fall th' avenging blow.
