When Fre-idotn from her mountain height Unfurled her Standard to the air. She tore the azure robe of night, And set the star of glory there ! She minted with its gorgeous dies The milfcy baldric of the skies, And striped its pare celestial white, With streaking from the morning i ight ! Then, from his mansion in the sun, 6he called her eagle bearer down, Arid gave into hisxmighty hand The symbol of ber chosen land ! Majestic monarch of the cloud ! Who rear'st aloft: thy regal form,. To hear the tempest trumping loud, ' And see the lightning lances driven, When strides the warrior of the storm, And rolls the thunder-drum of haaren t Child of the sun ! to thee His given To guard the banner of the free To hover in the sulphur smoke, To ward away the battle-stroke, r And bid its Mendings shine afar, Iike rainbow oa the cloud of war ''f-- The harbinger of victory ! Flag of the brave ! thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope, and triumph high ! When speaks the signal trumpet's tone, And the long line comes gleaming on, Ere yet the life-blood.'warm. and wet, Has dimmed the glistening bayonet, Each soldier's eye shall brightly tuni To where thy meteor glories burn, Ana as nis springing itcp auiauw, Catch war and vengeance from the glance! And when the cannon's mouthings loud, H' aVe in wild wreaths the battle Bhroud, And gory sabres rise and fall, Like shoots of flame on midnight's pall ! There shall thy victor glances glow, And cowering foes shall sink beneath v Each gallant arm that strikes below ; J That lovely messenger of death ! Flag of the seas ! on Ocean's wave, Thy stars shall glitter o'er the brave, When Death .careering on the gale, y . Sweeps darkly round the bellied sail. An I frighted waves rush wildly back Before the broadside's reeling rack, The dying wanderer of the sea ' 6 hall Took at once to hedven and thee, And smile to see thy splendors fly, -n triumph o'er the closing eye. , Flag of the frec-heart'e only home, .By angel hands to valor given! " Thy stars have lit the welkin dome, And all thy hues were born in heaven ! ?or ever float that standard sh.et ! ; Where breathes the foe but falls before, us, With Freedom's soil beneath our feet, y, And Freedom's banner streaming o'er us!

' - It is a fact not commonly known that guineas, which have now for nearly 20 ears ceased to form part of the circula tion, still exist in the hoards of private in dividuals to a very large amount, as may be inferred from the circumstance that from 3000 to 4000 aTe on the average daily paid into the bank, to be exchang ed for notes or sovereigns. Most of these guineas are nearly new, or in a very per fect state. The inference is, that" they were originally laid by,during the dis trust and apprehension excited by the t; bank restriction, and - are now - brought out again by a greltfer degree of confi- , dence in the government, or perhaps, in some instances, for such distrusts are not easily removed, by the death or testament -tery disposition of the individuals con cerned. It is estimated by good judges that at the neriod of tho ha ihete existed gold in the country to thej amount of 30,000,000. nearly ill of which disappeared from circu'auonj so that the tide above described may continue to flow lor a very long time to eomeL J he fact lis more worth notice at tins time, since ll is one of the causes among many others now in progress, of the great circulation.
