June 4.

His Majesty this day entered into his sixty third year; and when we trace the records of British History, it is no flattery to say, that the British Throne has never been graced by a monarch who has exhibited such an uniform pattern of private virtue, or a brighter example of genuine patriotism.

Other monarchs of this country have been distinguished for their taste for military glory, but the manners of the times are changed, and our monarchs now do not risk the happiness of the Empire by personal danger.

The firmness, however, that his present Majesty has displayed upon many occasions not less trying than what are incurred in the field of battle, and particularly in the recent attack upon his life, entitles us to presume that if he had been personally called to the shock of war, his spirit and enterprize would most probably have equalled the most celebrated of our martial Kings. Such a monarch, while he looks back upon the page of history, must enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that he adds new lustre to that page, and affords a model which all future Princes may be proud to imitate, and cannot hope to excel.
