DISCOVERY OF A MANUSCRIPT.
TO THE EDITOB O* THE PRESS. -■■': s following fragment was picked up on the Lincoln road, in the neighbourhood of Halswell. The owner can have the original manuscript by applying to "Briton," care of this office;—_ ' The Marseillaise, the Marseillaise, how many a thought its notes must raise, of blood and war, and that sweet time disgraced by every sort of crime. And though those daya are pagsed away ; their memory still is dear to Rae; and in our streets he fain would raise the Commune's hymn, the Marseillaise. And when the noble sire ia gone bis patriot son will still Jive on, to sing his solo, and to praise deeds which attend the Marseillaise. But while ,these miserable TWO pipe up that anthem, which is due to Absinthe upon *'pot-au-feu," and feeds the guillotine We'll raise that grand old British song that never was allied with wrong, and shout, TWO HUNDRED MILLION strong, 1 ' God- save Our Gracious Queen." .-•-,. ... -o Briton.
