After hot punch and cigars had been handed about out of doors, a necessary refreshment in this cold night, the music recommenced, and the whole ended with the national hymn of Spain, with appropriate words. A young Spanish girl, whose voice is celebrated here, was then entreated by those within, and beseeched by those without, to sing alone the Hymn composed in honor of C
n, which she naturally felt some hesitation in doing, before such an immense audience. However, she consented at last, and in a voice like a clarion, accompanied by the orchestra, sung each verse alone, joined in the chorus, by the whole crowd. I give you a copy.Himno Patriotico qne varios Españoles Residentes en México Dedican al Esmo Sr. Don A

CORO.
Triunfamos Amigos,
Triunfamos enfin,
Y libre respira La Patria del Ciel.
La Augusta Cristina
De España embeleso,
El mas tierno beso
Imprime á Ysabel:
Y reina, le dice
No la sobre esclavos;
Sobre Iberos bravos
Sobre un pueblo fiel.
Triunfamos Amigos, &c.
