PARIS, Atrausr 16. _ We can give the assurance that all that was stated die day before yesterday by the Conatitutionael and the Clavier, relatively to a long and warm .discussion be tween M. de Rayneval, holding ad interim the poste feuille of the Department of Foreign .Affairs, and the Ambassadors of England and Austria, en the subject of the expedition to the Morea, is completely.false. We,, have also ascertained that this'news can only have been invented by jobbers to affect the price of stocks. IL is possible, and we are indeed convinced of it, that England and Austria, on learning the departure of this ex?clition, felt some uneasiness with respect to the', sprit which is to direct it, and the ultimate practical object of it. It may be supposed, with some foundation, that explanations on this subject have been asked, but it is tithe that the Ambassadors of the two Powers have taken the step attributed to them, and that any sort . of discussion has taken place. On the contrary, every thing indicates that the most amicable and pacific dis position continues to prevail between the Cabinets of Paris, LondoeS and Vienna. General Maison arr►ved at Marseilles on the 7th, in the motning, and was received with the honours due to his rank. He was to set out immediately for Toulon, and twenty transports, hired. at Marseilles, were to sail in a few days for the same port. General Tiburce Sebastiani, the day after bis arrival at Marseilles,reaiewed theßith Regiment of Foot, which is to make part of his brigade. On the Bth in the even ing he set uut for Toulon, with General Hygopet and CGunt Maison. M.Vollan:, the Military Intendant, had preceded them. - Bricklayers and bakers have been engaged fur the expedititto. Some French men of war are cruising on the coast of Provence to protect our merchantmen against the Algerine corsairs. Letters from Marseilles say that it is impossible the espedition should sail on the 15th of August, and that it cannot depart before the 20th at the soonest. Letters from Fribtug say that' the number of pupils offered to the establishment of the Jesuits in that t twn is so great, that the fathers have been obliged to form a secondary establishment at Sion, though their house at Friburg will receive 1,200 pupils. Amottg the young Frenchmen who have lately arrived at Friburg is the young Duke de Caylas, the heir to his father's peerage, Mho came from Toulouse with his receptor.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE RELIEF,OF DERRY. 111014 TAM Dusuei avasnia MAIL. The Anniversary of this auspicious day, which Se. cured to Ireland the blessings of the British Constitu tion, was celebrated on Tuesday in such a manner as must be cbeering.to the Protestants of. the United Em pire. The morning was ushered -in by a discharge of artillery, and soon after four o'clock the bells of the ' Cathedral commenced ringing, and continued' -during' ' the day to send forth metry peals. By nine o'clock ;he vast numbers of the peasantry, all wearing Orange and Blue ribbons, arrived in town; and before twelve o'clock the adjOining country, for miles ground, had poured fourth its inhabitants, all being anxious to give eclat by their presence to the celebration of the Anniversary.— Soon after one o'clock Sir GRoams Hsu; **rived and was receiveck . with acclamations. • ' A few minutes before two o'clock the procession pro- ceeded in the following order Bands. Migh Constable, with Blue Wand of °lice: Pour Sergeants at Mace. ' Sword and Mace. The Members of the Corporation. • The Apprentice Boys' Clubs, all armed. Two Freemen•of Decry, bearing the ancient Standards taken from the French at the Siege. ' The Testimonial Committee (with Wands and Medals.) The Citizens and Strangers. • The procession having formed, it proceeded through Ship Quay Gate, up Ship Quay-street, round Corpora tion Hall, up to Bishops ' ( fate , thence on the Wail at Conyrighamlrow, and'dovin to the Testimonial. A vast crowd of persons thronged the walls, amongst whom were many elegautli dressed fentale.s, a'hu had pie. viously taken up their position neat the Te•tinionial.— The Statue was then .uttcp'verecf; . ind the flag raised by .Captain Bryson. Oa the Statue being.uncoveted, ,and the flag hoisted, Roaring bled fired seven raunds,which was answered by Captain Hutt, at Colmcite, by the ancient artillery on the walls, • and the vessels in the harbour. The firing party formed two divisions, on the right and left of the Testimonial, and flied three rounds, the band playing God save the King, The Boyne Water, and Rule Britannia, at intervals. Three cheers were then given for the Conatisution,And one cheer more Ur Protestant Ascendancy, when the whole party pro ceeded to the Diamond, and having again fired three rounds each, the party seeiratecl in the most peaceable manner. In the evening upwards of '2OO Gentlemen, sub- . scribers to the Testimonial, dined together in the Cor poration Hall. The Right Honourable Sir G. F. HILL,. But. M.P. in the Chair. At the President's table we oliserved Mr. TiAwsoN, M.P. Sir HUGUI STEWART. Bart. Sir R. FRRGusoN.Bart. the High Sheriff of the County, Mr. B. BERESPORD, Mr. C. GAG; and others of the leading interests of the County of Londonderry and the neighbouring Counties. The gallery was fitted up for the reception ut Ladies, and was crowded to excess. After the cloth had been drawn, The CHAIRMAN proposed the bealp.of “ the King," four times four—(Loud cheers). The customary toasts followed. To them succeeded—" The Glorious, Pions, sad Immortal Me mory of the Great and Good King William, who freed u from Pope and Popery, brass money," Ste. This toast was drunk with nine titres nine, the company all re prating it aloud. When the applause had subsided, the CALUILINAN laid—" Come,' boys, one cheer mere." Tins call was met . by cheering, which lasted for several minutes. Tbe ausarten then gave—" The blemory of the Rev. George Walker, the ihtrept4 aad auccembd Defender . of Derry; may hie .bright example for ever inspire•and actuate the Cidzeus of Derry.' Drunk in silence. • The CHAIRMAN—The next toast I have to propose is the Duke of Wellington and his Majesty's Ministers. L feel it necessary to remark, lest any misconstruction should be put upon what falls from me, that every pro. position I submit, and every observation I make, is made upon my own personal responsibility. rdo not presume, because in truth I am not authorised, to speak the sentiments of any Ministerial man. Having said so much as a precautionary measure, I call upon you now to fill full and drink—" The Duke of Wellington and his• Majesty's Ministers"—three times three. The next tout was—" Lord Hill and the Army"—(Cheers.) The Cnamotax—l will how give you— " The Shutting of the Gates of Derry on the 17th of December, ISBB, and the'Prentice Boys"—three times three—(Loud cheers.) Mr. GEORGE HILL, nephew tr the Chairman—Gen tlemen, I conceive that the state of Ireland demands your serious attention ; it is now your only re source to associate co mbine , petition, and appeal to the Senate ihul the Throne—(Chsers). Affairs are ap proaching to terisis, and from the increasing symptoms' of disorder which any observer may discern, we must expect some dreadful convulsion unless we are resolute, collected, and firm—(Cheers). It is now imperatively incumbent on every trusond sincere Protestant to arouse himself, and, shaking oTthe enervating lethargy which has hitherto benumbed his energies, to meet with un wavering determination the dangers which are gathered to overwhelm this country—(Cheers). If we remain in sensible and unmoved spectators of passing events—if we see and hear, but take no heed, the designing will rush forward to take advantage of' our quiet, and amidst the fears of the timid.. the indecision of the neutral, and the apathy of the careless—those rights for which your ancestors shed their blood will be wrested from us—those defences which were raised by the wisdom of sages ,aromid the beauteous fabric of our Constitution will be' . pulled down—,and too late we will perceive that all these blessings are not given up to the prayers of ap enlightened people, but have been ravished from us by the insidious ms nceuvres,of a reckless and intritning Priesthood, who are the minions of a foreign Ecclesiastic, the tools of a rehullious Association, and the agents of a religion, the unbounded and mysterious influence of which enables them to wield at .will the millions of the Catholic po pulstion—fLoud cheering). Already have the Priests ranted that power; they have tried the terrors of their spiritual authority—they have disorganised our 40.. citty—burst the bonds which brought together, in re. ciprocal obligation, •the landlord and tenant—misled 'the peasantry, and, 'in short, have thrown off the mask which .hypocrisy for a time had induced • them to assume—(Cheers). • Their. views now stand clearly defined ; they have joined with the politicians of 'their body, and they must. belie their religion, which maintains as principal tenets, exclusion and supremacy, unless they confess that Emancipation is only the first and least object of their fond anticipations--(Cheers).' Gentlemen, • would tsk you to examine the circum stances which caused our foretathers to unsheath their swords, and ialyekl,edsbtes co encounter the Revolution of 1688. Did thy,, in their wisdom, kindly court the confusion which accompanivd such-an event? Did they unadvisedly embroil themselves in the consequent dis order? No. History faithfully records the at ti , g.int as sumptions and usurpations of Popery, which first called for their interference, and lastly prompted them to secure, by restrictions, the precious treasure of our civil and religious libertiesjLoud cheers), Has then the ge nius of Pophh ambition changed so Much that we may. now adniii the Ronne Catholic to a, participation of political powet . ?—(Cries of " No, no"). Cast your thoughts . down the stream of time, and you pill find that each conuisotion in which the Papists engaged, owed either its origin of csiodeualitito that domineer ing tyranny, the inherent piinsiplis' of Catholicism, which, unchanging and unchangeable, wpuld enthral the world, and be content only with ascendaacy. Would any person here wish to admit, in brotherly participa tion, to every privilege of the State, the M.P. of the Association,who boasts in one breath that Church spolia tion, Radical Reform, separation from England, and national independence, ate his anxieties; and in the next tells you, that through theagencv of his spiritual chief tainsolie Priests, he can .manage as one man the immense numbers of the Roman Catholic community? (Loud cheers.) As the opinion of an individual this is •depicable. slut this man is addressed in every town, courted in every cabin, caressed in every village, and avowedly speaks the sentiments of Catholic Ireland— be is the organ of the people. Gentlemen, to men mai shelled in such an at itude, and speaking such senti ment:, I would•grant nothing—(Loud cheers). Oppose their claims with courage—(Cheers), or concede them in fear.: 1 can express the opinions of those Inc whom I apeak. I can say that the leather aprons of Derry will close the portals of the Constitution against omit embo died in this manner, as their brave predecessors, in days of yore, flung to the gates of this maiden city against the bigot foe—(Loud cheers). I would advise the Pro tenants of Ireland to imitate their example, and would say to them in the words of the poet, Oh, ye brave few, in whom we still may find Some love of virtue, freedom, and mankind, Go forth, nor let the syren voice of ewe Tempt yOu to sleep when tempests rock the seas: Go forth, nor ktltypocrisy, whose tongue With many a fair false fleeting art is hung, Like Bethei's fawning prophet cross your. way, When yoir great errand brat s not of delay. Nor let vain' Fear, who crieno all she meets, Trembling and pale—" a lion in the streets"— Damp your free spirits—let not threats affright, Nor bribes corrupt, nor flatteOes delight ; Be as one man—concord success ensures; There's not a heart in England but is yours. Go forth the champions of your native land, And may the battle prosper-1n your hand ; • It will, it must, you cannot be withstood, Be your hearts honest as your cause is good ! (Mr. Mu resumed his Jeat'amidst loud cheering). " - The Primate and the of Ireland,"—three times three. W. L. Coternowass, Esq. the High Sheriff of the County, pro. posed the health of Sir George Hill, which was received with rap tures of applause, and drunk with every demonstration of respect and attachment. • Sir GYORGIC HILL—I feel greatly indebted to my friend, Mr. Conyngham, who is actuated, I am quite sure, by private friendship towards myself, for the honour he has done me in proposing my health. When I see what the objects of these men are who agitate the - country—wheol see that one of their objects is to sepa rate this from the sister country—when I see that another object is radical reform, or in other words to upset the Constitution as at presen t ; established—why then, Gen acmes, I say, when I re these thine, 1 think it only necessary to tepeat to yoti c titit to the end of my lifel . shall endeavour to resist their efforts—(Cheers). Their next object is a spoliation of the Church property. That scheme likewise demands my utter contempt. I now come to the means by which they hope to accomplish these objects. The first iisthe illegal oppression of his Ha. jesty's subjects, in extorting 'ffiim them the Popish Rent. The next is the organization of the Roman Catholic population, terrible and menacing as it has been truly described. Gentlemen, the organization has been car ried to such an extent as almost to warrant the Popish Leaders in boasting that they possess the Government of the country in their own hands. The next means by by which they hope to carry their object is, by esta blishing an armed association in the country, whilst. at the same rinse, they seek to have the yeomanry of Ire land, to whose exec tions its very existence is indebted, deprived of their arms. They have had the audacity to institute an order, which they have dignified withthe title of " L'berators"—:.and not content with threatening us with invasion abroad; they tell us that if 300 Gen tlemen 'presume to-congregate in this room 'ter drink the Glorious Memory, and celebrate the anniversary of the day vhich secured us a Protestant Constitu tion, they will match a horde of their dupes, consists ing of one hundred and fifty thousand men, from the South of Ireland, to deprive. us of our proper ties, and annihilate the Protestant population of Ulster. (Cries of" Let them come, let them come.") In addition to all these, a Committee of Grievances has been estab lished—but why of grievances? The Courts of Law, Gentlemen, are open to all who feel aggrieved; butthe Popish Agitators hold the law in contempt. The Courts of the country are passed by, and redress can only be had from the Popish Committee of Grievances. Gentle men, in the year 1793, the Government, with a liberality that has not yet been . extended to England, opened the Elective Franchise to the Popish peasaitr). How they have used it, it is scarcely necessary for me to say. It is a matter of triumph to the Agitators, that they hate severed the ties by which the Country Gentlemen and Sqrsirewer e bound to his tenantry, and they Wee transterred, in point of fact, the Representation of the country to the Priesthood, and a few contemptible miscreant,, - who wield the power they have assumed with the greatest des potism. Gentlemen, the next means which the Popish Association have adopted to secure our annihilation, is by having directed a mission from their body to invade our hithert peaceable county. It is avowed by lone of those missionaries that he is the representative of the Associa tion, the delegate, in fact, of the Roman Catholic Par liament. I pronounce . this to he in direct violation of the law, and coining within the narration of the Con vention Act : and it I get the facts stated on oath, I will forthwith issue a warrant against him, and . without consulting any of the authorities of the country, I pledge myself to put him, on my own responsibility, in a situa tion where he will be debarred from doing further tnischief, - at all events until he shall be set at liberty by a verdict of his countrymen—(Cheers). 'have Only one topic more to refer to, and coat is, the nature of the pledges they require from the, candidates who shall be entitled to their support. And what are these? why; trith an assumption, an arrogant assumption, unparalleled I do believe, they say co the King upon his throne. poor and insignificant creature that -you are, ysu shall not have Vie free privilege of choosing your own Minis ters. But if you dare choose them in defiance of our threat, we tell you no man shall be returned for Ireland who will not oppose them. It is, Gentlemen, a grlerto me, that the Roman Catholic body, which I wish well, should be governed by a set of miscreants.suCh . as I have described. Gentlemen, I h ave SAS in Pall-imam as the Representative of Deny for 36 years, and '1 am not conscious of having -ever in 'that period done a single act that could tend in the slightest degree to compromise the feelings of the Protestant citizens of Derry. If a moment should come when a probability arises of setting this question at rest, .I shall attend with the greatest alacrity to an y advice' you may deem it necessary to give me 'upon the subject; I do wish this question were set at rest, but for my part I despair of it while the present aspect of affairs continues unaltered —(Cheers). I never in nay life felt the slightest hostility to a Roman Catholic on the !score of religion; I have many intimate friends of that persuasion, and only wish that by extinguishing those who mislead the people, we may all be permitted to join in maintaining the rank, character, and respectability of our native land. To you, my fellow citizens, I ag a i n re t urn m y t h an k s , an d shall conclude by proposing— !' " Protestant Ascendancy in Church and State!"—three times , three, with one cheer more. The Cnaittuaatt—The next toast I have to give you is, that a the health of my Friend and your Representative, George Robert Dawson—(Cheers). The toast was then proposed from the Chair, and drank amidst loud cheering. ' Mr. DAWSON—After the lapse of near a eentery and a half, it has pleased the inhabitants of this eidightehed and wealthy City to erect a'splendid testimoniallniom• meaaoration of the valour,the fortitude, the unpatalleled patience, under sufferings of every description, ausa the success of choir forefathers in the defence of:their City against a foreign foe and a domestic cum'', in support of their religion, their property, and their liberties. If there were any topics calculated to rouse the feelings of the heart, if any. impulse were wanting to animate the emotions of a manly breast, where Can we find a more noble incentive for any true patriot than in claiming his sympathy for men who risked their lives, and encoun tered all the horrors of a lingering death, amid plague, pestilence, and famine, in support of their religion, their country, and their liberty ?—(Loud cheers). — What words are more heart stirring, or penetrate mote deeply into the human breast, than the triumphal song .in celebration of the warriors who have defended our altars, our homes, and nor country?—(Cheers). What theme can be so ennobling, both as a mark of .grati tude to the illustrious dead, and is an example to those who live, as the record oT. daring exploits and 1 successful valour ? And whet* could a Poet of the warmest imagination find a mom glowing picture of the brave, the patient, the invinc iblesspldiFr, than in the description of those scenes of caroage s iaf pestilence, ,and famine, which aggravated in an unspeakable de gree the approach of death, and which history has re corded to nave occurred withia these very walls?... Gentlemen, I have said that we are called upon to cele brate the valour and success of oar forefathers in the defence of their city against a foreignfoe and a don.ctic enemy. What a multitude of reeollectiempdoes such an unnatural combination present—what a pjinful retro spection for every true lover of his cliuntry—a foreign foe and a domestic enemy—(Cheers). •Inauch a union are combined the horrors of a foreign 'invasion and a civil war, the two greatest curses which can afflict a -, ,
