Mr. ADAMS then, after expressing his regret at the cause of the absence of Sir FY:lnds, gavc—" The health of the able Opposer of Tyranny - and Oppress. sion, and constant Advocate of Parliamentary* Re form, Sir Francis Burdett." Hosnous; stated, that Sir Francis Burdett, would have attended but for the absolute interdict of his medical advisers. The toast having been drank with enthusiasm, . Mr. Joan BURDETT- expressed the gratification he felt at the manner in which Sir Francis's health had been received. He alluded to the • conduct of Sir Francis in the performance of his Parliamentary duty ; he alluded to the representation of Edinburgh, and said the same was the state of many parts of Eng land. The letter of Sir Francis was here read : " St. James's-place, May 23. Orsert.swem- 1 It Is hard to kick against the pricks, and im• possible against the gout.' Otherwise,notwithstanding the strong remonstrances of my excellent friend and physician, Dr. PEA R UM, I should have come, or rather have caused myself to be brought amongst you, in order to partake of your just and honest triumph, and to aid in the annual celebration of your independ ence; nor have I ceased to cling to this hope up to this last mo ment. I am, however, now that it is arrived, most feelingly con vinced of the impossibility of realising it. Much as I regret this on my own and on every account, I regret it particularly on ac count of being deprived of the pleasures of meeting some of the most staunch friends of Reform, who, from different parts of the country, are to join us in the celebration of this anniversary. " The co-oper a stion of these Friend's of Reform, and the union of all Friends of Reform, is, upon every occasion, most anxiously to be desired, as it is only by union and firm faith, and firm ac cord, and mutual agreements, that we can 'ever hope to carry Into effect this great and necessary measure. At a tine when so many interesting views present themselves to the notice of man kind—so many topics challenging the auention . of an• enlightened public—when Spain, undaunted by a foul confederacy of Aeapots e seems nobly prepared to endure every extreme, rather than yid& up her independence and national rights, in upholdingirrhich,slai is also upholding the' independence and rights of other nation % and on the successful issue of whose exertions the liberties of Ar' other People, and especially the People of France, greatly * pend—when Greece, to the wonder and admiration of the world, has burst bee ignominious fetters, and achieved deeds of herntsm, equally, if not surpassing her former renown, and accomplished, as it were, impossibilities, under circumstances the most heartless and discouraging, eliciting hopefram the deepest gloom of despair, and bidding fair to outrival her former glories in the same cause. 44 When every People in Europe, panting for rational freedom, is anxiously taming about for an opporttinity of shaking off the load of despotism that oppresses them; when our great and gal lant*countryman, your late Representative (Lord 'Cochrane), with limbs other resources than his own genius and couraie can supply, having unfurled the banners of liberty in another hew* sphere, is augmenting the renown of his country, and combattißil for the happiness of mankind; when, turning our eyes homewards,l we behold the march and progress of those principles of Iteform, the adoption of which alone can give i fair chance of develope ing all the energies of England; can alone give a chance of of redress to the manifold grievances of Scotland,- and the still more intolerable sufferings of Ireland ; when an opportunity pre sents itself like the present for exhorting the people of Scotland and Ireland to lay aside aU partial, unworthy pursuits of redress, and to join the honest voice of the liberty-loving people of Eng land for that measure, which will do equal justice to all—which will admit all men within the pale of the Constittnidn—which will exclude no man, on pretence of religious opinions, from the enjoyment of civil rights, but will, with an equal hand, admi nister to all equal justice, and thereby bind together the whole united Empire in one bond, strong as the axle on which the Heavens ride!'—a bond of mutual affection and mutual inte rest, by means of a fair Representation of the whole People in Parliament. " Believe me, Gentlemen, at such a time, and under such circumstances, to be compelled to forego the gratification of meeting my Constituents, the indepenSent and enlightened cid ' zeal of Westminster, is as great a mortification as the power of Fate could well have inflicted upon me, and that nothing short of absolute necessity could have forced me to yield to. Lientle men with deep regret, but with•most unfeigned sincerity, I sub scribe myself, Your most faithful and devoted servant, (Signed) " FRANCIS BURDETT." Mr. COKE, as one of the oldest Reformers in the room, begged leave to propose the health of one of the youngest, not the least powerful, " The steady friend of Reform, the constant advocate of the rights of the People, John'Cain Hobbouse, Esq." The toast being drank with the customary honours,' • Mr. HosnoNat returned thanks in a long speech, in which-Parliatrientary Reform, Dean &milt, French tyranny, Spaniih freedom, English degradation, and La s ed Byron's Poems, were made to dance the hays in metaphorical confusion. Mr. RICARDO, Mr. LAMBTON, Lord EBRINGTO. Mr. Coke, Mr. DZNMAN, Mr. Hums, and the Hon. H. G. BENNET, severally addressed the meeting, which separated at a quarter past eleven o'clock.

General Curial has received orders so set out with the troops which he commands • d repair to Santa . Colona, whence he will observe the serf rich and the corps of Milani, which that ' • place at Santa Scloni. • Baron d'Eroles proceeds by Pacafita upon Linsnes, so as to connect his march on Manresa with that of General Donadieu, who is proceeding towards. the - sarne point with all the forces of his division. The Royalist Chief Bozon follows this movement by ad vancing upon Cardona. Some chosen men detached from the corps of Baron d'Eroles are in - pursuit of Mina, in order to trace his march. According to the accounts that have been received, it should seem that he is retiring upon 13arcelona by Montserrat. The town of Olot remains occupied by a French battalion.
