BARON DUDON. DRAPER'S ANNUAL DINNER.—CITY JANUARY 29. At the annual dinner of the Draper's this day, Mr. Warden Wrench informed the assembly that they were honoured with the presence of one of the Cabinet Ministers of the ex-King of France, and after eulogizing his talent and amiable manners, proposed the health of his Excellency Baron Dunox, which was received with every testimony of satisfaction. The Baron returned his thanks in the French language, which not being generally understood, Mr. Wlrzonn (who accompanied him) addressed the assembly as follows : In rising to interpret the sentiments of the eminent satesman, whom you have just honoured with such cordial expressions of generous hospitality, I cannot refrain from begging you to accept my own thanks for your kindness towards that distinguished individual—with whose con fidence, intimacy, and friendship, I have been honoured for nearly twenty years, and in whose present and future wel fare and happiness I feel, as it is my duty, the warmest and most affectionate interest, and nothing, I am sure, he begs me to state, has given him more heartfelt delight (a Nile it was quite unexpected), than your friendly reception of him this evening, a reception which does honour to this society and to the British nation. Gentlemen, I know and applaud those wise rules of this corporation, which exclude all politics from these convivial meetings ; but this is a peculiar example of fortune. I trust that upon a question of purely foreign politics, and the consequences of which must, however, sooner or later, and I fear speedily, come home to the business and bosom of every gentleman present, you will indulge ate with your pa tience for a few observations upon the recent revolution in France, and the present state of the French Capital. Upon that convulsion, which has occasioned the temporary retire tuent from his native country of the nobleman who sits be side me—of a man, who having already in tender years en dured the affliction of seeing his father and grandfather perish upon the same scaffold, martyrs in the cause of loy alty to their King and the laws, is now, in his turn, himself an exile with the legitimate inheritors of that ancient mo narchy—a man who, I will now venture to assert, and' giving full credit to the general principles of loyalty, pa triotism, and talent in that gallant nation, has not, on quit ting France, left behind him a truer Frenchman, a wiser or more expert statesman, a more sincere patriot, a better friend of rational liberty, or a more enlightened and amiable mem ber of society, than himself, be he whom he may, and I speak from an intimate knowledge of the French capital for more than twenty years, up to within a very few weeks since, when I last visited France. Baron Dudon has a right to the title of a true Frenchman, and a patriot : his property was confis cated by the republie, and he served in the ranks of the republican armies, and rose by his courage, merit, and genius, to the post of Intendant-General, or Viceroy, of the northern kingdoms of Spain, during the campaigns of the British armies in the Peninsula. Until Napoleon ab dicated, he was as faithful to him, as he has since proved himself to the restored dynasty, to whose cabinet he was called in the moment of danger, and after the promulgation of the fatal ordinances. He was therefore no party to their promulgation, but he saw and felt the approaching necessity of a more vigorous system of internal policy. The temporary restriction on the press would, if executed, have spared many evils : that wise (only because necessary) precaution was rendered abortive, by the errors in its execution. Prinse Polignac, by deciding for himself upon the time and mode of its enforcement, incurred and has sub mitted to the consequences of its failure. Gentlemen, the fittest pledges of the necessity of rein; forcing the executive, are those ministers who experienced the irresistible pressure of the rising force in the people, which if not counteracted and quelled, would have overawed and impelled the monarch into measures, injurious and fatal to the honour of the King and the peace of Europe and the prosperity of France herself. In such a predicament the history of all civilized nations, ancient and modern, (and of none more than the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act by Mr. Pitt) has shewn, and established as an axiom :—That it is the first duty and the chief virtue of a minister to preserve the state, at the risk of his own responsibility, for a violation of established laws. Gentlemen, it is in vain to disguise the fact. The French people were impatient of their long repose ; and I am far from treating as criminal (except in a political sense) that noble aspiration after military glory, which warms the heart of every Frenchman, but which has proved so pernicious to their own permanent interests, and so fatal to the ex istence, of so many neighbouring States. It may be said, the present tranquillity of France refutes the assertion, of the necessity for the ordinances. This is an error. The present sovereign and ministry were not the Chiefs of that party, which hurled the exiled family from the throne. On the contrary they seem to have been placed in readiness by a special Providence, to arrest for a moment the dangerous career of the republican movers ; and the criterion of the real necessity for extraordinary powers to the government of Charles the Tenth, will be the permanence of that king and that ministry. They have recently es caped from the attacks of an opposition so formidable, that but for the interference of one distinguished character, the Orleans dynasty would have ere now ceased to reign. Ido not contemplate the possibility of their protracted resistance -to the national passion for military glory. In the mean time, what evils have already resulted from the ill comprehended cry of liberty, over distracted Europe. Consider the state of Belgium, of . Poland of Switzerland, of Hanover, of Ireland. Gentlemen, civil liberty, like ardent spirits, becomes a blessing or a curse, according to the capacity of the posses sor, and the measure of the dose. Taken in moderation, it enlivens and invigorates beyond that exact proportion ; it intoxicates, maddens, and de stroys. Time alone can resolve the question whether the French un der Charles the Tenth enjoyed or abused the liberty, best adapted to their permanent interests. They have thrown off the bonds of allegiance to their lawful sovereign—a re volution has been accomplished,—and as every 'free is hest known by its fruits,—the late Mi nisters are condemned to await with patience the result of the subversion of their well-intended efforts to . pre serve the peace of France and the world by the only means which to them appeared feasible. Those efforts were abor tive, they being physically unable to carry them- into exe cution, against the national will. • A Should those who now possess the reins of power prove strong enough to preserve inviolate the faith of treaties, and to preserve the rights of neighfiburing states from infrac tion, 'then will they admit that they have misjudged the rising spirit of their gallant cotinmen, that they have pre maturely curbed what they d readed for the sake of France, their effervescing irdour for military conquest, and submit in silence to the assure present age and posterity, But should eves the t highly-gifted Sovereign of the People's choici and b atriotic sqd experienced tdin4ters prove in their tan dgailly powerless, as thslate l Ning ,144 his Ministers. .vo s colee ell popular storm ; should Fra nc s o second lime, and for twenty years to come, carry war sod devastation into the bosom of so lately peaceful, prosperous, and happy Europe, to be again driven back by the desperate combination of all Europe against her. Then, indeed, the Baron Dudon and his colleagues will not regret but glory in the efforts they ineffectually made to avert those evils and horrors from France and humanity, but they will more deeply regret, and we, gentlemen, shall all of us have good cause to deplore that their honest, loyal, and patriotic endeavours were not crowned with the success they merited. aITISH PANORAMA OF THE . gMPLRE.

The following petition, respecting the Tythe System and Church Revenues, has been signed by many tythe payees at Bertoa-under-i Nsedwood, and sent to Mr. Littleton for presentation : To the Honourable the House of Commons, in Perlis:non assem bled. The Petition of the Tythe Payers of the pariah of Taught% the county of Stafford, humbly strength,— That the pariah of Tatenhill, comprising the townships of Tit/shill, Danstall, Callingwood, and Bartmander.Needwood, is a rectory tithe estimated value of between 2,0001. and 3,0001. per annum. That the present incumbent is the Very Reverend the Dean of Uch field, of whom, as a rigid exacter of his lawful dues, your petitioners do not complain ; but to whom, being a non-resident, they, In common with his more humble parishioners, are not indebted for any spi vitual aid. That the clerical duties of this extensive parish are performed by two curates; any of them officiates at Tatenhill, the other at Barton nader-Needwood ; that their united stipends do not exceed three hun dred pounds per annum.

That your petitioners trace the cause of the univeesal embarrassment and distress among themselves, and of the want and wretchedness among the labouring and industrious dosser beneath them, to the per nicious pressure of taxation ; and in looking round them for relief from this deadly weight, the sources of tythes and church revenues present themselves to them as legitimate means of effecting in part, that object. That your petitioners, therefore, pray that your Honourable House will take immediate measures to abolish altogether the abused impo sition of tythes, providing in some more equitable and efficacious manner for the support of the parochial and labouring clew; nal further, that your Honourable House will, after reserving an adequate income for the above purpose, appropriate the whole of the property now possessed by the Church to the exigences of the State which means, and others under the eentroul of your Honourable louse, your petitioners are convinced That the crying evils of the land may be wholly removed, and this ones prosperous, energetic, and en viable people, be restored to the booninees they formerly enjoyed, and to the'consideration they heretofore Mla among the minim of Metope.

POLICE REPORT& OUILDNALL....-TWO brothers, smosil Robert and War. Mason, were charged with stealing about three yeas of silk, and a quantity of ca li co, from Mr. Rumbold, a tailor, in Fleet-street. George Collier, a police constable, stated that, having apprehended a brother of the prisoner's on suspicion of committing a burglary at Stoke Newington, last week, he had occasion to search the prisoner's lodging at Horton, and he found in a box the silk and calico, two new p a i r o f tanners, two new waistcoats, and several remnants of cloth. Upon ing the prisoner Robert, who alone was present, about the silk, fake bad been given to him by his brother, in Fleet-street, for the mem tinning some clothes he had engaged him to make up fo r Ms; ismiseld. M. Rumbold identified the silk and calico, but be could not du su 4.c., ..., to the other property brought away by the policeman, al. sespected it bad been stolen. The prisoner had been in his aft three weeks. prisoner William stated, in his defence, that having received an order in Friday to make a suit of clothes by Monday afternoon, he gave the work out to his brother Robert. He looked for some silk for lining, and not finding any at the moment , be told his brother to b u y ' some and charge it. On further search , however, he found the re m . Dent produced, sod gave it to his brother, intending to enter it to his own account, when he could ascertain the price of It. The cloth produced he had purchased at Mr. Black's, in Fleet-street, and the waistcoats at Mr. Charley's, in Little Bell-alley. The prisoner William was committed for trial; and his brother Ro bert was bound over to appear at the Sessions as one of the witnesses against him. BOW.STRZIT.—Richard Moore Benson, an attorney, was brought up in custody of Stevens the o ffi cer, before Sir RICHARD RIME, charged whh having unlawfully pawned a variety of articles of consider able value, the property a John Percy Sorel, Req. barrister-at-law, whose chambers were sometime ego No. A, Inner Temple-lane, but are now in Clifford's-fon. Mr. Sarel stated that, in the early part of last summer being em. ployed, by a certain Noble Duke, to examine and m akei extracts from the ancient records relating to the family history of his Grace, in the Tower, .and the British Museum, he wished for that purpose to reside near one of these places, and his chambers being consequently unnecessary, he let them furnished for a few months to the prisoner, who, aeon after getting into possession of them, began to pledge almost every article they contained, and in this manner soon got rid of every thing that was portable, including bed and table linen, sod books. At the shop of a pawnbroker in Fleet-street he pledged 109 volumes of law books, every one of which contained his (Mr. Barer') name. The bed and table linen was also marked. The continued in the occupation of the chambers for several months, C i r all the the rent that he (Mr. Sarel) received was 11. lbs. Learning, however, that the prisoner I.sd made away with his property, he (Mr. Bard) finally took pausal= of the chambers, and to his astonishment and chagrin, discovered that they were nearly gutted of every article of value they contained. Sir R. Blame asked whether Mr. Betel had had a character with the peisoner ? Mr. Smell replied, that the prisoner referred him to a solicitor in Norfolk -street, named Cross, who then spoke favourably of him. but who now expressed the utmost surprise at his conduct, and declared that he must have greatly altered since he was acquainted with him ; for at the time be knew him, he (the prisoner) was an excellent man.
