I i } , the Mantua . of LanSalown, said—" indeed, little has remained for me to say, -after the first short but manly and etergt tic ad. dress of our Noble Chairman—an address be fittirg the Rim: who had fought the battles of his country, and worthily :Administered her power_ in every part of the world- 7 (1.°ml epplaus_e.) —lle has spoken of the aggressions of a de s c e nd a nt o f Louis Jars in! language worthy The descendant of a frietid of William II I. It is a remarkable proof of the hereditary character of families, that even at this day a Hendrick should be the defender of liSerty when assailed by a Ileurbon ; he will never consent to stigmatise his ancestnrs, or to dim the lustre of that family name, which is identified with the transactions which gave liberty to this country. The toast which I am about to propose is so in accordance with your feelings and pour object, that it needs little preface from me—it is, " The preservation of the Peace of Europe." The object of yoni• as3emblinz, is to reprobate an attack on that on which all p,-ace reposes, the independence of nations—(Ap plause)—and to sheer the interest which every man, worthy of the name of 13t ion], feels in the fate of two &dons nations, of the Spanish Peninsula, whose cause is stow identified with the right of independeeee—(Applause). e s-The Spanish nation has bad the fortune or the fate which no other nation has enjoyed and suffered, to have enlisted in her favour twice, in a very short space of time, the gt.nerous feelings of all free men in-Eut ape.— • Twice has her indept-nderce. been assailed by unjust power; may her second rcsi,tatice lye as gi ariou s end' successful as•her first— ( Applause).—.The En7tillt nation flew in arms to their aid. The independence of the Peninsula is now atetcheedritis as little pretence of justice as in 1509, atel the voice of F.nglend has again unanimously answered to the appeal of Spain.— The verdict of this free people has been delivered ;—that the attack upon Spain is an unjust and unjustifiable usurpation, snb• aversive of the law of nations, which, if reduced to a system, will leave no rights of nations—will leave no nations—( Applause).— For what is a nation? An independent community. Indepen dence to a nation was as life to a man—(Applause).—We have before us the case of the Government of France in the speech cf the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It would be rill( elous if it were slot an insult to an independent State, as well as the human understanding, as a reason put forward for the attack on Spain, that the Spanish Revolution has diminished the sale of French mules—( Laughter and appla'ise).—Another state ment of the same kind adduced is a ground of war is, that the Revolution, by direinilhing the vent for French produce in Spain, has diminished the vent of one Frthch department by a hair. lint it is shameful to waste reason on such contemptible absurdity. M. de Chateatahriand mus: know, that if the Spa eiards chose to forbid every article of French produce to be intrdduced into their territory, this, the exercise of the most in disputed tight of an independent nation, far from being a ground of war, would not be a ground even of complaint—( Applause)— eeetin has published et) Decrees threatening the independence of other Governments--Spain has published no incitements to peo ple to revolt against Sovereigns—Spain has not declared that other forms of Government are less lawful than her own—Spain, religiously respecting the law of independent nations, has held every Government rightful that an independent nation has esta blished, or that an independent nation maintains—(Applause). The meditated invasion of Spain is like the invasion of Poland by Catherine of - Russia, who, after modestly informing the world that she had been raised to the Throne by her virtues, deciared that the right of vicinage entitled het to interfere in the affairs of Poland, and to bring it back to an orderly condition. The attack upon Spain in principle comes to this—that there is a right of interference in the affairs of any State, when the forms of Government differ so that the people may be tempted by the ex• ample of one to change the Constitution of the other. The conse. (pence of this must be interminable war,• or war only terminable when all Constitutions of the earth are reduced to the saute form. If it is a ground of war for a Monarchy against a more Demo oitatic Constitution, it is a ground of war for a Democracy against a 'Monarchy—(Applause) —or for a limited Monarchy against an absolute one; it would justify Russia in attempting what, thank GOD, she cannot effect—the destruction of the States of America; it would justify the Emperor Alexander in putting a Cusack garrison in Loptati, and in imposing, by the united wisdom of /Siberia and Kamtschatka, conservative principles' on the de scendants of Hampden and of Sidney !-..(Applause) —Last year, on the closing of the Session, the French liens told' he Chambers that nothing but the blackest malevolence could impute to the Sanitary Cordon any Other purpose than that which was then pro fessed—the keeping out of the yellow fever ; that those only could attribute to it any other object who seized every opportunity to re kindle the h ill-extinguished brands of disorder and war—(Cheers). On the eth of June, 1822, nu longer ago than a few months, the King of France saw to datigsr iii Spain; so far was he rons seeing it, that nothing but the blackest malevolence could im pute to him a desire to interfere with i:—(A laugh).—Now we see the King of France himself kindling up a war, which, li ?tilted as he may wish it to be, must weaken the security of e'eery nation in the world, and the extension of which to all Eu- 1 rope is at least a matter of extreme probability—(Applause ). At the conclusion of the speech of M. Chateaubriand, he tells us, Spain may form treaties inconsistent with those which bind h4r to France—she may form commercial relations inconsistent seith the Commercial interests of France.' I have no doubt this "spas the very Power M. de Chateaubriand had in his eye— ( Ap2lause).—l have no doubt that England will feel a desire corresponding to his apprehension, to pursue a course as accord ant with policy as with her feelings—to draw close her con. Lesion with Spain, and to eiftct the entire and absolute inde "-_residence of that ancient and gallant country from the bonds of 'ranee—(Loud applause).—l propose, The preservation of the peace of Europe.' "—Drank with three times three. The Duke of Sussex rose to propose a health, which they would receive with pleasure. Ills Ilonnurable Friend adverted penverfulty to the character of the Noble Chairman; but if his Lordship would allow him to say it, he had never heard of him as an Officer but with his sword drawn in the cause of Freedom. It was a pleasure to have such a man to preside over such a Meeting. He then gave—" The health of the Chairman," with three.—Drank with much applause. Lord W. Be-vim:cc returned thanks. He then gave—" The Duke of Wellington ; and the brave men, of whatever country, who fought for freedom on Spanish ground." " The cause of civil and religious liberty an over the world." Drank with three times three, and unbounded applause. The CHAIRMAN gave--" The Governors and Directors of the Bank of England ;" with three times three. Mr. Bastes returned thanks shortly. " The. Chairman, Deputy Chairman, and Directors of the East India Company," with three times three, was the neat toast. Mr. W. Wiettaas also shortly returned thanks. The Crimes's?: gave the health of the Stewards with three times three.—(Great applause). The Duke of &master returr.ed thanks, in the name of the Stewards, and stated the gratification they felt at having been able to show to Europe, and the world at large, the unjustifiable attack on the liberties of Spain. To have looked at such & cause with indifference, would have argued great ignorance of our Own political interests. Notwithstanding the distress of the country, the people were willing to bear additional burdens, to assist the nations of the Peninsula. The CHAIRMAN could not conclude without congratulating them on the way the evening had been passed. Ile gave, as the last toast, " The Ladies of Spain and Lngland."—Tune, " The Black Joke." The Noble CHAIRMAN and the Duke of Scssri left the room at about eleven o'clock, and the company wholly separated hottly after, -the harmony of the day having been preserved with unfailing spirit till the last. Bow-svarev.—Tboraday afternoon last, two successful attacks were made net the Gambling 'rouses, No. 33, Pall-mall, and No. 15, Bury-street, by a strong party of the Bow-street patrol, tinder the direction of G. It. Muranuti and THOMAS HALLS, lisqrs. Twelve persons were taken front Pall-mall, and twenty tour front Bury-street. !it the course of their examination, no circumstances transpired of a different nature to those on the ctlit.r occasions, except what related to the; person on whose infor nt.ition the warrants had been granted—he stated himself to:be 411 Officer in the Army, that he was on half-pay, and for the last two years had been playing every night at one or the other of the two hoists, and had taken %n with him from 301. to 904 of an evening, but never came out of the house winner of one farthing.

Pavate letters from Paris have brought over the Protest which was made in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday against the exclusion of M. MaNum., and which not being read in that Assembly, is not given in our account of its proceedings. It expresses the indignation of these Deputies at the violation of the rights of every French citizen, and declares the whole -proceeding subversive of all social order and justice—and full of anarchical principles which lead to the most odious crimes.- 4 . They consider," they say, " the Resolution • adopted on the 3d of March, 1823, as the first movement of a faction desirous of placing itself violently above all forms, and breaking through all the checks imposed on it by :he fundamental compact; they are con vinced that this first step is but the prelude to the system which conducts France to an unjust war abroad, in order to consummate the counter-revolu tion at home, and to invite the foreign occupation of the territory; unwilling to become accomplices of the misfortunes which this faction cannot fail to draw on the country, we protest against all the illegal and unconstitutional measures lately taken for the exclusion of M. MANUFL, Deputy of La Vendee, and against the violence with which 'he has been torn from the bosom of the Chamber of Deputies." Like the dog to his *omit, the Chronicle has -re turned to-day to its factious misrepresentations. It asserts that, in Paris, " throughout the whole of Wednesday, the streets were crowded," and it in sinuates with revolutionary intents, and that there was force employed against . them ;" but the groupes, it seems, offered no resistance, though violent scenes are reported to have taken place on the preceding evening." This is destitute of foundation in the sense intended to be conveyed, and the insinuation is the mere malice and frenzy of faction. The streets of Paris are crowded every day, so are those of Lon don, and the groupes offer no resistance—why should they? Bayonne Papers of the 24th and 27th ult. arrived this morning; as also a Flanders Mail, with Vienna Papers to the 23d, and Brussels Papers to the 4th inst• Great activity prevails at Bayonne and in the neigh bourhood, in collecting magazines of provisions, and in making all other preparations for war. Clothing and arms are frequently sent clandestinely into Na varre, and the other discontented Spanish pro vinces. On the other hand, the Spaniards are making great exertions to provision Plimpeluna and St. Sebastian, seizing on all the supplies they can find ; the former is already provided for six months. The inhabitants of the val u es on the frontiers of France, hitherto opposed to the Constitution, are organizing two coMpanies of Chasseurs, to join in resisting the invasion. Tht resolution to defend the territory on the French side of the Ebro, which, report says, is to be united to France, is very evident. The inhabit ants of Saragossa have again sworn rather to bury themselves under the ruins of their walls than sub mit to the French. The Chieftains of the Army of the Faith think that there is not the smallest 'obstacle to their reaching Madrid. They expect, with the force under BEssizass, to collect forty thousand men to overthrow the present Govern ment, establish a Regency (should the Km be car ried off), and promulgate a sew Constitution, which is already prepared. The Franco-Spanish army is to take with it but a small quantity of artillery. Vilma, Fn. 19.—hietalliques, 771 ; Bank Mares, 896 7.10. FILL 20.—Metalliquea, 781 ; Bank Share*, 890.

ODYSSEUS has con cluded an armistice with the Turkish Padua in Tires saly, and hopes are entertained that, whatever may , be the iesult of the contest between the Turks and Greeks, it will at least be carried on with more hu manity. The accounts from Greece continue to be favourable to the cause of the Greeks. We have given, in another column, an interesting account of the proceedings at the Spanish Dinner yesterday. It was, as we have already stated, a Nat) •_ . ....... • - -.• af.tir; and it was honourable to. di parti, for , - lie speeches, nothing heron tli sympathy was rorei ~.. ...--, nothing maintained beyond a generous 'Wig ••• 44 at the attempt to violate national indepeodeoce.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Captain Jt/FIN BLANCIWID was sworn, into the command of the ship Marquis of Wellington, consizned'to Ma dras and Bengal.

FROM THE GUIANA CHRONICLE, AND DEMERARA GAZETTL. GEORGETOWN, DECEMBER 40, 1 82 We are ever ready to bow to the better judgment of those who are placed over us : hence it is, that the few remarks which we had prepared, relative to the late act of Governor Beard, appointing three colopred individuals to be Officers of the Ber bice Militia, have been hitherto withheld from the public eye; not that It was forbidden to agitate the subject at all, but because it was suggested, If not enjoined, that we should wait till we had learned what coarse of proceeding was likely to be pursued by those immediately concerned,:in order that it might not be alledged as the ground of future complaint that our Sister Colonists were spirited up to adopt such and such meveres through the stimulus of a distant Press. The suggestion, un doubtedly, was wise and provident—hut we had imagined the spirit and firmness of the good people of Berbice to have been better known and better estimated—and that, when a sense of. public duty requires them ro give expression to their sentiments, or the impolitic acts of a Governor demand reprehension, they stand in no need of the Press, as an auxiliary, to tell them, what to do. Accordingly they have acted, in the present instance, as we expected, with their usual promptitude and decision. Of the three different persons who have been honoured with commissions we know nothing amiss. We believe, indeed, they are deserving and respectable individuals enough in their own way, and in their own proper condition of society. Further, they are in good circumstances, and for that reason, are ac counted men of certain importance in a commercial point of view. Money is said to level all distinctions—but this saying is true only to a limited extent in this part of the world. Our political situation, the tenure by which we hold our demi- Hon, and the different grades and castes of our population, ' imperiously require our moral and civil distinctions to be pre served from encroachment—so far at least as reg ards places of public trust and command. There is, in truth, aConstittitional jealousy perpetUally entertained on this head, which, so far as we know, has never before been disregarded by any Governor, whatever might have been his partialities or prejudices—at any rate, no Governor, we believe; has done an act so injurious to the repose and tranquillity of the Colony, or so insulting to the character of its inhabitants, as that we are now adverting to. The immediate consequences were to be foreseen. All the Officers, to a man, of the Ist Battalion of Berbice Militia, threw up their Commissions. Of the impolicy of the measure there was but one opinion heard throughout the Colony—and it was expressed, as was natural, with becoming indignation. On Wed nesday eight days, an extraordinary sitting was held of the Cou ncil of Government. The Members, we understand, expressed to his Excellency, hi firm but respectful language, that the recent appointments had tended to disturb the peace of the community, and stated their apprehension that they would be prejudieial to the interests of the Colony. That, therefore, unless the appointment, were can celled; the Council would deem it their duty to make an imme diate representation of the matter to his Majesty ' s' Government. They besides desired to be informed by his Excellency in what manner he intended to fill up the vacancies occasioned by the resignations that had taken place.—The reply of the Governor was very unsatisfactory. lie is understood to have said that all the complaint of the Public was the work of a faction—and that be knew better then any of them what was or was not beneficial to the interests of the Colony. He therefore would not consent to the proposal of the Connell—and hinted that they might do as they pleased. Our readers wfll easily believe that the Council did not stop here. They addressed him officially, by letter, on the 16th inst. in which they-urged the confusion and distraction that his Ex cellency, by his , impolitic conduct, might produce in the Colony ; and insisted that he should make atonenwnt to the insulted feel ings of the community, by instantly cancelling the appointments iu the same public manner, and through the same channel in which they bad been notified. Not having received any favour.. able answer, the Council had recourse to the only alternative in their power—they drew up a strong representation of the whole case to his Majesty's Government, which, with all the Papers and eorrerpondetsce on the subject, was dispatched on Sunday last, by the ship Nile, for London. We have to add that the Officers who had tendered their re signations, have been persuaded, at the request of the Council of Government, to retain their cottunissiuns until:after the holi days; led it is right to observe that the three indi;dduals whose appointments have created so much discord, has , ' teen the pro ' priety of soliciting his Excelleacy to take back the commissions, at least until be has received instructions from his Majesty whe ther that class of his subjects in the West Indies to which they belong, are entitled to have the honest conferred upon them. The result of this application we have not learned. Such are the leading particulars of this singular case, so far as they CU be conentunicated with a due regard to truth. We intended to have thrown together a few homely reflections aris ing dot of a consideration of Governor Beard's conduct stn this affair; but are induced to think that,. upon the whole, it will be better, for the present, to let the circumstances speak for them selves. Should anything material occur hereafter, - eomiected with the above subject, the Public shall be made acquainted with it. . - Tile Duke of YORK rode out in his carriage fester• day; about two o'clock, on a visit to the Princess SOPHIA..

WOT VPRITAMNIN, Ite:1 6.—A battle took place about tro l l miles from this pi : tce, oil the road to Ihlstone, yesterday, th e 54, 1 between George Smari, a native of Efilstone, and Dutch, the Vir2t. shire man. Dutch vanquished the brother of Smart near tki place iu Octoher, i 320, who was allowed to be the hest boxera this county, and never lost a battle till defeated by Dutch. The fie,ht was for 100 sovereigns, 50 a-side, half minute time, in a . feet rong. About it o'clock the multitude began to assemble, arid at twelve o'clock not less than hoot 4 to 5000 people were' assembled to WICIP.:•,S, the contest, which excited great interest is this part of the coax ry, as both were considered good men. Alma half past 1 o'clock Dutch entered the ring, and threw up his bar, attended by his .ec.inds, Thorn and Towtishend,.and was followed shortly after by Smart, with his seconds, Johnson and Thom; the men then stripped, arid their seconds did their respective colours to the brake; blue for Dutch, and yellow for Smart. The bets at stripping were 3 to 4 on Smart, he being the !multi man by near a stone. ROUNDS. 1. Some cautimis sparring took place for about half a minute, when Smart made the play, but hit short, and Dutch put is a smashing right-hand hit on the mouth, which floored him rrum the scratch-5 to 4on Dutch. 2. This was a slaughtering round in favour of Dutch, who placed hits on his adversary's head, right and left, and the blood flowed copiously. In a close, both went down-6 to 4on Dutch. 3. Smart made a rush with his right band at Dutch's head, but Dutch stopped it in fine style, and returned the complirsest by a right-handed bit on the throat. In a close both wen down, Dutch ■nder. 4. Dutch made play right and left, which told heavily r.n hi adversary's bead, and he went down.weak-5 to 1 on Dutch. 5,6, 7, R, 9, and 10, were all in favour of Dutch.. 11. This round was well contested,. Smart having recovered his second wind, and he put in a heavy body blow, and in dm -close Dutch was thrown—this reduced the bets 2 to 1 us Dutti , 12. Dutch came up to the scratch quite fresh, and put is righ-hand bit on his adversary's left eye,. which closed it, and he went down-5 to I on Dutch. IS. Smart earn; up with his left eye closed, but be-modes good left-band hit on Dutch't mouth, when he thawed blood far the first time during the fight, and in return he floored Ins atl , versary by a heavy blow on the left eye. 14. Smart seemed quite relieved froni ifis blindness by tit blow be received in the last round, which made the blood re freely, and thereby reduced the swelling; he was floored mit by a blow in the wind; there was poundage offered all royal the ring on Dutch, but no takers. • r 15, 16, and 17, were in f avo ur o f Du tc h, t h oug h i n thrill rounds he received heavilyin the body.
