Spdzass pAritier tsmnut This sumptuous Feast.. indicative - of the sympathy which England feels in the glorious cause of Spain, was yesterday attended by a company of Noblemen and Gentlemen, Comprehending a very large propor tion of the mercantile wealth of the British metropo lis. No former occasion, within our memory, was equally distinguished by the respect and opulence of the couipany. It was not a party meeting, for men of all parties are equally ardept and zealous in. the cause which has aroused the people of Spain. And we saw, therefoit, embodied the heads of all the great companies of the first mercantile and banking-houses, together with several Minliters of the Country, States men out of place, Foreign Ministers, and other illus trious characters---all eager to testify to the illustri ous Deputies from Spain, the interest which they felt in the deliverance of their country. . So early as three o'clock the street was crowded with spectators of every description, anxious to see the company on their way to the dinner, and particu larly the Spanish part of it. The windows of all the' houses were filled with elegantly-dressed females, the roofs were not visible, so great w as the crow d that covered them, and even every lamp-post swarmed with boys. In such a crowd,agitated by so much anxie ty and expectation, it was not an easy matter, how ever laudable the sentiment and feeling; to preserve order and decgrurn. This difficulty appears to have been foreseen, and every proper precaution was em ployed to meet it. The'City Officers mustered et an early hour in great force, and prepared a passage through the crowd sufficient for the free passage of the carriages. With the exception of so much open space, the street was one solid mass of people, many of whom fainted from the eicessive heat and pressure. So early as four o'clock the company began to arrive, and at five all the scats in the great room were filled, except those at the table appropriated to the Noble Visitors and principal Patrons of the fete. At half past six the Spankh Deputies made their appearance. Their approach was announced by the loud plaudits acid huzzas of the crowd in the street. It was an ani mated and cheering welcome—such a burst of honest enthusiasin does honour to human nature. On their arrival, they were conducted into an anti-chamber, and, at seven o'clock, dinner was served up in a most sumptuous style. It consisted. of every delicacy of the season. The tables were covered with turtle and venison. Champaign, claret, and other costly and delicate wines, of the finest quality, graced the board. The Chair was filled by Sir FRANCIS BARING, and immediately about him sat the Spanish Deputies, Viscount Marenosa r the Spanish Admiral, the Por tuguese Ambassador, Earls CAMDEN and Ballo:use, Viscount BIDMOUTH, Lords ERSKINE and HAITKES. BURT, SITS CUARLES PRICE and WILLIAM CURTIS, Messrs. SHEREDANp CANNING, rERCEVAL, and WIND. !Mk ; Aldermen Cowen and SHAW ; Messrs. Mat- TEORNTON ) &c. These Noblemen and Gentle men' attended by the City Marshals, and the Stew ards, with their wands in their hands, proceeded through the rooms amidst the acclamations of the company ; and took their seats at the head el the table, in the great room. The company amountad to be tween four and five hundred, and during dinner the greatest conviviality prevailed over the scene—joy 'sparkled in every eye, and a smile mantled upon every countenance: They appeared a company met to ce lebrate the consummation of the glorious cause, and not its progress, which, however glorious and pro mising, cannot yet be Attended with that confidence and unqualified joy Which final and happy completion can alone inspire. About half past eight the room's were lighted up, and the glass lustres and branches made a beautiful appearance; They displayed beneath, in the great room, six tables, parallel to each other, along; the room, with a seventh across at the head, filled Sidi the most distinguished visitors. The princieal table in the middle Was ornamented with six pyramids, bearing the arms and emblems of Spain, Porteeal, England; and Sweden, decorated with wreaths of flowers, and the colours of the respective nations flying it their summits. The parterre, or sand-work, reptesaved in one place Britannia offering her assis tance to Spain; in another, Fame suppatiag a me dallion, on which was inscribed the names of the dif ferent Provinces of Spain, who have stood the fore most in resisting the common enemy ; in another, the figure of Time crowning the Spanish Patriot's Vli:g with Laurel ; in another, the figure of Hope leaning on the rock of Justice ; in other parts, the Arms and Standard; of Spain intermixed with those of Eng land, with different mottos, stich as a Veneer 0: M. rr," " Success to the Spanish Heroes," Ste. 8:c The ornaineets stood from seven to eight feet high, p3urtraying in one part the Battle of the Nile, with the blawing up of L'Orient ; in another, Trophici of Flis, &c. &c. ; at the tops of all, the Royal Stan , d rds of England and Spain, the whole finished with , - , ..rlands and bouquets of flowers,, China figures, v s,!s, 3cc. Ste*. The colours were mixed and entwined th each other, and the whole had a beautiful effect. Ih2 I'ortuguese Ambassador and Viscount MATE ROSA sat on the right hand of Sir ErtANars BARING, and next to them the Cabinet Ministers. On his left were the Spanish Admiral and several distinguished foreigners. The other side of the crust table was' Uled by Viscount S/DMOVIII, Lord Easatxr., Mr. Sam- DAN, and several other English Nobility and Gentry. After dinner, Nod Nobis was sus g by Messrs. Dig num, Taylor, Doyle, Gibbon, Leete, Vaughan, and 1 , Sale, in a very superior style. The following toasts were drank with three times three, accompanied by appropriate music and songs t 1. The King. • 2: The Queen. 3. The Prine of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Fainily. ' 4. His Majesty Ferdinand the Seventh, King of Spain aud of the Indies. 6. His Royal Highness the Prince Retest of Portugal, and may the House of Brnanza "never" ceat: to reign. 6. The King of Sweden, our Coadjutor iu the glorious cause. 7. The King, of the Sicilies. IL The President and the United States of America. On this toast being given, some partial disappro bation was sewn; but on a sang being called for from Mr. Dignum, general unanimity was restored. .• Sir FRANCIS Baum° next called the attention of the company to a toast which he felt must, when heard, awake in every British bosom the sincerest feelings of sympathy and teal. Toast --46 Success to the gallant Heroes in Spain, oar brave as sociates in libaty and arms: —Mttsic: " To arms ! To arms !" ' This glee was admirably sung by the Gentlemen undei the direc tion of Mr. Dismal. The toast Was drank with three times three, incl (never was witnessed a more general expression of sin cere Mid ardent sympathy than was exhibited by every individual in the respectable company assero. bled. The following song, adapted to the occasion, was rent sung by Mr. Dzostrat, amidst the loudest pinuttits of apprthation Long by anarchy, faction, and treason defaed, he order and peace of the world had been broke ; And nations, by chains of oppression disgrae . d, Had Shrunk from their duties, and bow'd to the yoke. By Cunning o'errearl'd, l ; by terror dismay'd, A Despot's decrees had unstrung ev'ry nerve; And, Virtue or Courage no longer display'd, Men sunk into slaves, and were willing to serve. Entrench'd deep in crimes now the Despot's assn!Fd, And his arts shall no longer his tyranny guard ; Thine example, blest BIITAIN ! at last has prevz.:i'd— Thy firmness at last shall obtain its reward. Gallant Spain has her cruel Oppressor defy'd To Freedom, Rerginn, and Glory, a friend. Her children once more with us Britons allied, The dame they have caught shall through Europe extend. Thui the true sons of valour all over the earth, By wishes long since, and by sympathies liuk'd, Their rights Shall assert, and, with isiberty's birth. Usurpers shalt fall, and their fame be extinct. The CHAIRMAN then rose to propose to the coat. pany the healths of the illustrious guests who had that day honoured them with their presence. Before he announced it from the Chair, it WAS his duty to state, that through an intimate acTiaintance with the com mercial world, for the last fifty years, he never did see a more, nor indeed such a respectable company, as was that day assembled, in this great metropolis. In addressing them on the subject of the present rant ing, he was uware that h= only anticipated the ge nuine and sincere sentiments by which they were ac tuated. He should, therefore, at one conclude, by giving, as a toast, ' 6 'nee heaths. of the illustrious Guests who then honoured the company by their presence. May they, on their return to their rative country, have the proud gratification of seeing that loyalty and lase of country, which they have ethibital, crowned with the success which so noble a cause descries." this toast was drank with three times three: Shouts of appeobation resounded through the room, and the Spanish Deputieva'together rose, conveying to the company, by their action and appearance, the great and generdus satisfaction which such a mark of re spect excited in their bosotiris. Mr. CANNIIIC, at the request of the Spanish Depu. ties, rose to express their thanks—" Gentlemen, I have the honour to be called upon by the Illustrious Guests whom you, this day, entertain, to return ; in their names,, their sincere and ardent thanks for the proud mark of respect and approval which the great Commercial interest of the British Metropolis has con ferred upon them. Tier desire me to assure you Of the high sense they entertain of a reception not more gratifying to them than it is advantageous to the noble cause in . v...hit:h we arc all engaged; hispiting all those incent ive.; of energy and zeal, fts well LI Spain as in Britain, and, indeed, in every country that has. the mind and fcrtitadc to shake off the vile thraldoin which, unforttrnat2ly foe the Lace, happiness and coin fort of mank4-4, has he , — lot suffered to continue. They also dzsit" 71. e t, , .ay, that it would be not flat tering to this ~-.,:J!!try, and crust be dishonourable to thernselve . . they to affirm, that Spain, unless sup ported ti,i; country, worth' not have engaged in its M:o• • niggle. Fardifierent were the meti ves which Irnr, :ti their countrymentothe awful but heroic deci si, "'hough alone and unai2ed, they had determined on the exertion. The effort they 'would have made, with , whatevet prospects either of friendly co-operation or of ultimate success.—( Loud peals of oi,probatkrz. ) But in the testimony which Great Britain has so promptly borne to those efforts, in the sympathy which every class of its people do feel for Spanish success, in its preparations for active co-operation, and in its per formances to a great extent, they, whom I have now ! the honour to represent, do feel hopes the most agree able to arise from the assistance of the British nation. That their country should have afforded to the op pressed world a well-grounded expectation of rescue, is to their the best of consolationthe great reward ' to which Spain looks, for such efforts; is in the per manent friendship Of Great Britaln.--;-(Hear hear ) They have also desired me, as yonr guests, and as their own toast, again to propose the health of yotkr venerable and beloved Soirereign." This toast was drank with rapturous accliMationt, and the musical part of the company sarig 'Mid the Tempest that o'er her Horizon is spread, 'Mid the Bolts that around her in Thunder are hurrd, Behold where Britannia raises her hooch And stands like a Tow'r, the last hope Of the world ! The Nations of Europe, ah! where are they gone, 'rimy that shrunk from the lightning or bow 'd to the b.b.st ? Still nearer and nearer the Deluge rolls on, High swain with the Ruins o cr which it has past. But tug's where at length a new promise of clay Bryaks bright in the East, and bids Anarchy cease; A% it rises in Splendour, the gloom shall give way To Freedom's cam breeze, and the sunshine of Peace. True sous of Iberia, boldly you arm, Your homes and your altars from Robbers to save, While Beatty excites you, and mingles her charm, E'en in Chivalry's land, to inspirit the Brave. "Its In proud Usurpation's and Tyranny's spite, 'Gainst Ambition mast lawless, 'rtinst Treason most foul: 'Tis for Loyalty, Laws, and Religion, you fight, For all that can rouse or ennoble the soul. Arad shall you not conquer ? Oh hear us, kind HEAVEN, (1 by aid we invoke, as in Thee Is our trust,) To Spain be the Harvest, to us be but giVell, The Glory of-aiding tke cause of the Just. Then think not in idle profusion we feast, While our Hearts with our Toasts in pure unison saw . ; New hopes shall inspi r e each illustrious Guest, And the story they tall shall pro: e death to the foe. Henceforwards false Int'rest ;hall sever no more The Queen of the Indies and Queen of the Waves, • They honour their King, their CLAIOR adore, And of Tyrants the scourges, will never be slaves. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the following toasts: " May the united efforts of Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, and Sweden, rescue the Continent of Europe from oppression and tyranny." Three times three. " May Spanish, Portuguese, Swedish, and British valour, al. ways unite id support of religion, liberty, loyalty, and law." The health of the Chairman was then drank with three times three, every indivi4tial expressing to those immediately in his vicinity the-Aligation which the company must feel to Sir FRANCis BASING- for his attentive, liberal, and patriotk conduct. Sir FRANCIS, in a few words, returned thanks. He felt that, from his state of health, it was impossible for him to fulfil the duties of a President to such a spectable company. However, when he was I a loured with the application to act in that capacity, on such an occasion, he felt the call irresistible,' and he there-. fore obeyed it. ( Repeated apttoktiort.) lie conclu• ded with proposing, ividsout dh4action, the heaths lee the Noble Visitor, who had that day honoured the Meeting with their presence. This toast was drank with loud acclamations, and the Chairman communicated to the company that be was requested, by fee Noble Visitors whose health, were drank, to propiess that of Mr. CANNING. (Crud applause.) Mr. Cara/um- 4 ' Gentlemen, when last t had the honour to address yoti, it was in the character of in tetpreter to your illustrious guests of the Spanish nation—l did then feel sincerely the observations which it was my duty to Make. In my own I have now to return you my thanks for this confirmed on myself,, with the strongest assurances of sincerity and res?ect." The Spanish Deputies, accompanied by the other Noble Guests, then took their leave. On their de. paqure, as on their entrance, every demonstration of respect was paid to them. Every man appeared to feel the value of those sacred principles and efforts which it was the object of the day's meeting to cherish and to comtnemorate. Sir FRANCIS BAII/NO was succeeded in the Chair by BEE,grox Lot Esq. Governor of the Bank of England * who kept up_ the festivity of the night to a late hour. THE WHIST TABLE.

Upon the centre of the table an English ensign was displayed, and the arpiriug group kept it vp until nearly dark ; some had the pru dence to descend at in earlier hour, while the rittrited few who remained amused themselves with retehu on their descent, which they effected in perfect safety. In the afternoon of Saturday, a person of some eminence in Folkstone, as a civil engineer, was apprehended in Canterbury, on a charge of uttering a forged bill of exchange for 7701. and committed by the Mayor to Westgate gaol; for farther examination on Thursday. The signature and indorsement of the bill purported to be that of Mr. G. I. P. Lauer, of Weimer, and it had been negociated through the Union Bank, at Canterbury, in the street of which place Mt. Darn, after having discovered the trans. action, accidentally met the prisoner, and took him into custody.

Mr. S. not only ac. quainted the gentleman, but collared the pickpocket. He had several companions at hand, who first spoke decently in his behalf, then hustled Mr. S. and lat terly accused him of being the thief. The gentleman in whose behalf the Doctor had volunteered, sup ported him, until a lady, who was in his company, tainted. Mr. S. was then overpowered by numbers , and the villains escaped.
