Lad Amine returned thanks for the honour they bad done him by drinking his health, and coupling • it with the Whip of Staffordshire, though he could not flatter himself that he deserved it. It gave him great satisfaction to see so numerous, important, and respectable a Meeting as the present. It was a glo rious day for the County of Chester—it was anexam ple for all England, and he trusted it would not stop till Whig Clubs were established all over England— (Apple' se). —lt had been urged that this Club was not for the purpose of serving a political party . ; but if a general feeling like this • were mani fested, there must soon be a change of Administra tion— a change which would bring in some of the best men in the country, and who possessed the confidence of the people. At least, it a change were not imme diately produced, the Ministers would feel a cheek upon them, which they would find too powerful to oppose. The union of the Whigs and the People would be irresistible for the Ministers. They must succeed, if they would but persevere steadfastly in upholding the principles they were now met to cele brate—(Appleese).--His Lordship then concluded by giving—."

Mr. WILBRAHAM proposed the health of Mr. Wil liams, who returned thanks in an eloquent and ener getic speech. a Mr. Tolle; Mr. Sudworth, and Success to tke Plough and the Flail." Mr. TOLLET rose, and commenced an eloquent and excellent speech. He spoke of the vital importance of agriculture to the country at large, and of the re ciprocal advantages and dependence that subsisted between trade and the products of the earth—lamented the supineness of the Country Gentlemen, to which were attributable those burdens and that neglect which agriculture laboured under. He. said, 52 inde pendent Country Gentlemen in the House of Commons would have prevented those grievous calamities which everywhere so much abound. Mr. Suovroarn briefly retooled thanks to the com pany, and particularly to his Lordship, for his kind ness in connecting his name with that of a Gentleman so well known in the agricultural world. Mr. Sud worth then begged leave to give- 4 . May the County of Chester be as rich in honest principle as in valu able produce." At about half-past ten o'clock, Lord Geosvetroa, Lord ANSON, Sir JOHN STANLEY, Sir HENRY Bt n - sußy, and ore other Gentlemen, retired from the company, and the meeting soon after broke up. BONAPARTE. ANECDOTE.-- 44 Count Dana was Intendant-Gene ral of the Army at Boulogne. One morning the EMPEROR called him into his closet. DAM/ found him walking about the room in a rage, and only breaking silence 'oy short and violent exclamations— " What a Navy!—What an Admiral!—What sacri fices lost !—M y hopes are disappointed!—That Ville neuve, instead of being in the Channel, he is gone into Ferrol !—lt is all over! he will be blockaded " there!—Da RU, sit you down; listen to me and wine." The EMPEROR had that morning received the pews of S r it.t.cw mitre's arrival in a Spanish port. He im mediately perceived that his plan for the conquest of England was rendered abortive. The immense expenses of the fleet and the flotilla were now for a long time thrown away—perhaps for ever. Then, in the midst of an excess of passion, which would have rendered other men incapable of exercising the understanding, he adopted a resolution of the boldest nature, and sketched off-hand one of the most ad mirable plans of campaign which had ever been con ceivedin calmness and deliberation by any conqueror. Without hesitating, without pausing, he dictated the whole plan of the campaign of Austerlitz, the depar ture of the different corps of troops stationed from Hanover and Holland to the western and southern confines of France, the order and duration of the marches, the points of convergence and junction of the columns, the attacks by surprise and main force, the different movements of the enemy : everything was foreseen; and under every hypothesis victory was as sured. Such was the correctness and astonishing foresight of this plan, that on a line of departure ex tending over 200 leagues, lines of operation of 300 leagues of length were followed according to this first direction, day by day, and league by league, all the way to Munich. Beyond that Capital the dates alone underwent some alteration; but all the points were reached, and the whole tithe plan was crowned with complete success. Stich was the military talent of that man, as formidable to his enemies by the power of his genius, as to his fellow-citizens by the force of his despotism."—M.Dupas Voyages dans le Grand Bretagne—Farce Navak.

PARIS, OCTOBER 10. The Journal de Lyons states, that a telegraphic dispatch of the 2d countermanded the march of the 60th Regiment of the Line, which had arrived at Lyons on its route to join the sanitory cordon on the coasts of the Mediterranean. An apprehensions hay. ing, ceased, this Regiment will take up its quarters at Toulouse. A private letter from Saragossa, of the 22d of Sep tember, states, that a up to that day no symptom of contagion had manifested itself in that town, nor in the Province of Arragon. The Authorities are con stantly on the alert. The Superior Junta of Health has just interdicted all communication between Ca talonia and Arragon; and the Municipality has or dered, that all merchants who have been, since the 15th of August last, holders of goods susceptible of being impregnated with pestilential miasmata, shall remove them to the Chartreuse outside the town, in order that they may go through the process of puri fication; those who do not strictly conform to this order will be liable to heavy pains and penalties, and even the punishment of death, authorised by the Royal Decree of the 11th of October, 1804. Besides these rigorous measures, one of the Alcaldes, D. Ma nuel Colleta, has deemed it expedient to give out of his own pocket the sum of 60,000 ails (about 1100); to be offered in rewards, each of one thousand rials at least, to such persons as shall discover and give information of the introduction of goods coming from infected countries." We learn from Marseilles, under date the 3d inst. that the labourer who was removed to the Lazaretto, on suspicion of being infected with the yellow fever, is quite recovered, and that not a single patient re mained in the Lazaretto at that period. News from Catalonia, dated the Ist of this month, mention that the contagion has manifested itself in the village of Garcia. A Lazaretto has been esta blished at Fgueras, for the reception of persons sus pected of having come from Barcelona, not one of whom has yet been taken ill. The Bulletin published respecting the state of health at Barielona, from the 26th to the 28th of September, reports as follows: =ATMS. CURIO. 11111• IX. 140 14 250 a 17 143 64 29 176 Barcelonetta - - Hospital of the Seminary - Barcelona - - - - Doctors Parisot, Bailly, Francois, Mazet, and Rouchour, appointed by the Minister of the Interior to repair to Barcelona, to endeavour to put an end to the pestilential disorder there, are arrived at Toulouse. Two individuals, who were not recognised until too late, the one for a Frenchman, and the other for a Spaniard, have ventured to penetrate into France without submitting to the precautionary measures, adopted on this frontier. Their temerity has cost tOth of them their lives. The first was a smuggler; he had escaped the shots of the two sentinels on the first line of the cordon sanitoire, but he was reached by that of a sentinel on the second line, stationed at a short distance from St. Laurence de Cerdans. .The second attempted, from what motive is not known, to get into the kingdom by night. He was travelling by a cross road when he met his fate. He had then entered the French territory. We must, of course, deplore such events ; but while our frontier is daily threatened with the contagion which is making such fearful ravages in the neighbourhood, the public into. rest ought to prevail over every other consideration. Rigour beomes a duty. Extract of a letter written by a Gentleman in Spain 1 to a mercantile house in Birmingham : CALDAS DE MONBUY, SEPT. SI. " I wrote to you last week the particulars of my flight to this place, in company with Captain —, R.N. We hourly congratulate ourselves on our good luck in arriving the moment we did, without having the penance of four days quarantine. Yon may judge of the increase of alarm, when I tell you it is since multiplied into forty days for all persons proceeding from within the cordon that surrounds Barcelona.— I am sorrry to say that the fever increases in Barce lonetta—from twenty to thirty are dying daily. We had, by yesterday's post, the first Bulletin from the city-53 sick.

The news from Barcelona is very disr ies i al; the deaths increase to a very alarming pitch, n r d every corner of the city has caught the infection. 1 1 Tortosa the fever rages with anabating fury ; f ret the Ist to the 23d of thi, month, upwar.is of 2,800 R T , sons have been carried off ; the weather I. ve y ' against us ; Fahrenheit's thermometer, which List yea r • at this time was at 60, now stands at 82. The fern rages also dreadfully at Palma, in Majorca." • CONTRABAND TRADE IN SPAIN. We subjoin, from a Madrid Paper, an article o f the subject of smuggling throughout Spain, whi c h will be read with interest by the curium., and migh; (but that is less certain) be studied with a vary by the official advocates of restraints and prohibites s among our countrymen. A Tariff of enormous do. ties upon foreign goods was the first specimen a forded by the Cortes of the progress made by Spani s h statesmen in the elements of political econonn. g ut this measure, as might have been foreseen, ha, Ad of every purpose which it could by pchsibility hoe been designed to answer. It has failed as a spur to Spa. nish industry; for no additional step has been ulna establish or promote any native manufacture. kV totally failed as a prohibition"; for Spain is osum ith foreign fabrics from every part of Europe; ad as a financial experiment, its success is no less oird than notorious, inasmuch as the smu,v glen oast, coast and in every bay of the Peninsula have NW the officer's of the KING'S Government the milk of collecting any duties. The Custom-house never so poor as at this moment in Spain, and c traband trade never flourished so extensively. Nsf the Spanish Ministers entitl. d their Law of he Td ".A Bill for enabling certain Merchants ot tiltidar to make large fortunes in the shortest possibktie," it would have been more appropriate to its presol object. We understand that the Finance Minims have it in contemplation to propose to the Enna. dinary Cortes a revision of a commerciai system which has been rendered practically subsersiess. to purposes the opposite of those for which its frames designed it. - - " Smuggling will always prevail in proportion to the umber and rigour of prohibitory laws, or the excessive rivikin pis to certain articles in legal commerce, in spite of the Mogul most efficacious measures that may be adopted to erne:6l4 for, besides the stimulus of gain, there' persons a sort of pride in overcoming traille presents. " Notwithstanding the present outcry madam on smuggling, and the relaxation plained of, I do not believe that greater than in 1803 and the following years, at site privilege conferred on the nia gave so much offence to the merchants *laces, that they vied with each other .system, in doing which they were assisted established warehouses of cotton goods gal, at prices sufficiently low to indemnify risks they encountered, and to render of the Catalonians Impossible. The consequence the classes who live by mercantile industry trade, and every Spanish merchant had a concealed midi English goods. Bonaparte pushed the prohibitions to &AP extent in every country where he possessed power; iat g A -confiscations and burnings of English goods had no odor As than to excite disgust throughout all Europe against aide heard-of oppression. 0 It cannot be doubted that a guard well mounted, ell* mended, and well supported, would have great effect isk peding the contraband trade; but such means of premeds sib to be considered merely as auxiliaries of the law which aing annul or reduce within as narrow limits as possible tinfoil" tive system, in order that private interests, whisk Ask* overcome the obstacles opposed to them, may not too sark.l . ° volt against that system. How is 'it pounds to prevent eat sling, and to guard with five or six or even with forty those. men thtvast extent of our coasts and frontiers?
