(PROM THE DUNDEE ADVRRTISRR ) . This town was visited on Wednesday by .the Earl of Roselyn and Lieutenant General Sir Ronald Fergusson, who hid been invited to a dinner given by the gentlemen concerned in the linen trade, in celebration of the abolition of,those absurd,' mischievous, and uselesi linen laws, Which ;sad be long taxed and hammered the operatiotta 01frileie manufacturer, and deluded the merchant by a pretended security. These two distinguished persons, upon their arrival, were waited upon by the Dean of Guild and the Deputation from the Gaildry, and presented with the free dom of that incorporation. At five o'clock they were introduced to the Caledonian* Hall, which was very tastefully decorated for the occasion; and where a company of nearly one hundred and fifty, including deputations from Aberdeen and Fife, as well as from the other manufacturing towns of Angus—were as minted to receive them. Mr. Morton, late Dean of Guild, and one of the Deputation to London for carrying the liner-hill through Parliament, took the Chair, Lord Roe sqn on his right. Sir Ronald Fergnsson on the left; the Croupiers were Mr. Alexander liadden, of Aberdeen, and Mr. John Peter. The King—the Royal Family—the Doke of York and the Army—Lord Melville and the Navy—Both Houses of Parliament—were given from the Chair. Mr. MORTON then said, that they had met to celebrate one of the greatest triumphs of liberal principles ever in-, nuance and prejudice, that had perhaps ever happened to the trade of Scotland. For this triumph they were in au extraordinary degree indebted to the Noble Earl who had done them so much honour to-day. In the prosecution of the'great object which they hail bad so long in view, many obstacles had been encountered—many bumming delays had been struggled with; bat at every straggle a step furs ward was made, and the way became gradually clearer as the lights of pulttical science shone in upon those members of his Majesty's tioverntnent to whom the commercial pulley cf the State is entrusted. He gate the health of the Earl of Rosslyn, which was received with acclamations. The Earl of Rosary:4 said, he had to thank them for the manner in which they Lad drank his health, anti to acknowledge with gratitude that distinguished proof of their approbation. While he congratulated them on the result—while he congratulated the Country on the triumph over prejudices which had been truly described as sup-, ported by habit only, and the love of power, and that patronage which is attendant on the possession of power— he could not allow them to .attribute to him any greet share in the . acceuiplishenent of that object. Ant be should be wanting in justice if he did not state, that, ll concerned in the lioen trails were indebted in the highest degree to Mr. Haskisson who manifested the greatest readiness to restore to the linen trade its just freedom from those restrictions to which the ill advice and ignorant measures of our ancestors had subjected it. They likewise owed much to Mr. Wallace, who paved the way for the adoption of mea sures tending to promote the truest interests of commerce. —Mr. Robinson, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was entitled to Natal praise, for his liberality. He was pecu liarly happy in meeting to celebrate the triumph by which so much good had been gained, under circumstances of great difficulty. He was an early convert to those doctrines which bad at length been recognised by the Government. It was now nearly thirty years since be engaged in en deavouring to procure some relaxation of the linen lows, on behalf of the mill spinners; and from then till now he had. never omitted any opportunity of supporting the taeasure, of the advantages of which he was so fully con -I.4lnced. It was matter of exaltation and pride to observe the certain operation of truth and reason. Perseverance, and the maintenance of jest opinions and sound doctrines, 'never failed to work their way. His Lordship concluded by drinking " Prosperity to the Linen Trade of Scot- I land." Mr. Morrow rose to propose the health of. Sir Ronald Fergusson. Among all those who had felt an interest in Xhe Repeal of the Linen Laws, there was none who had acted a more distinguished part, nor to whom they were more highly indebted, than the Gallant General. Oa him bad devolved the irksome and annoying task of explaining the subject to those Members who were unacquainted with it —of refusing absurd arguments—of clearing up and unra velling studied sod interested misrepresentation—of reeves -kw prejudices and resisting influence. It might not per '.baps be in good taste to contrast the conduct And character of the ti silent General with those of others to whom those concerned in the linen trade might have naturally looked for assistance ; but he could not help alluding to the con duct of the Member of Parliament for this Borough. That Member, on the first application to him, promised the de ttti learned esco thatu n t e s n o a m n c e e oirdasnpcojirtalcgaelmceonnto. connections i e ta n d o a sooner pecu niary interest in opposing the measure, than he deserted the deputies, and added his exertions to those of their opponents. l The Chairman concluded by giving—* " The health of Lie_artnaot General Sir Ronald Fer gnsson." Sir Itostarn FERGUSSON said, it was impossible for him to tell the Meetink what he felt at the present moment. To I receive their thanks in the manner they had been offered, I was the greatest honour they could confer on him. If he had attempted to assist theta in their struggle, he had merely done his duty. They owed nothing to him;_ but a great deal to the- good conduct and intelligence of their deputies to Parliament. He could not say much more; for his Noble Friend bad really taken every inch of ground from under his feet. Some opposed the Linen Bill from selfish motives.—There were certain Boards, perhaps,' pessessing considerable patronace, and Members of Cones ties haring friends who shared in the good things at the d.sposal of those Boards. There were great Lords, too,' Lurd-Lieutenants of counties arrayed against them. ' Other persons there who measured the benefits of the Constitution by the number of places at the disposal of Government; and some of these persons scrupled not to say, that to pre terve the Constitution, it is necessary to preserve every existing jab. These persons, he trusted, here few to number. but still there were some. The Memher for-this Borough had been alluded to. .It was very true, that Honourable Gentleman had at first soppat ted and af.er wards opposed the Bill. Bot Sir Itooaldalsonglit that satnething might be said to extenuate this apparent i neon- . sistency. He could not blame the lion.

As a Scotsman, nothing gave Sit Ronald so mach plea'nre as to witness the rising greatness of his cont rc. The growth of the trade and wealth of • Dander. in narticulir, was remarkable. He concluded by drinking, " Prosperity to the trade and manufactures of Oils town." . Mr. MORTON gave, with a suitable encomium, " Mr. H.islilssoti and the Board of Trade." The E'ail of Rosetta's( proposed tbehealth of Mr. Morton.' the Chairman, which was drank in a manner which sermt deeply to alftct him in returning thanks. Sir RONALD Fencussote gave the health of " The London Derttation." Mr. Fences, the oldest member of the Deputation, re turned tl•anks. They had exerted all their industry, but hail to ascribe their poecess entirely, to their uistingnishod guests.. " The deputies were, to speak in ste.tm-engine phraseology, the generators; hot onr noble and gallant guests were the gonernori sod safety-ralres and efficient parts of the machine" (cheers). He complimented the liberal part of the Cabinet ; and compered the presence or Mr. Canning at the late civic feast, to the wolf nod the land, lying down together; froth which he anticipated farther coecessiont far lb. advantage • of•elie.pe .ple.

(loud cheer..) Mr. PETIR gave—" Success to the Spanish Colonies in South America. . Sir ItortraLn Fxanossore said, the last toast had been so received, that he begged to propose another as a corol lary Wit." The Meeting would no doubt be glad to learn. from the Papers of yesterdaY, that the Constitutional Government of Spain had recognised the Governments of these States. He looked upon this piece of information as the most ithportant that hal arrived dating the last twenty years—beeanse onr Miffinterintight now adopt the example of the Patent State, by recognising the South American Colonies. "In 'this country, where the King is revered, we acknoWledge no other doctrine than that he exists for the people, and not the people for him. We laagla at the Confederacy mock-named " Holy," having for its object to crush independent sentiments and feeling; throughout Europe. We despise those tyrants, but we desire no revolution or anarchy ; and we *love out King because his subjects are free. I therefore give yea—' Suc cess to thn Freedom of every country, and destruction to tincifoly Alliance.' "—(Velieunen! applause.) yartuus other toasts were given. About ten o'clock Lord Rossiya and Sir Ronald Fergosson retired, amid the applause of the Meeting. ; and the company separated. BA LUKENS.

Accordingly, it was soon found that it be male pro ;Waive of isteteriel advantages ; and an ,Erostatic hint tnie was fuModed by the Committee . of Puhlic safety. said the Royal Lodge of aleudon was choeen as a manufoctort for the preparation of the Balloons, and of the at.paratuta oecessary to accompany them to the armies. M. Conte, a man of Indefatigable aseidnity ant profound research, was appointed Director of the Institution. The Corps of . l Eronauti destined in this new capacity to serve the Republican Army, consisted of 50 courageous youths trained at the School of Sleudon. There the Bee loons were prepared which were sent to the armies; the Entreprenant foe the Army of the North, by means of which the hostile army was reconnoitred at the battle of Pleuras; the Crime, 'foe the Army of the Sambre anti 51aese : the Hercule and•tho lntrepide for the Army of the Rhine and Moselli, - The Whole management was enveloped in the most pro found. secresy. There was a camp for the exercise of the artillery; but the whole was conducted by the Repablict With the greatest privacy and precaution, the dooia being. shut against the Public and ail Foreigners. Copte further applied hie thoughts to the invention of a similar .11tostatio Telegraph, which, without the assistance of a great balloon, or an aerial correspondent, should be managed by a person suspended to a small balloon of only twelve feet in diameter. Coutel, Captain of the /Eronautie Corps, was the man who ascended with the Entreprenant Balloon on the 2tith of 1791, and who conducted the wonderful and import ant service of reconnoitring the hostile armies at the batt le of ,fleurus, accompanied by an Adjutant and a General. He ascended twice on that day, to observe, from - an deca- Ilan of four hundred and forty yaids, the position and ma i nmairea of the enemy. On each occasion he remained tsar Mints in the air, and by means of preconcerted signals Olt Aiks, carried on a correspondence with General Jour. dan,:the' Commander of the French Artily. His intended iseent had been made known to the enemy, Who, at the moment when the Balloon began to take its " flight, opened the fire of a battery against the Aionauts. The first volley seas directed too low ; dee ball, nevertheless, paote.rbetween the Balloon and the Car, and so near to the former, that Coutel imagined it had struck it. When the sithsetinent discharges were made, the Balloon bad already reached such an altitude as to be beyond the reach of cannon shot. and the iEronauts saw the • balls • flying beneath the Car. Arrived al their intended height, the observer., remota front danger, and undisturbed, viewed all the evolutions of the enemies, and, fro .n the peaceful regions of the air. commanded a distinct an 1 comprehensive prospect of two formidable aetnies engaieed in the wovk of death.
