The lime required into a Committee of the whole on the resolution offered by Mr. SMITH, of North Ca funna,for amending the Constitution of the ("tilted Staten, se 23 to require the election of Members of Congress. and electors of President and Vice President uniformly by districts throughout the rnited States. Mr. ROSf. of Ohio. was in the Chair, the resolution WI. passed by the Committee without much debate, atul repotted to the House ; but, with a view to allow farther time fur refeetion on the subject, it was or detect to lie oa the table by a vote of 67 to 64. Ag an indication of the spirit of political indepen dence whi.li spreads among the higher classes of the inhabitants of Scotland, we present our readers to day with an abridged account of the proceedings that took plice at lidinburgli on Saturday, at the dinar in cel.bratiou of the memory of ilr. Fox. In hailing the prospect opening on the friends of that Constitutional liberty and order, of which Mr. Fox bad lung been the strenuous champion, Mr. CRAM srocs, a distinguished advocate at the Scottish bar, • of whose powerful eloquence we regret oar scanty limits restrain us from affording. an adequate spe cimen, took occasion from a surrey of the United States, and of South America, to direct his attention nearer hone, and reinai k on the bright light "that" said lie, " had burst on the nations of Europe, which 'oefore had sat under the shadow of deepest night. Spain, Por tugal, and Naples, burst sudden and magnificent in the splendour of liberty ; and they had lived to witness its glorious dawn. It may, indeed, be overcast— clouds may arise to darken the horizon, hut he trusted they were bat morning clouds, soon to pass away. Is it the dream of enthusiasts those principles they were :net to avow and commemorate ? Is it a chimera that these principles were calculated to promote he interests of the country and exalt the dignity of the human race:" The same generous feeling appears to have pervaded the meeting., and give. the pleasing promise that the friends its tl north will no longer suffer their bre thren of the south to bear away the palm in the noble struggles for whii h they are now preparing in the work of Reform, and in ameliorating the condi tion of their common umpire. Every fresh exertion wade in Scotland by the advocates of independence, has prodw-eit a new accession of supporters, and their triumphant effort at the County Meeting of the ree holder s of Lanark, to a detail of whose proceedittL% we to-day with pleasure refer our reader-, must prove the presage of the happiest results. No thing can more cumpietely manifest the sense of the country re.pecting our present weak amid niiscliievous Administration, th:..n the de. fection seen in Scottish counties, where adherence to the Ministers of the day has hitherto been con sidered as much a point of duty as of interest.— The members of the Pitt Club of Edinburgh twill their meeting the same day, but appear more re-. markable fur a display of their numbers on the ycca shin than tither of their spirit or talent. Prince Cimitelli, Ambassador from the Constitn tiou.rl Government of Naples at this Cour►, but who, from the impolicy of Ministers, has not had an audi epee of his Majesty, yesterday received a letter from the King of Naples, written by his own Irani, re quiring 6i, innncdiate attendance at Laybach, to assist him in the conferences he has to endure with the de spotic Sovereigns there assembled. The Prince sets out on the journey forthwith. The EdimbeirgA Commit of Saturlay last, received this tuortiiirg, states that the reports in the London journals respecting the death of the Earl of London rimy are corrohusrated, if not confirmed by letters re ceir.d by a nubleurau in Edinburgh, from ireand, ries Purtpatrick. From the date of the letter (the sth in stant.) this journal adds that his Lordship must have thud on the 4th, or early on the morning of the 5:1;. We ourselves, have received no acconnts from Ireland to day ; but, we think it proper to remark that the Dahlia paper's of Thursday, the 11th which attired yesterday, and which had an uncommonly quick ps.- cage, take no notice of the above event, of which, had it occurred at the time reported, they could scarcely have been tinappriz...l. Mr. Canuinileft town early yesterday morning for Paris. The Address of the Females in Newcastle and its vicinity to the Queen has received 6,3.11 signatures. --(Newcast Chrouirk.) Sir Charles tireville and Mr. Mills. the members for the Borough of IVarwick, have, it appears, declined the Lonour of iweseuting to the Queen the address which had been voted to her Majesty, at a public meeting of the Burg ntl Inhabitants of that Bo roligh. Lo c,toserctice of the refusal of their repre sentatives, the Committee appointed for carrying in.() effect the resolutions of the pnialic meeting, have de termined to proceed to Lotion, and personally pre sent the address to her Majesty.

From the estimates of the expenditures and receipts for the years 1'1•20 and I s2l, whic:a this repo.t contain•, it appears that the Revenues have fallen off in a very alar►uing man ner. The deficiency in December Is2l is computed at seven millions four hundred thousand dollars. ►ROM TIIE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCES. " The receipts into the Treasury for the present year Om holing monies received fr,mi loans) are stated at 16,819,637 dollars. The payments into the Treasure during the fourth quarter from the same sources, are es timated at 3,4311,1111 dollars, making the total estimated revenue of the present year 211,219,637 dollars; which, added to the balance in the Treasury on the Ist day of January las!, at:not:l6l)g to 2,076,607, makes the aggre gate amount of 22.32t1,211 dollars. The expenditures for the same period are estimated at *25,061,-113 dollars. " There will, therefore, according to this estimate, he a balance against the Treasury, on the Ist day of next month of 2,638,11;9 dollars : the receipts from the cus toms having fallen greatly short of the amount at which they were estimated in the last animal report. " The estimate of the expemiiture for the year 1921 was 2.1,000,000 dollars; the receipts estimated at 16,60900 dollars. " Mr. Crawford, the Secretary of the Treasury, re commends a loan." The question of the Missouri territory being admitted into the American Union, has given rise to much dis mission. It is expected the measure will be warmly op posed in both Houses, on accouut of the Constitution of that State with reran) to the Slave Trade; the importa tion and traffic in slaves being still allowed in the Missouri. The Committee appointed to report respecting the Petitions presented to Congress on the subject of the tariff, have reported unfatourably fur the Petitioners, who wished a higher rate of duty on British manufac tams. No change in the import * duties is now expected. OLD BAILST.—This morning there was no case of any public interest. The sessions are expected to close early this afternoon. TUE STATESMAN. ANNIVERSARY OF MR. FOX'S BIRTH-DAY. - On Friday, the friends and admirers of •the princi ples of the right honorable CILiRIAR Mutt! Fox met in the Waterloo Hotel, Regent Irridge, lo comme morate his memory. Between 400 and 500 noblentenl and gentlemen came forward, but the room not being large enough to contain them, upwards of 100 dined in an adjoining apartment, and were accommodated in the large room after the cloth was removed. The Barr of Ilbsslyn took the Chair, supported by Lord Hondas on the right, and Mr. Lambton, member of Parliament for Durham, on the lett. sear his Lord• ship sat Sir Henry Monereitc, Bart. of Weliwood ! Mr. Barrrett, M. P. ; Messrs. Cranstonn and Clerk, ;advo cates, &c. Lord Olenorchy acted as croupier, sup ported by Mr. Stewart *Kenzie, of Olasserton, Mr. Kennedy, of Dnnure, and Mr. Ferguson, of Raith, Messrs. Jeffrey, Brant, Cockburn, Monereiff, &c. filled the different stewards' Chairs. After dinner, " Non \obis, Domine" was sung by Messrs. Templeton, Lees, &c. The Chairthan then gave The King. He after wards gave 'I he Queen, and all the rest of the Royal Family. His Lordship said that the next toast he would pro pose was in honor of the illustrious individual whose memory they were met to celebrate. He would not gr•itify his private feelings by dwelling on the amiable qualities which distinguished and adorned hhn in private life, the placibility of his disposition, the warmth of - lils affection, and the constancy of his friemiship. They were now to eon %bier the political principles that governed his public life as a statesiti3n, in the adoption and perpetuation ' of whirlifthey would have the safest guide and best stay I in their conduct, and to which alone they co ild look 1 with confidence for the possession of the tights and liberties established at the Revolution. Mr. Fox was endowed with an enlightened mind and comprehensive nederstandinz. Ile traced for himself a line of poll. tical ditty awl pursued it with an unwearied persevr- r once and magnanimity. He never swerved flow it for the kntpeations of power, or the seductive allurements Itf popular opinion. No man formed a truer estimate ' of the different branches of the Constitution—no man was a firmer friend to the legitimate and comoitn tional rights of the Sovereign, and no man in tile a firmer resistance when any attempts were made to trench `upon them. It was to his exertions that the country owed, in a great degree, many of the renovated and 1 re-established rights of the Revolution I and it was from an imit,ttiJit of his'resolution and independence, anti a coiatexion of all classes of the people, that they were to look for a preservation of their rights and privileges. In the came of the people he was I a tried and steady advocate, and when the kinOy power le I to incroachment, he kept a vigilant watch, and was ever prepared to resist the inflitence of the Crown, when exercised at the expense of the people. Ile was a firm asserter of the independence of Parliament, and felt the necessity of a I lose cor respondence with the body of the pesple. lie felt the necessity of confirming time intercourse between the reprt•sentatives and their constituents, on that alone the preservation of the authority of Parliament, the protection of the people, and security of the whole state depends. To maintain the dignity of the Crown ; to support the privileges of Parliament ; to purify the administration of the laws for the benefit and security of the people ; to re• train all branches of the (lover m• ment within its due limits, w..s the end and object of Mr. Fox's political life and opinions. No man was a more determined and hold supporter of free and public discussion on public measures. The great measure by which he provided for the security of the public press, the great organ of public discussion, remains a monument of his regard for the interest of his 'votary. It now remains to congratulate this part of the country on this great public meeting—the numbers, the character of those which composed the meeting, gave them a right to pride themselves, and the assembling of such numbers as were there met, gave the best example, and surest pledges, to the pub lic and the cou , ary, of their faith and attachment to the Constitution and the laws, and their determined resolution to support the just rights of the people on all occasions. Perhaps there never was a period of more awful interest than the present, n !tether they extended their views to Europe at large, or confined them to their domestic situation. Abroad, they had to lament peouliarly the combination of arbitrary l'rinces against the liberty of the world— (.lpplausr)—anal nho particularly threatened with danger all those nations who placed their hope and security in a representative givernment. At home, they had to lament the de privations and difficulties which all clases of the con:infinity felt; anal he grieved to add, the still greater misfortune, in the just discontent witis many of the proceedings of his Majesty's Govern ment.—(Applause). After the unwarrantable pro ceedings in the House of Lords, the country now *timed with much confidence and hope to the conduct of the House of Commons, and expected a different line of duty from them when they met. —(.Applause.) The spirit of honour, independence, anal loyalty, animated the meeting, and afforded a striking and beneficial example to the country to stand forward as the defenders of their riehts and inte rests, and the asserters of the privilege of free discussion on all public measures. The present meeting would be a pledge, that when occasion respired, they would be found in the first ranks of resistance to all wild and des perate theories of government, threatening alike' the safety of the Crown, and the subversion of all order and liberty among the people.—(Applause.)—Hariag stated generally to the meeting the principles of Mr. Fox, he kit flattered to avow and would endeavour always to maintain, similar printlittles, and to deserve the approba tion sod teeniest* of countrymen. He now would propose-- 'rise immortal memory of Charles Jaunts Fol."— " Here's to him that's awn."— " The Rights of the People, as established at the Re volution in 165S."—(Three cheers.) " The Liberty of the Press, the best security for the liberties of the people."—(Three times times.) " The Duke of lork and the Army." 1a giving this toast, his Lordship was desirous of do ing justice to the illustrious individual, for the impartia lity and liberality with which that department was con duuted, without regard to private or political feelings.— (Loud cheers ) The Navy:. MIMP•M••••11 _f - T The words in which the next toast was coached pre cluded the necessity of his .13 . ing one word in praise of its object. He wonkl, thrrufore, only give— '• The Duke of Sussex, rite - -enuous and steady sup porter of the principle!, that placed his (amity on the throne.—(Three times three.) " The liukes of Hamilton, Argyll, and Roxburghe, and the Whigs of Scotl.trol." His Lordship felt it unnere-sary to say anything in addition to this, except that hi. rejoiced in conpling the Whigs of &whaml with noblemen who were such tried and steady friends of ft betty. He was entrusted with an apology from the I:nke of Argyll, who was . prevented from attrmline• sad snarkina his political aratitnersta, u according with those of this meeting.—(Three time, three.)--" Three Arid Fellows avont yon then." " hart Grey awl the Whigs of I...•gland."—(Lousl cheers.) Lord llosst.rx said, he was charred hr Earl Grey to express his regret at being prevented from availing him- Self of the invitation with which he had heen honoured by the stewhrds, chiefly from the state of his health and the necessity of attending his duty at the rtiblic county meeting in Northumberlatad two da)s ago. After a loith eulogittni on the character of that distinguished character, his Lonlahip concluded ley Lord Grey, and those connected with hint in public life."— (Three times three.) " The Dttk • of ',ringer and the Whigs of Ireland."— (Three times three.)--St. Pattick'a Day. Lord litcNitectiv then proposed the health of the Earl of Russlvn, who after returning thanks, proposed the health of Lord (ilenoreity. Lard 4iLextorcuy retvirtool thanks for himself and his father. His father was a steady Whig, and he had heard him say a few days ago, that there never was a time obeli tfiere was more nerd fur the exertion of the prin ciples of Mr. lox than the present. • JEFFIIKT after an ploy:tent and impressive preface, proposed the health of his friend Mr. Brougham, e.htch was received with three times three; and was followed by Mr. Cranstoun, who in a speech that produced un common sensation. awl which was delivered in a most glowing and emphatic. manner, proposed "Lord Erskine and Trial try Jury." Mr. lie:lst:Pr, of Minnie, proposed the health of the Hon. Mr. Lanibton, and the independence of Durham. Mt.ll.rmyrox, in a long and animated speech, rti turned thanks, and that the more cordially, Ile 'aid, be cause his name haul been vaunt., tad with the independence of the county of Duthane. lie concluded amid loud cheers by drinking to John Clerk and the independence of the Scottish, Bar. Mr. JOHN CLERK. after expressing his acknowledg ment.: in appri,nriate terms, proposed a toast, he said, to a nultlemiti. wilt) 11.,..1 been allied by great talents to the illu.teiola char.' •ter, who're memory they were then vete hrating, and who, from his earliest rears, had been the friend and advocate of liberal and independent princi ples. Ile wotthl mention the great name of Lord Rel. After a number of other toasts and speeches from Mr. J. A. Murray. Mr. A. Scott, Mr. Inglis, Mr. Barret', M. P. Mr. Cockburn. Lord Dundas, Mr. Ferguson of Raith, &e. Se. Mr. M rcraat.lNC said a few words in fa vour of a Reform in Parliament, and pee, "',he cattle of parliamentary reform." Lord Rosst.vx then rose, and thanked the lee'lnr for the orderly and proper conduct they had displayed. After %Illicit, the Meeting dispersed at half pest un o'clock. The ultra loyal gentry of the urns, as if to rival the celebration of the memory of Mr. Foe, held the same day, Friday last, the anniversary meeting of their Pitt CIA, at EJinhnrgh. They dined together at the Assembly Rooms, George-street, where the Marptis of Huntly was in the Chair. From the sr..- roans we find of their proceeding% it appears, that though thee• rivalled the Whig! in the number of their toasts and bumpers of wine, they cannot stand a comparison stith thew in the number or the spirit of their speeches. The toast they proposed to their Ministerial majority in Parliament, was of such an equivocal kind, that we are not surprised that no member of either House returned thanks for the com pliment.
