the subscription opened for that persecuted l o ad. dual, Mr. Hone. It was said that be had acted im. prudently, and that he ought to have waited sent', be saw bow his own party would think fit to prat. teed ; but he had very properly consulted only hie own feelings. Well, when these great men met, and declared their principles, what did they aay en the su bject of the right of -voting ? Why they declared that " Suffrage was personal and common."--a-What could be more distinctly Universal Suffrige than this? —lt was true that they afterwards stated, that right limitation', and so did Sir F. ought to be subject to Burdett, for nobody ever imagined that it was intended that every individual should vote. The Society of the Friends of the People, however, declared that the limitation should be so low es to put it in the power of every individual by industry to attain the right.— This was precisely that for which Sir F. Burdett and those near him had contended, and for doing of w hi c h they were accused of entertaining visionary and impracticable theories. Ile made, however, on ly • the principle of Universal Suffrage the general role, as the Friends of the People had done, and like them regarded the limitations as the exceptions. It bad been said by the agents of corruption, that those who maintained these principles were mad. Now all that he should ask of those who heard him, if ever be abandoned those principles as others had done, was, that in mercy they should think him sad, and save hint from the reproach of di s h on esty, The following toast was (her; drank : • " J. C. H•shhou,e, E•q. whose powerful writhiga and whose ia'r t .id ,'•mlurt have worificiesitly aid• d the ramie or Liberty." Mr. Hositousc declared his attachment to the , principles the triumph of which they were assem`►led to commemorate. As the question of sincerity bad been touched open, he could only express a hope that his h•'alth would never be their disease, nor his life their death. Eyes, this was, perhaps, promising mu. h at the outset of a political 1110, for he hardly knew one whose heal , h, politicasly speaking, was riot injurious to them, or whose death would not tend to their salvation. They came not there to consume the moans of mistaken bounty. or to build up Churches with one hand, and dilapidate the State with the other ; or to celebrate or assist (Dell who thought it a glory In uphold the system of the worst Minister that had ever deceived or de laded the country. They came there to comme morate an event whisk he hoped would often recur, of electing the great matt in the chair as their Repre sentative, because, by fatal experience, they bad found that he was the only man whom they could trust. flit return, therefore, must always animate whatever sparks of Liberty might yet remain in our • expiring Constitution. He confessed Ititnself glad to sleet sn a.seinbly of Jacobins.—(A laugh.)—The term was of tin consequence, and he seldom heard it applied except to the enemies of Corruption. (Mr. Hobhouse then alluded to some of the opinions main tained by Mr. Canning, who, he agreed with the worthy Elector who had just done him the honour of interrupting him, was unworthy of the notice of a rational man, and who could oiily be respectable its their eyes, as hewing beet, animadverted upon by the Chairman.) He could assure them, that on no other account would he have presumed to introduce for a moment, the mention of that abandoned name. —(Loud applause.)-11e concluded by giving the following toast, which was received amidst general cheers •• The honest and independent Elector* of Westminster—not forget i ice. our 2108 Phimprrs." The following toasts were afterwards drank, with corresponding feeling : • The peogrew f Pteitie Opt i n•" • 6 'whinge' i:ru.e, E)q. the hrr-ie deliverer of Laveletle." s.

The interesting ceremony of Chairing Sir FRANCIS tuttortt gave a lively and peculiarly pleasing ap pearance to Westminster yesierday. It completed the triumph of that City, and the gratifying feeling seemed to pervade all ranks, and brighten every countenance. Never did we witness a more elevating sight ; " Truth, Justice, and Reform," were indeed enthroned in the majesty of nieces., and ' , salted on their best and unfailing support, purity of prin ciple. Never did we witness a more lively or gene ral enthusiasm, displayed in the cause whose triumph arse thus commemorated; and never, we are still snore gratified to add, did an ausemblege, actuated by the strongest feelings that can influence mankind, observe more exemplary order and tranquillity then what distinguished the prnceedings_ of yesterday, notwithstanding the occasions so gretisitously afford. ed for the indulgence of insulted and irritated feel ings. The good sense of the People proved, as it ever will do, the best security for maintaining the good order of soelety ; and the precautions which the Home Secretary affected to consider iadi=peo•ihle for preserving the peace of City, of whi c h precautions, not the least remark‘hle wits, the with• drawing of the High Constable from the Proc.s,ion —a measure which we will vent•ire , 0 say would not bave been adopted, had Sir ?dun K 1Y MAXWELL heel, the successful Candidate—pros , d he utterly on necessary, and merely showed !i a diapHsition of the party who looked with evil eye- en this blameless triumph of the People, and the purest of -princiees. ~l ~. - ;z€~ ! gTATkgMAN A description of the proceedings on this interesting I occasion will he t o n e d i n anot h er part of our P aper, together with those at the dinner at the Crown and Anther Tveern, where Sir FRANCIS BUNDETT met above a thousand of his Electors, and where the Hon. Baronet, in a speech, the spirit and transcendent ability of which the pen of the reporter would have but faintly transfused to his page, hadeven circumstances been more favourable, accepted the trust so honourably conferred upon him, and in vindicating his own political conduct, put thoeise mies of Reform to lasting sbame. Mr. Caw:stoats speech at Liverpool, in which that insolent Jobber, and minion of Corr Option, was as liberal of his taunts open the Reformers, as upon poor OGDEN, received lock& castigating review from S. r FRANCIS, as perhaps the keen and classical wit of the able Baronet alone could give, and which will leave the Liverpool Orator and parasite of CASTLEREAGH, but a very slender re. mains of character and approbation for talent, as well es for honesty. Mr. Iloattottsr, the friend of Lord BYRON, also spoke end exerted himself with much ability and zeal ots this occasion. as did the Hon. DOUGLAS KINNATIUD, and Mr. Baccr, the deliverer of LATAL.&TTE. A circumstance, however, attended the commence. meat of the Meeting at the Crown and Anchor, which had nearly destroyed the harmony of the even ing, and the very object of the assembly. We no tice it in this place reluctantly, hut Kith the indigna tion which the treatment the company received ex cites. The dinner was advertised to take place et five o'clock precisely, and the Procession arrived about ten minutes after that time at the Taveyn The company, of course, expected to he admitted by the regular entrance, and at the great door. Above Eve hundred respectable persons were assembled by the time specified opon the stairs, in the lobbies, and passage., but could obtain no entrance to the Great Room until nearly half-past xis, at which time, for self. preservation, they were obliged to burst open the door, when they found the Great Room already filled, and the viands in the progress of consumption, by an equally numerous, but more favourite parts., who had been admitted by a private enor9ore. Of course the utmost confusion, uproar, and disappointment prevailed for a long time, and the inconvenience was every moment increased by fresh admissions, though we understand the Committee had given di rections to restrain the Went' tickets long previous to the hoot of (limner. The feeling which this coo. duct gave rise to is indescribable, and we look upon it ella most fortunate cirrnmstance for the cause which envy and malice Po vain sought to sully and defame, that no real disaster occurred from this gross mis management. -..~..- . Our accounts from Mon.. Ayres mention that the North American Commissioners were still in the ca pital, hot nothing certain was known or the real object or result of their mission. Two of the Com. missioners were shout to proceed back to the United State., and the other was to go on to Chili by land. This Deputation from the United States Government had been received in a most cordial and flattering manner, and it was expected considerable advantages would be derived from it. General Becoamso still occupied the position of Tucuman. Coinage had ceased in Potosi for want of quicksilver. The Wind ham, of 36 guns, had been purchased by the Chili Government. The success of the Patriots in Chili, and the cheering aspect of affairs in Venezuela, are subjects of just congratulation to every liberal mind. The accounts we communicated yesterday were hailed in the City with evident and general signs of satisfac tion. Every one was pleased at the prospect thus opened to commerce, to freedom, and the establi=h• meat of national independence. Every body re joiced to see the delusions of the Spaniards unmasked; every one exulted in the approaching close of a cruel and sanguinary war—closing in the overthrow of tyranny, and in the Independence of the South American Empire; for the great Continent, wend ing from the isthmus of Panama to Cape Horn, is now severed from Spain, we hope for ever. Buenos Ayres is mistress of her own fate, because, from her situation, spirit, and resources, she holds the power— so is Chili, Peru, Venezuela, and Saute Fe. French Papers, and Letters f►om Paris, to the date of Saturday last, have been received. These Papers are still silent with respect to the conspiracy of the Ultra-Royalists; hut the private letters continue to assert its reality ; adding, that the person who re vealed it was the Chancellor D'Amonalr, who, it is said, renounced all connexion with the intriguers, on finding that their plot was di►ected, not only against the Ministers, but also against the life of the Sovereign. A letter of the 9th states some very endows circumstances connected with it. One of these was a formal conversation upon the subject held hetween MoNciEuit and the King's Ministers, at St. Cloud, nn yesterday week. Considering the reports which had been circulated, we are not sar. pried in learn that Monstcum pointedly demanded that the utmost severity of the 18'NR should be exer cised upon the guilty, after a fair and legal trial.— General CANUEL is said to have abscotttle;l.

During his lmheii.l Nlsjosty's stay at Mc. , lajew they launched the Flora, r 41. gun frigate. Th. King of PRUSSIA arrived at %Vilna on the 10th June, on which occasion the city was illuminated. The Diet of Norway has addressed the King of SWEDEN, ex. pressing their joy at his appearance among them, and their happiness in soon seeing his brows bound with the ancient diadem of their country. They base no. tified le his Majesty, that they had passed a Decree. conferring the sovereignty of Norway, with full powers, on hiq * on , th e Crown ' Mice' OSCAR, its the event of his Majesty being rendered incapable by ill ness, of executing its functions. The Papers by German Mails state, that the Can tons of Switzerland have decided on the maintenance of a powerful army, amounting to 60,000 men, and a reserve of 40,000. This force would indicate that the Helvetic Republic is not a little apprehensive of some attempts upon its liberties ; but the military force of the Swiss Confederacy consists of a militia establishment occasionally exercised, though always ready, subsisting, while disembodied, ou the private resources of its members,and actuated bye national, much mitre than a professional spirit. Solemn pre. parations were making in flesse.Homhurg for the entry of the Prince and his Royal Consort into their hereditary dominions. The plans and shiftings about of the Ministers show beyond doubt that they are alarntedtby the results of the late Election. It is not without cause that they are giving signs of sickness, alarm, and uneasiness. The new Parliament already presents • very per. ceptible contrast to the old. The Elections ha* proved strikingly adverse to the hopes of the Prince Regent's Ministers, and the following state. meat, which we believe to be tolerably correct, will serve to show what answer the Electors of Great Blitoiti have returned t. the appeal made to them by his Royal Highness. Even where the Ministerial Candidates have been successful, that success has ge. nerally been (as at York and in Westmorland) attended with any accession to their numbers. It is obvious that every inilependent Member, who h,ss displaced a Tory, makes • difference of two on a di vision, and in that wed they areestimated in this con. trust. Th.r, are probably a number of other cases, tint within our kuosledge, where Ilse popular interest has prevailed. It will be remarked that Ministers bare I►een least sucreciful where they are hest known, and 'bat, with all their enormous influence, they hare not been able to make head, even in the seat of Go. vernment, agai.►st the loudly raised voice of the People.

The election of a Member of Parliament for the County of Ross, after a long and warm contest, has terminated in favour of Mr. NiACILENZIE. who was chosen at a very numerous meeting of the Freehold ers at Tails, on the 7th inst. by a majority of six. It appears that the plague his broken out with so great virulence at Tangier, it has been found wens sary to adopt extraordinary means to prevent its eits tension to the Spanish shore.
