Although the declaration of the Centlenea amembied in Castle-street enn mho sow observations in which we danteatirely agree with them, there is one passofe so truly excellent, that 1 bee yna will permit me to read it to you.

The adherents of Ministry in Liverpool, hav ing determined fur the first time publicly to cele. brato the birthday of the Lite Mr. Pitt, the friends of Parliamentary Reform in that town determined to avail themselves of that occasion to revive the memory of the early political princi plts of that Statesman. Fur this purpose L:tey formed a Committee of about thirty petions, which principally consisted of merchants of great respectability. These Gentlemen, wishing to se cure a full-attendance, and at the same time an orderly assembly, engaged individually , to dispose of a certain number of tickets, - price 14lf a crown each, to persons for whose conduct they could be responsible. These tickets entithitl the bearer to partake of an ,old English dinner, a to be washed 'low', only by ale and porter. Triaccom modate the guests a tennis-court was hired, „which . at four o'clock on Monday last was crpwded by between eight arid nine hundred persons, who pavtook of an excellent dinner, at which l'uom.ts ltswsos, Jun. Esq. presided, supported by the celebrated Mr. TA011.16 GREEN, who, et,„the last election s to ably asserted the rights of tbe inde pendent freemen :if Liverpool. Before, tic Pre sident and the Vice-President .were deposited a sheep roasted whole, the horns which were gilt ; the rest of the dinner, whic h was ad. init - ably dressed, consisted of boiled and pest bctf, and plenty of vegetables.

When the company had drunk the third toast, the Rev. Mr. SHEPHERD arose,• and after making a- few preliminary remarks on the displeasure evinced against that Aleeting by the adherents of Ministry in the town of Liverpool, proceeded in the following terms : Gill% up, in despair, Gentlemen, the idea of pleasing our fellow-townsmen, who are now assembled in Castle-street, let us endeavour to please ourselves.—(Applauser.] Let us satisfy our own hearts and conscieoces—[.lppfauser t] and that, I ma persuaded, we can only effect by a Mau adherence. to the principles of the British Constitution; byes bold asser tion of those principlet• of freedom which, I am sorry to ob serve, it is too much the fashion of the present times IN revile and to impugn.—[ Apple/an.] With this view, we avail our selves of the recurrence of Mr. Pitt's birth-day. to celebrate Cie early principles of tharStatesman---pcinciples to which, if he had adhered, and which, if he bad supported by the_powee of his extraordiamy abilities, be would have vslidereff=amlf the blessing and ornameut, instead of what he ultimately proved to be—the curse and rain of his country.—[Loud .Ipplauses.] Gentlemen, in order to refresh- your memory with regard to such of those principles, its at this time Caine most home to our feelings, 1 will, with your permission, rend from the volume which I 'hold in my hand . (Pitt's 'Speeches, edited by Hathaway) a few short extracts from Mr. Pitt's early speeches in Parliament. Mr. Shepherd then pro ceeded to read the extracts in question, which were re- ceived by the Meetiag . with loud plaudits, especially the last, which was conceived in the futloo ing terms : ". Toe. House itself had discovered that is secret inditence of " the Crown was sapping the very fiimidat of liberty by " eorniptiou. The influence of the Crown had beets felt 4 ', within those walls, and had often been found strong enough " to Aide tbe sense sif duty - , and to overrule the propasitions " made to satisfy the wishes and desires of the people." Such, Gentlemen, said Mr. S. were the early principles of Mr. Pfft—principles, for the desertion of whiCh his me mory will this day receive a tribute of respect from our fellow-tostuanwu assembled in Castle-street—priaciples, for adhering to which Mr. Pitt, in after life, doomed many an honest man to pine in the gloom of a prison. or to wear away the remnant of a wretched being on the bleak and inhovitable shores of New Holland—principles, fora he :Lamaism of which hewer made a daring and wicked attempt to shed the l,lood of his former associates in the anise of lteforiu.—[ Viitfrat agitation.] Fur the animetiance of these principles, Geode men, we are at this day vilified and calumniated; but in spite of all opposition, Gentlemen, we will maintain them to our latest breath, as the .*rue safeguard of the Comtitation, and the means of the salvation of oar count ry.—( Loud applause.] For, tientleaten, let us take warning by what is passed; let us trace the consequences of Mr. Pitt's dereliction of these prin: ciplev; let as, on this subject, appeal to Mr. Pith's favourite criterion, " exoerience and the evidence of facts." When Mr. Pitt sauce into office, the national debt amounted to up wards of too hundred millions of money. Wham lie died, he left as a legacy that debt, increased to the amount of up wards of six hutidred millions. When he assumed the reuts of Government, the hand of titration pressed comparatively lightly oil the people; but, in consequence of. his measures, how are we circumstanced now ? 1 appeal. Gentlemen, to your recolleetion— I appeal to your feelings. Are we mit taxed from the crown ut the head to the sole of the font Do we not bend beneath the pressures of imposts of every dimem sion anal Have we not, bpides the ordinary course of taxation, such as Customs, Ercise, told assessed taxes—have we not that ravenous financial monster the In come or Plover's. Tax ? (greet egiialioo.l Yet, Gesoleram, we have lived to see inquisitions established in every district of the kingdom. We have lived to see the day when any man, however honest, is liable to be simmioned before authority under the imputai • of roguery—when the pi irate affairs of every inditridual are subject to scrutiny, and when those who, while struggling with poverty, have still contrived to make a decent appearance in the eyes of their neighbours. are com pelled, either to submit to he short to the quick by the slwen of taxation, or to wake the most niortifs log discloser. s.— ( Fioknt agitation.) Gentlemen, we are in AUCU a situation, tnat agree( fiutuicicr, Mr. Huskisson t has lately asserted in the /louse of C as, that taxation is united at its ultimate point ; but, Gentlemen," lay not this nattering enction to your soul-," that this is true, Humes the Chancellor of the Ex chequer seemed to assent to the propositiou. On ibis subject Mr. Perce.al has lately let out a little secret, which we shall -do well to attend to. Yoa well know, fientleitum, that when a soldier is sentenced to a very severe punishaseut, and cannot safely receive the whole at ow time, his soresare healed be fore he is brifik;lll. a Second time to the haltietts; for military disciplinarians tire a walvo that if they did not take the precau tion, the sufferer wonld either die, or be driven to despair, and denroy himself or his tormentors. Just so, Gentleeten, is this station doomed to be treated; for Mr. Perceval has lately stated, that we ate in such a condifites, that it is not prudent to lay upon us a fresh taxation answer than wee is three years. iriolent. merman.) And, Gentlemen, by what less this enormous expend i titre been occasioned, and to what has it been devoted? It has been principally occasioned by a war,of which, snpportod by the high authority of Mr. Fox. I will not he sitate to saS that it was wicked.in its original principle, hod most unfortunate in its conduct. The professed object 9 r this war was, as it is es pressed in the Petition which we lately sent up to the House of Commons, " to circumscribe the limits of France, and to restrain her power." We all know how far these objects have been talented. I will nut, Gentlemen, ovary you with a histury of the wa r. I will nut , repeat to you the vexations story.of a series of ineifective victories told fatal defeats. Suffice it to say,' that Mr. Pin lived to tee the territory of France'alanniugly extended, amid her power consolidated.

[Loud applaxses.] Ciendeutes, it is a matter not only of carious, but of useful' too, to consider by is-haf wear Mr. Pitt was sup , during sohong a series of ca bonito's disappointmeias. tor these ineale.l rgfer' you to • the .

[Lord moshoirl, lenten, the mantle of Mr. Pitt has descended - span his favourite disciples, his Majesty's present Ministers. They have trod• h, his steps.-they have': pursued his schemes, without pumice lag a tythe. of his abilities. Their success has been correspondent. We behold almost the whole of Europe prostrate at the feet of Boni ;mile; and Erigliad is fighting. not iss she was wont to de; fat' fame, for territory, or to redress the wrongs of oppressed nos eions—she is fighting for her existence.

(Loud applause.] I will pass ovec-Ciutra and Corona; nor will I dwell upon the Battle, or as it is styled is Parliamentary language, the 1 , Victory of Talavera. [ d IsiagA.] A more atrocious subject calls for oar consideraisoo. You are well aware that I al-1 lude to the Expedition to the Scheidt. On looking into the 1 Minutes of Evideor relat to this Expedition, it appears.

But. alas! truly melancholy were its consequences. The Expedition returned, bodied and disap pointed of all its objects. The hers of our gallant troops were most seriously diminished—nor was that diminution atteuded with euiy circumstances of consolation.

It was soon found, however, that his Majesty, that is his blajesty's Ministers, did not think inquiry necessary. In these , circumstances the eyes of O.! public were anxiously directed to the House of Comusons. Witco that House met. the Ministry there attempted to evade inquiry.
