The Freak% papers of Saturday and Sunday have littl e that is important in their columns. The only subject of any interest agitated in the Chamber of Deptaies on Satur eay was, that under the report of the Commission appointed to inquire into the " projet" of ministers for reducing the interest of the national debt. The report, which is given at considerable length, is plausible, and sanctions the plan ; but it cannot disguise many difficulties which the French ministry will hive in carrying it into execution. The report, however, states, " That the Commission proposes the adoption of the project, without amendment." A letter, during the sitting, ens read by the President, from the celebrated Benjamin Constant, the validity of whose elec tion has been most unjustly impeached, stating that be was compelled to be absent front the Chamber for three weeks, fur the purpose of procuring the necessary documents to prove the validity of his return.—Rivaud de Is Raffiniere, it is stated, has refused Bounnont's command in Spain, and t:enersl Dijeon is, in consequence, named as his successor. Mouton Duremet will, it is ea:4l, command at Cadiz ; Ma taflorida, the Spanish lawyer, lately President of the in famous Regency of Urge!, and created a Marquis for his All viers, h.,s been named Ambarsador to no less a personage than the hey of Tunis, and quitted Burgos on the tith for his high destination.—The important fortress of Lepanto is said to have fallen into the hands of the Greeks on the 1. Alt of March. The artillery of the Philhellene', under the direction of Colonel Stanhope, after some heavy firing, firmed a practicable breach, and a summons was then sent to the Turkish Commandant to surrender. Jussuf Pacha ( who had thrown himself into Lepanto, with the remnant of his shattered force", after his defeats in the last cam paign), refused, however, peremptorily to secede to the summons of the Greeks, and the place, in consequence, was stormed on the night between the 1 nth and 13th, before the break of day. Constantine Bo:saris, and the brave Nieetas, called " the Turk Destroyer," led the assault ; and before seven in the morning of the 13th, the standard of the Christians floated from the ramparts of Lepanto. Num bers of the Turks fell in the fury of the assault ' • and an immense booty, in money, ammunition, arms, and baggage, si h all the .poils plundered in Achaia three years since, devolved to the Greeks. Jussuf Pacha is said to have fallen in the cattiest. 'l'he Paeha of Egypt is assorted positively to have been red by the Porte Commander-in- Chief of all the now preparing to act against the Creveks in the More* and islands in the next campaign, and the declaration of his independence is again denied. We shall be much surprised if Alahomed Ali accepts this perilous command, and resigns his present situation for no clime sus an office. The Creels, however, are now be yond all fears Sven the Turkish power. They never can be enslaved again by any renewed elfin' of this barbarous staereezaey. Their independence (by the confederated Powers of the Continent) is looked on as certain ; and these Power+ are in coilsequ• nee planning the erection of Greece into an independent kingdom, to he offered to " Charles John," of Sweden, or an Austria - ) Archduke. Russia and Austria cannot bear the idea of an independent republic existing in the East of Europe. An article of considerable ability, on the " Practice and Delays in the CJurt of Chancery," concludes the late number of the Qterrlet 1e Review. it is said to be written by a f..enticman whose contributions arc coowtant to this I!):tinguislied publication, and who has long been attached or.e of the first codices at the Admiralty Board. The o 4 efeure made for Lord lailon is e.eilitahle to his talents n industry ; it is at once eloquent, informed, and p 'Can s ; but in the warmth of hit zeal to vindicate Lord Eldon porame•//,, be concedes too little to the eziaiisw 4efects of the Court over which this great lawyer has solong pr.sided. The article in question is full of extracts front t!,e writings of other days. The object is to show that complaints have in all times existed against the delays and grievances of the Equity Court in this country, and have not originated with Lord Eldon's presidency. Pamphlets, pub lished so far back as the days of the great but corrupt Lord !Won, are aceorolinv! introduced with this view. sleotations of the saute kind are made from another publication', when land Li toh t no, in loin, was Lord timper. The writ,r tlion passes eiumpliantly to another pamphlet, published, as he says. "nut in the corrupt thous of George the or (;eor,;e the Fourth, but in the Acre and regenerate age of the Co mwealth," when the - .teat Seal was in t!onitnisaion, end held by such men as I 'tenors, Lisle, and Bulstroole IVhitelock, as f'oonntis :Wailers. Another complaint against the delays and expense., of this Court, from Mr. Williams. a Barrister, in the time of the Great Lord Sooners, in 1700, is also alluded to. prom that pamphlet the writer passes to one of the same itoacrilition, while Lind Chant-110r Cowper was at the head of that Court, in !inf. The last publication he concludes lois extract,' from is one in the Jays of Lord Ilardwicke, clorsm rl rearrukile *omen, wbi.ch spooks of the high Court of Chancery " as incontestibly the most dila tory as wi as the most expensive—an oppre , sion, (it adds,) which bit Majesty's subjects have long laboured ender, and univer.:ally complained of, insomuch that the , ferb bath net been more jocularly than 11 to such who, with more precipitation ,evolved to engage in l'hancery suits, mg up six or eight years in Cl:Amery r ause may so iong depend there, until lice arc exhausted, his health impaired, r vexation, emaciated, like a skeleton physician, or an anatomy in the once of a surgeon ; tar the delay of justice is said to be the ] denial thereof, since what is not done in due time is Dot done at all— "Justitia preerastituitio ejusdem fit almegnatio." In this way the writer of this able article endeavours to abew that the delays and grievances of the Equity Court have existed for ages—a position on which he teed not have expended so much ability and research ; for no one at all infotmed upon the subject had any doubt re specting it, or that the increase of population, of com merce, of wealth, and of consequent litigation, have thrown an immense increase of business into the Equity Courts, which, under its present composition, it is beyond the strength or ability of any individual to get through. The truth is, the duties of the Chancellor, as at present existing, are too important and too many to permit him to devote his time and talents to the business of the Court of Chancery. The proceedings of the Court also arc so complicated and tedious, so burdened with expense, and so full of delay, that the longest life is often too short to witness the conclusion of a suit de pending there ; and no moderate means can meet the ex penses of any protracted contest: health, and hope, and fortune, sink alike under the overwhelming burden. The talents and the profound information of Lord Eldon have never been questioned ; his high integrity is above all altapleall ; lie is laborious, unaffected, patient, and inves tigating; brat the strength and intellect of any one man are unequal to the weight of business he has flung upon him. As a Cabinet Minister, lie has the most im portant political concerns of this great country to attend to; holding the Great Seal, he bided/gee keeper of the King's conscience, as acknowledged headof the Established Church, and its most important interests and patronage are de posited in his hands. The whole legal jurisdiction of England rests in his keeping. He numerates in fact, the Judger], posnesses all the patronage of the bar, and ap points the entire magistracy of the kingdom. Ile is also Speaker of the House of Lords, and the woolsack is his hereditary and ancient scat, where he presides over all de liberations of that august chamber. Hitherto also he has attended all appeals brought before the Upper House, in their nature most complicated, and involving the most se rious interests front the three kingdoms. The reports of all the Judges, in every doubtful case of life and death, and those made by the Recorder from the numberless sessions of the ffid Bailey, all come before him ; and Lord Eldon, it is known, has peeved nights in the agitating deliberation where the existence of many human beings hung upon his decisien. These are limits. one would suppose, many and weighty enough for the mind and strength of any indivi dual, however capable or laborious • but the Chancellor has the immense daily business of t he Equity Court over which he presides, to attend to also: all bankrupt motions, all lunatic petitions, and those from minors, are decided by him ; and he has a throng of appeals beside from the Vice- Chancellor'e court. The able writer of the article in question says, "We have always doubted the constitutional propriety of the creation of the office of Vice-Chancellor, and we more than doubt its expediency and advantage." Now, though doubts were entertained of the " consti tutional propriety" of the appointment of this high officer, and strong opposition was made to the appointment when under consideration, no doubt can be entertained that his sittings have seriously reduced the accumulation of business depending before the Chancellor. All hearings of regular causts come before the Vice-Chancellor in the tint instance : he der ltei generally quickly and correctly. Where either party may appeal, it is to be expected that the unsuccessful suitor, plaintiff or defendant, will often try the remedy of another hearing, before the Chancellor ; but the press of business in his Court must be materially diminialud, since Sir John Leach was ap pointed to aid him. Lord Eldon's indecision in eases involv mg the most serious interests, has been often and pointedly dwelt on. It is hard to censure such feelings, when spring ing from the purest and most conscientious motives: yet, it would perhaps have been more satisfactory to all parties, if his decisions, in cases the most important, had been more prompt. A statement is given in the article in question of the number of controverted appeals and writs of error determined in the House of Lords bi every Chan cellor, from the time of Lord Hardwieke uown to Lord Eldon, situ the comparison is decidedly favourable to the present Chancellor. The interval was filled up by Lord Northington, Lord Camden, Lord Apaley, Lord Thurlow, and Lord Rosalyn. In some cases, the present Chancellor, during his Presidency, has decided three times the num ber of appals, and in all other cases more than twice the Amount. In fact, these appeals, from increased wealth and consequent litigation, throughout both countries, have mul tiplied beyond all former precedent, within the last twenty Years, and the decisions in consequence must of necessity have been much more numerous. This subject is one of so much importance, and has been agitated so warmly of late,' that after dwelling upon it already at so much length, we feel we have not been able notwithstanding to enter into it as fully as we would wish. The talents, the high integrity, and the industry of Lord Eldon are unques tioned: but it is impossible to deny, that the Court over which he presides needs a serious reform, and that in its present existence it is often destructive to the impoverished and despairing suitor. The Chancellor, therefore, acted with a feeling every way worthy of his high character, when he recommended the appointment of the Commis sion, since named, to investigate the composition, the practice, and the delays of this bight Court ; and the labours of' those since named for the investigation will, we have no doubt, be such as the high characters of the ex alted individuals appointed may lead us to expect, and most serviceable to the community at large, who are so deeply interested in the result. We shall take the first opportunity to return to this important subject again : it is one of paramount importance. WINDSOR, 11If•NDAI . , APRIL 19. The weather being remarkably fine this morning, the king rode out in his phaeton to the Royal Lodge, and other parts in Windsor Gnat I'ark. Prince I'ulignac (the French Ambassador) arrived at the Castle this day, on a •iait ti his Majesty. The Princess At;;;laartd the Prince Leopold, dined with the Duchess of Kent, yesterday, at her apartments at the King's Palace, Kensington.

The accouchement of Lady bac, which was first, we believe, noticed in an Exeter paper, and copied last week in the Freeholder, is not true.—Den./ Freeholder. The power of the Law Commissioners has been mate rially enlarged from what it was originally stated to be ; for besides the practice of the Court of Chancery, and the attendant expenses, they are to inquire " whether any and what part of the business now subject to such jurisdiction can usefully and beneficially be withdrawn, and committed to the jurisdiction of any and what other Courts or Tribunals." Yesterday the despatches for China, by the ship Princess Amelia, were closed at the East India-house, and delivered to the purser of that ship. Lo•tters from llolland, received yesterday, are filled with details respecting the new Trading Company, which may be considered a great national institution. The first inten tion was that the capital should be twelve millions of guildtrs; it is now proposed to be increased to twenty-four millions of guild's', and the books for the inscriptions were opened only a few hours before an amount of nearly seventy million guilders was subscribed for. The books were in convequenee closed, and a premium on Asses of ten and elcvt n pounds hiss already been realised. The, letters state, it is itnpesible to say where the premium may stop, as the applications from England, France, and tier- ' many arc numerous, and to an immense amount.

Nothing hating transpired here for the last week of any interest, further than what you find recorded in the Paris journals, I have deferred writing, for the purpose of send ing you an account of the Fete of Longehamps, which is kept up annually for three days in the lloly Week, and is considered wee of the most magnificent in the year. Yes terday was the first day ; at an early hour all was in mo tion in the Champs Eirees; thousands of chairs we►e ar ranged in lines on each side the road, from the Place Louis XV. to the Barrier de l'Etoile; hundreds of tables were also prepared by gingerbread merchants, sellers of bonbons, fryers of sausages, charlatans, and games of chance. About twelve the Duchess de Berry, with les Eqjans de Fnnwe, passed through the Champs Elysees. The Duc de Bounteaux is a beautiful child, and the rosy bloom of infancy which animates his features renders him peculiarly interesting; he is always placed at the carriage window, and his little hands are in constant motion in saluting the people. His sister is a pretty child, but excites less sym pathy. About two o'clock the beaw.r monde began to file offirom the Boulevards and Chausace d'Antin, and fall into the pro cession to Longchamps. A strong detachment of gem d'artnes, cherul el i pied, formed a line, in open order, from the Tuileries to the entrance of I;ongehamps, to preserve regularity and good order among the numerous vehicles, from the landau and four to the humble one, horse chair, which ctivcred the road ; the right aide of which was preserved for those proceeding to, and the left for those returning from, the Bois de Boulogne, and the centre for the equestrians: from three till five the scene was particularly animated. The beauty of this morning re-announced the spring : the sun rose in all his splendor, and invited hundreds' abroad who had feared to expose their summer dresses to the uncertain weather of intraday, and ,the number of carriages with rich liveries were much more numerous ; the !equestrians were increased in proportion, and the thou ! sands of well-dressed females who occupied the chairs on each side the road, presented ail agreeable coup 1(041 of the richly variegated assemblage, u silks are the mode at this season, and bonnets are of every colour. The day continued remarkably fine, and the C'hamps Elysees at two o':lock resembled an immense fair: round- I labouts, rumble-tumbles, jugglers, Punch and J u dy, an d l!every amusement that " fun and frolic" could in , vent. were displayed along each side of the road : all bore " the outward and visible sign" of gaiety and content. One object particularly excited my astonishnient. W'e have ceased to be surprised at men swallowing knives, forks, swords, &c. but I yesterday saw a man introduce into his body a solid bar of iron, 18 inches long, an inch and half diameter, and weighing 1.51 b.; this phenomenon serves as a siefijeri for the students at r Ecok de Medicine, and other establishments of surgery in Paris. Another in dividual raised the enormous weight of 3'3 fifty pound weights by the strength of his loins. So perfect was the order and regularity pursued by the gens.trarnies and the police throughout both slays, that in a crowd of at least a hundred thousand persons, I have not heard of a single accident, excepting the involuntary dismounting of a gay Cavalier, who wished to figure be fore the belles on a prancing steed, when on a sudden he lost his seat, but escaped without any wound but that which his vanity received from the burets of reiterated laughter which assailed his ears from the convulsed crowd that surrounded him. SATURDAY, FIVE O'CLOOK. The pik•rimage concluded yesterday, hut owing to the rain, which poured in torrents during Thursday night, and the heavy and unwelcome showers of yesterday, there were only a few solitary carriages, whose owners must have conformed with the custom rather as a penance than a pleasure. The beautiful weather on the first day gave promise of enjoyment, which the Iwo next days destroyed ; an event common enough in affairs of more importance than a procession. There was no display of equipages, no blazonry of beauty and fashion, no saunterers—an expres sion, by the way, derived from going a pilgrimage ti /a SANTA Tt.ftßA,Or the Md,/ Land—nothing, in fart, for die lover of merriment and rejoicing to feast upon. All of this class were, of course, put upon short allowance ; I pitied them heartily, for I have a great affection for the whole order. 17 SIIAKSPLAkE cautions usagainst " the man that 111 hath no IIS; in his sail." lam equally on my guard against the man whose soul has no mirth in it ; and I join issue with our immortal Bard in saying," Let no such man be trusted." In toy estimate even of jemak charms, the best beauty of the cheek is a dimple. if the mind sits en throned in a smile, I don't care about the brains ; for the half of mankind, as to the use they make of them, are, for aught I see, as well without them as with them. As to' her roseate tips they are worth noshing till some -old joke shows you her teeth, and'a hearty laugh; has to me more of eloquence and persuasion than all the logic of the schools. Adieu. lam summoned to the Boulevards. In Paris a mail need have all his strength conccntred in his health ; the demaud upon ones idleness and curiosity is perpetual. The Meeting of the three Choirs of Worcester, Mere ford, awl Gloucester, is to be this year at It'orcestcr, un der the (Erection of Mr. Clarke, the organist of that t'a thedral. At a mee:ing of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, held in this city on Tut sday, it was unanimously resolved to apply to Parliament for assistance to build additional churches in this city, and in ether parts of the west of Scotland, and also to extend aid to the support of the Presbyterian church in the West India Colonies. We are glad to we our highly respected clergy of the Established Church taking up this important subject, and for their satisfaction we can state, and from good authority, that in extending the Church Establ:shment in die IV est Indies, though it is ostensibly a Church of England Establishment, yet that it is the in tention of tlovernment, wherever Pres byterian Clergymen may be required by their fellow-countrymen in the West Indies, to sanction and approve of the appointments, and to place them upon an equal footing, in respect to authority and income, as the Ministers of the Church of England. -- C.'a.wutc Curti ier.

A very extraordinary event is this day the subject of general coo versittam ; all the details have not yet reached us in such a manner that we can give them positively, but the fact is too real, and the following particulars may he relied on. Sonic days ago 31. de For. bin, the Director of the Museum, received an anonymous letter front an individual, who said that the government having caused him to sustain a loss of 211,000 francs, he would destroy, one after the other, all the pictures in the Museum, if the sum in question was not brought to him at an appointed place. 51. Franchet, of the police, also received a similar letter; but, thinking it the act of some madman, no importance was attached to it; but the day before yesterday a person tin ployed at the 3luseum ran to the Director of the Police, and Minima him that one of the finest of Ruben' pictures had been torn to pieces. The author of this act has not been discovered. The doors of the 3luseuin were instantly closed, and we understand that a similar precaution his ben adopted at the Luxembourg. It is announced that Lieutenant-General Rivaud de la Raffiniere, having refused the colonnind of the Army of Occupation it is the Viscount Dijeon who will replace 31. Bounnont. It is also said that Gen. Mouton will take the command at Cadiz of the second brigade of the Army of Occupation. General Desperamons has the contu land in 3latind at this moment. General Clouet, who quitted the capital a short time since, is gone to Valencia with his brigade; a battalion of Swiss troops and artillery aregone to Toledo, where his Majesty was to pass the Passion week, and then return to Arintjues. Flee hundred horses are to be sent to Xeres. The hot division of French prisoners passed through Perpignan on the 7.h inst., on their way to Spain.

Hitherto their worship was only tolerated, but (tie conduct of the Catholics has induced the Prince to issue a meat honourable decree in their favour. Ile hopes, he says, that his Catholic subjects will see in this mark of favour, a new reason to distinguish themselves by their religious sentiments and by the practice of every virtue. Other Protestant Princes chew dispositions favourable to the Catholics.' A Catholic church is building at Coburg, and the Catholic parish there will have a resident clergyman. Churches for Catholics are building also at Bremen, at St. Goarahausen (Duchy of Nassau). and at Darmstadt ; the Grand Dukes of !Jesse and Nassau contribute to the expenses of the latter. A Catholic church and school are build ing at Pirna, iii Saxony. The Princess Cunegunda has left 8,000 crowns towards the expense of the latter. At Ilamburgh the he_ ate has just decreed that the Catholics shall henceforward be eli gible to all of as well as the Protestants ; even the offices of Senator and Burgomaster shall be open to them. The city of Frankfort has wade an amicable arrangement with the C'atholies, represented by 3lessre. SCiIOVICT, heathers, who were themselves feenserfy Postestanas. In several places 4 the Consistories i have , adopted some practices of the Roman form of worship. The Gm sistory of Saxe-Ileiningen has just restored the prayer for the dead ; and a general fife will be celcbrated in this view in all the churches in the month of November. In the pein cipal Lutheran church at Berlin, the statues of the Twelve Apostles have been placed, and on the altar is a crucifix with wax tapers, and the book of the liospeL NEW COLOMBIAN LOAN. We are enabled (says the Courier) to lay before our readers the following statement of the terms upon which the New Colombian Loan has born contracted for : The amount of the Loan is 4.750,0001. stock, and it has been contracted between Don M. A. Amibla and Iron Francisco Mon. toija, Agents oldie Republic of Colombia, and the house of B. A. Duldschmidt and Co., in virtue of full powers and of the decree of Congress of the 30th of June glut. A general bond, pledgirg all the revenues of the State, generally, and specifically that of tobacco, will be deposited *lilt these powers in the Bank of England. The interest on the loan is 6 per cent., payable half-yearly in London, without deduction ; the first dividend is payable on the 15th of July next. The whole loan is to be redeemed within 30 years, and a sinking fund is established, of 47,5:104 per annum, to be employed in pur chasing up bonds in the London market. The price at which the Contractors have Issued the stock to the public is 1114 per cent., payable as follows:- 15 per cent, on Wednesday next 10 - May 21 On which • discount of 4 per 10 - - - June 17 cent. per annum will be allowed !lt) . . - July 12) for immediate payment. IU - - Aug. 18 „.„ With interest at 4 per cent. ' I° Se P t * from Jul next. 134 - - Oct. 15 The loan bears a premium in the market of 41 S per cent. The framework-knitters of this town and county are to have a general meeting at the Bowling Green, St. Peter's- Lane, on Monday next. We understand the object of the nieeting is to further a plan which has been some time in contemplation, to raise a fund among the framework-knit ters themselves, to relieve each other when out of employ ment; a procet ding inhich, we are glad to hear, has the approbation of a considerable number of the most respect able hosiers. The system of reducing wages below a cer tain standard on any temporary depression of trade, is an evil alike injurious to master and workman, and is now both felt and acknowledged as :melt by the manufacturers themselves. It is the counteraction of this evil the frame work-knitter 3 have in view, in forming relief societies. It is to enable the workman to say to his employer, when any unreasonable seduction is attempted, " Sir, I respectfully thank you for your employment hitherto, but I cannot affor d to work any longer at the prices you now propcse, and must therefore try elsewhere." And what reasomible ob jection, we would ask, can be made to so fair an answer ? I las not a workman as much right to take his labour to the best market, as the manufacturer has to obtain the best price for his manufactures ?—Leicester Chronicle. LANDLI) 1,. vs STMkNTB.—The great depreciation on the value of money, the reduction of interest to 3} per cent., and the prospect of seeing it reduced to 3 per cent. before the month of May has expired, (and when the 3 per cents. will probably be at par); has at length awakened the atten tion of the thing inn part of the monied interest to invest ments quite as secure as the funds, and with prospective views, much more inviting—we allude to land. It is known that the present average rental throughout the three kingdoms, is not more than half its produce twelve years back—the funds were then at 60 instead of 97. The pre sent price of land averages 30 years purchase, at about per cent., and this income of 4 per cent., it must be re- 1 membered, arises from a diminished rental, which at no distant period may again be doubled, while the speculator in the Funds can hardly expect to see them go beyond par. Investment in land is secure, and at the present rental liable to no diminution ; while the Funds might, even upon a slight report of hostilities, be lessened in 24 hours or 30 per cent. —that upon this principle we account for so many Estates being brought into the market—a fact which may be illustrated by reft rence to the Auctions in our Paper to-day. Added to which, we learn the " Ca versham Park Estate," for which 130,0001. was expected last year, is to be submitted in the month of June to the hest bidder. It is whispered that this Estate will yield i 3 per cent. interest, and that the Mansion alon e cost 130,0001. to Lord Cadogan. Mr. Llsoatox Rowse has) the direction of these Saks. EASTER MONDAY. Yesterday being Easter Monday, the boys educating in Ch r i st ' s Hospital went, according to annual custom, in pp ion t o t h e Royal Exchange, and from thence they p ed, accompanied • by the Lord Mayor and lady AGloms, Alderman Ileygare, the Deputy Recorder, Aldermen Lucas and Crowder with their Ladies, the Chamberlain, Town Clerk, and other Ci , y Ofti • to Christ's Church, Newgate_strect, where the snrsic.: was read by the Rev. Mr. Horne (the Curate), Mr. Crowther tlic Rector) being indisposed. The Spinal Sernton was preached by the Bishop of Exeter, and an Anthem was sung by a select numhsv of the boys. At the conclusion of divine service the company repaired to the Mansion House, where a sumptuous dinner was served up in the Egyptian Hall.

Broadhurst, Pyne, Taylor, and the other professional singers engaged for the occasion. " The King" and " The Duke of York" were then given frees the Chair, and drank with the usual honours._ The Lor11) MAYOR then rose to propose the health of a diens guiahed member of the Royal Family, who had that day faviured them with his attendance. It was the peeuliar happiness or his Royal Highness the Mated Sussex to receive many marks of ne e public esteem, become he mixed much with the people, and thereby gave them an opportunity of becoming acquainted with his excel. lent qualities of heart and mind (Applause). Ills Royal High. nets was also thereby put in powiession of a knowledge of the feeitngs and disposition of the people which he could not Womb, strain. 1 The city of London deeply felt the honour his Royal Highness I conferred upon it by . his attention ; and, however ent, Jhligalle tls cheers of the Meeting might be, on welcoming the toast he (tn. Lord Mayor) was proposing, they could not ex cee d the warmth and sincerity of the public feeling towards the Illustrious It.divi dual who that day graced their festi City with his presence. —({p, plaune.) The toast was received with long-continued cheering. The Duke of Sussux, as soon as the applause had subsided, returned the Meeting his best thanks for the honour they had con ferred upon him in drinking his health, and for the opihiois the Lord Mayor had been kind enough to express, relative to th e on tires of his attachment to the public muse, and particularly to the metropolis. (Cheers.) He could assure the Citizens of London, that on every occasion on which his services should be called for be should be ready to obey their commands. (Cheers.) He had always felt that the interests of the country and those of the throne OM the same; and be was perfectly convinced, that whilst both tie people and the throne continued so to regard them, the country need dread no danger which it could no: overcome without dig culty. (Cheers.) He was always happy when he found himself in the midst of the Citizens of London, to whom he considered himself so much indebted for their haidson,e treatment of him on so many occasions, and to whose exertions in the cause of benevolence a d philanthropy he was proud to bear witness. (Cherry-) His Royal Mightier*, reiterated his expression of thanks, and then resound his seat amidst very general applause. In a few minutes the Duke of Sussex rose again. Harirg ob tained permission from the Lord Mayor to propose a toast, he said it was his intention to propose the health of the present worthy Chief' Magistrate of the City of London. .(Cheers.) In proposing that individual's health the company would allow him to say that he did it with sincere respect for the honesty of principle and con sistency I f conduct which had recommended hint to the esteem and good-will of his fellow-citizens. (Cheers.) Thus elected and ap proved by the Throne, his Royal Highness congratulated the Lord Mayor on the honour reflected upon hint by the situation he filled, and likewise by the attendance of certain individuals belonging to his Majesty's Government, whom he then saw present (cheer.), and who had in that act done themselves and the company grat credit by the manner in which they had come forward to chew their motet for the City of London in the person of its First Magistrate, the object of the free choice of his know-citizens, sanctioned by the solemn approbation of the Throne. (Cheers.) It gave his Royal Highness great satisfaction to see the government join in with the feelings of the people. In the confirmation of the election of the lord Mayor the government had paid a mark of public attention to the sentiments of the city of London, by which they had not less distinguished themselves for the liberality of their coodutt than at the same time they had contributed to manse that authority in other matters powerful and respected. (Cheers.) His Royal Highness concluded with proposing the health of the Lord Mayor of London, with three times three. The toast was welcomed with much cheering. The Loan M Aro a said it was impossible to express himself in any degree suitable to the very high honour that had been conferred upon home Ague humisonte style in which his Royal Highness had proposed his nOtith. anti by the cordial manner in which the toast had been received by the company. If he were then to enter upon a vindication of his past conduct, after having been so long before the public, and received so high a malt of the friendly feeling of his fellow-citizens, he would betray a want of con fi dence in the toli dity of the juslgineut of the public which he did not entertain. Cen sures had been cast upon him, but he had ever considered them as the taxes which every public man was compelled to pay, and how. ever he might have grumbled at taxes of other descriptions, he had always paid them cheerfully. (A laugh.) His Royal Highness had been pleased to allude to the presence of some gentlemen that day holding a large and ostensible share in his Majesty's government ; and they had certainly done great honour on that particular occasion to the City of London, and to themselves ; because in the respect they tied that day ahewn to the Chief Magistrate, they bad MAU. tested at least that they were above all private and personal preju dice, and they had dune all that lay within their power to testify their respect to the City of London. (Cheers.) With regard to him self he had only to any that he felt, as every man must feel, con cesned in the support of his reputation at all periods, but while in that situation he had other and stronger reasons to be careful as to ,his conduct. Having been placed in the civic chair by the free and unanimous suffrages of his fellow-eithens, he was determined that their rights and privileges should suffer no diminution through hint. Ile felt that he was not only responsible for his own conduct, but for those who had placed him thtut. (Cheers.) During the few months he had filled his office, he trusted he had not been found disregardful to his duties; and he I ledged himself, that during the remainder of his term he woad continue to devote los whole time and attention to his magisterial functions, with the strictest impartiality. (Cheers.) His LUrd. ship again thanked the company for the kinduess they had sheen him that day, by their attendance on his invite. ion. The Loan hlsuon soon afterwards addressed the company again. Although he had moved in a much humbler sphere, and generally in opposition to his 31ajestyht alinisters, yet, at the same time, he war al:thins to show that he was as free front all personal prejtulicoi as they who had proved how highly they were raised 1 above such narrow and illiberal feelings.:by their presence there that day. lie therefore proposed the health of the Right Hon. George Canning, and the rest of his 3lajesty'a Ministers. The toast was received with considerable applause. Mr. CAN N t xo said, that the sentiments that bad occasioned his attendance that day had been truly stated by the Lord Mayor: namely, to show, t at in the respect he kit to be due to the City of London, he knew nothing of personal prejudices or party politics as affecting the individual tilling the office of the Chief Magistrate (Cheers.) Ile attended there to take part in celebrating the feast of that great metropolis--great in knowledge, in virtue, and in power, on the invitation of the Lord Mayor, in whom lie (Mr. C.) considered the concentrated dignity of the City of London resided. But if at all times lie felt it equally a duty sad a pleasure to at ttend at the festive meeting% of that great city, there could not be any occasion on which it could be more grateful to his feelings to do so than at the present moment, when, being surrounded by cir cunotances, for which the Government of the country certainly chimed no merit, but fur which at least the were liable to I.J blame, arising mainly from exertions beyond all eta - nolo in which all orders of the people had cordially co-operated, the country was at length exhibiting a restoration of the aimient pall humour and good nature of the English nation (cheese). Ile (31 r. `.) could not omit that opportunity of congratulating the city of London on that general„prosperity, of which lie trusted it had received its sham: and en the general peace and tranquillity of the country, in the preservation of which its magistrates had taken an active and de tailed part ; and he could not conclude without expressing his ear tat hope, that that prosperity might increase, that woe and tranquillity continue, and that the eminence we had earned in the worlu by our exertions, might be perpetuated by our knowing how properly to use the advantages we had gained. (Cheers.) The Right Honourable Gentleman added, that he was commissioned by the Earl of Liverpool to state, that he would have been present that day, if he had not been unavoidably prevented. He would conclude with drinking all their good healtha, and, if they would allow hint, to propose it, " Prosperity to the City of Lynam." (Cheers.) The health, of the Bishops of London and Exeter were then given. - - The Bishop of Lonwon, after returning thanks, proposed the health of the Lady lolayoress. The Loan MAYOR said, that as his Lady was not ranch in the habit of speaking, at least in public, la; begged to return thetas for her. The heslihs of a great number of the distinguished guests were eyed in succession, after which the usual civic toasts followed. --- At ten o'clock the Lord Mayor and company proceeded to the ball.ruom, slime the more juvenile viaiton prolonged the teatimes of the evening until a late hour. A detachment of recruits belongir.g to the 65th (or 2d York North Riding) Regiment of Infantry, embarked on Sunday, from the Leith wharf, on hoard smacks, for the 'purpose of being conveyed to Paisley, where that corps is at present stationed. Another detachment of rrcruits also embarked on Sun day, from the Leith Wharf, on board smacks, in order to be conveyed to Glasgow, where the head-quarters at the 29th (now raising) Regiment of Foot are at present stationed.
