The ottesselaiet multitude dispersed with great notwithetanding the prohibition of the High Constable. and his assistants ottesidseice, by Viscount S dua►uth, we are happy in say, that every Ittione was conducted throoghout the day with perfect order and iserminiy; tier is it possible that such a east ewiesablage of people mold be collect ed together for the saute period with less disposition to, or manifestation of, any thing approaching to confusion or riot. THE DINNER. Ths hoar of dinner was announced to be five &dock, end at that hoar the great stair.ease of the Crown and Anchor Tavern was crowded to excess, and the electors, taming forward to dinner. became at length so numerous and clamorous. that a con siderable degree of confusion arose, which increas ed wood the doors of the great room were thrown open at half-pad six o'clock. Then the greatest inronvrnirnce was felt from the pressure of the crowd, fur it was foonJ that the room bad been in a great pert filled through private moors before the folding-doors were thrown open to the public. The consequence of which was, that the persons unable to obtain seats, many of whom had bean io the profess' during the tiny. mounted on the tables and olemmided an inquiry into the treat ment they haul received. They desired to know why they had been For nearly two hours kept lock d nut on the stair-case. and informed that no person had then eutrred the st g-room. and yet Stbpa the doors wets opened, or rather thrown sips; they found the tables in the great room en tirely filled, and the of r served up. In vain were several efforts made to explain away the n o ph.raraour occurrence. Several Geutlenten said tlw Stewards were not to blame, others re tort.d, and many loudly called for an explanation teom the landlord. Its the midst of these retains and appeals, Sir Francis Burdett entered the room. necironnained by the Hon. Dough- Kinnaird, Mr. Starch, Mr. Bence, Mr. Hubhouse. and a number of pratriofc characters. The entrance of the worthy Baronet, and the sc• companyisog air in full band of 4 , Ns. she Coss gwering Hero cones," created but a momentary effect. and the loudest demands for inquiry were atdl anode by the persons who conceived themselves ill-treated before the alining-room was thrown open. The covers were takers off, and the r e fr es h i n g prospect of ail ample and excellent dinner was tried upon the company who rushed into the room, hut die eff-et of this exhilarating view wis lost upon Vitase whose eyes could merely see the table service, without bei ,, g near enough to indulge their palates wain a snore suirstatittal taste. It was now loom, in vino to Nit down to dinner with any (levee .•f r••mfort. the pressure from dime de prived of .t..tg became so great.

Shortly after this decisive feelitig was found to have taken toot in the room— . 7 _ S r FRANCIS BURDETT, as Chairman. rose, and said. that he tseiderstood some question had Bern put and carried by the Meeting. His object i n ets • ng o w , t o k n ots. as the motion had not been Put through Itim, whet was its real object. He war sorry to understand that a number of worthy Verollemen had been. by some mismanagement, kept most u..oseces.arily on the stair-cur.-- I(ey of 4 ' Rashes say killed, ikon kept.")—He wits extremely sorry to hear that the pressure had been so violent ; but with a view to re move. as much as possible, the past fatigue and inconvenience, a slumber of his friends around him were ready, and he Wessel( in addition, to re. *two their seats duel g dinner time to the gentlemen who lied been less fortunate in procuring accommo dation. litre gladly entreated these gentlemen to accept the offer, and they would in return be ready to accept whatever .accommodation their good friends could afford them when the cloth was re moved. They would for the moment quit the comptity to altad this accommodation. They would eagerly embrace the opportunity of rejoin ing them when every man had partaken of the good droner to which he wss eutitled.—(Applause.)— If they considered for a moment, they must be struck with the fact, that their momentary discos tem arose from the patriotic straggle which every man was snaking to record by his presence the nith of his principles. The only ground of contention seemed to be. that this, the largest room in London, was inadequate to the full recep tion of the true friends of liberty. Did they really expect they could find any room in the me tropolis copulae of emits 000 i o ig them all ?--f Grad applumse.)—Thry had all heard of the good man of old, whose house, though very large, was slid to he inadequate to contain all his visitors... •, U !" s..id the sage, " I know it is too small for them, hut I would gladly hope it is not fully equal for the entire accommodation of my friends." So nu the present occasion. though sorry all his friends could not be acco iiiiii whited in the largest room in the kingdom, lie could not yet forget, that, great as wits thew berm, still greater was their triumph. .--(rlpplarse.) Several Gentlemen here complained of the ob. rune' iiiii s they met with iu endeavouring to obtain suites ice. The CitAtawAm said, tliat he was informed the landlord had issued 100 tickets more thou the room • could possibly elfod ; if it was the iv*sit of the Meeting, the lisodkord should be called op to me. co lor this apparent misconduct. It appearing to be the general wish of the Meet. big that the Landlord should be called up—Mr. (Noy (the Landlord) soon made his appearance, and expressed his regret for what had occurred, and his uniform anxiety to do justice to the public. He said, that much of the inconvenience of delay would have been obviated, if the acting Secretary for the Committee would have - allowed the dieing vonms to have been thrown open before the dinner was laid on the tahles. On every future occasion, he assured them, his arrengemmets should be more decisive, sad better carried. lotto effect, and that in the adjoining mass he motild make every effort to extend that weeesmesslation, which the principal room, during the eieMilleit of dinner, was %taunt'. ninety tumble to iiesslW Appinase, and some dis approialies.) Proper cordiaStAtiat being yet restored, though the adjoining rooms were provided with excellent litho'''. and the stewards anxious to afford every ✓ecomindation; • another appeal to the Meeti n g became absolutely necessary, and Mr. J. W. Hob house was solicited to address the Meeting. which be did iii the happiest. the most eloquent, and-jii diciires manner. -He said.. " Gentlemen, yuar public acts have 'hewn that by yaar union ou great cosseitotional priociplea. your enemies have found rat irresistible; will you allow them this opportu oily •of potting forth, that on trifling points you are eultierahle when surrounded by your friends? It is obvious that a great mistake has 'risen on the present °cession. The landlord has confessed and apologised for his part of the error; I now stand here. on the part of Mr. Percy, to tender his apo logy for whatever branch of the error you may at tribute to him.—(Apphrese.)—Surely you, who were uniformly placable when assailed at all puitit4 during the late momentous contest by your open and undisguised enemies, will tint, on an accidental inconvenience like the present. manifest ass appear ance of dissension (for appearance it can alone be) whets solely surrounded by your friends.

Depend upon it, that though I am the humblest among you, I feel as strongly as the most elevated person present the triumph of principle you hive maintained ; and I should regret as deeply as the most acute mind among you can be susceptible of, that the cele bration of this glorious day should be for a moment tarnished by the feeling which merely arises from a comparatively trifling accident.

This animated appeal produced the desired eff.ct. That part of the company. who were unable to pro.. cure accommodation in the room, now cheerfully retired to adjoining rooms, where excellent dinners were soon provided for them. After which they returned into the great room to partake of the coil viviaility of the Meeting.

(Applawu.)—For himself he had only to say, that he was deeply sensible of the honour so repeatedly assigned to him, of proposing the health of their excellent Representative, Sir Francis Burdett.— He (Mr. Stureh) had invariably been the friend of Reform in Westminster, snd he was mare than amply rewarded for his public services by their ap probation. In return for these marks of applause, he would only say, that great as was his repect for the name of their excellent Representative, for his character, his fortune, his rank in life, his amiable manners, and above all his splendid abilities, yet not all these would command his vote, if, in his heart, he did not believe the worthy Baronet to be the staunch and unalterable Mend to creetloni.

Wesinsinster's Pride and England's Hope" was then drunk with low! acclamations. The band struck up " Mite Britannia" and afterward• " See. the conquering hero comes !" The CHAIRMAN theu rose. but was for a milli derable tune prevented from returning thanks, owing to the loud land continued cheers of the Meeting. He commenced, as soon lei silence could be obtained, by saying. that he felt himself totally unable to return Ms thank. in an adequate manner ' to the inhabitants of this great and enlightened city. for the numerous marks of esteem and regard which they had given him, mid for which he was vain enough (if vanity it could be called) to feel an honest pride.—(Great applanse.)— It was now twenty-three years since he had taken the Chair in that room, at a meeting convened for urging a Reform in Parliament; the same prin ciples which lie had on tlatt occasion distinctly avowed, he had since maintained and end red to enforce, though under those occasional modifi. cations which circumstances required, with a view to the ultimate attainment of substantial benefit; He remembered with gratitude the uniform amok. auce of his worthy friend. Mr. Sturch, in the cause of Reform, and was highly gratified with his good opinion throughout three successive elec. rime , . The first pride of his heart was to receive the honest support of his countrymen for his honest efforts to promote their interests.—( Applause.)— It war said that he had held riff from the friends of liberty with an undue pride, as if he aimed at hold. ing a separate and exclusive influence. This was not the fact, though it was true enough. be had kept aloof from mere party politics. and had avoided pursuing selfish or personal means to attain paltry ends at the expense of the great questions which involved the rights of the people. It was this feeling which prevented his taking the part ' solicited from him in the early part of the last elec. tion--he thought it would have looked like corn muting, for the mere ambition of a seat in Parlia ment, the high ground ou which the question of Reform stood.—(dpplaese.)—He had not shrunk, during fifteen days of a former contest at Middle sex, to add his labours throughout the fifteen nights of these days to promote the cause of Reform. This cause did not now require such exertion—it was well understood, and universally appreciated. Ile had re lied on the soundness of their principles, and they had not deserted him. Mr. Sturch had said, that he (Sir Fiat:cis) was not likely to desert them, but lie had added, that Lord Castlereagh was likely to become their Chatrinsii.—( langh.l—There was nothing impossible, particularly when they re collected that the Noble Lord had commenced his political career in Ireland by a solemn pledge to promote Parliamentary Reforin.—(4 laugh.)— The Noble Lord had, however. allowed his opinioae to suffer a lapse during twenty-five years, but it was a strong indication of the power and growth of Reform, and its strong hold on the public mind, when that Minister felt it necessary to revert to such a topic to ward off the public mind from h s acts, and make this effort to sacrifice any thing but his phice.—(Appluese.)— The worthy Chairman then proceeded to state that hie principles were not shaken, but confirmed by the ' experience of a eerie. of year*. He had originally learned them from the precepts inculcated by the great meta who brought about the Revolution, and from the writings of Machiavel, Milton, Locke, from Camden, Chatham, Saville, Pitt (before be was a Minister), Fox, Sir William Jones, and other great and distinguished men. The worthy Chairman then alluded to the intended ab sence of his late upright and honourable col. league, Lord Cochrane, whose services had made him so justly popular, and whose exertions in another hemisphere would he, he trusted, equally useful and advantageous to the cause of lib. ry. His present colleague (Sir Samuel Roundly) was a man of great ability arid iiitegnty, sod he fondly anticipated that be should find in him a warm and steady supporter of the best interests of the people. The day of Reform had now shed its strong light on the people; when even Lord Castlereagh confessed himself a moderate Reformer, what might they not expect.—(Laughter.)—This reminded him of the master who emoted for some particular purpose to get sit the secrets of Isis servant, and who said to him—" Have I not always been 141 you a moderate , master ?" when the servant replied—" Yes, indeed, you have been moderate enough"—so they would find Lord Cestlereagli's Reform moderate enough. It was, however, as lie had before said, useful to find the word Reform on the Noble Lord's lips. if lie had it not in his heart.—(Applause.)--•But then there was another Gentleman who was most candid in his opposition to every species of Reform—lie meant Mr. Canning, that great commander of words, fur if he were any thing it was that.— This Minister hail been of late greatly preised for his speeches at Liverpool—they were circulated with more than common assiduity through the Go. raiment Prints in the country, and it became ne. \~ 't.ury to select a fro ekiracts from' il.em. 'the worthy Chairman then, at considerable lesigtbonade extracts from Mr. Canning's late 'perches in Li verpool, and was peculiarly happy in detecting the sophistry and exposing the inconsistencies with which they abounded. lie then alluded to the triumph which the Elector. of West.niiister liad obtained during the late contest, and lamented the array which had been brought to bear on the popular in terest, particularly the misapplied influence of Lae dies in such a cause as that to which they had been unguardedly influenced to lend their powerful aid. The worthy Baronet in conclusion, illustrated the growing feeling for Reform, by quoting Milton's tine apostrophe to Liber4 " Methinks I see in RI mind's eye, A great snd pow'rfel nation rousing herself, Like a strung an after sleep," &c. A number of patriotic ►oasts were given in the course of the evening, and several Gentlemen ad dressed their acknowledgments to the Meeting. The company did toot vep4ride until a late hour. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. PARIS PAPERS. PAW!, JULT 10. Lord Wellington had • cosiference yesterday with their Excellencies the Ministers for Foreign MEd's, the Marine, and the Ambassadors of Eukes land, Naples, and Spain. The Journal des illaires, speaking of the ann 7 w versary of the nth or July, thus expresses itself : "Three years have hardly passed since the second return of his Majesty, and France has already esta blished her credit, re-constituted her army, and improved her finances.' Tranquillity is restored to every mind, 'ware is given to consciences, and every where order is established upon respect for ..the laws. Such are the 4eiefits derived at home from a Sovereign who, fgr : Trom presenting himself to his subjects as a seeere judge, has chosen to be their conciliator; and if abroad the French nation resumes its Tank age! ancient consideration, it owes it altogether to the Monarch's wisdom, and to the veneration iiiiipired into all Europe by his eminent qualities. His strength consists in justice, and his policy in rectitude. The virtues of the Prince have been the rampart of the people ; while in their turn the people, repaying love for love, *ill become the rampart of the throne by their most loyal fidelity. " Every thing announces the approaching libe ration of our territory. We shall then have, at the next anniversary. to thank his Majesty for a benefit which will complete all the others." The following is an account of a combat between a man and a sturgeon, in the district of Louvain:— This fish, about tie pounds in weight, and eight feet in ie►►gth, having passed the sluices of Melina and Welchter, was perceiged by a domestic of the ferrymen. On seeing the animal, which, on ac. count of the shallowness of the water, was half uncovered, the man, armed with a pitchfork, flung it at the fish with violence. The sturgeon being wounded, struggled. and succeeded by its efforts in disengaging itself. This contest was renewed three times, but on the third the sturgeon precipitated itself into a gulf. In the mean time the intrepid domestic, seeing his prey escaping, called to his master: the entire village followed him to witness the conflict. The intrepid domestic then plunged after the fish into the gulf, seized ir, and strug gled body to body with the enormous sea monster. The animal finding itself seized, overturned its adversary, and it was for a moment feared that ■ll was over with him, but in • few minutes he spin appeared oil the surface of the water. An old man advised that ropes should be drawn round the body of the animal, which advice was followed with suc cess, and the inhabitunts witnessed with joy the animal drawn to the shore in triumph. . • , • .
