Novembe r ' !en Reol , .nee to a. iesty in thO iseourse at the solemn opening of the present General Cortes of the Kingdom, of making provision for the expense of the War without having recourse to new loans, or to an Increase of taxes, united to the extraordinary sacrifice of their fe;',, ones , made by all classes of the State, in favour of honourt..ble cause which now obliges us to retain our arms. most powerfully excite me to employ my seal in promotiog the receipts of the revenue. and of the ordinary taxes, for the purpose of making , head against the urgent wants that surround us. On examining its state, I with pain observe the disastrous effects produced among the fruitful sources by the contraband favoured by the fatality of the economical laws, as well as by circumstances, and this has induced me to call the attention of your Majesty thereunto, in order to arrest their progress. " Far from me be the idea of obtaining that end by fruitless prohibitions, by dire penalties, by violent judicial proceedings, or by minute formulas, which, without enriching the Treasury or fomenting industry, attack the rights of citizens, and injure that commerce which they ought to protect. The high-minded intelligence of your Majesty and my principles regret such measures, which, if unfortunately they were once considered Worthy of high attention, the knowledge and experience of the present age have condemned to oblivion. " Smuggling is, in my eyes, a crime arising rather from the imperfection of the laws than from the perversity of the human heart. While the interests of the finance attack the individual, the sovereign authority will find itself tricked in the realization of its projects of revenue. The profit of the gain is more more powerful than the force of the laws. A well understood regulation in the prices of the articles over which the public revenue exercises a monopoly, will be capable of stopping those who compete in merchandise with it; and a tariff ar ranged with correct information will also deprive the defrauders of the duties which are demanded in the Custom-houses. This is an undertaking which demands extensive mercantile and reouomic experience, and which, as the meritorious and well informed members of the tariff committee, have it now under their care, I flatter myself will be speedily brought into effect in such a manner as to 'reconcile the interests of cor.v.;inerce with those of the Treasury. " But in the interval which may occur before my hopta on this subject may be realized, shall we permit smuggling to continue without making any attempt to arrest its progress ? If w e could procure a maritime coasting guard_ sufficiently strong to watch and cover our shores, perhaps we should be able to restrain the fraud, without giving trouble to commerce. But, as we are in want of this resourr,e, it strikes me that we may be able to make arrangemer'„ s t o supply that want, by availing ourselves of the co-opera% . ron of the Consuls resident in fo reign countries. " Years have elP.psed since orders were issued that a ll goo d s coming from for e i gn countries to our ports should be accom panied with e'ertificates from our Consuls to authenticate their origin, a 'formality which, if it augmented the emoluments of those, employes, did not produce results favourable to the finane e . " With these results in view, and taking into consideration the conduct observed by other nations, I have thought that the object which I thus propose to myself may be gained by organizing an immediate communication between the finance and those Consuls in such a manner as, without throwing any fresh obstacles in the way of commerce, will serve as a gua rantee to good faith against the artifices of the fraudulent. " My idea, Madam, is first, simply, instead of demanding from the importers the certificates of the Consul, that they shall produce to him a manifest stating the bales, cases, and other things which they propose to take to Spain, to which the Consul shall affix his signature, taking at the same time an account thereof, and returning it afterwards to the intended importer, in order that it may be presented at the proper Cus tom-house ; and, secondly, to require that the Consul shall remit with speed and exactitude notes of those manifests to the administrators of the Custorn-houses and to the Minister of Finance, in order to serve as a proof of whatever may be lawfully admitted—all conformity to the tenour of what is proposed in the P':oject of the Decree, of which I annex a minute, to see it should meet the approbation of your Majesty. " There is ri.o obligation imposed on those who remit these articles to sp.ecify their value, because this proceeding would be troublesome, and because it is very easy for the Consuls to declare ;:c by the quotations from the price lists published on the Foreign Exchange. " By this means we shall put obstacles in the way of fraud, elk! the Government of your Majesty will succeed in obtaining data and information of much more exactness than it now pos sesses, in order to form a commercial statistic, which is so use ful for giving a correct aim to the laws and regulations of finance, and to promote the improvements of national in dustry. " Your Majesty will decide, as always, what is best suited. "JUAN ALVAREZ Y MENDIZABAL. " Madrid, Nov- 28, 1835." "ROYAL DECREE. Boir.g convinced by the reasons which you have mani fested t o me t h at t h e progress of smuggling by the sea fron tiers will, without throwing any difficulties in the way of corn- Mrcree, which it is my desire to protect, be restrained by sub lecting to simple regulations the expedition of the certificates of the origin of foreign articles on their introduction into the Peninsula, which are issued by the Consuls of Spain resident in foreign countries, and agreeing with what you have in this respect proposed to me, I have resolved, in the name of my august daughter, the Queen Isabel H., to decree as follows : " All foreign goods and articles which are brought into the Custom -houses, on the coast of the sea of the Peninsula and the adjacent islands shall be required to come accompanied with a manifesto. "2. In these special manifestos shall be expressed the mark and number of each bale or parcel, specifying in letters, and not in figures, the quantity, quality, or weight of the Merchan dise or effects contained in each of them. •••• ••••• Y.. 4 •.4 4.11, "3. Those who remit those articles—the brokers or ship- Pers—shall present the said manifestoes to the Consuls or Vice -Consuls of Her Majesty in foreign countries, who are to examine them, and to affix at the bottom thereof their certi ficates of having done so. "4. The Consuls or Vice-Consuls shall form a general statement of all the particular manifestoes which they shall have certified as belonging to the cargo of each vessel, and having closed and sealed them, shall remit them by the hands of the captain of the said vessel to the administrator of the Custom-house of the port to which the ship is bound. " 5. If the captain of a ship which sails for a Spanish port shall, either of his own accord, or from force, enter a foreign port and sell part of his cargo, he shall present a manifest or deelaraticin of the part which he shall have discharged to the Consul, who shall give him a certificate thereof. In the same 'tanner when a ship shall go to complete her cargo in any forei gn port, those w h o p u t s goo d s on b oar d, me, the captain, s hall perform the same duty with the Consul as he had done in the port from which he had first sailed. "6. When a ship shall not have completed discharging her goods in a Spanish port, being required to convey part thereof to another Spanish port, the administrator of the Custom- Louse, shall facilitate for the captain documents to prove what has been discharged. " 7. All bales, cases, and whatever may be found in the "'Ps not included in the statement of the Consul, shall be eonfiscated. " 8. When there shall be wanting any bales or part thereof, as comprised in the statement of the Consul, the penalty shall be imposed which is marked down in the existing regu lations, and which shall be carried into effect until after the refor m of the penal law, on which a special commission is now engaged. " 9. The Consuls or Vice-Consuls shall remit monthly to the Consul-General under whose superintendence they are, and where there is none direct to the Minister, a statement of. the - manifests which they shall have certified during that pe riod. In o4ter that the Consuls, or Vice- Consuls, may be certain that the ships do not convey more cargo than was stated before them, they will consult the lists and commeicial Papers published in the ports of their residence, and make o n their Contents appropriate observations and comparisons, in order that all may punctually reach the knowledge of the Go vernment. " 10. The Consuls-General shall form a statement of all the particular statements which shall have been remitted to t hem by the Consuls and Vice-Consuls under their superin tendence, and shall address them with all possible speed to the Government. " 11. The Consuls -General shall draw up ry six months a resume of the monthly statements, and shall also remit them to the Government ; that of the last six months of the year shall Comprise that of the preceding half-year. " 12. In the monthly statements which the Consuls shall remit of the entry and departure of ships belonging to the e..ernmere'd.of Spain, they s h a ll no t f orget to g i ve an account o f Those that have started in ballast fn. the Peninsula. " 13. The Consul or Vice-Consul shall receive one dollar '°r each certificate which he may issue. " 14. At the end of each year the Consuls are to send a Memorial to the Government, and which is to contain not only e statement of the actual commerce of the ports under their ;, su perintendence in Spain, but also such observations as may ap ' Pear to them conducive towards encouraging it. " 15. These regulations shall also have their due effect in _ Pe speet to all ships sailing From ports situated withi n th e Penin sula, and from the adjacent ones, from Bayonne to Marseilles I nclusiv e , and from P ort V en d res , an d as f ar as M arse i lles also i nelusiVe, one month after the publication of this order ; for all ship s com i ng from the other ports of France and Italy six necks after its publiv.;tion ; for all ships coming from England th;vo months ,• for all other ports of Europe ten weeks ; and for ose from America fcurmonths.

This is the object to which this respectful address is directed, and the plan which now, and without prejudice to the introduction of the ameliorations which experience may recommend, I offer, as follows, to your Majesty, from a sincere desire of performing,the duties of the Ministry of Marine, with which your Majesty has honoured me ad interim, and of ad vancing the glory rind prosperity of my native country. " The whole of the Royal fleet requires a complete rcorga , nitstion in the personal, the material, and administrative parts. It is necessary to re-establish it perfect according the last improvements ; the scientific:education, now most sadly neglected, of the youths who dedicate themselves to that glorious career ; to attend with the utmost care to the subsis tence, to the stimulus, and to the recompense and advance ment of all who serve therein ; to take care of the welfare of those who either from their years or their ailments are not fitted for service; to establish an asylum for the invalids who in the navy have contracted an honourable inutility. - It is re quisite that our ships of war should equal in construction, equipment, and armament those of the most advanced nations, and for this purpose it is proper to anticipate, at an oppor tune etaton, the dispositions and expenses requisite for future costs and disasters. But, above all, it is. indispensable to sim.. plify the administration, and to distribute the sums designed by the Cortex to the distinct-branches of the navy, with the strictest and moat rigorous separation of the personal and ma terial part of the service, in order to remove perfectly the con fusion and vexation with which the preservation of the one part is attended to, to the detriment and ruin of the other. " Being convinced how much it conduces to save time and expense, and at the same time to forward a good method and facilitate administration, to draw to a centre of unity all the operations of governing this branch, I believe it to be my duty to present to your Majesty a new scheme of a secretary's office for doing business, in which, notwithstanding the :n -crease of the number of individuals, will be effected by the sup pression of the superior board of the navy pay-office, and some other offices, a considerable saving in the expenses, and in my judgment a manifest advantage to the service. " Your Majesty, by benignly taking these ideas into consi deration, and by sanctioning the annexed project of a decree, or by reforming it in your high wisdom, will obtain another weed, for posterity, among the other titles of glory with which your august name will be environed, will also prize the name of ' Itestoress of the Spanish Navy,' &c. " JUAN ALVAREZ Y MENDIZABAL. " Prado, Nov. 28, 1835." Then follows the Royal Decree, whereby the Supreme Board of Government of the Navy is suppressed, as well as several other offices ; and the Navy-office is composed of a sub -secretary, four chiefs of the sections, and five chief clerks, in the following order :—The sub-secretary is to have one chief clerk, with other subordinate ones for the centralization of business ; and the four chiefs of the sections, with each a chief clerk and some inferior ones, are to preside over the following departments The personal branch ; 2d, The facultative and scientific branches ; 3d, The material part ; and, 4th, All that part which comprises the accounts. The chiefs of the four sections are to form a body, called the Coun cil of the Navy, which is to meet every day for at least two hours, and to perform the duties of the suppressed Board. ' The Gazette of Monday, the 30th, contains a long article laudatory of the numerous donations offered by the Spanish people on the altar of their country, and a short paragraph, of which the following is a translation : " All the rumours that have been current respecting the triumphs gained by the rebels are false, absurd, and prepared by malevolence. Despatches have been received from the army, in which nothing new has occurred ; it observes from its posts the movements of the enemy, and it is prepared, as it has done on various occasions, to profit of the opportunities that may offer. Among the rebels there is a scarcity of money and clothing, and the desertion to our camp continues of its troops, particularly of the infantry." WEST INDIA LOAN. MONEY MARKET, FRIDAY EVENING. It is said, and we have no doubt that the fact is so, that the West Ihdian Loan, with the exception of between 700,000/. and 800,0001., is now paid up, while, at the same time, the amount paid away upon the determined claims cannot at the most be 4,000,0001. The situation, then, of the Government as resulting from that transaction is, that we have in hand 10,000,0001. of borrowed money, on which interest has ac crued, and is accruing, for which no immediate use presents itself, and which is consequently a dead weight on the re sources of the country. According to the current expectation, it will be two years and more before the whole is called for. It is impossible to form any judgment at present of the loss the country will have to sustain from this operation, the most ill-advised, perhaps, in all its bearings, that ever was entered into ; but the day of reckoning must come hereafter, and it is highly important, mean time, that the subject should not be lost sight of. Its effect on the circulation and on the monetary interest, which is another very important feature of the transaction, may be tolerably well com prehended now without waiting for further develope ment. It is next to a miracle that the country escaped a panic through it, but means were providentially found, as the temp tation to pay up the loan in full drew the Bank notes out of the market, to have a great part of them re-issued, by a series of factitious operations, by loans and accommodation of various kinds, and the storm at last was safely weathered. The Bank was the only gainer, as all these causes tended to advance the rate of interest, and the Directors gathered in, in point of fact, a magnificent harvest for their proprietors at the expense of the Government and the monied interest generally. The only way in which this state of things can be turned to any account by the Chancellor of the Exchequer will be, to obtain from the Bank a set-off, in some way or other, for the large Government balances necessarily kept on hand. In a direct way, it is of course impossible that an appropriation of money, like the slave compensation fund, can be interfered with for a different pur pose, such as that, for example, of the payment of the divi dends ; but it may perhaps be demanded of the Bank with per fect fairness and propriety, that, having these large balances in hand, they should make their usual advances for the pay. ment of the dividends without charging any interest for them. By such an expedient as this, perhaps some small portion of the national losss may be covered, and we suggest this ac cordingly to Mr. Spring Rice, who, having got into a dif ficulty by the false step he made at the beginning, must naturally be desirous to extract all the good out of it that yet remains to him and to the country. The notion, to which we adverted some time back, that no sufficient powers were vested by the act in the Accountant- General to pay the claimants under the disputed claims, on its being determined which party was entitled to the money, turns out to be a mistaken one. That functionary is not empowered to sell the stock invested in his name and pay the claimants in money, but he may, which answers the same purpose, transfer an equivalent amount of stock, at the market price of the day, into the names of the claimants, and in that manner claims to some extent have, it is said, been recently settled. —Times. Lord John Russell has arrived at Woburii Abbey, Bedfordshire, from Oakley-house, the residence of the Marquis of Tavistock. Mr. Hawes, M.P., and a deputation of between twenty and thirty of the soap-mannfacturcra of London, Bristol, and Carlisle, had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Rxchequcr and Sir Francis Hastings Doyle, Bart-, Chairman of the Commissions of Excise, in Downing -street. _ _ Lord - Brougham left Berkeley-square yesterday for his favourite villa at Petersham, where he enjoys retirement uninterrupted by those. obtrusions to which he is subject when in town. That admirable fiction, " The Disowned," in the cheap re-issue of Colburn's Novelists, is enjoying the same popular career as " Pelham." We never knew any young persons who did not delight in this work of Mr. Bulwer's ; it gives them back all their better impulses and higher as pirations with a " divine shape." This power of exciting the enthusiasm of the young is the first stepping-stone to an author's fame. Perhaps characters were never more finely analysed than in " The Disowned." The vanity of Talbot—the fierce partisan spirit of Wolfe—the mean, fraudulent, and weakly-cunning of Cranford, are drawn with a master's hand. The love-letters, too, are exquisite, tender, simple, and impassioned. Another grace is con ferred on this production by the delicious touches of descrip tion that lie scattered through the pages. Most attrac tively embellished, elegantly printed, and bound in morocco cloth, another of the best fictions of modern times will now be presented to the public for a few shillings, published in the first instance at a guinea and a-half. - ALARMING FlRE.—About four o'clock this morn ing, a fire broke out in the shop of Mr. King, dyer, Essex street, Strand. It was fortunately discovered by the policeman, F, 144, while still pent up within, and he very pro perly instantly sent off a cab to the Farringdon station, whence all the engines, as also from Watling-street, were directly sent. The fire had by this time assumed an alarm ing appearance, and great exertions were requisite to stop it from ascending upwards, which happily succeeded. The stock and furniture of the back parlour are destroyed, and the building much damaged. Mr. - Braidwood, the super intendent of the Establishment engines, was himself pre= sent, and rewarded the policeman with 10s. for his judicious conduct, to which the safety of vast property and severQl lives may probably be attributable. 'File building is en sured in the Globe, and stock in the Hand-in-Hand. The trade of Paisley still continues in a very favour able state; particularly in the licaq covered shawls, the staple branch of manufacture.

Qn Tuesday the dinner, which has been a short time in pre p a ration, in aid or Cue funds for the relief of the dis tressed Poles, and in approbation of the struggles of Polish indepen.dencei took place at the Assembly Rooms, in -z4 c <i-1 - 4-tiftwt, Notwithstanding the very unfavourable the attendance was very considerable, state of the weat2, -1- respecta bl e . The list and the company was exceeumg. "-ors and of a of Stewards contained -the names of several „ number of Baronets, and of others of station and influence. The chair was filled by the Earl of Brcadalbane ; and, among others, the following distinguished personages were present, viz.—Prinee'Czartoryski, Count Zamoyski, Count Zaluski, the Lord Provost, Lord Dudley Stewart, Lord Belhaven, the Lord Advocate, the Solicitor-General for Scotland, the Earl of Buchan, Sir James Gibson Craig, Sir Wm. Hamilton, Mr. Ferguson, M.P., the Provost of Leith, Marshal Gordon, Sir George Warrender, M. Beau mont, M.P., Sir Thomas Dick Lauder, Sir David Erskine, Mr. W. D. Gillon, M.P., Mr. P. M. Stewart, M. P., Dr. Brown, &c., &c. On the cloth being removed, Non ?tobis Donzine was sung by the professional gentlemen present I and at this period of the evening a number of ladies entered afihid loud cheering, and took their scats in the space set apart tot them. The Noble CHAIRMAN then rose and called on the com pany to fill a bumper, as the toast which he had to pro pose was one first meeting their attention. It was the health of the King—(Loud cheers)—aad he felt gratified in saying that the cause which had assembled them toge ther was one in which his Majesty took a deep interest, and in the Royal Speech in the last Session of Parliament his Majesty almost expressly alluded to the grant which had been made to relieve the sufferings of the Poles.— (Cheers.) He might state the grant was directly referred to, and it was therefore not incorrect to say that they were this night assembled together with his Majesty's approba tion. He would, therefore, give the health of the Kings —(Drunk with three times three, and great cheering.) The next toast was, " The Queen." _ _ The CHAIRMAN—I have now to propose the health of the Princess Victoria.—(Great cheering.) The Princess is the hope of the British empire, and. her prosperity and happiness must be dear, therefore, to all our hearts.— (Cheers.) With tho, health of the Princess we will join in the toast all the other branches of the Royal Family.— (Three times three, and great cheering.) " The Army and Navy," and three times three. The CHAIRMAN a g ain rose amid loud cheering, and said, they were met that evening to Odom a [Feat, he might say a sacred duty—(Loud cheers) —to efitiee their sym pathy for the sufferings of a brave and gallant people ,, es (Cheers)—for the natives of a country who were unfor tunately now removed far from it, and who had been com pelled to abandon it because they loved it too well.— (Cheers.) After alluding to the abandonment of Poland during her-late struggle, the Noble Lord proceeded to say, that it was for the best interests of Europe that the inde pendence of Poland should he established, and particularly was it for the best interests of this country and of France —(Cheers)—and especially, he maintained, as regarded this country. They had been for a few years past much ' engaged with their own internal concerns, and perhaps they had not paid that attention to events which occurred at tl distance which they merited, and which their importance demanded. The. policy to be observed by this country was to avoid a war except when the paramount interest!' of humanity and of liberty called on us to interfere.—(Loud ' cheers.) But there must be great exceptions, confident as he was- that were they not to give the support of this • country. to the struggles for liberty abroad, it would lore much of that influence which it was their interest always to maintain.-4 Cheers.) If there was any thing more than another Which this country was called upon to sup port, it was the caus'e of Poland—(Great cheering)—and he hoped that ere loth; the energies of this great nation would be deVoted to so noble a purpose.—(Loud checritig,) Too long had they allowed Poland to be oppressed under the tyranny of Russia. It had been. at first deprived of its rights as an independent nation by the infarnous partition. Under the pretext of mediation, Russia introduce 4 her Cossacks—under the plea of amity and of benefiting Pc land. But her object was to gratify her ambition, and she grasped at her territories, while Austria shared in the un holy spoil.—(Cheers.) The people of Poland have endea voured to shake off the yoke, and they have displayed pa triotism unparalleled, he might say, in the history of the world. But the odds were heavy against them. The power of Russia and of other nations they could not make head against, and their oppressors have as yet maintained their mastery. At one time it was supposed that the Emperor Alexander would have adopted a kind and conciliatory po licy towards Poland and their illustrious guest on his right, Prince Czartoryski.—(Cheering for some minutes.) You did well, gentlemen, said the Noble Chairman, to express your feelings when I am about to mention the name of Csar toryski—(Cheering)--for it is a name dear to Poland, and dearly cherished in that country.—(Cheering.) Your illus trious guest used all the influence he possessed to induce Alexander to adopt kind policy towards his country, but in vain have - all these efforts been made. At another time the hopes of Poland were raised, but in vain did the Poles show their bravery and-- their valour in the armies of France, for wherever they have appeared, their bravery has been con spicuous in the field.—(Great cheering.) At the end of the bloody war, which so long devastated Europe, this country endeavoured to obtain terms for Poland, and sought to replace her name in the history of nations, and I - con gratulate you, gentlemen, that .this country did adopt that policy ; and it is creditable to the Statesman who re presented us on that occasion—a Statesman not remarkable for his attachment to liberty, Lord Castlereagh—that he adopted such a course for the benefit of Poland. That Noble Lord and Prince Talleyrand did their utmost to re place Poland in her rights ; but the ambition of Prusiaa and of Russia could not be overcome, and the return of Napoleon from Elba was, along with other things, preju dicial to her regeneration. All that could be obtained was the concession made by Alexander which gave nation .ality to Poland, Polish language, a Polish army, &e. For some time this arrangement was of avail to Poland, and I believe to the party subject to Prussia and • Austria, that national institutions were guaranteed. But the nationality which has never left the Poles was all that remained to them.- They saw that those conditions, guaranteeing their rights, were never fulfilled to them, and under. the .'Grand Duke Constantine they were exposed to a series of aggres sions 'which led them to hope only by resisting them. The success of the French nation in resisting an unconstitu tional act gave them fresh hope. The success against tyranny had its effect upon Europe. It had its effect upon Poland, and it shook off the tyranny of Constantine. — (Loud cheers.) In a struggle, remarkable for the courage of the Poles, and deVotion to their countryin a struggle with a Power so far their superior in all the resources of war, and in organization, they gave proofs of their devoted ness to liberty, and of their determination to fight to the last for the independence of their native land. But they were overpowered by numbers—they were overcome - at length,. when the Russian eagle was humbled to the (lust.— (Loud cheering.) And what has been the result of the contest ? What did they experience when they were ob liged to .submit to superior numbers? Did the conqueror show that magnanimity which should characterize a great country ? I mean only a great territory, for great in any other sense of the word they could not be called. Did the ,Poles experience this clemency ? • No ; but a series of op pressions and of cruelties' have been committed upon them scarcely to be paralleled in history, which should excite the contempt and disgust of every nation in Europe.—(Loud cheering.) And yet, Gentlemen, we have looked on, I may say, almost culpably looked on, while these atrocities have been perpetrated, and while the brave people of Poland were making so heroic an effort for their deliverance. But I almost trust that Europe will soon ,see that a different species of conduct must be exercised, and that a policy, founded on the independence of Poland, will be the best to restrain that grasping tyranny to which Europe is subjected. —(Cheers.) The independence of Poland is the safest policy for this country to pursue.—(Cheers.) We should, then have a great country, able -to resist the encroachments of Russian ambition, and aide to keep her back within her national boun daries, and to prevent her from menacing the rightS and liber ties of other nations.—(Cheers.) I trust, gentlemen, that this feeling will soon animate all the countries of Euroae. That they will see they have too long looked on with indifference, and that they will act for the future upon wiser views aS re gards themselves, and more just and generous as regards Poland.---(Loud cheers.) For experience has told us that the policy of Russia is invariably constant in its object of grasping on all sides at power.—(Cheers.) I remember having heard of a Highland chieftain (he was - an .ancestor of my own) who built his castle on the very verge o f hi s ter ritory, and when he was asked why he had done so, lie said he wanted to push forward—(Great laughter)—which s i mp l y meant, he purposed to get as touch as he could of the pro perty •of his neighbour.—(Renewed laughter.) This has been the conduct of Russia, and on all sides ; by land and by sea Russia has gone on with her encroachments, and it is impossible that the liberty of nations can be safe if these encroachments are much longer submitted to.— (Great cheering.) Looking at the sufferings which Po land has endured, and having directed your attention to the grasping policy which Russia has adopted, and by which she endangers the liberties of other nations of Europe, 1 come now to what is the immediate subject of our toast ; and if you think, with me, that the independence of Poland ought to be established, to vindicate the sacred rights of nations—the sacred treaties which have been guaranteed by this country, but which have beat shamefully broken and set at nought—if you think with me 'tliat the indepene denee of Poland ought to be established, to check the do minion Whi c h R uss i a ' a i ms a t, I b eg ofyou to. join with rue in pledging a bumper ,to the cause of POla'nd. Drnek with immense a2plausc, the company cheering enthusias tically amid the waving of handkerchief': . _ Prince CZARTORYSKI then rose, and was received with cheering, which continued for some minutes. At length, silence being obtained, he said he rose to thank them for the toast which they had drank. He thanked them for the manner in which they had given the cause of Po land, and he felt here (laying •his hand upon his heart, deeply affected) that the cause of Polish independence was not yet lost. (Great cheering.) The eloquent speech of their Noble Chairman—as eloquent in speech was eloquent L in heart and received as it was as : with suc h pr u- r eibetic applause—could not leave any doubt of the meaning of tfie toast, They had drank to the in , dependence of Polar:) ; sacred indeed to every Polish heart, and the expression of feeling v; - :_s 1 1 be heard in all countries, and responded to, he hoped, as it hat; here.--(Loud cheers.) Poles have met in all parts of Great .aritaio with a kind reception wherever they have appeared, and innei, sympathy ; and nowhere have they been receiVed with more cordial and kind feeling than in Scotland, who, enjoying all the blessings. of liberty, has not forgotten the difficulties her sons bad to encounter in securing those advantages, and she can estimate what Poland has suffered in the struggles she has made to regain •her freedom.—(Cheers.) When they are telling their history to their children, and impres sing on their young hearts the sufferings of their own pa triots, they should Bear also of the wrongs and sufferings of Poland.—(Cheers.) Scotland is an educated and en lightened nation, and is always inclined to pay the more at tention to the justice of the claims of others to national in dependence. The sympathy the people had shown was not forgotten here—(laying his hand on his heart). He wished to give expression to his feelings, but he could not tell them how lie felt for their sympathy with a people who had struggled against so many difficulties in the cause of freedom,—(Great cheering.) The conviction had been expressed that Poland would soon rise again to as sert her rights—and certainly she shall not be disin clined to do so when the opportunity shall occur.—(Long continued cheering.) For the first time the Poles have redskin to be thankful to their oppressor.—(Cheers.) He has acknOttledged that the Poles would never submit to tyranny—( Hear, hear, and great cheers)—that they never would submit to his will. He has acknowledged that cor . reptien was employed to induce them to depart from their duty to their country, their national rights, and their cha racter—(Cheers)—and his opinion was,_ that they never would submit e .so long as they had existence.—(Cheers.) They were now informed that the Russians did not peace ably govern the land, but that they were encompassed with all the .Ministers-of War—with a new-built garrison, and cannons pointing upon the city ; but when these cannons come to fire their balls upon the city they will not intimi date the inhabitants, whom they have been destined by the tyrant to. destroy—(lmmense cheering)—they will be met by eager and intrepid courage, and even regarded as a signal to the inhabitants to rtspi to arms—a signal of preparation and of pain, but one which is more deplorable when used against the unarmed; than ageinst men ready and eager for the combat, and resolved to achieve the liberties of their country, or perish in the attempt.—(Cheers.) But the Poles would not waste their strength in useless and unavail ing bursts of action. They will wait their time, and when that time comes, they will show themselves more than evce actuated by a love of liberty and of country.—(Cheers.) He wds sure that Poland would do her duty, whatever might be the event. Obe would wait with silence, and with constant patience, and though years ,of daily humiliation, and tor ment, and affliction might come over her, when the day of action arrived she would show herself equally active, brave, and deroted . .---(Tremendous cheers.) Now I have to pro pose to you a toast connected with the cause of Poland ; of one who was the friend of Poles when they had been driven from their homes by the cruelty and the tyranny of their oppressors ; a nobleman who has a right to be at the head of the friends of Poland, because he had been most zealous and persevering in his actions in her behalf. He (Prince C.) would speak of the character of that Nobleman. He was a true Scotchman, and possessed all the noble qua lities and feelings which in a high degree were ornaments of that country,--4Loud continued cheers.) Family for tune had no influence upon him. If, therefore, to attempt 46 attract his attention they must speak to him of virtue and justicdee-(Cheers.) Poland owed him a debt of gra titude, for he !2a(l etood by her fortune in the day of her darkness and adversity.---(Loud cheers.) After a few more remarks, the Prince Sessucluded by giving—" Lord Dudley C. Stuart, and the Friends f Poland." Drank with three times three and louCi. cheering. Lord DUDLEY STUART then rose, and was warmly. received. He - said if he were possessed of eloque7nn the most powerful that ever flowed from the lips of the moss It' nished orator, he should stand is need of it all to express to them the feelings with which his heart was full. - If he had done anything to deserve such an honour, the high—the graceful—the beautiful encomiums, which :had been paid him by his illustrious friend—if he would permit him to use that word—was ample, and far more .than ample, reward. — (Loud cheers.) I can only claim the credit of feeling deeply for the heroic nation—for having exerted myself to the utmost of my poor abilities on behalf of Poland—feel ing, as I did, that Providence would never permit the de struction of a nation.--(Great cheers.) He wished that the cause of Poland had not been identified with the toast of so humble an individual as himself,-but he knew that it was taken up by men of high distinction throughout the country, and some of whom were now present ; but he • wished that it were taken up not only by those be alluded to, but by those who occupied high statiorte and of command ing abilities ;- and he believed it would be so taken up, and with that zeal which they had seen so often displayed—he • meant by the Government of the country.—(Great cheer. ing.) He could not sufficiently express himself for the ho nour they had done him this day of his health having been proposed by so illustrious a man as Prince Czartoryski, and of its having been received with so much enthusiasm. — (Cheers) The Noble Lord, after expressing his attachment to Scotland, amtinned to say how he had been delighted to see a cause so dear to his heart cherished as it bad been that evening, and his Illustrious rriend so received as lie had been amongst them. The object of the meeting this day was not to make speeches, but to make a great demonstration in favour of Poland—(Great cheering)— with the benevolent object of realizing the hopes of the heroic country—(Cheers)—and express their detestation of that op pression which that country is still subjected to,—( Cheers.) But sympathy has long been felt in Britain, and also over Scot land, m the cause of Poland.—( Cheers.) By public subscrip tion, and by appeals to the public, somethinz has been done to alleviate the distresses of the brave Poles, and this feeling has been general over Great Britain and over Ireland.—(Cheers.) But never did it rise to such a pitch as now.—(Great cheers.) They have formerly had great success, but not so great as now, when we have got as an ally even Nicholas himself—the Em peror Nicholas, who has uttered such a brutal tirade against the Poles, that it has raised the whole civilized world against him.—(Great cheers.) Nicholas found out that the Poles never would submit except to brute force. That was a testimony calculated to sink deep into the hearts of nations and of rulers. —(Great cheers.) No longer will it be possible for any par tisan of Russia to state that there is anything but unconquera ble restlessness in Poland. Joined with the means of other nations Russia put her down. Poland is prostrate, but she will rise as bright as chr. Poland fought her enemy single-handed, and be it remembered that Russia could go into other territo ries and recruit against the conflict. But still Poland was very nearly being successful ; and in my conscience I do be lieve that the Government of this country could have turned it by a stroke of the pen. After continuing at some length, the Noble Lord concluded by giving as a toast ;—‘6 The gal lant Poles who in exile and privation keep alive the national esteem of their country."—Drunk with great applause—three times three. Count ZAMOYSKI said it devolved upon him to return thanks for the high honour that had been done to the Polish 'exiles. He felt it difficult tndischarge this duty in the manner in which it ought, to be done, not only because he spoke a foreign language, but also becatise he . never had had occasion to speak in public. He had but one duty to perform when in his native land, and that was the service to which he had devoted himself—the service of his country, and that service did rot call upon him to speak in public.— (Cheering.). The meetings which he bed had in Poland were other than meetings where speeches were delivered.— ( Continued cheering.) The Noble Lord in chair he was bapprto call his friend ; for ever since he came to England he.(Count Zamoyski) had uniformly experienced his friend ship.---( Cheering.) He seemed to understand the feelings and sentiments'of the Polish exiles. He understood also their cause, and felt its sacredness as well as the Poles themselves did ; and so clearly had he pourtraycd every thing regarding Poland and her sons, that he had left rot one word of any interest for another to enlarge on. (Cheering.) He had spoken of the emigration of the Poles, of their exile, their banishment, and their sufferings, in a manner that said much for the patriotism and liberality of his sentiments, and the geodness of his heart.--( Cheers.) To him, he (Count 'Z.) owed much of the reception he bad met with in this country, and to him' he owed the reception with which the toast bad been received. lie (Count Z.) did not certainly flee from his country from fear of ,danger, or from views of personal safety. Many :were the emigrants devoted to their country who had returned to it, even tvhen they knew that there was every chance that they would be under the yoke of the oppres sor. The sentiment which the Poles had at home was the same which their fellow-countrymen had here, who enjoyed the blessing of speaking aloud what they thought or felt (Cheers.) lie, with his brethren, had left thew country be cause they could do no more for her : they had, come to -co reign countries for the purpose of claiming the assistance of every humane and just man in these countries, and the (3o vernment of these countries. Their first object was to im press upon the liberal World that they steed in need of as sistance. The Poles had received sympathy and support wherever they had sojourned in this countrv—(Cheering)— which had rendered their privations, their sufferingS, - more supportable than they, could otherwise be.-- . --(Cuntinued cheering.) There was one difficulty they had t o e ncounter, and that was, not knowing well what to do with themselves. Petv:pf Oleo bad the - happiness of knowing• how to'AclvArice the'business which they eagerly sought to advouce—tostir up friends to espouse the cause of Poland. This business of their emigration but a few could well perform, from the want of sufficient knowledge in a foreign language, and from this Want many were kept with their hands tied down, and grievous it was to such that they were thus deprived of doing something, Whatever that might be, to advance in , public esti mation their tountry's cause.—( Great applause.) It was a very difficult thing for men who had sufferings to remain in quietude. Men were not always able to keep moderation under suffering, which was the real attribute of strength.. The Poles had sometimes been accused of being troublesome fellows.—(Cheers and laughter.) They had been called im patient, and he did not know how many names more ; but misfortune was not only a teacher, but a counsellor for man. —(Cheering.) They sincerely trusted that their time had not been lost. Every day they saw, with increasing satisfaction, that the knowledge of their rights, and of their ITTOI: L ITS too, was gaining ground in many foreign countries ; and they con ceived that they wanted nothing else to gain abundance of friends to their cause • but to be well known.— (Immense sheering.) They thought that every thing that had failed to be done, in favour of their cause, had been neglected for no other reason than want of knowledge of the real state of their country.--(Cheering.) They felt that they wanted nothing but an ineestigan into 1116 e just cause, if now it required much investigation, se ga in she interest of every man who had a spark of justice and humanity in his breast.—(Cheers.) It was thought, because the Pokes were troublesome fellows, and were Jacobites, that it was necessary. for the tranquillity of Europe, that Poland should be sacrifices : but this was not the opinion of the learned and enlightened me' of this country— it was not the opinion of Edmund Burke, „l'in was not , ho (Count Z.) thought, a Jacobite.—( Cheers.) 13ut to keep Europe tranquil it was thought that Poland should Le sacri ficed. And to obtain this 50,000 on the one side, and 100,000 on the other, lay on the ground—this was the effect of painful intervention. Many years had passed, and they had met with no assistance, but sympathy. Everything was death to them if they had not the hope of returning to their native country, and he trusted that that day was not far distant.—(lmmense cheering.) He begged again to return thanks for the honour that had been done to the Polish exiles, who never could forget the national existence of Poland. Count Zamoyski then sat down amidst tremendous cheering. The Right Hon. ete Lone ADVOCATE said—l wish I could express the feelings whieh I am sure are common to all who are here assembled—the feelings of respect, of regard—l may say of veneration—to the dl.stinguished individual whom we have heard this day, Prince Czai:+oryski, and who has honoured 'us with his presence.—(Loud and Nig continued applause.) I am sure, if I could express those fienlinnss, the impression that has been made on every person present would be much more than I have stated. From his own lips we have awe tained the great command that he has of our language.- (Cheering)—which very few foreigners arc able to gain ; and still more must we be impressed with those sentiments of vir tue and of patriotism with which he is so richly embucd.— (Loud cheering.) It is an honour to our country to have such an individual amongst us, who on all the various stages through which he has passed in his chequered life, has never swerved from the path of virtue and patriotism—(cheering)—whom no allurements, no temptations, no openings of ambition, no pos sessions of power, could ever tempt to deviate from that one virtue, which is the highest duty with which a human being can be impressed, and which appears to be most deeply im pressed on the hearts of the sons of Poland--I mean the love of country.—( Loud applause.) No foreigners were so well received here as the Poles, because they brought with them hearts alive to all these sympathies of freedom which have ever dignified human nature.—( Continued cheering.) We have ever considered them as our countrymen ; and I trust we shall ever so consider all those who arc alive to the rights of free e of the last partition of Poland—that fatal event men , and devoted to the cause of justice and humanity. At the t country and to Europe—for if Poland had been preserv h:7 se In its original powers and rights, many of the evils with which both to that n:_'h"lyy urope was afterwards deluged would age Prince Czartoryski e. have been unknown. At an early adopted the cause of his country: He was driven to that country which had triumphed over Pnland ; but even there, the honour and sincerity of his character attracted the notice of a person educated in liberal sentiments, anal participated in them, though they were stifled—l mean the Eneneror Alex ander. The Emperor offered him a share in hi - g power.— ( Cheering.) He placed him high in his confidence. He offered him which, if he had been an ambitious man, he might have looked up to the distinguished situation of foreign 'affairs in Russia. But in all situations it was his country that Prince C. regarded ; and the possession of power, the allure ments of ambition, never for a moment induced him to swerve from that, the highest of all duties.—(Great applause.) The education of his conntry—which was entrusted to him when he refused to accept situations which no man could aspire to higher in any country—the education of Poland, was the ob ject of. his heart; and even the Russians benefited by his anxious endeavours to improve the laws, and to give them rights and advantages which they had not previously enjoyed. ..._(Cheers.) His desire was to benefit all around him. He was swayed by love to his own country, and possessing such feeling, it may be imagined that he would not be popular in Russia. But, notwithstanding, he long enjoyed favour—he long enjoyed power.

This, I am sure, is a sentiment which you all feel, and which you can express more fully and strongly than I have done.— We must consider that the Poles are deprived of their coun try. These virtuous men are amongst us, and, as Scotch men, as long as they are in Scotiand-a(Cheering)—it is our duty to cherish them.—(Continued cheering.)

Ila (Prince C.) would not deny all the praises which the Right Hon. Gentleman had had the goodness to bestow on him. It would not astonis;; Scotland when he 3:0 that the object of every I'ole had been, according to their means, to sacrifice every thing they held most dear for their liberty; they were again prepared, all of their who had any thing to lose, 'life, every enjoyment, when called forward in the dischisege of the duty most dear to their hearts. The P o l e s have ofon.fallen, but it was always to rise again—(Con tinued cheering)--it was always- to rise, because they had nu other means to remind them of their country, and to prove to the world that each time they were subdued they were the more strongly devoted to their country and their cause.— . (Cheers.) The toast which lie wished to propose was the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the ,City of Edin burgh. Edinburgh was the asylum of many Polish . exilea r where they had experienced great attent ion and friendship, and where they had endeavoured to improve themselves by the op portunities of acquiring knowledge, which this country so richly afforded. The - Prince concluded by saying, " May this celebrated City continue long to furnish the empire of Great Britain with superior men in science, as well as art, and in public life ; and may the inhabitants of Edinburgh be ever as proven:us as they are, and ax I wish them to be. Join me, then, g e n ti s nsen, in a bumper to the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of the City of Edinburgh."-( isnmense cheering.)

Count ZAMOVS:iI, after paying a handsome tribute to the character of his uncle, Prince Czartoryski ' • and stating that but for the relation which lie bore to that distinguished man. he would have passed unnoticed, said that he felt he did. - not deserve the high eulogiums that had been bestowed teem him. It would be his duty, however, to endeavour to descry.; well of his country and his friends. If he should ever feel - weak in the coming struggle—(Cheers)—he hoped it was coming, and that speedily,—if his Polish feelings should abandon him, which he hoped in God they never would, he would remember that he was a Scoteliman—( Immense cheer ing)--which would nerve him, reminding him, as it would, of the noble stand which this country—of which he was the youngest son—(Cheering)—made in defence of her civil and religious liberty.—( Continued cheering. ) Dr. Badv&r, sail, after having recognized the cause of Poland as thevause not of any party or 'factien, but as thii.f' of eternal justice, 'of true patriotism, of pure humanity, Dade of national independence; and after having done honeur one of its most distinguished Princes, of whom his mortal'. enemy declared that he had retarded by a century "thti' l amalgamation of Poland with Russia; and of whom Russians,; themselves had pronounced against bins the sentence of death; it was nnw his duty to inquire of this meeting whetli6ili th e y were prepared to go a s t e p further in CIO Came C.Arqtri(i and to unite pledginl - s theml , ehics a; friends to the speedy restoration of Poland, and the re-constitution of its ----~
