What Would you say Were reprisal; used at London-, Borlitt, torl Vienna, end all the French who have settled in those cities, with their families, were expelled ? For every hun dred of foreigners you might expel from France, you would get back a hundred Frenchmen. You would thus be cruel, without bettering your situation. " Abendon, theo a pretension which you cer tainly have not broughtl forward of your own accord, and to which you have doubtless been instigated by MR who thirst for trouble, who hate the liberty you have purchased with your blood, and who hope, through the means of disorder, to re-establish the titters) you have destroyed by your heroic courage. flees your guard against pet folious enemies who, in order to deceive you, affect to speak for your Ruyan tage, but whose counsels are only treachery.

To overcome them io that way is a real honour, worthy of men who hav e shed their blood for the freedom of the country.' " The workmen, who were men of sense, felt the justice of this reasoning, and withdrew in the best order," THE MURDEEI OF JOHN LONG, THE POLICEMAN. Yesterday morning, at eleVen o'clock, an Inquest was held at the Crown Tavern, Clerkenwell, on the body of John Long, whose death wail described in our Halton-garden police report in yesterday's Sun. Mr. John . Holmes, surgeon, of 111, Guildford street, deposed to the decea - sed's being brought to him on Monday night. lie was quite dead, and he had no doubt his death was occasioned by a stab which he had between the fourth and fifth ribs; the knife was still sticking in the wound ; he tried to draw it, and was not able; it was afterwards taken Out by another iniiividual ; the deceased could not have lived more than three minutes after the in fliction of the wound. • - This witness, at the request of the Jury, went to the vaults underneath the church of Sr. John, Clerk enwell,'Where the body had been removed from the place of the murder, unit opened the body, in order tits be satisfied us to whether the knife had pene trated the heart. On his return he said that it had, Mary Anne Ste,vent gave similar evidence to what she had stated at Hatton..gartlen. She saw the deceased fall, and a man In a brawn coat run away ; she had a distant view of his hire; she saw a man in custody at the station afterwsrds, who gave Lir name Smith, and she watt certain he will the man Who ran away. The witness said she was once the wife of a respectable surgeon. She was now an on. fortunate woman—her real name was Griffiths. John Cole, a • bricklayer, deposed to hearing screams of murder, and to picking the deceased up in the Gray's Inn-road. He said he was choked, and expired immediately. Amos Dennis, a milkman's snit, said he was coming along the Gray's-inn-road, when he ob served four men walking on before him !maids Battle-bridge---one .was a policeman—one Mall was on his right, and the other two on his left. They appeared to be walking on by the police— man's orders. He saw one of the men, who was dressed in brown, on the left of the policeman, Strike his'atm towards the latter in a back hand. The men then ran off in different directions.—Wit nese made towards the policeman, who said, " Oh, my toan - I am stabbed." When other persons came up, he teak the deceased's rattle from 'his side, and pursued the man in . broWn. - He spring the rattle all the way, and never lost sight of the man from the time he struck the deceased till he was taken into eitstody.• Thomas Prenderbill„ ,private watchman, deposed lo•iseinta Matfiti brown running, and to taking him into - custody. He said he knew nothing of the robbery- - -he made no resistance. • Peter Millikin, a bricklayer, gave evidence similar to what he stated at Hatton-garden. He fully eon armed Dennis's testimony. Mr. John Basalt!, inspector of the division, letter 0, deposed to the.deceased bei ng a p o li ceman i n t h e division, No. 43. He apprehended a young Min named Stunners who was going at a qu i c k rate, into Tyson-street, W ilmington square ; he knew him to be a bad character; he said he was wailing for an aequaintance, but no person appeared. lie took him to the station-house, and be wee recognized as one of the persons who were present near Holtnea s s• shop when the deceased was taken there. The woman Stevens spoke to his having been amongst the crowd soon after the murder. • The Jury said that this evidence did tint criminate Slitnn6rC • 'William Wilson, a policemao, produced the handle of the knife 'Which was found near the spot where the prisoner Smith was apprehended. A coat and erow-bar were produced, which were found near a place where one of the men had been seen to throw something as he ran away. The blade was shown to the Jury; it was highly sharpened and donblt edged et the point, and was still wined with blood. The Column thought that the knife laid been prepared for the purpose of committing murder. In summing up the avideneo, he said u stronger ease of murder could hardly be made out against Smith. The Jury, without hesitation, returned their ver dict of wilful murder against John Smith, and two other persons unknown. Some time after this vet , . diet, the prisoners, Smither! Stunners, were brought before the Jury, from the New Prison. The Como. mot informed them of the result of the verdict, anti asked if they had any thing to soy ? Smith said he was innocent of the crime. He had been a porter. H. declined giving his employer's name or his own address, fur fear that his friends, who were respects able, should know the situation he was placed in. &inners said be was by trade a smith, and he lived at 3, Laystall-street, Clerkenwell. He knew nothing of the murder nor of Smith. The prisoners were then taken Itway.

TRIUMPH OF FREEDOM IN FRANCE, Yesterday a dinner took place at. the Freereasons' Tavern, in celebration of the triumph of c.oristitu , florist freedom in France, Sir V. BURDETT in the chair. The gallery at the end of the hall was filled with ladies, who displayed a great deal of interest in the proceedings, and remained till the conclusion. We should think that the number of persons who sot down to dinner could not have been fewer than 300. Many of them wore tri•coloured cockades and other decurationS of a - like kind. In the course of the evening tri-coloured flags, or pocket-handker. chiefs made to resemble them, were displayed by several individuals. There were many foreigners present—among Englishmen and strangers but one feeling predominated throughout the entire of .the proveedinp. The utmost enthusiasm and unanimity prevailed with respect to the great cause in celebra tion of which the meeting had been convened. Among those present we observed, in addition to the Chairman, Count de Mornay, M. Vincent, Mr. Hobhouse, Mr. Warburton, Mr. F. Palmer, Colonel Jones, and Mr. Buckingham. The vocal department consisted of Messrs. Broad hurst, Fitzwilliam, Bellamy, Jolley, and Master Lewis. The airs of " God save the, King," " Rule Britannia," the Marseillois Hymn, &c., adapted to new words appropriate to the occasion, written by Mr. Buckingham, were sung in the course of the evenine, and very favourably received. The Custustivs, in proposing the health of his Majesty, said lie could not so far viol a t e t h e f ee li ngs which he entertained on the occasion, as to give • the toast in that merely formal tone and manner which decency and usage dictated. Feeling, as he did, that the conduct of his Majesty, since his ac cession to the throne, had gone far indeed to attach to him the warmest good wishes of his subjects, and that the Sovereign had already distinguished hiMself by many acts of justice as well as kindness, and done all that Englishmen could desire,—under such impressions, he should not have done justice to his own sentiments, or those of the assembly, unless he had made this short preface to the plain and formal toast of " The King." (A considerable delay occurred in drinking the toast, in consequence of a part of the company being unprovided with wine. We may here ob serve, that the cry for " wine" was frequently re peated on the occasion, and other toasts being pro posed, from which it would seem that there was not a very abundant supply upon the tables. If there was a deficiency in the liquids (judging from our own experience), the solids were even mote scanty. From whrrever cause it arose, it has never before been our misfortune to be present at any public dinner where the attendance and table arrange ments were on a narrower scale, or worse managed than on the present occasion. It was the more stir- prising that it should be so, as the dinners of the Fre►nasonte-hall are, generally spenki i ►g, proverbi ally excellent, and it might have been thought that a good and sufficient repast could be afforded for a guinea.) His Majesty's health having been received with enthusiasm, The CHAIRMAN said that it was with great plea. sure that he pursued the unusual course of intro ducing the name and proposing the health of another King immediately after that of the King of England —the name and health of a King who was so closely connected with the great events which they were met to celebrate, and whose feelings were so far in unison with those known to be entertained by the King of England. lie hardly knew how to find terms sufficiently expressive of his feelings at the no velty and importance of the late events in France. The importance of the result overpowered him to that degree, that he scarcely knew to what topics to draw attention, or what to omit. As they all felt so much in common, and as they had all met here with the same sentiments and opinions, it was idle to discuss points which it would he a mere waste of time to attempt to prove to any man. What with the exultation, and joy, and pride which he felt at the recent occurrences in Paris, and at meeting this numerous and respectable assembly, and having the pleasure of seeing around him some gentlemen be longing to the country the glorious deeds of which we were met to celebrate, he felt under considerable embarrassment, because if he said only what was called for, he should say literally nothing; and if he did, it would not he treating the assembly with that respect and regard which he entertained for it. lie teas going shortly to propose to them, for the first dine, the health of a King of the people of France —a King whose very title, now for the first time assumed, vindicated all the great principles which our forefathers had fought to establish, and which the French nation had lately nobly struggled for, and with success. The title " King of the French," at once announced the great principle on which the throne was now Nonled in France; but it wits also necessary to add to the toast a portion, which he trusted might never again be separated from the part of it which he had already mentiooed—aud they were culled upon to drink not only " the King of the French," but " the French nation" in conjunction with it.—(Cheers.)—The health of the King of the French, and of the French nation, should henceforth be dear to all Englishmen, when it was considered that the King of the French was a constitutional monarch, and that the French nation had conquered the attainment of liberty, and by their glorious exertions had for ever put it oat or the power of despots, by violence or intrigues, to withhold rational freedom front the people of other countries.—(llear.)—Such would be the final re milt, he confidently argue], of the recent struggle. The courage of the French people, the wisdom which they had displeyed, and, more then all, their forbearance, bad entitled theta to the admiration of a ll civilized nations. That forbearance it might have been that led ignoble minds and narrow understand ings to flatter themselves that violent and unjust passions and proceedings might be adopted with no punity against a people who eventually proved, that though they desired cud deserved peace, they must enjoy it in conjunction with freedom. The enemies of riltliee thought that they could tamper with the people, and lay upon them the burdens which had been previously taken off, not aware that the French were wise hut not timid, and that if ready at times to hear much, it wits through a feeling of moderation and forbearance, not on account of cowardice or fear. Vortunately it turned out that the enemies,of France 'Nero mistaken—he said fortunately with reference to the gram! result of resistance, though unhappily that resistance was attended with the loss of many valu able lives and the outpouring of much good blood. flat although, when - speaking of the painful acci dents of the contest, we must use the term " un happily," the results of that glorious contest so im portant and beneficial to the cause of liberty before our eyes, no doubt could exist that the sacrifice, great as it was, had been well and worthily made, and that the blood of the brave iind virtuous men who fell would be amply compensated by the glo rious victory thus attained.—(Cheers.) That the French were a brave nation the world had long known, but till now it was never imagined that such a union of calm determined courage with active ex mien as Franco bud displayed WWI in existence. It was a proud thing for the French to have it seen and acknowledged, that possessing Ilia necessary force to effect their object, they had the still greater force, the incalculable moral power, to be - able to *top in their career precisely at that point where justice was satisfied, and moderation demended the cessation.—(Cheers.) It was not flattery to say that in the conduct of the French tuition there had been as much generosity as courage,—nay, perhaps there was even still more generosity; there was a feeling that almost appeared to fall short of what justice. dictated in the treatment of the enemica of Fritnee by the French ; and there was 411 evident inclination existing among that magnanimous people that the sword of justice should be suspended, if it could with any degree of StirOty to the country. These . . - were glorious heliport,* was an entire nation act ing as if they were all (every individual)? hilosopbers, et the MVO dine that they w ere patriots, in the hour of action and danger, veteran soldiers were found check. ing the impetuosity of youth, and youth was wise enough to obey the dictates of age. The French nation had placed itself on a pinnacle of true glory, and secured a renown which others might, by pos sibility, hereafter equal, but which none could ever hope to surpass. It was his sincere and ardent prayer that this great and brave people might be rewarded for their heroic conduct, by the prospe rity, happiness, and liberty which they so well de served to enjoy ; and that they might continue in that course which had already secured them the esteem and admiration of all lovers of freedom,---a course which compelled men to admire, although entertaining hostile feelings to liberty and its sup. porters,—which at least compelled such individuals to appear to approve, because they dared not disap prove. It was impossible to over-estimate the effect of the recent struggle in France, in the cause of free , dom, humanity, and justice. It had placed the free dom of the world in a condition to be no longer problematical. The French had not only conquered their enemies in the field of battle, but they had achieved a more difficult victory, and conquered themselves—subdued their own feelings—coerced their just passions, and, in doing so, had pursued a course 'of conduct such that even we who were out of the reach of the vortex, the struggle, and the danger —we, sitting coolly here as spectators of the crisis, were unable to point out that particular act which we could wish otherwise than as it was.— (Cheers.)—We might now hope that the French and the English people—the. French who had thus nobly conducted themselves, and the Eng lish who so justly and properly sympathised with their feelings, and had so far showed them selves willing and anxious to bestow on their heroic neighbours the full measure of their ap prohation and esteem—we might hope that both natio ns would henceforth regard one another as they ought, even with reference to the nar row consideration of their mutual interests, not to speak of what was advantageous (as a thorough good understanding between them must be) to the world at large. lie trusted that France and Eng land would in future look upon each other with feel ings of affection, mutual regard, and esteem. Ile believed and trusted that this country would con tinue desirous of paying to France that tribute of applause which the unexampled virtue of her citi zens demanded at our hands. It was fortunate for the world as well as for France, that there should have been found within her bosom a man so eaten hoed, and, as it were, formed by nature and educa tion, to step into that situation in which it was the good fortune, and to the honour of the French King, to be placed by the almost unanimous assent of the French people. This circumstance was in itself an earnest that a beneficial course would in future be pursued, and thus would the good opinion of man kind be more and more conciliated, and every free man in every part of the world would become the natural friend of the French. It was impossible not to notice briefly so great a character as now appeared on the theatre of public affairs in France,--one wh o had formerly distinguished himself in every part of the world where liberty was to be contended for; — it was impossible to pass without noticing the name of the generous, the brave, the humane Lafayette. —(Cheers.) He remembered the first trait that transpired in the history of that truly great and good man ;—one who appeared to have mortified in him• self every unsocial feeling,—who seem e d t o h ave attained, in an eminent degree, that perfection which our great bard introduced Cardinal Wolsey as re ferring to w hen that f a ll e n s t atesman , repent i ng the errors of his own ambitious life, addressed an admo nition to a follower in these words— " Love thyself last." This disinterested principle certainly involved a se vere and difficult task in reducing it to practice, but Lafayette appeared to have found it easy, judging from the constancy with which he had adhered to it. Shakspeare added— " Corruption wive not more than honesty," and this was beautifully illustrated in the life of La fayette. Of him he (Sir F. Burdett) hail first read in the early history of the American war, when, after having put to rout it portion of an opposing army, he perceived an unfoitunate English soldier; who had fallen wountkd in a situation of greet danger, being exposed to a continued fire. The history stated that a young gentleman, mounted on a white horse (and further describing his appear ance), came from the midst of the victorious troops, and succeeded in carrying off, under the tire of a re treating enemy, the wounded soldier, whom he con veyed to a place of safety. This young gentleman was 111, Lafayette; and such was the first public trait in his character, which united in a remarkable degree tenderness with firmness, courage and huma nity, wisdom and modesty—forming altogether a character perhaps the most perfect that had ever appeared in the page of history.—(Clicers.)7llut he would not dwell longer upon the merits of this great and distinguished character,—the rather, because it was intended, among the other toasts that were to follow, to propose the health of that great and good mum, and his Hon. Colleague would have an opportunity of expatiating upon his merits. Ho should only say, th it during a long and eventful life, exposed to every species of danger, Lafayette had never swerved from the path of rectitude : he boldly faced all perils, and resisted every tempta tion. However, as he had already said, he would not pinto these matters, lest he should trespass upon the ground to he trodden by those who were to come after him : at the sumo time he could not to enjoy with yiaintrinee whi c h h e h ai l t h e h onour help taking thi s o pp ortun i ty to b oast o f the at:- had met was joy o u s , b ut at t h e same t i me i n some General Lafay e tt e . Th e occas i on on w h ic h t h ey degree serious and solemn in its nature : it was connected with u spectacle worthy the contempla tion of the human intellect—an instance worthy of imitation on other occasions, anti an example to all who might at any time be engaged in the prosecu tion of a like glorious cause.—(Cheers.)—lt must be encouraging to th e f r i en d s of freedom to reflect that finally the cause of justice and liberty was se cure of a triumph—that there was an army now abroad in the world which ensured it—that that army was on foot in the intellectual mind of man— (llear)—that it was invincible, and would never be oppored with success : that army of principle (to which he and his political connexions in this coun try bad always been devoted) was all powerful. tie would not detain them any longer, but express his own opinions in the more eloquent language, than any he could cud, of our great poet, who had lived at is period when the country was making somewhat similar struggles :—" Methinks I see in my mind u noble and puissant nation rousing herself like a strong mists after sleep, and shaking her invinl i. ble locks; methinks I see her, as an eagle, meeting her mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the full mid-day beam ; purging and unsealing her long abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly ra diance; while the whole tribe of timorous and flocking birds, with those also that love the twilight, flutter about amazed at what she means, anti, in their envious gabble, would prognosticate a year of sects and schisms." There were a few envious birds, he could not call them tribes ; th e y w ere only individuate who wish to predict sects and schisms, but he relied on their being disappointed by the moderation and virtue of this patriotic people. They had conducted themselves safely to their present elevation, anti he trusted they would go forward improving in harnauity and wisdom, not suffering themselves to be deceived by false or foolish friends, and not suffering themselves to be taunted or tempted by open or disguised enemies out of that course of moderaticu and firmness on which they had entered. lie proposed, with heart• felt satisfaction, " The King of the French, and the French Nation'' ((}Cent and long-continued cheering ; one gentleman distinguishing himself by waving two white handkerchiefs, one in each hand.) , Count lie Mortsav, a French gentlem an roes to return thanks. If ever h o f e l t proud in his life, it was at that moment ; and he felt it from witnessing the enthusiasm with which the struggles of his countrymen for liberty were hailed by the English— the first nation of the globe in the career of Consti. tutionid freedom. He trusted the cause would prosper, and would be extended. lie begged to propose as a toast—" Civil and Religious Liberty all over the World, and Health to the English Nationale! may her Prosperity be eternal."—(Great and enthusiastic cheers.")

Oppression's iron ranks are broken ; The martved slain have won the - fight ; The Triple Ensign's now the token Of Liberty !—Man's dearest right. Then swell the heroic song With loftiest minstrelsy, And vow—and vow—the solemn pledge, To Death, or Liberty!

Then swell the heroic song With loftiest minstrelsy, And vow—and vow—the solemn pledge, To Death, or Liberty ! The next toast was, " The Navy and Army." Mr. BUCKINGHAM read the following letters from Lord John Russell, Lord Milton, Mr. Brougham, and Lord Nugent, to account for their absence from the meeting. They would show, that though it was a misfortune to these gentlemen to be absent, it would be a greater misfortune if it were not known how much they wished to be present. When Mr. Brougham's name was mentioned, it was received with enthusiastic cheers. " Woburn Abbey, Aug. 15. " Sir,--I am so fatigued with a long-contested election, that 1 trust I shall be excused attending the dinner on the 18th. 1n fact, I have not health for these celebrations. But I can assure you that no one feels more strongly than myself the gratitude due to the French people for breaking at once, at every risk, and by the most noble exertions, the vilest yoke which a contemptible tyrant ever prepared for a great nition. The benefit of their splendid heroism will, I um convinced, be felt before long in every part of the civilized world. I remain, your faithful servant, " 6 To Mr. Buckingham." 4 , 1 RUSSELL. " Wentworth, Aug. IS. Sir,—As you seem to have been one of the first, if not the very first, to mark your satisfaction at the late events in France, by sending a subscription to the unfor tunate sufferers in Paris, you must bear with me for troubling you with this letter, which is to beg that if any public meeting is lo Id on this subject in London, you will have the kindness to make it known how much I applaud the conduct of the French, and how entirely I sympathise with those who are desirous of assisting them. This, you may say, is a piece of useless parade ; but I confess it strikes me as desirable that the ;•reatest possible num ber of persons in the higher ranks should be known as ap provers of the last revolution ; and I was the more desirous of it with respect to myself, as we have always been con sidered (and truly so) as great disapprovers of the former one. The French have, however, redeemed themselves nobly, and may challenge any nation on earth to compare with them. It is with this feeling that I have sent my mite, which, in comparison with yours, is nothing ; but I do not much regret my inability to give more, as I con ceive that in this case the amount of the money subscribed signifies very little—the real obj..et is to show the French people that we have a fellow feelinewith them ; and this is marked as well by a small as by a larger sum. " To John Cam Ilobliouse, Esq." "MILTON. " Carlisle, Aug. 16. " Gentlemen,-1 have just had the honour of receiving your summons to attend the meeting upon Wednesday next, and I deeply regret that the date of the business here makes it gniteimpossible for me to be present. But I beg of you to believe, and to represent, on my part, that no man in this country entertains a more lively sense of the d&it of gratitude, never to be repaid, which all the lovers of freedom, in all lands, owe to the authors of the glorious event you are met to celebrate. They have done far more in three days to make despotism impossible either in France or in England, than its vile abettors can now accomplish in as many ages. Iti ust I shall he excused for taking this occasion to express the anxiety which I feel until` I can see the reformed constitution of that noble country placed upon a solid basis. From the inroads of Royal prerogative there is now little to fear; especially if the representation of the people shall be established upon at more extensive foundation—th e best security both for the liberty of the subject, and for the stability of the throne. My anxious hope is, that no error may be committed in the other extreme,—that the wisdo m an d t emperance which have hitherto shone so illustriously through all the proceedings of the distinguished leaders, may preside over what remains of their great work, and enable them to see the hazard of a too feeble executive power, at a moment when they may be more apt to think of the dangers they have just escaped from arbitrary domination. It well becomes their sagacity and foresight to avoid sowing the seeds of dis sension, and struggle, and change, and convulsion, white they are planting the tree of limited monarchy, under whose shade the rights of all classes may best repose in peace and safety. Above all, let us hope that every thing will be shunned which can perpetuate the authority of an armed force; that the functions of deliberation will for ever be separated from those of action,—that having chosen a Monarch in whom they can confide, provided salutary c h ee k s t o hi s power, an d founded hine as we in England elect our Sovereigns, upon the 1 1 1trred prin ciple of resistance to lawless tyranny, they will intrust him with the prerogative of wielding the national force, and representing the country abroad—prerogatives never safely to be shared with any other branch of the Govern ment, however necessary it may be strictly to control them, and jealously to watch their exercise. The happy choice which the illustrious Prince who new sways that canatitutional sceptre has made of his Ministers, fills me with the confident expectation that the hopes of the good and the wise will he realized. I have long had the happiness of knowing their Chief; and there lives not a man in either country more anxious for whatever may best preserve peace between the two nations, and more sincerely devoted to the general improvement of mankind. That a reign so Auspiciously begun, and springing from such glorious deeds of civil virtue, may long West; the people committed t o .s the its care, and secure th e t peace and happiness of Europe, devout p ra y er o f y our f a ithf u l s e r v an t, " lit. B. To the Stewards of the Dinner." " Lilies, Aug. 17. " My dear Sir Francis,—lt was my strong wish and my fill( intention, when Mr. Buckingham announced to me the proposed dinner in commemoration of the great and glorious esentt which have taken place in France, to attend it, and bear testimony in person to those feelings of joy and triumph in which you know how sincerely I par ticipate with every friend of reform anti liberty. But, alas, the day fixed for that commemoration is one on which I have been for some time past engaged to meet some good political friends of ours, in a distant part of the country; and all public duties, like charity, begin at home. Pray h ave the goodness to make my excuses to the company, and assure them (yourself I need not unsure) that no en gagement which I could with propriety postpone, should have been allowed to interfere with my attendance at a meeting, the object of which Iso warmly and cordially applaud. " The present generation of Frenchmen have immor talized themselves, and, what is of much greater impor tance, have immortalized this truth—that tyranny may be overthrown, aid the libel ties of the people rescued and established by the people themselves, without a single act of inhumanity or popular disorder, This is is a rare ex ample, which it has been their great glory to give to the surrounding nations of the continent, and which we may hope will hear good fruit ; at all events, it is one which future despots will do well to remember, before it shall be come the duty of their subjects to follow it. 4, Yours, ice. 4, To Sir F.

He had there seen that great and f ood man contrib ut i ng to make the circle around happy, and using his power for this 'purpose, ..and this purpose only, as the crcle was exter.ded. It was for him a great prid e that he could boast al most of enjoying his friendship. lie would be an example for great men of all ages. lle had not I only gained those laurels with which we were ac customed to deck the brows of a conqueror, hut also those oaken wreaths with which the Romans de corated him who saved the life of a citizen.-- ' (Cheers.)—His life had been passed in the exerei.se of every virtue, and when the public had not any need of his service, in trat quit felicity. lie hail fought the battles of the people and of liberty in the field and in the Senate, and he had sustained her cause when he himself had been almost forgotten. He remembered when the at erupt, made by a Gallant Friend of his Hon. Colleague'-, .General Fitzpatrick, to rescue General Lafayette . from the dungeon of Olmutz—that those efforts were sneered Iv, but where were now the sneerers, the authors of the paltry libels? Forgotten, while Lafayette stood proudly preminent—he must not say the first man on earth, for we still were English men—but one of the most illustrious men that ever graced the annals of mankind. He hail no doubt that the French would triumph, and no doubt that their triumph would have an effect on all nal ions.— (Cheers.)—They might perhaps be called on by and-by to celebrate in that place the triumph of some other nation.—(Cheers.)—He hoped to see all na tions go hand in band to obtain, not a national, but it human object—the establishment of I:berty through out the world.—(Cheers.)—There was a means of judging of public opinion, a pulse that beat from one end of the system to the other, which in France the tyrant had attempted to destroy in vain—that pulse was the Press, and as long as the Press existed, the opinions of free men would be propagated, and the great events they were met to celebrate would be everywhere made known, and .would never be for gotten. The day-spring of liberty had indeed risen before at the first revolution, And it was beheld by such men as Mr. Fox; but they saw it again sunk, lost in obscurity —never, as was supposed, to be again illuminated. In 1818, again the people had rushed forward with their Sovereigns to beat down the despot of the day; but though they shared the danger, they were not allowed to divide the spoil. Again, in 1820, in Spain, and afterwtuds in Portugal, liberty had been sought, but without success. At length the great French nation, stung ,and goaded to the quick by imbecility and madness, :roused itself with all the energies of a great nation, its shackles fell from it like the green swythes from the arms of Sampson, and in four days tyranny and the tyrant had disappeared, and gone for ever.— (Cheers.) To lead them in that combat they had found a soldier without ambition, and they hail achieved victory without thinking of revenge. He was proud and delighted to have lived to see that day. General Lafayette, however, could not have executed this by himself; he had assistants; he should therefore beg leave to propose "the health of General Lafayette and the National Guard of Paris."—(Drunk, with enthusiastic cheering.) M. VINCENT, a French Gentleman, returned thanks in French. He described himself as having served in the army of the North, uader the orders of General Lafayette. He spoke of that day as the proudest and happiest of his life, at witnessing the sympathy of the first constitutional people of the universe in favour of his countrymen. He adverted to the beginning of the former French Revolution, which failed, heseemed to thiwk, because the French people were not then ripe for liberty. Nations went through different stages, and at one time were like children who needed the support of a mother's hand before they learned to walk alone. Ile hoped that the present victory would never be forgotten, but be treasured up to the latest posterity. He bore his testimony to the good conduct of the workmen of Paris, by whom the victory was uchieved--they were equally disinterested arid heroic. The two nations had heretofore been rivals; but henceforth he hoped they would be only rivals in propagating civilization and liberty. He concluded by proposing as a toast, " The friendly and eternal union of the French and English people."—(Enthusiastic cheers, in which the ladies in the gallery cordially joined.) Mr. BUCKINGHAM proposed " The liberty of the Press, and independence of its conductors, the best guarantees of the constitutional rights," and in doing so, alluded in terms of hi g h commendation to th e Editors of the French Papers, in assembling and promulgating the principle, that resistance to illegal authority was legal obedience. The result of recent events proved that, to use the words of Shakspeare, " Thrice is be armed that bath his quarrel just, " And he hut naked, though locked up in steel, " Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted." blr. WARBURTON said, that the Stewards had put into his hands a toast to propose, which he felt great pleasure in submitting to their consideration : it was " The Un!on of all Free Nations against Despotic Power." That union was not to be brought about by Princes, or Potentates, or Mini sters, nor, of course, any resistance conducted through their agency. No; he looked to the ma turity principl e i n peace —not in war; he looked in t the enli g h tenment of mankind, and the sympa thy subsisting b e t ween t h e freemen of all nations; o hem that y looked t o i t i n t h e i nfluence and ascen dancy of t it a h of the schoolmaster; be looked to it from the moral influence of virtuous minds. He anticipated the growth of liberty in every part of the world to which the winged seeds of freedom might be car ried.—(Greet applause.)—They talked of a revo lution. In his opinion, and according to his accep tation of the words, there was no revolution ; or, to speak more accurately, those whose triumphs they were that day met to celebrate, were not re volutionists—they were the maintainers of regular law and established institutions in France. But who were the revolutionists—the real revolutionists? Why, the late King. He was the great viola tor of the law.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheers.) —Those who opposed him fought, and bled, and died in the great and holy cause of liberty, law, and social order. The respect they must entertain towards such men ought to induce them to moderate their feelings, so as to keep them from regarding that as a proper place or opportunity for the discus sion of their own particular grievances. They should remember that they had foreign guests aith them, who could not be expected to enter into those grievances ; the sense of politeness, hospitality, and propriety which he was sure the meeting gene rally entertained would make them feel' the inexpe diency of obtruding upon the attention of their guests matters in which they were not interested. Ile therefore recommended to his friends the exercise of that forbearance which they so warmly applauded in the recent conduct of the French people them selves. After congratulating them upon the temper and expression of feeling which those events had culled forth in England, he concluded by proposing as a toast " The union of all free Nations against despotic power." Drunk with three times three, and great applause. Mr. HILL then said that ho too had been entrusted with the proposal of a toast by the Stewards— " The progress of Education throughout the world." At that time of day no man would feel himself culled upon to show that education had made, and was sure to make in time , an extensive p rogress through out the nati ons of ie world, and ultimately suc ceed in civilizing them. To maintain such a posi tion as that by a lengthened statement of facts, or by cold reasoning, would be a most profitless waste of their time; but if that position needed any illus tration, he would point to the conduct of the stu dents of Paris.—(Applause.) —If in some cases their hands were not the best suited to wield a sword their heads were the best qualified to decide when the sword should be used, and when its exertion Arndd be suspended, and when it should altogether cease.— (Cheers.)—The French people had formerly been under the domination of Priests and tyrants —men who could not distinguish—how should they ?—be tween liberty, the blessings of which they had never enjoyed, and anarchy, the evils of which they had never experienced. To domination, of that kind the French bad long submitted, but at length they had thrown off the yoke, and gloriously vindicated the cause of right, of humanity, and the principles of political liberty. It was well for them 4101. CO!

They had that evening whitened the commingling of eloquerre in two languagpl; trusted that in all times coming the interests of tbd ~ two counties would be similarly mixed np, snkis harmoniously united.—(Cheers. —They the name of Lafayette—they had raised their 44 8 4' voices in the praise of a man, who, though is .0 ranks of the army of his own country, had been found opposing British troops; yet it •wasiT• questionable that he was even then fightb4o, 4 battles of England. should net wilts ttKtr time with a single observation more, feeling P fertly assured that no man in that assembly need,e°ll.. word of recommendation to induce him indse;oo &ally to drink—" The progress of Eduestiot tN over the world." Drunk with the usual honours. Mr. FYSIIE PALMER had also been entrusted O' a toast.
