. . , liberty and public peace, under various pretexts, sra .so anxious to undo, The General-in-Chief, proud of commanding this pitriotic National Guard, after having, in counnott with it, enjoyed the public confidence, of which it is justly the object, wishes also specially to express his thanks for the firmness, the zeal, and devotednets, which have been ex hibited throughout yesterday and last night. It is evident that now, as during the first years of the revolution, the enemies of liberty would wish to see it disgraced by anarchy, sullied by crime, and misunderstood• by the peaceahle citizens, who would greatly err in confounding It with the causes of those disturbances which are the meaus of destroying their quiet, interrupting their in dustry, and interfering with public order. certainly it iv not by such means that what we have gained by the glu t alone revolution of the great week can be consolidated, and t at we shell obtain what is necessary to complete the re `'t`g !aeration of Frtuwe on the basis of perfect freedom, with ' nut restriction as without illtty, on foundations worthy of n, the !evolution effected bye generous people, acquainted at once with their: rights and their duties. " The people are now too enlightened to become the dupe of their disguised adversaries, too well informed to be trained on by men who would only mislead them, too 'oat not to be horrified at those vociferation, which would disturb the course of justice, and would dishonour us among nations accustomed to the principles and the forms of true liberty, and too proud of their present glory to descend from the high etatinn to which we have 'been raised by our new revolution, No! such an evil is not reserved for an old servant of the popular cause, who con gratulet►s himself that be has lived long enough- to see its pure and glorious triumph. " r It is especially to that portion of his fellow citizens who already form the Notional Guard, to his ileac brethren 111110, that the General Cernmanding-in-Chief ought now to repeat the assurance of his natittfactica, his grati tude, and his entire conf►dence in the truly patriotic spirit of liberty and public order of whirl they' have given these stew proofs. 4 " LAVAYETTE.I" The Prefect of the Police and the Prefect of the Seine have published proclamations on the sub ject of the tumults. From the proclamation of the latter we extract the following remarkable passage:— • " An ill-timed measure may have caused it to he sup. posed that there existed a concert for interrupting the course of justice with respect to the late Ministers. Delays, which are merely the fulfilment of forms that give to jus.. tice a more solemn character, have accredited and fortified this opinion, of which our Intractable enemies, always on the watch to disunite us, are eagerly availing themselves. ;:ence this popular emotion, which, with well-meaning own and good citizens, has no other origin than a real mis. understanding."

The extraordinary result ,of the late election 'at Rye will be in the recollection of our readers. The Mayor, and an eminent asseesor, chosen by himself or the candidates of hie choice, manfully, on this occasion, set the House of Commons at defiance. It is understood that the UMW dititiomuithed individual, who figured so conspicuously at Queenborough, was also the organiser and manager of this novel and enterprising proceeding at Rye. However this may be, a strong excitement appears to have been the con sequence in that part of Kent and Sussex. Several meet ings, we understand, have been held on the subject, at tended by delegates from the different towns along the sat, at ,which isolations have been unanimously come to, for the purpose of co-operating vigorouslyp and Miry-. ing into effect thew deternunatien of achieving the com-; piste restitution of those elective and municipal rights, which have been, as they contend, fat so long a period, milady and injuriously withheld from them. To promote this good feeling and the unanimity ofpar pope so desirable, it was suggested .on Saturday last to haves public dinner, which aecordingly'took place, and,, notwithstanding this short notice, it 'was very numeroudr attended. Duriog the forenoon, vehicles of all ilescAptioni were seen approachiug by the different roads, whose pas senger* wore the colours lad favours of their respective p ate. At about three n'elatk• Colonel Beane entered the town ; the reception he met with must Lave been most gratifying to the Gallant Colonel's feelings. He was met ut a von eiderable distance from the town by it great number of persons bearing flags and banners, on which were appro priate inscriptions. Flags were also displayed from the chipping and from the windows of the houses. The bells rang a merry peal, and for a considerable time there MS A constant discharge' of musketry and cannon.. At a later ;wind of the evening, fireworks and lighted tar-barrels also enlivened the semi, which, on the whole was one of a most animated nature, and presented the appearance of the near approach of a sharp contested election. The Colonel, who is the complete idol of the CittqUO Ports, evi dently Appeared limb affected at the enthusiasm with which he was received. THE DINNER. At five o'clock about two hundred gentlemen, com prising' the most reepectable and is fluential freamen fif the ~,,eared Clotted Ports, sat down to an excellent dinner at the G eorge I nn , Colonei Evens took the chair, „woad great acclamation. Mr , l'ralter (one of the candidate* for ilytha) rat at the top of one of the tablew. After the dotit was removed, The CHAIRMAN eahle-Xentlemen, I rise to propose to you a tout, which, if I do not much mietake, will he re ceived by you, with if possible a more than usual feeling of devotion and loyalty. It tray be more customary to give it without comment or preface, but on the present occasion leliall perhaps be pardoned one observation. Marty years ago the eventful commotione of Europe began, Let us hope that the late transcending and ever uromorahle oc currence which has shed such glory on what may wall Ire termed the continental capital, is the happy termination of their commotione, Yet we cannot disguise from our helves that in so vast nod sudden a change , there i s muc h to create anxious solicitude. Certain I think it la that the present ie a period without parallel in history. It is not a eolony which throws off the yoke of its parent—neither I is it the etitablisliturnt of some little republic or confe deracy, such ae that of the Swiss—whose Insignificancy protects it from the ire of ignorant despots. The people who have tine fought for principle are well able to defend their victory, For my own part I entertain the most eanguine hope—l should say the meat firm enticipa tion—of the hone of these affairs. That this 144411, how *ever mainly Licpende on the amity and ateortiewee of the two most powertkel end influential nations of the world, England I na France, there can he little doubt end that this moat desio4 and most prudential amity and acstordance, its no inconsiderable degree, depends again _ on the dispesitiona of the reepeatire Menarche of their great wangles, is 'equally obviotte., Is it /jot then a euin- r°iclence worthy of eongregdation that at 04 eti ilea), though auspicious s period, frineee should reign ip these contiguoite empires, who art 'stridently resolved' to derive their power ifffiri no other seem* then that of the love, affections, And oaken; of their people. ctentlemen, I give you " The King.`...-Thie wee drunk with tre r pendous applause. The Queen's health was received With equal lionorirs—. " And may she long reign, a pattern of the domestic yir. wee, and the pride And ornament of her exalted etation." Tice next toot was the " health of Colonel Vitzelarenee," with three tinge three. The gallant Colonel bad had some correspondence, it appeared, with the town, marked by a degree of kindness which gave great satisfaction, The CHAIRMAN', in giving " The 'Noy and Army,.' adverted particularly to the distinguished connection of Iris with the former service, and to his welleknown &mire of extending a fostering end protecting hand to the maritime parte of the kingdom. Mention also was made hy hint of that debt of obligation owed by the town to the preeent heeds of the Admiralty, Lord a_tul Sir °gorge Cockburn, for their impat dal assistance iat some Bill tor the relief of tlkc The CostatiAla, in giving f` The health of the Lord i Wm den," reminded the company of the4opiont glory,and ienown of the Cinque Ports.

The gallant Chairman discredited these reports: and even if they had any foundatiah, he reminded them that they had in their Lord Warden an official and consti tuted protector, by virtue of his wardenship, capable of shielding them froth a world of opponents. lie then called to their rap% (Alen the'long line of warriors and statesmen whose names emblazoned and damn in the list of these wardens throughout scarcely less than a thousand years,—and yet that not one of these champions of the nation's glory, though amongst them were some of the most famous of our Kinge,--not one of them, proud as the recollection may he, would hear any parity with the heroic character by whoth they were now honoured as their chief.—(The Lord Warden's health was then drunk with great cheering.) Mr. Hot.towav said as he had permission to propose the next toast, perhaps it would be proper for him to enter into a.brief etatementof the purposes for which they met that day. It was to vindicate that just cause in which they were all interested, and assert the invaluable right of elective fraochise. They had long been and still were de prived of their right of returning Representatives to Par liament, the present time and place therefore were very apOropriate fur discussing their present wrongs. The town of Rye and the five ancient Ports had long been struggling for emancipation, and the men of Rye would still go on in conjunction with the others until - they obtained what was their just due.—(Cheers.)—He had hoped to see more of the candidates, or perhaps he ought to have said repres eentetives, present on that occasion ; bht, however, he saw the spirit which actuated the freemen in the number of delegates from each. Port with which they were sure rounded.—(Cheerv.)—The time at which they met was very appropriate, as Parliament would soon be called on to decide whether or not the Barons of the ancient Port of Rye were any longer to continue under the tyranny ex ercised over them, or whether or not they were not soon to snap the chains asunder which had so long bound them in degradation. Many great revolutions had taken place at different epochs of time, but he was of opinion there were two distinct species of revolution, one was of a physical the other of a mental kind. History informed us that the Romans without .any assignable cause pulled down one Emperor one day and set up another on the following; this he called a physical' revolution. But Luther, in the 16th century, produced - a mental reVoltition, which would not cease until it had gone through the world.—(Cheers.) Hewes aware that revolution was commenced in what was called the dark ages, but such a change had been ef. fected by Luther and his followers, in the minds of men, that it would be impossible to resist its progress. Mr. Holloway then referred to the effects of the revolutions of 1640 and 1789, and continued, that he did not stand there the apologist of crime or revolutions; but it could not be denied that no event had ever transpired that so widened the Mimi of man, and gave him such a thirst for liberty, as the first revolution to which he alluded. The last re volution had caused wars of 25 years' duration in all parts of the world, and the despots of Europe had thought by their holy alliance that they had crushed the sacred flame of liberty, but they had only scotched it not killed it.— (Cheers.)—Really it looked impossible that the Ministers of any country could imagine any thing so vain—any thing so utterly hopeless, as the idea of depriving the people of liberty; and in what lie then said he felt confident that he was only re-echoing the sentiments of the men of Rye.— (Crest cheering.)—He knew they had been called radi cals. lie knew they had been charged with wishing to subvert all that was good and great, but their hearts told them how false was such an accusation. Their object was to reinstate the Constitution, and bring it back to its former healthy state,--(Cheers. )--fie would now, as shortly as possible, detail to them the kind of reform they wished for ; it was not from any desire to introduce new (angled doctrines, but merely to restore the ancient and invaluable privileges of the people. In the first place, then, he wished to see the repeal of the Septenial Act, and the renewal of 0;6. Triennial. The grounds on which the charge had been made, and the fears by which it had been dictated, had all pared away. MI boroughs and towns had once a charter granted, he should wish to see every one pay. ing scot end lot immediately acknowledged, and at once take up . their right to vote for representatives in Parlia ment, but this right should be confined to those who live in the borough, anti not extended to those who resided otit 'a it, for, said Mr. Holloway, that has produced the , greatest ,of all possible curses. --(Great cheery.)--He would instance Dover, which contained 2,000 voters, 800 of whom were resident, and 1,200 nun-resident, so that the Representative would not be chosen by the inhabitants of the place whose interest he was to protect, but by those who had most probably come to a resoltition in some pot. Louse in London, where they met to espouse the cause of some candidate or another,—(Hear, hear.)—Again, there was Sandwich, in that place there were 800 resident voters and 400 non-resident. These non-resident voters Were brought down at an enormous expo*, and Members incurring such enormous expenses roust truckle, in sortie way or other, to reimburse themselves. In such cases, 'therefore it was buying a candidate at the expense of their. liberties. The next plan he'avtauld propose should be that all decayed borough* should he disfranchised and the elective franchise given to large towns not then represented.' What could be so absurd as ()Id Sarum, a mere sheep.walk ; Guinan containing one house and one malting---(A New Town, in the Isle of Wight, equally respectuble ; what, he would ask, could he so absurd, as that these places should rend Representatives to Parliament ? Was it not not an insult to the common sense of I?aiglislimen, to be - told that these towns ought to be represented, when there wad thirty-two towns in the kingdom, each con taining more than ten thousand inhabitants, that hail not a Representative between them !--(Bear, hear.) An other propoeition that lie would suggest should be, that all rate-payers in counties—that all persons, either land lords or tenants, Whether copyholderr,leaseholdere, or free holders—that all paying church-rates, or who were taxed in any way for the support of the State, should his enti tled to a vote. When he proposed this, he begged it to he understood that he was far from being the advocate of universal suffrage. lie would not include the soldier th e pauper, or saute'others than he might name. But sup. Instance, that such a proposition was now in force, wh a t, f or Instance, would he the effect in the to wn of Rye ? Would it not be a stimulus to many who now are receiv , ing parish relief—would it not encourage them to strive against their pauperism, knowing that, by so doing, they would have u voice in sending Representatives to Parlia ment. His nest pion was, that the poll fur counties should be taken at the Oeincipul towns in each rape. wapentake, or Innuired, for all the voters of each respec tive rape, fee. &c. In advancing this, he knew he was liable to be charged With borrowing the idea from a speea'reeently delivered by Mr. Brougham, in Yorkshire, where , he had recommended the sane plan ; out he Helloway) could assure them it was no borrowed idea for, some years_ since, he had written a letter to a Member of Parliament, tecornmending such a plan to hie notice ; an answer was returned, stating that the letter bad been received and its subject would be considered, end, as usual in such cotes, there the matter rested.— To prove, however, the advantage of his proposition —for one fact was worth a thousand theories-..-teke for instance their own county, which captained six rapes, not one of which extended over a distance of 16 miles.— How easy would it hi then to collect the votes; whilst holding the election at Chichester many had to go a distance of from 00 to 00 mike, which, in fact, acted as to hilf the county. Another proposition was, that Po person be allowed to vote fur a County Meat. her unless lie was Feeident within ,the county—which would do away with the eepenre in bringing them to the pent,. That no *rime having a petition or sinecure be eligible to sit in Parliament, unless be he a Minister of the Crowe), and then to sit only by virtue of I+i* office, and then net allowed to vote. such was the ease Aratiliect e . 'Col. Eyaes--I th ink , they are by virtue of th eir Ohm Mrs 11614,0wev continued... Hie idea was that they were not, he had then eepressed the pricipics lie entertained of reform, end he believed the tossers print tplus were enter. Coined by all the men of Rye,—( Hear, heer,),—He had explained his views of reform, because he knew those viewe wound go forth to the public, and he wished to show to the world that the mot of Rye were not radicele. —(Cheere.).—Ttley 414 not wish to eubvert the Constitu tion, hut they did wish to restore their encient rights and principles. Nothing tumid be so unequal es the present loath of the repeesentation in the five apereseed Ports, there were fifteen hundred rate payers awl only seventie resident voters. Scotland was still worse, it only returned 44 Member; fa a population of three pillions, while Cornwall returned 'let Meualeirs for a popu -144 of three hundred thousand people, or ahout ten to one inure 1111.11 Scotland. Other flagrant instances were Bath and letlioleiroi, i , the former contained a pepulatiora its thirty-four thousand iphebit,ants, hut 26 only were *hewed to vote; the letter contained o hundred theetaand/rdishitants, and there were less thau 40 voterte. —(thar.)—Suth was the present state of the represen tation, end be hid waver heard sleet any one who opposed a ithante had had tie temerity to say ti,at 1.);e system sy4,l Orla. IT4ll'. Canning,. who etyma opposed reform, merely eaiel that the thing worked well, anti no doubt did fur 11 1,111 -e(ers ty carry, what point they pleased, but ill other sense. He agein repeated, end he wan most mom* fur it to go forth to the world, that ell they were struggling fur we;e the rishts granted my tii9k ChOrtVrt • and the rights to which they were entitled as British sub. jests. It was his opinion, that without reform dreadful eonvultions must take place in this country, and it was their honnden duty to persevere until they had recovered their rights, and in recovering their's they vindicated the rights of all.—(Loud che ring.)—He apologised for hav ing detained them so .long, and begged leave to propose— " A full, free, and fair representation of the People in the Commons House of Parliament."—Drank with three times three.—(Tremendous cheering.) On the Chairman's health being given by Mr. Towxs awn of Hastings, after the cheering which followed had subsided, Colonel Evans returned thanks, and went into some details relative to the decay and suffering inflicted on the Ports by borough usurpations, and proposed the health of Mr. Fraser, the legal representative for Hythe, whose talents, learning, generous disposition, and high public spirit, would do honour to the choice of the Barons and freemen of Hythe. Mr. FRASER rose and spoke to the following effect Gentlemen,—l wish' it was in my power adequately to express to you the deep feeling of thanks which I entertain for the high and distinguished honour which you have been so pleased to confer upon me. It is, -lodged, en honour which no deserts or exertions on my part can have merited at your hands, particularly as I have not the hap piness to be known to the full body of thegentlemert whom I see around sue. To the people of Hythe, however, I i stand, at least I hope I do, under a happier aspect, and, f I know their feelings, which have been again and "gain expressed favourably towards me, I think I have many reasons to be acquainted with the act. But, Gentlemen, stranger though I appear before you, I earnestly anticipate and look forward to the day when I shall, in conjunction with the people of Ilythe, be enabled ,to lay aside my un known character, and telsinvince you that , among all those who have striven for the attainment of the emanci pation of the Cinque . Ports, however eagerly they may have sought that desirable, that glorious object,—however enthusiastically they have proceeded in their operations, and anxiously have awaited the consummation of their la boors, none have exceeded in their degree of' merit the inhabitants of the town and port of !Vale, amongst whom I am but an buttible and a feeble instrument. Gen tlemen, depend upon it, that day will arrive—and that right soon—if I have any power in vaticivation, or know any thing of the temper, disposition, and habits of the town and port of Hythe,—a knowledge in which an one has had a better opportunity to he perfect than myself—a prescient statement which I will gage my life will never be gainsaid by the elucidation of facts. I believe it is very generally known that the inha bitants of the town and port of Hythe were very unani mous—very decided—very uncompromising, during the period of the late general election. The voters on the op posite side came in swarms into the town, filled it with riot and confusion, threatened the dwellers with their ven geance, showed every disposition to commit mews and a disturbance, thinking by such swaggering and bullying be haviour to carry measures by a coup de main over the in nocent people and the timid lambs (no allusion to the bold fronted and brazen-faced individual who has ruled the de stinks in this place) of the town of Hythe. But, Gen tlemen, the Thrases and Bobadils have been known to be cowards of old standing, their descendants, the oppo sionista to the popular cause in the town of Hythe, could not by their mark of the hybrid beast, belie their one doubtedness of descent. They were known to be the poor menials, attendant upon animals of much larger 'di mensions. and pusillanimous to boot Their merits were duty appreciated. They met with such a reception as convinced them of the' unflinching courage of the people of Hythe, who maintained coolly, but determinedly, their undoubted rights; and on this account, that is, through such resolute assertion on the part of the p eople, and on no ether, those rights were held in just counterpoise against the illegal assumptions, the hoastings, and the huge threats of those who carne to thwart and check the progress of the • antient, the just, the undoubted cause, of all the people throughout all the districts of the Cinque Potts. But, Gentlemen, in this commendation of the Port of Ilythe, let me not be supposed to be arrogat ing too touch for its inhabitants—for they are themselves aware how materially they have been induced to proceed— how much, they have been strenghtened and comforted by the example of the inhabitants of the town of Rye.— (Cheera.)—Gentlemen, the inhabitants of Hythe, so far from wishing to be recognized as having attained pari passe, an equal degree of honour with their brethren of Rye, are sufficiently humble to acknowledge themselves the scholars of those men who have immortalized them selves by having obtained a decision in their favour from an upright Committee of the feet Parliament.—(Cheere.) —But, Sirs, however, they may have entered Into the race of excellence, the people of Ilythe will in no wise yield the palm of merit for the intrepidity, the coolness, the determination, and vigour which have marked their every proceeding towards the attainment of those muni cipal privileges which in common with the Other Cinque Ports have been so long since wrested from them by the grossest usurpation and injustice, but which, if I know ought of their temper and spirit, they will re-assert and never. cease the course of their high and glorious endea 'yours, until the object of their reclamation has been re attained and re-assured in their immutable possession._-. (Cheers.)--This, Gentlemen, I am convinced is the feeling of every member of the Cinque Ports placed in like predica merit with the town of Hythe. They are respectively emu lating the glory of the town and port of Rye, and emus lation, as you well know, is the sure and prolific source of all human excellence. Such, indeed, has been the fountain-head to which the town of Hythe, as a meek mi nistrant, has repaired, and, drinking deeply at the spring, has imbibed the spirit of incontrovertible courage, consia sistency, and wisdom. And for this, Gentlemen, there was ample and sufficient reason, although it had set aside —which, however, I must unequivocally deny—all other and finer motives excepting those arising directly from self. interest anal self-preservation. Agreeing, as I do, in those principles for a wholesome anti necessary reform, which have been so eloquently and convincingly discussed by my friend (Mr. Holloway), saving only one or two points of minor importance, which, however, I will not adduce at the present moment, as they do not go so far as to neu tralise the tendency of his • general argument, the town of Hyatt, is convinced, that unless something be done to ameliorate its condition, something to stir it up from its present state of debasement and apathy, its few remaining and enfeebled, because passive, energies will be corroded by that unhappy stree of inaction which has been forced upon it by tnis-government and usurpation, and that it will gradually decay in bulk and substance, until the grass shall grow where once were populous! streets, and the sea. bird, uttering its wild scream, shall hover over the spot where once voices of gladness burst forth with the jo cund song and the hearty laugh, because toil and exer tion were rewarded with meet competence, and the anxious father could provide sufficient maintenance for the wants and hunger of his wife and children. The town • of Ilythe, Gentlemen, feeling its political and its moral degradation, rallied its remaining strength, and proceeded with firmness and intrepidity towards the edop. Lion of those measures which were best fitted to cure the gangrene rankling at its heart. That gangrene, Sirs, was its self-styled end its mock Corporation..(Cheers)...a Corporation which has no existence in law, but which has not only erregated to itself all the mighty pretensions with which Inveterate legal authority could enclotlie it, but has long misgoverned —aye, misgoverned its the grossest pos sible manner—the unhappy town whicls it has taken into its own leoline protection. But this is not all, Gentlemen. I have said that the toasting Corporation is a mock one, and it is so in two senses of the word—first, in the way I have already mentioned ; secondly, suppihing it otherwise, merely for argument sake, in in avowedly inefficient con atruction. That incorporating Charter which was granted by Royal beneficence to the town of Hythe, ordained that it should have a Mayor, It • Jurate, and 24 Colombo Councilmen. What is'the real state •of finrcase? It has a Mayor anti two resident Jurats only, father and son, of the name of Finnis, the father being bedridden, age , an d th ere f ore utter l y i nca p ac i tated for from ex d-ridden r the du ties of office. I believe there are about five resident Corn- mon c ounc il men , o f w h om one or two are h o ld ers o f office, to that you cati•guest how happy Ilythe f ee l s un d er its blessed decemvirate, composed of M r . Shipdern, the Mayor, and Mr. Fiords, his - deputy. There are five or six individuals, indeed, who call themeelves Jurats, but who, I am ready to prove . before a Committee of the House of Commons, have no more right to the title than they have to that of the Grand Turk,- or any other ridiculttua appel lation which their crude fanny might suggest. The teform advocated by my friend, Mr. Holloway, would apply more forcibly to the town of Ilythe than to ally other place withhethealletrict of the Cinque P orts . The thatinhabitants e flab good onblyy our opponents, a r e ;s h oot nines I moan as legal votes, l ega l of H y d e , have nothing whatever to d o with the elective acknowledgedrranciiises si to teen iu number, Of these nineteen any Worthy, Friend —and and Colleague, orlinnt I regret m os t s i ncerely is . not here present on. this moat gratifying oeossion---(Ch eers ) m y se lf obtained night, the - rest having Isten given to Slajoribanks and Lock, (Mr opponents, But we () ej e cted to every one of these except four, and of opr L a u ri ) , to eubeantiete our 04i:diens before a COMMlttee of the Howse of Commune T have !not the slightest doubt wr miligiviog.

I have yet to inform you how the municipal usurpations at Hythe have been abetted, and bow the borough has been made a complete and miserable tool in' the hands of Mr. Stewart Majoribanks, of the city of London, and Mr. John Lock, one of the Directors, and late Chairman, of the East India Company ; and let it not be forgotten, for it is a !MOO consecrated in the annals of corruption and bribery in the town and port of Hythe, of Mr. Capper—(A laugh)— door-keeper at the East India House.—(Laughter.)—This Mr. Capper, gentlemen, is the Billy Holmes of the town of Hythe. He keeps the roll of names of the out-resident freemen, pays them their five pounds a man fourteen days alter the day of election, provides the sumptuary festivities during the election for the out-residents, is the jackal in (Alice and principal myrmidon in waiting to Mr. Stewart Marjoribanks and Mr. Loch ; and, strange to say, bemuse both these gentlemen are known to indulge in mighty aritoeratical notions, and ideas of self consequence, and the first particularly, as be has always boasted of being a 'democrat--strange to say, I repeat, that during the days of the election, during these days, I say, of Saturnalia!' licence, the servant is seen to keep boon companionship with his masters. Mr. Capper, the door-keeper, is seen arm in arm, and dines, breakfasts, and sups daily with Mr. Loch, the Chairman of the East India Company, and Mr. Stewart Marjoribanks, the brother of a Director of the same incorporated body.—(Laughter.)—The patronage which these gentlemen can dispense you may fancy is most extensive, and this patronage is most liberally tributed among what are called .the sublesident.freemen of the town and port of Hythe, to the amount ,Of about two hundred and sixty.—that being about the number which, notwithstanding all their mighty exertions, they could only hying up to the poll at the last election. These men are pensionaries, as it were, of Mr. Marjoribanks and Mr. Loch ; if they are at all contumacious they are de prived of their livelihood by instant dismissal from their situations. They have no alternative but to obey the beck and the call of the men who feed them, and of gr. Capper, who is their whip per in, and on the day of election they are carted down to the town, like so many beggarmen, to give away that vote, (whiub they have .no legal authority for exer cising) according as they shall be dictated to upon the spot. You may well fancy then what the just and indignant feelings of the inhabitants of Hythe must.. be at such an abominable *feedbag. The out.residints, who are absolute. strangers to.tbe town , of Hythe-,who scarcely know the name of a single inhabitant—not even Mayor or deputy Mayor, who never enter. its precincts except on the days of electimi,:-..who leave-it on the understsnding of receiving five pounds a man as soon as the laws against , bribery and corruption can be transgressed With impunity, and the shibboleth of whose calling is the.portentous and well understood word ". Capper." These men, I say, give away the destinies of the town .to the righteous keeping of Messrs. Marjeribanka and Loch, while the honest, industrious, hard working, praiseworthy, honourable in habitants of Hythe, by whom, and through whom alone it is a town, which, hut for their exertions would be a patch of beach land, covered at every rising of the :water, by careering and resilian waves,—these men are to see the elective franchise, their ancient birthright, wrested by the usurper from their grasp, given to the improvident custody of individuals with whom they have no community of interest, to whom they are absolute strangers; they are to ace that franchise battered for gold, in favour of Members who never enter the town except on the days of election ; they are to feel that themselves, their children, and their town are sunk in irretrievable corrup tion, and it is expected by their kind-hearted merciful usurpers that these ill.usamen are to remain in tameness and servitude.—(Cheers.)—They did think so, and they have been mistaken. The Men of Hythe have risen from their. lethargy—have shaken off their slUmber—have buckled on their armour for the political struggle; they know what they ought, in all justice, to possess, anal they Are determined to re-acquire those rights which their fore. fathers are known to have enjoyed. Gentlemen, it has been stated by our enemies that the Cinque Ports are fac tious anal in a state of insubordination--that they are claiming new rights, which, having no foundation in law and ancient poteelsion, are only the conceptions' of their own crude imaginations. Such is hot the care. They are only claiming what it is notorious they once enjoyed— they seek a re-establishment of their ancient immunities, charters, and privileges. That they will attain their wishes I have myself little or tm doubt ; at least if fervent zeal, unsbrinking courage, and firmness and perseverance, and a determination not to cease in the struggle until the object has been attained, be any thing in the general ac count, and I know them to be every thing. I can speak for my worthy, excellent, and honourable colleagues—l esti speak for myself—l can speak for the inhabitants of Hythe— and I do conscientiously believe Ican speak for every part and parcel composing the general district of the Cinque Ports. Gentlemen, in. conclusion I have to re turn you thanks for the honour which you have conferred upon me, and to drink all your good !realtis in return. A desultory conversation here ensu-d as to the wording of a petition which it was agreed should be sent to. his Malady, setting forth the hardships under which the free men of the Cinque Ports laboured, during which Mr. Holloway related the following anecdote Captain Cogger, a townsman of Rye, on his passage lately from Boulogne was speaking of the oppression exercised in the Cinque Ports. This conversation took place in the pre sence of a military officer, who said, ' I will tell my father, Sir, of what you complain.' Your tether,' said the Captain, pray, Sir, who is your father ?' 'My father,' replied the officer, is the King.' " Captain Cogger sub sequently ascertained that the officer was Colonel Fits- Clarence, and that he bad kept his promise and told his Majesty of the grievances of which they complained.— (Loud cries of "Bravo ! Bravo l" and great cheering.) Mr. FRASZIL begged permission to propose the health of Sgentlemau then present, whosegreat legal knowledge and attainments had been mainly instrumental in supporting the rights and privileges of the freemen of Rye. Hu would give the " Health of Mr. Miller," with three three times three.—Drank with great applause. Mr. Mir.exa, in returning thanks, said he should have risen earlier to apprise the real freemen, whom .he then saw assembled, of, the increased prospects of ultimate sue verse in their glorious cause which his further researches afforded, had be not felt that so many others were present who had a much greater claim to their attention. But eller the flattering mark of distinction with which they had just honoured him he could no longer remain silent. It gave him great pleasure to reflect, that he was then ad. dressing the only true brotherhood of the Cinque Ports which had been assembled for many years--..a brother-, hood, not composed of men noted for servility to their pas trans, or for being incapacitated to produce those danger sons—[ln Rye, and most of the other Cinque Ports, eld estems opponents to the power of corporators, called eldest sons of freemen are the only persons whose right to freedom is acknowledgedla.-but of men determined to fre e themselves and their fellow-townsmen front the oppression which had so long galled them, and to uphold the rights and privileges of the Cinque Ports—(Great cheering,)_.. He trusted the reign of tyeinny was over, and that such proceedings as had long marred their happiness would not again disgrace the Ancient Porte.-.-(Cheers.)— The march of intellect was much dwelt upon, and he was happy to find its effects manifest throughout the whole of civilised Europe., Spain and Portugal were about to burst the chains which lead bound them in slavery fair ern wise; and how much more must the progress of station be acknowledged in England, the birth-place of liberty ? This, then, being the age of reform, could it be su pposed that such anomalies could remain as now die graced our representative system ? Could it be supposed that in some places thousands of inhabitants should be de nied the right of voting for. Members of Parliament, while in others trees and stones should supply the place of elec tors? He believed the British Constitution, in its pure state, to be the moat perfect 'opium of Government ever established by human, authority ; and he was confirmed in his opinion by that great legal authority whose Commen taries were familiar to every one—he meant Judge Black stone. But even this great Judge, although appointed by, and subject to the influence of the. Crown, admitted that tin , No created defects which ought to be removed, and enforce'l the necessity of giving to the people a snore per opposition feet system of representation. If, then, suck a necessity existed in his time, how much stronger was it now, when t h e property and population of time country had in creased nearly fourfold. It was said that the rulers of the na acknowledged the dreadful bet s: n i e .; t h in were opposed to all reform ; but be (Mc, M.) did not believe it , lie believed that if such a spirit of system, uries,fr . t b rur• ex i ste d, it was not in the leading Members of Government, but in the mere Underlings of of and cheers.)

This was,- in hii opinion, a true picture of the effects of the boroughrnongering system, end such would have bees the consequences to their oppressed town, had not the light of . regeneration, which now bade fair to illumine their ancient streets, been kindled by their gallant Chair man. Before his coming, they bad often knocked at the doors of the Constitutitin. They hid presented . petition after petition to the House of Commons, and the justice of their claims was admitted. Their ease was acknowledged to be very strong, and they ware applauded for their re spectful language, but alas ! " the voice of the charmer was heard no more, charmed he never so wisely." It then became necessary to tear aside the veil r -to expose to public scorn that nuts' of corruption which had so long kept the town in darkness arid slavery, and demand a restoration of their ancient rights. 'This was accomplished through their Gallant Colonel. The constitution of their town was restored, and Rye rose like a phcenix out of her mime to give life and liberty to the Cinque Ports.—(Great cheering.) The inhabitants of Rye,' however, had still another victory to achieve, and he bad no doubt their tart, would be equally successful. It had been stated that the influence of Government would be employed against them, but again he repeated he did not believe it. Could it be: supposed that a Minister of the Crown. would, directly or indirectly, interfere, for the purpose of upholding:the pre sent corrupt system in the town of Rye?—(Loud ones of " No, no, no.") He was glad to bear them say no, and, for the honour of his country, he proudly echoed the sentiments; but it was necessary to persevere in their good cause until they had obtained a final triumph.—, Mr. Al. here went i n t o a l ong s t atement o f t h e movements ' and intrigues of the Rest. Patron of the horoUgh, and' the various mamauvres be resorted to for the purpose of upholding hie power in nominating Members to represent the town. Amongst many anecdotes Mr. M. related the fo:lowing t—Tbo Rev. Doctor after the decision of the Committee, in consequence of some light which bad burst in upon him, admitted the necessity of increasing the num ber of freemen, which had been strenuously opposed for the last century. It was necessary, however, to sound those who were. Admitted into his holy bands, and for this purpose he went to a gentleman then present, and asked him if he hada desire to be admitted to his freedom? " Yes," answered the gentleman;. "but if 1 tun to be ad mitted, I will be as free as air, or not at all." " Very well," , replied the Doutor, "you shall be free," and went away. A short time afterwards the gentleman beard some slight misgivings lest his views and intentions might be misinterpreted, and he in consequence wrote a letter to the Doctor, giving him to understand, that if he were made free he would not be subject to any one's controul. The next day the Doctor again called et his house, and said, " if you' are allowed your freedom, you will of course support the Corpora tion ?"—(A laugh.)-.." Support the Corporation," ex claimed this honest individual, " I will support, Sir, that which my conscience tells me is right."—(Bravo.)—This was too intelligible for the Doctor. Freemen were not to be made for conscience sake, and accordingly the Doctor took his departure, and the worthy inhabitant heard no more about his freedom.—(Great laughter.)—The Doctor then turned his eyes towards his eldest son, who was of course speedily invested with the privilege' of freedom; and to crown all, this youth, who was only just of age, and who was then studying at Cambridge, was elected a Jurat and Magistrate, td administer justice in the town. from his college at Cambridge. After some further re marks Mr. M. concluded a most energetic speech, by showing how this great cause must be strengthened by re turning to the House of Commons such Representatives as their worthy Chairman and the Hon. Member for Ilytbe (Mr. Fraser), for Member he would still call him, as the justice of his cause must prevail, and by declaring, that with unanimity and perseverance, they would effectually counteract the working. of faction, the maneuvres of cor ruption, and the baneful machinations of political priest cra fr. —( Cheers. )-1 le begged leave to return his sincere thanks for the flattering manner in which they had drank his health. Mr: CHAIIIIIRLAIN said that having permission to give a toast, he would propose the health of a gentleman who had been known to Rye for forty year" as a reformer ; and only ill health prevented him from being 'present on that occasion. lie meant Mr. Benjamin Smith.—(Cheers.) " Mr. Benjunin Smith," with three times three, was drank. Mr. HicKs said he considered that a proud day for Rye when lie saw amalgamated together men from all the Cinque Ports. Fur want of that co-operation in former times, the loss they had sustained was incredible. The former represeututives of the Cinque Ports were not the representatives of the freemen, but of the patrons, and were only sent into Perhanient for some particular pu pae. There had been no justice or equity in the pro ceedings. The only question that was considered was, from which men shall we get the most from.—(Hear.)— The words of their elLirter expressly said that those paying scot and lot should choose the person to represent them in Parliament. The representatives, of the other Ports ought to have rallied round the people as Colonel Evans and Mr. Fraser had done...-(Cheery.) —Not doing this they bad not done their duty. They ought to have visited them once a week at least, and not left their cause in the hands of their legal adviser*. They ought as he before said, to rally round their constituents, and point out the evils with which they were op pressed. lie intended to propose the health of the Members for Hastings and the gentlemen attending thut day. It was well known that Mr. 0. Cave WAS A firm friend of liberty and freedom, and he had often spoke in Parliament in favour of Rye and the Cinque Potty, Ile hoped soon to see Colonel Evans placed in the House of Commons, they had worked hard iu the cause for five year., for it was on that day five years that the door of liberty for the Cinque Ports was unlocked, and publicity given to their antient charter and privilege,. lie begged leave to propose_ The Members for .Hastiegs and gentle men of that town present that day."--Drunk with three times three. Colonel EvaNs, before the toast WAS drunk, said-.-lie regretted as much as his friend, the absence of the other candidates, but they had, he was confident, a mast perfeet excuse. His (Colonel Evans) colleague was ill, and so he believed was . Mr, Otway C ave ; and the notice of the meeting was s o short, that it prevented the poseibilltY of some of the others being made acquainted with it. He regretted that any expression of dibpleasure had been used. Mr. MILLAIS said he had received positive 'instructions to spare neither trouble or expense in collecting evidence —(Cheers)—and he was confident they should go through the campaign in the most strenuous manner, and conic out of it with eclat. Mr. Hem did not intend to blame gentlemen for their absence, be only regretted that they were not more fre quently visiting their different 'unions. Mr. Fusses said, as far as his colleague Mr. Kelly, was concerned, it should be recollected that that gentleman held a prominent situation.st the bar, but it was agreed between them that a constant correspondence should be kept up, and that be (Mr. Fraser) was to take frequent visits to Hythe. He could assure the freemen that their cause would not be neglected. Mr. Townsawn then addressed the freemen in an elo quent speech, which we regret our limits prevent us from giving at length. Ile proceeded to say that a few short weeks would decide whether they were to be represented, or still to be doomed to drag on in corruption. He wished to sound an alarm, for although the prise appeared so near, without the greatest vigilance it might still elude their grasp. He had to pursue a beaten track; Ire had only tq make use of the same line of argument, and to draw the same conclusions, as he had hitherto done. The subject excited the attention of the whole country, and if the people who never saw the Cinque Ports wished them to be emancipated, what must be the feelings of the freemen themselves ? He meant to pay the people of Rye no un meaning, flatteriug compliment, but they had embarked in a grand cause, they had pleuty of sea-room and gallant commanders, who would never leave them until their ene mies were defeated. Honesty must triumph, and the men of Rye put in possession of their elective franchise; better prospects now appeared, and the laurel would soon bloom. --(Cheers.) The contest might be arduous —it might be severe --but victory was certain. They bad been told that the national debt was a blessing to the country, that a standing army was freedom, and that pluralities tended to the good of the Church ; but with men of common sense such absurdities would not do at the present day. A red coat and a musket did not ci.nstitute cou rage, and they knew that a black coat was not always the emblem of piety..--(Cheers.) The rights of the Cinque Ports must be restored, concession must be made. Look at the events which hurled Charles the Tenth from his throne; if that deluded Mo narch had but granted half what the people then enjoyed, they would have continued contented and happy under his reign. Look again at the Netherlands. lie believed the King was a good sort of man ; but if he had t wo mont h s ago mad e concess i ons , t h e people would have been con tented with one-tenth part of what they then asked for, and. what they would obtain. But the King was obstinate, and he lost the Netherlands.
