• po icy which had , distinguished the great man whose birth they were then met to commemorate. - The objects which Mr. Pitt had in view were the salt ty of this country, and the deliverahce of Eu rope.--(Loud applause.) He lived to accomplish the first by his own exertions and his own talents. —(Applause.) He met with disappoinment as - to the second ; but, though baffled, and unable to 'execute the great desigu he had formed, through errors not his own, he never depaired of uiti mate SOCCCtig,,but returned again and again to the charge, troth the, conviction, that the emancipa tion of the rest of Europe was essential to the , lasting prosperity of this country. (Loud ap plause.) had beeii the aim of his ,Majesty's present Ministers to follow the traces which • be had. marked, to .persevere his plans, and to Oppose that fatal delusion, •,which, falsely. ,called economy, had prepared the way for the . submission of most of the Continental Nations to the Tyrant .of France. By perseverance they had _ now the happiness to see the accomplishment of all those objects, which Mr. 19tt, in the warmest moments of exultation, had --hoped to achieve 6)r his country and the world. Would -to Gull that ,he had lived to see what they had %;itnessechvithin the last three months. (Loud applause.) The experience of the last twenty years had taught them one great lesson, which he -hoped would make a lasting impression on the present genera tion, and their posterity, and estalslish that doc trine aml -knowledge which Mr. Pitt had never - ceased to inculc=ate, that in a just and necessary • war we never should despair. (Loud applause.) "TheHoose Of Brunswick, &e." and- " The Protestant Ascendancy," called forth a strong ex pression of feeling. • The glee of " The King and flee Ctiurch" was,repeatedly interrupted by thun ders of applause. - May the principles of,Mr. Pitt always animate the Councils of.f.ireaVßriti.iii.- , -" The Pilot that weathered the storm." The LORD CHANCELLOR rose: Iu the ordinary • course of Lett proceedings; the next toast Would be, the , health of 'his Grace the Dir!..:e of RICH , OND, the Prt.shient of the PITT Club. He - was persuaded they knew enough of that illustrious character, duly to appreciate the great merits„he • had with the public. 'He meant to propose - the health of the Noble President, and couple with • it that which, by their indulgence, he had done on former occasions, and Which he had much at heart, " Prosperity and perpetuity to •the Pitt Club." In proposing this sentiMent, he declared • - it was impossible for him to sit down Without of ferinf a few observations on the present situation of this country: That these tributes, just as they were, which they offered to the memory of the departed Statesman whom they had met to ho nour, should add to his fame, was impossible.- 31r. Pitt bad consecrated his name to all pos . terity, by what be bad done for this country and for the world. He begged to mention what Mr. Pitt hi4tl once said, at a time 'when the situation of this country was very . different from what, it' was at this day. He was then asked what his measures had gained for this country ? His answer was,- that they had gained for it what they had saved, ITS CONSTITU TION. This declaration was made at a moment of great disaster, with respect to foreign countries. They would give hin t leav e now to hope, that in the energies of the Constitution, such as it is with its acknowledged excellencies and supposed de fects, the safety of this country had been found, and the consequences of that safety was, ,security and independence to every other country in the world. This he wished to impress upon them, and. all he had to say on this sihject was, he hoped no rash innovation would be anade in a Constitution which had achieved so Much. - That Consti intion which bad enabled its to • put forth all , great military and financial mutts, and to call upon the other powers of Europe to do the same, had, in effecting their deliverance, given . pertnanent safety to this country. Mr. Pitt was aware of all their importance ; and having . put forth our financial and militarymeans for our own security, in the first instance, he directed - them to • the support rat other countri es , s t rugg li ng to re cover their independence. This lie knew to be true political economy ; this, he felt, was the best mode of husbanding our resources, which directed to restore the balance of Europe, in establishing that salutary equilibrium which ought to prevail, • • where applied in the best possilde way. • Through perseverance in' Mr. Pitt's policy, this Country and Europe - were delivered from danger, and the danger thus averted was greater thau had ever Menaced their existence before. It was not for him, though an ardent admirer of that great nian, and an humble sailor in the skip which, under the guidance of Mr. Pitt, had tOr twenty years -weathered the storm, to add any thing to the glory of her illustrious Commander. His name was consecrated by his actions to the latest pos terity. When he proposed " Prosperity and perpetuity to the Pitt Club," it was from a conviction that the most lasting and benefi cial effects would. flow from it ; be meant in a national point of view. The great incite ment it must giveto men to serve their country, - - must make it of-the greatest importance. Ile did not intend to say that public men had not great incitements •to serve their country, by the ordi nary rewards held out to them by that country., Great rewards were provided for public services, and great honours were bestowed on those who deserved well of their country - while they lived. But he was sure there was no, generous man that did not feel in the reflection, that after he was gone, a great and respectable body of men would assemble .to honour his memory, that he might still live in the esteem, admiration, and gratitude - of his countrymen—ao additional mmive for laud able exertion in the cause of his native,land. It was from these considerations that he, from his heart, propo se d The health of. the President, and prosperity and perpe tuity to the Pat Clot," This toast was driink with great applahse. The Duke of RICHMOND returned thanks. After the speech of th e Noble Lord whO last ad dvessetl them, it %Va..; quite unnecessary for him to take up tench 7 of their time. He agreed with him in toto,'aud was convinced that meetings like this must give pubic men an additional stimulus to serve their count; V. " :Ph ; Duke* Wei:inton " map the neat toast Mit 17 " 44144,. Wit Ii eU use of their flail," followtd. Mr. HANBU ay , Master of the Merchant Tailors' Company, thanked themfor this liOntutr, laid ex pressed the happiness he felt at seeing that hall graced with the presence of• Si) many persons of hivb rank and 'talent assembled to commemorate 'the virtues of drat great Statesman, whose princi ples had saved his cound.y, and effected the email eipatioas of Witrope., • - "The Duke ornacclengh and the 'Pitt Club of Scotland" was given with three times tlaree.' On this toast being drunk, - The Duke of ATHOL expressed.his high sense of the honour done the Pitt Club of Scotland, which he was confident. wot:11 ever be animated by the stne sentiments as that of England. He shortly took a view of the'great benefit resnlting to this totintry front the principles and policy of Mr. Pitt, from the firnmess of the Prince Regent, and from the wisdom of iris: Ministers, who had completed the'great fabric - of which Mr. Pitt laid the corner-stone. Had they (the _Ministers) re mained in the room a little longer, they would have received from him the tribute of an inde pendent mind, in praise of their consistency, their courage, and their perseverance in the principles of that great Statesman. He was convinced the emanations of the Pitt. Club Lad already conferred great benefits on the_. country. Had he not been unexpectedly detained in London, lie should pro bably at that moment have been engaged in alio, dier country, in drinking success to the Pitt Club of England. Tleio, he %VAS sure„ hgd, been (forre t in Scotland, and, be doubted not, done Consinced of the . beneficial iniinence of these Institutions, he concluded with expressing a hope, that the whole of the Pitt Clubs would ever be! . found ready with generous ardour to rally round the Throne in dines of danger,: " to King awl Country true." The health of • the Wee-chancellor of the University of Cambridge was next proposed, Dr. CLIAPY (the Vice-Chancellor) ,was *itch flattered by the kind Manner' in which they had done him the "honour to drink his health. When he looked- round, and saw at! assembly comprising persons of the first rank, - talents,. and importance in the country, he could not help reflecting with pride, ' that 1.1.1 r Pitt had once been of the Uni versity over which he had the honour to pre side. He eloquently dwelt at some length on the virtues of Mr. Pitt, and observed, he was so beloved at the University, that no 'sooner was it' the will of ProVidence to call him hence, than a SubscriptiOn 'was set on foilt to erect a sta- • tae to his memory, and n‘• sooner was this mit menced, than a sum more than adequate was sub scribed. With the superfluity a Scholarship had been added to the University, to perpetuate the name of Mr. Pitt, and to promote the interests of . literature, of which he had been at once the pride and the ornament. (Loud applauses.)- 7 - , This was now called the Pitt Scholarship. The funds which supported it had been Much increased by the Munificence of the Club ; and he hoped it would keep alive, to the remotest period of time, the memory and the principles ,of that great man, who had entitled himself to the lasting recollection and gratitude - of his emmtry. Lard Renton and the Pitt Club of Wales, and thel'itt Club of Leeds, &c." were the next toasts. Mr. HARDY (Recorder, of Leeds) returned thanks for the honour done the Club of which he was a member, who, in a distant part of the country, he. was sure, were commemorating the Birth of Mr. Pitt, with zeal nothing inferior even with that of the present assembly. Their representative in Parliament (for they )(now but one), who was their President, would, in future, be as proud of the Club as the Club was of him. He much . ap • proved of the change made this day, in. the form of drinking to the Memory of Mr. Pitt. They had celebrated his birth at a time - when doubts and fears °eel-clouded the prospect before them ; when the Child and Champion" ofJacohinistu, having Waded through slaughter to a throne," seemed about " To shut the gates of mercy on mankind;" when, with one • foot resting on the borders of the Mediterranean, and the other on the shores of the Baltic, he seemed the Colossus of the Euro pean world. If, at such a time, they had drunk his health in solemn silence, surely, on a day of glory- like this, when their fondest wishes were more than fulfilled, they were justified in uniting their shouts with the acclamations of the wneld, in honour of that Statesman, through whom all Europe had, at last, Obtai ne d repose—support e d, as his principles had been, by the courage and wisdom with which his successors had wielded the energies of this lion-hearted nation. ';here Were persons in this city who he believed had called themselves ' prOgnosticators of prophecies;' who now wished their predictions to be forgotten.— These individuals were very anxious to ascribe all that had taken place to the interposition of Omni potence. They. Were right—they were right.— (Applause).—All was in the hands of Providence, and they paid the admirers of Mr. Pitt the greatest possible compliment- in acknowledging the blew. mg of the Most High was bestowed - on his po licy. He took -Occasion to observe, there was a singular coincidence in the' march to - Paris, and the consequent downfall of Jacobinism being ac complished duiing the administration of that Mi nister, on whom the vocabulary of scorn had been exhausted, for having suggested that ineasure,,on a former occasion, when unfortunately it was -not adopted_. The history of eoisons furnished their antidotes, an& the history of monsters recorded the might by whioh they had been overthrown ; so posterity,. in the history of ; ,the French revo lutionary hydra,. would read the greatness and power of the principles of Mr. Pitt, by which it had been successfully opposed, not only it - l i the .wane of its power, but in the plenitude of its Herculean stre,ngth. The .I',.%es of Richmond and Athol here took leave of the meeting (the Ministers having previ ously retired), wi h expressions of gratitude for the attention with which they had been honoured. The health of the former was drunk a second dine, at the suggestion of the Duke of Athol. " Mr. Atehemon the found er o f the Society," was drunk with three times aree. Mr. ATcuesoN (who had been called to the Chair) said he was much flattered by this re peated mark of the attention of the Club. After what they had heard that day, it was not for him to enlarge on the advantages which had flowed, and ;night he expected to flay', from the Institu- Club. He :FiloUld add, he'hoped the attendance at the next aimiversary would' be equally splendid and numerous, and that the assembly would be animated by the same' feLling,s and attathinent to the cause which had been manifested this day. Several convivial toasts were .then given; •and the utmost harmony prevailed.—The contpany broke up before twelve o'clock. - The Glees acid Songs in the course of the even- , ing were -finely sung by Messrs. HAwEs, LUTE, 'BELLAMY, BROADHURST, D2GNUM, C. • The folloWiug distinguished personages were among the company present The Dukes of Richmond, Rutland, Athol, Mon!: trose ; the illarquiss e s o f Huntley, Camden ; the Earls of Westmorland, Bridgewater, Harrowby, Bathurst, Liverpool,Mul?-trave,Lonsdale, Rothes; Lords Eldon, Sidmouth,itolle, Newark, Comp, ton, and several other Peers.

Lar • dizaval,- Minister of the Indies ; M. Macanaz, Minister of Justice. The Military and Pohtical Government of Madrid have ordered several more arrests. It is melancholy to perceive among them some names well known in literature. PARIS, MAY 26.—Yesterday a considerable number of the Allied troops marched through Paris, to return to their respective countries. By a Decree issued at Valencia on the sth inst. the King. has permitted the City of Madrid, in ad dition to its ancient titles of Loyal and Imperial, to take that of " Heroic." It is said that a great misunderstanding subsists between Marshal Davoust and the other French Generals, respecting his recent conduct, the con sequence of which was that the Marshal was ar rested. His Majesty the Emperor of Russia yesterday paid a visit to Madame de Stael. Nil's, MAY 26.—1 n speaking yesterday of the Peace, and of what may be - supposed to be its conditions, we had not forgotten that we were reproached by. another Journal for ascribing too I little importance to what -had been considered as the natural limits of France. 'We are far from de nying that a certain boundary, i.vell.defined by rivers, seas, and mountains, may be considered as an. advantage, and, .therefore, the object •of - reasonable wishes ; but surely this is not an ad vantage to overbalance every other considera tion. Let us suppose, for instance,. that Belgium is again : to revert to Aukria ; that .the three Electorates are to belong to• their ancient Sove reigns; we ask, whether, because these sountries. are included within a certain blundary presented by the idea of oataral limits, it is incumbent' on France to exert all her strength .to tear them from their, legitimate possessofs, and thus do. vio lence to the habits of a people, our neighbours • by position, but "really separated by mariners,. laws, interests, S and language ? We would ask, whether, after having at one period effected this violent union, and lest these provinces at another - by a reverse of fortune, their recovery is still im periously dictated The honour of France, or a paramount interest—such are the pivots on which the - disetissioiT 'arls. We remain of opinion, that the law of nations is not to be learned from geographical maps, but in the existing state of manners, laws, interests, and also in the force of circumstances combined with antecedent conven tions. We are about to recover our Colonies. Is, this no advantage 1-- And what means had we to compel their restoration ? What had we to offer England in compensation ? • In return for thew legitimate possessions, so important to our com merce and ma' interests, may wo not reckon our selves sufficiently fortunate in having only to ceded some unimportant territories which the. re- , volution invaded, which it afterwards lost, and which we have not at this moment any hope of recovering ?
