had been given aid duly honoured, Mr. era= proposed
The Health of the Mambas for East Surrey &ad for Rei-
gate." The tort wee drunk with the greatest enthusiasm.
Mr. Ammo; in rosporsdiog to the toast, said It was inipos-
Bible for him to avoid adverting to the resent letter of the
Emperor of the French, in which he proposed a congress for
the settlement of the affairs and the - ties of the
pence of Europe. He was exceedingly to Bud that our
own government bad returned the rower which they bad
given. (Hear, hear.) By so doing they bed shows that
they woad sot risk the chance of war. Be could not con-
