deputation, uu the part of the ludepentieut Burgesses, white
at Hereford, waited 0111 Mr. Hume, semstiitisic him ti accept
the Freedom of their Borough, mud partake of a public diu-
oer on the same day. This request was most politely ac-
ceded to; snit we may proisomice a the most important in its
interest of any thing that had pretedtd it on such au urea.
lioll. About dere.' o'clock he was met at the Hereford
turnpike by a numerous body of the Burcesses and other in-
habitants, who, preceded by a baud of music, banners flying,
the hells also ringing a merry peal, routine rd him to the
Town-ball, where lie was received by the Mayor, Bailiffs,
mild other officers. He came in the carriage with R. Pi ice,
Esq. M.P., attended by Mr. K. tioskyns, who were followed

addressed the Burgesses during the priries. of that real
cone they hail Si, successfully advocated) cause fui wards to
propose Mr. Hume as a Gentlemau (my way worthy to be

unanimously agreed to with the must unbounded applause.

their health, also pledged by the Mayor and Borges..., cot
adding such rank and forts., to their list of other chrome-

Such were the noxious wishes of the people towards Mr.
Hume, that, etmept at the periods when the contest fur the
election of Mayor between Mr. Heath and the Common
Council candidate took place, we sever witsiess,J a more
numerous or mnre rearectable assemblage.
At half-past three o'clock, the company sat down to a mot
sumpthous dinner at the King's Head Inn, consisting of Ash,
with large presents of game and a aide of venison, from the
gentlemen who honoured the table with their presence. Tte
Mayor was supported on his right hand by Mr. Home, Mr.
Price, and Mr. Sendamore : on his left by Sir Swannery)°,
Mr. Mogeridge, and Mr. Palmer; and is hoot by Mr. Phil-
lips and Mr. Hoidynt.
The Touts.—Goon after the cloth was removed, and the
health of " The King" pledged in their elmoe.., the vary
rose soil observed, that as the evealng was •dvaccing, it was
his a ish that its remaining boars dumb' be devoted to the
best parposes fur which they hod assembled. It was •
circumstance which occasioned him the create•t $.l is
observior that the room in which they were tbrn .rooted might
be deemed " Ihe cradle of no loakitradeitt Balgeases," for
in it they first assembled and marched to the II ell, to demand
those rights which had been so how vaunt.ri over them.
A miad the most 'silent conk! never hove expects,'
that it would he geared with the pre'. nee of sects
characters as now came forward to suppu'l that jade-
peuileeee, and avow their saterhment to that censor which had
rendered the name of a Burgess of Monmouth respectable
to every part of the kingdom. He e tumid therefore propose
the health of " Joseph Hume, Eli M.P. our newly-electe.l
Burgess, with our lost thanks for his most important ser-
vices in the British Senate;" which he mondial might be
drank with three times three—lt were useless to remark,
that it was received and drank with the must heartfelt plea-
sure and implanse.
Mr HUME returned thinks is a speech replete with•pro-
found political observations • which was again heard with
the snort silent siltation ; and crowned, when he sat down,
with rapteernits admiration.
The MAYOR then gave the health of " R. Price, Esq.sl P.
for Herefordshire," and afterwards that of "T. &wiener-
ton, Esq.; each of whom trouped thanks in expressions of
the warmest esteem for that cause which had called them
together, and in language the must classical.
Mr. HUME again ruse, and gave the health of " The
Mayor" (Charles Heath, Esq ), emorludieg Lis address wills
expressions of the warmest esteem and good wishes for him-
self sod fur his family.
After the MAYOR had returned thanks, he begged to pro-
pose the health of " The Burgesses of Uut.tentte," Ise. who
had done themselves so much honour in returning such a
distiuguiahed Senator to the British House of Commons
T. G. PHII.I.POTTS, Esq. next proposed the health of
"The Champion of the Borough, Mr. Moggridge," which
was also drank with long and fowl cheering; and Mr.M.
returned thanks in a highly Interesting speech, connected
with the present depressed state of the country; and Intern
he mat dowo, be begged to bear the opinion of his friend,
Mr. Walter Palmer (who sat near him), on the same subject,
which was immediately complied with; and at the conclu-
sion, each speaker was cheered with distinguished marks of
appends:di tttt .
The MAYOR next proposed the health of "J. L. &oda.
sore, Esq of Kenichurch,' descanting en the merits of his
father, whose memory was so dear to every lover of his court-
esy ; and he rejoiced in seeing the son of that father associ-
ating with them in support ashore principles which be wil-
ed with his life. Mr. Scudamore returned thumb; and the
Mayor gave the New Burgess, as hi. health wet di auk at
the table et tirrefurd—" The holiest noose of Phillipps (of

Walter Palmer."
Mr. PALMER (who, with his brothers, had been educated
at Monmouth) took occasion to remark on his early acquaiut •
mice with the inhabitants • and int. oduced a few wools con-
meted with the memory of • deceased brother, • bids occa-
sioned the sigh of sympathetic feeling from one extremity of
the table to the other; and when he sat down, the hearts of
his hearers testified the esteem which be bell in their afer.
time.
The next toast from the Chair was the healths of " Mr.
Rehm, Mr. T. G. Phillpotts, and Mr. Hetbcrt Harris ;
which was prefaced by a high enlogium on their distil'.
guished disinteiestedness during the whole of that trial,
which in a great measure crowned the cause they bad partly
met to celebrate. Drank with long and loud npplause.
11 was mentioned, that the author f a pamphlet ou the
present State of the Country, who had written under the
title of " A Farmer's Son," was iu the room, and that it s y
would wish to hear leis sentiments. This called up M..

CHAMBER OP DEPUTIES, DimEmote' 15.

At half-past one the sitting commenced ; the
Chamber was very full, but no Minister appeared.
It was observed that the centre was very thin.
The business of the day began by M. Bazire
making a report relative to the election of M.
Durand, whom the Committee had returned us
duly elected. la the midst of a debate on this sub-
ject, a noise was heard in one of the lobbies, and
immedirely the State Messengers and Ushers made
their appearance b:fore the new Mini-tern, who
were introduced in u body, and with the usual cere-
mony. Nle*biellte de N'iilele and Corbiere, in mi-
si;atei sal costume, entered first, and took their seats;
tit xt came the Duke of Delimit), in the uniform of
a Nlardial if France, and Viscount de Montmo.
lyricy in the dress of a Perr ; Al. de Ptyronnet, in
that of a Del uty, his Excellency nut having yet
a-ruined the robes of Keeper of the Seale. The
Altirquis de Clermont Tomierre was absent.
This covelty interrupted the I),ot:cyclings of the
Chamber for some time. The discos-ion then con-
tinued; the result of which, was the admission of
M. Durand, the proposition for such admission be-
ing supported by the whole of the left side, • part
of the centre, and a great 'wintryr of the Deputies
on the right. A pet of the right opposed it.

After some routine buoiness :he Reporter of one
of the Committees moved, that s petition bliould
be kid before the ['ruinlent of the Council of
Mattis. Upon which several voices on the tight
exclsiused, " Is them still u Presideat of the
Couocil ?"

Tu which several voices on the right replied—
" No; there is no longer such a functitniary."—
(Considerable noise.)
M. de Floirae wade a report on the petition of
the widow Lesurque, whose hustraiol teas executed
iu 1706, though his innocence hid since beeti so-
lemuly recognized. The report was ordered to
be priitted.
The order of the d ty in immediate succession was
the reirort of 51. de Vaulihnic, on the law project
relative to the censorship of jaurosls. The re-
porter had been in readiness from the begint.ing to
the sitting, and 51. de Sr. Aulaire and sev,tal
Members of the left seemed already disposed to in-
scribe their names in support of the presumed con-
clusions of the Committee; but in the course of the
debate, and after the arrival of the Ministers, it
was spread about that the report would not be
made. This rumour had already gained credit,
when the President announced that the Keeper of
the Seals was about to speak.—(A great sensation
iu the Chamber, and then a profound silence.)
M. de Peyrontiet, Keeper of the Seals, then spoke
as follows:—"Gentlemen, the King having order-
ed us to prepare immediately a new law project as
to the regulation (/a police) of the journals, pas
also commanded us to lay before the Chamber the
following Ordinaner."—( An almost autversal move.
silent of sati.factimi.)
" Louis, &e.—The project of law relative to the
continuation of the law of March 31, 1820, and of
July '26, 1821, is withdrawn.
" Our Keeper of the Seals is intrusted with the
execution of this Ordinatice.
