cheers.)
" God save the Queen" was then sung by the whole
company standing.
His EXCELLENCY, in the French language, proposed
"The health of the Emperor of the French," the most
eminent and remarkable man of the age. (Cheers.) By
the moderation of his Government, and the firmness of
his determination, he had elevated the French nation in
political importance, improved its internal prosperity,
fostered science and the arts. (Cheers). He bad found
England arming herself against him, and with a rare sa-
gacity had diverted those preparations against Russia,
the national enemy. Loud applause.)
The next toast proposed by the CHAIRMAN was " The
Sultan and the King of Sardinia"—the one, with ad-
mirable constancy and self•confidence, resisting the
power of Russia, whilst still uncertain of the support to
he received from the Allies—the other, a small power in
a Peninsula, of circumscribed dimensions, partially (e-
-cupied by foreign Powers, having the resolution and
boldness to support by arms the principle of European
reedom.
Sir ALEXANDER Mauer, in French, said that there
was an English proverb " that good wine needs no
bush," so " The Army and Navy of the Allied Forces"
needed no eulogy. The renown of the past had been
equalled, if not surpassed, by the present. (Loud
cheers.)
Sir War. FRASER returned thanks. The curtain had
just fallen on the first act of the fearful drama, which we
bad been watching with intense interest for the last 12
months, and though the last scene bad shown a splendid
ictory, be trusted that it was but the prelude to future
uccess. (Cheers.) The great deeds of the four armies
could not be separated—the unrivalled strategic defence
of the line of the Danube, Silistria, Alma, Balaklava,
Inkerman, and the not less glorious victory of the Teller-
na.ya, proclaimed the undaunted spirit of those troops.
(Loud cheers.) Nations eminent for bravery and war-
like prowess must necessarily have been rivals, but now

man has been the glory of an Englishman. (Long and
continued applause.)
Capt. de VOCCANCE returned thanks on behalf of the
French army, reciprocating the friendly sentiment ema-
nating from the meeting.
