But that which juirtirularly deserves attention Is
the speech prossouswed• by Mr.'Canuiug, whets M.
Pennell, die British (7osiostil, sun, President of the
amsenslsly, proposed the health 'of the Honourslsle
guest. This speech of • man who enjoy. an just •
title to high influence iu Englund. is so glorious to
the town of limirdraux, mill contain, sesitiments.su
just, that we think it right to revolt it.
Gentlemen—However lively may be the desire
which I experience of expressing, in adequate
terms, the sentiments evilest its me by the signal
and unexpef!ted honour which you have conferred
on sow, as well by the splendour of your hospitality
as the manner in which you have 'received the 'neu-
t of my mune, this desire is, in My mind, op-
posed, and sis souse degree restrained, by the respect
I owe to those of your noble and eminent guests, to
whom the language I me must neeeisarily Ise fo-
reign. This consideration compels site at least to
't the expression of my gratitude, Which, how.
ever, my respect for you will not suffer to hesitate.
" I have not the press pt. , Gentlemen, to
arrogate to myself the merit which yobs. worthy
Pirsident (the British Consul), has Wished to assign
to me—that of having contributed to this Sidi.-
factory revolt of a i 5 years contest (a happy re-
sult. in which tbery feeling and every heart exults
sit this. Inn Ist), Mules. by having constantly ►up-
larrtrd PristriPles. by the operattoo of Which
alone such result MU id have bents olstaissetf.

I 1 Vc lint bed the happiness of being actively
employed in the counsel* of my country at 11w
time when the war was ter 11l I l 14E41 ; but I
acknow-
ledge Myself flattered by your remembrance of the
fechle part which 1 bore in those counsels that led
to that conclusion—a conclusion which France and
England mina equally airplawl.
.• We have been fur a long time at war with
France; hut was it with France, such as .1w is at
present, or such as we hope she will continue ?
No. It was with that France which nu more re-
Inqutiled the Frimer of the present day, than does a
body posseaited by au unclean spirit resemble the
tame hotly whet. the spirit is removed. We made
war upon France as much for her interest as fur
mirk We made war upon Foince, hut we had a
tacit allunice in the hearts and in the sentiments of
all good Frencliniesi—nit alliance which has iswitri-
buted not less powerfully than our external alli-
mires to the sneers% of 11w war, and which has not
only facilitated but 'asset d its result.
" A vain apprrhee.si 1111 l or en unfounded ca-
lumny, could alone give rise to tlw belief that the
partitam or degradation of Monarchical France' on Id
ever be the object of the British Government. God
forbid that tlw Freud, statism, so 'suturally and so
fircessarily preponderating in Europe, should have
berm effaced from the catalogue of the Great
powers! We had felt apprehetisions from her,
when hoisting
the livid and tanitiousliistre of a c t, threaten-
ing 11. UniVeffill IleidrUrfnill; hut restored to the
or hat assigned to her by nature, and 'shedding na-
tural aud'heiwficent light, we hail her as the unties-
tic and indispensable star in the great European
system.
Our opposition to Frasier had nut national en-
mity as its p ciple—it was no longer, as had been
falsely imputed to us, a Mlar against political ups-
moos ;it was a war of defence. Situated in the
midst of Europe, France could not lie a prey to
hdetior agitatiams aml canaukiona, olthout cow-
illUide:ltlng to other min the. 5.11114 rill. r.

" Should it entertain sucha dealt.? But on the
part of a King, formed iu the school of adversity,
who has studied iu England the principle* and
springs of a free constitution, such an ettetnitt is not
to be apprehended. This King, whose conduct
falsifies so odious a calumny, invented by hid faith
and propagated by ignorance, manifests that he his
learned terry thing unit a private condition could
teach, and that lie has loot the rumetubrance of
every thing a king ought to forget.

one may exult in the memory of his warlike ex-

finds in the annals of past wars the most powerful

" To assure the duration of this tranquillity, no-
thing can be mare efficacious than the example of
France and of England. 1 dare give security for
Euglind; and, at for France, 1 hope 1 may flitttir

virtue.

Letters from (7asisbray stste, that they have turn,
certain information that the plan of an isisiirrec-

parts of France at the same time. Numerous
couriers have brought to the Duke of IVellisigton

nary events, the necessary instructions were *
diately sent from Caiulway to the Commanders of
all the corps of dillerent Powers composing the
Army of Occupation.
In the corps composing the right wing, the
strictest injusictions are given to do the duly anti
all possible vigilance awl exactness. Not only sire
the orders which were given to some English reg.'.
mesas to ►rturu home revoked; but measures are
taken, if it should be judged proper, to stresighen
the British troops its a short time.
