INDEPENDENCE OF IVESTJUNSTER.

Thursday the Fifteenth Anms ersary of Sir Francis Burdett**
electicio for Westminster was celebrated by the Electors in the
usual manner, at the Crown and Anchor.
The company assembled was as numerous and respectable as
on any former occasion ; qutioNg.t them were, Lord Ehrington,
Lord Nugent, Sir Robert Wilson, 31r. I lame, Alderman 31 nod,
Mr. IN Maras, and many other members of Parliament.
Sir FRANCIS BL RDEIT was in the Chair.

. ...... -
Mr. Hubbouse sat oil his right baud.—Aa soon as the dinner
was over,
The CIIAIRMAN Have—" The People!—the only source of
legitimate power"—VV Bich was drauk with tb-re times three,
and immense applause.
1 be nest toast was " The King ; may he remember his own
declaration, that the Crown is a Trust for the Beuelit of the
People."—Three times three,
The next toast was, " only Remedy for all our Political
Evils, a full, fair, and free Representatiou of the People in
the Commons House of Parliament." The applause with which
this toast was received was utobouutlod, and continued long
beyond what is usual. As soon as the applause had subsided,
Mr. STI; Hell said, the Stewards had done him the honour to
appoint him to propose the litaltli of their beloved Represen-
tative, whose triumph and their own they were met to cele-
brate. No Session of Parliamt sit had passed since he was rust
adeeted. without some effort on his part iii favour or liberty ;
and especially in favour of that essential right of the people,
without which there can be no hope of attaining a government
the: shall be admiuietered fur the good of the many, and not
for the emolument of the few—a full, free, and fair represen-
tatiou of the people of England, Ireland, mid Scotland, the
Commons House of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) The worthy
gentleman said %e should not detain the Meeting longer, but
would propose the toast which they would all receive with the
same pleasure he felt in proposing—" The steady Opposer of
Tyranny and Oppressiwi—the constaid Advocate tof Parlia-
mentary Reform—and truly honest Representative of the Peo-
ple, Sir Francis Burdett."
This toast was received with acclamations, which it would
be in vain to attempt to describe. At soon es Sir Francis could
expect to be heard, he stood up to make his acknowledgments,
but his appearance produ..ed such a renewal of the applause,
that set oral minutes elapsed before a word could be beard.—
A silence that, as much as the applause evinced the highest
respect and admiration succeeded.
Sir Ft A it,!- said, the pleasure he at all times felt at every
mark of approbation bestowed on him by the independent
Electors of V 1 estininster, was, on the present occasion, in-
creased, by the worthy Electors calliug to mind the commence-
ment of his political connection with the electors of Westmin-
ster, which hail been ever since continued with rpm] satisfac-
tion and with better prospects. (Hear, hear.) Ever since be
had the happiness of forming that connection, he bad never for
one moment doubted the truth at d justice of those principles
that first recommended him to their choice ; and if a mortal
could promise fur his own perseverance, he thought he might
say that, to the latest period of his life, the same principles
should actuate his conthici. (heir, hear.) They bail mot
year after year moiler o. ircomatances of encreased embarrasa.

crisis es at resent. (Meer, hear.) The power of the Perlis.
trod to act against the will of the people was become as op
pireut to the w hole world as it had lung been to the enli;liteued
electors of Westminster, who were coot hired that all the li-
tieny of the country would he a slindow, if the House of Com-
mons were usurped by unconstitutional influence, instead of
being the organ of the people for the controul of government.
