RETIREMENT OF SIR ANTHONY HART,

(From a Correspondent of the Morning Herald.)

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.

It being generally understood that the Lord Chancellor
would take his leave of the Bar this day, the Court of
Chancery became extremely crowded at an early hour, and
numbers were disappointed in procuring places.
About one o'clock the Right lion. William Saurin
rose to present an address from the Bar to his Lord-
ship, on his retirement from office. From the situa-
tion in which I was placed, joined to the low 'tone in
which the Learned Gentleman spoke, I could only catch
a few sentences of his address. Ile stated that he was de-
pitted by the Bar of Ireland to express to his Lordship
the high feeling of admiration which they entertained for
his Lord.hip's character as a ;nitrate gentleman, his pro-
found learning as a lawyer, And his calm and dignified
impartiality as a Judge, and their deep sorrow and regret
at his Lordship's retirement from the high office of Lord
Chancellor. " it may not be improper to add," continued
Mr. Saurin, in conclusion, and in a voice scarcely art-
dible, " that with your Lordship'. retirement from this
Court terminates my career at the Bar."
The Lord Chancellor replied in rather a subdued voice,
and appeared to be greatly ;Acted. lie declared that, in
all his many vicissitudes, he had never experienced so
strong a feeling of regret as that by which he was then in-
fluenced. It was not, he said, the loss of dignity—of
rank.—for which he grieved—neither was it the loss of
the emoluments of office—but it vas the delightful so-
ciety of the gentlemen of the Irish Bar, from which he
parted with great %egret ; and he begged to assure Mr.
Sandra and the Bar that he should ever remember them
with the most Affectionate regard. His,Lordship appeared
much affected towards the termination of his answer.
Another address was presented to him by Joshua Dunne,
Esq., from the Solicitors of the, Court of Chancery, to
which his Lordship returned a highly complimentary an-
swer. During the proceedings the utmost silence pre-
vailed in the Court; and I could perceive, even among
the political opponents of Mr. S., a strong feeling of re-
spect for his high political attainments, and fir the uni-
form honesty and consistency of his political career. After
being h 0 years at the Bar, during 20 of which he enjoyed
high office, and possessed imtnense patronage, he retiree
into the bosom of his amiable family, without a coronet
or a pension, with the admiration of all good men, and
the respect even of his enemies.
I have heard at the Castle that Serjeant Pennefather
has declined the office of Attorney-General, and that Ser.
jeant Blackburne has accepted it. This I believe to be
true. The vagabonds of the 'milieus intend positively to
exhibit black banners to-morrow, on the occasion of the
Marquis of Angleseee public entry.

Mr. Lost' said it now became his duty, on be-
half of the gentlemen who signed the requisition just
read, to stare to that great and respectable meeting
the grounds upon which they had called them to-
gether, and the object they had in view. That ob-
ject was to obtain for this great country a thorough
and efficient Reform in the Commons' House of
Parliament—(Applause)—and that object he trusted
would be pursued by all fair and proper means. lie
had thought that no one could, at this time, have
entertained an idea that Reform was not wanted ;
yet there was one great and distinguished person,
and perhaps others, who' had denied that it was ne-
cessary. The best answer to that had been the
manner in which that denial had been received, the
unanimous feeling of the country on the subject,
and the effect which had resulted from the expres-
sion of that feeling.—(Applause.)—He must be a
bold matt, indeed, who would at the present moment
venture to defend the grievous expenses of elections
for counties and large populous places, or the too
notorious corruption which was exercised upon those
occasione, and, above all, that abomination called,
close boroughs, where Peers and other individuals,
claimed as their private property the tights and
liberties of the people of this great nation—(Ap-
plause)—property which, if used at all, could only:
be used for base and sordid purposes, and which, if
not sanctioned by custom, must have brought di--
grace anti contempt upon every person connected
with them. They might be assured that their
friends in power would have difficulties enough to
contend with, for it could net be supposed the bp-
roughmongers would tamely give up what they con-
sidered to be their property, awl every effort the
people could make, would be necessary to strengthen
their friends against the difficulties they had before j
them. Such, he believed, was the feeling of the
present Administration ; and unless the people
at large supported them, he was perfectly con-
fident they would fail in their endeavours. Ar-
gument had been
,tried ssith those borough-
mongers; but to argumentthey had nothing to answer.
Shame had been tried; but nothing in the world
would make them loose their hold of that ill-gotten
property, but the spirit. ett_the...people, shewn
throughout the country—and that alone, would
enable an honest Administration to obtain the end it
con t em pigtfte..ats they,innintroir_such. an.
Administiatton, who were inclined fo persevere in
economy and retrenchment as far as it was in their
power; and he hoped that power would be
strengthened by petitions from the people from one
end 'of the kingdom to the other.—(Applause.)—
He trusted the country, and this part of it iR par-
ticular, would give to the illustrious person at the
head of the Government—their countryman, .the
first Minister of the Crown, and of the people also
—anJ his colleagues, time to show what their in-
tentions were, and if they were satisfied with those
intentions,-not to be too hasty in asking for what
could riot be hastily performed. He was afraid
they were all apt to expect too much from pithlis
men, and to forget that they had their failings
and foibles as well as themselves. But if they
saw the Administration institute a rigid economy
in the expenditure of the public money—if
they saw them abolishing all useless places and
pensions—if they saw them endeavouring to
preserve peace with foreign nations, attending
to the distress of the lower orders, and, by
every means in their power maintaining the public
peace, and restoring tranquillity in the country, arid,
above all, if they saw them honestly striving to pro-
cure an efficient Parliamentary Reform, he was con- j
fident they would riot withdraw their confidence
from thlim, though they might perceive some trifling
errors in minor points o f their conduct.—(A pplause.)
—The Learned Gentleman then proposed the first
resolution, which was seconded by Alderman Bell,
and carried unanimously.
Dr. IIIiADLAItt oberved that we had a representa-
tive form of Government; but he would ask in
what the representation consisted ? It consisted of
a House of Commons, the majority of whom was
actually appointed by a few individuals, chiefly
Members of the House of Lords, without any con-
troul of the people.--(Cheers.)--He need nut draw
the attention of the meeting to the conduct of the
persons who were invested with so dangerous a
power, nor to the consequences of such a corrupt
state of things. Our public expenditure was en-
hanced by it—the persons who directed our affairs,
anti regulated' that expenditure, levying the taxes
with one hand, and receiving the money in the
other.—(Cheers.)—lt was in this mariner that a
Minister of the Crown was always able to manage a
Majority of the House of Commons. He had only,
as in the late war, to support a wasteful expenditure
of the public money, arid to dole it out in places
and pensions to those who governed over that as-
sembly, to secure their support. It was thus we
saw, in many instances, time out of mind, the
places in the patronage of the Administration occu-
pied by branches of powerful families, who either
possessed, or were willing to purchase, seats in
Purliament. As an illustration of this, he remem-
bered when he resided in Scotland, where nice cal-
culations of interest were well understood—(A
laugh)—there was much discussion on a subject of
feudal entails; and they always strenuously con-
tended for the necessity of keeping the head of their
clan rich and powerful, in order that ire might be the
better enabled to influence the Minister to provide
for his pennyless brothers, cousins, and other con-
nexions.—(Renewed laughter.)—Sa it was with the
aristocracy of this country. They furnished the
means to Governtnent, and, in return, the younger
members of their families were quartered upon the
public.—(Cheers.)—No weirder that under such a
system our resources should fail, and that we should
accumulate a debt of enormous magnitude. Sure .
he was that we had bought our experience dearly ;
arid we now suffered from the flagitious expenditure
of the last fifty years. But the very pressure of that
debt upon all property, and every species of enters
prize in the country, had opened the eyes of many per-
sons who were wont to praise the perfection of our
Constitution, and to stand up in defence of the
wisdom of our ancestors. The late war which Mr.
Losh had stigmatised as unjust in its origin, and
ruinous in its consequences, was commenced after
the first Revolution in France, for no other pur-
pose than to check the opinions with respect to Re-

It is said that the Irish Chief Baron, having
now got his Peerage, positively declines to retire from the
Bench, until he is paid a sum of 16,0001., the amount of
fees funded during the suit between him and the Crown,
as to the right of appointment to the Clerkship of the
Pleas.—Dublin Mail.
SIR E. LEES, AND TILE IttISII POST-
OFFICE.-It affords us sincere pleasure to learn that the
above valuable and efficient servant is at length placed at
the head of the Irish Post-office ;an appointment which
will be hailed with the greatest satisfaction by the country
in general, and snore particularly so by the mercantile
part of the community, who have already derived much
benefit by the new regulations adopttAl by the Irish Secre-
tary. It therefore now devolves upon Sir EDWARD to
miry into execution those plans of Reform which lie has
for some time past been proposiog. To effect this purpose,
Sir Eow.ean is at present in active correspondence with
Mr. SPRING RICE on the subject ; and we understand the
Treasury is most anxious to carry his plan of Reform into
immediate execution, by which means a saving of 5001.
annually will be effected to th,s public, independent of the
lbool. a year salary of the Postmaster-General
oence.—(We are extremely gratified that the Irish Post-
office has been at length placed under the direction of Sir
E. Lacs, than whom a more efficient officer is not em-
ployed in the public service. We trust that the proposed
saving is not to be made by a reduction of the salaries of
the herd-working clerks of the establishment.)—Dublin

ince, which took their rise in the base ratition
- Poland, and were continued to the lait Treaty of
Parise—(Cheers.)—But thanks to the diffnsion Jot
' knowledge, which his Hon. Friend had so ably de-
-scribed in, all its effects, a change has taken place
in the opinions of all men. The people had non
formed a better estimate of the principles of Go-
stennornt and of the resources of the country, and
that diffusion of knowledge had broken the chain,
which short-sighted diplomatists forged to fetter
theta.---(Cheers.)--He (Dr. H.) was free to con-
fess, that he had the highest confidence in the cha-
racter of the Noble individual at the head of the
Government, more particularly since 'he had made
his liberal principles the basis of his administration,
—(Hear.)—He hal observed his conduct through
life; and he had seen him conspicuous for the most
arise and just views of our foreign and domestic
onlicy, anti for the utmost inteeritvand eceaS;Stencn
intie whole tenour of his public life. Prepossessed
its he was in his favour, he felt proud that he hail
refused power and place during the greater part of
hioa life, when he could not accept it without the sa-
,crifice of his prieciples, and that he had at last enb,
accepted office on the condition that. Reform should
be made -a Cabinet measure.—(Cheers.)—But
though he had confilence in Earl Grey, and the
able and liberal individuals who were associated with
him in the Government, he would repose no blind
confidence in any administration. He would watch
them, and see if they redeemed their pledge; and
he would say, that if they (NI, they would be' en-
titled to the gratitude and admiration of the country.
—(Cheers.)—Dr. H. concluded amidst general ap-
plause, by proposing the second resolution, which
was seconded by Mr. A. Donkin, and carried
unanimously. .
Mr.W.H. ORD said, that if they had displaced one
Ministry, and if they had now an Administration
whose pledges had plated them in power, they had
yet to win the Legislature. If they looked at the
constitution of the two Houses, through which the
measure must pass, be was afraid it afforded quite
room enough for apprehension, without disunion
amongst its friends. Look, in the first instance, at
the House of Lord;" Ile could not conceive that
those' members of thalassembly, who directly nomi-
nated to seats in the-Lower House members of their
own 'OO &pendent, On themselves, thus
giving them so much influence in the Litter, that it
might in truth-he said there was one House of
Lords, and another House of Lords and Commons
could not Olio's that those Members of the
House of Lords would look favourably on a measure
which was to deprive them of this double, and some-
times more than double vote in the Legislatide!
There was another class, who having, by the wis-
dom of their ancestors, very little left them, or hav-
ing, by their own wisdom, got through what was
left them, found it convenient to live upon the
money of the public; such men would not look fa-
vourably upon any measure of Reform which would
put an end to sinecures, places, embassies, and other
devices, by which a lean and hungry aristocracy
contrived to get fat at the expense of the labour of
the industrious democracy.— (Cheers.)—Then there
was the Right Reverend the bench of Bishops.—
(Laughter and cheers.)—He did not think they
would entertain any very vehement or holy zeal in
the cause of Parliamentary Deform—(A
though..he did not .iw what—l-nigh t,be ,effeetedhy
a Minister, who, in addition to the gift of eloquence,
bad the gift of Canterbury and Durham in his hands,
though it was true they had not to look very far for
miracle of that description.—(Renewed laughter.)
—He slid not believe, however, that the Reverend
Bench were likely to be very strenuous Parliamen-
tary Reformers. If they turned to the composition
of the House of Commons, they would find a large
majority of those returned by Peers and \webby
Commoners, and by petty Corporations, or small-
bodies of individuals, who drove a thriving trade in
the manufacture of Members of Parliament. These
electors must all be declared enemies of Reform,
and so must lie their faithful representatives. But
besides these, there would be others who, from in-
terest and education—some holding high offices, end
profiting by that expenditure which Reform would
sweep away—and others, who by education, bated
liberty, and were jealous of the people, had, by
hook or by crook, obtained seats for places where,
even under the present system, the popular voice,
when roused, had still some influence---those per-
Sons, though they might not oppose Parliamentary
Reform, ',would prove only slippery friends,—(A
laugh.)----Tit erefore Reformers should keep their
eyes upon them, and be vigilant. They must be
vigilant as well as steady, and mite care that those
persons did not prove more dangerous enemies than
their open antagonists.--(hear, hear.)--What were
the best means of obtaining Parliamentary Reform
in their present situation ? They should recollect
that though the Reformers had long been used to •
persevere in their cause, and were veterans in defeat,
they were novices in victory, and had yet to learn
the tactics of success. What ought to be the first
watch-word and. symbol of our party ? Ile would
say, Union—union amongst ourselves.—(hear.)---
What was the first object of any set of men who
were associated for the attainment of any common
purpose ? Union—how was that union to be ob-
tained among reformers ? By mutual CtilleiSsloll6
—7-by that simple method of give and take—a prin-
ciple which, in common bfe, bad effected the settles
merit of more disputes than all the tedious wrangling
of lawyers, and the slow decision of judges.—
(Hear.)-11e felt moreover a confidence which be
had not been much in the habit of extending to Mi-
nisters, when he saw that to the hands of Henry
Brougham—and lie gave him that name, as it was
by that, not by his tide, he would go down to pos-
terity—bad been entrusted the raising of the super-
structure of Reform—to the hands oldie man whose
exertions and perseverance haul laid its solid and im-
perishable foundations in the education of the people.
—(Cheers.)—But if Ministers had their task to
perform, the people had theirs to perform also. It
was with peculiar pleasure he hod lately heard that
plain honest man who now holds the office of Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer say, " Thank God, the day
had gone by when this country could be governed
by patronage." That sentence, coming from a
Minister of the Crowe, deserved to be written in
gold.—(Cheers.)—But it would be the sentence of
his own condemnation with the Aristocracy and the
Parliament, if he were not upheld by the people;
who owed it to him to give him the support which
lie had required, by giving tip those sources of in-
fluence by which the Government had hitherto been
carried on.—(Cheers.)—The Learned Gentleman
then proposed the third resolution.
Mr. EarrEnnv, in seconding the resolution said,
he had been a resident in Newcastle for the litot
.sixty years, and was one of the members of the
committee, formed forty years ago, for a purpose
similar to the present, and be couldnot but express
his regret that lie saw only two members of that
committee-411e Rev. William Turner and the
Learned Gentleman who opened the question. On
that occasion, they failed in their object by slight
differences among themselves, by splitting on minor
points. Ile would urge the meeting, therefore, to
support the petition which would be read to them,
even though they might feel that it was possible to
prepare a better one.
Mr. LIDDLILL then rose and addressed the meet-

mg. First of all, the lion. and Learned Gentles
nan who opened the question, in speaking of those
boroughs which, according to law, do now return a
esissiderable number of Members of the House of
Commono, used language which, probably, upon re-
sonseleration he might be disposed to recall. He
hail ascribed to the proprietors of those boroughs
the basest and most sordid purposes, and talked of
the wretched objects of corruption returned by them
o the House of Commons. Does the Hon. arid
Learned Gentleman recollect that those boroughs
we not confined to one class of politicians, and that
many of his own friends are returned to Purliament
through them ? Lord John Russell, Lord Howiek, Mr. •
Brougham, and Sir James Markintoih, to go no
further, have sat in Parliament through the means
of such boroughs; and will the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman say that these persona are the wretched
objects of the corruption he has desetiised.—(Cries
of no, no, and disapprobation ?) If Wise true that
by such boroughs many individuals have beets ill-,
trodueed-to the HOttseead Commons, W 6 Were the
brightest ornamenta..ottbit assembly, and who will
he admired to the latest posterity as the greatest
ornaments of the country, who could not otherwise'
have obtained seats in Parliament, was it not evi-
dent that though t hese boroughs may be abhorrent to
the people, they yet possess, countervailing advan-
rages which would render their total removal a most
inconvenient measure.—(Tlte. lion'. Gentleman was
here assailed with strong expressions or diseparebatipp,)
mixed with cries of hear, hear, heer.)--71 att.. rialto
sure nothing rem be gained (Mr, LsWene on) by
refusing to hear a man who Inis coMe here, solely
for your sake. I no longer stand .before you as a
candidate for public favour; but come , here •as
true friend of the people, determined to deliver my
sentiments to you whether they meet with your ap-
probation or not.—(Cheers.)—The lion, and
Learned Gentlemen has also said, " we are apt to
expect too much from public men," a doctrine
which it was rather novel to hear from him, and
that " confidence should not be withdrawn from
them because they do not act ,fully up to our
wishes." I quite agree with the Hon. and Learned
Gentleman ; 1 trust that he will extend the same
charity to those on whom I have been accustomed
to look more favourably than himself. The people'
have a right to be well governed; and in the
establishment and prosecution of that right I am
prepared to go all lengths along with them,—
(Cheers.)—But the people must recollect, that, if
on the establishment of those rights, they are
governed according to the dictates of reason, of
justice, and of humanity, minor points should be
contentedly conceded in exchange for the the bles-
sings or a rational, humane, and just Government.
—(Loud and continued cheers.)—ls it then neces-
sary, in order to the constitution of good Govern-
ment, that a Reform of the House of Commons
should take piece ?—(A cry of " it is.")—lf I
were disposed to take the anti-popular side of the
question, which I am riot, I might show. you
that the present House of Commons, all cord
rupt and impure as it may be, has just proved its
independence, by declaring that it did not place
confidence in the late Administration; and I believe
the vote, which caused the resignation of the Duke
of %Wellington and his colleagues was occasioned by
the injudicious declaration of that Noble Duke in
the House of Peers against Parliamentary Reform.
Having conceded the point that Refocus is expe-
dient tit the present time, I may be permitted to •
irtrjtiiie into Om nature- of the...iiefortn required. I
deelarb • ,my mo4victioqt to you that a t 'Rama
should fiest,isoOtnini'inte, turd next be gradual.—
(Dlsapprobatian.)" Temperate Reform," says one
of the greatest Statesmen that ever lived, and much
Mneater than any one now existing---Imean Mr.
arko:--(Laughter and disapprobation)--"'Tem-
perate Reform," says that great man," is for the
advantage of the people, it is for their advantage
because it contains within itself a principle of
growth. Whenever we improve we should leave
room for further improvement. It is right to con-
sider, to look about, and examine the effect of what
we have done. We can then proceed with confi-
dence, because we can proceed with intelligence."
Such sentiments, however unpalatable they may
be, will be acted upon by those who will bring for.
wool the measure in Parliament. Considering
Reform to be necessary, I should propose to give
representatives to the large unrepresented towns.—
That is the most rational and natural mode; and
even that will be attended with great difficulties,
because, unless you reform with justice, you had
better not reform at all ; and if you refuse to pro-
ceed with caution, Reform may yet be longer de-
layed than you may be willing to believe. The
present number of the House of Commons is
considered already too large for a deliberative as-
sembly; and unless you are prepared to increase
that number, you must disfranchise a number of
boroughs to admit the new Members.—(A cry of
" Undoubtedly.") The questions will then arise
what boroughs would you disfranchise, and where
will you affix the limit ? For a limit must be fixed
somewhere.—(Cries of every one, at one fell
swoop.) However sweeping (said Mr. L.) that
declaration may be, considering that amongst these
boroughs may be found every possible variety of
franchise, and every conceivable diffsrence in the
number of those enjoying such franchise, it is not
one which would come with a very good grace from
the responsible Ministers of this country. How is
this distianchisement to be effected ? By Act of
Parliament ; and there questions must arise of com-
pensation to individuals.--(Cries of " No," and
loud disapprobation.) I say that these questions
will arise ; end I have no doubt it was the difficulty
of reconciling such mutters with any fixed pride Ales
of action, that induced the late Ministil to make the
declarations they did against Reform. But I con-
ceive that not one of' them is disqualified by those
declarations from supporting Reform, if accompanied
with such attendant measures as they may deem
necessary.--(Disapprobation,) I am only perform-
ing a public duty in putting these queries. 1 know
they are unpopular ; but they are more easily asked
than answered. Parliamentary Reform, however ex-
tensive it may be, and whatever great additions to
the representation of the people may be infused into
the House, must in its origin be temperate, and he
progress gradual.—(No, no.) I agree that it is highly
desirable that the wasteful and profligate expense of
contested elections should, in some degree, be di-
minished.' There is en old saying, " Eaperto
credo." 1 do not see that an honest man, with
it natural ambitioa to go into Parliament, with the
sole disposition to do his duty to his country, should
be obliged to half ruin himself and his family in en-
deavouring to get there. But in
,justice to myself
and the freeholders of Northumberland, 1 will say,
that not one halfpenny ever proceeded from me, or
from any of my agents, in the shape of bribery. I
speak only for myself; but I believe I may add, that
notwithstanding the strife and excitement by which
it was accompanied, there never was a contest ut
which so little bribery avas practised.—(Cries of
" Question.") The attention of one of the most
valuable members of the Government (Lord Althorp)
has been directed to the expellee of county elections.
The Noble Lord moved fora Committee, which set
many months, and had obtained much valuable in-
formation, of which he ( Lord A.) would know well
how to avail himself. An important part of the
question is the Vote by Ballot. We are told that
it is justified by precedent, and is practised in France.
1 can only say that Vote by Ballot might be harm-
less, and perhaps expedient, if accompanied with a

Mr. LOSH explairted. The Hon. Gentlerimihal
stated that we ought to consider well beforeak° de.;
stroy the close boroughs. Consider whet, foisooth ?
Why that many honourable and great men haVe re.
presented those boroughs. Undoubtedly they heve.
But, if they did not come in for them, where were,
they to come in for? What does it signify? What
harm was there in Mr. Brougham's sitting for'a rot-
ten borough, us long as they are stiffCred to exist ?
But, does the Hon. Gentleman mean to say, that if
the country had been Lilly represented, that if
all of you had the opportunity of exercising the elec-
tive franchise, Henry Brougham would not have
been in Parliament ?—(Cheers.) Does the Hon.
Gentleman forget that Henry Brougham—who, if
he did not possess the power to disfranchise those
boroughs, I am sure had the will—even with thing's
as they are, was called forward by the people of the
gr,atest county in the kingdom, and unanimously
chosen their representative /—(Cheers.) Does the
lion. Gentleman mean to ray, after this, that we
should not disfranchise those boroughs, which, I re-
peat, I abominate, because they are the only places
which able and honourable men can represent ? As
a man of small fortune, and unconnected with the
Arietocracy, has no chance to sit for large towns or
counties, where he is to be placed ? The consequence
is that, according to the present system, men of talent
and integrity must either sit for close boroughs
or not be returned at all. Fox, Sheridan, Pitt,
and Canning, sat for such boroughs.—(llear, from'
Mr. Liddell.) But, I say, that if there were a re-'
formed House of Commons-4f the country were"
fairly represented, we should have men of splendid
talents and character returned to Parliament, witli-
out truckling to the great dealers in rotten boroughe;
—(Cheers.) I repeat, it is disgraceful to them tei'"
carry on that trade—for it is a trade-rand 'an abeit.z
minable 'one. Smuggling is bad w ; but this is orst
than imugglinge;-(Cheers.) We are told that
poachers are abominable persons; but they are no*
thing to the borough-mongers. Poachers have den!.
inge which certainly are contrary to law ; but these
borougleanongers set out with assuming the right to
deal in the rights and liberties of other men.—
(Cheers.) Yet the Right Hon. Gentleman has
asked for compensation for them I Compensation,
indeed I Compensation for what ? . Compensation
for having ruined us ? Compensation for having re-
due d us to the last extremity ?. Compensation for
having enriched themselves ?—thotigh I believe they
miscalculated therebut they attempted to do it—
at the expense of the industry, labour, and comforts
of the people at large ?—(Cheers.)—Are they to be
compensated for. this? I say they may thank the
kindness and: coniideration of their countrymen if
they estape
:Without compensation of another kind.
—(Laughter; and 'cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman
has talked of chattered rights. How those close
boroughs were founded I will not inquire, though I
should Lave no difficulty in showing (if I were di-
posed to enter into the details,) that they were not
intended to be such originally, stud have. only
become what they are through degeneracy and coo.
ruption. It is true they stand upon the law of the
country ; but is that any reason why they should
not be altered ? The slavesdealers held the same
language; they told us they had chartered. rights
and Acts of Parliament in their timer. But they
were taught at last, by the people of England—who,
I trust, will teach the lesson still further—that they
had a right to alter the laws when they found they
were oppressive, unjust, and absurd.--(Cheers.)—
Though the sanction of the law may screen the
possessors of such rights, is that any reason why
it should not be altered ? Because it is the law.
to-day, is it to be the law always ? I really cannot
.lielp.thieking that this is an argument unworthy of
the good sense and manly feeling of the Honourable
Gentleman. If he mean merely to give Represents.
Lives to a few large towns, and to leave the. bo-
roughs untouched, I say that is not such a Reform
as I should call temperate; for it would be little or
no Reform at all—it would be a mere palliative, in-
tended to put off, but not to cure.--(Loud cheers.)
But we are also told that Reform should be gra-.
dual. If the Honourable Gentleman means that
we should give time to the king, Lords, and Corn-
mons to prepare and pass the 13111, I agree with
him--(Laughter)--but they have no time to lose.
No, they must do it its fast as they can; whether
to-day or to-morrow, Ido not say, but after it was
proposed, 1 would not allow them many days, for I
am quite sure they cannot do it too soon,—(Cheers
mil laughter.) I agree that the Reform should be
temperate ; that is, free from violence; but I would
have it steady, firm, and determined, and would not
stop till every independent person in the country
\V 11 s entitled to vote for representatives of the people.
I mean, that all persons who are independent and not likely to be influenced by others, should have
the right of voting, that it should be as fres and ex.
weir° as possible,end exercised as speedily, and is
such small districts as would prevent men from thrase»
ing away their money. The Hon. Gentleman has
quoted some foreign language, probably Welch—.
( Laughter)—to tell us that he had experienced the
effects of the present system in that respect; and
we are obliged to him for explaining to us, that the
persons who supported him in Northumberland con-
ducted themselves properly with respect to bribes.
But has be shown us that there was no corruption
in the lute county elections—that no one me or
drank on such occasions at the expence of the cen-
didetes—that no agents were paid—that no persons
were carried in chaises, carriages, or other vehicles,
who were not accustomed to be seen in such
fine things?--(Laughter,) And does he mean to
say that this does not constitute a species otcorrup-
tion ? When a county election cost thirty, forty, or
fifty thousand pounds, and when such an expendi-
ture is nn essential ingredient in making a Member
of Parliament, does he mean to tell us, that this does
not hinder the free exercise of the privileges of
Englishmen, by continuing there presentation to per-
sona of large prospects, and that it is not another
instance of Parliamentary corruption ? I say it is,
and one of the worst kind; for the system of the
representation should be such that every men' of
character, talent, and integrity, however smelt his
fortune, should have an opportunity of oiler-
ing himself to his countrymen.—(Cheers.)-11
that the case now ? No man can now contest a
county or a large town, without incurring an enor-
mous expence, or, as bus lately been seen at Liver-
pool, without the most gross corruption ; such as
is constantly, indeed, witnessed at many places--
Berwick and Carlisle, for instance. And if a pits
son is not inclined, or is unable to conform to those
practices, his only alternative is to throw himself
upon those worthy wholesale dealers who bring
their seats to market. I say again, that be he who
he may—be be a Whig or be be a Tory—for I care
nothing about names—the HMO who clods in Par-
liamentary corruption, if it were not senctioned by
custom, would heap disgrace end contempt upon
himself; for nothing but custom can induce any one
to think that right which is in itself substantially
wrong—which is bottomed in corruption, and in the
teeth of every thing like liberty and independence.
--s(Loud cheers.)--.The Hon. Gentleman has alto-
gether misrepresented my argument, and was not
acting with his usual candour, when he charged me
with having stigmatized such men as Mr.lbeugharn

vocated by any man.
The CHAIRMAN thought Mr, Macleod out of
prder, and recommended closer adherence to the
laubject.
Mr. MACLEOD concluded by observing, as the
Bench of ,bishops were not to be touched for the
present—es they were to be tolerated a short time
longer, he would thank the meeting for the hearing
they hag giien him, and sat down, after stipulating

The third. resolution was then put, and carried
unanimously.
Mr. ATTwoort, after stating himself strongly in
favour of the ballot, as the only means by which a
man could vote with security according to his con-
science, concluded by -rpading:the resolution.
'Mr. J. Fits seconded thC resolutim, and trusted
the interested would save their order by abandoning
the usurped rights of the people before they were

lot, and took a review of its progress in America,
where it had been uniformly. successful, and con-
cluded by observing, that he for one. would confide
to the last in the present Administration—till the
wretched conviction to the contrary was forced upon
him. lie still hoped to see Earl Grey the deliverer
of iris country and the bulwark of its liberties.—The
resolution was carried unanimously.
"Mr. MacknNztu said he had no intention of
throwing the bone of contention among reformers,
especially in a meeting where so much bad been
done fer unanimity, but he was desirous, as one of
the Representatives for Newcastle was present, that
he should not rettirn to the House of Commons
with a false impression on his mind. Without the
ballot, lie would say that all Reform was a mere
mockery. Mr. M. concluded by reviewing the suc-
cess-which had attended the ballot iu America, and
trusting that Mr. Hodgson and the other gentlemen
present might carry away with them a strong convic-
tion of the necessity for its adoption.
Mr..). U. •WRIGHT said, it would he incumbent
on him to make a few observations; although, after
the luminous and comprehensive speeches the meet-
ing had heard, it would not be necessary for him to
enter at length into the question of Parliamentary
Reform.

Mr. WILKINSON said, with regard to the system
of boroughs, he trusted that the time was at hand
when the Leviathan would be made to shake in his
den; and, after deploring the excesses which had
been committed in other parts of the country, anti
which he attributed solely to the degradation anti
misery to which misrule had ground down the pea-
santry, concluded, by congratulating the meeting on
the unanimity which had been displayed, and second-
in the resolution which was carried unanimously.
Mr. AMMITIRONG moved that the resolutions just

by Mr. CIIMINLEV, and carried unanimously.
Mr. HODGSON said, that with regard to the re-

taking the votes in different parts of the county; but
in towns he thought it would be more difficult, for
he was orris Ming to deprive any man of the rights
he already possessed. lie thought, for instance, that
it would be hard to deprive a non-resident freeman
of Newcastle of the right of voting there, without
enabling him to vote where he resided.--(Applause.)
On the subject of ballot, he was aware that what be

open to conviction, and if he heard arguments to
satisfy his mind upon the point he would readily

PitENCH PAPERS.

(From the Messayer des Chambres, dated Dec. 25.)

Penis, Dec. 23.—The King, flillowed by a nume-
rous staff, has visited to-day the 12 arrondissements of
Paris, to review at cessively each of the legions of the
National Guard, It is Impossible to describe the enthu-
vialm which manifeated itself wherever he passed, and the
sentiments expressed by the !Ninth:mai Guards in their noisy
and patriotic acclamations. The union of the King anti
his people, founded on the laws and nn liberty, had per-
haps never befbre displayed itself with such a lively and
unanknous explosion.
Letters from St. Petersburgh on the Bth of December
announce, that as soon us the news of the insurrection in
Warsaw was spitad in the capital of Russia, a violent irri-
tation manifested itself among the young men, and that in
A short time 20,000 inscribed their names to make part
of the army which the Government intends to send to
Poland..

WA FISAW, 9.—The Polish army now amount► to
140,000 men : via. 45,000 regular troops, 20,000 die.
banded soldier., who again take up arms, and nearly
80,000 recruits,

On the ad instant, a deputation from the Polish corps
played at the barrier called the Moscow barrier, consisting
of General Mulberg, and Lieutenant. Colonel Wylezynsky,
waited on General Chlopieki, offering him troops for the
defence of the Polish cause.

EPERN.AY (MARNE), Dxc. 21.---A riot has taken
place at Epernay, where a great number of factious per-
sons went to the house of the receiver of the indirect taxes,
broke open the door, carried away the account-books,
papers, and furniture, and burnt them in the market.
place. They were going to proceed in the same manner
at the hence of the inspector, but the sub. Prefect, the
Mayor, and some citizens, succeeded in dispersing the mob.
The National Guard was not assembled. Vine-dressers,
who belong to it, are among the rioters.

Tocnousa, Dac. 15.—From the 26th of November to
the 14th of December, about 700 Spanish refugees, of
whom 110 were officers, travelling singly, or in detach-
ments, and coming from the four departments of the
Eastern Pyrenees the Arriege, and the Aude, successively
passed through the departments of the upper Garonne, to
go to Bruges or to 'Limoges. Most of them were obliged
to atop one or several (lays at Toulouse, either to take
some rest, or to receive the allowance made them for the
expences on the journey.
Provisions were every where given to "them, and lodg-
ings assigned them, and the pr(senee of those foreigners
(lid not any where cause any disorder.

ExcnAi•oa Or PARIS, DEC. 23.—The funds at the
opening were very high, but those prices, evidently exag-
gerated, induced several sales, which speedily caused a de-
cline.

Another cause of the decline was, the news that was
spread of a change in the Ministry, of which it was stated
Messrs. Lafitte and Sehastiani would cease to form part,
and which would be followed by the nomination of Messrs.
Mauguin ard Wilton Barrot, A great deal of business
was done, and twiny purchasers availed themselves of the
higir prices to liquidate their operations. Several new
bankruptcies were announced, and the commercial crisis
does not yet seam on the point of terminating.
PA ma, Dxc. 24.—The report spread on 'Change yester-
day, respecting a modification of the Council is wholly un-
founded. We have positive information that there is no
idea of changing any of the present Ministry.
(From Gulignani's Messenger.)

The St. Peleraburoh Journal of the 19th publishes an
extraordinary supplement, which, after giving the details
respecting the insurrection at Warsaw which our readers
are already in possession of, concludes as follows :—" Up
to the moment of the departure of these accounts from the
Grand Duke Const intim!, all the Acts of the Adminis-
tration of Warsaw were issued in the name of his Im-
perial Majesty, in which several persons had been invited
by the local authorities to concur: those persons would
not have accepted any office which they were not to exer-
cise in the name of the Emperor. Immediately after this
distressing intelligence arrived, his Imperial Majesty de-
-1 termined to adopt the most decisive and severe measures
to stifle the rebellion and restore tranquillity. The entire
body of the army of Lithuania has conequently received
orders to enter Poland without delay. The first corps of
infantry and the third corps of cavalry in reserve are ad-
vancing towards the frontiers of the kingdom, and will
take up a position that will enable them to support offen-
sive operations, if it becomes necessary to have recourse to
them. The infantry thus drawn from the west will be
replaced by other regiments from the interior."
The following intelligence from Warsaw is of the 9th
inst. ;—" It was not till the 4th inst. that the Grand Duke
Constantine quitted the environs of Warsaw, having with
him about 8,000 men. On the same day a division of
the corps of students on hor,eback set out in great haste
for the fortress of Modlin. A multitude of volunteers are
arriving at Warsaw from all quarters. The Polish forces
are computed at 145,000 men,—namely, 45,000 regular
troops; 20,000 discharged soldiers again called under
arms, and 80,000 of troops newly organized. Prince
Tamayski is arming all the peasants on his estates. All
persons who have supplies of sulphur, saltpetre, and lead,
have been solicited to deliver them to the Government.—
General Wolicki, who bad been sent by General Chlopieki
on the other side of the Vistula, to remove all obstacles
that the Poles might throw in the way of the Grand Duke
Con,tantinew retreat, met the Prince on his return, at the
Abbey of Sieciechow, near Pulawy, on the sth, and hail'
an interview with him. On the 3d a deputation from the
Polish corps, stationed at the Moscow barrier, waited on
the Commander-in-Chief, Chlopieki, to offer him that
corps fur the defence of the cause of Poland. The
Dictator has appointed M. Bonaventure Niemejewski
to the post of Minister of Justice ; the Counsellor
of State, Plater, is to supersede the present Minister
of the Finances. Messrs. Lubecki and Ostrowaki, mem.
hers ef the Provisional Government, have set out for St.
Peteraburgh. General Woyezyinski is appointed Gene-
ralissimo of the National Guard.. The Princess de
Lowicz, consort of the Grand Duke, was seised with in-
disposition upon her arrival at Gniewossow. The entire
frontiers of Russia are clotted. —At the first news of the
insurrection, the Russian General Rosen took measures to
concentrate his forces, but a few days after he received
orders to leave the troops in their garrisons at Geode° and
Bialystock. The Warsaw papers publish several orders
o. the day, joule(' by General Chlopieki, two of which
contain promotions in favour of some young soldiers who
particularly distinguished themselves during the late everts.
General Prince Adam of Wirtemburg, and his Aide.de-
Camp, Baron de Billow Gebhaw, have resigned. The
ganison of Lamosc have surrendered to the Polish troops.
The town of Lublin has also made common cause with
tke Poles. The towns of \Vsrsaw, Praga, Modlin, and
Zamora are about to he put into a state of defense. A
plan for the purpose has been presented by the engineer
and artillery committee. The Bishop of Pluck, President
of the Section of E,cc!esiartical Affairs, has addressed a
pastoral letter to all the Bishops of the kingdom, in which
he recommends prayers for the nation and the new Polish
authorities."

A private letter from Frankfort of the 19th says that
the Emperor was to take his departure for Poland on the
6th, and it was reported that the Grand Duke Constan-
tine, finding it impossible to pass the Vistula, on account
of the ice, had retired from its hanks, and shut himself
and his troops up in a fortress. But supposing this fact
to be true, the Russians must shortly he compelled to sur-
render, from want of provisions and forage. All the
Berlin letters agree in affirming that the King of Prussia
hat resolved to maintain peace. On this subject the fol.
lowing anecdote is in circulation :.... At a family dingier,
the Princess Albert threw herself at the feet of the King,
and supplicated him to stimulr her father, the King of
the Netherlands, at the same time urging the ties of affi-
nity by which they were united. Frederick William raised
her up, saying that monarchs ought not to be ruled by
their feelings of kindred, but by the interests ofitheir king.
dons. Other members of the Royal family having sub.
sequently joined their instances to those of the Princess
Albert, the King abruptly left the room in evident dis•
pleasure, and a short time afterwards a person in the con-
lidence of hi; Majesty was directed by him to intimate to
the Princes and Princesses the King's most positive in-
junction that similar subject; should never be renewed.
The Augsburph Gazette contains the following, dated
Berlin, Dec. 12 By letters, which have reached us
toAay from Posen it appears, that the Landwebr of the
Grand Duchy, belonging to eke first class, have marched
for Glogan. The greatest tranquillity still prevails there.
Several personages of the revolutieseary parry have, how-
ever, set out for Warsaw, for which journey the Prussian
authorities did not refuse them passports. It is reported
that two regiments, Emperor Alexander and Emperor
Francis, which are in garrison here, are to march towards
the eastern frontiers, and that General, Gneisenan will
have the chief command between the Elbe and the Vistula.
It is added that Duke Charles of Mecklenburgh will sup-
ply the place of Prince William, his Majesty's breither,
who is indisposed, in the command on the Rhine. The
Premiere and Russian finale rose yesterday, a proof that
hopes of peace are entertained on 'Change."
Extract of a private letter from Berlin, dated Dec.l6 :
Yesterday it was rumoured that the Emperor Nicholas

on the first intelligence of the events in Poland, formed
the heroic resolution of repairing to Warsaw, accompa-
nied by only two Aides. de-camp. Today we learn with
more certainty that his Majesty is about to put himself at
the head of his armies to reduce the rebels. Upon thin
news the shares of the Polish loan declined three dollars
each. It is added that the Guards had t eceived orders to
march towards the frontiers of Poland. The day of the
Emperor's departure is not fixed. A report is current
that the Grand Duke Constantine, finding it impossible
to lead the remains of the Itussian troops beyond the
frontiers of Poland, had left them, to put his own per-
son in safety. It is feared that the Russians, pressed by
the want of provisions, will be forced to surrender at dis-
cretion."

The following is dated from Rome, Dec. 5 :—" Yester-
'day the Cardinals assembled at the Palace of the Vatican,
where they held the first congregation. M. Polidor,
Secretary of the Sacred College, read the Papal Bulls upon
the Conclave and the vacancy of the Holy S,T, and all the
Cardinals made oath to observe them. The prelate Zucchi,
in the presence of the Cardinals, broke the annulus pis-
catnri of the late Pope ; at the same time he broke the
leaden seal of the Apostolic Chancery. The boxes of peti-
tions and briefs were delivered up sealed. The Prelate
Capelleti was confirmed in the post of Governor of Rome,
and took the oath. M. Camilius di Petro was chosen to
pronounce the funeral oration of the late Pope, and M.
Mai to deliver the oration upoa the election of the new
Pope. Cardinals G deal, Odescalchi, and Rivarola, were
nominated to make the arrangements for the conclave. As
the Cardinals who are legates will have to leave thrir legs-
gationa to come to the conclave, four pro-legates were ap-
pointed for Bologna, Ferrara, Furli, and Ravenna. After
the Congregation, the Cardinals proceeded to the Sixtine
Chapel, where the body of the late Pope was lying in
state, and, preceded by all the clergy of the church of St.
Peter, they accompanied the body, which was carried into
that church amidst the Gardes-Nobles and Swiss. M.
della Porta, Vicegerent of Rome, performed the absolution,
and the Cardinals retired. The body was carried to the
chapel of the Holy Sacrament, and deposited within the
railing in such a manner that the faithful could approach
it and kiss the feet."

" By letters from Rome," says the Tribune, "we are
assured, in the most positive manner, that the majority of
the Cardinals appear decided to vote for Cardinal Feech,
Archbishop of Lyons, and uncle of Napoleon."
We hear that the votes upon the sentence of the Ex-
Ministers were divided as follows:.—There were 156
votes. M. de Polignae-128 votes for transportation, the
rest for imprisonment, except four Peers, who wished for
the application of capital punishment. At the first ballot,
it is said, there were eight, namely, one Duke, one Mar-
quis, five Counts, and one Baron. It has been remarked
that none of them pronounced the fatal word. The vote
was expressed by this formula—" The severest puniah-
ment provided by the Penal Code." M. de Peyronnet-
-87 votes for imprisonment for life, and 68 for transporta-
tion ; one vote for imprisonment for a time. M. de
Chantelause, 138 votes for imprisonment for life, and 14
for transportation, and four for imprisonment for a time.
M. Guernon de Ranville-140 votes for imprisonment for
life, and 16 for transportation.
During the trial which has just terminated, Madame de
Polignac threw herself at the feet of the King and Queen.
She wished, she said, to go with her chibiren into the
midst of the people, to supplicate the widows and orphans
of July to prevent those disastrous days from adding to the
number of widows and orphans.—Le Globe.
On Thursday General Pajol, General Fahvler, the
Colonels of the National Guards, Dr. Dubois, and Dept'.
Lotions of the Polytechnic Schoel,and the Schools of Law
and Medicine, had the honour to dine with the King and
Royal Family. Yesterday the King transacted business
with the Minister of the Interior. In the course of the
day the King descended into the great court, and re•
viewed the National Guards. His Majesty was greeted
with reiterated acclamations. The Queen attended Divine
Service at the church of St. Roch.

The Gazette de France of Friday evening has the
following :—" The proposition made in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day by M. Boissy d'Anglas, wag an act of
hostility on the part of the majority against Ministers,
which only missed its aim by the standing orders being
invoked. The object of this proposition was not only to
vote an addiess to the sing expressive of sentiments of
attachment and fidelity, but to manifest the desire of an
inquiry being instituted to ascertain the real cause of the
disorder that took place in the capital on the 20th, 21st,
and 22d inst., and to carry back this inquiry to the events
of October. If rumours that were afloat during the
sitting are to be believed, this proposition was power-
fully supported in the Committees, where it was
considered as embracing the future of the Chamber
and the Ministry which recent events appear to have di-
vided. M. Agier's speech soon came to explain the object of
this proposition. lie urged the Government to attack
the men who cause disorder, whatever might be their
rank or station in society. The revelations of the tri-
bune thus enable every body to penetrate into the secret
of the agitation which manifested itself: they teach us
that the Ministry has lost the majority, and that in con-
sequence of the crisis which has just take place, it is
bound by promises to the extreme gauche. It is doubtful
whether the explanations and omissions of the President
of the Council, notwithstanding the concurrence of the
Chamber, will induce M. Boissy d'Anglas to withdraw
his proposition."
A private letter of the 17th inst. from Toulon says—
Orders have been given to supply this town with a suffi-
cient quantity of corn, flour, wine, and brandy, to sup.
port for several months a corps of 40,000 or .bO,OOO
nice. Ships arrive daily with corn, which is stored in
the Government and private storehouses. The regi-
ments are being carried to their full complement ; the
definitive organization of the National Guard is hastening;
and every thing seems to tend towards preparations for
defence against an aggression which is not wished for,
but it is far from being feared.
The general and superior officers of the navy, resident
or on leave of absence at Paris, assembled on Wednesday,
at the office of the Minister of the Marine, to receive the
orders of the Minister, and held themselves in ?earliness to
offer their services to the King,—Moniteur.
The National Guards of Versailles, and, in fact, of all
the surrounding departments, held themselves in readiness
to march to the aid of the citizens of Paris, in defending
the king, the laws, and public order, during the trial of
the Ex• Ministers; and, as early as the 12th instant, ar-
rangements were made by the Prefect to send reinforce-
ments at a moment's notice.

A deputation of eight members of the Society Aide•toi,
r,quested on Thursday to be admitted to an audience of the
King, to present to him an address praying that the Cham-
ber of Deputies may he dissolved immediately, and that the
Chamber of Peers may be annihilated. The deputation
was received and introduced to the King by M. Laborde,
We have not heard what answer his Majesty has returned
to this extremely modest request.
By a Royal ordinance M. Felix Faure has been ap-
pointed President of the Royal Courts of Grenoble in the
room of M. de Chantelauze.

Three Electoral Colleges, we hear, will shortly be

(Extract from the Journal du Commerce of Saturday.)

The meeting of the young men of the three schools
which was announced for yesterday (Friday), took place
at the Pantheon. The assembly consisted of 2,000 sta.
dents, without including the pupils of the Polytechnic
School. It is asserted that an address was voted to the
Chamber of Deputies, and a declaration, which will, it is
said, be inserted in several journals.

We have thin moment received copies of the two pro-
testations of the Schools of Law and Medicine. The ori-
ginals contain so many signatures that it is impossible to
put them in a journal.

ritOTIVITATION or VIZ scrroot, or MIMICINt.
In the days of July, the School of Medicine, united to
the other schools, fought against tyranny, Some of its
members purchased with their blood and their lives the
popular and republican laws that the son of July was to
bring forth. Thu School accepts and claim; the reapon.
sibility of all the proclamations, in which it, 1141118 is to
he found, and it loudly disclaims the anti-national accla-
'nations of the centre of the Chamber of Deputies. We
have voted these proclamations, we vote them again.
Cowards alone disavow their actions and deny their words.

rROTESTATION or MR SCHOOL OF LAW.
The schoo'a have been calumniated; they have been ac-
cused of wishing to place themselves at the head of the
promoters of troubles, and of desiring to obt iin, by brutal
force, the consegeences of the principle conseetated loy our
blood. We have protested solemnly, and we, who
paid
o without which there is
inlin readyg ly,have mousypre
preached
etdiviptu liberty which granted unwil-
lingly, ,
no liberty. But did we do so to excite the thanks and the
chipping of hands in the Chamber of Deputies ? No, we
fulfilled a duty. Ali without doubt we should be proud
of the thanks of France; but it is in vain that we seek
France in. the Chamber of Deputies, and we refuse the

praises bestowed on condition of disavowing proc'anl atioos
the terms and the spirit of which we declare that we adopt
in the most absolute manner.

This morning the treater part of the pupils of the Po-
lytechnic School, at present in Paris, came to the resolu-
tion of refusing the thanks voted by the Chamber of De-
puties; the resolution is as follows
" A portion of the Chamber of Deputies has conde-
scended to vote thanks to the Polytechnic School, upon
facts very ' faithfully reported. These facts we partly
deny—we, the pupils of the said school,--and we will
not azcept their thanks. Our profession of faith is that
which the balls of July imprinted upon tyrants, that
proclaimed by the generosity of the people, and the
magic order established after three days of universal cam-
, motion. We comprehend the necessity of this order, which
appeared to give way to a last cry of vengeance, which
generosity stifles with difficulty after so, much modera-
tion. We all strove vi maintain it by persuasion, and
by reasoning frankly with the most agitated amongst the
crowds. They heard as well as we did from the voice of
friends, that the promises made at the Hotel de Ville
should not be forgotten, and this popular, throne, with re-
publican institutions, should be a truth. Time is neces-
sary, without doubt, to bring projects to maturity; but
five months have lapsed since the setting of the sun of
July. Every citizen expects daily that he will be repre-
sented in a Chamber where his interests are discussed,
and he is not yet represented there. The natural right
which be eonquered,—the right of being one in the state,
—was not disputed in the great week, since he was
allowed the right of electing a Sovereign. This is his
first claim ; this natural and republican institution has
been promised ; and he has again withdrawn, as on the
great evening, with calmness and confidence. Too happy
with our comrades of the other schools, in being the in-
terpreters of the men of liberty in their communications
with the people, we spoke publicly in the proclamation
signed by four pupils in the name of their comrades,
which is disavowed, it is said, but which was voted
amidst acclamations by the greater number of pupils.
Such is the fact. Let the project of thanks be again pre-
sented ; let the same Deputies exclaim a second time no,
and we will say to them we thank you !"
