Commons ; but he hoped that the electors wt ted
have two doors in that House, that they might
with boldness walk in at the one, and come out of
the other with confidence. To Mr. Adam Smith,—
for his attention to the interests of Rye, and fer his
exertions in a canvass for his brother,—thanks were
due. He was active, honest, and sincere, and had
been well received by the people of Rye. He had
shaken hands with the ladies, and wen the men's
hearts. Ile (Mr. Ellenden) would not say that be
had shook hands with the men and won the ladies'
hearts, because that might mAke the husbands jea-
lous.—(Braro.) He had the honour of proposing
the health of Adam Smith, Esq.
Mr. SMITH said, I think the drinking of to ists
hen,fieial; because I do not think that they neces-
sarily lead to bacchanalian orgies. They stimulate
the independent mind. They compensate for past
and excite to future exertion. I have no title to nc-
tice for past services, but your kind attention shall
stimulate me to future efforts.,-.-(Applause.) My
father having been in Parliament for some years, and
having canvassed the City of Norwich with him
and for him several times, I have had some little
experience of this sort ; but I never made a canvass
which yielded ?ale more gratification than I have felt
in the last two days while eanvassh, this free and
emancipated borough. I did shake ands with the
fair burgesses—they received me with an excess of
cordiality, as did also the electors who freely said
• that my brother should have their suffrages. I no
longer wondered at the enthusiasm of the men,
when I became acquainted with the patriotic spirit
of the women, who are always hO ready and wil,
ling to exert their just influence in behalf of hitina-
nity and freedom.—(Cheers.) I thank you most
cordially, and beg, in return, to propose " The In-
dependent Ladies of Rye"—three times three—
cavalry charge. _ .

Colonel EVA-s then proposed the health of the
Chairman, com►nenting on his many good qualities.

Mr. CHAMBERLAYWE said, that he rose under
considerable embarrassment, having never before
addressed a public meeting. He thanked his friends
for the distinetion, to which he certainly did not
think himself entitled, having only been an inhabiA
taut of Rye eight years ; but long before he came to
that town, he was sensible of the destructive influ-
ence to rotten boroughs; and he was sorry to say
that too many counties withered under the same
baneful influence. --(Hear, licar.)This would con-
tinue to be the ease so long as landowners would
cringe to the grandees of the church. These grail.
dees wallowed in wea!th, while the working clergy,
who had to appear as gentlemen, starved on the
paltry pittance they received. So lung as that
lasted, he could not hope for a fair representation in
Parliament. alluded not to the clergy of Rye,
He had felt the oppression for years. In many
counties he had seen both Members returned by the
influence of the church ; but they invariably re-
turned one. And this arose because the landowners
compounded with the parson, end fancied that he
saved a trifle in his tithes; but let the parson take
his due in kind, and a bad harvest or two would let
him into the secret. Formerly the clergy were only
entitled to a tenth; but now their rapacity was not
content with less than a fifth, This would not be
reformed until the people were represented in Par-
liament. It would be as just for his Hon. Friend to
hold three Lieut.-Colonelcies, as it was for one par-
son to hold three livings.—(Bravo.)—Such an
abuse was not allowed in the army,—why, then,
should it exist in the church ? He should be most
happy to see a county club formed, which would,
in his opinion, check the power which was now so
mischievously exercised. He hoped yet to see a
just appropriation of the church property.—(Cheers.)
Mr. BLUNDELL proposed the health of the De-
puty Chairman, Mr, Hicks, who briefly returned
thanks.

Mr. KENNETT rose to propose a toast, in the
praise of which the eloquence of all great men had
heel exhausted. Fearing to detract from its merits
by his inefficiency, he Would without further pre-
face propose " The Pre,s,—the great orgen of civia
lization and the dread of tyrants,—coupled with the
health of Messrs. Cohen and Leggatt, and thanks
to them for their attendance."

Mr. COHEN returned thanks at some length, and
remarked on the pretensions of the present candi-
dates for the county, and on what were the prospects
regarding its future representation. He alluded to
the circumstances under which Mr. Compton Caven-
dish unexpectedly withdrew from the last contest.—
thereby throwing the county into the hands of
Messrs, Burrell and Curteis,—and expressed an
opinion that a member of the Cavendish family
would eventually come forward, to whom the pre-
sent candidates might be expected to give place.

Mr. SAMUEL MILLER observed thtdit had always
been said by the Corporation that they would be
willing to give privileges to the freemens if their
right to them could be established. They gave a
pledge to this effect, which however they disregarded.
By so doing, they merited the scorn and:reprobation
of their fellows. There were exceptions,—and
those individuals were entitled to respect. He
should propose " The health of all the old freemen,
who bad recognised the rights of their fellow-
citizens."

The CHAIRMAN then proposed the following
toast—at The health of our opponents in the great
cause ; and may their furure conduct reconcile all
differences, so that we may enjoy each other's
esteem and friendship!'
Mr. CHARLES IliCks said that as he had a very
long sentiment to propose, he would make compen-
sation by making a very short speech. Ile proposed
" The inhabitants of the Cinque Ports, ancient
tdlktiPi and their members; and may they enjoy the
rights and privileges granted to their ancestors by
Royal Charter, and of which many of them have
been most unjustly deprived by artful and designing
Men for the very worst of purposes." Drunk with en-
thusiasm. The tune was very apposite—" Turn the
rogues out."
Mr. ADAM SMITH begged to add to the toast the
maid of as independent and honourable a man as
ever lived. lie vvould name Mr. Townahend, of
Hastings.
Mr. TOWNSHEND returned thanks. lie saida*
" when I turn from-the packed junta at the Town-
hall and behold this goodly assembly, how glorious
is the contrast. Those walls will 'ere long see the
difference between the minions of power and men
who hate fought for and who duly appreciate liberty,
the result of a hard-fought battle. That hall which
till now has only vibrated to the small, still

Rye, on your signal success. I rejoice in your as-

only useful to yourselves, but they will not fail to
rouse the dormant energies of men of other towns.
I rejoice

There
l'ilitS a time when the altar of liberty wa:
reared, and, a host of men willingly poured out their
blood in defence of freedom. When the charm of
life was at stake, husbands and fathers dissolved
the ties of nature and embarked in the cause of
freedom. In that sacred cause, Russell sacrificed
the wife of his bosom; and when about to suffer,
he exclainsed,—(c I bequeath my wife and children.
to my country and to my God." His heroic reso-
lution endeared him to every true patriot, and his
worth was embalmed in the memory of mankind.
The noble example thus set should excite men to
deeds of courage. The rotten boroughs were the
curse of this country, and no opportunity should

Mr. EDWARD CHATTERTON jut,. proposed '6 The
Independent Electors of s.lisst‘x ;" after which the
Chairman retired from the scene of festivity and
the company dispersed to their respective homes.

The next day Col. Evans met the electors at the
Red Lion Inn, where, on the motion of Mr. Hol-
loway, it was carried by acclamation " that the
lion. Member should receive the support of the
independent electors whenever the occasion should
arrive." At one o'clock, the gallant Colonel re-
turned to town to attend his Parliamentary duties;
every man betook himself to his daily ocmpatbat ;
haliners and emblems, and the other demonArations
ofjoy disappeared, and the town resumed its wonted
stillness.

FRENCH PAPERS.

" TdOLM:, JUNE Is.—Two divisions of the ISth
Regiment of the Line, under the command of Col.
Fitz-James, have arrived in the neighbourhood of
Toulon. This regiment forms part of the Ist 13ri-
gade of the 4th Division of the Army of Reserve :
they are quartered at Seine, °Mottles, and other
neighbouring villages.

" It is reported that Tahir-Pacha is greatly an-
noyed with the ill-success of his mission I he would
rather be Dry of Algiers than a simple Admiral on
board a frigate, and guarded at Toulon like a state
prisoner. He says he has been betrayed by the
English, who pfomised to remove all obstacles that
might prevent his entering Algiers. However, we
are assured that the difficalties he has to encounter
have not decreased his confidence; that he has for-
warded to the French Government his nomination
as Pacha of Algiers, signed by the Grand Seignior,
and asks to be immediately recognised as such, and
to enter into a treaty of peace. But it is now too
late: the principal thing for Tahir-Pacba was to
succeed in getting into Algiers. Master of the
place, and offering every satisfaction that France re-
quired, he could greatly embarrass the Govern-
ment. In allowing himself to be :lopped by the
blockading squadron, he has failed in a project
which was not ill contrived. While he is losing his
time at Toulon, the French have landed in Africa:
satisfaction and arrangements ran no longer be
spoken of : the mission of Tahir-Pacha is at an end,
and nothing now remains for him to do but to re-
turn to those who sent him, and to consider. his
embassy as not having ever taken place.—Courier
Francais.

" ANCoNA, JUNE 7.—lntelligence brought by the
captains of vessels states that an insurrection has
been put down at Samos, but that disturbances have
broken out in several parts of Greece, and tkat the
President has great difficulty in maintaining good
order. It appears that the uncertainty of the future
fate of Greece has caused a feeling of irritation to
show itself, dangerous to public tranquillity. It is
said that respect for the Grecian Government de-
creases daily, because the leaders of the different
parties having nothing more to expect from it, have
recourse to new intr►gues, either by taking advan-
tage of a momentary disorder to exercise extortions,
or by endeavouring to get into the new Govern-
ment so as to enrich themselves by its influence.
Nothing could have been more injurious to Greece
than such a long continuance of negotiations upon
its political exi.tenee. It is now two years since the
evacuation of the Morea and since the cessation of
open hostilities between the Turks and Greeks.
These last, however, have not enjoyed the benefit
of peace, as they expected. The regeneration of
this unfortunate country, divided by party spirit, ap-
pears still to be far off; and this state of things,
disastrous for the whole .nation, will weigh down
still longer upon Greece, as the choice of the new
Sovereign is still undetermined, and as it appears
that Capo d'lstrias will not obtain it, but on the
contrary desires to withdraw from political life as
soon as he can. At least the letters from Corfu speak
of it with a great deal of assurance, and add, that
the three mediating Powers will soon be obliged to
send trOope to Greece, to preserve the country from
the greatest evils. Thus the affairs of this country
are not terminated, and appear rather to call for the
attention of the three Powers.— Universe'.
" The Marquis de Fitz James embarked at Toulon
on the 9th instant, on beard the Armide frigate,
with despatches from the Prince de Polignac for the
Count de Bourmont.

" The Semaphore of Marseilles says—l The Cap-
tain of the pscket which plies between Algiers and
Alicant arrived at the latter place on the 28th ult.,
after a passage of three days. He gives an account
of the shipwreck of the two Firench brigs, and adds
that a barge manned by fifty men, sect by the
French commander to reconnoitre the port of Al-
giersl has been taken by the Turks, and all the men
beheaded. Three brigs, one Spanish, another Eng-
lish, and the third American, were in the roadstead
at the disposal of their Consuls, who are still pre-
vented departing by the Dey. They are guarded by
a numerous body of troops at a country house Dear
the town, whither they sometimes go, attended by
the same guards. An Austrian frigate was cruising
at the entrance of the port.'

" The Aviso of Toulon announces, that efforts
have been made to save the cargo of the transport
vessel which took fire and was sunk in the roadstead
of Hyeres. On the 14th instant, about 100 galley
convicts were sent on board for the purpose of
saving what could be saved; but it appears that
these workmen paid themselves by securing a variety
of slicks, such as utensils, the contents of boxes
and casks of sugar, butter, honey, &c., which the
fire had not consumed. A great number of casks,
containing biscuits were entirely destroyed. The
rest of the cargo consisted of teats, iron bedsteads,
and other articles. The Aviso also states, after a
letter of the lith instant, from the bay of Palma,
that a disaster has happened to a transport vessel
with horses on board. It appeared that the deck
fell in, and crushed the horses to death. Fortu-
nately none of the men were hurt.
" A letter from Toulon states, that Government
are freighting at this moment at Marseilles, about
40 transport vessels to convey troops to Navarin,
to relieve the garrison at that town. It is thought
that the 18th and 64th Regiments of the Line w'll
be embarked on board these vessels. This letter
adds that Tahir-Pacha, whose mission to Algiers
was to depose the Dey, and take upon himself the
Government of that Regency in the name of the
Sultan, has transmitted to Paris the firman which
ordains this measure. He begins to be impatient
at the continued silence of the French Cabinet, and
earnestly presses an explanation upon the subject.
" The Pilate du Calvados states, that the Royal
court pf Caen has appointed a committee of its
members to consider and report upon such measures
as may be deemed likely to be effective in stoppirg
the diabolical proceedings of the incendiaries.
" The Conrrier de lioyonne contains the follow-
ing on the disturbances that have lately broken nut
in the Basque provinces :---‘ The valley of Baigorry
contains about 4,000 men able to bear arms. 1,200
young men, of whom a great number have served
in the army, are now in arms, fully determined to
defend their soil and their families. Serious dis-
asters may happen if the Governments of the two
countries do not take proper measures to put an end
to the dispute. The Spanish Government has sent
troops as far as Valcarlos (on the borders of
France), and threatens to seize all the Aldudian
cattle which may be found beyond the limits fixed
by the Convention of Cairo and Ormano. A
deputy from the valley of Baigorry has been at
Paris above a year to represent the case to Gc-
vernment. Another Deputy from the valley of
Cize and Aellon has likewise been there for some
time, to claim the execution of treaties which are
violated by the inhabitants of the Spanish fron-
t tiers, carrying off the French cattle. We have
learned upon good authority that the two 'nties
