TRIUMPH OF FREEDOM IN FRANCE,

Yesterday a dinner took place at. the Freereasons'
Tavern, in celebration of the triumph of c.oristitu,
florist freedom in France, Sir V. BURDETT in the
chair. The gallery at the end of the hall was filled
with ladies, who displayed a great deal of interest
in the proceedings, and remained till the conclusion.
We should think that the number of persons who
sot down to dinner could not have been fewer than
300. Many of them wore tri•coloured cockades and
other decurationS of a- like kind. In the course of

the evening tri-coloured flags, or pocket-handker.

chiefs made to resemble them, were displayed by
several individuals. There were many foreigners
present—among Englishmen and strangers but one
feeling predominated throughout the entire of .the
proveedinp. The utmost enthusiasm and unanimity
prevailed with respect to the great cause in celebra-
tion of which the meeting had been convened.
Among those present we observed, in addition to
the Chairman, Count de Mornay, M. Vincent, Mr.
Hobhouse, Mr. Warburton, Mr. F. Palmer, Colonel
Jones, and Mr. Buckingham.
The vocal department consisted of Messrs. Broad-
hurst, Fitzwilliam, Bellamy, Jolley, and Master
Lewis. The airs of " God save the, King," " Rule
Britannia," the Marseillois Hymn, &c., adapted to
new words appropriate to the occasion, written by
Mr. Buckingham, were sung in the course of the
evenine, and very favourably received.
The Custustivs, in proposing the health of his
Majesty, said lie could not so far violate the feelings
which he entertained on the occasion, as to give
• the toast in that merely formal tone and manner
which decency and usage dictated. Feeling, as he
did, that the conduct of his Majesty, since his ac-
cession to the throne, had gone far indeed to attach
to him the warmest good wishes of his subjects,
and that the Sovereign had already distinguished
hiMself by many acts of justice as well as kindness,
and done all that Englishmen could desire,—under
such impressions, he should not have done justice
to his own sentiments, or those of the assembly,
unless he had made this short preface to the plain
and formal toast of " The King."
(A considerable delay occurred in drinking the
toast, in consequence of a part of the company
being unprovided with wine. We may here ob-
serve, that the cry for " wine" was frequently re-
peated on the occasion, and other toasts being pro-
posed, from which it would seem that there was
not a very abundant supply upon the tables. If
there was a deficiency in the liquids (judging from
our own experience), the solids were even mote
scanty. From whrrever cause it arose, it has never
before been our misfortune to be present at any
public dinner where the attendance and table arrange-
ments were on a narrower scale, or worse managed
than on the present occasion. It was the more stir-

prising that it should be so, as the dinners of the
Fre►nasonte-hall are, generally spenkii►g, proverbi-
ally excellent, and it might have been thought that
a good and sufficient repast could be afforded for a
guinea.)
His Majesty's health having been received with
enthusiasm,

The CHAIRMAN said that it was with great plea.
sure that he pursued the unusual course of intro-
ducing the name and proposing the health of another
King immediately after that of the King of England
—the name and health of a King who was so closely
connected with the great events which they were
met to celebrate, and whose feelings were so far in
unison with those known to be entertained by the
King of England. lie hardly knew how to find
terms sufficiently expressive of his feelings at the no-
velty and importance of the late events in France.
The importance of the result overpowered him to
that degree, that he scarcely knew to what topics to
draw attention, or what to omit. As they all felt so
much in common, and as they had all met here with
the same sentiments and opinions, it was idle to
discuss points which it would he a mere waste of
time to attempt to prove to any man. What with
the exultation, and joy, and pride which he felt at
the recent occurrences in Paris, and at meeting this
numerous and respectable assembly, and having the
pleasure of seeing around him some gentlemen be-
longing to the country the glorious deeds of which
we were met to celebrate, he felt under considerable
embarrassment, because if he said only what was
called for, he should say literally nothing; and if he
did, it would not he treating the assembly with that
respect and regard which he entertained for it. lie
teas going shortly to propose to them, for the first
dine, the health of a King of the people of France
—a King whose very title, now for the first time
assumed, vindicated all the great principles which
our forefathers had fought to establish, and
which the French nation had lately nobly
struggled for, and with success. The title " King
of the French," at once announced the great
principle on which the throne was now Nonled in
France; but it wits also necessary to add to the
toast a portion, which he trusted might never again
be separated from the part of it which he had already
mentiooed—aud they were culled upon to drink not
only " the King of the French," but " the French
nation" in conjunction with it.—(Cheers.)—The
health of the King of the French, and of the French
nation, should henceforth be dear to all Englishmen,
when it was considered that the King of the French
was a constitutional monarch, and that the French

nation had conquered the attainment of liberty, and
by their glorious exertions had for ever put it oat or
the power of despots, by violence or intrigues, to
withhold rational freedom front the people of other
countries.—(llear.)—Such would be the final re-
milt, he confidently argue], of the recent struggle.
The courage of the French people, the wisdom
which they had displeyed, and, more then all, their
forbearance, bad entitled theta to the admiration of
all civilized nations. That forbearance it might have
been that led ignoble minds and narrow understand-
ings to flatter themselves that violent and unjust
passions and proceedings might be adopted with no-
punity against a people who eventually proved, that
though they desired cud deserved peace, they must
enjoy it in conjunction with freedom. The enemies of
riltliee thought that they could tamper with the
people, and lay upon them the burdens which had
been previously taken off, not aware that the French
were wise hut not timid, and that if ready at times to
hear much, it wits through a feeling of moderation
and forbearance, not on account of cowardice or fear.
Vortunately it turned out that the enemies,of France
'Nero mistaken—he said fortunately with reference to
the gram! result of resistance, though unhappily that
resistance was attended with the loss of many valu-
able lives and the outpouring of much good blood.
flat although, when- speaking of the painful acci-
dents of the contest, we must use the term " un-
happily," the results of that glorious contest so im-
portant and beneficial to the cause of liberty before
our eyes, no doubt could exist that the sacrifice,
great as it was, had been well and worthily made,
and that the blood of the brave iind virtuous men
who fell would be amply compensated by the glo-
rious victory thus attained.—(Cheers.) That the
French were a brave nation the world had long
known, but till now it was never imagined that such
a union of calm determined courage with active ex-
mien as Franco bud displayed WWI in existence. It
was a proud thing for the French to have it seen
and acknowledged, that possessing Ilia necessary
force to effect their object, they had the still greater
force, the incalculable moral power, to be -able to
*top in their career precisely at that point where
justice was satisfied, and moderation demended the
cessation.—(Cheers.) It was not flattery to say
that in the conduct of the French tuition there had
been as much generosity as courage,—nay, perhaps
there was even still more generosity; there was a
feeling that almost appeared to fall short of what
justice. dictated in the treatment of the enemica of

Fritnee by the French ; and there was 411 evident
inclination existing among that magnanimous people
that the sword of justice should be suspended, if it
could with any degree of StirOty to the country. These

were glorious heliport,* was an entire nation act-
ing as if they were all (every individual)? hilosopbers,

ing the impetuosity of youth, and youth was wise
enough to obey the dictates of age. The French
nation had placed itself on a pinnacle of true glory,
and secured a renown which others might, by pos-
sibility, hereafter equal, but which none could ever
hope to surpass. It was his sincere and ardent
prayer that this great and brave people might be
rewarded for their heroic conduct, by the prospe-
rity, happiness, and liberty which they so well de-
served to enjoy ; and that they might continue in
that course which had already secured them the
esteem and admiration of all lovers of freedom,---a
course which compelled men to admire, although
entertaining hostile feelings to liberty and its sup.
porters,—which at least compelled such individuals
to appear to approve, because they dared not disap-
prove. It was impossible to over-estimate the effect
of the recent struggle in France, in the cause of free-
, dom, humanity, and justice. It had placed the free-
dom of the world in a condition to be no longer
problematical. The French had not only conquered
their enemies in the field of battle, but they had
achieved a more difficult victory, and conquered
themselves—subdued their own feelings—coerced
their just passions, and, in doing so, had pursued a
course 'of conduct such that even we who were out
of the reach of the vortex, the struggle, and the
danger—we, sitting coolly here as spectators of the
crisis, were unable to point out that particular act
which we could wish otherwise than as it was.—
(Cheers.)—We might now hope that the French
and the English people—the. French who had
thus nobly conducted themselves, and the Eng-
lish who so justly and properly sympathised with
their feelings, and had so far showed them-
selves willing and anxious to bestow on their
heroic neighbours the full measure of their ap-
prohation and esteem—we might hope that both
nations would henceforth regard one another
as they ought, even with reference to the nar-
row consideration of their mutual interests, not
to speak of what was advantageous (as a thorough
good understanding between them must be) to the
world at large. lie trusted that France and Eng-
land would in future look upon each other with feel-
ings of affection, mutual regard, and esteem. Ile
believed and trusted that this country would con-
tinue desirous of paying to France that tribute of
applause which the unexampled virtue of her citi-
zens demanded at our hands. It was fortunate for
the world as well as for France, that there should
have been found within her bosom a man so eaten-
hoed, and, as it were, formed by nature and educa-
tion, to step into that situation in which it was the
good fortune, and to the honour of the French King,
to be placed by the almost unanimous assent of the
French people. This circumstance was in itself an
earnest that a beneficial course would in future be
pursued, and thus would the good opinion of man-
kind be more and more conciliated, and every free-
man in every part of the world would become the
natural friend of the French. It was impossible not
to notice briefly so great a character as now appeared
on the theatre of public affairs in France,--one who
had formerly distinguished himself in every part of
the world where liberty was to be contended for;—
it was impossible to pass without noticing the name
of the generous, the brave, the humane Lafayette.
—(Cheers.) He remembered the first trait that
transpired in the history of that truly great and good
man ;—one who appeared to have mortified in him•
self every unsocial feeling,—who seemed to have
attained, in an eminent degree, that perfection which
our great bard introduced Cardinal Wolsey as re-
ferring to when that fallen statesman, repenting the
errors of his own ambitious life, addressed an admo-
nition to a follower in these words—
" Love thyself last."
This disinterested principle certainly involved a se-
vere and difficult task in reducing it to practice, but
Lafayette appeared to have found it easy, judging
from the constancy with which he had adhered to
it. Shakspeare added—
" Corruption wive not more than honesty,"
and this was beautifully illustrated in the life of La-
fayette. Of him he (Sir F. Burdett) hail first read
in the early history of the American war, when,
after having put to rout it portion of an opposing
army, he perceived an unfoitunate English soldier;
who had fallen wountkd in a situation of greet
danger, being exposed to a continued fire. The
history stated that a young gentleman, mounted on
a white horse (and further describing his appear-
ance), came from the midst of the victorious troops,
and succeeded in carrying off, under the tire of a re-
treating enemy, the wounded soldier, whom he con-
veyed to a place of safety. This young gentleman
was 111, Lafayette; and such was the first public
trait in his character, which united in a remarkable
degree tenderness with firmness, courage and huma-
nity, wisdom and modesty—forming altogether a
character perhaps the most perfect that had ever
appeared in the page of history.—(Clicers.)7llut
he would not dwell longer upon the merits of
this great and distinguished character,—the rather,
because it was intended, among the other toasts
that were to follow, to propose the health of that
great and good mum, and his Hon. Colleague would
have an opportunity of expatiating upon his merits.
Ho should only say, th it during a long and eventful
life, exposed to every species of danger, Lafayette
had never swerved from the path of rectitude : he
boldly faced all perils, and resisted every tempta-
tion. However, as he had already said, he would
not pinto these matters, lest he should trespass upon
the ground to he trodden by those who were to
come after him : at the sumo time he could not

General Lafayette. The occasion on which they
degree serious and solemn in its nature : it was
connected with u spectacle worthy the contempla-
tion of the human intellect—an instance worthy of
imitation on other occasions, anti an example to all
who might at any time be engaged in the prosecu-
tion of a like glorious cause.—(Cheers.)—lt must
be encouraging to the friends of freedom to reflect
that finally the cause of justice and liberty was se-
cure of a triumph—that there was an army now
abroad in the world which ensured it—that that
army was on foot in the intellectual mind of man—
(llear)—that it was invincible, and would never be
oppored with success : that army of principle (to
which he and his political connexions in this coun-
try bad always been devoted) was all powerful.
tie would not detain them any longer, but express
his own opinions in the more eloquent language,
than any he could cud, of our great poet, who had
lived at is period when the country was making
somewhat similar struggles :—" Methinks I see in
my mind u noble and puissant nation rousing herself
like a strong mists after sleep, and shaking her invinl i.
ble locks; methinks I see her, as an eagle, meeting her
mighty youth, and kindling her undazzled eyes at the
full mid-day beam ; purging and unsealing her long-
abused sight at the fountain itself of heavenly ra-
diance; while the whole tribe of timorous and
flocking birds, with those also that love the twilight,
flutter about amazed at what she means, anti, in
their envious gabble, would prognosticate a year of
sects and schisms." There were a few envious
birds, he could not call them tribes ; they were
only individuate who wish to predict sects and
schisms, but he relied on their being disappointed
by the moderation and virtue of this patriotic
people. They had conducted themselves safely to
their present elevation, anti he trusted they would
go forward improving in harnauity and wisdom, not
suffering themselves to be deceived by false or
foolish friends, and not suffering themselves to be
taunted or tempted by open or disguised enemies

which they had entered. lie proposed, with heart•
felt satisfaction, " The King of the French, and
the French Nation'' ((}Cent and long-continued
cheering ; one gentleman distinguishing himself by

Count lie Mortsav, a French gentleman roes to
return thanks. If ever ho felt proud in his life, it
was at that moment ; and he felt it from witnessing
the enthusiasm with which the struggles of his-
countrymen for liberty were hailed by the English—

tutionid freedom. He trusted the cause would
prosper, and would be extended. lie begged to
propose as a toast—" Civil and Religious Liberty

and enthusiastic cheers.")

To Freedom's Sons wherever dwelling,
Bid the wel•ome tidings fly;
The heavens, the earth, the seas, are telling
Freedom's immortal victory!
Oppression's iron ranks are broken ;
The martved slain have won the-fight ;

With loftiest minstrelsy,
And vow—and vow—the solemn pledge,

For ever honoured be thy name;
And, oh! may England, from thy story
Cherish bright Freedom's sacred flame.
Give but to man the unfetter'd mind,
Let Freedom's banners float unflard ;

May rule, protect, and free the world.
Then swell the heroic song
With loftiest minstrelsy,
And vow—and vow—the solemn pledge,

The next toast was, " The Navy and Army."
Mr. BUCKINGHAM read the following letters from
Lord John Russell, Lord Milton, Mr. Brougham,
and Lord Nugent, to account for their absence from
the meeting. They would show, that though it was
a misfortune to these gentlemen to be absent, it
would be a greater misfortune if it were not known
how much they wished to be present.
When Mr. Brougham's name was mentioned, it
was received with enthusiastic cheers.
" Woburn Abbey, Aug. 15.
" Sir,--I am so fatigued with a long-contested election,
that 1 trust I shall be excused attending the dinner on the
18th. 1n fact, I have not health for these celebrations.
But I can assure you that no one feels more strongly than
myself the gratitude due to the French people for breaking
at once, at every risk, and by the most noble exertions,
the vilest yoke which a contemptible tyrant ever prepared
for a great nition. The benefit of their splendid heroism
will, I um convinced, be felt before long in every part of
the civilized world. I remain, your faithful servant,

" Wentworth, Aug. IS.
Sir,—As you seem to have been one of the first, if
not the very first, to mark your satisfaction at the late
events in France, by sending a subscription to the unfor-
tunate sufferers in Paris, you must bear with me for
troubling you with this letter, which is to beg that if any
public meeting is lo Id on this subject in London, you will
have the kindness to make it known how much I applaud
the conduct of the French, and how entirely I sympathise
with those who are desirous of assisting them. This, you
may say, is a piece of useless parade ; but I confess it
strikes me as desirable that the ;•reatest possible num-
ber of persons in the higher ranks should be known as ap-
provers of the last revolution ; and I was the more desirous
of it with respect to myself, as we have always been con-
sidered (and truly so) as great disapprovers of the former
one. The French have, however, redeemed themselves
nobly, and may challenge any nation on earth to compare
with them. It is with this feeling that I have sent my
mite, which, in comparison with yours, is nothing ; but I
do not much regret my inability to give more, as I con-
ceive that in this case the amount of the money subscribed
signifies very little—the real obj..et is to show the French
people that we have a fellow feelinewith them ; and this
is marked as well by a small as by a larger sum.
" To John Cam Ilobliouse, Esq." "MILTON.

" Carlisle, Aug. 16.
" Gentlemen,-1 have just had the honour of receiving
your summons to attend the meeting upon Wednesday
next, and I deeply regret that the date of the business
here makes it gniteimpossible for me to be present. But
I beg of you to believe, and to represent, on my part, that
no man in this country entertains a more lively sense of
the d&it of gratitude, never to be repaid, which all the
lovers of freedom, in all lands, owe to the authors of the
glorious event you are met to celebrate. They have done
far more in three days to make despotism impossible either
in France or in England, than its vile abettors can now
accomplish in as many ages. Iti ust I shall he excused
for taking this occasion to express the anxiety which I feel
until` I can see the reformed constitution of that noble
country placed upon a solid basis. From the inroads of
Royal prerogative there is now little to fear; especially if
the representation of the people shall be established upon
at more extensive foundation—the best security both for
the liberty of the subject, and for the stability of the throne.
My anxious hope is, that no error may be committed in
the other extreme,—that the wisdom and temperance
which have hitherto shone so illustriously through all the
proceedings of the distinguished leaders, may preside over
what remains of their great work, and enable them to see
the hazard of a too feeble executive power, at a moment when
they may be more apt to think of the dangers they have just
escaped from arbitrary domination. It well becomes their
sagacity and foresight to avoid sowing the seeds of dis-
sension, and struggle, and change, and convulsion, white
they are planting the tree of limited monarchy, under
whose shade the rights of all classes may best repose in
peace and safety. Above all, let us hope that every thing
will be shunned which can perpetuate the authority of an
armed force; that the functions of deliberation will for
ever be separated from those of action,—that having
chosen a Monarch in whom they can confide, provided
salutary cheeks to his power, and founded hine as we
in England elect our Sovereigns, upon the 111trred prin-
ciple of resistance to lawless tyranny, they will intrust
him with the prerogative of wielding the national force,
and representing the country abroad—prerogatives never
safely to be shared with any other branch of the Govern-
ment, however necessary it may be strictly to control
them, and jealously to watch their exercise. The happy
choice which the illustrious Prince who new sways that
canatitutional sceptre has made of his Ministers, fills me
with the confident expectation that the hopes of the good
and the wise will he realized. I have long had the happiness
of knowing their Chief; and there lives not a man in
either country more anxious for whatever may best preserve
peace between the two nations, and more sincerely devoted
to the general improvement of mankind. That a reign so
Auspiciously begun, and springing from such glorious deeds
of civil virtue, may long West; the people committed to
.s the
its
care, and secure the t peace and happiness of Europe,

To the Stewards of the Dinner."

" Lilies, Aug. 17.

" My dear Sir Francis,—lt was my strong wish and
my fill( intention, when Mr. Buckingham announced to
me the proposed dinner in commemoration of the great
and glorious esentt which have taken place in France, to
attend it, and bear testimony in person to those feelings of
joy and triumph in which you know how sincerely I par-
ticipate with every friend of reform anti liberty. But,
alas, the day fixed for that commemoration is one on which

I have been for some time past engaged to meet some good
political friends of ours, in a distant part of the country;
and all public duties, like charity, begin at home. Pray
have the goodness to make my excuses to the company,
and assure them (yourself I need not unsure) that no en-
gagement which I could with propriety postpone, should
have been allowed to interfere with my attendance at a
meeting, the object of which Iso warmly and cordially
applaud.
" The present generation of Frenchmen have immor-
talized themselves, and, what is of much greater impor-
tance, have immortalized this truth—that tyranny may be
overthrown, aid the libel ties of the people rescued and
established by the people themselves, without a single act
of inhumanity or popular disorder, This is is a rare ex-
ample, which it has been their great glory to give to the
surrounding nations of the continent, and which we may
hope will hear good fruit ; at all events, it is one which
future despots will do well to remember, before it shall be-
come the duty of their subjects to follow it.

Mr HomtousE rose to propose the next toast.
lie, too, was received with cheers. He rose, he
said, to propose the health of Lafayette, before al-
luded to, of which he might, perhaps, complain, as
it left him nothing to add to the eulogy which iad
already been pronouncefodAtei hhiamd.sholw'hnishog:.veiftatlsmeaint
was'av peculiarly
yarityhaht"gpryeatness was incomparable with
goodness, for he had found greatness and glory in
„emoting the happiness of mankind.--(Cheers.)— •
he conceived it to be one of the most fort ui,ate
circumstances of his life that he knew that great
man, and had been permitted to follow him through
private life ; and there he had teen the foolishness
of that other saying that no man was a hero to his
own family. He had there seen that great and
food man contributing to make the circle around
happy, and using his power for this 'purpose,

..and this purpose only, as the crcle was exter.ded.
It was for him a great pride that he could boast al-
most of enjoying his friendship. lie would be an
example for great men of all ages. lle had not
I only gained those laurels with which we were ac-
customed to deck the brows of a conqueror, hut also
those oaken wreaths with which the Romans de-
corated him who saved the life of a citizen.--
' (Cheers.)—His life had been passed in the exerei.se
of every virtue, and when the public had not any
need of his service, in trat quit felicity. lie
hail fought the battles of the people and of
liberty in the field and in the Senate, and he had
sustained her cause when he himself had been almost
forgotten. He remembered when the at erupt,
made by a Gallant Friend of his Hon. Colleague'-,
.General Fitzpatrick, to rescue General Lafayette
.from the dungeon of Olmutz—that those efforts
were sneered Iv, but where were now the sneerers,
the authors of the paltry libels? Forgotten, while
Lafayette stood proudly preminent—he must not
say the first man on earth, for we still were English-
men—but one of the most illustrious men that ever
graced the annals of mankind. He hail no doubt
that the French would triumph, and no doubt that
their triumph would have an effect on all nal ions.—
(Cheers.)—They might perhaps be called on by-
and-by to celebrate in that place the triumph of some
other nation.—(Cheers.)—He hoped to see all na-
tions go hand in band to obtain, not a national, but
it human object—the establishment of I:berty through-
out the world.—(Cheers.)—There was a means of
judging of public opinion, a pulse that beat from one
end of the system to the other, which in France the
tyrant had attempted to destroy in vain—that pulse
was the Press, and as long as the Press existed, the
opinions of free men would be propagated, and the
great events they were met to celebrate would be
everywhere made known, and .would never be for-
gotten. The day-spring of liberty had indeed risen
before at the first revolution, And it was beheld by
such men as Mr. Fox; but they saw it again sunk,
lost in obscurity—never, as was supposed, to be
again illuminated. In 1818, again the people
had rushed forward with their Sovereigns to beat
down the despot of the day; but though they shared
the danger, they were not allowed to divide the
spoil. Again, in 1820, in Spain, and afterwtuds
in Portugal, liberty had been sought, but without
success. At length the great French nation, stung
,and goaded to the quick by imbecility and madness,
:roused itself with all the energies of a great nation,
its shackles fell from it like the green swythes from
the arms of Sampson, and in four days tyranny and
the tyrant had disappeared, and gone for ever.—
(Cheers.) To lead them in that combat they had
found a soldier without ambition, and they hail
achieved victory without thinking of revenge. He
was proud and delighted to have lived to see that
day. General Lafayette, however, could not have
executed this by himself; he had assistants; he
should therefore beg leave to propose "the health
of General Lafayette and the National Guard of
Paris."—(Drunk, with enthusiastic cheering.)
M. VINCENT, a French Gentleman, returned
thanks in French. He described himself as having
served in the army of the North, uader the orders of
General Lafayette. He spoke of that day as the
proudest and happiest of his life, at witnessing the
sympathy of the first constitutional people of the
universe in favour of his countrymen. He adverted
to the beginning of the former French Revolution,
which failed, heseemed to thiwk, because the French
people were not then ripe for liberty. Nations went
through different stages, and at one time were like
children who needed the support of a mother's
hand before they learned to walk alone. Ile hoped
that the present victory would never be forgotten,
but be treasured up to the latest posterity. He bore
his testimony to the good conduct of the workmen
of Paris, by whom the victory was uchieved--they
were equally disinterested arid heroic. The two
nations had heretofore been rivals; but henceforth
he hoped they would be only rivals in propagating
civilization and liberty. He concluded by proposing
as a toast, " The friendly and eternal union of the
French and English people."—(Enthusiastic cheers,
in which the ladies in the gallery cordially joined.)
Mr. BUCKINGHAM proposed " The liberty of the
Press, and independence of its conductors, the best
guarantees of the constitutional rights," and in doing
so, alluded in terms of high commendation to the
Editors of the French Papers, in assembling and
promulgating the principle, that resistance to illegal
authority was legal obedience. The result of recent
events proved that, to use the words of Shakspeare,
" Thrice is be armed that bath his quarrel just,
" And he hut naked, though locked up in steel,

" Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted."
blr. WARBURTON said, that the Stewards had
put into his hands a toast to propose, which he felt
great pleasure in submitting to their consideration :
it was " The Un!on of all Free Nations against
Despotic Power." That union was not to be
brought about by Princes, or Potentates, or Mini-
sters, nor, of course, any resistance conducted
through their agency. No; he looked to the ma-
turity principle in peace—not in war; he
looked int the enlightenment of mankind, and
the sympa
thy subsisting between the freemen of all
nations;o hem that
ylooked to it in the influence and ascen-
dancy of tita
h of the schoolmaster; be looked to it from the
moral influence of virtuous minds. He anticipated
the growth of liberty in every part of the world to
which the winged seeds of freedom might be car-
ried.—(Greet applause.)—They talked of a revo-
lution. In his opinion, and according to his accep-
tation of the words, there was no revolution ; or,
to speak more accurately, those whose triumphs
they were that day met to celebrate, were not re-
volutionists—they were the maintainers of regular
law and established institutions in France. But
who were the revolutionists—the real revolutionists?
Why, the late King. He was the great viola-
tor of the law.—(Loud and enthusiastic cheers.)
—Those who opposed him fought, and bled, and
died in the great and holy cause of liberty, law,
and social order. The respect they must entertain
towards such men ought to induce them to moderate
their feelings, so as to keep them from regarding
that as a proper place or opportunity for the discus-
sion of their own particular grievances. They
should remember that they had foreign guests aith
them, who could not be expected to enter into
those grievances ; the sense of politeness, hospitality,
and propriety which he was sure the meeting gene-
rally entertained would make them feel' the inexpe-
diency of obtruding upon the attention of their guests
matters in which they were not interested. Ile
therefore recommended to his friends the exercise
of that forbearance which they so warmly applauded
in the recent conduct of the French people them-
selves. After congratulating them upon the temper
and expression of feeling which those events had
culled forth in England, he concluded by proposing
as a toast " The union of all free Nations against
despotic power." Drunk with three times three,
and great applause.
Mr. HILL then said that ho too had been entrusted
with the proposal of a toast by the Stewards—
" The progress of Education throughout the world."
At that time of day no man would feel himself culled
upon to show that education had made, and was
sure to make in time, an extensive progress through-
out the nations of ie world, and ultimately suc-
ceed in civilizing them. To maintain such a posi-
tion as that by a lengthened statement of facts, or
by cold reasoning, would be a most profitless waste
of their time; but if that position needed any illus-
tration, he would point to the conduct of the stu-
dents of Paris.—(Applause.)—If in some cases
their hands were not the best suited to wield a sword
their heads were the best qualified to decide when the
sword should be used, and when its exertion Arndd
be suspended, and when it should altogether cease.—
(Cheers.)—The French people had formerly been
under the domination of Priests and tyrants—men
who could not distinguish—how should they ?—be-
tween liberty, the blessings of which they had never
enjoyed, and anarchy, the evils of which they had
never experienced. To domination, of that kind the
French bad long submitted, but at length they had
thrown off the yoke, and gloriously vindicated

the cause of right, of humanity, and the principles
of political liberty. It was well for them 4101. CO! '

THURSDAY EVENILONDON
NG, AU,
GUST 19, 1850.

The Duke of WELLINGTON, the LORD
CHANCELLOR, and the Earl of ABERDEEN,
Who are all the Ministers within reach of town,
met this morning in Downing•street, when the
Due do CHOISEUL, one of the Noblemen de-
puted by the Ex-King CHARLES X., to wait
'Pon the British Government, was introduced,
and a conference ensued which lasted upwards of
all hour. It was supposed that the business
was more to ascertain the views of the English
Ministry on the French affairs than as related to
a residence of the fugitive Princes in this coun-
try. As regards the former, the result has
not been suffered to transpire ; but it is
understood that orders were yesterday for-
Warded to Portsmouth by
the telegraph to allow
Party to land at Cowes, and that the de-
barkation took place this morning.
It is still thought that POLIGNAC is in
England.'

We have received by express the Paris Papers

Yesterday, from which we make the following in
extracts :--

Who told me that some agitation had taken

place in Paris, and that he wished me to take com-
mand of the troops to maintain order. As the pub-
lie tranquillity was but slightly disturbed, I suc-
ceeded in re-establishing It without much difficulty,
and the night passed without any disorder. But
at five o'clock in the morning numerous groups be-
gan to assemble, and assume a threatening aspect. The
troops took their arms,. and I was indeed forced to re-
press the disorders uhich took place under my own eyes,
on pain of being accost tl of encouraging them, a circum-
stance which gave rise to a very serious engagement. In
the evening I wailed the troops, giving up all hopes of
maintaining the offensive, since it was no longer an in-
surrection but a revolution which was effected. At three
o'clock my opinion was fixed : I informed the Government
of what was passing, and *lrked for orders to treat with
the enemy. On the Thursday no hostility took place
on my part, but I continued no longer defensive,
in hopes of preserving the Tuileries. They filed
at its, but we hardly answered at all. Every
thing appeared to be returning to order, when
several regiments began to fly, an attack was di-
rected against the Louvre, a position almost impregnable,
and a panic ►eized the Swiss who were charged with its
defence ; their flight was followed by that of the troops
stationed on the Carousal, anal of myself, who had only
time to jump on my horse ; several men were killed by my
side in passing under the Arc de Triomfe ; I rallied 60 men
to give the troops time to form beneath the clock, and
fought with alert in the Court of the Tuileties, in order
to expel beyond the gate those who had entered, and I
then termed the rear with these few soldiers. Did you
ever see anything like it? to be obliged to fight against
my own countrymen to injure them, and to end by being
defeated. Can anything b. beyond that, it is a misfor-
tune above all expression, and posterity will form an un-
just opinion against me. My only consolation is my
conscience

" How many things had Ito tell you! What base and
contemptible conduct have I been witness to ! I shall ac-
company the King to Cherbourg, when once he is in
safety my duty will have been fulfilled. I shall leave
France, and Pee what is to he my fate. Whatever it may
be. I shall have courage to support it. When I shall have
left the King, toy intention is to publish a relation of what
concerns me in the late unhappy events...

TOULON, Au a. 11. —The corvette Le Bayonnaise,
Ciptain Perrin, arrived here yesterday evening from Al-
eery. This vessel has announced that M. de Bourmont,
in order to take vengeance of the perfidy of the inhabitants
of Buda, has sent three regiment., with cavalry and artil-
lery, to burn the town and subdue the tribes inhabiting the
Little Atlas. The affair of Buda has caused all the
Buberes of the- mountain to rise, and it is feared that our
troops now encamped out of the town will soon be obliged
to shut themselves up in the forts. M. Duperre is still
very cool towards M. de Bourmont, and does not interfere
with any thing that concerns the administration of Algiers.
The fleet will at least have no ,hare in the dil-ipidations
which have taken place. The corvette L' Astrolabe has
received on board 11,000,000 of francs, delivered from
the Nestor.

BONA, JULY 26.-The frigate Duchess de Berri,
with the corvettes L'Eeho and L' Ormythe, arrived lately
before Bons, in order to obtain the submission of the Go-
vernor of that town. On being summoned, he answered
that be was ready to submit, but that he wished first to be
informed of the conquest of the Regency of Algiers through
some other channel than ours. The news was in con-
sequence communicated to Ittrt through a canal boat, bear-
ing the Tuscan flag.
On the 19th our 4qutulron neared the batteries, trusting
that this news would induce the inhabitants to send for
further details; but their hostile demonstrations, and a
cannon they fired, determined the Commodore to delay, as
his force was not sufficient to reduce the town. On the
25th the summons was reiterated and the town surrendered,
as also the whole province. The Castle of the Emperor,
which commands the town, has been evacuated by the
Turkish garrison. This morning the authorities and
principal inhabitants came on board to deliver the keys of
the Castle, which were returned, on condition that the
inhabitants garrisoned the place until the arrival of the
French troops, and that no Turk should be allowed to
enter the place.

Letters received this morning from Cowes
state that the Ex-King of FRANCE was exceed•
ingly anxious to learn the result of the mission
of the Duke DE CucasauL and the Duke of
LUXEMBURG to our Government. The Ex-
KING was yesterday in better spirits, but the
ladies were depressed.
It is at present understood that CHARLES
will proceed to Austria, so soon as he receives
an answer from that Government.

The following are extracts from Dutch and
German Papers received this morning. It will
be perceived that the late memorable events in
Pada continue to create great excitement in Ger-
manyand other places :

THE HAGUE, AUG. 11.
A private letter from Berlin of the sth August says,
that the news of the late events in France, and especially
the success of the insurrection for the maintenance of con•
stitutional freedom, had caused a great sensation, and made
a deep impression on many persons. Though the
assembling of a very numerous army might not be wholly
unconnected with political objects, it was presumed that
it was not intended to support any interference, by arms,
in the &Mint of France.

Hie Majesty has been pleased to order the Hippomenes
and Heroine corvettes to be put into commission to be
sent to the East and West Indies.

The affair of the Journal of Liege, that is under prosecu-
tion, is put off till the 31st August.
The performers of the French Theatre here have sent
300 francs to the office of the Constitutionnel at Paris,
for the orphans and widows of the citizens killed in the
late events.

AMSTERDAM, AUQ. 11.
The Marquis of Tweedale arrived bore yesterday from
Switzerland.

BERLIN, AUG. 6.

The King returned yesterday from Toplitz. We hear
that before the reviews in Westphalia his Majesty will go
to Hamburg to make himself acquainted vi ith that remark-
a'Jle city and its beautiful environs.
Private letters from Hamburg speak with enthusiasm of
the joy with which the inhabitants look forward to the
moment when a King of Prussia will for the first time
visit them in the person of the high-minded Monarch, to
whom, with all Protestant Germany, that peaceful free city
has en many obligations.
The accounts from Paris are unfortunately every day
more gloomy than could at first have been conjectured,
and every body is astonished and confounded at the rapid
and total change which has taken place there, and the
consequences of which cannot yet be calculated. The
political interest that these events have excited here is not
to be described. The calm spectator, however, has the
satisfaction to see that sensible and moderate views greatly
preponderate among the public, and that on the whole but a
few voices of men, hurried away by violent passions, are
beard.

wArmi, JULY 30.

Yesterday evening we learnt that the ►hips, on board
which their Majesties returned home, bad arrived off the
Wand of Pouza. The Duke of Calabria and his brother
the Duke of Capua Sailed in the night on board the Cala-
brese brig to meet them. It is said that the King suffers
from a severe cough and intermittent fever, with a perspi-
ration that greatly reduces his strength.

MU WICK, AUGUST 7.

France is now in a state of the greatest excitement. At
a distance from that country, and under circumstance*
which allow an impartial view of the events taking place
there, it will not he difficult for the friend of a just and
legal liberty to convince himself in the language which the
feelings of the moment suggest to the French Journalists,
there is at least much exaggeration. We must confess that
we have felt disgust in repeating to our readers many expres-
sions which the municipal commission in particular has em-
ployed towards august personages, but we thought it best not

to make any alteration or omission, in order to give our readers
an accurate historical knowledge of .the temper of people's
minds, and of the degree in which passion prevails over
reason and decorum. The manner in which the accounts
of the bloody scenes from the 27th to the 29th July mis.
represent the facts afflicts us even more than this unsuit-
able language. It is proper to dirket the attention of our
readers to the uncertainty of the accounts which the French,
papers give under the influence of the present governMent.
The journals of the revolution before the empire lay before
us; we know the language of those whose object it is to
attach the people to them. In writing these lines we by
no means pretend to give already a thchled opinion of what
is now passing in France.

lITUTTGARD. AUO. 10.

'We hear from Friederickshafen, where their Alojestieh
and family now are, that on the 7th instant, with the con-
sent of the King and of the Grand Duke of Baden, his
Highness Margrave William of Baden, brother of the
reigning Grand Duke, was •cletnnly betrothed to the
Duchess Elisabeth of Wurtemburg, daughter of the late
Duke Louis.

We have only space to refer to the proceed-
ings which took place last night at the Free-
masons' Tavern. The greatest enthusiasm per-
vaded the merting,—and ample justice was done
to the chivalrous conduct of the French people.

The commercial accounts received from
Montreal this morning are highly satisfactory.
Trade there was brisk, and the demand for our
manufactures active. Many purchases had also
been made for the American markets. In the
half year ending the sth July, the imports of
manufactures from English ports had been large.
The following are the details of the imports of
manufactured goods which pay a duty of 2f pa
cent. :—The gross value of goods received from
Liverpool was 222,5701. 16s. 7d. ; from Lon-
don, 107,819/. 15s. 4d.; from Greenock,

lon duty ; 11,704 minots of Salt, paying 4d.
per minor duty ; and 7,536 packs of Cards, pay-

The internal improvement of the colony was
the subject of general observation, and the
Governor was extremely active in his exertions
to carry into effect every object to facilitate in-
ternal commerce, strengthen the military de-
fences, develope the internal powers, and to
call forth the industry and energies of the people.
The tide of emigration was flowing in strongly,
and it was fully expected the arrivals would
greatly exceed those in any previous season.
The question as to throwing open the West
India trade was a subject of much discussion,
but hopes were entertained by the colonists that
there would be no change.
