TYN, BART

On M

at -- aionday last, a most sampttious entertainment was given
R'gent Hotel, Leamington, as a testimony of gratitude
banitdurtesspect to Sir Edward Mostyn, on the part of the hills-
, which was most numerously and highly respectably
attended. After the usual toasts,
~.The CHAIRMAN (Sir Edward Major Hawkes), gave, " Long
lioren,_prosperity, happiness, and every blessing this world can
e fer, to their worthy and distinguished guest, Sir Edward
Mostyrt."
Sir The toast was drank with the most enthusiastic spirit.
71 EDWARD MOSTYN rose to acknowledge the compliment,
was received with the most deafening cheers. He rose,
O_ said, with a heart full of gratitude; for their great kindness
.1.? him that day had so subdued and overpowered his feelings, intat he Alt quite incompetent to thank them as he could wish.
yeaas no small gratification to him to know that since the
g re he had lived among them he had had the pleasure of
iving satisfaction to a set of men whom he esteemed so highly
as he did those whom he addressed.—(Cheers.) He could
Only beg that they would accept of the warmest thanks of a
werm-hearted Welshman. (Sir Edward sat down amidst the
and most enthusiastic marks of approbation. The company rose
gave three times three in the heartiest manner.)
Lord TEYNHAM, on giving the health of the young Prince
naraapnoleon, said, that in proposing the health of the illustrious
ger who had honoured their convivial meeting with his
presence, he should merely observe that from the peculiar and
delicate position of Prince Napoleon. it would probably be
_more agreeable to him, as well as satisfactory to the gentle-
oni.e!l•tbere present, for the purpose of expressing their feelings
I;londness and good-v, ill towards his distinguished relative,
r clward Mostyn, that he should abstain from all political
feelailesi,
a ; but be trusted he should not infringe upon such
,ve lags, when he observed that while as Englishmen they
bas re justly proud that even the slave who touches their shores
la his fetters cast to the ground, and becomes free in th:s
"cl of liberty, so much the stronger must be their pride and
,‘llratification to throw open their doors to the illustrious and
rrseeuted stranger, who here sought security, and was cer-
p7e to find repose. And he might, perhaps, also with pro-
ti_Y express their hopes that the splendid name be bore, and
tbr now belonged to history, might cheer him on his way
viacugh life, and that whether, by the dispensations of Pro-
-"cc, that path might lead to glory and a throne, or to the
nlore tr,
most •
anquil and perhaps happier scenes of private life, they
cordially wished him health and prosperity.
esi r u Princes NAPOLEON Louis returned thanks in the English
Infpage as follows---( We give it in the first persen, being
of reporting the Prince's precise words) :—" Gen-
ineTen, I regret very much not to be able to express to you

yed,
far the amiable manner with which you drank my
di ekth' I find myself much gratified to have been invited to a

in% hospitality is one of the first qualities of a people who .
pendent by nature, and generous by its character. , I pro.
