very heavy, and the fall of the prices coatirmed by private

at Is. 6d. The demand for Brandy has subsided, but there
are no parcels offering at reduced prices. Geneva is still
neglected.

the late advance.

The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, computed
from the Returns made in the week ending May 17, is 255. 4 3.4 d,

At Mantz, where the National Guards of the can-
t Ons of Magny, Limay, Mantes, and Houdan, had
assembled to the amount of 7,500, his Majesty was
received by the Mayor, and addressed by the Sub-
Prefect of the Civil Tribunal.

A triumphal arch bore the following device:—
" Autrefois soldat pour la gloire,aujourdhui roi pour
notre bonheur."
From St. Cloud to the boundaries of the de-
partment of the Seine and Oise, the people formed
a procession on each side of the road, carrying tri-
coloured banners, flags, and boughs of trees.
The authorities, the inhabitants, triumphal arches,
the spontaneous and repeated expression of joy, and
the addresses, dictated by the feelings of the heart,
all tended to heighten the scene. In divers places
the clergy were also seen making their professions of
attachment, a movement more remarkable, as all was
left an affair of free will. We learn these facts from
every letter which we receive, and which the cor-
respondents of all the journal:, if sincere, can testify.
The above is a brief statement of the reception the
King has met with as far as the frontiers of the de-
partment of Dire, where it may be already seen, by
tlie example of Vernon, that a like one awaits him;
and where he has been received by the Prefect of
that department, and Lieut.-General Teste, com-
manding the division which accompanied his al..
jesty to his castle at Bezy. For the rest, the is
in these public demonstrations an agreement between
the circumstances which we have just bcen de-
scribing, and those which are still about to occur,
too significant to be misunderstood. It is an excla-
mation of confidence which the French people have
thought proper to pronounce on all sides to the
throne—not to secure it, for it is already strong in
the consciousness of its intentions, but to preset.% e
some visionaries from their illusions, by showing them
the great unpopularity of their views.

The i continues in perfect health, in spite of
the fatigues attendant upon so much excitement.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated
Vienna, May 7 :—" Dwernicki, and several of his
officers, will be conducted to Laybach, the rest of his
staff will.go to Gratz; and the troops will be sent
back ieto the country."
(From the National of May 18.)
The Indicaleur of Bordeaux of the 14th says,
" Two battalions of the 9th regiment received orders
yesterday to set out for La Rochelle, where they are
to replace the 7th and 41st, which are ordered to
proceed by forced marches to La Vendee. These
two battalions set out to-morrow when the tide is
favourable."
phic dispatch, addressed to the Lieut.-
The Memorial relates the same fact as follows :
Lieut.-
General e‘ n' eAratlel egra
commandinga the Eleventh Military Division,
transmits orders to him to make the first two bat-
talions of the 9th regiment of the Line, now in
garrison at Bordeaux, set out immediately for La
Rochelle. The real cause of this movement is un-
known ; some persons think that these troops are
going to join those which are ordered to the depart-
ments of the Two Sevres and La Vendee. Others
think, and perhaps with more reason, that they will
embark at Rochefort, and form part of the army
going to Portugal."
The 4Gth Regiment, coming from Paris, where it
was reviewed on the 2d of May, has just arrived
hire. On its arrival each man received thirty ball
cartridges, and on the following day the regiment
set out for La Vendee. The depot of the regiment,
which was at St. Omer, has been removed to Blois.
(From the Gazette de France of Wednesday.)
MAY 17.—General Joanes, commanding
PARIS,
the department of the Two Sevres, has just arrived
expected in three or four days. It seems
at Bressuire, in order to form a camp. The regi-
ments which are to compose it are on their march,
and are
that on their arrival the arrondissement will be de-
clared in a state of siege, and that men will be Quar-
tered in the houses of the relations of all the refrac-
tory conscripts who compose the band of Diot.
The Arrondissernerit of Vitro is threatened with
a similar measure. "If it should lie executed," says
Gazette de Bretagne," a whole arrondissement
be placed out of the pale of the law, and the
!s altogether subjected to a military die-

Sir ROBERT PEEL—I beg leave to propose,-as
the next toast, " The Army of England," and in
doing so I shall make no apology for connecting
with it the name of my Illustrious Friend the Duke
of Wellington.—(Cheers.) At the pr, sent tirre
he stands in no official relation to the army ; but you
will agree with me that no circumstance can ever
sever the connection which now exists between tl:e
glory of the British army and the services of the
Duke of Wellington.—(Cheers.) " The Duke of
Wellington and the Army."—Three dines three.
Tune—" The Duke of York's March."

SAMUEL TiLECOTE, Esq.—Gentlemen, having
had the honour and pleasure of nominating the
Right Hon. Baronet on the day of election, 1 have
now the additional gratification of proposing to you
as a toast, his health and happiness.—(Loud cheers.)
I know that my Right Hon. Friend will soon tell
you how much he feels honoured by your choice ;
but I congratulate the town of Tamworth more than
I do him upon the election you have made.—
(Cheers.) We have been assailed with slander and
scurrility, all of which will, I hope, be speedily
buried in oblivion; but the brilliant intellectual
qualities, great talents. and unimpeachable integrity
of Sir Robert Peel, our worthy representative, will
never be forgotten.—(Cheers.) I give you, " The
health of Sir Robert Peel."—This toast was re-
ceived with cheering, which lasted for some minutes,
in the midst of which

Sir ROBERT PEEL rose—Gentlemen, I would
much rather refer you to the feelings which now
animate your own breasts as a test of what mine
must necessarily be, than trust to any imperfect ex-
pression of my sentiments upon this most flattering
occasion. I assure that the warmth and cordiality
with which you have received the toast proposed
by my valued friend is mutually felt. You can,
therefore, best understand and appreciate my emo-
tions. It has not been my fault that our meeting
has been postponed to so late a period—a meeting
to which I looked forward with so much satisfaction.
Nothing but considerations, the weight and import-
ance of which you will feel, compelled me to post-
pone this invariable custom—a custom which,"
hope, I shall long enjoy—the pleasure of meeting
my constituents in social and convivial society.—
(Cheers.)—Gentlemen, the day upon which you did
me the honour of returning me to Parliament was
accompanied by melancholy recollections, arising
from its being the annversary of my lamented
father's death. Duties were consequently imposed
upon me, as the executor of his will, which I could
not forego, and which rendered my presence in
London all-important and necessary. I now avail
myself, on my return to this loved spot, of the op-
portunity of once more expressing to you my cordial
attachment to your interests, and my best wishes for
your future prosperity and happiness. Gentlemen,
I have little to say on political subjects, as I have
already in the proper place, when I presented
myself in the most perfect confidence for your suf-
frages, explained my views and opinions upon the
all-absorbing question of the day. But, when making
my canvass, 1 recollect some one objected to me—
(who it was I forget, for the remark occasioned no
in my mind)—because it had been stated
that I had declared in Parliament the Reform Bill
would not affect me, as, from the influence of my
property in Tamworth, I was sure of my return.
Gentlemen, I honour the man who candidly avowed
his opposition to me on this ground ; but I most
positively and unequivocally deny that I ever mad;
such an assertion.—(Cheers.) I never boasted of the
influence of my property, nor shall ever set any
value upon a seat in Parliament, unless with it I
enjoy the good opinion and confidence of my con.
stituents.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I am proud of
being returned to Parliament by this independent
and ancient borough, because I can attribute the
honour you have conferred upon me to nothing else
but a general confidence in my principles and cha-
racter.—(Cheers.) I say general confidence, not
because I conceive that you all agree with me on all
political questions. There are many, doubtless, in
this room, who differ from me on many subjects,
but. who, at the same time, have that general confi-
dence in my character that they conceive themselves
justified in rendering me their support. So strongly
do I feel that this is the case, that 1 am supported by
many who, upon some points, from conviction, enter-
tain different views to myself, that, if I personally
knew any such gentleman in the room, I should not
hesitate to propose his health.—(Cheers.) Gentle-
men, the chief lesson I have learnt in public life is
toleration. While I claim the right of thinking and
speaking on all political subjects, as my judgment
shall dictate, I honour and respect ale man who,
from conviction, in the exercise of the same right,
differs from me.—(Cheers.) lf, however, differing

Tam worth and his family, which it was the great
object of his life to promote.—(Cheer=.) Gentlemen,
I did think I could have made co adequate return
for the distinguished manner in which you have re-
ceived me ; but I now recollect there is one toasr,
the pleasure of which will more than compensate
for the favour you have conferred on me. I call upon

Chairman for obtruding himself upon the attention
of the company; but %%hen he mentioned the name
of Mr. William Peel he was sure every heart would.
vibrate with sentiments of the most cordial esteem
and respect.—(Cheers.) They were, doubtless,
aware that Mr. W. Peel had recently been returned
for the University of Cambridge by a most,
triumphant majority. He hoped he should not he
considered tedious, nor utter any sentiments which
would disturb the harmony of the company; but it
c nild rot be concealed that if ever there was a period
when Englishmen were called upon to exercise their
franchise with sound d'Scretion, and to elect men of
talent, judgment, and character, that crisis has
now arrived. Whatever might be said of the
great measure recently brought forward by his Ma-
jesty's Ministers, it was at least a bold measure:
and whenever courage was required there must, of
necessity, be some degree of hazard. They should,
therefore, be satisfied that the representatives they
elected were men of tried principles, sound judg-
ment, and of sufficient firmness and caution to act
and legislate amid all the struggles of contending,
parties. He had been delighted on the day of- no-
mitation with the eloquent defence which the Hon.
B nronet had then made of his political conduct, and
the peace, harmony, and neighbourly feeling, which
he then. so beautifully inculcated. The highest enlo, •
gium he could pass on the conduct of Mr. W. Peel
was that ire trod in the steps of his brother.—
(Cheers.) He begged leave to conclude by pro-
posing his good health.—(Cheers.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL, said he cordially joined in
drinking the health of his brother, and could not
but rejoice most sincerely in the successful result of
the Cambridge contest.—(Cheers.) It was in vain
to deny that his brother's return for the Univers4)
was upon public principle—his hostility to the mea-
sure of Reform introduced by his Majesty's Mini-
sters. The contest was a contest upon principle,
and he (Sir Robert) most assuredly saw causes for
triumph in the result —(Cheers.) The two Uni.
vershies had shown themselves adverse to the con-
templated measure. When speaking of the Univer-
sities, he could not but reflect upon the extraordi-
nary vicissitudes of his own family. Two brothers
had represented both Universities. Mr. William
Peel was now elected as one of the representatives
far Cambridge, for maintaining opinions at variance
with the Government ; while he (Sir Robert)
lost his seat for Oxford, the highest and most dis-
tinguished object of his ambition, because he advo-
cated a measure which at that time he conscienti-
ously believed to be essential to the best interests of
the State.—(Cheers.) He (Sir R.) had never been
the decided supporter of ally band of political

discredit in relinquishing opinions or measures, and
adopting others more suited to the altered circum-
stances of the country. For this course of proceed-
ing he had been censured by opposite parties : by'
those who, upon all occasions, thought no changes
were required, as well as by those who, in his opi-
nion, were the advocates of too violent and sudden
innovations. That middle course, however, he
would continue to pursue.—(Cheers) lie held it
to be impossible for any statesman to adopt one'
fixed line of policy under all circumstances; and the
only question with him when he departed from that
line should be—" Am I actuated by any interested
or sinister motive, or do I consider the measures I

as any one he now addressed. He begged leave to
give Mr. Edmund Peel.—(Three times three.)
Sir ROBERT PEEL rose to propose a toast to the
Corporation of Tamworth. In these days of prc-
fessed enlightenment, he knew it was the fashion to
decry corporations. He, however, looked upon them
as the connecting link between ages past and present
times, He was therefore bound, Ly attachment, by
gratitude, and by duty, to maintain, as far as he was
able, their ancient privileges. For the same reason
he should, to his utmost power, defend, as he had
already defended, the elective franchise of their
ancient borough.—(Cheers.) He was speaking, he
knew, inn the hearing of many, to whom, according
to the propossd Bill, the elective franchise would be
extended ; and whom he might probably at his next
election have to canvass. He hoped they would
not quote his present speech against him. Hemust,
however, fairly tell them he was bound to protect
the privileges of the electors of Tamworth—privi-
leges they had enjoyed ever since the reign of Eli-
zabeth, and never, to his knowledge, in one instance
abused them.—(Cheers.) There WaS no pretence
whatever for their disfranchisement ; nor could he
see that such a step as the one contemplated.hy his
Majesty's Ministers could be taken without at
once shaking confidence in the security of all pro-
perty.—(Cheers.) He concluded by proposing the
health of the Bailiffs and Corporation of Tamworth.
ROBERT FOWLER, Esq. (Bailiff,) in briefly re-
turning thanks, expressed his will and desire, on all
occasions, to promote the best interests of the bo-
rough.
' Several other toasts were then drank, and
Sir ROBERT, after a short, but humourous ad-
dress, quitted the chair about twenty minutes past
eleven, and was succeeded by Mr. Tylecote. The
whole entertainment, up to the time the Right Hon.
Baronet " accepted the Chiltern Hundreds," passed
off with the greatest good humour. It cannot be
denied, after the scene of Wednesday, that Sir
Robert is highly popular in Tamworth. We do
not come to this opinion from what passed in the
Town-hall merely. Throughout the town there
were evident marks of the highest respect evince.]
by the inhabitants generally.

LUDICROUS CASE OF ROBBERY.—A few
days ago a robbery was committed, which caused a great
laugh against the tradesman who .was plunderett:—A
well-dressed " victimizer," whose general apparel a
pair of very indifferent shoes disgraced, wall int, a
bootmaker's shop in the city, and asked for a particularly-
neat pair of Wellingtons. He was rather a fastidious cus-
tomer, but the master of the shop at last fitted him with
great exactness. " What's the price ? "'said he, stamping
with his right foot, to fasten himself immovably in the
new purehase. Before an answer could be given, in darted
n stranger to the chap, struck the booted customer a violent
blow in the Elise, knocked him fiat, and then ran off. • Tire
insulted person leaped up, with the blood streaming from
his nose, and ()tying out " Where's the villain who
assaulted me ?" ran out at full speed to catch the aggressor.
" I watider," said the owner of the shop, " will the gen-
tleman catch that rascal ; I am afraid the boots will cramp
him ; I thought they were too light, and it's a pity if the
fellow escape." " Catch him," said the shopman, ta,king
at the old pair of mud-plunAers which the " victirnivr"
left behied, " I'll be blest if they an'c bath in it fa-t
enough." " What !" said the master, "do you mean nr
say that the gentleman will the bloody nose won't easue
}lack ?" "To he sure I do," answered the shoputaeF
what would he come back for ? Hasn't he got 8 tio',o4
p tir of boots for bi 3 bloody nese
