• necess:fiy to enlarge their plan, in order to gratify
those who wished to testify their regard and tenera.

twilit Which generally attends public meetings,-

given, -and received with warinapplause, the bake

concluding with icing, " The lettnoriarMemory

toast was receiveci in silence and with a solemn '
keveyence that deeply .4freeled the whole company.'
The other toasts and ,eeitiments were then given in

Mr. CANNING, ttter the toast, had been gieen
which refer to Portugal, Spain, and Austria, :nose
amidst the- warmest cutler& ulations of the company,
and del!vered the following speech
Gentlemen, it 'has beets suggested to me from.
the Criatr, that it woeld be desirable to convey to"
the company some expression of the sentiments
11,s Majesty's. Goeernment upon the'subjai of the
three toasts last given.- 141 compliance with that de-
sire, I rise to stele, • however inadequately, that his
,11fla,p sty's 10inisters adopting, the principle an wisely
maintained, and so. happily aaed upon by Mr. Pitt,
are persuaded, that while Britain ought alwto to be
prepared to detend herself on British ground, her
defence is best provided for by not waning frir that
necessity, but by opposing lawless ambition and ty*
fanny in their first invasions of those more, aceessi..
hie and ksss powerful States, whose subjugattoo it
would he necessary to make the prelude and the
weans Q any
,attempt upon us ; and by holding
forth thebest and promptest aid to every nation that
has, the fortitude to struggle kir freedom and inde-
pendence, the first principles of British policy,
Against ooprin4led invades. In conformity with “,
this pritaaple, his Majesty's Government has resolved
to ',give its best ascisrance to our struggling Allies,
and I have the. salt4.olon to state, That while the
first, object is to benefit the cause of the, rights of
Dattobs, no part of the aid thus given can fail to prcee
dttce• effeLta beueficial to Britain as welt as t 4 f?u
repo. On the Prince of Brazil the sopport that hair
been given, and coniiitees to be given by this court•
try, has made the deepeq impression, and has con-
fit-AO to us a faithful Ally, in whom attachment to
Britain is now the first and leading.prineiple of feel-
'hg lied policy. inaiduig the' cause Of Senile the
conduct of his Majesty's Government has not teen
attended with a less . favourable .eafeti. The sup-
plies furnished to the Spanish nation have been re..
cowed in a manner wkich'eftteeds fatly thing that
could bOccuiceived from the known charadeg of the
people. The expressions of a4nowledgment
formly made, skew that the sense of the benefits
conferred have superseded one of the known Om.,
ratieristics of the Spanish people; they prove that a
nation, proverbially proud, can ,be beyond humility
grateful; and that men, whose nature would seem to
repel obligation, can be indissotaly, bound, by its
force. The spirit that animates the Spanish people,and
,that cannot be extinguished even where the manifest ;.
ation of it is overawed be the powerof the enemy,will,
it is to be hoped, ultimately effuel the deliverance caf
than country; but let the event be what, it may, the
generous aid of Britain-tam never he- effaced troll;
grateful minds of the Spanish people—(,Lmid up-
plause).—With respeB to the Emperor of Austria,
though his arms ate involved ie calamities, which
it is to be hoped are but temporary, it woultfisa in-
, consistent with the generous principles of British
policy, not to afford him the necessary aid from the
resources of Britain is' long as the dialcultiesiof the
contest last, And as be may be likely to avail himself

of it with beneficial effect. The Emperor of An-
.stria, the
,Princes of his house, and the people at
large, were award ot.-t he difiicultie; (if
,i 4t. contest
its which they had engaged, and .16
,possbility of
adverse issue was not unforeseen, bnt rePeAted iii.
suits and intolerable wrongs had determined both
the Sovereign and the People to brave destiv(9lBb
itself, in the hope that the chances of the struggle
may make the just cause the successful. one, and
that the result may belhe re•establishment of their
national independence. Under those circumstance*
the people and the Sovereign mils( be looked upon,
as prepared for sufferings and exertiong of an extent
.which will not permit us to believe that either their
patience or their resources will be exhausted without
a long and arduous contest. It is 014 duty to sup•
port them oat only white they have a chance of bei+
ing successful, but while they remain unsubduett.—
The contest is not evenno,s, hopeless; and if at last,
unhappily, the righteous cause should, not succeed,
and Austria should fall, even then the straggle will
nut have been made in vain . for Europe."--..(40ud
and repeated applautes.)
The toast relating to Sir Armfuls WILLItSaY ,
was received with such ardent and reiterated butte
of applause, that his brother, the Hon. W. Vsr,
Pout, was induced to Title and thank Ole company.
He modestly but-firmly mentioned hl,s 'brother, oh.
Serving, that he 4vas sure he would do his dy on
all occasions with zeal, andlhat he would be highly
gratified whit the limour which had been pail to
him this day, concluding with declaring, that his
brother had been brought up in the political %churl
of Mr. Par, and was proud of always ailing upon
his princtplea. Mr. CANNING'S admirable sotig,
" The Pilot that weather'd the Storm," with a few
alterations. accisioned by the death of its illustrious
subjea, was sung by Mr. DWNOM, and received a
heart-felt tribute of applause. The rest at the toasts,
