THE DINNER.

At about six o'clock, the company adjourned to the banquet-
ting room, which was splendidly illuminated, and adorned. On
the right of the Mayor sat Lord Liverpool and Mr. Canning;
on his left the Duke of Beaufort and the Bishop of Bath and
Wells. The company consisted of Lord Edward, William,
and Granville, Somerset, Lord Apsley, Sir J. C. Hippisley,
&c. &c., 31embers of Parliament, Alderman Noble, Daniel,
Sir R. Vaughan, &c. &c. ; Sheriffs Gardiner, and C. L. Wal-
ker, and Messrs. Protheroe, George, &e. &c. Esqrs., Mem-
bers of the Common Council : Messrs. Price and Burgess, and
other superior officers; the Master and Wardens of the. Society
of Merchants, and the representatives of the different commer-
cial interests, to the number of one hundred, including the

Fon. Mr. Harvey, son to the Earl of Bristol ; Mr. Wilmot
(teed Liv :Tool's Secretary), and Sir Wm. Boothby.
Atta th • usual toasts of " Church and King," " The Duke
of York and the Royal Family," Duke of York and tbJ
Army," " Duke of Clarence and the Navy."
The MAYOR. rose and said—" I have to propose the health
of a illustrious individual who now honours us with his pre-
sence. Gentlemen, the high and responsible situation which
the Noble Lord holds in his Majesty's Councils has brought
into exercise his splendid talents, his -sound undeviating prin-
ciples, and his exalted virtue. Gentlemen, by such talents—lV
such principles—this country has been raised to an unexampl-
ed height of glory—sto an unprecedented state of wealth and
happiness. I beg to give "I he Health of the Right Hon. the
Earl of Liverpool, First Lord of his Majesty's Treasury
;"
(The toast was drank with great applause.)
Lord LivEuroor. rose, and said—" Gentlemen, I really
do not know how to E.xpress myself, after the handsome mantic
in which you have been pleased to drink my health. I feel
highly grateful for the h0...0ur, though I ant conscious I do not
deserve the high eulogium bestowed on me by your Chief Ma-
gistrate. Gentlemen, if there be any merit on my part, in the
course of the administration of public afliiirs with which I hare
been trusted, that merit consists in gond intentions—l certainly
have used my best endeavours to further the good of my Coun•
try—but neither those good intentions, nor those best endea-
vours would have been successful, if they had not received the
valuable support, and been aided by the talents, of my excel,
lent and able Colleagues, and, above all, if they had not re-
ceived the support of the great commercial as well as other Iry
terests of this country. The result of all our united exertion+
has been the attainment of peace, and my anxious wish is, as do
doubt it is of every one around me, that the prosperity at pre-
sent enjoyed by the country may not only be seemed, but ma,
go on increasing. What that increase may lead to, it is
noble for any man to conceive—that the ancient and loyal tiny
Bristol may largely participate in that increase, is the anxenii
wish of my heart. Gentlemen, I have the honour of drinkil,g
all your good healths."
The MAYOR then rose and said—" 'With frelirgs of gree
gratitude for his attendance, and with feelings of admiration ft
his brilliant talents, he begged to propose the heal]) of the
Right lion. George Canning, his Majesty's Secretary of State
for the Foreign Department.—(Applause.)
Mr. CANNING then said, " Gentlemen, 1 cordially thank
you for the honour you have conferred on me. It is most grew
ful to my feelings to be coupled with the well-known and justlf
appreciated talents of my Noble Friend. Gentlemen, it is he'
possible to contemplate to what extent of glory this country i 3
destined when we recollect the difficulties it has overcoive.
There must be something peculiarly good in the elements Of
a Constitution which produces such effects. I thin!: these ele'
ments are to be found in an enlightened and liberal Nobility!
an active and upright Magistracy—and an able, zealous, ae"
conscientious Clergy.—They are also to be found in those enter
prising commercial communities of this country, which encon'
rage the skill, and stimulate the industry of the people by ample
remuneration. It has been my fate, as I have already had oe•
casion this day to say, to be so connected with commercial cha'
ratters, as duly to appreciate the qualities and virtues of 0
British Merchant. It would appear, Gentlemen, that the whole,
machine of society had received an accelerating impulse, nail
that this country was beginning a course of prosperity, whicn
shall exceed all that has gone before, as much as • the present
exceeds all past expectations." Mr. Canning concluded by er
pressing the high sense he felt of the obligation conferred on hit;
" The J)uke of Beaufort, Lord Lieutenant of the City and
County of Bristol." . _

His'Grace briefly returned thanks.
Lord 141 v E PO 01. here rose, and begged to give a toast.---:
His own health had been given by the Chief Magistrate 01
terms of high compliment, and had been received in the most
flattering manner by the Company, for which he had cxpresst
his obligations. He begged in return to.give the health of ths
Chief Magistate, in doing which it was unnecessary to trout.)ll
them with many words, surrounded as that gentleman was with
his respectable friends and brother Magistrates, who knew ar,
duly appreciated his character much better than: he could, .10
Lordship then commented on the great commercial importance
of Bristol, and,- though it was true that sortie other cities er
celled it in payment of Custom and Excise duties, yet, that S
owing to no fault of Bristol, but to a more numerous popular
tion surrounding those cities ; but none in the kingdom, I!is,
Lordship added, excelled it in the honour and integrity of It'
merchants, or in the loyalty and good conduct of its inP„'
bitants. With great pleasure he therefore gave—" The healt"
of the Mayor."—( Drank with great applause.)
His Worship returned thanks in a very feeling manner.
" The Right Hon. Lord Granville."—" His Majesty's )F'
nisters."

Lord Mir. Ertroor. and Mr. CANNING both rose—His Loll'
ship said, his Right lion. Friend and himself begged to rettul
their personal acknowledgments, and, on behalf of their absv,!),
colleagues, to thank them for the honour. They would also t3P'
care to inform those colleagues of the handsome and bosP!;
table manner in which they had been received and entertainv
by the citizens of Bristol.

" Members of Parliament for the City and County of Brir

Dr. RANDOLPH returned thanks in the absence of the Deal
and expressed a hope, as spiritual Ministers, they should 10,7

Mr. Dtcxxxsow returned his most hearty and grater"!
acknowledgments. As one of the Representatives of that Pre
pulous and wealthy county, he could bear testimony to rite
satisfaction of his constituents in the general administration °
the country.

Sir TH &Has LETHBRIDGE most cordially joined in these

I,ON DON,
SATURDAY• EVENING, .I.IN. 15, 1825.

The Paris Papers of Wed"esday confirm the
-intelligence we announced yesterday of the death
of the king of NAPLES. His son, FRANCIS I. on
aiceading the throne issued a decree confirming
all the existing authorities.
Thine Journals contain some curious and im-
Portant documrilts detailing the progress and con-
rhisiou of the late fruitless negotiation between
Fl'ance and Hayti, for the acknowledgment by
the former of the independence of the latter. We
have Inserted the Proclamation of President
13°'rElt, which gives a simple and apparently
faithful account of these transactions, and also a
s3oonary of the proceedings of the llaytian
Peputles with M. ESMANGART, the Prefect of the
Lower Rhine, who was appointed to conduct
lb" negociation on the part of France. The
Punic faith of the French Government is con-
'Picuous throughout the whole of the transac-
"blis ; while the conduct of the Hay tian Pre-
*lent and his agents is marked by the greatest
frankness, honour, and good faith.
The South American question is still the sub-
.l,!ct of earliest discussion with the French Jour-
"lists, but it is treated in a more reasonable and
niollerate tone by the Royalist Papers. The
Joigrnal dcs Debals sets forth, In an eloquent
article from the pen of M. de CHATEAUDRIAND,
the advantages of the conduct adopted by this
e""try, and contends that it would have been
the best policy of France to have become the
rival of England in the new States of South Ame-
ric•a) by gaining

course, even now, would be to follow our ex-
"'Pk, rattler than to embark her resources
I" a hopeless struggle to maintain the Mo-
archical principle in the Americas. It seems,
mwever, that such designs are not entirely
4balldoDed, for, according to the following ex-
tract from the Constitutionnel, FERDINAND of
• pain intends to make one
,more effort for the re-
ostablisbment of his authority in his former king-
dom of the Indies.

( From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.)
the affair of the disputes between the Generals Olaneta and
Berna has latterly occupied our Government almost exclu-
'itelY% its chief care being now directed to the preservation of
our Colonies in the Pacific. Many Councils have been held to
decide the knotty point as to which of the Generals the Govern-
Inent shall support ; it was still undecided yesterday ; but to-
-4% fearing that a continuance of these disputes may give a
,death-blow to the cause of the Mother Country in Peru, a step
still has been decided
In upon, which may tend to exasperate them
ore, Wit 3 determined that the delegates of those

Generals should convey fresh orders and decorations to the
respective Chiefs, and assurances of the entire confidence which
his Majesty had in their courage and loyalty, and of the ap-
probation which their conduct and services had produced.

We are also assured, that it was this day decided to send
1:2,000 fresh troops to Peru ; that the Minister of the Indies
should be established on the same footing as at the time of the
Count de Galvez ; that General Apodaca, Viceroy of Na-
varre, and fin-in.:fly of Mexico, should take the portfolio of
Minister of the Indies; that the Supreme Council of the
Indies should immediately name two Intendant Generals, for
the purpose of hastening the expedition ; and that they should
select some of the officers of Artillery now in Spain, who
had formed part of the expedition commanded by General
3lorillo, and send them out in the first ships quitting our
ports.

As to the sources from whence the heavy expences of this
expedition are to be defrayed, thee rely on the Church Re-
venues which the Clergy propose temporarily to give up, and
on the receipts arising from the seventh of the property of the
Monastic Orders, the sale of which was granted to Charles the
Fourth, by a hill of the Sovereign Pontiff; and which has only
been in part executed.

Pants, .JAY.
The Commissioners of the Marine in our ports have been
directed by his Excellency the Minister of Marine and the
Colonies to apprise the merchants who may have vessels in the
roads of Ilavannah, that a frigate, a brig, and a corvette, on the
Antilles station, will form a subdivision to be stationed otr the
Ilavannah, to he specially employed in the protection of French
merchantmen against the pirates, with which those roads

the Inspector-General of French Commerce in the island of
(:üba. The command of this division will be entrusted to M.
Cuvillier, the Captain of the Nymphe frigate.
