PUBLIC DINNER AT HEREFORD.

On Monday last a numerous assemblage of the
Freemen and others, determined to support Mr. Clive as can•
didate for the representation of Hereford, at the next election,
met that Gentleman at a dinner to which they had invited bite,
at the Green Dragon inn, Hereford. .
Sir G. CORNEWALL, the chairman, addressed the elect-
ing in terms of the highest respect and most cordial esteem to-
wards Mr. Clive. He assured them that in his opinion Mr.
Clive was in every respect qualified to represent them in Par.
Bement. They had known him as a neighbour said a friend
nearly 30 years, and he felt that his birth and connexions, his
rank and fortune, his integrity and talent, his high sense, of
honour, his public independence, and his private worth, were
such as could not fail to make leien..a proper object of Oleic
choice. For himself, he had no doubt of the favourable result
of the present contest, and he should give his vote and interest
to Mr. Clive, " with all his heart and all his soul." He theti
proposed, " Health anti success to Mr. Clive ;" which was
ceived with universal acclamation.
Mr. CLIVE thanked Sir G. Cornewall for the many marks
of kind friendship he had shown him. lie observed, diet at
many political meetings in this city he bad declared his public
sentiments--sentirnents which he assured the present meeting
remained unaltered ; for the more he considered them, the mg
was he confirmed in their propriety : but, fortunately, `MITAor'

period. Some changei, also, (in his mind much for the better),
had taken place in his 3lajesty's Councils. The present Seem
tary for Foreign affairs seemed to adopt more enlarged and libe• •
sal line of policy than his predecessor, and appeared to abandon
the principles of the " Holy Alliance." He conceived thstallisnee
to beniostimproperly if not blasphemously socalled, and he coil?ti
view it in no other light than a conspiracy of crowned heeds_ ,
against the liberties of mankind. The present Chswllor of
the Exchequer was mueli superior, in every respect, to his
decessor, and afforded hopes of gradual amelioration in ltis tie.

Holy Alliance was a leading feature of improvement in our.fe7

advantages he looked to the necessity of a House d Ord
