TRIUMPHANT ENTRY of MR. ATTWOOD

INTO BIRMINGHAM.

Monday was a proud day for Mr. Attwood. It having
been made known by the Council of the Political Union,
by means of placards, that on that day he would return
from London, it was immediately determined to give him
a public reception. Arrangements were accordingly made,
and in the course of the morning of Monday it was evident
that the occupiers of houses on the whole line in which he
would proceed had been industriously employed during the
short period allowed for preparation. Almost every house
exhibited a banner, and numerous triumphal banners, em-
blazoned with appropriate devices and mottoes, extended
across the streets. In the course of the day a carriage and
four went out to meet Mr. Attwood at Coventry ; but the
population of that city, previously aware of his passing
through, met him a mile before reaching Coventry. Thou-
sands went out for this purpose. The horses were taken
from his carriage, and he was dragged in triumph through
the city. On leaving Coventry, Mr. Attwood, accornpaoied
by W. Boulibee, De B. Attwood, and W. G. Lewis, Esqrs.
(members of the deputation), proceeded at a rapid rate
towards Birmingham. At Stone-bridge they were met by
numerous horsemen and carriage company from Birming-
ham; and at Yardley, four miles from town, the crowd so
thickened upon them, that it was found difficult to proceed
at more thin a walking pace. Between here and Birming-
ham the cavalcade was immense. At Small Heath a
triumphant banner extended across the road, on which was
inscribed, " Attwood and liberty." The cheering at this
point was deafening. Mr. Attwood alighted at the house
of Thomas Potts, Esq. where, with his friends, he was en-
tertained at lunch. The deputation was here joined by
Joshua Scholefield, Esq., G. T. ➢Lantz, Esq., and numer-
ous other gentlemen of influence from Birmingham. The
procession, unexampled in point of splendour, proceeded
on its way to Birmingham, amidst the cheers of countless
thousands. Every window and the tops of houses were
crowded with enthusiastic spectators. AIN Attwood oc-
cupied the front seat of the carriage, and returned the con-
gratulations of his friends with courtesy. The procession
moved through Deritend, Digbeth, the Bull-ring, and
H gh-street, into New street. On reaching the bank of
Messrs. Attwood and Spooner, Mr. Attwood alighted,
and addressed the multitude irons the balcony of the Hen
and Chickens ; he lamented that owing to the lateness of
the evening (nearly nine o'clock) he could not proceed
farther in procession, and advised the whole of his friends
to separate quiet'y to their several homes. After repeated
cheers, with his request the populace complied. The day
will be long remembered in Birmingham.

CELEBRATION OF THE KING'S BIRTH,

DAY AT MANCHESTER.

MANCHESTER, MAY 29.

There has been a sad falling off this year in the spirit
and gayety with which the King's birthday has been
heretofore celebrated, although it was expected from the
recent turn which affairs have taken, and from the prepa-
rations which were making, that it would have gone off
with the usual splendour. A procession of all the military
in the town, the municipal authorities, pensioners, &c.
&c. had been advertised to take place yesterday, and the
gentlemen of the town were invited to join it. At the time
of mustering there were not more than ten individuals, and
with this scanty accompaniment the procession set off
to Ardwick-green, where there was a great number of
spectators. Here a feu de joie was fired, and the parties
returned home again. In the evening, according to cus-
tom, a dinner was held in the Exchange dining-room.
Covers had been laid for 200 gentlemen, but there were
not more than about 150 present. The company consisted
mostly of the old Tories who have been from time imme-
morial accustomed to attend these scenes. The Borough-
reeve presided, On the health of the King being
given as Duke of Lancaster, it was certainly given
with four times four, but in a most cheerless
and insipid manner, and the character of the company may
be best gleaned from the manner in which the next toast
—" the Queen"—.was drunk. It was received with tre-
mendous cheering. The health of his Majesty's Minis-
ters was given, and received very coldly indeed. The
whole affair was of a most contemptible description, and
his Majesty's popularity here has sadly fallen off. In Sal-
ford they could not muster a procession at all. Six or
seven individuals went for the purpose, but
walked home again. About one hundred gentlemen met
the Boroughreeve at the Town Hall, over a good dinner,
and spent the evening in a most convivial manner, es-
chewing as much as possible all party politics ; but it could
not be concealed that the feelings of the majority of the
people were not much in approval of his Majesty's recent
conduct. Several attempts were made in the town to get up
private dinner parties, but they nearly all tailed. About the
same time that the procession was going on, about 1,000 ra-
gamuffins met in the far-famed St. George's-fields, pursu-
ant to the terms of a placard which had been plentifully
posted about the town, for the purpose of considering the
propriety of reducing rents, according to the pressure of
the times. The principal orator was a worthy, named
Morrow, who has lately emerged from the New Bailey,
where he has been domiciled for a few months,
from an inability to find sureties to keep the
peace for that period, he having been convicted
of an assault arising out of the weavers' turn-out. Most
of the parties came from the neighbourhood of Cropper-
street and Newtown, where for years past little or no rent
has ever been paid, and where a bailiff dare not show his
face. After a good deal of speechifying, it was sagely re-
solved to pay no more rents, a resolution which the great
majority of them had acted upon for a long time previously.
The agitation which prevailed to such an extent in this
town during the memorable " ten days " had entirely dis-
appeared; but the respectable Reformers are keeping an
anxious look-out, ready to act with spirit if any emer-
gency should call them out. Business has been and con-
tinues dreadfully bad ; most of the warehouses might as
well be closed fur what trade they are doing. It is sin-

MEETING OF THE DEPUTIES IN

OPPOSITION.
The assemblage of the Opposition Deputies has
struck the Ministry to the heart. During the two
days it was the object of the most violent attacks of
certain journals. The terror which was thus exhi-
bited could not fail to betray embarrassment. The
wisdom and the moderation of the Deputies rendered
these declamations powerless. On the one side mo-
deration showed strength and just right, whilst on
the other the spite and slender means which it sum-
moned to its aid proved that it had neither strength
nor reason.

A Committee was appointed for the purpose of
preparing the expression of the opinion of the Depu-
ties present at the meeting, and of all the grievances
urged by the Opposition during the last session.
It was wished to prove that the Members who
composed it recollected with regret some passing
discords respecting questions of form or opportunity
which had accidentally disturbed the homogeneity of
the Opposition; but that whatever might have been
their opinions, more or less violent upon some slight
questions, they were still intimately united upon
questions of principle, and with regard to important
acts which required to be seriously considered.
Lafitte and M. Comenin—M. Barrot and M.
Mauguin—M. Lafayette and M. Comte—were
named ; and it seemed that in thus opposing merely
names to names, the elements of discord and war
might be set in motion.
It is not, however, in point of fact astonishing
that M. Lafayette, the first defender, and M. Co-
menin, the most vigorous champion of the sove-
reignty of the people—that M. Barrot and M. Mau-
guin, who have fraternally pursued a career of elo-
quence and patriotism--that M. Lafitte and M.
Comte, a courageous Deputy and writer, of the first
days of the restoration—should be agreed respecting
the great principles of the Revolution, brought about
for the triumph of the sovereignty of the people, and
in hatred of the restoration—a revolution which they
all honour, which they all want to proceed, and
which they are all ready to defend.
The Committee has already met severs! times ;
and we believe we may state that it has been una-
nimous on all the points intended to form the basis
of its labours. We believe we are authorised in
saying that it comprehends the whole extent of its
powers, that it will not shrink from the assertion of
any true principle or its consequences, and that the
result of the meeting of these Hon. Members will
be of a nature to satisfy all the friends of the revo-
lution of July, and of the Government which it
founded.

Let the Deputies revive and defend the rights of
the revolution—let them recall to the recollection
of the Government its domestic duties, and its true
interests—let them speak if it must be so, in bold
and severe language—let them express at the same
time the ideas of the Opposition as to the system
of Government and its general principles of policy
and organization applicable to present circumstancei,
and they will reduce their adversaries to silence,
they will have set up a light before which no one
can shut his eyes, and they will, in every way, have
rendered a service to the throne, and deserve well
of the country.
A note has been addressed by the Conference to
the King of Holland, inviting him to send Pleni-
potentiaries to London for the purpose of negotiat-
ing the definitive Convention between Holland and
Belgium.

Several journals have spoken of notices given at
the Tuileries, respecting the importance of existing
circumstances, by an illustrious Marshal, who is
known to be particularly honoured by the favour
and friendship of an illustrious personage.
It is stated that, enlightened himself, after some
hesitation in his political conduct respecting the
real dangers which menace the Government and the
revolution of July, the old Minister has discovered
that it is time there should no longer be any but
two colours in France, the blues and the whites,
and that the former should be treated in such a way
as to take away all hope from the second.
May this consideration soon preside over the con-
duct of the Government, and let its origin be traced
to the early days of August, 1830, when there were
but two parties in France, the friends and the ene-
mies of the revolution of July.

PARIS, MAY 27.—Reports of a very recent date
having put the Government in possession of infor-
mation that the agitators were preparing a move-
ment in Le Boccage (Vendee) measures were taken
to frustrate every attempt.
Assemblages of factious individuals were met on
several point, of Boccage during the day of the 23d,
and were dispersed. Some personages, more or less
marked, were taken with arms in their hands ;
amongst this number are the Sieurs de Chievre, ex-
Chef de escadron of the Staff, Desmenard, de Saintes,
four of the ex-Royal Guards, and two or three
young persons of Bressuire and Parthenay.
The prompt repression of this attempt will prove
to the factious that authority is awake, and that it
knows how to act with vigour. The Government,
for the frustration of the conspiracies of the parti-
sans of the fallen dynasty, will exhaust all the means
with which it is provided by the law.
New reports are announced. We shall hasten to
make known the details.—Moniteur.
