The Earl ut LIVERPO6I. then rose and observed,
that he had. to propose a toast, which, he enter-
ti.immed nu doubt, would be highly pleasing to
1114 present, he meant the health of the Nob!,
Chaitman, the Duke of ‘Vellington. He felt
assnred, that no Society was assembled in
Great Britain, to commemorate the great event
which they were then celebrating, which

bad contributed so effectually and perma-
nently to the delivery of all the nations of
Europe from the o,raldoto under which they had
groaned, or with which they had beet, threatened.
The Noble Duke, whom he was proud to call
his friend, was a distingulitied ornament of the
sC•.OOi of Mr. Pitt ; and had that illustrious States-
nno, by the blessing of Providence, lived-to see the
glorious termination of .a conflict in which this

sters of his Majesty, who, -adhering to the prin-
ciples of Mr. Pitt, had endeavoured to follow hi&
footsteps, he could only say, that they had la-
boured to assist, as far AS wus possible, by the
most strenuous efforts, in bringing about the
much ‘Vishett for consummation, aylmich was so
,successfully effected by his Noble‘Triend.—His
Lordship concluded by proposiog• " the health
of his Grace the Duke of Wellington," which
was received with bursts of the most animated
applause.

The Duke of WELLINGTON expressed his deep
sense of the honour conferred on him, by the mat -
tier in which his health was proposed and received
by the Club. He could attribute this only to the
cOnvietion, that he was sure was entertained, of
the zeal with which he had always upheld the
principles of Mr. Pitt. For his zeal in defence of
these principles, he had, during the lifetime of
Ihjt illustrious Statesman', received the warm tri-
bute or his applauSe. But the elfects of his zeal
would have been but small in the conflict in which
he had been engaged,, if he hail not received the
warm sup Port of his Noble Friend, and his other
friends, who then surrounded

After the applauses which followed the last
toast had subsided, the Noble ',CHAIRMAN pro-
lowed— '
"'!'he House of Brunswick, and may they never forget the
principles mhich seated them on the Throne of these realms."

Mr. CARTwitIGHT,
,M. P. then rose, and pro-
posed the health of his Majesty's Ministers,—.l
toast which would require no comment or illus-
tration; when it was recollected that to them and
to their exertions, the country and the world owed
the possession of the greatest benefits—a glorious
peace. To them and to their measures, founded
or; the principles of Mr. Pitt, was the security cif
this blessing to be attributed, and he hoped that
they would long continue to receive the assist
ance rind support of the country, which, in his
conscience, b 4 believed they deserved.—(Ap-
plause.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose, and addressed
the assembly, and at the same time the other Mi-
nisters who were present rose, and continued to
stand during his Lordship's speech. He took the
liberty for himself and the other ilLuisters of his
Majesty, his associates who were present, to,
return their most sincere thanks for the ho
flour conferred- on them by the Club. Ile
know no words sufficient to convey his feel-
ings on the present occasion. .FOr twenty-five
years be bad been a Minister, or connected with
:the Ministry, and always had maintained the
principles of MN Pitt, and he hoped, that the
length' of his services would excuse his want of
expression. He had little to vay en the present

occasion, but he should speak from the deepest
conviction. It had been often alked, What had
been gained through the principles of Mr. Pitt
There was a short answer which would suit such
a question. What -had been saved was all gained:
ro thee principles, and to measures founded ors
them, the country owed the preservation of ber
berties and her religion, and to them, not only
this country, but all the
,world, was ipdebted. for
the enjoyment of ilk hlessiogs of. peace 'Yes,
4nd Britain had alsq, taught the world, that al-
thotigil she loved peace,:yet when her dearest in-
terests were at stake, she would combat, although
the wot Id was arrayed in arms against her. Who
could expect, !flier the Intig and arduous conflict
in which this kiitgdom had been engaged, that
some slight suffering was not to he endured ? Ile
had, however, no donbr,• hut that this country
would soon reap its security the bkssings of peace,
in an .abundance equal to her desires. He had
feared that he should have been prevented from
attending the Club on the present -memorable oc•
c”jou„ hut-as he then enjoyed that great pleasure,
he hoped, it his years were prolonged, Char, at a
future time, he ,should again enjoy the same sal.

Mr. PEEL, felt quite overpowered by the nnex-

On the retirement of the higher order of visitors,
the Chair remained some s tine vacant, bat at
length Mf.ATctlesta was unanimously required to
fill it, and he obeyed the summons. After a brief
exposition of his own principles, be proposcal the
health of MCPF.F.L, pronouncing a high eulogiutn
on his talents and serviees,, and predicting the so
distinguished a charaettr would hereafter occupy
:an important situation in the State: Some con•
vivial songs interventd, but the Chairman ob-
serving Mr. SWIFT among the Company,, enters,
ed intn a warm testimony, on the merits and
character of that Gentleman, proposing that
his health should be drank, with thanks to
him tor the tributary verses which he had so ably
composed and so impressively recited. The toast
wis unanimously adoßted ; and Mr. SWIFT, pro.
festiing•his surprize that he was deemed worthy of
such a compliment from the Chair and the com-
pany, stated his sentiments respecting the claims ,
of the Roman Catholics, particulat ly those of-Ire-
land, declaring that, 'in his opinion, .founded
on long experience in that Country, all farther
concessions would -be pregnant with the ut-
most danger, and even- expressing his hope
that the Electiue. Franchise should be with-
drawn - from them, as he considered that
'concession as a measure which had only stimulat-
ed their ambition, avowing his full conviction;
that nothing would satisfy them but the total de-
struction of the-Protestant Chnrch. This address
was very well received, and Mr. ATcßasoN soon
after left the Chair, a few gentlemen still re-.
tualniug to conclude the festivity •of the day,'
without further allusion to any public questions.
