This proceeding occasioned evident surprizt on
the part of Mr. GalloWay and his party, who con-
ceived it no less than an usurpation of the very
post they themselves had occupied the former
evening. did decided notice, however, w'As taken
of the circumstance, and there .was fur some time
a stand still.
. Mr. EvANs, jun. at length rose, and .having
complained bitterly of. the report wlti:ch had been
given in a Morning Paper of the proceedings of
the former evening, he moved that the SeCtetary
of the White.Lioo Committee should read from
his minute _hook• an account of the arrangements
made for carrying into effect the projected mea7
sure of welcoming Mr. Hunt into London with 'a
public entry • and dinner
Dr. WATSON warmly objected to this. He and
Isis friends had come there by invitation---(No, no,
from the other party)—and; their only object .was
to coalesce, not in consideting whether Mr. Hunt
should or should not be received with honov,rs, for
it was already decided that he should, but to unite
in the means to be adopted for so desirable a pur-
pose.
Mr: GALLOWAY, the Chairman of the Ex-Com-.
mittee, denied that any thing like a coalition, or
even a desire-to procure it, with the comoiittee
of the IVhite Lion, was intended or determined
upon. He was certainly the Chairman. of the
Meeting which-had resolved that Mr. Hunt, was
entitled-to a'' Public Welconie ;" but he conceived
this. to apply to a dimr only, and not to the
raree • show of a public procession. He disapproved
altogether of that measure, as calculated to pro-
duce mischievous results ; for however peace,
able and orderly might:be the designs of those
who called themselves the friends of Mr. Hoot,
it was 'well known that the enemies of Re,
form were capable of committing the most atro-
cious acts for the porpose of throwitig
the disgrace upon the Reformers. He was there-
fore fearful of the. consequences of a public pro-
cession, which, at all events, ought to be guarded
against, for it would give their ettemies, lie feared,
an opportunity of doing injury to the cause of
Reform. To the plan of a public dinner, he gave
his most hearty concurrence, for he not only felt
it himself, but knew it from various sources, that
a dinner would be approved of, and would be sanc-
tioned by all classes of the Reformers. He con-
jured the Committee, therefore, to pause ; and
if in their judgment they could recal their deter-
mination to usher Mr. Hunt into town, as they
proposed, with drums, kettles, fifes, flags, &c.
lie thought they would evince inure real since-
rity to the cause of Reform than all their gilded
and tawdry decorations would bestow, or their
noisy effervescence secure. He could scarcely
imagine that those who had determined upon the
procession were the real friends of Mr. Hunt. and
certainly that they could nor be in his confidence.
Finally, lie recommended Dr. Watson and his
friends to' be cautions how they armed their foes
with weapons furnished by imprudence or miscon-
duct.

The SECRETARY of the Committee (or, zoo) rO4e
and said, that probably he might save much trou-
ble if tLe stated, that the proceeding of a public
entry had been unaltetably fixed, on Monday last,
and that there was-no alternative but to pot it in
practice.
Messrs. GALLO* AY, "EVANS, and others, cen-
sured the conduc:t.ot the Committee tety warmly,
for the apparent want of candour they bad evinced,
by .;enalig one of their members among them
("Mr. Hirt; we believe) to invite them to co•ope-
rate with them in tbe design of a measure, whichs
they, themselves, had irrevocably fixed, must take
place,.but which the party so indict! disapproved.
Di „WATSON violently repelled this. Ile re-

Pfriends to Mr. Hunt, bad come there by invita-
