WHIG Cann.—Lord HOLLAND presided yester-
day at the Meeting, which took place at Free-
masons" Tavern. When the usual toasts of the day
had been given, the Chairman paid a liberal tribute
to the memory of Mr. Fox, and, having informed
the company that Mr. WHITBREAD was Oa be
Chairman at the next meeting, proposed the health
of that Member, and " thanks to him for his consti-
tutional vigilance in Parliament." Mr. Smith gave
Lord HOLLAND as his toast, with an eulogium on
his Lordship's charaCter. The Noble Lord express-
ed his thanks, and promised to tread in the steps of
his late illustrious Relation. He concluded with
giving " Mr. BYNG, and the Independent Free-
holders of Middlesex." Mr. BYNO, of course, ex-
pressed his acknowledgments, and. then entered into
some remarks on the state of public affairs, declar-
ing, that it was not by a change of men, but a
change of system, that this country must be saved.—
" Mr. SMITH, and the cause of religious liberty.'.'
followed, and drew up that 'Gentleman, who avow-
ed his satisfaction that hiS name had been so in-
troduced. After •c the Marquis of TAVISTOCK, and
the Independent Freeholders of the County of Cam-
bridge," had been drank, the Chairman proposed
the health of " Mr. PERRY, and may the periodical
Press ever be in the hands of men who have vigour
to defend it when attacked, and principle to conduct
it with moderation when in security." Mr. PERRY
thanked the company in handsome terms for the
honour they had done him in receiving the toast in
so favourable a manner, expressing his hopes that
the public press would always be employed in
supporting the just rghts of Englishmen. Other
toasts suitable to the principles of the Institution
were given, and after Lord HOLLAND left the Chair,
'it was taken by Mr. SMITH. The rest of the even-
ing was passed in festivity, without any reference to
politics or party.
The restoration of Admiral HARVEY must give
satisfaction to the Navy, as he is a charaCter of the
true British breed, who, if he uttered too hasty a
word, did so from the impulse of that spirit which
is an essential feature in the composition of our gal-
lant tars, and to which we in a great measure owe
our national glory.
Wednesday last a Conrt Martial was held for the
trial of the carpenter of the Rattlesnake sloop of

being proved, he was sentenced to be dismissed the

incapable of ever fining any situation of trust in his
Majesty's Navy.,
A letter from Cadiz, dated the 13th ot March,
says—" We have here in garrison, besides the Spa-
nish army, two fine Portuguese regiments ; a large
detachment of Bilitish artillery ; the 79th, or Came-
*ronian Highlanders ; the 87th, 2d; battalion ; the
88th, or Connaught Rangers, fad battalion ; the
94th, or Scots Brigade, Ist battalion; the 95th, and
detachMent. The Ist Royal Veteran Battalion, the
28th and 4th regiments, were here, but haVe been
sent to Gibraltar to relieve the 88th, and other regi-
ments sent to this place from that Garrison. 'We
have in the chief command General -Grtaisam, an
Officer who is well known in the army, and in
whose abilities the whole army here have the
greatest reliance. He has under him General
STEWART ; and General SONTiIG, with a number
of Officers, are expetied from England. The 79th
have the honour of the advance, in conjunction
with a fine Portuguese regiment. The 87th, 88th,
,and 94th regiments are, quartered in the town, in
very excellent bomb-proof barracks. The advance
batteries of the French aid ours are constantly
fitang at each other. For th lait four days we have
been burning ships that were wre_ked in the late
storm. Two companies or the 4fh Foot, taken by
the enemy in one ot there wre, ks, are sent prisoners
to Madrid. This is the handsomest town and the
cleanest streets I err saw ; but the houses are
wretchedly dirty within. Every thing is exorbi-.
tautly high. A dollar is of the same value here at
present as a sixpence is in England. The most
trifling thing is not to be had under a dollar. Of.
beef and mutton there are now none to be purchased
at any price in the market. Fowls are a dollar a

England for ships with eatables. We.are getting
