giving " rue itufnuital Memory of the late Wil-

was itrailk with thunders ot applause•
The Citaltilklaal ncit tObe lo propose the healthof
tais odinisters. This wa3 an hollow
tint to the rnitueut services which they had ren-
dered to their country. It tvaa but justice to them
to sav, that they had followed up the measures of
Mr. l'i,r with energy in the late war, and that
their eiforrs had finally succeeded in destroying
that iron despi'rttsio N hick had weighed down the
whole Colouient of Europe, and which went so
1115,01a.iy atttct the destiny of this nation.—
A,ter peace had been conquered, when treachery
at st, at ed Liaonaparte again on the throne of
}'mace 11l V. acting on the principles of Mr.
Pot, and seconded as 'hey were by the great ta-
leo(s (r: tire loyal and gallant General who had
Loisostre(i 'hens With his company that day (the
of 'Wellington), and by the firmness and
valour of the brave at toy under his command, had
gamed a triumph unparalleled in our annals, in-
asmuch as they had not in one year, but in
one nay, the whole military power ot France an-
oibilated, and so far as sawed the safety of
England, annihilated; he might say, for ever.—
Since that period, cares of "a vet different de.
scriptioo had occupied their time, but whatever
&defences might exist as to the details of some
of the measures of Government, hr firmly be-
lieved that their grand outline met with the full
approbation of that company, and the country at
large.
The !Plait!) of his Majesty's Ministers was then
drank with three times three.
The LOED CHANCaLLOK, in the absence of his
Noble Colleague from indisposition, begged to
return, on behalf of his Majesty's Ministers, and
for himself, their, sincere thanks for the honour
which'they bad received. %Vilest be addressed an
assembly of such persons as be ' then had the
how,or to meet, it was impossible for him not
to feel the writ west gratitude for that distinction
which they had been pleased to bestow ; but when
lie remembered that it came from the friends of
Air. Pitt, to those who had followed his steps in
their public measures, lie could not find terms
adequate to express the pride and gratitude which
it inspired. It was now many—many years since
he first became connected with that great and il-
lost twos man. When he looked back to the years
1792 and 1793—t0 the time-'when the great body
ot merchants and traders .stood forward in that
hull, determined to save their country front dan-
gers which at that rime menaced it—of a nature
sutpassing all that had ever been encountered be-
fore, it was impossible for him to find himself in
VW plate mit honrieding satisfaction at the course
then pursued; 'eXulling at the measures which had
in conseqnenca. been adopted by that illustrious
Statesman, 'whose they were assembled to
c-orntip=morate, and sincere pleasure derived from
the sanguine, hope, that his glorious example
would continue to influence the Councils of this
Milian toy ever.—(Applause.)—ile had been
placed in a' situation which enabled him to assist
in some 'ot the great measures of Mr. Pill, and
from LA' ithate knowledge• of that illustrious
Stattsuran, he could take upon himself- to say,
that these never did, and there never could live, a
Mint mote sincerely anxious to iimerve the libcr-

ties of his fellow-subject;, or more zealous to'
preserve the honour and digni'y of the country.---
(Applause.)---They now heard that the Agricul-
tural interest was depressed, that the Commercial
interest was tar from being in a flourishing state,
and that the Manufacturing classes were in dis-
treSs. Mr. Pitt had foreseers, that, if the energies
of great were to be excited in the late
struggle, such, tor a time„, must inevitably be the
consequences of the effort. But, good God !
would not Englishmen rather encounter these dif-
ficulties to see the vessel of the State, with her
flag flying in triumph, and her tackle in, perfect
putter, instead of beholding it bumbled and sub-
dued, and itasigated under the sotionand of. a
French Usurper ? The patience, wisdom, energy,
and he might say valout ot that great man whose
birth they were met to celebrate, followed up by
the humble efforts of those who came after him.
had preserved the honour and glory ot the throne
and the country, and with them the happiness and
liberties of the people.—(Applause.)—To Mr. Pitt,
and the principles of which he had been the advo-
cate, he wa.s confident that the people of England
owed the salvation of that liberty ',stitch belonged
to them as Britons—that liberty which he hoped
would never be invaded—which he was confideut
they would never stiffer to be invaded:---that practi-
cal liberty which, without degenerating into licen-
tiousness, made every man proud of being a Bri-
ton—made every Englishman's house his castle,
and protected every nutividnal in it. That the
blessings now eijoyed might for ever continue to
be enjoyed, was his fervent prayer ; and th At they
`might be extended to all the world was his e,rtiest
wish,—(Applause.)—Such were the objects which
he had at heart, while endeavouring, to serve his
country by acting on the principes of Mr. Pitt.
He had not been there that day with his present
Colleagues, had he not known it to be their him
determination to adhere to those principle's ; 1101.
would he remain among them if that deleirniva-
tioi) could be shaken. He concluded by repeat-
ing the expression ot his thanks for the honour
which had been bestowed on his Majesty's

Dist ers.
" May the principles of Mr. PO always,
tn -
mate the Councils of Great Britain," and " The
health of the Duke of Welltngton," were seve-
rally drank with three tines three.
The Duke of IVELLINGTON returned thaults,
and assured the meettne., that as he had hereto-
fore served the country with zeal, so I;e should
ever be ready to do tire same—most happy it his
efforts met with the approbation of the friends of
Mr. Pitt.

" The health of the President of the Pitt Club"
was the next toast.

The Earl of HAttewoon returned thanks, and
proposed the health of the Chairman, and the me-
inoiy of Ilse late President of the Pitt Club.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and then call-
ed on Mr. Swift to recite an ode on the present
King, written for the occasion.
Mr SWIFT recited his ode, and was warmly ap-
plauded.
'the CHAIRMAN now rose to propose a toast, to
which he thought rio one could object in its true
and legitimate meaning, but on the contrary he
was of opinion that all must drink it with plea-
sure—he meant " The Protestant Ascendancy."—
Drinking this, they meant to express their ardent
hope that that Establishment ►shich had made
England one of the most moral as well as one of
the happiest nations of the world, would continue
to nourish in Great Britain. Expressing this sen-
timent, they gave no opinion on the means by
which the Protestant Ascendancy should be pre-
served ; anti taken in the sense in which he had
ptopused it, be thought it could give offence to nu
man.

The toast was drank with loud applause.
The Glee of " Mr. Speaker, though it's late,"
was then sung.
" The memory of the late Duke of Richmond"
was drank in solemn silvnee.
" The Master and Wardens of the Merchant
Taylors' Company" was the or Xt toast.
The Lose CHANCFLLOR then gave,
rity to the Pitt Club."
This.was drank with three times three. His
Majtsty's Ministers then took leave of the Meet-
ing, and retired amidst the plaudits of the as-
sembly. The other standing toasts of the Club were
next drank. ,The President of the day left the
Hall at about half-past 10, but the conviviality of.
the patty was prolonged for another hour, %%ben
the company pried. During the evening, the
healths of the Bishop of Peterborough, Mr. Peel,
Mr. Sheriff Rothwell, and several other distin-
guished pet suns, were drank.
