Ma. CANNING.

tannic llrt.p.sty, awl the principal Euzzil,h
chants eNtal,iislied at liourileanx, ii,,einhled to
eelebi ate, by a dinner, which took place at liar-
dineana tlie isth of this' month, the presence in
ottr town ot Mr. Canning, Arsibassattor' from the
Coact of London to that ot Lisbon, and ho,
it
is skiid, is about to enter into the British Cabinet.
Thai whioh particularly deserves attention is
the speech proniainced by Mr. Canning, when NI.
Penueli, the British Consul, and President of the
Assembly, pioposed thin health of the honourable
Guest.

44 Gentlemen,—However lively may be the diisire which I
reprehmee of expressing, in adequate terms, the sentiments
excited in nee by the signal and unexpected honour which you
hare cunt irred obi rue, as welt by the stile, dour of your hoe.
vitality al the manner in which you hare received the into.
rani of my name, this desire is, in my mind, opposed. and in
some degree restrained, by the respect I owe to those of your
noble and eminent guests, to whom the language I use must
neeess.srily he foreign. This consideration compels me at
least to limit the expression of my gratitude, which, however,
my respect for you will not sutler to be
" I have not the presumption, Gentlemen, to irrnuate to
Thyself the merit which yeur worthy President (the British
Consul) has wished to assign to ;ne—that of having contri-
buted to this s result of a 25 years' contest (a happy
result, in which every feeling and every heart .exults at this
raiment), unless by haying constantly supported those prin-
ciples by the operation of which aluue such a result could
have been °intoned.
ie I have riot hatl the happiness of being actively employed
in the commits oV ray. country at the time when the war was
terminated; bat I acknowledge myself flattered by your re-,
nienthralice of the feeble part which I bore in those counsels
that led to that conclusion---a conclusion' which France and
England must equally applaud;
a We have liven for it long time at war with France; hut
was it with France, such as she is at present, or such as we
slope she will continue ? No. It WAS ttith that France which
no wore resembled the France of the present day than does
a body possessed by an unclean spirit resemble the same, hotly
when the spirit is removed. We made war upon France as
much few her interest as fur our's. We made war upon
France, but we had a tacit alliance in the hearts and its the
sentiments of all good Frenchmen—CO alliance which has
contributed toot less powerfully thaikonr external alliances
the success of the war, and which has not ouly facilitated but
erinctioned its result.
• -3. A vain appreherierion or 4n nrijdumbni calumny, could
shine give rise to the belief that the partition or degradation
of ;lonian:Lint France could ever be the object of the British
Government. Clod forbid that the French Nation, so netts-
rally and is, necessar,ly preponderating in }stops, should
have heel effaced from the catalogue of the great Powers
We had felt apprehensions from her, when bursting froM her

inflict, threatening an universal destruction • but. restored to
the orbit assigned to her by nature, and shedding a natural
and beneficent light, we hail her its a majestic and indis.,
pensable star its the great European Systrin.
" Our opposition to France had nut national enmity as its
frinCiple.—it was no longer, as -bad been falsely imputed
to as, a war against political opinions; it was a war of de-
fence. Situated in the midst of Europe, France. could 'nut
be a.prey to interior agitation, and convulsions, without tom-
mutiwating to tither nations the raise calamities. Situated
in the midst of Europe, her infinencewill be equally sensible
in the tranquillity she will spread around her. At peace
with herself, she .dispenses peace to the world.

LONDON,
ruEisair, IYIAY 21, 1816.

The Paris Papers of the 18th, received this
morning. are so entirely filled with indifferent
topics, that we may suppose the recent agitations
have greatly subsided. The following are the
only extracts they afford :-
44 PAMS, MaY 18..--When his Majesty was at
St. Maude yesterday, a lady presented to him a
small picture and a petition. The King gave her
a sum iu gold. His Majesty gave orders to the
guards to allow every person to approach him,
and Shouts of " Vire le Rol" were heard on all
sidm

" Lamm from Marseilles announce that pre-
parations are making for, the quarantine to be per-
formed by the Duelist's of Berri. The Duke of
Havre had arrived there, and many persons be-
longing to the Ilotothold of the Princess.

"- M. Pilo's/ a Priest of the Commune of Bar-
jon, known by the eeal which he displayed during
the last usurpation, was arrested on the 11th, and

" His Majesty has given the Order du Saint
Esprit to the young Prince, Sun of, theftrMer

German. Papers arrived this morning; but their
contents are nut of the slightest importance.

We this day insert the athuirable speech of Mr.
CANNING at Bourdeaux. Even through the medium
of double translation it impresses us powerfully
with the elegance of his style, the discretion of
his opinions, and the conciliatory tendency of art
the sentiments upon which he dwelt.

it will be seen from our Varliamentary Report
thatithe Opposition made another strenuous effort
last night in favour of their Alien Friends. They
think the ingress of French Jacobins shoal(' be
encouraged—aunt Alinisters think these persons
ought to be subjected tit a %trict watch. This is
the whole secret of the debate ; the Faction ap-
pt oee their principles, and would welcome them as
nrot hers; Co ernmei if abhors their principles, and
would at least guard against their machinations as
suspicions characters', if not as dangerous enemies.
Several division:, marked the feeling of the
1-ion4e, but the Plriy, by persrvertnice, succeed-

The French: GovernmeTtri, it seems, have follow..
ed the example of this country in the appointment
of an Under-Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment. It is somewhat of a curious coinci-
dence, that the person appointed to this situation
is named .11scque.v, which, according to French
pronounciatiou, is the same in France as that of
the Gentleman who occupies a similar situation in
this country. We mean so well to the King of
FttANce as to hope that the duties of the new
office there may be as ably discharged as they are
in this country.
