BRISTOL, AUGUST 24.

Yefterday being the day appointed for a public
dinner, in honour of that able and illultrious
Statefman, Mr. PITT, the fame was celebrated
here in a ayle of unufual fplendour and feftivity.
A very numerous and refpeaable meeting of his
friends dined together at the Merchants* Hall,
where the greateft conviviality prevailed.—Nu.
merous loyal toafts were given on the occafion,
and the molt flattering teftimonies of refra paid
to the memory of his paft fervices. We have to
regret that we cannot lay thefe wafts before our
Readers. We are enabled merely to nate that
they had no reference to the indemnity for de pajl,
or to the fieurity for the future, which he was to ob-
tain for us, and that no mention was made of the
Income Tax—of the bided effeas of the late war
—or of the thoufand other good things which he
has done for his country.—Thedemand for Tickets
was fo great that the Room was filled at an early
hour ; and fo eager was the contention for places
that it was found difficult to preferve the " mellow
ed rebitione of peace and amity," although the necelTary
'militia for preferring good order had been pre-
vioufly.adopted by the friends of this a‘ juft and
necefrary" meeting. Another Meeting not quite
to numerous, but equally refpedable, was held on
the fame occafion by Tome of his quondam friends,
to commemorate his fervices before his apiary, and
in confequence of a dereliaion of his former prin-
ciples, to celebrate his difmilfal from office. Peace
and Reform feemed here to be preferred to War
and Corruption. The day was fpent in joyous
conviviality, and amongfl the many loyal and ap-
propriate toafts given we felea the following:—
The Kino—May be loos live to reign over a free and
united People.

Mr. Pitt--May he die In peace.
May Wars ceafe and Commerce awl&
Mr. Addington.

Mr. Fox.

The Mayor of BriftoL
Coe&Bon to thole, whether Jacobins or Jacobites, who
dare &date to the Crown In the choke of Its Minifters.

A fpeedy union of Jews and Deludes to lappet our Ns-
decal Foods.

The lndependmt Eledurs of the City of BriftoL
May thole Waters who cannot be forgiven here meet with
forgivenefs hereafter; and may the fouls of amghtered millions
feat to an untimely grave never rife up in Judgment againft
them.

It being generally underilood by the Citizens,
that the day was celebrated in honour of Peace,
and of the E:-Minitters difmiffal from office, never
did we witnefs fuch a fcene of tumultuous joy as pre-
vailed on the occafion. Throughout the day flags
were diCplayed on all the public buildings, vollies
of cannon were repeatedly fired, and the bells in-
celTantly rang. The blue party, who Rill mutter
pretty ftrong, (nomithftanding their difcomfiture
at the late elution,) were much difappointed at the
idea which prevailed, that the day was celebrated
in honour of Mr. PITT'S difmitfal from, office, as
they had met avowedly for the purpofe of com-
memorating his pal fervices ; but John Bull was
not to be convinced that war is ufeful, or taxes
ddirable. AN IMPARTIAL CITIZEN.
