Duke of RICHMOND then rose, and said, that
when he named the toast /that be was now going to

Lord Livsftroot began by.saying, that we had now
the-test of experience of ehe policy pursued by Mr.
Pitt. Those objects which be had so much at heart
were now happiiy accomplished, its the safety of this
country and the deliverance of Europe. How muds
it would have been to be wished. that he had lived te•
have witnessed the happy results of his exertions and
talents I • Often based in his hopes by the faults of
others, still he constantly returned to that true line
of policy, which had, at last,, been the preservation o£
Europe. The object and the aim of the present. Mi-
nisters had been to follow the traces that he had laid.

which lliftllrme engaged that expenditure which was
absolutely necessary to bring it to a happy issue. 'the
tiountry had now seen the accomplishment of all those
Lgteat objects which were the ride of Mr. Pitt's life;
and the experience of the last 20 years had given s
great lesson to this and other nations, that in a just
•and necessary war it was not wise or politic to be tob.t
-Sparing of espence. He returned *his thanks to the
company for the manner in which they had received
the last coast. (His Lordship's speech was folloWed
by considerable applause.)
The next toast was, 44 May the principles of Mr.
rAt always animate the Councils of Great Britain."
This eras followed by Mr. Dignum, singing 4' the

inowledged ex*lencies, and even With its supposed
"defects,• would be sufficient to ensure-4bi ever the
ionwity of this country, arid to hold ottt briht ex.

that the line of true politicaleconomyx and the pro-
per mode of husbanding the resources of the country,
-did not consist in grudging the expellees, or starving
the military operations' of a-just and necessary War. 1„
knew that it was impossible for.hitn, by ant
words, to add any thing to the fame of that great
*man, Mr. Pitt, which would endure and flourish •
through all ages. By the commemorations Of the
