env Word in the English Language correctly.
. By J. B. PIKE, D.D.
The peculiar excellence of l'ike's Spelling, besides the ad-
vantage of its coetaining every primitive English word, is. that
the words are divided, not according to the Usual arbitrary
method, but according to their sound.
" Is it not improper to divide Mgje sty and Majestic in the same
manner, considering how very differently the first syllable is
soundtd ?"—,-Extract from Preface.

'Thursday last the Anniversary ot the Norwich Pox
Dinner was celebrated.at the Assembly-rooms. Nor-
wich ; the Right Hon. the Earl of ALBEMARLE in the
Chair. There were present, besides his Lordship,
the Duke of Sussex, the Duke of NortvoLE. Lord
BURY, M.P. T. W. COKE, Esq. M.P. Mr. W. Sum)
M.P. Mr. Hogvwooro, M.P. Sir HENRY BUNBURY
Bart. Sir R. P. JODDREL, Bart, inr. M'DONALTI, M.P.
Mr. LENNARD, M.P. Sir T. B. 13Envon. Hon. W.
FITZROY, Hon. E. KEPI'EL, Sir W. DALLINO,
Upwards of 250 Gentlemen sat down to dinner.
The Non Nolds was sung immediately upon the
cloth being temoved.
The Earl of Atnem ARLIE then rose. He was now
about to open the particular objects of this Assembly,
but he was a little ernbar: assed how to make .a be-
ginning. Refer, ing to the accounts of Convivial •
Nleetila;s in the Public Papers, he observed • that a
certain course was always pursued by Chairmen—
that they never failed to resort to a set of cut and dried
phrases, such as their inadequacy to fill the Chair,
and then wish that some one more able would under-
take it ; but this course he would not follow. Once
invested with the solemn office, he would riot say
(wirh a very few exceptions) that he wished to have
any one else in his place; at the same time that he
should discharge himself from the charge of pre-
sumptiorr, he begged leave to say 'that he did not
entirely despair of executing its functions, if not
with ability, at least a ith zeal—( Loud cheers).—
This was now the fourth time that they had called
him to this high situation, hut on no former occasion
did he feel the eff.:ct of their partiality near so flat-
tering as on the present. The presence of a Prince
of the Royal Family, the number and respectability
of this Assembly, and the purposes for which they
were met, considerably enhanced the honour con.
tercel upon him, at the same time that it mole en.
.eared to him the great cause which they were all
met to celebrate—(Cheers). Ile could not help saying,
now-ever, that he felt the disadvantage. as well as
the at!vantage, a the situation in which he was now
placed ; for whilst, on the one hand, he was assured,
from experience, of the extent of their indulgence, on
the other he felt all the difficulty of giving to a sub-
ject, now discussed for the lout th time, anything like
a feature of novelty. Ile remembered, a long time
ago, a Right Reverend Prelate, who gave to the
world a volume of Poems, of which, as it will some-
times happen, the worl.i was so ungrateful as not to
see their merit. The author, however, would not
be to,just to himself, and, therefOre, though not an
impression of the first edition was sold, he brought
out another, but under a very different title
namely, " Imitations of Mrelf"—(Loud laughter).
He (Lord Albemarle) was afraid what he had to say
to-night would be but a bad imitation of himself ;
but, however, he could not get out of the predicament
in which he was placed, for what would they have
him do? He had before, as the organ of their feel-
ings, expres-ed his satisfaction at the presence of an
411ustrious Duke. He had told that Illustrious Person
rthat hi; provokingly steady adherence to tliose prin-
ciples which seated his farnilv on the Tormie placed
him high in the esteem of all ...,00d men : was he to
travel over that ground again? He had before told
the Eat' Marshal, who sat by his side, that due respect
which his pi ivate virtues won was more valuable than
all the honours which descended to him through a
long line of ancestors : was he to repeat the same
again? He had before told ih..•ir worthy Represen-
tative, Mr. Coke, that in him :he people found a me-
del for an upright Legis at )r—a virtuous citizen, and
a worthy man. Was he .o,,ain to hart the delicacy of
that iadividual by saying the,,:: things to him ? No,
he was not ; and yet, when he saw the ta!ent and le-
spectability of this great County once more brought
to assist in perpetuating certain principles, he was
almost tempted again to testify his satisfaction. On
no former occasion did he see so numerous and re-
spectable a Meeting as the present—( Cheers).—
But he was sort y to say that, in some respects, this
Meeting was more cheerless than before, as, though
they were high in spirits, they were lower in pocket
—( Loud cheers).—He himseil felt a difference, and
he was sure there was nobody in the room who did
not experience it snore or less. Without pretending
to divine their feelings, he would express his own
upon this state of thiits, and those were feelings of
indignation against the authors of a system which
produced such dire consequences—(Cheers).—He
would now say above-board, that terms were no longer
to be kept with these men ; and it was his avowed
opinion that all the calamities under who.ll we were
now labouri.ig, were mainly due and attributable
to the ", pilot who weathered the storm"—(Loud
cheers).—He had said "weathered the storm," but,
at the suggestion of a Noble Friend near him, he
would say " who gathered the storm"—(Cheersj—
and• that, he believed, was the most proper reading.
It was to the accursed wars brought upon us by " the
pilot" that we owed all our misfortunes. But though
we were grinding under the oppression of taxes
produced by these wars, why should we grumble
when they had produced such glorious and glis.
tering consequences—when the !emits had been
to confirm the liberties of Europe—(Load rhecrs)
—to define the rights of mankind—to establish the
old Constitution of England upon its firm rock
to secure our prosperity at home, and confirm our
respectability abroad—(Loud cheers). But had these
results followed? Let the distressed state of the country
make the reply. True it was, the Holy Alliance was
established—(Cheers)— that Louis XYIII. was restored
to France, and Ferdinand to Spain, and certainly, in
the eyes of the admirers of " the pilot,'. notwith.

• It would he an idie thktte ;onttast the character, of
the two men ; it was enough stn say, that from the
plans laid down.by one.* them, a system had ema-
nated ebteh hacilbot lain an incubus upon the pro-
sperity (f this country; and when it would cease to
be so no one could say, for the plans of the pilot
who gathered the storm were acted upon by his suc-
cessors. It had, however, been said, that Mr. Pitt
was not fairly responsible for the ill effects of his
system, since those who followed in his path were
wanting in those talents which enabled him with
more apparent success to guide the helm of the State.
If by talents were meant ability, the excuse was cer-
tainly good, for it was too sad a truth that for many
Tears ability did not enterinto the requisites of a Mi-
nister. But it was no less true that they did not want
the talent for doing mischief—(Cheers)—as the six
Acts and some other samples could testify. These
46 pilot," piloted us with a vengeance, for they left not
a plank to cling to—(Cheers). They " gathered" the
storm, but left us to " weather" it--(Loud applause).
And weather it we would, notwithstanding the pain-,
taken by our friends to disable us. There was still in
this country a certain something, that would in the
end render unavailable the errors of its rulers. The
very Meeting that lie was then addressing gave him
confidence ; and if the spirit which pervaded it more
generally prevailed, there would he still hone for the
best friends of the country—(Loud cheers).—But he
regretted to say, that many of the Members for the
neighbouring Counties were already too much indis-
posed to promote such Meetings. From such men it
was cheering to two to an illustrious Individual,
standing amongst the highest in the coantry—a Pi ince
equally amiable for his private worth, as repectalye
for bis public virtues, whose boast it was to he ever
ready in coming forward in the cause of the Movie—
(Cheers).—Upon the public character of his Royal
Highness the Duke of Susses he should forbear say-
ing anything—his act. were before the Public ; but to
the many virtues which marked his rri. ate life—his
benevolence, and deep knowledge of human nature,
he (Lord Albemarle) could not refrain from giving
his testimony—(Cheers)--and these were qualities
more estimable, as they were most rare—for rare they
were, and unknown to the rulers of this country for
years past, else we shoul,l not have had that disgrace-
ful affair of Mariches:er at this Jay as a blot upon our
annals—we should not have heard of those accursed
six Acts—that system of spies, by which one man
was hile.l to entrap his brother—of that odious pro-
ceeding against the Queen, or of the military mur-
der, that last outrage to her remains !—(Load cheers)
Ministers would know that Englishmen might be
led, but could never be driven. His Royal High-
ness's character could teach them that kindireisseand
attention to the wants of the Peor:e were safer wea-
pons than swords and bayonets. lie would tell them
" That it was more easy
By winning means, to pin unwilling minds,
And let persuatien take the place of force!"
Ministers should tread in the footsteps of Mr. Fox, if
their view! were 'o benefit the count: y. It was to be
lamented that t:.ey did not, for hi. memory would
ever live in the breasts of Englishmen; or, in the
words of Mr. Taylor,
" We come to iris tomb, but not to weep,
For it is Freedom's holiday we keep;
The sacred altar let it be
Round whicb we bow to Liberty!" (Applause.)
—The Noble C.fUr .or concluded ht
" The memory of Charles James Fos."—Drack in silence.
u The King and Constitution."—Song by Air. E. Talmo*.
The Bail of ALSEMARLIC again rioe, and said he
should that instant comp': with the bent of his feel-
ings, and indulge their impatience, by proposing at
once the health of the Royal Duke a ho had honoured
them with his presence— i('heers).—He cool
great satisfaction dwell upon the many virtues. r,iiblic
and private, of that Illustrious Ps ince ; but his Royal
Hithness's public life was already w fir ten in the many
disinterested and spirited acts which he had done.—
His private lite, however, was not so gene: ally known, '
and he (Lord Albemarle), therefore, telt particular
pleasure in stating, from his own knowledge, that the
private character of Royal Duke was most strongly
marked by the greatest kindness of heart and bene-
volence of disposition—(Cheers).---He stated this
before ~his Royal Highness's face, not as flattering,
but as a just tribute due to his worth. The Noble
Lord then gave :
" The health of his Royal llighness the Duke of Sussex."—
Three times three—<Lned applause).
His Royal Highness the Duke of SUSSEX rose, and
was for some time interrupted by the loud cheering
of the company. He said that he should follow the
example of the Noble Chairman, and express his feel-
ings without wasting time in affecting idle compli-
ments. Two years had elapsed since he had the
pleasure of meeting them before, at the celebration
of this anniversary. Then, as now, his hand and
heart had gone witlithem ; and their late proceedings
had convinced hisn—of what, indeed, he could have
had no doubt before—that the best sentiments per-
vaded the yeomanry of that respectable County.—
Their conduct had created in his mind a variety of
reflections, and kindled in his heart the warmest sa-
tisfaction. It had shewn to him the honest and innate
desire which they felt, as Englishmen, to do what
was right—to protect themselves, and to uphold their
Constitution. He had sometimes heard, and in Courts
of Justice, that truth was a libel. He had not, how-
ever, heard that truth was yet high treason ; on the
contrary, he believed truth often to be the best pre-
ventive against treason—(Hear, hear).—His Royal
Highness then took a comprehensive view of the poli-
tical life of Mr. Fox, and of the times in which he
lived ; condemning the wars arising out of the French
Revolution, as undertaken solely for aggrandisement,
and not for the liberties of the People. His Boyar
Highness noticed the dismemberment of Poland,while
England stood by, and saw the spoliation effected,
ithout a tear for the lost liberties of a brave people.—
To pass over later events, and come down to those
which concluded more recent hostilities; where were
the indications that Ministers felt any solicitude for
the rights of the People ? The Allies entered Paris,
and of their own act replaced the Bourbon family
upon the throne of France, without any conditions in
behalf of the people over whom they were to rule ;
there was no compact for the rights or liberties of
those for whose good it was said so many sacrifices
heti been made. The fact was, that the war was
carried on by the fiat of Sovereigns for their own pur-
poses ; and it was a warfare of bayonets, to put down
the liberties of the people—{Hcart heir). But the

blood which had been spilt would not be shed w vain;
a spirit would arise among th nations of the world,
which would deter their oppresson, and the voice of
the people would not be raised in vain—(liter, hear).
What an appearance of identity with the French na-
tion was presented by the Constitution conjured for
that people, when a single individual, by a sudden
irruption, put it down without firing a shot, and
made legitimacy march out, more rapidly even, than
it had marched in among the people—(Cheers).—
In former times, when England interfered in. Cont-
inental politics, it was to save the people of one State
from the oppression of another—such was the inter
ference of Queen Elizabeth ; but now there was a
community of effort to crush, not to save, the op-
pressed. The system of spies and informers of late
years so organized, were not the growth of an Eng-
lish soil. No ; they were the emanation of the Holy
Alliance. Of a piece with these domestic proceed-
ings was one circumstance connected with that beau-
tiful Bridge street concern—(Loud laughter)—which
he was surprised had hitherto escaped public notice.
It was worth notice, that the Secretary of that So-
ciety was the Treasurer of the Society for the Relief
of Foreigners in Distress—a situation which necessa-
rily gave him access, as often as he pleased, to the
whole Foreign Diplomatic Corps resident in this coun-
try, and afforded the most convenient opportunities for
any practices in which he might be engaged—(Hear).
Next to the system of espionage, came the system of
terrorism. Tiiis most infamous and wicked system
was carried on under the unworthy artifice of as-
suming a name associated a ith everything that was
the reverse of such baseness. John Bull was incapa-
nit of tolerating the atrocities which wretches were
fonad to commit under the cloak of his honest name.
The process of terrifying and frightening a man from
his duty was easy, according to this project : for were
he a father, it was only to send him an anonymous
threat, that if he attempted to do such an act, he
should read en the following Sunday such or such a
story of his wife, his son, or his daughter—(Hear,
hear). There was a mine for explosion, which at
once went to overthrow the whole organization of
society—(Hear, hear). This was the system which
they now saw reared in England, and associated
with the principles of men in power. And why was
all this carried on ?—to prevent honest men from
speaking their minds upon public questions. It was
for that, this John Bull was erected against the honest
' frankness of his name—(Hear). On the subject of
the grievances which now weighed down the coun-
try, he fully concurred in the opinion, that their im-
mediate cause was excessive taxation. The Govern-
ment had long tried to divide and distract the public
attention, to set off the agriculturist against the ma-
nufacturer, and, vice versa—to concede this point, and
form that Committee, ;mtil they had at length made
such a juggle of all their interests in society, that
none could extricate themselves from the mass of
confusion which alike perplexed all. This was exactly
what the Ministers aimed at, and from it the country
had no chance of disengaging itself, but by a long
pull, a strong pull, and a pull :altogether (Hear, hear).
As to the remedy, the first step was naturally to re-
move the cause of that taxation which was the imme-
diate evil. K'hy uphold a gre at standing Army, and
an immense unnecessary expenditure in every quarter
of the State ? The Holy Alliance might want it ;
but of what use was such a course to the People of
England ?—(Hear, hear). Why not, according to the
old proverb, cut their coat according to their cloth ?
Why not square their expenditure to their means?—
It were in vain to hope for relief except by a reduc-
tion of the establishments—all other plans would fall
miserably short. His Royal Highness concluded by
expressing his cordial concurrence in the opinions of
the yeomanry of the county of Norfolk, and his thanks
to that Me.•ting for the kindness which they had
shewn him—(Loud applause).
The CHAIRMAN then proposed:
" The respectability of the Crown. the durability of the Con-
stitution, and the prosperity of the People;' and it wan followed
by—" The cause fur which Hainpden bled in the field, and Sid-
ney on the scaffold."—Drank with three times three.
The High Sheriff's health, which was drank with applause,
was followed by—" The cause of Civil and Religious Liberty
all over the World." _ _

The next tout was—" The health of the Bishop of Norwich."
—Drank with enthusiasm. _ _

Archdeacon BATHURST returned thanks.

" The health of the Duke of Norfolk, and may the ancient
hereditary Nobility of this country ever consider it their highest
honour to support the rights of the People."
The Duke of NORFOLK, in rising to return thanks,
assured the Meeting that he felt most grateful for
the manner in which they had drank his health : and
the more so, when be felt that compliment associated,
as it was here, with the growing diffusion of the
great principles of Mr. Fox—(Applause)—the only
principles to the adoption of which the country could
now look, if not for indemnity for the past, at least
for security for the future—(Applause).—By them
alone could the country be yet saved—(Hear, hear).

Toast—" A speedy Repeal of all Laws which tend in any de-
gree to abridge the sacred rights of Conscience; and our thanks
to those of the Clergy who signed from this diocese the first Pe-
tition to Parliament, in favour of religious toleration."
The Rev. Mr. Cowan, a Clergyman of the dio-
cese, returned thanks on behalf of himself and his
friends who had signed the Petition.
The Duke of Sussex proposed " The health of the
Chairman," which was drank with great applause.
The CHAIRMAN returned thanks.

Song —" The standard of liberty boats through the world."
Li the chorus of " Down tyrants, fall," the voice of the Duke of
Sussex was particularly audible.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the next toast pressed
upon him more than any other which he had yet
given, owing to its connexion with the county in
which they had assembled. It had, however, this
advantage, that it required no preface; for to name
the individual, was enough to secure fur him the en-
thusiastic approbation of every man in the county.
No man surpassed him in good qualities, nor in his
zeal to promote the happiness of his friends and well-
being of hi, country, in the extensive sphere in which
P;tovinENcs had placed him. In proposing the toast,
need he add that the individual was

w Their worthy and long-tried Representative, Mr. Coke."
Mr. Coat, in returning thanks, expressed the de-
light and gratification which he enjoyed on the pre-
sent occasion, when they bad assembled to comme-
morate the anniversary of a man with whom for
more than thirty years he had been united in the
closest bonds of intimacy and friendship. He was
proud that on an occasion se dear to his feelings they
were honoured by the presence of so illustrious a
guest as the Royal Duke who sat near him. Mr.
Pox was an Ensl4;ag of fink dealing and plain

:peaking with his countrymen; he was a matt of !IF
most urrhounded benevolence, the firm friend of civil
and religinits liberty all-over the world, and the de-
termined opponent of tyranny and corruption.--,
Mr. Fox had used his greatest energies to avert from
this country the calamitous war with France againsti
the efforts of the people to assert their liberties; but
his counsels, unfortunately for mankind, had not pre-
vailed. Let, then, the haters of the liberties of man-
kind rejoice at the success of their schemes—let them
take the glory of which they talked so much, and
with it the taxation, which was the price of that glory
—(Hear, hear). He had still hopes that the energies
of the people would compel even the present MIMS..
ters to be less prodigal. Unless some speedy step
were taken, it would be difficult to preserve the coun-
try from ruin and destruction. He hoped, however,
that something might yet be done, and that the ex-
ample of one revolution would not be productive of
another—(Hear, hear). The author of all these ac-
cumulated and still accumulating miseries, was the
pilot who, as it had been well said, gathered the storm
which now required such an united effort to allay.—
For himself, he could assure the present Meeting, that
he was proud in being the Representative of such a
county as Norfolk. He had uniformly lived amongst
them, and had, perhaps, more than any other man
of his time applied himself to the improvement of
the condition of the agricultural classes—(Hear).—
The Hon. Member then glanced at the proceedings
of their late County Meeting, and was glad that they
had the credit of being the first to come forward and
speak out upon the real situation of the country. lie
knew that there had been other Meetings got up and
put down in holes and corners. A Noble Lord had
said at one of them (we believe the Sussex Meeting),
that taxation was a great blessing—(ll laugh).—in
Suffolk another Noble Lord recommended the farmers
to go home, for that they could do no good by calling
County Meetings. A Meeting was intended in Kent,
but it was suppressed : every step was taken to pre-
vent the expression of the public sentiment. He
would here treat them with an extract from an ex-
cellent pamphlet which he had only received that
morning. It was called " Remarks upon the late
Session of Parliament, by a Near Observer." There
was a passage in the pamphlet which, as it related to
the Parliamentary efforts of a great ancestor of his
own, Lord Coke, he could not refrain from the gra-
tification of quoting, leaving it to the Meeting to ap-
ply i: as they pleased. The quotation from a speech
of Lord Cokes was as follows:—" What shall we
do ? Let us palliate no longer ;if we do, Gon will
not prosper us. I think the Duke of Buckingham is
the cause of all our miseries—(Applause and laugh-
ter)—and till the King be informed thereof, we-shall
never go out with honour, or sit with honour here. That
man is the grievance of grievances. Let us set down
the cause of all our disasters, and all will reflect upon
him." How personal the Lord Chief Justice would
have been considered had he been in Parliament in
our times. These are the specimens of what an Eng-
lish House of Commons has been—the model of what
it should be. What a contrast they present to a modern
Ministerial, Pension-making Committee—(Applause).
The Hon. Member then proceeded to state, that
nothing but the united voice of the People would
compel Ministers to observe a rigid system of eco-.
nomy and retrenchment. They .vonld urge every
excuse to keep up the establishments which were the
source of their patronage. The late melancholy atro-
cities in Ireland might have been prevented, had the
Government paid timely attention to the state of the
People of that oppressed country. In Ireland the
face of the country was without that class of yeo-
manry which was so large and respectable a portion
of this country. Indeed, there was no other nation
in the world which possessed such a body ; and yet
that was the class which was now sought to be mini?
hilated. He greatly feared that there was a wicked
and bloody set of men, bent upon establishing arbi-
trary power in this country by the intervention of
military despotism. lie hoped their measures would
be defeated, and that the great principles of Mr. Fox
would ultimately prevail, and effect the preservation
of the country. He had already told them that these
were the sentiments which had hitherto governed his
public life, and they were those to the dissemination
of which his latest breath should he devoted—(Cheers).
The CHAIRMAN next proposed the healths of " The
Members for the City of Norwich."
Mr. W. SMITH rose to return thanks on behalf of
himself and his worthy colleague (Mr. Gurney), who
was absent.

The healths of " Lord Bury"—" Lord Holland, the repre-
sentative of the name and principles of Mr. Fox"—" Au honest
man, Mr. Honywcod, the Member for Kent."
Lord BURY and Mr. HONYWOOD returned thanks.
Mr. HONYWOOD declared, that the cause of the
disease at present raging in the body politic was dire-
ful, grievous, and oppressive taxation—(Hear)—and
he therefore felt gratified in observing, that they had
instructed their Representatives to say so in the House
of Commons, and to state, that unless the weight of
taxation were diminished, it would beimpossible for
the country to obtain any relief. That this was really
and strictly true, be would convince them by stating
one single fact. Some time after the French war
commenced, wheat sold at 455. a quarter, and the
annual charge on the Debt was ten millions. How
stood the case at the present moment? Why, wheat
was only 48s. or 50s. a quarter, and the annual charge
on the Debt was 37 millions; so that, with the same,
or nearly the same, amount of income, they had to
pay taxes increased in a quadruple ratio—(Lout
cheers).—Could such a state of things last ? No ;it
was quite impossible. Mr. Ilonyw•ood then adverted
to the state of the Representation. Corruption (he
said) was at the core of Parliament ; and until it was
eradicated, it was in vain to expect any permanent
alleviation of the distresses of the country—(llear).
The Duke of NORFOLK proposed the health of "Mr.
James Macdonald, M.P."

Mr. MACDONALD, in returning thanks, took an
able view of the present situation of this country ;
and of the progress of rational liberty on the Conti-
nent, where, in spite of all the efforts made to retard
it, it had unquestionably advanced. He next alluded
to the struggle between the Greeks and the Turks.—
Where (he said) was the man, with one spark of ge-
nerous feelings, that did not wish the Greeks success
over the cruel tyrants who had for so many years
lorded it over them ? He was sure that every man
whom he then saw around him, earnestly wished for
the emancipation of that great but unfortunate
ua-
tioit—(C4ci Out did they ttnagine that; Lord Loa-

donderry wished itt-(o4a *I" frid"l")
-0; the
crl of Downing-street was-.." The SublimeOttoasaa
Porte, and the cause of legitimacy r for the Sublime
Porte, though an unholf member, still was A
bee of the Holy Allience7(Leughter). He trusted.
however, that that legitimate power, the Otto
Porte, would not succeed In cru.shiag the rising etc,
gies of Greece ; but, whether it clod or not, it was
still impossible to deny, that since their lest tneetiteg
the cause of liberty had advanced in Europe, n is,
deed with the aid, but in despite of the efforts of Eat.
land to prevent it--(Cheers).
Mr. HOWYWOOD, at the request of the Earl or m.,
bemarle, favoured the company with the song
" While happy in my native land." '
The Cuatastax, in giving the nett toast, alindei
to the changes which had recently taken place in the
Administration, and said that he feared that the only
result of them to the Public would be, that it Would
have to pay certain additional pensions, some to the
persons who had retired from, and others to the i
sons who had entered upon office. He wished tat
the Gentlemen in public situations would give the
country an account of the services for which they te,
caved their pensions. He had seen a fart let's
lately, of which the only item was, " For coring your
horse till it died," so soany pounds. He suppo%ed
that the item of services perfortred by Most ..f the
pensioned gentry would be of a similar natu. e. It
might, perhaps, run thus, " For taking care ef the
interests of the country until they were
such an annuity for life—(Cheers).—Alter some other
remarks in a similar strain, he gave the I olio% ing toast:
" May all corrupt advisers of the Crown meet their jl:4
punishment in the general c tetrad in of the country."
After this toast had been drank, the Cann:m.o.;
gave the health of Mr. Lennard, the Member for
Ipswich, and eulogised that Gentleman's endeAv,-,ur
to obtain a repeal of the Six Acts—(Cheers).
Mr. LENNARD returned thanks in a neat speech.

The following toasts were then drank :
" A speedy repeal of the Six Acts."—" The health of
Ridley Colborne."—" Earl Grey, and our friends throci,r.At
England who adhere to the principles of Mr. Fox, helienr.%
them to be best calculated to promote the happiness and welfare
of our fellow-countrymen."—" The Liberty of the First. the
_ _

••
bulwark of our hberty. —" Sir Francis 13urdett, and may the
Oplyosers of a corrupt C we-mine:at be united in one princiiO
for the common good."—" TheVice-President, Mr. Fowler."-..
" Sir Robert Wilson, and may the English soldier never forget
the rights and duties of a citizen."—" The health of Lord
Suffield."

The Duke of SUSSEX rose to propose the next teas%
which he said he had given upon a former occasion.
and which the more he gave the better he liked it—
he meant " The brave Yeomanry of the County of
Norfolk," for brave, he was happy to say it, they
really were—( Cheers).—A very different character
belonged to those denominated the Yeomanry in ano-
ther County. There they might, indeed, be the se:.
vants of shopkeepers, or even shopkeepers them-el%ts,
but Yeomen they certainly were not ; for, if they ht&
been so, the country would never have witnessed the
disgraceful outrage committed on the Peopleat Alan-
chester--(Loed cheers).—He wished to be allowed to
allude to a report which was current of the inteai•)a
of Ministers to propose a new Property-tax. He, for
one, should resist such a measure inch by inch, and foot
by foot—(Cheers)—and he would tell them why.—
If, under any pretext, such an act were once to pass,
the principle would be admitted ; and, admit the
principle, and no modification of it could afterwarA
be resisted—(Hear).—He would have them look to
the act of their own friends,the Whigs,when in power.
One of the most unfortunate acts mhich they ha.:
ever committed was the increasing of the per centage
on property—(Hear).--Now if they could he led in:a
such a snare, what would others be inclined to da
who had every temptation to augment and not to
minish the expenditure of the country—(Ckeers).—
Tim agriculturists ought not to be deluded by :::e
expectation of any relief from such a measure; it wottl
be merely paying the same amount of taxes in
other shape; it would be merely removing the 1)u:-
den from one shoulder to the other, and in plain Er.-
lish, only lobbing Peter to pay Paul—(Laughter end
thee) r).—His Royal Highness concluded his speech,
by giving " The health of the Yeomanry t;::
county of Norfolk, and may they long continue t 3
enjoy those rights, which they so well know how to
maintain." This :oast was drank with three tint::
three cheers, as was also the following:—
" Mr. llunse, to whom our gratitude is due for the con:;'.::_
detection and exposure of the system of corruption."
Toast—" Sir T. Beevor and the Stewsrds."

Sir T. BEEVIIR returned thanks.
Song—" Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled!"
Toast—" The Gentlemen who formed the ComMt:i
Management."
Mr. E. TAYLOR returned thanks.
Toast—" The Rights of the People."

The Earl cf ALRENtARLic in giving the next ant
last toast—" The Ladies of the County," returned t!,..!
company his sincere thanks for the support whic:i
they had given him in the Chair, and expressed 1::s
great satisfaction at meeting so numerous and re-
spectable an assembly of the Gentry and Ye:-
manry of Norfolk.
His Lordship then quitted the Chair, and accom-
panied his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex out of
the room, amidst the loudest and most enthusiastic
eheering.—The company immediately afterwards
separated, it being at that time about one o'clock oa
Friday morning.

We understand that Mr. HOLT, who was stated is
a paragraph in our Paper of Thursday, as having
been dismissed from the Victualling-Wice, along'
with several others, in consequence of some disco-
veries resulting from a recent investigation, was not
dismissed, but was allowed to resign in conscqueace
of upwards of fifty years service.—No charge rela-
tive to discounting bills was ever brought agailbt
that Gentleman.

We hear the• some of the Es-Commissioners of the
Victualling Ward are preparing a Memorial to Go-
vernment to obtain their retiring salaries. I: 6w"
parted, and we believe on good authority, that some
or one of the Commissioners have surreptitiously had
shares in contracts, of which themselves had the let-
ting l The report, if true, we presume, settles the Fer-

We may, perhaps, shortly be able to lay the whole
machinery open to the world, We may record, for
the benefit of admiring posterity, how an individual ;

in the Chamber of Deputies on M. de SERRE'S Law
Pr, ject relative to the Press. The commencement of

p The coatinu.iti,•n, on Tuesday, for it was not then
concluded, possesses little interest. •
General SaEASTLANL said two Projects had been
resented—one by the Ministers, the other by the

Committee. He 1% ished to know v. hich of the Pro-
tv.:s the Ministers intended to s•,poort. M. PEYRoN.,
irr rose. not to answer the General, but to say that
the wishes and opinions of the Nlinist.-r, %tete not
cuivocal, but they could not then be sta:ed. Several i
iembers complained, that in the C.immiztee, of
llcli M. PEYRONNET was a Member, the Jut y had
eel unanimously suppressed. Several Members spoke
gainst the Project, among whom was M. ROTIIR
COLLARD, when the discussion was adjourned to the
17:Lowing day. .
A Petition was presented to the Chamber from a
141r.LeAUMONT, proposing nothing short of hostilities
i3ainst the Island of Hayti, for the purFo.e of reco-
wing pos ession of its territory. Tne Chamber very
wisely pa-sed to the order of the day on this insane
:-i:)ject, 101 so any attempt to bring St. Domingo
igain under the dominion of France must be cot.,i-1

lered. now that the Republic of Patios and the
Kingdom of CHRISTOPHE are not only united, but
:ven the Spanish part of the Island has shaken off the
Fake and proclaimed its independence. The whole
)f this large Island will, no doubt, ere long be united
in one great Republic.
An article from Petersburgh, in one of the French
Papers, confirms the accounts of the movements or
he Russian and Turkish Armies. A letter f on,
guremberg states, that the King of WIRTEMBERO is
about to form a levy of 4000 men, of the age of
twenty or twenty-one years.
At Vienna, news is said to have been received that
the Puha of Trebisond had raised the standard of
revolt, and secretly declared to the Persians that lie
e•as determined to make common cause with them,
I trey would acknowledge his independence.
The following extr ict of a private letter from Ma-
ar;.l, appears in the Journal des Debats :
" MADRID, JANUARY 12.

" Y.7sterday the King issued the following 1)-N.ree:

4 111 Ci.llFcciteznee of the indisposition of my Secretary of State
f,,r the Department of the Interior, Don Cauos Manuel, charged
with the affairs of the Interior, I appoint to that De-
partici( nt the first (Id de Bureau, Don Favier l'inella.'

" The Government has, with much satisfaction,
his day received intelligence of the happy termina-
ion of ti,e dissensions which agitated Seville.
" The Government has also received a Report
from M. Albistu, lately appointed Political Chief of
Seville, announcing that he was on his way to fulfil
his functions without any other authority than that
of the law. He proceeds on the invitation of the Com-
mandant of Seville, who has informed him that all
the obstacles which had hitherto prevented the sub-
ani,:: -,:n of that city to the Government were removed.
'' I. consequence of this official intelligence, the
fear of a dissolution of the Government is put aside,
at least to a more remote period. The submission of
Seville wiil necessarily produce the submission of
C.tdiz, Alicent, Carthagena, Barcelona, &c.

HAMBURG% JAUNARY re.
Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the Ist of Is-
y , say, that fr om want of snow, the communication
v the interior is for the most part impeded, and that
t!:is circumstance is a great hindrance to commerce,
which is already in so unfavourable a situation. In
many of the provinces of Russia a want of grain be-
:ra to be felt; so that several persons, high in office,
2:e gone thither, in order to adopt such measures as
may be found necessary. Other accounts from St.,
l'cte.rsburgh, of the date abovementioned, say—
" A sort of gloom still prevails here respecting
the question of peace or war• The inhabiumts of
IL wry, as well as of the otbcr cities of the empire,

are generally patticipitting in ardent zeal for the
cause of the Greeks."
The accounts from Sweden likewise state, that from
want of snow the bringing of iron, &c. to the sea ports
is, for the most part, stopped.
BRUSSELS, JANUARY N. . I
Private letters from Paris say, that the Order of
Malta has the project to make itself master of an
island in the Archipelago ; and there to fix the seat of
its sovereignty, but that its endeavours to obtain the
consent of the Great Powers are counteracted by
England.
