borde, the Due de Montebello, and several other French persons of co:.
sequence. The company, about 900 in number, received their distil.
guished guests in the manner you may conceive.
After dinner, Mr. BUCKINGHAM rose ts propose the first toast, which
he prefaced by an eulogy of the bravery displayed by the Parisians
their conflicts with the armed soldiers of the late despotism, and their
still more glorious moderation after their victory. He concluded by
proposing the healths of the three most popular rulers the three
most independent and free States in the universe—the Kings of France
and England, and the President of the United States of America.
The Viet:-PanstunsT having translated the toast Into French. the
whole company rose and drank It with the usual hewers, after which.
the music in attendance played your national hymn—" GOD save the
King."
The next toast was the health of General Lafayette, and when the
enthusiastic applause with which it was drunk had subsided, the illus-
trious champion of liberty rose, and returned thanks in English in the
following terms . " Among the proudest enjoyments of my life I place
the sympathy and approbation bestowed on me by the British and Amc-
rican citizens here assembled. I want words to imy gratitude.
for the kind manner in which my name was introduced President
I have been for a long series of years a worshipper of the fire of liberty.
