head, who was in the chair, delighted the company
with an elegant eulogiuth on the life and character,
heroic deeds, and personal acts of valour, performed
, by King Roams', during the nine years preceding the
glorious v:c.ory which secured to his country and
ipdsterity ther liberty and independence. In the
4rattful enthusiasm. of the meeting, the memory of
ttie Hero was drank with three times three, and peals
-stif hussassechoed from the same walls that lodged
hirr4 the morning on which lie performed the bold
deed that led to his getting pnssession of the crown.
The next toast nins—the legal lineal Heir and Re-
Itresentati ve of ROBERT BRUCE, as well, as of other in.
numerable. and- knmetrtal heroes—the Sons:mon of
the present day, onnsvenerablo and beloved Kisn,
long may he live, and maintain, as he has done, the
41.3.re1igi0n,,,, atl.l constitutional rights of his people.
Tote cup of gratiriscii :was also filled to the other
-Herne:, who contributed so conspicuously to recover
and establish the independence of their country : the
. chiet Of whom were Sir-WILLI/as WALLACR, Sir Jorns
the Gan tisitt, 'and Sir JOAN of Ronhili, who tell by.
that great and renowned Patriot's side. Nor were
forgot—the Great Douusssand Ronnot.Pll MUKRAy,
who cotninanded under King Ronan- at the tele.
orated battle-Of Bannock Burn, the lasting harpy ef-
fects of which are felt by those born in the Lod of
(Lk: at this day—Several of the descendants of these.
illustrious charnefers being present, added to the en.
thusiasm with which their memories were drank.
The similarity of those times to the present (when
several of the states aud kingdoms of Europe are
struggling to recover their constitutional privileges
from the grasp of the greatest tyrant and robber of
the rights of mankind ever recorded in history). was
felt by every individual of the meeting, who drank—
" The 'Patriots of Spain, Portugal, Germany, and
the whole Continent ; and may the Austrian armies,
guided by the prudence, and led en by the valour of
Prince CuARLES, bring the contest in which they are
engaged to a close as signal as its commencement !"
fhe train esf feelings to which this last toast gave
rise, was heightened by the celebrated song of" Scnts
wha hae wi' Wallace bled," given in esqu'ite taste
by FRANCIS Hennonson, T,sq. al. nz with sestina' other
'songs•cet npose.l for the occasion.
The company,, satisfied of the propriety of t - .5.an....
niversary festiial, resolved to continue it, and for this
purpose they nominated a committee of seven of the
Gentlem'n present to conduct the business, against
the ensuing year.
Mr. FTEIVART'S health was then drank, and. the
thanks i f theimeeting were voted to him for his polite
and able conduct while in the chair.
