Crosses where-tire King was used to be proclaimed !
(Loud laughter).—And yet these were folks of no
small note—intelligent and highly-gifted individuals,
they had spent their lives in the study of literature—
their pursuit was improvement—nay, their habits
44 smelt o' the lamp"—their zeal was as unabated as
their motives were pure—they would establish a Cu
tical Board, conduct it for the whole and sole objects
of pubic instruction, and by no means for any gain,
pensiOn, emolument, or prospect whatever to them the
said Sewell, Bothwell, &c. (Loud laughter and cheers).
But their power would be short-lived, for there ex-
isted a Board infinitely above and controuling theirs,
a tribunal before which they should ;touch in the end,
the great tribunal of public opinion—(Hear, hear).—
They werenow wearing ideal crowns, but their crowns
would soon be turned to caps and bells ; they would
be signs to mark them out for the scorn of the world.
Long awl they live to wear these caps Ind bells !
and long may the people of Englandaaugh at them!
Laugh at them they would, for they were worth
nothing else ; and he was assured .that there *as no
English Jury which would give a verdict against a
defendant, when they saw that the prosecutorx were
the avowed satellites of the Government—men whose

business it was to take away the little liberty that was
still left us—(Cheering).—Before quitting the subject,
he could not help remarking a great change in the
face of things within some years. In 1794, there was
an AssociAtion formed for the purpose of putting down
the Press, which was called " The Crown and Anchor

Association." Now, how much were either we or the
Crown and Anchor changed!—(Hear.)—The only
Association now recognized at the Crown and Anchor,
was one for preserving, not oppressing, the Liberty of
the Press and of the People, and for -keeping all that
remained to us of that which was once, and still will
be, the glory and pride of the people of England—
{Vie Hon. Measlier sat doom amidst the loudest cheers).
Tune —4, Old England, as &pelf be true."
The Hutu CR A taxa N then congratulated the friends
of Reform on the late Ministerial Member for the
metropolitan county having been thrown out at the
last Election, and concluded by proposing the health
of—" Samuel Charles Whitbread, Esq. and the Re-
formers of Middlesex."

Mr. WHITBREAD expressed his acknowledgments
for the honour done him, and assured the company
that he should never forget the solid marks of appro-
bation he had experienced from the Electors of % est-
minster on the trying occasion hdverted to by his
Hon. Friend in the Chair. The Hon. Baronet had
been among the foremost to 'come forward in his
support, and to him he owed much more than he
could express—(Appktese).--The principles with
which he had set out in life he should never abandon;
and he always would be found numbered among the
friends 3f Reform--(App/ause).
The next toast was—

" The Constitution of Old England—not the Coostltution of

Dungeon and GAgging thUs, of Standing Armies in Time of
Peace—or of Constitutional Associations, who employed the
People's money to persecute the People's Friends, and destroy
the Liberty of the Press"—(4llpp/aux).
Mr. TEILLWALL came forward. After the able ad-
dress of their worthy Representatives, and the notice
taken by them of the situation in which we were
placed by the Constitutional Association, a subject
which formed so prominent a feature of the send-
ment just then given, he felt considerable difficulty
in intruding himself on the attention of the Meeting;
but knowing as he did the glorious uncertainty of
the law, and conscious that intrigue was spread widely
to prevent justice being done in political proceed-
inns, his age and habits taught him to fear that this
would be the last opportunity he would have for
addressing them, and therefore he could not let it
slip—((;rug of !it is not the last time).—He did
not despair, however, for could he despair when he
saw that liberty should ultimately be gained? For
himself he cared nothing: it was of little conse-
quence what befel an individual, if general prin-
ciples were not sacrificed—(Loud and long applause).
Neither was he much daunted at the force winch was
brought against him, notwithstanding he saw an as-
sociated parse arrayed against an almost purseless
individual. Though the leaders of Armies and the
members of Cabinets—Lords, Ladies, Bishops, and
beneficed Clergymen, were employed to fight and
pray against him—(flear)—though all these were
opposed to him, yet would he triumph in the outset
of the battle, and his enemies be defeated—(Cheers)
—for defeated they would surely be if the Press was
true to itself—if it recollected that it was not an in-
dividual that was attacked, but the Press itself—
(Hear).—lle had no doubt of the result if the Press
took the matter up as it ought—if, forgetting all
little distinctions, it exerted itself, it would surely
triumph, and its persecutors would then be criminals
at the bar of their country (Hear, hear).—The Press
had already had too much experience of prosecutions
by the Crown ; but the prosecutors, by this Asso-
ciation, would deprive defendants of advantages
which they enjoyed when prosecuted by the Attorney-
General. This Association was, in fact, a conspiracy
against the liberties of the country, which they would
put down by a process worthy the Spanish Inquisi-
tion. He concluded by calling upon all parties to
join their efforts together, in resistance to this unwar-
ranted attack upon the Liberties of the Press, and
consequently of the People—(Loud cheers).
Tune—" Liberty or Death:*
Upon the health of Alderman Wow beinjprlo
posed, the company received it with loud acana:
tious ; and the worthy Alderman returned thanks.
He expressed a hope that the same spirit of union
that was found to prevail among the Electors of
Westminster, would be found to animate the Livery
of London. He then adverted to'the part he had taken
in the case of the Queen, and declared that his mo-
tives had been purely disinterested. He could now
state, that from his having espoused the cause of that
Illustrious Individual, who, without some friendly
interposition, must have fallen a victim to persecu-
Sian, he had been made the object of the most un-
• warrantable attack from the very highest quarters—
(Shame, shame). Nothing, however, that his enemies
could do was able to break down his spirit, and to
the very last hour of his life he should boldly and
fearlessly resist oppression, from whatever quarter it
might proceed—(Applause). After commenting on
the principles upon which the Constitutional Asso-
ciation was founded, he said he regretted exceedingly
that any individual belonging to the Corporation or,
London was connected with it, particularly one of
the twenty-six Magistrates of the City, Among whom

We have received to-day the Paris Papers of Mon-
day, extracts from which arrived yesterday by express.
We find that their contents had been very inaccurately
anticipated by these extracts ; but the length of our
Parliamentary Report, on an extremely important
subject, and other interesting domestic matter, leave
us room only to notice, in the briefest manner, the
omitted points. _ _

The principal Chiefs of Wallachia have not fol-
lowed the example of those of Moldavia, but pro-
nounced themselves in favour of YPSILANTI, and
against the Porte.
News from Brody, of the 14th of April, announce,
that Au PACRA did positively, on the 10th of April;
abjure Mahometanism, and embrace the Greek Reli-

gion, adopting the name of CONSTANTINZ; and that
he had consented to put himself under the orders of
YPSILANTI, and had actually marched for Salonica.

Besides YPSILANTI and THEODORE, a third Chief
had made his appearance, called DEMETRIUS MA-
DZKONSKY.

The army of YPSILANTI is stated, in various con-
curring accounts, to have increased from 3000 to
36,000 men. Volunteers, chiefly of the Greek na-
tion, are constantly joining him from all sides, and
the number of Greek insurgents augments daily in
all the Provinces :heated along the coasts of the Me-
diterranean.

YPSILANTI has issued a Proclamation to the Boyars
of Moldavia and Wallachia, in which be virtually
disclaims any intention of revolutionizing these Pro-
vinces, but states, that an enterprize having been
formed for the deliverance of Greece, a considerable
number of Greeks, hitherto resident in these two
Provinces, will take arms to return to the sacred soil
of their country ; that the native Wallachians and
Molduians have nothing to fear. frojn thus ; « but

The Inverness-shire Militia are to be embolied oq
the 11th of July, for twenty-one days trainiug.

We have also received to-day Papers direct from
Madrid to the 10th of April. They are filled with
details of various arrests of suspected persons through:
out the Provinces, their numbers, names, &c. but
they announce no new event of a general character.
It is not without satisfaction that we observe that the
Constitutionalists, whatever objection there may be
tir their mode of acting, are everywhere the more
numerous and prevailing party.

Mails arrived this forenoon from Holland and
Flanders, with Papers to the 22d instant.

An article from Frankfort of the 16th May, later
by one day than any previous accounts we have from
that place, states that the Emperors of RUSSIA and
AUSTIIIA had quitted Laybach to return to Vienna.
The Diet of Norway have, it appears, rejected the
proposal of the Ktmc to defer the proposition relative
to the abolition of the Order of Nobility in that king-
dom ; so that the change will probably have to take
place in spite of all CHARLES JOHN'S apprehensions
from the jealousy of his Illustrious Allies. It argues
a good deal of independent common sense in these
Mountaineers that they have not been deluded by
CHARLES JOHN'S sophistry on the subject—for it was
nothing less. The Holy Allies have done some wild
enough things, to be sure ; but to expect that they
would make a crusade into the icy mountains of Nor-
way, to restore an order of titled paupers is too much.

Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE,
accompanied by the Duchess of KENT, went to
Bushy, where their Royal Highnesses spent the day.
Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER
had a numerous party to dinner.
The Duke of DEVONSHIRE has postponed, indefi-

dinner yesterday, at his house in Saville-row.
Mr. FLOWER, of Bedford-square, gave a splendid

magnificent suite of rooms were brilliantly illuminated
on the occasion. The delighted company did not
depart till a late hour on Wednesday morning.

i'dzwecnoxy Aocumer.—Saturday hut, as the youngest son
of Cnauss blows, Esq. of Great Cumberland-place, a fine
young man of 19, was driving through Bridgewater in a tilbury,
with a friend, the hone unfortunately took fright, when the
reins breaking, they both jumped out, and Mn ?donuts falling
upon his head, fractured his skull, and expired on the spot.

The town of Zurich was thrown into the greatest
distress on the 7th instant, by a deplorable event. A
company, consisting of sixteen married and single
Ladies, embarked on the Liamath to proceed to Dic-
tition, a neighbouring viUage, for the purpose of ad-
ministering comfort, aid contributing their mite to
the subscription for the benefit of the sufferers in the
late destructive fire, which consumed nearly the whole
♦illage. An imprudent young man; who joined the
company, amused himself by making the boat roll
from side to side, and terrified some of the Ladies so
much, as to make them quit their positions and lay
hold of one another. The consequence was, that the
boat upset, and the whole company were immersed in
the water, and only one of the whole was*aved. This
lamentable event has covered the towa with mourning. I
