upon theta. It was a source of unfeigned eetisfac.
don to every Member of the Club, to witness how'
effective their exertions its the pule et Independent's
had belles. Ile had a toast to propeie to them, and
at pis pin *like stogie; could it be se appropriately
introduced as at the pleura moment. If the Clelt
bad been of greet service, it was owing to the Peer-
sf the peruse whose name be was about to men-
tiOlp7lll fact the CIO owed its origin to him—it was
he who drew op the Resolutions open which the Club
was formed, and who, by his active eat/dim' after-
wards assisted to carry his plan into effect. It was
•e small gratification to theee who formed the CIO,
to rellect bow few their Members were then, end to
loiik round and see bow numerous and respectable
they were pow., Ile begged to propose—
" Toomirr at the Club. Mr. V. Sharp.," which aaa
drank with three dews three.
Mr. &Mar felt great eMbarrassment in rising tore.

Lord CLIFTON Neat proposed the health of the
Chwirome, which was received with wialmmoded up
please.r •
The CHAIRMAN' said—" There were moments .11
which language was inadequate to express the teenage,
of the heart—be foetid himself in that perdicauseut.
If his conduct had met with thelt approbation it gavel
him the greatest satisfaction, and be hoped be should
never forfeit their good opinion. Fot the very flat-
tering manner in which they had done him the ho-
nour to drink his health, he begged leave to return
his most graters' thanks, and hoped that a long
.and
prosperous life awaited every Gentlemia in the
room."

Lord Cr rrow then proposed the health of F.
Read, Esq. the Treasurer of his Committee;
When Mr. RZAD said, Mr. Chairman, end Gee.
denten of the Independent Club, and all my Bro.
Cher Freemen—The very handsome manner in which
the Noble Lord has proposed—avid the uncommon
plaudits with which you bate drank my health, is a
proof that in the office in which his .Lordship has
placed me, I have done enough to give satisfaction
to nly Noble employer, end to those fpr whose con.
renience and benefit I was employed; and deserves
what I can bet feebly pay—my warmest thanks.—
The finishing the business of this office is the term'.

61 the arduous duties pf it, under his Lordship's
kindness and the Members' of his Committee, with.
dot wasteful profusion, or any thing approaching to
niggardliness—so far as . bath been left+end much
batibren to my discretioo. We are now about to re.
turn to our usual avocations end intercourses in life;
let us now forget ell election squabbles—let us make
a wide grave, and bury ell animosities. And what.
ever has been amiss on the side of those who opposed
us—let us freely forgive it all, ner think the sacrifice'
too greet—for we ought to recollect we have much
to he forgiven. Let us strive each one to conciliate
his brother and his friend—nor fear that such conduct
will expose us to ridicule for temerity or cowirdicr,
for should that be the case, and our opponents show
their dislike to our stepping over the threshold, we
will endeavour nest Election to take the whole house.

The health; of Joseph Boyle and Wm. Freed,
Emirs. were then proposed and drank with enthesias.

The health of '6 Alderman Cooper, the firm, in.

When fortune left Aso Montan of Europe victorioss
over tbe liberties of France, and their despotic Cois.
cils began to lay the foundations of eternal slavery sod
iyenny, the .minds of men were overshadowed
with despondency,. and 'they thought, like ADAM,
,'rotten be beheld for the first time the Son descending
'
feels the Heavens, and setting in the depths of night,
that the annihilation of liberty was involved in the
downfall of ttie power of France, and the orb that
had so lung given. splendour to her reign. They
were mistaken; and the puny Legitimates, who sought
to trample the People's rights under the feet of their
soldiery; may yet acknowledge, in the bitterness of
hombled pride and merited punishment, the folly and
Impiety of the attempt to blot oat the light of free.
dour from a creation that GOD has illumined. The
" unconquerable mind and freedom's holy flame"
admit of no such usurpation, and it is iu rota
that man endeavours to hide what GOD would
reveal. If the nations of the Continent who
panted for liberty, shook off the yoke that linked
them to the triumphal car of NAPOLtON, and lent
their strength to the vile herd of Kings, who beguiled
them with promises end prospects of greater freedom
and relief from oppression, which they themselves
bad been the instruments in creating, and becamelen..
tangled in the toils of artifice and Legitimacy; let
this not be taken for the unchangeable triumph of
slavery, and the resistless establishment of despotic
power. It was bet a proof of the desire of the People
to be free, and of the power of the Nations of Europe
to assert their liberties. Men are now'reteroing to a
just sense of their present degradation, and they seem
intent on the assertion and recovery of their rights,;
—The .People every where appear to be deierrpined
on obtaining the recognition and the enjoyment of
the rights of Freemen ; and although on the Con.
tinent their progress is as quiet, as it is secure, they
know their own interests too well not to show that
they are as able to remove obstacles as they are qua.
lifisrd to enjoy freedom.
In Great Britain, where it is still a more difficult
task to suppress the spirit of liberty, equally daring
and criminal attempts have been made to de.
prive the People of their rights, arid to per.
petuate oppression. These efforts have been too
successful in preying upon property and invading
personal freedom. They have even been allowed to
esspend the Constitutional Law of the Country for a
[time, in order that the popular body might be in.
jilted, and their rights outraged with greater hope.
Oily. But this conduct and its approvers have met
with their reward in the voice and substantial embo.
dy ment of general 'secretion; and the love of liberty,
which has overcome so many obstacles and is im•
perishable in the breast of Britons, gives fresh hope
that new triumphs will be speedily acquired over the
system of oppression, corruption, and abuse, which
has created so many evils in this country.—
The People are panting to be relieved from the
abuses that are chaining them to the earth, and
threatening them with estinction as a free nation.
ft is ilisPossible but they must finally accomplish their
object. It is impossible that craft and force can eter.
sally subdue the powers of reason, and blight the
.fruit of knowledge. The People, of England are
most hatefully oppressed by corruption, in every
shape, and under every disguise. 'they see themselves
at home, the victims of their own credulity, and the
dupes of insidious artifice, by which they were drawn
into a war that was began for the istermination of
Foreign Liberty, and ended is all bet the utter !rani.
'lllation of every thing that could be dear to English-
men. Abroad, they find themselves cursed and hated
ever/ where, for the abominatioos that have beets
dose Ira their ease. The resources of the nation aro
ezbausted--heresergias are cramped. A Military
Establishment Is malatidned In the midst of peace, and
a majority of the House of Cammons is paid f,t vot.
log away do rights, the liberties, and the property of
the People. Can such things continue? Will not
the an be laid to the root of these evils sooner or
later? We cannot doubt it. The growing intelli.
genes of the world is prophetic of a change fur the
better. The goose of Commons crust be reformed ;
it must become tha echo of the public voice. The cry
for Reformation is just and snivels.' ; and `reformed
the Howe of Commons last by of all is lust.
