We rejoice that the arts and mis-
representations ofthe Freedom shrek
ers" have not succeeded in corrupting
the patriotism, or misleading the judg
ment of the great majority of those OF
our adopted fellow citizens who came
to this country to enjoy the blessings
ofits liberty and protection, instead of
following out their habits in Europe,
Of getting mp revolutions for the sake
OF the confusion and excitement which
Il creates.

assurance of my profound acknowledgements.
 There are some subjects on which it would be lll-tlmed, and more enterprsing than wise, for me to touch on this occasion and ill this presence. Indeed, my arrival is SO recent that l scarcely can pretend to know the subjects which would be most acceptable to YOU. | dare say, however, 1 shall incur but little haz. ard if venture, according to a provincialism natural to western tongue, to guess that the spirit and purpose of newcomer may have excited at least some little curiosity. "A laugh.] Well, my lord, let me say that am not authorized to feel, and do not feel, any desire other than that of giving my exertions and energies unreserved to the restoration of the most harmonious sentiments and friendly relations. Cheers Animated by this spirit, and aiming at such purpose if fail-and may tall--it will be because of some inexora- ble, overruling State policy, or some ioregone conclusion not to be undone by uniform, steady, perseverng frank, and honorable equalization. Renewed cheers. My lord, permit me, in conclusion-for my object is to be exceedingly bricf--to tender to your lordship and the guests assembled here my congratulations on the great event consummated since my arrlv mong you the restoration of peace to Europe. Cheers. War, although undoubtedly accompanied by Its moral benefits or alleviations, is at best -n evil; and the vast powers of this emp. z, Al- though for time, and however gallantly, enlisted and ably directed, will find more ge- nal and more fruitful employment in those hannels--agrlcultural, commercial, manufac- turlng--and those pursuits which have hther- to so signally illustrated the exertions of her people. Loud cheers.] My lord, I again thank you"
