Late a band of Patriots rofc, Firm in freedom's glorious caufc ; Feeble Slaves in vain oppose Rights fecur'd by equal laws. 111.

Verdant Myrtle's branchy pride Shall my thirsty blade entwine, Such, Hakmodius, deck'd thy fide! Such Arijtogiton bethine. The Earl of Stanhope introduced the next toa.l in a Itiort and pointed address, in which he said, that the company was allembled together that day io celebrate one of the greatest and moll im portant Revolutions that had ever happened. It had rellored to the rights of men twenty four millions of human beings.—lt had dellroyed a government of foul corruption, intrigue and ty ranny—and, 011 the utter ruin of a fyltem of sla very, it hail in the iliort space of one year ella blilhed a government, founded on the natural equality of men. They had even in this glorious iy Item improved on the conititution of England, for they had not only ellabliihed civil, but reli gious liberty. They had 110 laws to complain of, such as difgaaced our Statute hook. '1 hey did not restrain their women from going out of the kingdom, lell they ihould be converted from their religion—nor had they any law by which their clergy, by falling and prayer, were enabled to call out devils. They had abolilhed tythes, and they had made a provision, that no description of men ihould be driven from offices of trull, be cause they had the bad fortune or the good for tune to differ from the eftabiilhed church. Having concluded a very liandfome culogium on tiieir conduct, by faying that in many things they had given us a lesion, from which we ought, in virtuous emulation, to improve, he gave as the next toast. 6. An end to all jealouiles between Britain and France—and may they vie with each other in ex tending to all the other nations of the earth, peace, virtue and liberty. Dr. Price, in a ihort paper, paid an elegant compliment to the grand fyfteni of liberty they liad eltabliilicd. It was an union between pliilo fophy aqd politics ; for in its spirit it not only ■went to give the people of France their just en joyment of liberty, but it looked abroad to other nations, and held forth peace and good will to all people, as fellbw beings and as brethren. The people of France particularly pointed to England, as to the country with which, for their mutual intereft,and for the interests of mankind, they wiihed moll eagerly to be united. He knew from the nioft refpecftable quarter, that they were not only desirous of this, but that an offer of such an alliance was likely to be made. Iffo, what imilt not be the effect offucli an alliance on all the nations of the earth ! Holland on this lidc of tlie globe, and America on the otUei" ; would join the grand confederacy, and, thus united, they would ensure peace to the whole world. He concluded with exprelling in a i'en timent. what ni nit be the cordial wilh of all men on the fubje<9i. 7. /i league between Great-Britain and France for perpetuating peace, and making the world happy. 8. To the memory of those Patriots 111 France who have loft their lives in fighting for the liber ties of their country The Earl of Sian'.iope here read to the com >any ihe oath which ihe National AHembly have prepared for the King, to take on the day of the General Confederation. 9. M. de la Fayette, M. Bailli, and M. de Mi rabeau, M. de Rabau de St. Etienne, and the reft of the Patriots of France. 10. M. Sheridan, and the reft ofthe Patriots of E.igland, who have defended against prejudice, the French Revolution. Mr. Sheridan, in a most eloquent speech, re turned. thanks to the numerous body, lor the ve ry warm and gratifying manner in which they had done him the honor to drink his health. It was a most ample reward for his public conduct, to oe so honored by a meeting of men, allembled from their pure attachment to freedom ; and he afiured them, that the sentiments he had exprefi cd 011 the French Revolution, he should carry with him through life. In every iituation he should ad: on the fame principles ; for, in his mind, though it would be a molt narrow thing to objetft to the French Revolution, if it did nothing more than secure to Frenchmen their jult and natural rights, yet it was pregnant with the molt beneficent consequences to this country, and to humankind. We know from fatal experience, that the old Monarchy of France, ever looked forward to war as the means of preserving and augmenting its tyranny. We already have a proof in the conduct of the National Aflembly, that they were actuated by a very different spirit. The expressions of good will which the noble Chairman had so truly afcribedto them, and tlie intention which Dr. Price had slated, that they entertained of proposing an alliance with this country, were so advantageous to Great-Britain and to mankind, that they demanded the most marked return of kindness and good will from us. It had Itruck him and other gentlemen, that our feelings on the fubjeift Ihould be exprelledin something more pointed than a toast, and with the permiifion of the company he would move a few words in the way of resolution. He then moved that it be resolved " That "this meeting does most cordially rejoice in the eftablilhment and confirmation of liberty in France; and that it beholds with peculiar fatisfacftion the senti ments of amity and goodwill which appear to pervade that country towards this ; especially at a time when it is the manifeft intcreft of both Srates that neither should interrupt the harmony which at present subsists between them, and which is so eflential to the freedom and happiness not only of both nations, but of all mankind." This resolution was received by the whole Meeting, with the most vehement acclamations of applause, and which were damped only for a time by Mr. Home Tooke representing himfelf, and mounting the table to speak, a general murmur ran through the room, and it was sometime be fore he could be heard. At length he was fuf fered to begin. He said, when he was a younger man, he flattered the women, but he disdained to flatter men. He was utterly careless of the ap plause of the company. He knew of better re wards than their favor, and he should be happy even in their disapprobation. He desired they would in their resolution, mark the diftincftion between this government and that of France. They had to build a ship from the keel. We had a ship with a found bottom, but which had only gathered foine concretions, and wanted to be docked. Mr. Sheridan then shortly animadverted on some paflages of what Mr. Tooke had said. He should not depart iroin what he had said, that the approbation of a great public body.com'pofed not of party men, but of men of all parties altera bled from one principle, was to him the hicrheft reward for political services that he looked to Mr. Tooke might prefer other rewards : he did not wish to envy him his gratification, whatever it might be. He certainly, in his resolution, did not point at any difference in thetwo countries but lie was free to confefs, that though there was much room for improvement in the British go vernment, he should never,in any situation, coun tenance the introduction of anarchy on the one hand, neither should he support tyranny under the pi etext of avoiding anarchy on the otlie. The resolution was then put to the fhevv of hands, and carried unanimously. Mr. Sheridan then gave as a toast winV-r^f^ 3 ' 1^813 " 110156 ' which was drank with great joy. «««»• Mr 1 T' l ' ,C ° '">>"Cl,ai r from " P (" a ° d «™<l without 612 " Ecfolvca, That the company feel equal fe. tisfaiTtioii, that the people of England by ti?- virtuous exertions ot their ancestors, haven t f arduous a talk to perforin as those of France h now had ; and that they have only to mai.S and improve the Conftituyon which their tncef tprs have tranfuiitted to them." It vvas then moved and resolved, that the res lutions be tranfmicted to the National Aflemhl°* and be published in our newspapers. The President jlien gave the following toasts • 12. Equal religious liberty to all mankind 1?. All equal representation to the people in Parliament. . 14. The sacred rights of men, and may all nations have wisdom to understand, and to defend them. 15. May th? glorious example of France tea 1 other nations the value of the blessing, t 0 fa / 01 16. May the enemies of freedom be draWj full length, and the gallows be the frame of th pitflure. 17- May the glorious Revolution in France provoke in Britons the emulation never m excelled in liberty. 18. May our Representatives be honest and our people free, so that Britain may nevtr'ftand in need of another revolution. The Earl of Stanhope informed the company that the fragment of the Baftile on the table was really genuine, and had been presented to the company for that days solemnity by Mademoiselle D'Eon. The reft of the evening was fpenr in the high est conviviality. We never witnefled a more ani". niared, or a more rriumphanc display of enthu fiafin in the cause of freedom. There was a very large appearance of the true and genuine friends of libei ty—the Whigs of England—the men who were the firft to feel and establish the rights of men. And wetruft that those of another descrip tion, who aflifted in this meeting, will be caught by the fervor of the day, t,o refpedi and cherish ac home the invaluable blessing which they joined 011 Wednesday in commeinorating, on being ob tained by others.
