was intended ooly to ezh*sst the time of the Court; and to delay them front coining-to a iiote , which the worthy Member did wale. The worthy Member talked about his loyalty ; But-would 99 men out of 100 believe a word of it ? Addresses of May 14th, 1770, and March .14th, 1776, were then read. Mr. CROOK and Mr. GRIFFITHS supported the mo tion by a few words. Mr. Alderman Woon was not aware what was to be done. The Motion went to no specific object ; and upon that principle he should have supported the am endment had it been persisted in. [Mr. WAITHMAN i nter posed that lie only suggested it, he did not pro pose i t .) When the Court went up with a cringing address, t hey were well enough received ; but when they carr ied stall a one as they did upon a late occa sion, t he manner in which the Corporation was treat ed was most contemptuous. The worthy Alderman tad t he Non heard, and he just now whispered it in the ear of . Baronet (SirW.Curth),' that Mr. Perceval's resignat i o n was tendered on Sunday last ; the Hon. Baronet declared he did not know it ; and therefore t he worthy gave him . credit for his present indifference about party ; it might. lead him agreea bly to chime in with whomsoever should be Minister. The wor thy Alderman was - sorry.at-present that the Aldermen should form the aristceratical body. of the Corporation ; he thought for that - cr.ason they ought riot to interfere in requisitions ; and ite, for his part, should go up with no address in which the people had not an interest • Mr. Alderman GoociatisznE expressed his surprise to hear this called no'political question. In his °pi s nion it was most deeply so. However desirous they were to honour the King as a Man, they ought to take care not to lose all respect for the privileges of the people. lie would put it seriously to any man, whe- Z)er he could sit down contented with believing that the succeeding reign would be, made up of the gloomy list of taxes, defeats, and loans of which this had been composed. It was a bad symptom to see mankind so blind to their situation as they now seemed. Mr. Deputy KEsinte thought, that when the pro. posed celebration had been commenced by the mer. chants and bankers of the city, it did not become the Corporation to be backward in loyalty; but it could add nothing to the comfort of his Majesty, that this should be done in any expensive way. If it could, let t he Corporation spend all it had : the worthy Deputy would sacrifice all he had to the comfort of the King. • The question was then loudly callidfor and the mo tions (for which see the first-page of our paper) were put and carried unanimously.
