ATICINS, MAYOR. A COMMON. COUNCIL, holden in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the City of London, on Fainat, the 11th day of June, 1819; Rasoxvito--That this Court have learned, with the deepest regret, that, after four years of profound peace, at a moment of general distress, when the Agricultural, Manufacturing, and Trading Interests, are labouring under the greatest pressure, it has not only been found necessary to appropriate a considerable part of the Sinking Fund to the service of the year, but that it is proposed to lay additional Taxes to the amount of 'three Mil lions per annum upon articles, most of which are of necessary consumption, which must bear with a ruinous effect upon the middle and labouring classes of the community, already borne down by the most grievous burthens, and offering the. greatest privations, through the general stagnation of Trade, and depria dation in the value of Property. " That this Court have on various occasions petitioned Parlia ment for an enquiry Into the National Finances, and for the adoption of a rigid system of Reformation and itetrenchment in the Public Expenditure, which the circumstances of the Country, after the unexam pled sacrilltes they have been called upon to make, have appeared imperiously to require. ." That it is with no less grief than astonishment that it has. ob served no effectual measures have been adopted to promote such objects, but that it should be proposed when there appeared to be Two Millions of surplus Revenue, so unnecessarily to add to their burthens, and consequently to increase their expenses.

FOR PRESERVING Aso BEAUTIFYING tut TEETH. TVEGETABLE TOOTH-POWDER has so 1. long been the appendage of every toilet of rank and fashion, thzt it is unnecessary_to offer any further recommendation of it. Being composed of Vegetaigk:s, and without the assistance of any mineral or pernicious ingredient whatever, it is free from the tstral ejections against the use of other Dentifrices. Its detersive rawer is just sufficient to annihilate those destructive and corm sling rankles which generally adhere to the Gums and in the in of the Teeth ; healing soreness in the former, and pro mo•ing a new enamel of pearly whiteness (where it has been in ;.red or corroded) on the latter. It likewise imparts a firmness Lad beautiful redness to the gums ; to the breath the most de- Itztable sweetness, and if used constantly, as directed, will pre serve Truth la a sound state even to old age.

Mr. CROKER Laid upon tife table certain Papers refating to the Navy, pursuant to the order of the House. Sir JOSEPH YORKE . took this opportunity of again calling the attention of the House to the claims df Mr. Seppinge. Ile referred to the Report of the Finance Committee, as mentioning the signal services rendered to his Country by . this moat able man. unfortunately ke bad not been in town at the fime the Navy Estimates were voted, or he should most unquestionably have mnved a were many instates of stub grants to persons who performed great services to the Country— as the case of Mr. Ilarrinth of the Treasury, who had got if 5,000, and Mr. Graham, the Police Mzglitrate. He trusted that the Chancellor of the Exchequer now heard him, and be mid tell that Right Honourable Gentleman, that if at the begiszling of the French Revdutior.ary war he bad had the benefit of the sm.- vices of such a man as Mr. Seppings,instead of having now to pro pose three millions of new Taxes, half the NatiOnal Debt might have been saved. In the time of Lord Mulgrave, 40 ships of war were built, at the rate of £60,000 each, in all about £2,400,000. Yet they were so badly built as to he known through the. Navy by the name of the Forty Thieves—(Laughter).—He Was resolved to bring forward the subject again and again, till this most able man was fully remunersted, and he would move for a Com mittee on the subject. Sir I. COFFIN bore testimony to the extraordinary merits of Mr. Seppings, but thought he had already been greatly re warded by promotion. CROKER dwelt very much on the merits of Mr. Sep- - pings ; his inventions were so full of genius, that if he had brought theM into the 'market and sold them, he might have realized a large fortune. He bad been promoted through vari ous offices to be one of the Surveyors of the Navy, which must certainly be considered as in some degree a remuneration for his services. His claims were now under the consideration of the Government, and ifthe Treasury should agree to grant him any sum, he had no doubt the House would make it good. Atter a few words from Mr. D. GILBIAT and Mr. N. CAL o emu, in praise of Mr. Seppings, the conversation dropped.

LAMB wished to know, with reference to the pro posed increase of the Duty on Tobacco, whether stocks in hand, previous to the 9th of June, would be liable to it? Mr. F. ROBINSON, in the absence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, said, he was not prepared to give an answer to this question. Mr. LUSHINGTON said, there could be no doubt that the new Duty would extend to stocks in hand. IRISH CLERKS OF THE PEACE. On the motion for the third reading of the Irish Clerks'of the Peace Bill, Lord CAR II ANI PTO'S opposed the Bill. He was convinced, that if the House allovied it to pass into a law, it would ocel sion an expense to the country of £50,000 per annum. He was lorry to Sod that it was supported by the Chief Secretary for Ireland. The proper title for the Bill would be:-." An Act to enable Clerks of th 4 Peace to rob the public, under the appa rent sanction of the law, and to screeti them in the commission otcrinits." Heirnoved as an amendment, that the Bill be read a third time this day six months. Mr. C. GRANT said, the Noble Lord who spoke last had mist:ken the Whole object of this Bill. That object was to make the office of Clerk of the Peale tenable, not during the pleasure of the Custos of the•Cuuiity, dui ing his good behaviour.-- As to the abuses now aliedged to exist in that office, the Bill did not meddle with them; and if the Noble Lord asked why it did not, the reason was this, that an inquiry was now gonig on, in the course of which an investigation into the alledged abuses would nece s sarily fall. Mr. CROKER said, the Noble Lord seemed to think that the Bill as it novi stood, conferred the office of Clerk of the Peace in Irchuid notwithstanding any malversation of whit they had alreadY been guilty. To prevent any doubt on this subject, he had prepared a clause, declaring that Clerks of the Peace should remain responsible for any misconduct previous to the time of passing this Act. Lord CA RIIA MpTON explained. Mr. L. FOSTER said it was a complete mistake to sai•pose that this Bill was intended to regulate the suffice of Clerk of the Peace. For his own part he was willing to confess that he believed some abuses did exist in that office, liable the Report of the Commissioners, wi inquire into those abuses, would be present then the Noble Lord would have au opporti Bill to prevent those abuses.—The Amen' deed without a division. The Bill was read a gird time, and ' up his Clause, which was agreed to, way of rider. Several verb-al Amtednients were ISatrso, whoac ifiie. Eut it was pre- neduty it w4s :o presented next Session, .ad opportunity of bringing in a Amendment was then nega. nd Mr. CROKER brovtill and added to the all by agreed to, after some short THE EX-KING OF SWEDEN. The following Letter, with the signature of Gus- TAVUS, the Ex-King of Sweden, has just been made public : 't Many Journals having inserted articles concerning Prince GustrAs ma of Gustavus Adolphus the Fourth (Gustafsson), fornikr Ki ng of Sweden, it is necessary to explain what has been said respecting this young Prince, and the Public ought no longer to be ignorant of all the unlawful and unjustifiable trans actions of the last three years. " It is time to make known that secret intrigues were em ployed to separate the Prince from his father, to whom be owes not only the attachment and respect that nature inspires us with for our parents, but moreover, a feeling of personal gratitude towards his father, who had made over to him a great part of the considerable property devolved on him from his mother of blessed memory, the defunct Queen of Sweden, and the remain der. of which he divided among his other chil dren. " Prime Gustavus's father, who g av e year 1812 was sepa rated trom the Queen, his Consort,e her, as the mother of his children, the most unequivocal proof of his confidence by trusting to her Majesty, not only the education of the Princesses, but that of Prince Gustavus also; however, under three condi Lions, viz. let, that their educatio n should be conformable to the religion in which they were born : 2d, to the rank they hold in the world ; and 3d, to the duties they may one day be called upon to fulfill. " The Queen afterwards received a new mark of confidence from her former Consort, by his giving up to her the administra tion of .she above-mentioned inheritance, relinquished in favour of his children, which was paid by the Swedish Gove r nm ent, and placed at the disposal of her Majesty. " but from that moment she seemed resolved to act abso latelfcontrary to the tenour of the conditions prescribed to her, exactly in the same manner as h er son, who a g reeabl y to such: was on his corning of age, (1. e.) at seventeen, to present himself to his father, and concert with him as to his future destiny, but refused so doing at the time, declaring himself incapable ; and rejecting the importunities of his father, kis friend and benefactor. " Instigated by his Royal Mother, hexsisted in disobeying the repeated orders of his Sire, alleging aa reason, that he had promised his .Mother, upon his honour, not to leave her until he had attained his twenty-first year—a singular example of a young Prince, who, refusing his majority, actsac with the disobedience that a son might more rtadily do if eof age. It would be revolting, and contrary to nature, to charge thii once so vir tuous and obedient a son entirely with such an offence—it would be even unjust to say, before it could be evidently proved, that the Queen Mother of this Prince had acted only from herself ; yet, it must be known, that she bestowed her confidence, and still more, committed the charge and education of her son, with which she alone was entrusted, into the hands of a Calvinist, of a Republican, and stranger; who, moreover, possesses no ac knowledged title that could distinguish or recommend him in any way for the sttuation of Prince Gustavus's Governor. " Let nobody allege the name of the famous Laharpe, on the side of that of the Emperor Alexander, to prove a paradox ; for Laharpe was but Alexander's teacher, and not his governor. Let ho one abuse any more the name of the Emperor Alexan der, by representing it in family dissensions, as it cannot appear consonant with the dignity thaa characterises a great Sovereign. " It has been said in the pzettes lately, that the Emperor of Russia bad appointed Prince Gustavus Governor of one of his - Provinces ; at another time, that he was going to England, with the Emperor's permission, to finish his studies, and to by al lowed by him 5E2,000 sterling for the expenses of his removal, which would indicate that the prince had not a sufficiency to provide for it himself. Let us, therefbre, put a stop to so many weakly grounded novelties, and endeavour, at least to develope the truth, and not believe it possible th at the Emperor Alexander would carry ffissimulatiin so far as not to give s any advice at all to Prin ce Gnstavits's Pantie' . of Ids good Ittetitions towards his sop, while be la in' ;Wind absictt far the tirmittatiliti of the mine sou's cifsobe4ionce.
