THE KING'S STATUE. Sir Wii.u . ast CURTIS rose to address the Court, tutu question of privilege. He observed, that he was int' irmed, on his return frain a foreign excursion, inat during his absence from this country, a Gftntle man if that Court (Mr. Waithman) had thought proper to make an observation respecting his con duct, as Chairman of the Committee appointed to surerintend the erection of the Statue of the King, v.thich reflected in the strongest manner on his cha racter, and which he felt it his duty, at the earliest opportunity, to answer. The observation to which his was made at a Court of Common Council, held on the 4th of September lag, and was publi,lied on the subsrqufmt day in the Public Payers. In substance, it imputed to hirn the fact of having invited his Majesty's Ministers, and •cer• tail' other illustrious persons, to a dinner, given on tlte opening of the King's Statue, in his own personal character, kat at the expense of the Corporation. ;Mr. WArrintax submitted, that, as there W4l a rnnion comiag before the Court upon this subject, it rould be more regular it the Worthy Baronet would rostpone his remarks till the question wgs properly b.Tore the Coui t. The Limo Mayon said, that he viewed the course taken by the Worthy B millet as arising on a ques tion of privilege, and in that light he considered his prilceeding perfectly correct. Sir 'Wm. CURTJS dec;artd, that justice to his own feelings demanded f him, in the most peremptory 2 - n.try:,:r, to contradict the assertion which ha:l been and publicly announced. DixoN said. he h ut frequently read the Public it:t.., but he could nor say he had seen any speech, rep:rt.; t !live .Delivered in that Court, in the re! jo s the Hon. Baronet had quoted. W.i LTI:M N WaS quite cot.tiJent he had never sc.i!:,•lt :Ile words iasintiated to bare been used by I nn,• ctiu.aiiy confident such words bad suit .I:tribiltvd to I.'rn in IL! Public Prints. Ct.:u Is held the P -11),:r in his hand to mh:di dc:v..ited. M:- to, , :,ested the propriety of the Report r..ad, in 01..itr the. Mr. Waithrnan might either avow it or disavow it, as u nth might &mind. Tne Paper was then reduced, and the piircicular Itt.;:ott an,led L., read. T!,roughout the whole of this, however, there w.is nn direct insinuation -As tbat d. szi ihzo. by the Worthy Baronet. Mr. WArm:as said he was ready to avow the 'hole of the Itervirt in question as correct. Sir Wm. CuuTts repeated, that he had been infor. rn.d tlin the lion. Geutleman who had just spoken bad accused him of inficing persons, in his own pri vate clin.icier, to a dinner at the City expense; and this asseition he begged to characterize as wholly wilout lotindAtion. _ _ _ ... 'nil Lorin Mayor , . now declared, that he conside red the explanation made by the Worthy Baronet had gone as far as the question of privilege required ; he thought, therefore, that the regular business of the Court slearld proceed. IVAITI1111:01 then rose, in pursuance of his no. f , 7e, to move that the Report of the Committee ap. ru•ated to superintend the erection of the King's &ante, and which had been agreed to by the Court. eon;riry to the standing order, which re qu'red notice to be given of the production of all Reports respecting the ehsbursernent of the public rnore,y should be again referred back to the said Committee, in order that they might state the par ticular items of the charges contained in the said Report. He desired to repeat what he had urged on a iormer occasion when this question was before the Court, namely, that the first idea of the erec ti:i if the Statue of the King arose Out of the introduction of a person who proposed to execute a bust of his Majesty for one hundred guineas.— lc Vas afterwards proposed that this bust should be a complete statue, and an understanding went forth that t!,e cxpense would be very little more. A Committee was then appointed to superintend the business, the statue was erected and opened, and t k ! Committee made the, report of their expenses. To his astonishment, however, instead of those ex rnses It•tug hut little more than one hundred gui reas, they actually exceeded four thousand itouads.— er.oi:notis an Lxpenditure, after the feeling which had zentaally entertained, naturally demanded' invesogat.on ; and with the view of obtaining infer snati-al upon the subject, he had made a'motion fur the troducteai of the accounts of the Committee.— motion was unanimously approved, • and the Reirre was produced. This document, however, in to .d ot being lolly explanatory, ,left him still in kiJik as to the items of which a very considerable cs.arge was composed—he alluded to a charge ot .43j0 for the expenses of the Committee during their soperintendaece, and hence it was that he had flow again to move for referring back this account to the Committee, in order that they might fully explain the component pArts of this item. He had heard that no less earn del;TO of this sum was extended in a stogie dinner eiveo to certain illustrious persons, at the opining wf the statue. What he wished to ascer t s n was, • whether tltjs was a Corporation dinner or it %%as a Cuiporation dinner, be thought the 1 Luiporation ought to have been cotirlted.—(!iene.) But n it was a dinner given by the Committee, or, wnat wait worse, by thtir Chairman, without their . ire , oference, it S :i s matter which demanded the vrieus consideration of the Cons It might, to be fare, be Seid l Thar the worthy C..a man was an ex tellent judge of hulk soup, and was therefore tit , rts.t.st proper porsan to-whom to intrust with uhf bug-1 ••• - • gees. Be this as it might, he considered it but proper that the saddle should be put upon the right horse, lin order that the question might be fairly argued.. For his own part, he knew of no right or privilege which could attach.to one individua l of the Corpora tion more than another ; and why one man, or one set of men, should assume such a right, he was at a loss to imagine. lie did hope that t he Hong Baronet would have profited by past experience, and when he recellecte.d the difficulties he had to encounter in ob tabling the payment of the expenses of his own May oralty, and in particular the erection of a dancing room, which cost X5OO, that he would rather have advised the Committee to abstain from unnecessary expense, than to rush blindly into it. Mr.Waitliman concluded by moving—That the Report should be ilferred back to the Committee. Sir WIL : LIANI CURTIS had no objection whatever to the Report being referred back to the Committee ; on the contrary, he. was most willing, and he was satisfiNi every Member of die Court felt with hint, to give every information which the Court could require. Before he proceeded further, he would take the liberty of reading one of the cards of invitation which was issued to the guests who were present at the dinner alluded to. The card was to the effect following : a. William Cnril4, and the .rest of the Gentlemen of a Committee of the Utaporation of London, retitled the honour of Lord Liverpool's conti.:my :tr the ormitt.., Statue of his Maietty, In the Common i'coitieil Ch:inther, and aftererauls to :tont his Royal ituke u: York, and other illusttious cluracters, at tke Lordoq Tavern, at dinner. " The favour of your Lintlahip'i answer to the City Reiman brancer is requested" —After this he wonld ask, if he had taken upon himself the duties of the Corpor ttion improperly ? Upon such au occasion as the opening of the King's statue, he thought the reputation of the City of Lon don demanded the course wlkli the Committee col lectively had taken ; and in suppoititig the dignity of the City, he was sure there was not a Member of that Court who wo:ild say that they had acted with impiopriety. He did not expect, upon this occasion, that the Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Waitirman) would have ripped up an old story, which had its founda tion so far back as 17:15; but lest this might be mis understood, he would state how the fact really stood. When he was chosen to the office of Mayor, on en tering the Mansion-house he found it more uncom fortable and more unelioleseme than one 01 his own pig stset.—(Laughter.)—ln consequence, lrc found it necessary to make certain improvements, which were absolutely essential to did comfort of the Lord Mayor, and the benefits of which had since been ex perienced by the Corporation. He admi(tecl that he was fond of good living, and of suppoiting a charac ter for hospitality ; and • there were Gentlemen not far distant who hail partaken of his munificence. It was ton bad, he thou3lit, that those who had shared in his munificence, and drank his wine, should after wards abuse him.—(Laesktir.) Mr. liana, as cull! 01 the Committee, elipre•ncel his readiuess to give every infurniation avhich the Court m•,( -'it requ.re. lie distinctly cleni.:d, tiowever, that thud-Worth) C!i,irrnan had :lewd in any resveet Isepar4te from the Cmiiiiittee. They had ail acted together, and were all equally culpable, fault had been comrnitte.l. There had been dinixts given at the opening of 4:4e status of Lord Ne',son and Mr. Pitt, and be thought that at the open asis of the statue of his Mxjesty, a similar course was Institi.tble. After some farther remarks from Mt. HEARN, Mr. WHITE, and Alderman HETGATE, .the motion was agreed to. BRUaSiL3 PAPA 4S.

PARIS, sittil . E7. - I!Wu s6.—(From A I.FTT[R.) • U At Paris one cabal has get the upper hand of another; in the Provinces the parties murder each ,other. Civil war begins under tl►e very eyes of the foreign armies, and thus France, in niad infatuation, hastens to its ruin. When e•ne behilds in the Mu seum the• bare walk, the empty pedestals, and an Italian smiling upon the Eliglish soldiers who guard his recovered treasures (I:ie Venus, the Ap , llo, the pictures of Rapped and Titian) one fairies one's self in the Ir.use of a mail just deceased, only one is at a loss t' judge Itenn the haste a the Allies, ther they are :►ed;tors i . r heirs."

The next day we read in the French papers, that Prussian Officers had commenced a dispute with a French bourgeois, and that at last Russian soldiers had reacted order. (There were no Russians in the city.) Thus they vent their rage against the Prussians, because they touch this v.on people to the quick, or oppose them with dignity, white they seek to gain more and more the favour tat ti.e Russians by the most absurd lies." C.IPIWIN WRIGII7I LIEGE, OCTOBER I.—The Gazette of this town contains the following letter : 4 4 I have read in the General Gazette of the Ne therlands, an article from the Ghent Journal concern ing the unfortunate Captain Wright, the aulor of which is greatly deceived as to the facts. I was a prisoner in the Temple when this political murder war COMM itted, and the following are the correct ClieUTOStatiCcS " On the evening .preceding the day before that on which the Captain was murdered, Savary, Napoleon's first Aid-de-Camp, and surnamed his right hand, came with some gendarmes to make a rigorous in. spection of that ten ible prison, of which he had the special superintendence, even independent of the Mi nister—' Retire to your apartment,' was the order given to the prisoners on Savary's arrival. Captain Wright's room was searched ors .i. well as the rest. The object of the examination was to discover some pre tended correspondence with England, which however was not found. " Next day there was a new search, by three agents ut t'..:e Police, escorted by two gendarmes, but merely in Captain ‘Vriglit's room. This proceeding' had doubtless very much irritated that brave officer, ter we hem d him uttering imprecations against Bona parte and the savage tyranny of his Police. Towards midnight Ow ruffians cut his throat with a T . /WT.- 111 j were believed to be the same persons who strangled l'i,;!kegt . ..t. " HLNOUL, Advocate. " P.

A young reran of Bremen, who was passenger on hoard ut the Danish vessel commanded by Captain Maas, which sailed from Haniburgh in April this year, and was taken by the Tripol:nes, gives the fol lowing account of this event, in a letter from Malta, of duty '22 : 44 Un the 20th of May we had the misfortune to fall into the hands of the Moors off Lisbon. They treated us with a cruelty which will hardly be cre dited by such as have never been in such a situation. The day of our arrival at Tripoli we were led before the Paella : I told him I was a Dane, because I know that the. Turks consider the Hanseatic cities as their enemies. This untruth availed nothing, for the Captain of the Turkish Irigate, a renegado, assured the Pacha I was from Brenien. This man seized my trunks the dio , I tame on board his vessel, and had probably read my passports. From the palace I was immediately led to prison. The next day I was set Ito work with the other slaves. The English Vice- Consul interfered in my favour, affirming that Bre men was tinder the special protection of his Govern ment. To give effect to this remonstrance, it was' necessary to make the First Minister of the Pacha a present of a diamond ring of the value of 140 Spanish piastres. My clothes, money, and letters, fell into the hands of the Turkish Captain, who kept them as lawful prizes, so that I have nothing left but what I have about mc." The reason that the Danish ships a►e captured is, a Taat the Danes had indeed paid the usual present, at the proper time, but omitted to pay an additional sum customary on the renewal Of peace." Our Readers will doubtless share our wish that the puaeilul States would at length put an end to these excesses. It is a disgrace for Germany, that its 11 ig is insulted with impunity by these barbarians, and that its clad commercial cities are excluded from the navigation of the Mediterranean. Our own com mon interests should make us oppose this injustice, for though we do not directly pay tribute, we are sub ject to it indirectly if we must trade in the Mediterra nean under a foreign flag. To suppose that England, great and powerful as sire is, should env* or impede us in the assertion of our natural rights is ridiculous. 'lie British Ministers, tliouJi they may aim, as they are said to do, at a certain commercial monopoly, are t.ar enlightened to sink the good of their country by such wicked means.—(Brown Gazes g, October 6.)

PARIS, OCTOBLII. 8. The most fortunate periods of the monarchy en, - beheld a more magnificent and more interii k ! gr . cortise than that with which the King was attended yesterday in his progress from the Palace ot the Thuilleries to that of the Legislative Body . r • .very Frenchman felt with pride that the Majesty ot the Throne, eclipsed for a moment, was on this oecasiri l to be displayed with all its splendour to the ey es a attentive Europe. By niue o'clock many persons of distinction, L 4 d: remarkable for their elegance and shining in lustre of youth and beauty, had successively pied all the seats around the hall and near the doors. The galleries, which are usually npcn tor the public, were filled in a moment, and in the ness to obtain places-even Ildies were seen feariA"..l- • passing along the c nice of the colonnade, to get from one ar to another. The King of P ia came in about I I CelGcli. and took an obscure scat in the extre mit y 111 tale t.pvt; gallet y, on the left of the Throne. HisMajcoy neither uniform nor decoiatirm, and was ic.cotapar,:Ni by only two or three Prussian officers. Seventeen carriages, with eight beers to eat'.. twelve of them in the livery of the King, and Cy,. that of the Princes, first attracted the ate neople, on account of their elegance and : 7 ,. n ,t er , t flicir eyes were no less dazzled on stir , , T be liant companies of body guards, rnitsket , r.t horse, pens-d'armes, &c. who preceded and foiluW.:' these carriages. Nearly 8,000 men of the National Ginti.! wne foot. Their tine appearance, the peel:ion of t h e ,, march, and of their mance lyres. produced epw 1, 4 ic i gners an ili us ian in which we readily pal ttei ; ,.a( ourselves, by taking them for truops ut the ELI:, iu tae hignest state of diwipline. On the King coming not of th: ba ll iti h t l , l . l::: carriage, in which were likewise the the.. h aiLes u , his family, the cannon were Cued fired on his retiring !torn the Legisl qty.: 'Lily, ati on his re-entry into his palace. Artilleri,lL Old Guard, destined to form a part of tr:e I;Jyli guard, served the guns which announced i to pawl the most august of all ceremonies. But how is it tiosaible to describe the universal et. joisiassn, the beautiful view which the amphithAto. lot mad by the baunlities ot the Palais Bout bun, pre sensed,—the unanimous and lengthened acelarnati i. which burst forth the instant the King's c:attage descried. The shouts el joy came from cite h e . ir :,_ Aa.hearts were united as one. The vows made ti Heaven, the hats, the handkerchiefs waved by som the caps of the grmadiers of the Naticoal Guar: hoisted upon their bayonets,—all WAS employed t: express oar sentiments, and every obj Let puiiessed peculiar eloquence. When it was supp sed, that the King had eaten: the Hall, and that lie was in ch.! act of add:es,i:!: the kiipresentatives of the Nation, an affecting; devout emotion pervaded the minds of all. When carriage re-appeared, the transports of public were ted.itthled.
