After some. months of a dillicult government,. (limas-us Adolphus saw the sacred oaths which unit. rd his army of Norway, broken.

But if the gold people of Sweden were net ito' qam,l in this great disaster, if they have depiqued the fall of t h eir King —if they every ditoffer vows that he may he restored to their leave, 'Art must we think of those conspicuous examples of tn. gratitude, who have propagated the tavolutionarr fl tme, who have only acquired rights to ihe confi dence of their ntaster, the more safely to betray him"? What must we think of that factions minority whiiTh, in the Assem!,ly of the States, pushed its audacity so far 7s to prnscrihe h;m, whom so many virtues rendered estimable, to disclaim as legitimate heir to the throne, :s yoting Pi ince born amongst them, and whom so many brilliant go tildes had already distin , guished ? We must say the unpunished assassins of Gustavus 111. are not, perhaps, absolutely mangers to the tail of Gustavus IV. and the accusation ut their conscience alone pro.luced in them the desire to expel from the palace of Stock!lolm the silent witness of their crime, the father of their country. Swedes arise ! boldly complain of your just afflie tion while it is yet time ; tear the act of abdication which grief wrung from the hands of your King, , pronounce the oath of a new alliance, and become again what :you were under a government essentially just and paternal. You do not, now will ever know all.the outrages which your King suffered in the Castles of I:rott ningholrn and Gripsholm ; there is a kind of torture for feeling minds above all human suffering : Selfves parre ani his dreadful agents knew all its theory ; and he who reioled over you twenty years, for your happiness, drank large di alights in the cup of grief. The germ of revolutions is amongst you ; a fortu nate soldier rep tses on the traces of the throne—once a declared enemy of all Sovereigns, he now aspires to reign; remember, that he cannot establish his rule amongst you, but in the midst of blond and ear nage, however moderate he may be ; the pride of your Barons can need' forget the obscurity of his birth; the Sovereigns of Europe will never bestow on him that degree of consideration which belongs by so many titles to your legitimate Kings. Europe will never lose the recollection that he was the apostle of dcmocratical pihiciples : Christianity will not be. lieve his oaths who made his faith bend belote the hope of possessing a throne. It is in vain that he has made himself illustrions by his sword; it is in vain that he triumphed your ranks; it is in vain that he has aggrandized your territory by treaties; the greater he is, the more mag nanimous he should shew himself; let him be the first captain of the armies of his legnemete Sovereien; kt him become the blood, the m.st zealous defender of Gustavus rtdoleheis, these will he rewards worthy of his anibitioe. but it resting his rights on the re of the miriority of the States, he consent to remain among ion the brand of civil discord ; it he aspire to seize the sceptre of the Vegas ; it he of his King even in his clearest affections ; if he pursue him in every place of refuge ; if he seize the goods which hive Wien to him by the death of his•august mother; it be pay foreign journalists to pqur on all his actions the poison of calumny; it he stifle the emulation of the young Prince Gustavus, at the mo. ment he springs forward intiv . public life, at the mo ment when he is about to prove that he is the descen dant of heroes, his conduct is atrocious, the impious . work of perfidious counsellors. Swedes, listen to the voice of honour; become .again in the eyes of all nations. what you were at the end of the last century; imitate the example 14 France. Ah—we also had seen the throne of the lilies overturned; we saw a sacrilegious hand laid on our Kings. We saw a Foreign barbarian establish ovi4 our tons a dreadful domination ; he hid also, this Foreigner, done Rte it things. He had decupled our territory ; he had sereof thriller) all the earth the glory of the French name. it instead ispiring to the first rank, be had shewn himself a taithful subject ; would nit mat be wandering over the face of the waves to seek an asylum, which might take him from the just fury of the people whom •iit has ravaged, ana the Sovereigns whom he has debased. lie has Callen—this proul ruler has fallen in an •ternal fall ; alasi the son of St. Louis at last comes to airy our tears, and heal the wounds of our hearts. May this memorable event open the eyes of Mar. shal B4rnadotte ! May it. stilling every sentiment ot ambition. prepare himself the restoration of the throne to his King ! At this price, lie will be great in all 40.—The justest rewards await him ; the most honourable titles will ennoble his house, and be per. petuated in his posterity. But if. on the contrary, a fatal blindness fix his steps between the capital and the Tarpeian rock. let him tremble ! The moment approaches when the cause of Gustavus Adolphuvis to triumph, ds that of the Bourbons in Sicily. In effect, can. the Allied Monarchs, after having adopted Me principle of Me kgitimity of Sovereigns, in the order or succession to tne throne, leave Marshal Bern.ielotte in Swe.ten ?—After having united their efforts by the must holy of crusades, to stifle the hydra of Revolutions, will they sutfer a new Revo lution to germinate in a corner of Europe ?

Mr. Kenny moved the thanks of the Court to the late Lord Mayor. Mr. A. Baoanve objected to a passige in the pro posed vote, with regard to the Corn Bill. He did not dis. pprove of the conduct of the late Lord M iyor in seconding the wishes of his fellow-citizens upon the occasion alluded to; but he thought the passage ex ceptionable, because it sanctioced a sentiment which experience hits! proved erroneous, namely. that the C bin Bill was cilculated to injure the intetest of our manutktuters. Mi. DIXON vindicated the word.: of the motion. Mr. WAITIIMAN followed on the same site, con tending that the'Corn Law was pecaliarly .objcction able, because it imposed an impolitic and unjust re striction upon trade; and time had shew•n, as it was argued at the period of its enactment, that it was use less to the agriculturists, whim it was propos.•d to serve, while it was founded upon a most pet nicious principle, which must ultimately prove injurious to the manufacturers. The moti.m was agreed to unanimously.—(See eldve►tistareat in the first page.) A piv,e eit S I guineas was unanimentsly voted t ,, the Rev. Samuel Birch, Chaplain to the lattt Lord Mayor, in testimony of the appinhati It of the Court. A letter from the Duke of Wellington, dated N.. vember 8, was read to the Clint; in Which his Grace stated, that, in co.llhh.nue.K•ith the reqii-si of the Court, be had had the words delivered filch were voted to Prince Blucher and General B irvla) de Tony, and that those voted to Prince Schwart zenberg and Hetman Platotf were about to he for warded.—The letter was ordered to be entered on the Journals. _ _ _ A Petition was presented from a Marshalman, stating, that in the year 1814, he had arrested .t Mr. Thomas Smith, on a warrant from Alderman S. ho ley, in consequence of the prosecution ot a hackney coachman ; but on the prisoner's being broul ! it up, the hackney-coachman deposed that lie civid hot swear to his identity ; thetefore the prisoner was dis charged, and be 'fraught an action against the peti tioner, upon which action a verdict of £2oi) da mages w.:s • found in the Court of King's Bench ; irons which damages, however, the plaintiff agreeii relieve the petitioner, provided the costs ot the act, ti were paid ; but petitioner being unable to psy !hos t costs, prayed the consideration of the.

Mr. MARNYATT proposed rather, that the Report should, be agreed to, in order to get lid of the subject at once. As a member of the Committee, and AS a friend to the Corporation, he was anxious to prefer this course.—. 4 We," said he, 4 , have had several pleasant Convivial meetinp,s upon this subject, and I am desirous that our harmony shall not be disturbed by angry discussions, upon a point in which we have none our duty, by maintaining the dignity of the City of London, in giving a suitable entertain ment to some of the most distinguished individuals ia the country, who did us the honour of a visit, to witness a testimony of our respect to our most gra cious Sovereign."

(Hear, hear.)--3ut the question was, whether any individuals whatever should be entertained at the expense of the City, contrary to a standing order of that Court t The Committee, at which the Hon. Alderman presided, was appointed for a specific par. pose, without authority or allowance :o spend any na4t.,:y whatever but for that purpose.
