The Aldermanhad affected to en.• ewer a statement ef. what he-(Mr. Pmrson) was sup.. 'posed to have said at some other Meeting, where** Alderman was not pres7nt ; bat left unansiverest queitien which he (Mr. Pearson) had then put ro hint to his face. He (Mr. Pearson) had never said that ,the Alderman went to the meeting in question " mused up;" but that he went to meet c.‘ the mys lerious stranger, who was -moiled np in a' great coat," Br.c. and for the.truth of this, he had, to •be sure, no other guarantee than the Alderman's word I (Hear, bear).-lEint he (Mr: Pearson).again repeated the question, Witat.has the.worthy Alderman done with the plaeards and hanthibilis, about which, at the time, .he. made so muchnoise, arid which have new disappetwed from the Mansionwhouse? Alderman ATr,tas shortly replied, - that a great itiany of thehandrlidin be certainly poeseesell, and also much information upon the subject. The state, meats which he had made et the time, relating to the plot against the City and its inhabitants, had b enverified by the end of Thistlewo o d an d his coMpaniotte r 4Hear, hear! and a lairei). The Loan idAYOR observed, that the present dis, cussion bad perhaps taken a wider range than -it • ought to have done; and he trusted Gentlemen would abstain from all personal observations. Mr. PEARSON said, the worthy Alderman had cer, taialy contrived very dexterously to elude the ques tion which he had put to him, He had certainly stated, on a former occasion, that he had had an in, terview with a person muffled up in disguise. If the worthy Alderman could not tell from whence the hand-bills came, he could tell them, perhaps, whither they had gone. Mr. Alderman ATKINS said, that many respect able persons had come to him, under the influence of alarm, at the time of Thistlewood's plot ; but he never had an interview with a person in disguise. There was certainly an immense number of hand bills in his possession. Mr. 8, Dirozr supported the Amendment. The Answer was the most gracious Answer of their So vereign, and he could not regard it in any other light.. He-thought they would thew their good sense in not departing from the established custom, of entering the Answer of his Majesty upon their Jour, nals.—Mr. TAYLOR spoke for the original Motion. After a short reply from Mr..F.tvau., the Amend, ment was put, and lost by a great majority'. Sir C. HUNTER regretted that he had not entered the Court earlier, as it was his intention to have pro posed an Amendment. -He felt the highest esteem and gratitude for the first Lord of the Treasury, and, he entertained the greatest respect for - the rest of his Majesty's Ministers.- He thought, indeed, that thnse great mcn had erred in the late affair ; but it was not fit for this Court'to arrogate to itself the right of judging of their conduct, Mr.'Alderman BIRCH said it was his intention to propose an Amendment. Much had been said in the course of 'this discussion, of the insult offered by his Majesty's Ministers, but there had not been onit word or admission as to the insult offered by thezir selves to the person_of their Sovereign—( Load cries of Order! ordir) ! - Mr. Favat,t. rose to call the worthy Alderman to order.... Mr. Alderman Atkins rose at the same time, amid tumultuous cries of “Orderl" and Chair !" The Loan MAYOR said it was his anxious wish to give every Gentleman a Nil and fair hearing, but it was necessary to hear the arguments of Gentlemen, before he could decide upon a point of order..„ - Mr. Favau.• apprehended it was highly disorderly to call an Address which had been agreed to by thiS Court, and carried up to the foot of the Throne, an insnit'to the Sovereign. Mr. Sheriff WAIThMAV said, the worthy Alder, man was entirely out of order; No disrussion could take place. After reply had been made, and the - Amend: went dispoyed of, Mr. Alderman Bina; contended, that the Ameid meat having been negatived, and the original motion being the question now before the Court; he bad st right, in proposing an Amendment,. to take all the collateral circumstances into consideration- He sew peated, that no admission bad been made bY this Court as to the nature of .the Address.. They had no right to notice a 'domestic circumstance, with which this Court could have nothing to do—(Loasi cries of Orcler)! The LORD NIATOR thought, as the worthy Alder man was only expressing his own opinion, he Was at liberty to pursue this line of - observation. •Mr. Alderman Hilton continued. He did say that . this Court had offered an insult•to the person of the , Sovereign. They had interfered with the private affairs - Of the Sovereign on the Throne.in a way in which no individual in this conic %veld have dared to intirfere with regard to an equal. His only sari; prise was, - that the reply was so mild, and that it had not gone much further. On these grxninds he should move the previous question, - Mr. S. Dtiosr seconded the motion. Mr. PeA!tsoN-trusted the Court would not enter tain the Motion of the worthy Alderman - .-a Motion, he believed, perfectly unparalleled, s i nc e, it called ripen-them, in effect, to•talie no notice whatever of his Majesty's answer. He (Mr, Pearson) could never • consent to make himself a party to sach an insult upon his Majesty, . .

He (Mr. Pearson) had 'carefully read over the Address since these observations had been Journals on all Occasions. It was no want of respect to the Crown to express an opinion of the King's An- made, and he could not find one expression in the ewer. In a constitutional sense the King could do no Address, of which, both in matter and in language, wrong, and whatever censure the Court might feel' he did not most highly approve. The Address was s themselves called upon to pass, would apply, not to strong, ha granted ; and ought it not to be so ? The circumstances that called for that Address were ain-1 the King, but to his advisers.. The Petition did not contain a single sentiment which lie (Mr. Waithman) precedented. Fortunately for this country, a parallel was not ready to seal with his blood. He never re- to the multiplied and aggravated grievances of which the Address-complained, was riot to be found in its membered a Petition which had undergone so little annals. Would the Hon.

Mr. Pearson also carrying up what they termed Loyal Addresses ? remarked upon the observation of one of the speakers Every individual in this country, from the highest to on the floor of the Ceurt, who bad objected to the the lowest classes of the community, enjoyed the Address because it imputed to the Ministers conduct right of petitioning. • The meanest of his Majesty's intended to excite treason and sedition.

He (Mr. Pearson) contended, that were there not evidence to trace this home directly to to advise their Sovereign to insult even anindividual of this class.
