OCT. 1. a race of blood-licktrs and muck-worms, who professed them e :es In support every -succeeding Administration, but in whom no Admint , tra: toil could place dependance. These men always ap :eared in support of any Ile w war, or loan, orjoh, in which tney could have any interest." After a variety of other obser vations, he concluded by moving ttu Ameudmora to the origi nal Motion fax agreeing to the Report. Toe object of the Amendment ,was to substitute a statement, " that the (Air knew how to distinguish between the ben, acent intentions of his Majesty, and the profligate and wicked system of his advisers: Ind that in the pre eat calamitous situotiou of affair.;, it was not adviseable to appoint a day of rejoicing." Mr. Hearn defendeti himself from the allusions which were .made to him ; but descent.'og into personalities,he was collected by the Loyd Mayor. Mr. Mawman did not wish to find fault with any report which any Committee of that Court might think proper to present. In Atte present it's ance, however, he was encouraged by the exam ple of the Committee themselves, many of whom had signed their names, and yet had afieroards retracted their agreement. As far as he could judge ,from such a report, he did not thin:: the .day wag sufficiently respected ; he had thought it was to be celettrated ity a ,oust, and was surprised at finding this was not the case ; he d:d not consider an Address on such an occasion etiffici t 4 ; and be bad A plum to propose, which, he hoped, would meet the satisfaction of all patties. He wished to propose, that the Lord Mayor should be requested to lend the Corporation the Egyptian Hall, and that they should dine ttgether at their own individual expence.— This, he calculated, would be at the rate of a guinea and a half per man, and could not in the whole amount to more than one thousand priunds. Surely such a trifle as this could not he re garded by so: h a Corro:ation as the City of London. Many Members had objected to the celebration of a Jubilee on account of the dejected siate of the country, but he would ask what cause these was for such dejection ? When were our roads, our inclosures, our apiculture. our navy, or our 'commerce, In more prosperous con:.ltion ? In fact, they never were so floe rishing. The present Kits; ought to be respected by all ranks of his subjects ; he hal reined for fifty years over a contented people, ruling them by the laws, And under the guidance of our blessed Constitution. . Mr. Dixon hoped the Court might continue full to the con clusiou of the tfrbate. lie hoped also, that Members would at tend more exactly to the .question iN debate: for in his opinion, many had de:iated widely from it. He had heard Members deny any cause of congratulation on the present occasion; but for his part, he thought there was abundant. Alderman Goo.lbebere thought the questions between the Go vernment :old the people might to Ile completely separated. The ap.riculture and its benefits ought to he attributed solely to the people; the evils arising from a vilely conducted war entirely to the Government. He would ask, was it for a double national debt, a dototte ioemne tax, a devastating war, a loss of our A inerican dominious, and ail the ruinous consequences of a mi.- takenpol icy, that oe were about to return thanks? Mr. Deputy Kembir spoke in favour of the Report. . _ Mr. Clarke thnught the, hief object of the CoMmittee was to cowgratulate the Sovereign on his long reign, nod not tit all to advert to the measures of Administration—us a Member of the Committee, this was his opinion. Mr. Wailliman justified his conduct in not opposing in the Committee those principles which he now condermi«l; he saw how vain such au opposition would prove iu a Committee so colotitntio Ai r. Griffiths d-fended the Committee. The first add - second Resolutions were then put and carried. Up the I•aittl Resolution, concerniug the illutnination, being prop: ed, Mr. ....table said, he hoped ohlv the public buildings should be ilkiminved, as the lighting up of private houses might cause much diet rbance CIF. Miller said, the whole question concerning the illomina tion, reminded him of an old pantomime called Harlequin Touch 'tone; Walt quia, by virtue of his touchstone, could make any peron.w Ivan he chose tell the truth : coo:414 one night to Paris in a rejoicing, he asked ;t Parisian what illunkin•tion was for. Tilt. Parisian wai just about to rivivoca:e, n hen Harle quin aPplied toour:astun.•, and he Was told the illumination was el tended to keep the prol►le in the dark.—(A laugh, and loud apv!rt , i4e. ) 00 toe,4th aPIOIIIIIOII, alb to the dinner, briny pot, Mr: Isiawsuau moved au amendment, propoviog 3 dinner. Nlr. Marryot folly agreed in the amendment, and said, that on the recovery of the King, in 1789, the common Council %I CIO to ellUreti, non, still better. dined together afterwards—it would be dreadful to go u jib an empty stomach into a cursed cold hurch.—(A general laugh.) Mr. Dhon said, he looked into a dictionary for the meaning of the word " Jubilee," and found it meant an hearty and terms feast.-,-(A laugh. ) Sir John Earner desired to hear if there ever was a precedent of the Corporation's dining at their individual expence. The Clerk knew of no Audi precedent. Mr. Maw man said, as that was the case, he was content to .iine at the ex pence of the Corporation.—( A laugh.) After a few words from Mr. Vandercomb, we understand the amended Retolutiou for a dinner was carried by a majority of t ent) -five. The Court then divided on a motion that the expence of the Amer should be defrayed by the Members individually. The numbers were : Ayes • 4t Noes - 47 Majority against each Member paying his own expellees-1i THE NATIONAL REGISTER. LORD MAYOR ELECT.
