After the petitions from the Wards of Cripplegate hail been read, the Loan 1114loa rose and stated, that in discnssing the important question, which would be their next considrr.►tion, he hoped that the Court would preserve that dignity and good order which b 1.1 ever distinguished them as a public body.— (I lear, heat !) Mr. Sheriff Warring next rose. Since he had been elevated to the situation of Alderman, he had always endeavoured not to bring firward any prod is sition of a roblic naturr, fmsling that questions of great public interest would best proceed from the Repre sentatives of the Citizens of London. On the present question he owned he felt great anxiety to state his views as early as possible, and to etolearonr to draw the attention of the Court to the precise objects which j they had to consider. The right of petitioning was! the most important right that the subject possessed ; when any great public wrong was cos ttttt ittesl, it en::- bled the people to undeceive the Mone , .it, and to in form him of the actual situation of pudic affairs. in order that he might be enabled to remedy public grievances. It was the first right asserted after the Itevointive that right was suppressed in the time of Charles the Second, when the charter of that corpora tion had been seised for this sole reason, that the ',oration petitioned for a meeting of Pariiament to re dress the public grievances. Its suppression was fatal to the Family of the Stuarts.—(clear, Imear . .)-11ad the unfortunate and besotted James the advantage of hearing the rs presentations of his people, be might have retained the Comma and. the amp witioir (Atm.. ed might have been rendered unnecessary. lie knew there were some individuals who would say that by addressing the Throne they would insult the Kin!, became they windsl be obliged to state that which would he offensive to the King. If this were the ease then, the Corporation of.Lonsion never could petition the Crown fur the removal of public grievances; they would merely have the power of addressing the Antis's). rities of the State in a complimentary way. lie could meats no offence to his 3lajesty in exercising the right of pillion ; on the present occasion they would prove themselves the friends of the Constitution and of the Monarelly----(11ear:).-So far from any inyteation resting on Isis Majesty fir the acts %militia had recently taken place, and which had roused the indignation of the couitry, it was. impossible that the King could have kwovu of those cire helices, or could have been informed of the true state of the feelings of his people. If Ise were, the Ministers could not Is;:ve held their places fur a single hour---(tiear, His Majesty could only know the trite state of public affairs limn the representations of Isis people, fur those who surrounded the throne would not speak the troth. It was not necessary fur him to enlarge on the c in duct of his Majesty's Ministers; that had been fre quently made the subject of public animadversion. The Court had frequently petitioned the Throne and the other branches of the Legislature, conylaining of the conduct of those Ministers, and praying their dis missal. He would, therefore, briefly state time pr oni ons po' - .ts of their misconduct and incapacity. After the termination of the war, the country was led to ex pect that Government would turn the attention to the situation of affairs at home. They were led to expect that they mould receive some relief from the severe pressure of taxation; they expected some alleviation of the public burthens ; they expected that Ministers would have brought forward souse plan to prinun l te the interests of agriculture, sonic measures for the tensor-al of public grievances, and the r' formation, of public abuses.—(Hear, hear!) —glut no efforts, however, were male to lighten the taxes, or to remove time grievances of the people--on the contrary, every petition far Reform was indignantly rejected. Minister s t instead of bringing in any healing measure, follow.Aa system. of coercion. They strained the exis•ing laws, and they introduced new•laws militating against the prin ciples of a free constitution- -(Nver, hear!)--They 113%V a military power established in tissue of peace, to overawe the people—(hear, hear:)---whilst their fir reign affairs were conducted .with a degree of weak. ness which renders I this country contemptible in the eyes of Europe. The just expectations of the people on the continent were disappointed, and the Ministers of England were found to aid foreign despots in rivet ting chains on their subjects. Even midi respect to the struggles in South America, they saw Ministers, in the face of petitions, proseatal front rations parts of the country, introducing measures to cripple the intercourse between England and that country. la fact, there appeared throughout all their proceedings, a degree of jealousy against any thing like public li berty. Their efforts, however, with respect to fontign countries, proved quite abortive. Spelt'', Napier, and Pertsgal shook elf the odious yoke of slavery ; but whilsithey asserted theii eights, they took no revenge on individual.. They viewed with a lenient eye the conduct of their Sovereigns, wisely and humanely int patine bad measures to bad advisers--(Hear, hear!) Important revolutions hail taken place in those coun tries; but if the people possessed the right of pe titioning the Throne, similar results would taken place in a manner Icss violeilt.----(llear, hear, hear !) Witil respect to our domestic affairs, Ministers had •hewn i degree of wantonness and incapacity which sheered that they were unable to wield the tiovernment of thii com.try. Those reasons were of themselves quite Sufficient to induce that Court to address his Ma jesty tor their dismissal. But recent circumstances 1 bpd ered it impossible for any individual attached Id -to t Cuatitntion of his country not to view their eons/{ With abhorrence.

He would have seen the utmost good humour and good feeling prevail amongst the immense und titade, who were assembled, though not I single soldier was seen in the streets of Loudon (hear, bear!). i his scene, which was in every respect so gratifying and so honourable to the pe.tple, would have emvinced his Majesty that the people of England were a think ing and eenerinis people--that they had read and un derstood the whole of the late proceedingsagainst her :Majesty—that they were wise as well as generous— that they were determined at all hararils to stand forward in defence of the Constitution— acel that they were determined to stand forward and defend an' injured woman against the foul and unmanly attacks of tyranny and oppression ----(11?ar, hear!). Military assistance, indeed, was pressed upan the Lord Mayor (hear, bear!). his lordship true to his principles, dee!ined that aid (hear, hear!); and the event proved that the aid of the soldiery was not wanted--(hear, hear:!). If the authority of Ministers was so weak that they could no longer rely on public opinion, the only source of legitimate power, why did they remain in their places (Hear, hear!) When a Ministry, whether good or bail, ceased to rely on public opinion, they wete no longer fit to remain at the head of the Eng lish Ouvernnient (hear, hear). But it was impossible that any Ministry could goon who did nut rely on the enlightened opinion of the people—to protect the me tropolis--to protect the King--to protect the Queen? SO. Soldiers were offered to protect the Ministry (bear') If there were a change of Administration, they would hear nothing of a standing army.

They would 'cress a ound him with their accustomed ardour anal generosity If his Majesty would but disavow the late uroreedings 1 if he would but dismiss the promotes" of those Ines:ores from his Councils, the tide would flow in soother direction, and his Majesty, instead of being beset by the remonstrance of his people, would be surrounded with addresses of congratula tion—(hear, hear!) He was glad to see that the Lord Mayor had rejected the advice of the Seven Wise Men—(Hear, tear, and laughter')—the seven sipient men of the City—(continued laughter!), who advised the introduction of the soldiery. They would have willingly taken upon them the Govern ment of the City in his Lordship's absence, and they would have introduced the soldiers. Had the rest coats been introduced, it wonld, so doubt, have tensed mach irritative, seri to a moral certainty, they would have seen meted in the streets of London, the tnelani choly tragedy whisk bad beets formerly acted in the streets of 31aschessar---(Hear, beer!) He believed. in Ito IN crii PRICE SEVEN Prver his conseience, that the present Ministers had don e more to sithlert the tiovernment, and overturn the Constitution, than all the efforts of the Radicals, th e rabble, or by wit never other nick-name the people may be called. They had, in fact, brought the coCin try into a state of terror and misery ; they had reduced it to such a state, that if it were not for the good sense of the people, the Government could hat have stood for half an hour—(Hcar !) They were fearful not of a revolution, hnt of the destruction of their ow•n authority. Noshing gratified them more than some public disturbance, which gave a pretense fur the introdut'tiou of military aid, for new and coercive acts against the remaining rights and liberties of ,ae people—(llcar.) The people of England were an en lightened people; they saw revolutions take place in other countries, but they saw that those countries had no constitution, no filed principles to alipeal to, no hope to rely on. But as Lord Camden observed, " The centre and foundation of the Constitution of Nergland is liberty"--(Cheers). The people, there fore, did not look fur revolition, tbey ineet4y Intijrd for a reform of public abuses—Om., hear). Tl n saw to what a state things were brought, and that it was impossible to go on any longer iu the same mine. "We have come," said lie, " to that point whirls, renders either revolution or :unitary tioveinnient in- evitsble." We h►ve no choice, if Ministers go on in the same course.

'the turner is impossible. The people of England would not en dure a military despotistes—no, not for a single hour-- (Cheers) ; but even if Ministers could effect this alto minable object, it would not avail them, it would truly hasten their destrnction.

I hope that those individuals who have so long trifled with the rights and the feeiings of the people of England, trill be soon striven, dis graced and tlislomoured, fiom their seats."—(ilear, hear). The worthy Sheriff concluded by moving a Resolution, " That the . present Minim, rs were uo longer worthy of their situations." Mr. TA %LOA rose to second the Resolution. lle said. th:et after the ahle view of the subject taken by the Worthy Sherif, he felt it unnecessary to trouble the Conrt at auy length. He would, therefore, tine himself to the simple expression of his own op - nion. With regard to foreign policy Ministers 11.4 betrayed the confide:lre reposed in them by the coun try ; though the otapenly joined the Holy Al nee,"tise Uteri's- entstanee. At home they kept up a l Sillitaug Army to awe the people, they refused to reform pnblic abuses ; was it to he supposed that the people of this country verse dis..f fected and discontented withmt cause ? To suppose so would be a libel on the country ; that discontent may be traced to the neiscondut.t of their rulers. 3li filters had no settled principle, but to keep their places; they differed on all polnts, save that of keep ing their places end oppressing the people. Their system, in fact, was a system of corruption ; for his own part, he could no longer subscribe to te.e asser tion, that the administration of justice was pure anl unsuspected. When he saw a report of the Oldham mines% the severe sentences that had lately been passed—A:he packing of juries—the laying of venues in counties where verdicts were expected to be ob tained from compliant juries ; when be considered ail those things he could nut boast, that the administia tion of justice in this country was pure and unsus pected. As to the nruccestings sgainst the Queen, they were inc•nuratitile with the notion of heredituy government and hereditary rank. If the conduit of every member of the Royal Family was to be brought into question, and to be enthjeet to every Indecent in quiry, Kingly Government could not exist; it would' be soon degraded ; for few could paw through t..e ordeal through which her Majesty had so tr.omphantly passed—(Chezu-s).—The tine of Government wog d be occupied, not in promoting the good of the co-:n try, but in listening to the s7andalous falselio.els of bribed wi.nesses preferred against the Queen, possli.ly against the King—Lgaiett Peers and Peeresses, its fact, against every person of distinction in the you hear)!—These persons were dragctil :a the liar, charged with in •ral, rot with legal offences. The Government would be despised, the country would be demoralised. Such, however, was the pre cedent which Ministers attempted to establish; they haul brought much misfortune upon the country; they had disgraced the King; they lead degraded tke Peer age; they haul insulted the representatives of the pen yle--(Cheers.)--Their administration was, in (..ct, nothing but a system of usahadessinistration. Discon tent and misfortune followed close upon their NIC-l• sures ; they were hateful to the country, and he there fore willingly seconded the Resolution for their dis missal. Mr. Alderman C. SMITH said lie had one objection to the Address, namely, that it did out go the len t ils he wished.—(Near, hear.)--Ministers certainly de served the censure of the public. If they had pro perly discharged their slaty, the r.sult would have heen,rery different. Re bad no objection to vote for the diswizsal of Ministers, but tr hat was to be done, suppose Ministers were dismissed ? Goserninent could not stand still; other men should be appointed. He would therefore suggest, that a list of the public men who were worthy of filling their places shoo! I be annexed to the Address.--(llear ! avid a langh.)— tit would Dot vote fur half measures—be would he for annexing such a list to the Address, btkause other men might be appointed who would be equally ob. 'noxious.- The Worthy Alderman coneleded by pro `,fusing bia. devotion and unalterable attachment to !Of person of his Majesty. 4 J• • . ~*'. 7 : r.
