On Fr iday a Can't was held, iu einiseivienee of a Requisition, to catisaler the propriety it presenting an Address to tine King. ilium the pre sent silo:midi of Public Affairs, isidubly pi ay nig firs M:ijesty to dismiss from his presence and Co turns the present Ministers. The Requisition included hi. vet al other topics, the most remarkable was the folio% ing : " That the Representatives of the City lie instructed to oppose any giant of money toll of the CI List, whenever applied for ity Minsk's, until live Majesty is assigned a residence snitaule to her sank, and *hoe is given to her a recompt nee for past injuries, and Let name is restated to the Liturgy. The Loan Mitten: stated that the Court had waited upon the Queen with the address of Congratulation upon the defeat of her enemies, and received a most /parlous answer. The answer was then read by the Recorder, with great emphasis. It was ordered to be inserted on the Journals. While the Recorder was reading the answer, the whole Court rule, with tfurexception of Aldermen Leighton and Christopher Smirk, Mr. B.rch (brother to the man), and Mr. Cunt:ay. Mr. SAT %OE noticed the disrespect with w hick the Lord !tlayor was treated but his Lot iiship said, it was rut ells- Winery fur the Aide Mien upon all occasions of Ibis kind to Ilse. The Cripplegate Petition was presented. Mr. EICKE rave an historical ateeattt of Bill* , 'f and Premises, and repruletted the iliVaiLiblo you, r pur sued by elietisteis dies lug the Regency and the present reign. He concludes by inavnll,4, that the Petition for Cripplegate, which was against Minuet eis, seiould Le taken into euusiderat ion on the lies' (lay (donee:hug. After some discussion, the Petition was entered on the Minutes. The Lon n MAYOR then stated. that lie had received a Requisition from a numerous body of Members, calling upon him to call a Court for the purposes above men tioned. He had a hope that whatever warmth of feeling Might be exhibited germ the occasion, the Court would be unanimous in giving their support to him.—(Hear.) Alderman WAITIIMAN rose, and said, the tigett of tinning the Crown was in every view the most important both to the safety ut the Monarch and the people of any right possessed by the subisect, and lead not that Court been deprived of it in the reign of Charles tile Second, there could be vo doubt that by its constiteettoinal est r euse his metbrinuate successor would have been so truly informed of the sentiments and feelings of his people respecting the measures of his Got ere:client, as to avoid the catastrophe that din ived him of his Crown for ever. —The worthy Alderman peoceeded at ;peat length to eeternie the conduct of Ministers, partivulaily in the affairs of the Queen, and added, that he was persuaded that nothing could giatlty Nine esters more than a pretence to bring soldiers into London; they would then soot' find • pretext fur calling on Parliament to pass still severer laws to coerce the people, but all those evils might be prevented by exercising the right of petition, which Was perfectly consistent with the most elutiful and affectionate t'eelings towards his Majesty. The worthy Alderman con cluded by moving an Address, praying his Majesty to dismiss t'er ever 110 iii his Councils and presence the pre sent Ministers.--(Loud cries of Hear, lade.) Mr. TAY Lull secouded the motion. The Court were, he said, imperiously call.d upon to address the King upon this inotnenteme occasinn, and hunnely advise him to dismiss his Ministersultogether. Ile represented the fore:got policy of Ministers as extremely ohjeTteituable in every respect, uws lunch ail they had deserteri those who had been strenzgling ter the establishment of their own liberey, mid tondut ted - the whole system of military °verde eel's with the utmost extra qtagunce. Their domestic policy had no greater claim to the approbation of the people, whose petitions for retrenclimeut and economy were totally disregaided. Viewing the con duct of Ministers ill every point, lie could out help thinking that every act to winch they bad draws, the attention of the public, was marked with characters which could not be easily mistaken for beneficial. Aldermen' Cuaiseoeuett SMITH said, he had bnt one objeetiou to the ;'address; it add not go as tar as he wished it to go.—(Loud cries of hear, hear !) lie agreed with the wortby Sheriff, that they deserved the censure of the public fur their conduct in the late invftetigation ; but though he had done with Ministers, he had out done with the King— him he should slick to as long as he lived.—(Hear, hear!)--- But he would he glad to know what his Majesty was to do upon semen% oh' those Ministers. A set of men might be ap• pointed whose conduct mignt prove as objectionable as that of the present Ministers, and a hat nas then to be done Why, be would advise that the petition should be accompa nied by a lit of the most hunourahle and efficient charac ter is the nation.—(A laugh.)—lt the Colt adopted this plan be should support the motion—met otherwise, Mr. Jure was meter heartily for the Address. Mr. PATTKIf supported the motion. Mr. Baow re said, the country was certainly indebted to the vigour of the Conned, of Ministers for its pre-enneeinee overother natioin, hut their past auntie coeld not CLlille them to trifle with the dignity of the Crown, or the fishes of the people, and with that dignity and those lectures they certainly had te itlee. —( hirer, bear.)—lf the evidence adduced against her Nlajesty Imo been !X :Millie(' in the Old Bailey haute • speciaijury , it would be itupos,ible to ground a verdict of Guilty upon that evidence.

The Gen. Arismcadi Itulependent .priva teer had been taken possession of by a French brig of war, and ordered for Martinique. A requisition, signed by a great number of mos respectable inhabitants of the City of Cork, was presented a few days ago to the Sheriffs, to call a Nieeting to address the Queen on the termination of the proceedings against her, which the Sheriffs de clared. The English at Paris are preparing a banquet in honour of their Queen; and our readers will he plcastd to learn that the president on this occasion is to be Mr. Thomas Moore, a gentleman no less dis tinguished for the honourable independence of his principles than for the grace and sweetness of his poetry. - • Ihe report obtained very general circula tion early last week, that the Bank Directors had determined to reduce their rate of discount from five to four per cent., is, we understand, without foun dation lIE QUEEN. b•Nittiall nti).44 tßrOalc i n t E ty TTEß. Y R D-. 1 have been honoured b) her • • 's command to acknowl e d ge t h e rece i pt o f your L orus bi p ' s let eit yestc.day, rind to state that her Majesty cimnot for a moructrf misutaler stand its real purport. The Queen perceives that the King's Ministers have resolved to pr.lvebt Parliament from assembling for the despatch of busi ness at the time to which both !louses had adjourned. The justice and viimloin of the Legislature would at that period, be yond all doom, have restored her to the full enjoyment of those rights which the Constitution has vested in the Queen-Corson. The Ministers plainly show that such is their belief, and they me determined, for some purposes of their own, to delay the re dress to which she is entitled. In a measure thus alike contemptuous towards Parliament and the nation the Queen perceives a still deeper design. It is ins. possible to doubt that the airhors of the late Bill have formed the project of trying in sonic other shape their baffled scheme of degrading her Majesty, and running the best interests of the august Family to which she belongs. Dekated in their first attempt--agmeed in the eyes of the people—consigned to the contempt of all Europe—iLserttsl by the most rational and Ds. spelled of their own adherents—they meditate a new attack on toe honour of the Queen. Their speculations must be founded oa :lie hope that the public sentiment, so loudly and universally expressed, will at length be wearied and exhausted, and that the Queen "herself will no longer have patience to resist such cruel anti endless persecutions. lint her Majesty owes it to the Britt. 4 nation to iti:clare, that she has the firmest reliance upon their support as long as she is the victim of oppression ; and to herself she deems it due to add, that no harassing treatintnt on the part of tile King's Ministers will ever shake the duty she owes to this generous people. Site has also the strongest conviction that the King's highest interests are at the present moment as much betrayed as those of the State, by the evil counsellors who are now once more plotting her destruction. To the offer of money with which Lotd Liverpool has thought proper to accompany his notice of the intended prorogation of Parliament her .Majesty has no answer to give but a direct refusal. Nearly ten months have elapsed since his late Majesty's death, and no Parliamentary provision has been as yet proposed for her. Ai long as the Bili was Fending the Queen saw the propriety of accepting the advancris made for her accommodation ; bat she will not accept as a favour from the Ministers what a due regard fur the honour of the Crown would induce Purliaineat to hrer.t as a right; and she is sttil more averse to impose upon the No pie the unnecessary burden of finding a palace for her, when the national munificence has already provided royal residences for all the Princesses who fill her exalted station. The Queen expressly commands me to add, that her Majesty as well as the King and the country, have reason deeply to regtet that the persons who have involved ad those parties iu their present unhappy iliffinilties should still have influence to prevent that adjustment of differences which the Queen regards as C 3 stntial to the common interests. I-ler Majesty has never enter tained a doubt that the King, if left to the guidance of his own sound judgment and honourable feelings, would at once listen to the Queen's claims upon his justice, and to the united prayers otitis loyal people. have the honour to be, my Lord, your LoMship's obedient and humble servant, H.

Thnrsrlay, St. Atoll ew's-day. the Anniversary of this excellent institution was celebrated by a dinner at the City of London 'farm,. His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence is the President of the Corporation, and has, in fact, several times filied the chair. On the present occasion he was waited upon, as 'usual, with a request that lie would preside. His Royal Highness, we understand, before he could agree to come, begged to live a list of the toasts. 'the list was supplied, and it did NOT include the Queen. This was as much, certainly, as his Royal High ness could reasonably desire, and a greet deal more than the committec,consistently with their ilitty,could warrant. tut his Royal Highness was not satisfied. He required not only an exclusion of her Majesty's Millie from tile no tice of the corporation, but demanded a seem ity that no loyal member of thecompany would obtrude it unofficially on his ear. 'this was more than they could do, unlessithey assumed the power of gagging or muzzling all the invited friends of the charity. The committee declined to become responsible for his Royal Highness's feelings, and he ac cordingly staid away; yet, notwithstanding this slight put npon the corporation, lie has, we are informed, been again elected President. But in the course of the year he must surely abdicate this office. If he cannot attend when the Queen's health is drank, it is likely that lie will never again have the troublesome duty of acting as chair man of a public meeting. The managers of uo charitable institution, whatever be their opinion of the Queen's cha racter, or their disposition to see royalty iu the chair, will sacrifice the funds of the est:dills! mt, or insult the company, by converting a charitable meeting into an Anti-Queenite club, or a scene of political brass hog. It is too much that royal antipathies have invaded the service of our church ; let them not impede the exercite of our charity.
