VOTE OF CENSURE ON THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Mr. GALLOWAY thee; addressed the Livery. When last he had the honour to address them, oar Micheelmas day, it was for the purpose of calling their attention to the conduct of the late Lord Mayor, Alderman Bridges, in having culled in the assistance of the military fur the purpose of overawing the Li . very in their deliberations on an Address of Congra• Walton to her Majesty. Ilia Lordship a t first affect ed not to understood the nature of the motion which he (Mr. G.) was shout to make ; hut being told by louse persons near him that it was a vote of thanks, he then thought it quite regular, and said he might go on ; but tin sooner did his Lordship discover that he wits ahIWIS to propose a vote of censure, than he decided it to be allogellser irregular, end would not alloW of his proceediug.—(Load laughter ) lie saii upon that occasion that he felt, and lie always must feel, much regret at being compelled to speak in censure of the conduct of any indivi dual, anal most particularly so of the Chief Magis trate of the City. At first sight it might appear, that to surround the City with tro.ips was no great offence ; but be begged them to reflect, that Willey suffered that to pros unnoticed, if it were found that they did not object to the connexion, they would soon see that 11411 surrounded in like math ner. The best way to withstand despotism was to resist its first attempts.—(Applause)—lf one aggression were suffered to pass unnoticed, another would soon follow; one established abuse would inure the way for a train of future-encroachments, and might Iruil to the ultimate destruction of the whole fabric of their civil liberties.—(4ppluese.)— On that occasion he hail been prevented from go i mg fully into the bu,inese, and lie had promised that lie would do so on a future occasion, wheneser lii opportunity should ;.resent itself for discussing the question. The ',resent was the earliest oppor twill which had been afforded him, and the best srgument on the subject sea furnished by the event* which had passed in the interim, and by the praiseworthy conduct of their present excellent Chief Megistrate. —t Applause. I—The conduct of the people of the metropolis on the 29th of No vemb •r, when the Queen went to St. Paul's, proved that there was no necessity whatever fur the iriterfereoce or attendance of the military on public occasions, however numerous the us stinblage of the 'people. —(loud applause).—Al. &man Bridges, end his sic essoetates on that occasion, who had been very appropriately called " the seven wise men, the. insolvent loyalty of the City," on that occa,ion had thought it proper to issue their piuclamation, asincorriciug the dangers which they feared, and protesting against the con sequences.—(Laughter.)—He could not Consist ently with his feelings on the subject of Aldermen Bridges's conduct, pass unnoticed that of their present Chief Magistrate ou the occasion to which be had just alluded. Load applause.)-- Ile should therefore conclude by moving the thanks of the Livery to the present Lord Mayor, fur his refusal of the proffered a”isiouce of the military on that occasion; and their censure of the conduct rof Alderman Bridges, the late Lord Mayor, in calling Ito their assistance during the meeting of the Common (Nil in June Lis!. A course ssliiels he should iueariably feel it is duty to adopt on all future occasions of an unconstitutional craving of the aid of military power, unless the business were undertaken b' some abler end more experienced hand than himself. —(Applause.) Mr. TIPPER said, he had much pleasure in se conding these Resolutions. lie was aware of his own incompetency to enforce by any remarks of his own, being wholly unpractised in public speak ing ; and it was only on urgent occasions, such as the present, that he could prevail upon himself to intrude upon their attention. The act of the la'e Lord Mayor, in calling lb the military, was only a part or . syment of encroachment. Let them look at the conduct of the Court of Aldermen; they would fiud that many of thew had refused to con vene Common Ilene when formally required; where_ had refused to allow of the discussion of any mailer . not expressly mentioned in the requisition ; and the late Lord Mayor had, owe) his own sole uu tliority, teken upon himself to dissolve the liall while a Liverywaii MIS speaking. It was therefore necessary for them to stand forth sod raise their voices egatiist every instance of such conduct. N e . thing could be more honourable than the conduct the present Lurd Mayor.—(Applquse.)—.Under the trying circumstances in which he wary placed, if he hod cAled in the military on the 29th of Norton (Mr, T.) was not peppered to say. that he would have beta altogether blameable ; hut having undertstiew without arch assistance to preserve the pence's( the City. and having so completely suc cetdeil;if be should never do another act to merit bother (Wive, he would by sheet conduct alone remain for ever entitled to their grateful reinews brance.

Mr. Woottte, in a speech of considerable length, moved the thanks of the Livery to Mr. Charles Pearsoo, for his exertions in bringing to light the placard conspiracy. The motion was seco.itted by Mr. Tipper, and carried unanimously. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON then came' forward and returned thanks, amidst repeated cheers and loud applause. He stated among oilier things, that he lied prepared for the press a full account of the whole affair of the placard conspiracy, with copies of the placards, and the comments of the ministe rial papers upon them as they appeared. A former Lord Mayor, nitwit celebrated in his dry, he meant Alderman Atkins, had chinned great merit to him self as the discoverer and announcer of conapiracies. —(Laughter.)-41e had announced the discovery of a coaspiracy to burn 'the City, and cut the throat& of the inhabitants—(losighter)—and lie had declared that he had traced that plot to the same hands as had issued the placard before the Smithfield meet. ing.

The extraordinary scene at Troppau has given rise to the curiosity of the public to learn all the particulars of the fracas.

But when the ferment winch &tinhorns hid excited in this country, by their unconstitutional . proc.eding against the Queen, had rendered their 0,111 tit uittous in office precarious, and when questions were pet to them by patriotic Members in the House of Perris, on the subject of their interference in fa. reign disputes, they foond it dangerous to persevere in this course, and they trot new end contradictory tuatructious to Lord Stewart. Upon these he acted, to the utter• astouishasent of the Allied Po. 'termites and Ministers assembled at Troppau.

LONDON. SATURDAY. Dumont 16. 1820. The farce becomes every day more and more contemptible. la vain do the adherents of the Ministers strive to d.aw from the great body of the people an approval of the recent proceedings against the QuESII, or an adinis-ion that those who condemned those proceedisigs are enemies to the throne and person of their Sovereign. The people will not confound the defence of her MA JESTY with hostility to the laws and institutions of the country, feeling as they do, that hid her MA JESTY failed in her defence—had she sunk beneath the perjuries of the ruffians who had been trained at Wins to depose against her the Bill of Pains and- Penalties received the sanction of the Legislature, a blow would have been there by inflicted upon thu. Constitution, srli;ch must have dangerously affected its moral power, and compromised the safety of the State. This opi nion was entertained by many Members of the Legislature, who are most distinguished by their constitutional learning, their devoted patriotism, and their affectionate attachment to the person of the It ass entertained too by many Members of the Muse of Lords, who usually support in Parliament the measures of the Minis ters—witness cam obit the Earls of 1-Isetwoon and Ex Nisaturnew, and these Noblemen conse quently voted monist the Bill. It is therefore pre. sowing rather too much upon the fears, the weak wars, and the credulity of the public, now to brand as traitors and the enemies of social order all who out of Parliament concurred in sentiments with those who in Parliament voted in opposition to the Ministers, and by throwing out the Bill im. pliedly censured the conduct of the Cabinet. Was Mr. WiLszawoacs an enemy of social order when he declared in his memorable resolution, which was supported by a vast majority of the House of Commons, that the inquiry into the conduct of the Querns, as proposed by the MiMs ters, was derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the country' Whoever should cast a stain upon the loyalty of Mr. Wassaroacx for proposing that resolution, would be laughed at as a fool, or shunned sts a mad man, and Mr. WILBEITORCII might well regard it as an insult to his character, were any officious knave or meddling blockhead to suggest to him the necessity of signing a " Loyal Address," to assure i his Sovereign that be is not a revolutionist. The Iquestion respecting the propriety of the proceed- logs against the Quaiirs is the only one that, since it nos first started, has agitated the public wind; it has absorbed 'lvry other political topic, so that the retainers and followers of the Ministers who now dare to impute disloyalty sod sedition to the mass of the potion, make the charge with reference to the Queen's case only : there is no disloyalty, therefore, but in affection for her MAJESTY. sod 110 reditiou but in condemning the conduct of the Ministers. We yesterday noticed the miserable failures of the partisans of the Ministers to bolster up their cause by obtaining the votes of the inhabitants of Herd-feu! and Glasgow in favour of what are ri diculously called " Loyal Addresses." We have this dry to add another failure. -bat of a more decided character, 'at Gloucester, where the Ad. dress was negatived, and an Amendment censoring the conduct of Ministers was carried by a majority in the proportion of 50 to 1, in a meeting that con sisted of more thou 1,700 persons. flow long then will the Ministers continue to disgust the nation by persevering in this niaseansly ntummery ? Whet object can they hope to accomplish ? They may obtain Addresses approving their conduct from every town in the empire, but exposed as the farce has bean to the world, what can they expect from the accumulation of these idle papers but the increas ing ridicule of every intelligent observer ? No man can be so absurd as to esteem an Address " done in s corner," or hawked about a town or district fur the purpose of swelling the snotty chew of signatures, as conveying the sentiments of the vici nity from which it professes to emanate. The Mi- Dialers know this very well, end perhaps it is from tire very consciousness of their unpopularity that they now stoop to this disingenuous trick of cry. Mg Treason ! and Sedition !
