A Court of Aldermen was held yesterday at Guildhall, which being the first after the recess, was attended by a considerable number of persons. The inquest of the Ward of Bishopsgate made a present ment of .several• parties, for carrying on trade there without being free of the City which was referred to the Chamberla i n , to give the requisite directions. 'he Inquest of Sr. Dunstan's precinct, in Farr rred ref ingdon Witheth. ant, also presented non.freemen, which wilt eto Chamberlain. Another presentment of non-freemen was made from St. Se pulchre% Inquest, togetherwith the inconvenience sustained by ltopping up the thoroughfare in Wheatsheaflard to Seacoal lane, which latter was referred to the Aldermen of the Ward ; and the non-freemen to the Chamberlain. Tower Ward Inquest delivered in a presentment of some ruinous premises, upon which the Court ordered boar e ds to be c immediately put up, to guard the premises from tar e to streets ; and directed the c it y solicitor to put the act of Parlia tnent into execution respecting the same. Commissioners of the Court of Requests for the month of October next were appointed. • Several persons were sworn, and others allowed to be admit ted brokers, and some persons upon their petitions were dis charged from that office. Licenses were granted to coal-whippers against any reductien being made in their wages for delivering coals in the port of London, as applied for by some of the Ship-owners in the north, was prosentea, and referred to the Committee to whom the peti tion of the Ship-owners was originally referred. A Petition from the Fellowship of Carmen was car prtsese within nted, praying th at certain stands mi g ht be appointed for the city, agreeably to the directions of the late Act of Parlia ment, and that the owners of unlicensed carts, wains, and waggons, may he restrained from placing them on those stands, and working for hire, and prevented from creating' the con fusion and irregularity in blocking up the streets, lanes, and . passages, within' the city, which have been eQ loag complained of, which Petition was referred to a Committee of the whole Court. The Rulers of the Fellowship Porters presented a Petition, complaining of the conduct of the Ticket Porters, which was referred to a Committee. with directions that all parties should be summoned before them to be heard. Another Petition was presented from the Fellowship Porters on their former petitions respecting the employment of foreign porters, which was refer red to the Committee. A Petition from a p erson indicted for an as sault on a pri soner in the -street prison, praying for the proceed ins against himWhitecross to be stayed, was ordered to lie on the table. In. former letters it has been shown that the Navigation Laws of England were not Only consistent with - the Laws of Nations, but that all Nations have acted upon such principles whenever they found it beneficial to their interests, and 'that they are at this tune making the, greatest efforts to carry en those principles as far as they can extend,therne And likewise that the alterations which the late enactments have made'are likely to prove highly detrimental to the most vital interest of Britain. And we again pursue the same subject to shew more dearly that they, are made conformable to those which the enemies of this country have long been promulgating, and which they are now endeavouring to enforce by 'every stratagem in their power, with perfect conviction, on their minds that if they succeed in that object thet Great Britain has then run her full career of glory—has passed her meridian Altitude, and will fast sink into the rank of a subordinate state—not by conquest, as they have found that impracticable under thenld system —not for want'of energy in that improvi dent yet valuable and daring race of men, on which the country in times of need always looks for protection ; but by itnpro- • videat acts of Legislation, and that under a Tory Administra tion in which the country has placed great confidence, under an Administation that have often professed themselves friendly to the principles of our Navigation Laws as they stood before the alterations were made, and held them in the highest respect and veneration-rand it would be highly gratifying to those who still entertain those old fashioned opinions to hear clearly and explicitly on what grounds and for what purposes they were al tered--whether as a benefit to Great Britain generally, or as measures totally speculative to ext end the sale of our menu.' factures at the expellee of our N avigation—or whether this change was forced upon us by Foreign Powers, and to which we have tamely submitted, for as it is totally at variance with every thin heretofore understood as British interests, nothing' can reconcile us to this measure which lessens the number of our Ships and Seamen but a clear explanation on those points. There - certainly have been in this country, as in all others, those who continually find fault with all fundamental principles, and our. Navigation Laws hove not escaped their censure--but this .wasconsidered in no otherway than as the visions and vapours of radical reform, nor would it have found credit twenty year+ ago that any man of . sound mind could have been finind -- to have ventured his reputation in proposing the abrogation of the Na vigation Laws. • - The Illuminati of Pratte. and Germany, in their grand career of reform, were the first to ridse such an idea, and this was re. echoed by our Reformers; but 'who then. in his senses, could have imagined, that, in thirty years, this, their visionary scheme, would have found its way imperceptibly, and taken root in our schools, and spread the mania from thence into the. I.egislatere and 4cecutive _Government of Great Britain. The British reader will keep in view that Ilauteriee, De Pradt, Schlegel, and others wrote to servethe revolutionaty plans of the Intimated on the formation of a continental sys tem of Maritime Laws; and that when they promulgated the idea of circumscribing or terminating the maritime preponderance of England, by their two regulations which was to form the Mari time Law of the nineteenth century, in which they,endeavourcel to point out the means by.which Great Britain might. -by the chance of force or bad rule, become a subordinate state in the' scale of nations—this was the project by which they were to accomplish the downfall of this country, in order to share our wealth and destroy our power; and considering them as our enemies, and that their writingstand their labours were to effect such a purpose, we have no serious charge against them ; they owed Britain no allegiance; they broke no faith nor any pledge ; they only sought to subdue that maritime power which they all dreaded, and unless they could annihilate that, all their o th er schemes were rendered abortive. On • the con trary, under the ,all-protecting influence of that Maritime Power, " the Navigation Laws had become objects of attach ment and veneration to every British subject," and they were most carefully cherished by every British statesman ; they knew the value of their protecting power, and under their in fluence they had long found a safe protection from the horrors of invasion ;—they found protection from that dreadful anarchy under which the greater part of Europe, was made to . tremble, to crouch, and to bleed—from the practical effects of modern philosophy. gngland„ under her old laws, was blest with this security : neither a Spencean mania,nor the radical jacobinical faction, could receive the necessary aid to plunder, nor could a foreign banditti cross the Channel to support their phut of pillage and reform, while England's wooden walls floated in all their pride to'guard our coasts eL-thene sentiments may now be considered as old exploded notions by the Illumi nati, by the liberals, or by the economists, in their view, perhaps, quite unsuitable for this most enlightened, age e and such sentiments are' said to come from a high autho rity, that new and more liberal principles arc to be acted ,upon. ,But notwithstanding these illtuninated ideas we still Claim the privilege of using our senses, and of con sidering as a fact that our commercial marine has been the main spring from whence our resources have been most abundantly ttpVlied; and the foundation' upon' which has been erected that stupendous fabric of wealth and power which the world has gazed on with wonder. Anti we caution our new lights not , wantonly to undermine the magnificent structure, not to tamper with the foundation, or the first storm may bury its grandeur in its ruins. If those arg old prejudices, tbcy Are the .prejudices of edu cation; the prejudices under which we have lived and the prejudices which have been advocated by the wisest States men, and defended by the bravest men the country has pro duced t and it is much to' be regretted that the • most unfortu. nate feature in this new era is, that those prejudices, if.preju dices they are, which rendered our forefathers so consptcnous, as ltiVers of their country are now magi, if not altogether, ex tinct in their descendants. 'Whatever has been the cause of this dereliction, or however little of it may-remain, those -who yet feel and cherish those principles, may feel an honest pride; they need not to shrink from the severest scrutiny into the actual benefits which have been derived from them, if contrasted with the inflated visionary air blown bubbles of the new school; let us again re peat that the old prineiples have had the merit of raising a com mercial and a naval marine that have become the dread and envy and the astonishment of the world; and if these are er roneous prejudices, they are most wonderfully strong in clear circumstantial facts, attested and sanctioned by the expe rience of many ages ; and before we give up prejudices so sanctioned, we at least should be allowed to inquire on what sort of a foundation the advocates of the new system rest their claim to perfection, or what they please to tern sounder principles ! Every one .knows that it is easier to demolish a fabric than to raise one, On what foundation does thiS sound principle • rest-Lhave they as yet • given substantial proof ,of any one benefit which we arelo derive from the change—we hear of none—we see none—in short we need expect none; for if the economists could have produced -the semblance of any thing like a benefit, we ahould have heard of it a thousand times repeated. We find nothing tangible—liberal in words—in sentiments — in conciliation —but if those sentiments and conciliations are to be extended to the employing of foreign seamen to the prejudice of the British, we take leave to question the policy and justice of such liberal sentiments as a worse , than a frigid cosmopolite sensibility--a feeling . for Fo i reigners, and forgetting or passing over the superior claims .of our countrymen, their brave defenders. An able writer has informed us that the characteristic traits oi'modern philoso phers and economists, are temerity and whimsicality, a dispo sition to reason from falseprinciples, and not trout the true ns-. tare of . mankind ; that they found all their measures on certain abstract theories formed in the recesses of their cabinets, and not from the existing state of things and circumstances thus for Med their schemes Ore generally impracticable, specula tive, visionary. If this is a true picture, those symptoms have long been at work, sapping the foundation of our most valuable institutions, and their endeavours seem always to aim where they can do most mischief ; there have been insinuations made that the' country was ruined, and it has been recommended to filch the , . . public creditor. They accused the Illessin of Providence for sending a too great abundance, And from same school (fol lowing the precepts, i of die Illuminati) ii ' originated in this Itt country the dea of destroying the Navigation Laws—many hints had. beep thrown out previously, but the first direct at tack made was under the Whig - Administration in, IBOfi, by. introducing a Bill to ,allew the United States Shipping to '1 with the British West India Islends. This ,portance measure, hewever alarming, was. of comp arat i ve ly slight importance to what has been undertaken and ac corne l ts hed- under the Pro sent Tory Aditinistratien. But the 'Whig American Inter. course Bill of 1806 met with a dided. opposition from ithe Torienon that memorable debate, new memorable in shewing the Conrisienck of- some Statesmen. Sir William Grant, then Heater of the Rolls, emphatically exclaimed " what a triumph to our enemies must it be if the Parliament of Great Britain egrec to give up these Laws, which their enemies have so long regarded es their bane; while they are the foundation of our greatness;" and another Right Hon. Gentlemen exclaimed, I fear a general relaxation of opieide, on the policy of our , Navigation System, and a relaxations mixed with ails position at the expense of those fual Laws, unwisely to court and conciliate Foreign Gorernments." These were the opinions of the leading Tories in 10.06 '(and prophetic opinions they were), and, on this very question, in the vo e tersaire to be found the names of several who are now seated nix, the Trea sury Bench in the present Tory. Administration, The next contest between the Whigs and. Tories was relative to our Maritime Rights, Orders in Council, and Blockades, in all which we find the same Gentlemen on the side of Maritime Rights, and supporting the same system of Lews.—The necessity of having ships manned with British seamen was then too apparent to yield the principle e they were then usefully employed either for defensive or offensive measures; it was not then convenient to adopt the liberal system. The. Treaty of Ghent was not then signed, and the Tory Adminis tration was still supposed to stand firm on the old principle— but, alas ! no sooner was that Pandora's box of British diplo macy formed, than the evils began to appear—than it betaine visible that the Tory Administration had ceded points and given way on the old maritime laws—and that there was .a dan ger of still further concession to conciliate modern reformers and Foreign Powers ; this spirit soon chewed itself, the Whigs Timed for a Committee of Inquiry into the foreign trade of the country, and the Reports of those Committees soon made ft manifest that both parties had imbibed the principles of the economists—that they concurred in the most sweeping altera tion or rather a total abrogation of the British Navigation Code ' —and whoever will take the trouble to look over the New Navi gation Bill, as first introduced into the House ,of Commons, must be convinced that it went the full length of atotal abroga don of the system : it was afterwards a little modified, butatill hailed by its advocates as an entire new system, anti as a proof the greet oracle of all -Reform, the Edinburgh Review, has undertaken to praise the act and to eulogize its supporters; what n high gratification this must. be to a Tory Administration, when they read the following words : " Had Messrs.. Wallace and Huskisson been opposition-Alembers, it is not likely that they would have escaped being stigmatized as inipracticable and visionary theorists ! But the soundness of their Political creed scored them against such imputations, and gave them the power to give effect to the measures they proposed."—What a cunning rogue is this writer in the Review, when using his irony towards the Right Honourable Gentleman, " the sound ness of their Political creed secured them against such- imputa tion." When looking stedfastly on their former professions, and seeing their sudden conversion to the creed so long enter tained by the Illuminati of France and Germany, and by the friends and admirers of' the Edinburgh Review, " by a recur rence to those sound principles by which all commerce should be regulated." There perhaps cannot he si more convincing proof given of the sweeping and dangerous tendency towards the humiliation of this country, which is contained in the New Acta,thantogive them in the words of the Review: "These Bills have effected a total, and we think, a most salutary and benefi cial change in this great branch of our Commercial Legislation, but the prejudices in tiivour of the ohl. lairs were so strong that the bare proposal of so extensive a change would have been sufficient, twenty- years ago, to have thrown the Douse and Country into a flame." And.for carrying this beneficial measure a Tory Administration, the soundness of whose politi• cal creed secured them against imputation, receives the praise of the Edinburgh Review. On the contrary, the Quarterly (or Tory) Review takes a different course, and informs us, that " during the last Session Of Parliament, in the ardour of relaxing all regulations, some material alterations took place in this great rule of our foreign intercourse, and the para Mount principle of the Navigation Laws, though not altogether abrogated, was in some cases mo dified, in all treated with harshness,itmay be useful to the pub lic to recal to mind the prOgress of the system abandoned, and to examine the extent of the innovation in laws, on- which it is acknowledged in the preamble of the new Act, the strength and safety .of the kingdom so much depend. We have en deavoured to chew, with reference to the great outline of the measures, that much has been sacrificed, and little, if any thing, gained !" These are Tory sentithents—but they are wanting of the liberal ideas and conciliative' jargon of the day. " Call you this backing your friends S" then how.nre we to, reconcile this great anomaly, the Whig Review praising . the acts of a Tory administration, and a Tory 'lteview censuring the acts of a Tory administration ;.—there surely is no way to. reconcile this but to suppose that in th e a l terat i on of the Navigation Laws the principles of the Illuminati are triumphant, and that the Tories have found it expedient to become converts to \l'llig politics ;—then well may it be said that the age of chivalry is gone, and that this is the age of economists, and it ought to be remembered what the economists did for Feance. We have gone into this Subject at Much greater length than was first intended,to sinew in what quarter it originated, and the dangerous progress it his macie,and is 'still making;—but there is sonic consolation to find that there are still some who see and can appreciate the consequences that may be expected to fol low such daring innovations to cramp our national defence ; with great truth it is said, " that much has been sacrificed, and little if any thing gained," and as true " that the bare pro posal of so extensive a change would have been sufficient twenty years ago to have thrown the House and 'the country into a flame." And as a further proof of this, we need only again refer to the speech of the Master of he Rolls in ltiefi, on a bill of comparative insignificance to what has now passed (without opposition from any quarter more than that made by the shipping interests). is Sir, I have much to add, but after having trespassed on the patience of tine House so lung I must pass it over. I can only ex press a confident hope that Parliament (a British Parliament) will not hold out such a spectacle to the world as the recognition of such a principle as this Bill contains, which would be only doing that, by a law of your own, which your enemies, aiming at your destruction, luive hitherto endeavoured in vain to accompli s h, 1 who have, for upwlirds of a century , been endeavouring to im press upon the world a conviction that year Navigation Laws are will not think that you will at war with the rights, and hostile to the interests of other coun tries--I trust that you will not do for your enemies that which they have never been able toaceomplish for themselves—l trust of parliament into the hands of that you will not deliver tip to the Ministers the whole townie-, -don of your greamess_e ; t est you triumph by teaching foreign powers to say that the policy of Great elm given up that systern!!!

This well digested castigation from a Tory at el etber to.the Whig Administration,' clearly *hews the high tone then held on the least breath being attempted on that wise eyetee n of our ancestors. But the age of political economy had nut then taken such deep root in our schools, neither had the liberal ideas ditruied so many blessings —nor the conciliation of foreigners then become a paramount ditty in British statesmen—nor Was the Holy Alliance spread:, , ing its protecting arm and influence over the destinies of rut. tions—in short, the' , Milleitium was .not yet corrin••••and the British Lion still `retained his strength, X.. x BANKRUPTS.

DEVON AND EXETER PITT CLUB: [Front the Lreter Gazette.] The Members of this Club held their Meeting, at the Hotel on Thursday (the 18th inst.:,) at which Sir Tray. ton Drake presided, with the gallant Sir George Collier as Vice. President. About fifty sat down to a most excellent din.. ner. On the cloth beingremoved, the President proposed the health of 4 4 The King,' ' which was drank with four times four, and was succeeded by God save the King, verse and chorus. The following toasts were given in succession, with the usual cheering and appropriate glees : " Duke of York and the Army"—" Duke of Clarence and the Navy"—" Thereat of the. Royal Family." The PUESIDENT said, he had next to propose a toast anti. mately connected with the object of their Meeting, and which he was persuaded would be received by deep feelings of re. spect. The Minister, whose birth they were met to comme morate, and whose name should inspire gratitude in every Englishman's breast, had studied his country's good as his only object ; and to his system, which had been followed by sue. seeding :Administrations, was owing the glorious attitude of England among the nations of . the world, which she had maintained amidst the concussion of empires, anti still pre served. History could not record a brighter example of states. man-like integrity than that illustrious individual had fur nished ; and he knew that every heart present would respond in unison with his, in paying a silent but sincere tribute of respect " To the immortal memory of the Right Hon. William Pitt." The 11ev. Wm LIAM RaDronD, Rector of Lapford, said h e should do injustice to his feelings if he were to remain silent on the mention of that great Statesman, whose transcendaut abili ties and political integrity had., next to Divine Providence, secured the independence of ,these kingdoms, and restored liberty to Europe. In times of domestic disturbance his prin ciples operated towards the promotiOn of loyal and -proper feel ings, and ultimately restored harmony. But though great dan ger had been quelled, an evil spirit was still lurking about, endeavouring to accomplish by artifice what force could not effect. The jarring.principles of designing men had teen made subservient to individual interests. He .(Mr. R.) was aware that party spirit would carry men even beyond the bounds of common courtesy; but he never could have supposed that in dividuals of rank would have countenanced such scoundrels as Carlile, Hone, and Cobbett—wretches who had nothing to lose, but every thing to gain, and would willingly play a desperate ame to obtain their object. That Gentlemen of exalted sin lion in society should aid such adventurers, was downright suicide of character ; end they would do. well to recollect that the same principles, called into action, which brought the unfortunate Louis to the scaffold, would ultimately draw the life. blood of a Russell.—(Hear, hear, hear ! ) 7 -They were not now met under any specious pretence, but to indulge in those feelings of grateful remembrance, which were due to a man who equally respected the altar, the throne, and the people. He trusted they would all imitate his worth,—his talents they could not hope to attain but in defence of their country, their King, and their God, .he was sure they would follow his ex ample to the latest period of their lives.—(Cheering.)—The re maining toasts were— • " The House of Brunswick, and the principles which•seated . them •on the throne of these realms."—" The glorious 18th of September, the day on which George 1. landed in.
