So much for Mr. Alderman Smith. lie had now only • to . COHKlntukte *the 'Livery on - the tritsinnh which they Jtad_rgained. The Livery of London moved slowly, indeed ; but this instance must convince their enemies of their: rights, or the• friends of coernption a that,%yhen puce roused, they Moved with tremendous::.power—a- power whose ,velo city was propiiftid4fl to its mass.

This Hall was accordingly dissolved. OF THE LA'll2.: SHERIFFS. A new 'Hall being assembled for. the purpose of receiving the report of the late Sheriffs on the subject of ,preseutiug the . petition of the Livery upon the distressed state of the coontry to his Royal flighoe , s;the.Trinee Regent, seated on the throue, Mr. sheriff BELL reported to the follow. e ffecu t ..4.44lo l -he i and his colleagutt had, in eonf.)t miry twitneidentrusege, transmitted, through the Rememhttartceral alloolificatino to Lou! Sid mouth as to tbeqtatsterr.of the petition, and a re quest to know when it. Wight be i,isAnYAI High ness's pleasure to receive the same. The answer, addressed-to thc- Remembraucer, and signed "7. 'stated, " that as the, petition was that of the Common Flail, surf not of the Corporation of, London, Lord Sidmouth did not feel it his duty to talte the -coinotands of the Prince Regent %Orb regard to the mode of its rcccptian. The privilege of access to the person of the Sovereign had been always confined to the Corporation of London, bad the two U i li.vrbitivs of t)xfol (I 411(1 t'.latninidge." Mr. Sheriff Reit observed, that he had, on receipt of this conntonticatioe,, deemed it necessary to request a personal ihtvrview with t e hr f l Sidmouth, who informed them, that the only mode of .presenting the petition was either at the Lever, .pt• through the mediton of the Se , cretary of State's Office. The Sheriffs, under these circumstances, resolved .to appeal to the Livery, for further instructions, and the present was the earlieSt ,opportunity which had occurred it submi ring tiMmomnpuonication to them, This •addresit Was.beeLkinkii applause, and theTeading of Mr. Becket'A ans,o w,was attended with generel . glom; and 11444., • , Mr. ,HoNT ittiptediatOy stepped forward, ap parently under Some difficulty and embarrassment, to propose a set of Resolutions different frmn those which lte understood it was the intention of some Gentlemen to submit. lo : thus ,offering lamselt to stihstitute. Others,he acted only from the opinioti that they did tint come up to the in nor'wete sufficiently expressive of the in digntion with which the minds of the Livery must be possessed. 'He was himself a Liveryman, tin . shaaldvd by attachment to any party or any fac tion, and was determined 'at ell time's to speak the truth pitsifily j and without disguise. He Shooki be the last to poVerit the free delivery of any man's Sentinturits 4941 all'he asked of them was to compare the diffe49l copies of Residutious, and select that 'whietcYVOidd most adequately ex. prittra their oWnfe'ellota and opinions. Mr. rIfIII,II . 4AN here advanced, and spoke to order - . It hit, alwrivs been the practice, he ob. served, to permit the Gentlemen who had pro posed the former r6cdutions, in • cases where the olkicct of then) had misCarrleti, to came forward in the first instance, and submit their proposition to the Livery. It was not at fair proceeding in any "Gentleman to eolne to a prileote-meetilig, Inalte 'Outsell:natter of its ititentions,aild Oleo anticipate them by some resolutions of his own. It was im possible to do this, without arguing- upon what was riot at the timeo'rull-considerationa*auttalltul iog to what, was merely supposed to be in the in tention ot others.

A fter some fur ther personal - relleetliekti;:the speaker .0 oboe . tl 1-- t is ltesoititions ; the od of which was in substance that Lord Sidmouth was an enem y to chi:Throne and to the Liberties of the People. The 311 stated, that the Sheriffs, instead of consulting the Secre tary of State, might to have.matle .their applica tion to the Lord , Chamberlain. Mr.' I-!'.melt like wise contended that the Common H a ll coust i. toted the Corporatiota, and us a 'proof of this referred to the distinction enjoyed by the Livery of electing their own Chief Magistrate. Mr. IVAr , DttioToN seconded the resolutions in a speech wbicii , was interrupted by excessive clamour. Mr. THOMPSON saki', be claimed their attention to certain amended resolutions. ;Vial some of the points contained in:those already proposed he fully 4gaincided, , .bui.at the same time he was not I prepared to approve of the whole. lie *lid ant think Mr. iluot haft acre(' either rt•fliir or friendly part, or in a manner becoming every public clot racter. The present:, he thought, WAS a proper "opportunity for a-e.l k ittg these observations, be cause, 'without con tidence among those Min took a lead yin poblie traosaetiOns, it, was intons,ittle. that their efforts could he conducted with, any ad vantage to the country. Air. Mut, in conversa tion with him on the hustings, had ne. , er intimated t o bi ll) his design of propOsing a diffet cot string of resolutions. To leave this subject, however, be felt as ittategly as any man that this i ds a day of real triumph' ‘o'the City. it was triumphant, not only the success of the main test, but in all the circntostances that ettentled it. Ott the bench of Aldermen he ittiv • John Reeves, so conspicuous' in litotnoting'the late de solating war ; and he could not help wishing that 30110 Bowles, and Lord Grenville, the author of so many eahmities to his cou n try, were likewise pre sent to witaes9 the noble vindication'of their liber ties ie•hicli had that day taken place. Mr. beeves might Hower), to his employers and hadn't them that Euglishmett loot begun to a ssert their rights. Souse persons had described thatte Common Hull to be an assembly of raggamu (hos 3 but lie did uuderst mid front the Lord Mayor, who hail the best IlledllS 'Of judgiug, that a mote respectable meeting of the Livery had never taken place. Thu preseot ques tion was one of infinite importance. When their petitions were presented to the Sovereign on the throne, an answer was obtained, attil they had the satisfaction of knowing that their complaints had reached the Royal ear. 111 the ordinary mode of tranpritting them, they in all probability-pro ceeded no further than the bureau of the SO:ltetary of State. What could be more absurd than to place 'an accusation in the hands itt the thief, against whom it was directed ; and was it not the saute thing - to complain of a bad tnihister to his master ; through the medium of the delimpient hitthelf ! Even if their right were more questiimeble than be conceived it to be, it was natural ro . 4tippose' that the Father of his people would be -disposed to relax the strictness of a ioSiave . rule, in order to listen to the representation of their complaints. These complaints never before had such jusitinni• dation, and those MI6 doubted of this had lthly to. turn to the suppressed work of the' fibtifil of Agriculture. Atter some further reinarks, Which the cries and impatience of the Hell rendered in audible, he concluded by moving several Resolu tions'', which were ultimately ordered to be pub lished in the Loodoo Morning and Evening Pa pers ; the purport ot which was, that to uhanti , m the right of presenting the Petitions of fhe Com— mon Hall to the Sovereign,' Seated on the Throne, would be a dereliction of their most valuable righti, and 4 gross violation of their duty to the' country. The fins! resolution purported, that 'a Copy of these Resolutions should.be trao,cribed, and presented to the Prince Regent at the next Levee. Mr. FLOWER seconded the amended, motion, anti remoustrated vehemently against the Micron.- teous conduct of Mr. Hunt. lie insisted, also; that the ameniled resolutions svent quite aS far; and had moth inure spirit than those of Ils•litint • The right which they had now met to assert had never before been questioeed, not even under the reign of the accursed Stuarts, who had been just ly cashiered, and expelled front the country, for their miscoutluet, (The conclusion of this address was entirely lust lit the general upr oa r and coulu sion that prevailed.) Mr. HUNT appealed to the Livery, nirether Mr. Thompson or Mr. Flower had done "ally thing . more than repeat the explanation as to what had ' passed which he himself had previously given. He could not remain silent under so wreak and pitiful ast attack. He admitted that be had bee n told that M r . Flower was to move some t i ons , a nd could not, at the time, abstain front obsetving that be certainly was a fit person to be appointed for this task, who could neither be heard himself, nor hear the hooting% and execrations of his auditors. • _ _ Mr. STEVENS professed his anxiety that the Livery should not disgrace their proceeditigi by any irregularity or indecorum. 'l hey had suffi ciently manifested their disposition no longer'to a l d e r tamely whatever indignities might be heaped upon them. Till the present reign the right which they now claimed had never been disprited. , Un- fortunately the whole system of the Government had arrived at that point, that instead of the Re. presentatives checking .the Government, the Go. , vernment checked and controlled the Representa l tines, corrupting them to the base purpote.of sup porting the enemies of the people. He lamented the misunderstanding that had taken place itt tub: milting two different series of resolittions ito their. consideration. It was certain that tbe:Merniter-: of the Committee were most -respectable persons, who had come forward entirelyion , publie 'grounda,, and from a conviction that the country' stood in , need of their assistance. Mr. Finut, froM his si tuatiott, did not maintain that intereanpic which. was essential to union of effort, without which no' public Object could possibly be effected. ' Mr. W M AITIAN said he knew nota_ng ett personal differences to which bad made, but he was anxious for the ct;tisistencyrindl dignity of their proceedings. It was bt,it an o'idi nary point of civility to allow the perSlins appointed by those who signed the requisitiou for the meet ing to take the priority in contmencing the busi ness .Of the day. Why tbitcotirse had been 'de-, parted fr6ni on the present occasion, lie could not determine but be guessed, asithe phrase Will in dial it Was " micking 01' that it meant MiSchitif. It certainly appeared to . him to'be strong evidence of a diiingeottous to take a sly peep into the intentions of others, for the . porpose of unexpectedly f r ustrati ng th e m.' 1 4'he' question was then pot,' ands the 'Louie MAYOR declared the entry of bands to bettor fili6ur athe tmended Resolutions, , r oil .11104:a3,14.' Hunt' lucre consequently rejected by the Majority of the Hall. Thatiks were unanintously voted to the late Sheriffs, and to the Lord Mayor, who bevPray expressed their PcktioWledgm6its amidst i tm d Les.; timpoties of applause, and the Hall was iiiiine diately dissolved.

IYAMBUgGII, Stirs. 30.—There is now lying in our port v .ta take' in u.cargo, the remarkable vessel which was destined to convey Littonaparte to North America, in his flight from France. Every thing was arranged aceording to his own plan, and quite concealed. 'Tbc Ex-Emperor would have happily escaped that time also in a very large cask, expressly ordered tor the purpose, but the gli g lish surrounded hint too closely. If he had esCifiled discovery on one• examination of the vessel, tnenty or thirty others were to be evict ed, so that at the end he thought it best to sur render voluntarily. The vie of this vessel may perhaps excite interest. It is commanded by Captain Clay, and now belongs' to ship-owners of Lubeck. FUON THE MAINtt, SaPT.2S.--The Magistrates of Leipsic have renewed the regulation that no new goods shall be sold by auction during the fair, nor for a week before it begins and after it ends. What is must clearly proved by the rapid vic tory of the English over the Algerines is, that it entirely depends upon them to put an end to the piracies of the 4aaniry States.
