The COMMON SEEJEANT having signified the pnrnort Of the Metti!!g, Mr. PEACOCK Sai=l, he intended to propose for their choice as Sheriff, a Geutieman of high re spectability, and in whom implicit confidence might be reposed. The Livery had too long over looked the choice of their officers, but he hoped' they would now assert their rights, and let the Candidates know that other recommendations be -ides the gratification of vanity or possession of. property were necessary ; that they must be knowii as men who would support the rights and privi leges of their fellow-citizens. The Gentleman he should nominate was J, W. Parkins, Esq. Mr. FEARON, in seconding the nomination of - the Gentleman who had been proposed, was dis posed to follow up.the idea of the Mover ; at he present moment it was especially desirable that .inen should be selected for Public Offices, who would support their rights anti defend their liber ties, Mr. Parkins was not in town, but at Carlisle, endeavouring tO ameliorate the distresses of 'their unhappy tellow-cootrrymen in that quarter. — (Hear !)—He was a msn possessed of the same principles that induced the Livery to- return.three it,dependent Members at the lastGenevalElection. .Under these circumstances, he cordially seconded t"e nomination, .. - , z- ,_ We refer the Polllie with great pleasure to the Premiums °feted by this patriotic and en lightened Society, for Essays on tonic Of great interest and national intportunce, and which can not.,tail to excite the attention of the Literary War the General Court held in April last, these Preniihms received the sanction of the Mem bers, and the Resolutions of lite Court have been transmitted to the several Universities of Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland. 1.

Advices from Madrid of the 10th instant are in town, transmitted from a quarter of the fi - rst politiesl information, anti they distirierly state, that the Treaty made with •the United States, for the transfer of the Two Floritlas, had not been ratified by his Catholic Majesty, further adding, that there was not the least probability, for the present, of its receiving the Royal sanction On this.curious and important matter great demurs have recently taken place, and It has been deemed . singular that the Spanish Y'goa - lator of the Treaty (now. in London), should have quitted the seat of the Federal Government, before the finish had been put to his Work. The whole transaction .has Weed been an extremely boister ous and complicated one;. but since the fist ar rangetnentz were made, great- obstacles have oc curred. On the one hand it is. thought Spain has been told, that if she cedes the Floridas to one power, she most cede Cuba to another ; wn/ist it , is on the other side rumoured that the United States find incumbranees .in the shape of grants of territory, which were not anticipted. In the whole negociation a great degree of finesse has been used, but time will chew which party is the dupe. Ferdinand's Government is well aware how much the United States covet th•e Floridas, • and he will, it he can, impose conditions beyond those of neutrality. Spain failed in her negocia. lions at Congress,. to rouse Europe against South America ; ate will , now endeavour to sell, under the best bargains, part of her Western in order not to lose the whole, and we shall be,happys eventually to find, that the Foreign E.nli , tment - Bill is not one of the branches of her crooked po licy. Of this, however, she may be certain, that - if on such an exhibition of rhe affair as the Presi-, dent will feel .himselt compelled to make to Con gress, it should appear that any (indite influence has been used to withhold the ratification, the popular ety will•be to take . thellotidas by force, for immense sums have already been laid' out by individuals in land speculations, and great pre• parations made for settling there. ii), of ro, nt OSp'II DART, Secretary. - - - -AL EXCHANGE ASSURANCE OFFICE, • 3.

On the , return of the Lord Ilayor and Aldermen to the Hall, the 11,.c , trder was about to address the Livery, w'4en Nl* Woot-Ett attempted to gain a hearing ; be was, however, interrupted by one of the City Marshals, who repre-ented the impropriety Of disturbing the proceedings, and told him, when the business of the election was ended would be the proper time. Mr. Woofer persisted in keep ing Iris ground, saying lie was re. , olved not to be tricked that time, as he had been on a former occasion —Considerable confusion prevailed for some time ; 'hen order had been restored, The RECORDER stated; that W. ThoMpson and J. H. Parkins, Estill. were ditty elected to serve the 01ring-a Sheriffs of London and Middlesex, for the ensuing year ; and that Rd. Clarke, Esq. waS re-elected Chamberlain. He then stated the persons who had been elected to serve the offices of Aleconnet s and in be Auditors for the year. The Report of the Chamberlain's accounts Was then presented by the Auditors, when — Mr. Wout.sa again presented him'elf. The LORD MAYOR also Cattle forward ; it appeared doubtful whether the Lord Mayor intended to address the -Meeting; during the suspense his Lordship directed the Common Cryer -to dissolve the Hall, which he accordingly did, and the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen, departed amidst loud cries of " shame,- Shame !" Mr. OLIVER then atkiressed the Livery, and ex pressed his disapprobation of the conduct of the Lord Mayor, who bad thus endeavoured to sup press the utterance of public feeling. He said there were several Gentlemen, friends of Liberty, who he had no doubt would take the Chair. He then named two several tient!men, neither of whom thought proper to accept of the invitati.n. Mr. WOOLER then addressed the Livery, in a strain of invective against s hat .be termed the scandalous treatment he had endured ; he had been promised by tiro persons that he should be heard, but he had been prevented by Ibt.precipi tate conduct of the L'.rd Mayor. He wished to have asked his• Lordship for en 'explanation, why he had refused to call a Common Hall, on a Requi . sitionsigned by 57 L:verymeu having been present ed, but as he had been denied that opportunity, he should propose a vote of censure on his Lordship, for his conduct this day. He then proposed the following Resolution :—" That refusing to call a Common Hall, on a Resolution signed by 57 Li verymen, was a gross insult to those who had signed it, and an outrage on the Livery in gene ral, which rendered him unworthy of the future confidence of his fellow Citizens." The Resolution was received with acclamations, after which the Meeting dispersed. TRANSACTION IN TI-IR BOROUGH -ATM Kirby and her children on Wednesday arrived at ; home, to the great satisfaction of the neighbourhood. It appears that she and her husband quarrelled on the road, in consequence of which Kirby return. ed borne, and she and the children jpursued their way down ; the country to beg, but did not go to' liroolwich as was expected. The man is now nearly well ; but he declares to the attendants, that the moment be gets astray he will do for him self-and his family effectually. - The Court was occupied the whole day in try ing two indictments for perjury, the one against Gentleman named Carter, a Solicitor, and the other against a Mr. Billing, a Messenger, under a bankrupt Commission, at the prosecution, IT.. , pectively, of Mr. Alexander Bruce, of Parlia , ment-street, Westminster. In the result boil] defendants were Acquitted. The trial of the indictments against . Mr. Wrottes ley, Mr. Dynely, and Mr. C. E. L - a - w, Commis sioners of Bankrupts, at the instance of the same prosecutor, was postponed, on the prosecutor's motion, until Monday the sth of July, on the ground of the absence of a material witness.

MtETING OF BOOKSELLERS.- 7 -011 'Wednesday evening last several respectable Booksellers, in terested in the sale of Bibles, assembled at the Globe Tavern, Fleet-street, for the purpose of taking into consideration the tenon of their Committee. The report gave a votliminous detail of the privileges originally granted, or said to be granted to the Universities and the King's Printer to print Bibles, and maintained that there was nothing in them to justify the numerous prosecutions lately instituted, and suspended upon compromises. The report was agreed to, - and ordered to be printed. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. MAWMAN and Mr. HATCHARD vindi cated the Universities from having in any manlier authorised or sanctioned the prosecutions against the Booksellers, It was agreed that a subscrip tion should be entered into for the purpose or re covering the rtghts of the general Bookseilei and for opposing such prosecutions as may hue after be carried on against . • [New Times] THE EMPgROR ALAIXANDEtt.—A little time prior to the failure of the house of ZuLkerhecker.
