It was an old saying, " De fend me front 'my friends' and I will protect my self against my enemies." The worthy Alderman At present 'required some assistance, to rescue • hint from the mischievous tendency of the efforts made to support him. The Livery present, who saw the exhibition of yesterday—who witnessed "and shaved t h e entlitisiasui of.the Hall—who he held the ueevailing efforts of the crest-fallen Gentleman who .. attempted to advocate the cause of the London Tavern Meeting, would be sensible of rite ridiculous attitude in which the worthy Alderman was placed by his friends, had he been present, he intended to have asked him a question, which, by his retreating, be did not scent inclined to answer, The Livery would remember, that yesterday he had early left the hustings ; and he (air. 'Wlrite) did not wonder, from the reception he met with, that he was not completely at his ease among his fellow-citilens, and did not relish the temper Of the Hall. He had adjourned to another place, when: he was eeted with a more friendly reception. There— seated among his friends and partisans—there, in his own conclave, he was no 'doubt repaid by a hearty welcome and an approeintsmile, for the hissing •and hooting that drove him from the Hall. He had a right to expeet.such a reception front those - - Who were serving . their 'osvri party purposes by supporting his hopeless claims, and wito must 'value - him as a Martyr td their cause . :, but it was really exteuorditiary there gentlethan of good education and respectable comiections- . --a Gentleman who bad :diver home a fairchareiter in the world (which he (Mr: White) allosved he had done), who entered into society,"and new the. opinions of his fellow-citizens, should subleit to be the tool of a party who brought him forward fur their own ends—should expose himself to 'disgrace and contemptuous treatment on their Re count, and sort ender •at their continend all that was worthy of man. As the Alderman declined on the poll,' his friends seemed to lose tlosii tem, per, and flounder about for expedients to protect themselvei from disgrace, by throwing op'- prohriom upon their opponents. At first, lie (Mr. White) . had met . them on the 1 - iostings Witt' perfect goat) humour, and they mattcp.lty disclaimed 'all petty feelings ; but they now accuse him of resorting to improper arts, and v.:ven of uttering untruths." fle had bun accused of saying, that Alderman Wood had refuted as Be ronetcy, and had been called upon to contradict such an assertion. This assertion he haul never made and if the Committee , of the London.Ta''• 'ern had any sense among them (and he allowed they Karl not many wise routs in that geerter), they would have seen that the denial of this assertiou could not serve their cause, but would rather re- elonud to the honour of the -Worthy Magistrate whom the denial was usenet to disparage.— lie had said, that on an. oceadon . like that of preseptiug addresses on .the late nifptitils, ordinary Chiet Magistrate, ~o ne that was known to he a friend of theCoutr, would have t - eceived a Baronetcy ; but he bad, never asserted that be had been Offered a title and refused it.

Ile,rejoieed in I horiumph of the city of London---he rejoiced to see that his fellow citizens were alive to the merits of those Whose best efforts were repent to promote their welfare— he rejoiced to witness the zeal with which Livery- Men of all classes. and opinions came forward to the poll. Party here sliould be laid aside. The Livery should never forget. 'that they were Eng lishmen, supporting their privileges and, eter eising their rights, and should never let amy petty etuabble of polities separate them froth one an , Other, M or disjoin their efforts for the Comon ad -.vantage, He would say little more; He con dderett the contest already decided, and would taruesly entreat the, worthy Aldermen, for. his Own credit, to, retire ; but it' he continued on the busting' he hoped the.

Let the Livery continue their exer tions, slid their triumph was certain.

This was indeed a day Oltfinnipb to the City of London, and to the whole , conntry. tortuer „octet:ions, the popular. ;voice was some tames, beard its =the- CoinmOn Hai but the arses of rite Livery were despised, and their opinions ovet•tided by a 'corrupt jumble And Met at the City of London Tavern, to oktishliy thei r influence the liberties . of the people. Tli* junta had power enough to barter away the sights of their fellow-citizen*, and• then broughrthem tip to vote, like sheep ',to the slaughter. It had often excited the orator's.commiseration, to see the:Li very brought op to vette contrary to their wishes and•opinions : bat their excuse was strong , when i .they declared, that they sat rendered their rights fur bread. Now they had shown that they would no 'longer be led by the Conlon tools vi power. Adverting to the 'object of party,the orator declar ed, that be entertained no antipathy to Ald erma n Smit it on account of his pOlit ital principles. tie had seen good men of all political parties, and believed that virtue and integrity were perfectly comp a tibl e idt any set of political opinions ; but his objec don •to the worthy Alderman was, that he was the tot 4 of a party, and that when any effort wai made ttr deitroy thp rights and liberties 'of the Livery men, lie was always called to the chair. He re coembered on one 'occasion, that WheN defeated in the Hall, the junta retired to the Loudoti Tavern ; and that he, supported by the friends of freedom, followed them, found the Alderman in the chair, drove him from it, and 'elected another china n Let the Livery remember those days, end persevere uoposing the ascendency of this corrupt, and, now, degraded party. —Their enemies were defeated and disgraced, and, overcome. with "shame, were endeavouring to hide their heatl3, that they !night escape by theiHn significhnee into silence and oblivion. ; The sys tem which they bad supported was ready to -over whelm them in its ruins, and the credit of that policy pursued by that miscreant who mat calle•I ".the pilot that weathered the storm" was at last destroyed. [Here the orator wee Inter rupted by applauding shouta,, by waving of bats, by en-univerW movement and agit at i on , and by the most tumultuous elainonr,. Mitigled an 'alinost overpowering peal of groans, hisses, yells, and screams, expressive ofdlsappro bation, This most stormy tumult, and ' 1 wild up roar " prevailed for some minutes, while all the arts and popularity of the orator were excited in, vain to obtain a farther bearing. Mr. White, sensible of the imprudence which his brother orator had Committed, by plunging so deeply into the side of politics which he had disclaimed, eft- deavoored to pull him ; but as he had nut . yet ex-, havistetl his speech, he continued, we Ohoervall, to, Move his lips, and to exert his lungs a little, longer, withont being heard. At leaf, the attempt to en lighten the Livery became hopeless, and. the agi tation of the Hall being more powerful thao the prudent admonition of his friend, induced hint to retim] ' Mr. Hurcursts then stepped forward, and after obtaining a hearing, congratulated' the,Livery on the remit of the day's polling.. He regretted that politiCs had been at all introduced, oe that the supporters of the rights of the Livery had,been ;minced to deviate into the exaniple of their op, ponents. , TO descend to'Verty politics, or per, tonal abuse, showed the weakness of the cause that such conduct was intended to.promote, and should.never he resorted to by such as 'wasp gouda a one as that of the Lord Mayor's election. ~ (Here he was intereopted by cries of '' Off, otf!" and by minglad 611 , 0414 a n d hi,isis, so that we. ceitild not collect distinctly what he said : when silence . tri, a little restored, he continited) :—Why did the Livery reject Aldernian Smith ?--because they did not think him a fit person to be their chief magistrate.

It had been said, that'll:Alderman Combe and the Lord Mayor were returned to the Court of Alder mei), they would elect the former; and if he de clened, that they would still reject the latter ;" so that Alderman Wood could not .expect to suc ceed, event though suppot ted by the great majo rity of the Livery. .This was a result be did not dread, When Was was returned to a higher as sembly, they rejected him, and chose the other candidate, Luttrell ; but they were afterwards, by the,perseveratce of the electots, induced to *ti ter tbeir,conduct, and rescind their resolution. He trusted the Court of Aldermen, if they Were So imprudent as to follow the first pact (it this ' example, would be compelled likewise to follow the last : but he did not suppose the Court would have the temerity or audacity to oppose'them selves to the expressed. Wishes and zealous suf frages of the Livery. He concluded by urging the Livery to continue their exertions to return the preseot Lord Mayor another year, atid.then they could say, like Lord Nelson, placing their lointis upon their hearts, they had done theirLty, as England expected every man to do. - . . Mr. Wtt.Lt tads then stepped forward ; '. not being able to obiain a beariog amid the tumult and disorder that prevailed, and amid the cries Ot Off, off!" that resounded through the Hall, Mr. White interposed, and besought for him .# hearing..

He begged leave to assure the Livery, that Alderman Smith was not -deserted ; but that though he himself was absent, his friends were ready to answer any question that might be proposed to him.---(Coutioued tumult.)---Many misrepresentations were propagated, of the con duct and sayings of the worthy Alderman' and his friends. It had been stated, that they called the Livery of London a disorderly rabble.—(llC'did; he did, from 'the crowd.)-=-No;. they did no such thing : it was a gross - fabrication : they highly . respected the Livery of London.- -o-( 'No, no, off, off, and loud tumult.)-.—Their enemies resorted to politics.

At length we have a cargo of four days' Paris Journals, which contain several matters worthy of remark, as the following notices fully testify.
