Milton, Parke DUKES of YORK and WEILUNGTON. The following is an extract of a private letter from Norwich, dated Dec. 5 : " Yesterday, at a Special As'sembly of the Corporation, the honorary freedom of this City was unanimously voted to be presented to his Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, and to his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. This morn- ing (Sunday) those - two Illustrious Personages arrived here from Lord Suffield's,at Gunton, at the fhouse of the Rev. D. Fisher, and after break asting with him, attended Divine Service at the Cathedral : from whence they proceeded to the Ange llnn, Market place, where, after being first waited upon by a Deputation, his It. H. most graciously received the Mayor and Sheriffs, and a very full attendance of the Aldermen and Common Council. Mr. Steward Alderson, in the name of the Corporate Body, and of the City at large, delivered an appropriate speech on the occasion, in the course of which he emphatically observed upon the deep sense of gratitude which the Citi zens of Norwich, in common with their fellow countrymen, experienced towards. the Noble Per sonages he had the- honour of addressing ; the one for having planned, and the other for having executed those' glorious achievements 'which rescued their country from the hands of a despot, and_spread universal peace throughout the world, The Royal Dirke and the Hero of Waterloo had the freeman's oath administered to them, and afterwards expressed their acknowledgments in 'terms worthy of themselves and honourable to the character of this. ancient and populous place. They partook, with the Members of the Corpo ration, of refreshments prepared for them; and all present had the honour of ' paying their per sonal respects previous to taking leave. The Royal Duke and his Noble Friend,' immediately after the ceremony, entered their respective carriages, which were waiting for them, and proceeded on their journey into Suffolk. The visit of these highly distinguished Personages, though short, was attended with the good. effect of eliciting the genuine loyalty and' true patriotism of our nurne rous,' respectable, and well-affected citizens. The acclamations with which both of them, were re ceived were animated in the extreme. The Ra dicals Sliewed their mongrel teeth, but dared not bite ; their blackguardism versed itself in the usual canine symptoms of howling and harking ; but they displayed the better part of their valour in a discreet regard for the consequences to them selves of any decided attempt at their favourite game of riot and confusion. Their ill-timed cries of The Queen!' were drowned iu over whelming shouts for The King!' for The Duke of York !' and for 6 Wellington! In a word, disaffection met a powerful rebuke, the spirit of loyalty has prevailed, and it will prevail,!" Yesterday,- soon' after one o'clock, the KING arrived at his Palace, in Pall-mall, from Wind sor, in his travellingchariot, escorted by a tarty of. the 10th Light Dragoons. . . A very general error, prevails, that Church wardens have a RIGHT to use , ".their Parish Churches for political or other purposes. The law is otherwise ; and it is clear that the right is in the Incumbent, and that he would be liable to the censure of his Diocesan if he. lent his Church . for such purposes. • Mr..

REPORTED VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO IRE- LAND.—It was yesterday very generally reported, -that her MAJESTY had, been invited to pass a portion . of the winter season with the Duke and Duchess of LEINSTER, at Carton.

A Court of Aldermen was held at the Guild hall yesterday, at which were, present the Al dermen Bridges, Curtis, Birch, Magnay, Atkins, C. Smith, Leighton, Bloxain, Ansley, Hunter, Domville, Wood, Waithman, Heygate, and J. J. Smith. The only business stated on the sum mons was to consider a Report from fri,e Com mittee relative to the late 'prosecution against certain Liverymen instituted by that Court. No notice, however, was taken of . this subject ; 'but immediately on the Court's being formed, Mr. Alderman BIRCH rose to propose that a dutiful and. loyal Add: ess should be presented to his Majesty by that Court, expressing their at tachment to his Royal Person 'and Government. He prefaced this motion by a speech of some length, in which he took occasion to observe upon the many- attempts made from almost all quarters to assail his Majesty's Government in every possible way, and remarked upon the nu merous Addresses, overflowing with impiety and sedition, which had been presented to the Queen. He then proceeded to pronounce a very violent philippic upon the Press, which he denounced as most abandoned, and exerted only for the pur poss,e of inflaming the worst passions of the peo ple, and the elorts of which were seconded, if not exceeded, by the indecent _exhibitions in every print-shop, all tending to degrade and bring into contempt his Majesty's " Government. He therefore felt it to be the dUty of that Court to express their determination to protect the Crown and uphold: the Constituted Authorities. With this view he proposed the Address, which was then read.—The Address being seconded, W. pomvier,E observed, that he should be as ready as any member of that- Court to agree to an Address of loyalty and. attachment to'his Majest.ios- person, but. there were expresi4ons in. the Address now read with 'which he could not coincide ; there were also other matters omitted, without the introduction of Which , he could not bring his mind to accord with the Address i , he alluded to. the ,donduet , of his. Majest?s,Ministers towards. the Queen ; which he considered highly improper and' reprehensible. Alderman Woon defended-the Press from the calumnious observations thus generally cast upon it, the object of which could.be intended only to reproach.the independent-part of it for the -noble' efforts on the behalf of her Majesty, and to prop 'up a weak and Unpopular . Administration. - Alderman W A ITHMAN said ,he was not surprised at-seeing so full an attendance. indeed it seldom happened now but that some of the gentlemen had extraordinary business to propose, to the obstruction of the common bUsiness of the Court, which seemed to be scarcely 'thought of, and which it, was' now. difficult to get sufficiency -of members to attend to perform ; though, by some strange means, their attendance was always en sured when similar Motions to the present were to be brought forward. Alderman WOOD said he knew letters had. 'been privately sent round to - summon the friends, .or supposed friends of this measure ,• and if such underhand proceedings- were resorted to,'and the' Court thus taken by surprise,-they ought not to wonder if attempts were sometimes made to de feat them by breaking up the Court. Mr. Alderman HEYGATE said,it had been stat ed lately in the public prints, that the proceed ings of that Court were no secret, and that they possessed the means,.of giving publicity to tbem. He therefore judged ..the- proceedings of this day would appear also, and he hoped that, if his ob servations were reported, they Would be reported fairly and faithfully. -He was willing to agree to a dutiful and loyal.. Address, provided it was . ex pressive of their .duty.. and loyally only. He -would inform the worthy Alderman (Wood) .his opinions of the- reprehensible part of the public pres's. He considered .her Majesty's answers to . many addresses very reprehensible, particularly her allusions to "the. army, which he conceived had-a tendency to encourage -them to assist to overturn the present Government. lie was not a party-man, nor any.particular friend to the present Ministers ; where he. voted for them twice, he was three times in opposition to theni ; his only wish was for - suCh Ministers as would re.. ducethe army and - decrease the public exPendi lure,. and such , a set of Ministers he, for one, should like to -see in power. Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN said he was as will ing to go up with a loyal Address to his Majesty as the worthy Alderman who had just sat down, or the proposer of the present Address ; but he was at a loss to know what it was that the Honourable Mover- intended, or how to understand the argu ments and allusions he had made in support of his proposition. Did he wish other new . laws to be enacted and enforced, or in what way was it he suggested to alter the temper and disposition of the public ? With regard to the answers of her Majesty, which had been objected to by- the WorthyAiderman, otit of so many hundreds there Were certainly a few which he did not altogether approve -of ; not indeed for the Matter, .bilt be cause they afforded an opening for misrepresen tation : but, for the far _greater number of her Majesty's replies to addresses, he looked upon them as worthy of general commendation, and con taining a body of excellent constitutional maxims. The worthy Alderman (Heygate) 'had censured sonic of these answers as tending to encourage 'the army to overturn the Constitution ; on the contrary, herMajestycornpliments the army for their love and adherence to the Constitution, and expresses her confidence that British soldiers will never be in duced to lend their assistance to violate the-laws of-destroy the Constitution ; and in so doing she has said no more than has.b.een asserted by the worthy Alderman himself. lie, professes at the same time to be desirous to decrease the army and- reduce the public expenditure ; this, in his (Mr. Waithman's) judgment, would be test ef fected,by conciliating the affections of the people, which would' seat_his Majesty .in the hearts of his subjects, and render a Standing Army . to uphold the Governtnent useless' and unnecessary. Sir CLAUDIUS HUNTER . said he had always supported Ministers because he approved their measures ; and, he was now prepared, to accord with an address, ,so far as related to the:peffon of the Sovereign ; but a sense of duly intelled him to oppose the present address. He was of opi nion that the conduct of his Majesty's Ministers relative to the Queen was .highly improper, and. contrary to their duty, and had raised the voice of faction' throughout s the.whole country. An - Address of this sort he would most readily: agree to; and he thought the .court• by adopting it, ` would do itself honour, and, redeem itsell.from the very lowest ebb of ridicule,• to which it had. been reduced by going up so often with unmean; lag and fulsome addresses. Alderman BittoGta thought it right that 'an Address of this kind should be adopted at this moment, and highly approved of the one which had been proposed ; for really it was - quite shocking to see so much disloyalty, and so many Addresses and Processions going up every day, and people hired and paid to dress and go up with them. Alderman .J. J. SMITH had no objection to go up With a loyal Address, but h could not vote for an Address which contained such imputations upon the loyalty of his Malesty'S subjects as that proposed by the worthy Alderman. The Address he could agree to-must also:contain some repre sentations disapproving - Of the conduct of the present Ministry. Alderman, , CURISTOPHEit SMITH thought the failure in the proteedings against the Queen was the effect of blunders of the Administration ; and he, therefore, was of opitiion'Ahat they ought to go out. If the 'Address had contained any ap proval of the' conduct of Ministers, he •should have opposed it ; but as it was an -expression of loyalty and attachment to the Sovereign only, 'it should have his support. . .• Alderman .11uNrun then suggested, as an Amendment, the insertion .of some expression guarding against any approval of the conduct of Ministers. The Worthy Baronet -did not, how . - ever,* press his Amendment,' but the' same idea was 'taken up by, Mr. Alderman Heygate, moved the insertion of words to the following effect ;—" Although we are . far from 'expressing any approbation or opinion upon the conduct of Ministers relative to her Majesty the Queen." Alderman. BIRCH said the Address did not contain any such appreval or opinion ; he had. carefully avoided it. The Amendment was then put, and' negativel by a majority of 8 to . 6. • 'Mr. Alderman WAITIIMAN then attempted to introduce an amendment to the following effect .4 We cannot, at the same time, forbear expressing our con viction that the present distracted state of the country has been in a considerable degree occasioned by the recent mea sures adopted relative to her Majesty the aueen ; and that a, change of council would tend to restore the peace, union, and harmony of his Majesty's subjects." This amendment was also negatived. Sir Wm. C U RTIS said, he highl y approved of the address, and the more so as the mover had. cautiously abstained from any mention of ap - - proval relative to the conduct of Ministers. The Loan MAYOR was about to put the ques tion on the.original motion for the Address, Ivheit. Sir W. DOMN-ILIA: again rose, and in a very im pressive manner said, " My Lord Mayor, no matt in . this Court has a higher veneration. foPthe per son of the Sovereign than I have, or could .be more forward than should be in expressing - hig affection and loyalty. I have received personal favours and honour front his Majeity, which I shall always - feel and acknowledge with heartfelt gratitude ; but-this is a matter which .I. cannot in my conscience sUPporf. Ido sincerely think the King has la&T ill used, ill advised, and his confidence abused ; and I think it is the duty of all his Majesty's real friends to tell him the honeSt truth." • The Address was then carried by a majority of B'to 6, For the Address.
