FOR THE SUN. 1101.1 ALLIANCE.-LETTER Mit. EDITOR—In a former letter, inserted in your paper of the 30th of .Augl:st, I called the attention of your readers to the association of 6overeigns, which has assumed the denomination of Holy Alliance, and offered some observations upon the prqbable intentions of this novel institution. The subject, both from its nature and from the probable influence it may exert over the fate of Europe, is one which is deserving the notice not only of every politician, but also of every free and re flect:llg man. No human institution can present itself, at first sight, under a more captivatir;: aspect. Every friend of humanity, every loyal citizen, must approve an alliance having for its object the preservation of the peace of Europe, and the security of that in dependence which every state should enjoy. But although the principles upon which this alliance is founded may be good in themselves,. the consequences to which they may eventually - lead are not, perhaps, equally unobjectionable. ry thus uniting in one body for the mutual preservation of their au thority, the Sovereigns of Europe seem to admit as a principle of scuna policy, first, that no nation has the right of new mo delling its constitution, and secondly, that every foreign power is authorized to interfere With the internal governmen of its neighbours. This doctrine may be politically correct, but is it conforinable to the laws of equity, and does it not sap the very foundations of national independence? The right of a Nation to new model the form of its Govern ment, is a subject of controversy, which cannot perhaps be de. ceded, so as to give universal satisfaction. Vet, while in our riper years we are expected to consider the people who effect any changes in their Constitution under the odious light of rebels to lawful authority, we are, on the other hand, and by a singular contradiction, taught in our boyhood to admire those same acts among the nations of antiquity. The names of Har rrodius and Aristogiton, of Timoleon, of the first Brutus, &c. are inscribed, not amongst those of rebellious subjects, but amongst those of the greatest of men, and of the best of pa triots. We are therefore taught early, that a nation may not oely change the existing form of its Government; but that such a change may be secured by the assassination of its Monarch, and that such a deed deserves the admiration of every future generation. If we are thus taught ,to approve, I can scarcely say the act itself, but certainly the consequences to which it led,., if we believe that the expulsion of the Tarquins from Rome, the abolition of Roy a lty, an d th e creation of the Consular Government were justifiable in themselves, and proved beneficial to the State, bow much must we rejoice that no Holy Alliance then existed to force upon them the tyrannical reign of the Tarquins. Nor are such examples of our approbation, given to similar occurrences, confined to the nations of antiquity. Do we not hail the noble efforts of the Swiss and of the Dutch, in their attempts to throw off the op pressive yoke . of Austria and of Spain ? Do we not rejoice to find, that their struggles proved eventually successful ? How much, therefore, should we lament their fate, had their chains been rivetted by an Holy Alliance ? Nay, to bring the question more home to ourselves, had this Alliance existed at the close of the seventeenth century, how could the glorious ,Revolution of 1633 have been accomplished, and the present Constitution established. It is evident, in short, that this de termination of forcibly compelling nations to submit is their exist'a , .g government is not only a novelty in the annals of poli tics, but is moreover a manifest infringement of the rights and liberties of every free and independent people. Having thus far shewn the novel nature of the Holy Alli ance, let us now cast a glance upon the manner in which its members intend carrying its avowed object into execution, and into the public consequences by which it may be followed. There certainly does exist among the principal nations a spirit of disaffection towards their Sovereigns, which threatens the existence of the throne, or which seems at least to portend some change in their present form of Government. Among the existing dynasties, those of France, of Spain, of Sweden, and of Naples, seem tottering on the throne, whilst the Turkish. Empire is threatened with a speedy dissolution. On the other hand, it is pretty confidently asserted upon the Continent, that secrot machinations are carrying on against the Governments of Prussia, of Austria, and even of Russia. It is because the Sovereigns of these States are aware of the rebellious, or dissaa tis.6.2d spirit that prevailramong their subjects, that they have entered into a close alliance for their mutual support. Their intentions are obvious ; but do they poSsess the means of car rying theni into effect, and will they not suffer their own pri vate interest to lead them away from the avowed Spirit of their alliance ? Will they not, indeed, in many instances, find it im possible to undertake the task ? Spain is a proof that the latter is not an impossible case. Of what assistance is the Holy Alliance to the beloved Ferdinand ? Of what utility will it be to the King of Portugal? Should the Russian nation rise in a mass against its Sovereign, would the allies of Alexander be able to ehrd him any assistance? Would they venture their troops on a soil still moist with the blood of the soldiers of Buonaparte? This is indeed not a probable case, particularly under the ad ministration of its present - Monarch, but it is an event that MAY happen. This alliance has indeed put down the spirit of rebellion which broke out in Naples, but would it act with equal zeal in favour of the present dynasty of Sweden ? These are questions that may be fairly asked, and by the answers we shall be able to judge more correctly of the . nature and inten tions of this alliance. But we have a pretty good proof of its nature by the line of conduct Russia seems about to adopt in regard to the Ottoman Porte. It may be inconsistent with the religious principles of the members of the Holy Alliance to aid the infidels against Christians; but it must be inconsistent with its avowed purpose to assist rebellious subjects against their lawful government. No one can more than myself dislike the Turkish domination,' under whose baneful and de structive ilifluence some of the finest portions of Europe and of Asia have been changed into barren wastes ; and no one more than myself feels desirous to see these barbarians expelled from the shores of Europe. I am not advocating their cause, I am only inquiring how far the conduct of Russia, towards the Porte is in conformity with the principle of the Holy Alliance. if its object be really the maintenanee . of every existing Govern ment, its assistance must be given to every Sovereign acknow ledged by its Members. The inclinations of some powers, in this instance are readily discovered. Austria and Russia have long been desirous of dividing the spoils of Turkey, and will therefore greedily seize any favourable opportunity of attaining the object of their wishes. At no previous period did fortune ' appear so favourable to their ambitious designs. Policy, ambi tion—a certain conformity of creed—all will afford to Russia excuses for the support it may give to the Greeks, for its hostile conduct towards the Turks. This policy, while it is at variance with the doctrine of the Holy Alliance, must lead to a sangui nary contest between the Russians and the Greeks against the Turks. To the latter, who will have to contend against both foreign and domestic foes, it must prove eventually fatal, but it will be rendered, by their fanaticism, a war of externeina- tion. The Ottornan'Throne will probably be for ever destroyed, at least in Europe, nor is it likely that it will last long in Asia and in Africa; but torrents of blood must flow ere it be washed away from the shores of Europe. And when it has fallen, how will the conquerors divide the spoils ? What new division of provinces will be adopted to preserve the equi librium of power, eqablished by the Congress of Vienna and the Treaties of Paris ? Can France, can Prussia see with plea sure the power of Austria and of Russia so considerably in creased ? Can England allow Russia to be in full possession of the shores of the Archipelago, and of those of the Black Sea ? If such a change necessitates a new partition of Europe, is it not to be feared that, in the present irritated state of the public mind, the people may object to be, transferred from one master to another, like a flock of sheep ? May not, therefore, the Holy Alliance, whose avowed object was the maintenance of legitimate authority, and the preservation of the public tran quillity, again plunge Europe into a sanguinary war, kindled by the partition of a country, wrested from its legitimate and acknowledged sovereign, in consequence of the assistance af forded to a - portion of his subjects, by the professed champions and protectors of legitimate authority !

Court of Common Council was held for the purpose of receiving a Report from the Committee appointed to consider of the best mode the Court may adopt to express their con gratulations and respect to his Majesty upon 4tis Coronation. Mr. OLDHAM, as the Sub-Chairman of the Committee ap pointed as above stated, said he had great pleasure in statint , that the Report which . h e h e ld i n hi s hand - was signed by the whole of the Committee, who had exercised great care in exa , mining preced6nts as to the matter referred to them. The Report was then read ; it was of great length. It recom mended that the Lord Mayor and Sheriff ' s should wait upon his Majesty, and humbly request that he would graciously vouch safe to honour the City with his presence at their dinner on the next Lord Mayor's day. Mr. OLDHAM said, the Committee had found that it had been the custom from time immemorial to invite the King to dine with the citizens on the first Lord Mayor's dinner after the Coronation. But though the King was invited in fact by the Corporation, yet he was consid ere d as th e gues t o f t h e L or d Mayor. fter the Revolution King William - was invited in June, 1639, by the Lord Mayor, as was also Queen Anne, after her Coronation ; but George the First, and George the Second were invited by the Common Council. It was moved at a Court held subsequently to the dinner which George the Se cond attended, that lie should be requested'to s it fo r hiikeness, and it was voted that his statue should be placed in the Royal Exchange. A similar course was adopted on the occasion of the Coronation of his late Majesty in 1761, and his statue was also placed in the Royal Exchange. The speaker proceeded to state, that he was happy to inform the Court that the Com mittee had ascertained that the Corpom, on had ample means of giving the entertainment with a degree of splendour worthy of an entertainment given from the first City to the first Sovereign in the world, and he was of opinion that there was no sacrifice which the Court ought not to Make to accomplish any . thing which tended to promote th a t un io n w hi c h ought to subsist be tween the King and the people. Although, however, the Cor poration might not receive his Majesty with all that effervescence with which he had been received in the sister country, yet he would without doubt be received with all those feelings of Con stitutional loyalty that the City of London had hitherto been distinguished for. The difference of feeling manifested in the metropolis to that manifested in the sister kingdom arose from the citizens being more accustomed to the Royal presence. He had, however, no doubt- that although the Co r po ra tion wou ld not go to the lengths of expression which had been gone to in the sister country, yet that they would displ a y a gre a t e r s olidity of feeling (if he might use the expression) which would be equal in amount, and do honour to them in the estimation of the country at large.—(Hear, hear!)—lle congratulated the Court that on this subject there had been an annihilation of all party or political feeling. He implored the Court to keep up the same unanimity, forhe would rather that the King sho u ld not come into the City at all than that he should not be received as the greatest Monarch on earth.—(Hear, hear !)—On this sub ject something was to be expected from his Lordship's succes sor, and he hoped they would have a successor in. every way worthy of him, for he would say that the City of London had never been more honoured in its Lord Mayor than at present, and he wished that they should have a gentleman of fortune, of good sense, and of conciliatory habits, to serve the office for the ensuing year, in short he wished a second Thorpe. Mr. Sheriff WILLI,..es seconded the motion, and hoped the Citizens would haw, an opportunity of shewing that they were all truly loyal, whether they agr e ed o r differed with the Ad- Ministration. 31r. FAVELL agreed with all that had been said by the Worthy Mover, and trusted that the Corporation would have as harmonious a dinner as they had had on the day before at the Mansion House. - Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS contended, that the Lord Mayor alone ought to invite his Majesty. Mr. Sheriff WAIT LIMAN concurred with the Report. A man who supported the Constitution could not but respect the Sove reign, and he (Alderman Waithman) had yet to learn that 10. - man's loyuity should be measured by the degree of support or opposition which he thought it necessary. to give to the measures of the Administration. The Report was agreed to unanimously. Mr. OLDHAM then moved that the Court should humbly request that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to honour the Corporation with his presence to dinner on the Lord Mayor's Day.—The Motion was put and carried unanimously. It was also moved that The Lord Mayor elect, with the She riffs, should request the Duke of York, with his Royal Brothers, to accompany his Majesty in his visit to the city. VOTE OF THANKS TO SHERIFF WAiTHIVIAN, FOR HIS CONDUCT ON THE. FUNERAL OF HONEY AND FRANCIS. Mr. FAVELL rose to make a motion, which he introduced in so low a tone that he was for a considerable time inaudible be low the bar. He descanted on the increasing tendency which he said appeared on the part of the persons in power to avail themselves of the use of niilitary force instead of the civil autho rity, and on the jealousy with which all attempts to supersede the civil power ought to be viewed. He would now trouble the Court .with some circumstances on which he would found a mo tion relative to the part taken by one of their highest officers, .on an occasion where the military were concerned. Mr. 'l'. N. WILLIAMS said, that from the manner in which the Speaker had commenced his speech, he (Mr. T. N. Wil liams) clearly foresaw that it would end in a motion for a vote of thanks to Sheriff Wi - dthman. The Speaker said, it was the Standing Order that notice should be given of any matters of importance that were to be brought before the Court. The motion was one of great weight, and he claimed it a s a r i g ht that he should have d ue ti me for considering it. Mr.. OLDHAM requested that Mr. Favell would state what he meant to move ? Mr. FAYE L L said the Court was entirely master of its own proceedings, and would at times suspend the Standing Order. Mr. T. N. WILLIA3rs opposed the proceeding, and would not consent to the irregularity. Mr. OLDHAM wished to take the opinion of the Chair upon the matter. The LORD MAYOR referred to the Standing Orders of the Court, which wet:, to the effect that no Member should intro duce a motion without first giving a certain notice upon th e paper. His Lordship sa id th a t unless the Court should suspend the Standing Order, he did not conceive that the Worthy Mem ber could-now propose any'motion. Mr. HuncomnE supported Mr. Favell, as did Mr. Durn tbrd, who said it was a question of privilege which, by the Or ders of the Court, preceded all others. Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he had no knowledge of the motion which Mr. Favell intended to make, but if it related to the conduct of some of the soldiery on a recent occasion, we understood the Worthy Sheriff to say that he thought it a ques tion out of the range of the Standing Order, and he should feel it his duty to lay a statement before the ourt upon the sub ject himself. Mr. FAVELL said, the privileges of the city had been violated through the person of one of th e i r highest officers, and as a ques-' tion of privilege he pressed the m o ti on w hi c h h e i nten d e d to make. • The Speaker proceeded to make a similar statement of the riots before anightsbricige Barracks on the Sunday of the funeral of Francis and Honey, to those which have already ap peared in some of the public prints. He would confine himself to that Sunday, as other matters in which the Sheriff had acted . were now under a course of AdjudiCation_. He contended that from the bold and able manner in which the Sheriff had acted, even at the risk of his life, on that occasion, foe the reservation of the peace, he well deserved the thanks of the Court. The speaker concluded by moving a - Resolution to the effect, that the office of Sheriff was the highest and most important in the election of the citizens, and that it was the duty of the Court to uphold its character and to protect the officer in the proper exercise of his duty. That while they , expressed their approbation of the prompt and effectual means employed by Mr. Sheriff Waith man, for the preservation of the peace durinc , the funeral of gu Francis'and Honey, on the 26th o f Aust, they could not but express their abhorrence at the gross violation of the public peace by several of the Life Guards ; and that the coolness and cou rage displayed by Mr. Sheriff Waithman, on that occasion, de served the thanks of the Court and his fellow-citizens. • Mr. H lie° MBE seconded the motion. , Mr. Sheriff WAiTixaLtx said, that from what lie at first conceived as to the. nature of the motion made by his worthy friend he (Sheriff Waithman) had thought to have seconded it ; but as it was for a vote of thanks to himself, he should trouble the Court with a few observations, awl then retire, th a t th e y might be unshaCkled by a ny feelings' . of delicacy in their discussion which might arise from his presence. But he consi- - tiered the question as one which had very little relation to him self, as every man who had thinness of mind would have adopted the same course that he had adopted. It was a-question which arose from one of the greatest outrages and violations of the most important of public offices that had ever been recorded. It had become a practice, whenever there was any indication of a breach of the peace, to have recourse to the police magistrates. But to preserve the peace it was necessary to have recourse to persons who were of influence with the populace, and it could not be better done than by entrusting the task to those who were of the people's own election. Now on the 26th of August, although a communication was made to the Lord Mayor to request that he would be in attendance to preserve the peace, yet no such communication was made on that day to the Sheriffs, who were the more proper persons. He (3lr. Sheriff Waithman) was out from nine o'clock in the morning, • The KING remained on Monday in Milford Haven, and intended to sail with the tide of that evening for the English Channel, if the wind permitted. Lord SIDMOUTH arrived in good health at Richmond Park on Monday evening. We received this morning the Paris Journals of Sunday. They bring no account of the com mencement of hostilities, but contain several ar ticles the tenor of which furnishes strong indica tions of approaching war.—The following are extracts : " PARIS, SEPT. 9.—Prince Demetrius Com nenus, who, according to the Lyons Journal, re sided in Piedmont, and there received a solemn deputation offering him the Crown of the Greek Empire, was at that moment residing at Paris, Rue St. Dominique, N 0.23, where he died yes terday nr-orning at six o'clock. lie was an Ad- , jutant-General in the French service, and a Chevalier of the Order of St. Louis.

" It is affirmed that during the recent negocia tiorfs at Constantinople,before the departure of tho Baron de Strogonoff, the Minister of several of tike Southern Powers delivered notes to the -Divan disapproving of the Greek insurrection. To this circumstance is attributed the determined tone assumed by the Ottoman Government in its discussions with the Russian Minister. . .

He then proceeded to detail the conduct of the soldiers in the front of the barracks, whom he described as having pro voked the people by appearing at the windows, and mocking them. Some by pretending to cry, and others by pretending to shoot at them. A brick was wantonly thrown amongst the people from the barracks. He described the conduct 'of one of the soldiers, whom he should know again, and who laid hold of his_higse in a manner and under circumstances which, 'left him no alierriQLve but to strike akthe man ; the , worthy' Sheriff then pro - ceNed to 'state that he had received a letter, which complained that he was not at the barracks door at about nine o'clock at night to assist Mr. Conant. " The Sheriff of London," exclaimed the Speaker, " to assist a hired police Magistrate !" The Speaker said he had made a statement of the attempt which had been made upon his life in the execu tion of his duty, but as nothing had been said upon the subject, and he had never been called upon, he thought himself warrant ed in concluding that no steps had been taken against the of fenders, and although Mr. Conant had examined some police officers, yet he (Sheriff Waithman)was quite in the dark upon the subject, excepting that he understood questions had been put to those examined, with a view of bringing out something against himself. He characterised the whole proceedings as the part of a systematic and deliberate plan to subvert the liberties of the peo ple. No one had a higher opinion of soldiers in general than himself, and God forbid that he should suppose that even in the Horse Guards there were not men with the proper feelings of humanity. They were paid by the people for the protection of the liberties of the country, but through bad habit, from bad mi -1 ployinent which they had been put to, their character and dispo sition had become very different from what soldiers ought to have. When two bodies were carried by, on one of which they were charged by the verdict of a Jury w ith h av i ng comm itt e d w illf u l murder, could any thing more evince a malignant disposition than for the soldiers to mock and insult the populace who were carrying-them ? It had been asked why he was not present to quel the riot at Cumberland-gate. Now he declared he knew nothing of the riot there at the time, and merely heard the firing of the pistols ; but what could the Sheriffs have done with the soldiers ? He went to attend the funeral and not to quel a riot. Mr. OLDHAM objected to the Speaker's going into what oc curred at any other time than at the funeral of the two men. The SHERIFF concluded with some observations to the same effect. Sheriff Wxr.r.i A 3/ s said, that before his colleague withdrew from the Court, he wished to make some observations in his pre sence. Although the motion before the Court did not in terms censure him (Sheriff 'Williams), yet it would have the effect of a censure.—(Cries of" No, no !"—Although the mover might not intend any thing of the kind, yet he contended that such an in ference might very fairly be drawn, as well as that his colleague had been making a speech to procure himself a vote of thanks.' The speaker complained that in the account of the funeral of the Queen, no notice had been taken of his having been in rea diness to assist in preserving the peace. He also complained that his colleague had not given him timely notice of his inten tions on that occasion. 011 the night previous he said.on part ing--." I may he there in my private,, but not in my public ca pacity." At about eight or nine o'clock at night a letter came from him, stating, that he should be at Hyde Park-corner in his funeral capacity at about seven o'clock. This letter was deli - - Tered in the ordinary manner, as if of no importance, and was put in the ordinary letter box, and was not received until nine o'clock on the following morning ; but he (Mr. Sheriff Williams) • immediately set of up the City-road, as the most likely direction, and was upon duty the whole of the day. The vote of thanks proposed, if carried, he thought, from the manner in which it was brought forward,.would not be worth having; it would have the appearance of party thanks; it would appear as if his cause were weak and falling, and that it wanted patching. Mr. Waithman then retired. Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS said, that the wliole savoured much of trick. He moved ? as an amendment, that it should be re ferred to a Committee to inquire into and report upon the matter. Mr. OLDHAM said, that at least it was exceedingly bad taste to bring forward a question of that nature at that particular juncture which was most certain to create party spirit, when unanimity was so much sought.--(Hear, hear !)—He would not go the length of saying that h e wo u ld no t join in a vote of thanks if it were regularly brou g ht forward, for he was a great enemy to the introduction of a military force on such occasions of the nature spoken of; but he did take upon himself to say that, however the worthy sheriffmight de-_ serve the approbation of the 'country for his conduct on the fune ral of Honey, yet his conduct on the inquest deserved and would meet with general reprobation. The speakei said he should not vote if the motion were pressed. A long and stormy discussion followed, in which Mr. Hun- CONDE and Mr. EICK E supported the motion, and Mr. T. N. Wi L Limas pressed his amendment, that the matter should be referred for inquiry to the Gaol Expellees' Committee. Mr. Sheriff Warrii MAN was called into Court by his friends, when Mr. OLDHAM repeated what he had said as to the She riff's conduct on the inquest, &c. Mr. SIieriffWAITIIMAN replied in explanation, saying, that there was no honest man who would not think he deserved' praise for his - conduct ! A show of hands was taken, when a division was demanded bY Mr. T. N. Williams. Before the division took place, Mr. Oldham and * a great number of the Court (which was a very frill one) withdrew. The numbers were as follow :—For the Amendment, Alderman . 1 . . . Commoners . . . 22 Tellers 2 . . -25 For the original motion— Commoners Tellers . -55 • _ _ Majority for the original motion . 30 Sheriff WAIT ir MAN returned thanks, and observed, that rot withstanding the time which h:: had devoted to the service of the Corporation, this was the first mark of their approbation which he had ever received.
