FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignanes Messenger of Wednesday'. PAais, Nov. 7.—A❑ officer who arrived yesterday at Paris from Antwerp, states that eighty mortars are planted in the town so as to throw shells into the Citadel, where General Chasse has only forty. The Phare of Antwerp says :—We have every reason to believe, that in case of any attack upon the citadel, it will be made by the French army alone, in order to de prive General Chasse of all motive for bombarding the town. Nodrmonstrations will be made from this quarter, hut if the Dutch troops should attempt to set fire to any part of the town, then, and then only, will the Belgians interfere and make use of the immense resources they have at command, to avenge themselves of an act of which the Dutch Government is perhaps alone capable." The Handelsbladof Amsterdam contains details respecting the health of the army in North Brabant, and adds, that on the 30th ult., trials were made of the telegraphs attached to the two brigades of that division, and in less than two minutes, intelligence was conveyed by them to a distance of upwards of six leagues. Thus, these telegraphs, placed near elevated towers, may, in less than a minute, corn *unicate all the movements of an enemy. The Swabian Mercury gives the following, under date of Berlin, Oct. 28 :—" It is again asserted, that although th e Prussian Cabinet has consented to the armed inter vention of France and England in the questions between Holland and Belgium, our troops on the Rhine are, never theless, being reinforced. The Con corps, in particular, has received orders to hold itself in readiness to march. It must not, however, be supposed that Prussia is about to interfere; but it may be presumed that these reinforce ments are collected for the purpose of providing against the non-observance of the conditions upon which the acquiescence of Austria and Prussia has been granted." Charles X. arrived at Prague on the 25th ult., and on the same day the Duke de Firzjatnes arrived there also, and dined with the Ex-King. On the 27th the Duchess of Aneouleme reached the same town. The 4th Electoral College of the D --- .)rdogne is convoked at Linde for the 30th inst., to elect a Deputy, in conse quence of the promotion of M. Valleton de Garrauhe to he Colonel of the 38th regiment of infantry, and the 6th College of the department of Finisterre is convoked at Quimperle for December 1, to elect a Deputy in conse quence of the promotion of M. de Keratorial to be Colonel of the 134th regiment of Infantry. A general statement of the foreign commerce of France, for the year 1831, just published, shoos that it was less tha n in 1830. The following is a comparative table of both years:— 1831. 1830.

On Sunday, at Brionne, a sumptuous entertainment, at Which about 400 electors were present, was given to Messrs. Dupont de I'Eure, Legendre, Dulongs, and Bioche, Deputies for the Department of the Eure. The Spectateur of Dijon states, that the colour of the Cantonal Battalion of the National Guards bad always been deposited with the Guards of Sainte Reine, that place being the point of meeting of the battalion, and also the residence of the commander. The National Guards 0 1 Bussple-Grand, who belong to the same battalion, lately seized the colour, and carried it off; and, upon their comrades of Sainte Reine applying for it, refused to give it up. The Mayors interfered, to prevent a collision, and lent an account of these proceedings to the Government, by whose orders four companies of the 53d regiment of the line were sent to Bussy to take the flig, and restore hto Sainte Reine. The National Guards of Bussy-le- Grand have been dissolved by a Royal ordinance, and, it said, that the parish will have to pay the marching ex- Penses of the troops of the line. The Courrier de r Ain relates that, at the urgent de. band of the officers of the 23d regiment of the line, in garrison at Lyons, two officers have just been dismissed front that corps as Carlists. By a letter from Montpellier of the 31st ult. we learn that the following is the accredited cause of the late asses ainatiOll of Dr. Delpech :—M. Demptos, after being tured of the complaint for which be placed himself in the hands of the Doctor, paid his addresses to a young lady of Bordeaux, and demanded her in marriage of her parents, who, however ; refused their consent. This refusal he at tributed to indiscreet revelations of his physician, and re solved to revenge himself. It is also stated that some Years agn he formed another project of marriage, which be conceived was defeated by the ill offices of a notary, and then committed some acts of violence upon the latter, for which he was indicted and sentenced to imprisonment for four years. The Dunkirk Journal gives the following from Honds cbonte:—" A Magistrate of this canton being lately called to affix seals upon the effects of a person who had recently divd, was with his assistants making the usual exami nation of the apartments, when he came into a dark r oar of only a few feet square, and there found alive the wife of the dec-aced, who had not been heard of for up %yards of 15 years, during which time she had been shut up the place where she was discovered.

Unless, therefore, the majority choose to become the minority, the Ministry must, it contends, carry the Ad dress triumphantly. Le National maintains that the Opposition will con tinue firm and compact, and that no part of it will go over to M. Dupin, although it will gladly receive him and his party if they will join the existing Opposition, and frankly adhere to the compte rendu. It repels the idea of any schism existing between the extreme gauche and the party of Messrs Latfitte and Odillon Barrot. Le Temps eulogises the Government for its commuta tion of the sentences of the insurgents of June, and calls on it to continue a similar course, by relaxing the rigour with which political offenders are treated in the prisons, and particularly not to hesitate in allowing them to he transferred to a Maison de Sante, when (as is the case with several prisoners now in St. Pelagic), their state of I health requires their removal. La France Nouvelle says, that it c=ot attach any credit to the note of the Russian Envoy to the Conference, until it has more impartial authority for it than the Albion. The mere f ict of the dissolution of the Conference, is, it contends, perfectly natural, as its labours were at an end the moment France and England undertook to carry its resolutions into full effect. Le Messager des Chambres considers that Russia will not be satisfied with a silent disapproval, but will, either by herself, or by Austria and Prussia, actively oppose the proceedings of France and England against Holland. Le Journal du Commerce argues that the treaty of the 15th of November depended for its validity on the ratifications; that the ratifications contained a proviso that force should net be resorted to without the consent of all the Powers; that such consent is refused ; that therefore the ratifications, and, consequently, the treaty, are null and void, and that the measures of France and England can not, therefore, be based upon that treaty. It adds, that the real object of England in proposing the blockade of the Dutch ports, is to induce France to sacrifice her own maritime principles respecting blockades, and adopt those of Great Britain, which she hopes to obtain, by having the command of the expedition. As, however, the conse quences of the blockade must he laid down in the Conven tion, it calls on Government to lay that Convention before the public ; adding, that if it sanctions any abandonment of French principles, the Alinisters who Inane concluded it are guilty of high treason.

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 9, 1832. There appears to be a general impression in the diplomatic circles this morning that there will be no war with Holland, but we cannot ascertain that any thing fresh has occurred to warrant the opinion. It is known that the last despatches from Berlin to the Prussian Minister do not contain any instructions to Baron Bu- LOW to assure Lord PALMERSTON of the in tention of Prussia to remain a passive spectator of the invasion of Belgium under whatever; circumstances ; but, on the other hand, the re peated declarations of the Russian and Prussian Plenipotentiaries that there will be no war, imply that the same effort will be made to induce the King of HOLLAND to yield the point now in dispute, on an assurance of future support from Russia and Prussia, as to tilt chief points of the treaty of the 15th of Nov. It cannot be too strongly borne in mind thai the surrender of the Citadel of .Antwerp is a question totally distinct from the terms of the proposed treaty between Holland and Belgium. The Belgians demand the free navigation of the Scheldt, which the Dutch refuse to grant—the navigation of the waters of Holland, on payment of a toll of one florin per ton ; whereas the Dutch, we believe, demand three, and a direct communication with Germany, by which the trade from England would pass through Belgium. This also the Dutch refuse to concede. It is evident, therefore, that the surrender of the citadel of Antwerp will not of itself materially advance the Belgian Question, unless the British and French Cabinets, satisfied with this show of power should treacherously abandon the Belgians on the main points of a treaty which they have pledged themselves to en force. German Papers of the 3d inst. inform us that he Hungarian Diet is to be opened on the 16th of December by the EMPEROR in person, when his MAJESTY will no doubt learn from that patriotic Assembly how much they sympathis e in the wrongs of hapless but heroic Poland. Much anxiety prevailed at 'Vienna respecting the uncertain state of political affairs in Holland and Belgium : IrrENNA, OCT. 27.—Onthe 24th inst. his Imperial Ma jesty issued the Royal Letters Parent, convoking a Diet of the kingdom of Hungary, and the countries connected with it, to meet at Presburg on l)ec•ember 16 this year. His Ma jesty the Emperor and King will open the Diet in person, which would have met last year but for the cholera, which desolated the kingdom. The Emperor is still at Schou hrunn, where his Royal Highness Prince William of Brunswick dined yesterday, and the Duke of Anhalt Coethen to-day. It is said the Imperial Court will leave Schonbrunn on the 6th of next month, and come to the palace in Vienna. There is considerable agitation on 'Change. The spe culators for a fall, take advantage of the opening speech of the King of Holland to the States-General, but with little success, as the 5 per Cents. have remained for some months at above 87, with fluctuations of 3-16 to 5.16. However, the great shareholders are now afraid, and re fiain from further purchases, in apprehension of war, of which it must be owned there are some indications. We may, however, still depend on the prudent policy of the Great Powers, which are more anxious than ever to pre serve Europe from great calamities. Yet trifling events, occurring contrary to all calculation, sometimes defeat the best intentions. We expect with some anxiety the next accounts from Berlin, as they may be decisive. M. Von \Vernier, who was at Toplit!, while the King of Prussia was at that place, has returned, but nothing has transpired respecting the object or the result of his mission. The sailing of the English and French fleet is not likely to produce any great change in the state of political affairs ; fur the Cabinet of the Hague has taken such measures for the defence of the Dutch coasts, that little can he appre hended from a blockade, which, in the winter season can neither he general nor complete. On the ether hand, the trade of England may suffer severely. It is, therefore, generally thought here that when, after the lapse of some time, the Cabinets shall be sensible of the fruitles , ness of their enterprise, they will again have re course to negotiations, unless they purposely drive matters to extremity, which is not probable.

VIENNA, OCT. 27.—The Countesq of Marne with her niece; (the Countess Romy) left Vienna yesterday fore noon for Prague, where the Count of Pouthieu and the Count of Chambord were to arrive yesterday or to-day. Frankfort Papers, Nov. 1. We learn from Santa Martha, that General SANTANDER had arrived there, and proceeded to Bogota, where General OBANDO only awaited his arrival, to proceed to settle the affairs of the South. By advices from Malta we learn that, in co sequence of the arrival of two Greek vessels (tile Miltiades and the Achilles) from the Island of Syra with foul bills of health, oc• casioned by the death of two passengers and a guardian, the Board of Health had ordered the quarantine on all vessels coming direct from the Islands to be extended to 30 days, and from other Greek possessions vessels were subject to a quarantine of 25 days. The private advices from Madrid continue to speak of the great change effected and effecting in the ►neasures of the Spanish Government. An entire change in the Ambassadors was intended, and it was believed the Duke de FRIAS would be the Ambassador from Spain to London. The disarming of the Royal Guard was to be followed by the establishment of a National Guard, and many corps of the Royal Guard were to be remodelled. M. MARTINET. DE LA ROSA, it was expected, would be Minister of the Interior. MORILLO had left to take the command of Galicia and General LEANDER, had been named Captain General of Catalonia, in place of the Count d'EsPAGNE, who had been appointed a Councillor of State. It appears that the Carlist party had been circulating some very inflammatory proclamations in the capital, inciting the people to revolt, and that the police were very active in discovering the authors, and several parties had been arrested on suspicion. A Royal order had been issued, by which the duties of entry upon prussiate of potash had been fixed at 2 reals 8 maravedes, if imported in Spanish vessels, and three reals , if under a foreign flag. An autograph letter had been written by the Queen, CHRISTINA, to the King of the FRENCH for a list of all Spanish emigrants in France willing to profit by the amnesty. It was understood that immediately on receiving this list the Cortes would be convoked. The Spanish Government had is sued an order to the Ambassador from Naples to quit Madrid in eight days. Changes were about to be made in almost every branch of the magistracy, but great fermen tation is said to exist in the provinces where the Carlist party possessed great influence. Plans for Church Reform are now springing up, thick as mushrooms, in all directions. Not only are the laity zealots in the cause, hut even the Clergy themselves are stepping forth in the ranks of the Reformers. The latest pamphlet Mit have met with on the subject, is one by the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, who boldly says, " to restore to the Clergy their due hold on the affections of the people, some commutation of tithes must be adopted. The times call for—the sacred cause of religion itself demands it." So then, the hi g h di gn i tar i es ot the Church have at length made the discovery that the tithe system is inimical to " the sacred cause of religion !" Really, this is a sign of the times without parallel ; a heresy on the part of the or thodox which absolutely sets us agape with wonder ! It is but a few--a very few, years since old Mother Church held it as s oundest of all sound doctrines ; that the tithes were of divine origin, an express institu tion of the giver q f all good things (for so, with characteristic propriety have our high church pluralists been in the habit of styling the Deity), and that to interfere, amend, curtail, or in any way meddle with such an express celestial insti tution, was the surest possible way to call clown the Divine displeasure. The bare idea of such officiousness would have been looked on as flat blasphemy ten years since. Yet now the starchest orthodoxy can bear to dwell on it with complacency ; nay, more can discover that, what was a " divine right" in 1822, is a moral wrong in 1832; and that the tithe sys tem, so far from having anything to do with Jehovah, has a much nearer and dearer connex• ion with Mammon. Fortunately for Mother Church, she has made this discovery in time. A year's longer delay, and that shocking liber tine, the public, would have taken sad liberties with the old lady. Not a rag, not even a lawn sleeve, would he have left her. She must have stood forth to the world in all her naked unlove- liners. The Church, we repeat, has discovered its blunder just in right time. We hope, there fore, it will show as much tact in amending, or at least in assisting to amend it. Judging from the pamphlet before us, there appears to be no want of address on the part of the higher ecclesiastical dignitaries, in pro jecting Church Reform, though we could desire to see a little more zeal and disinte restedness. We subjoin the proposition of the Bishop of BATH and WELLS, simply premis ing that it has one leading object—excessive and fastidious moderation. It is of the bit-by-bit, and as-little-as-needs-be school of Reform. In a word, it is thoroughly and unreservedly epic. copal : " It may be presumed, from the measures and inquiries of Government, that the question of tithes will soon be brought under the consideration of the Legislature. Until that evidence shall be produced it might appear presump tuous in any individval to detail the particulars of a plan for obtaining the object aimed at. The author, therefore, merely ventures to observe, briefly-, that a committee of our legislative body might, in the first place, be chosen, to determine upon the best mode for effectuating a general commutation of tithes for land. That a commission might then be issued, under legislative authority, appointing the most respectable personages in each diocese or district commissioners fur accomplishing the measure agreed upon; and that subcommittee, might afterwards be fixed upon by them for each parish, consisting of the patrons and in cumbents of the livings, together with the most respect able occupiers of land in the same, or in the neighbour hood. These might appoint a surveyor, by whom the average value of the benefice, for the last 7, 14, or 21 years, should be ascertained. This being accomplished, the tithes of each estate might be sold, under the gua rantee of Government, upon a principle similar to that already recognized in the redemption of the land-tax; and with the amount arising from such sales, land might be purchased, and buildings, where necessary, erected, for the benefit and remuneration of each tithe-owner." Considerable anxiety is felt at the French Em bassy, as to the portion of the French squadron which has been separated from ours in the gale. In consequence of the state of the weather, no telegraphic communication respecting it has this day been received. The impression in Paris, according to the Papers of Wednesday, was favourable to peace, but preparations were going forward, notwith standing, to prosecute the war with spirit, if ne cessary. In order to preserve Antwerp from bombardment, the French army only is to attack the citadel, the Belgians being confined to neu trality. This is all very fine in theory, but we do not think it will work well in practice. The whole question of a general war depends on the conduct of Prussia; for if that Power is not prepared to risk the consequences of that step, the peace will not be broken, and Holland will surrender the citadel of Antwerp as a matter of pru dence as well as necessity. If Prussia venture on war the Rhenish provinces will pass away from her dominion in a week never to return. And will she risk that for the obstinacy of Holland ? We think not. We direct attention to a letter which will be found in another column, signed " a sincere but moderate Reformer," in which the writer throws out some useful hints respecting the expediency of removing Tory Lord Lieutenants from office. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE 0' CLOCK. Owing to the prevailing north easterly winds, we con tinue without any arrivals of consequence. We are informed that the mails will go to Holland, con veyed by steamers, suffered to carry passengers, but no freights of goods, and will return on the same conditions. This has been arranged with the Dutch Ambassador here. All the city speculators, as well as those concerned with Holland, are anxiously looking to the 15th instant, the day set down for the commencement of hostilities against Antwerp; therefore, until that period, it is impossible to judge of the event of peace or war. According to every appearance at present, the King of Holland continues firm, and will not give up the citadel of Antwerp; but as long as the Dutch Ambassador continues here, there is still hopes of an arrangement.

It is the general opinion among the well informed on the affairs of Holland, that a war with that Go vernment will be prevented : and, we understand, that the Dutch Ambassador is going to have an interview with Bid Grey this day. The dense fog this morning, and the Lord Mayor's procesion, caused a thin attendance on 'Change. Con sols have been during the whole of the morning at 831 for the Account, with scarce a b trgain doing. Dutch Stock and Spanish Bonds have rather improved. THREE 0' CL 0 C.K.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat to-day at 11 o clock. He appeared rather pale, and has not got qui'e rid of his cold. He was obliged to leave the Court for short periods several times in the course of the day. THE COURT. The Court has undergone considerable alterations since the last sittings in it terminated. The roof had sunk many inches, and upon examination it was found necessary to take the whole of it down. It was accordingly re— moved, and subsequently replaced in a more substantal and safe condition. There is a large flat window ex tended across the base of the dome which formerly was an entire open space. This, with a wainscoting partition, substituted for the drop cloth curtain which separated the interior of the Court from the passage, in a great measure prevent the tremendous drafts that heretofore greatly an noyed those whose duty compelled them to be in attendance on the Court. These alterations permit the Curt to be heated to a proper temperature much more easily, and on the whole form great improvements. WOODCROFT AND OTHERS V. BROOKS AND OTHERS. Sir E. SUGDEN moved, cn the part of the pl intiffs, that the Injunction granted in this cause should be perpetuated according to the terms of the notice of motion. Mr. K. Parker (the Learned Council had been informed,) was instructed to appear on the other side to consent to the order as prayed for.—lnjunction perpetuated. BUSINESS OF THE COURT. After a short conversation between the Bench and the Bar, upon the state of the business, and the position of some heavy cases that had been appointed before the ♦aca tion to be beard on certain days, it was directed by the Court, that " Blakemore v. Glamorgaushire Canal Com pany," which stood for Monday, should stand for Tues. day; that "Coleman v. Smithies," " Lloyd v. Twining," and " Smithies r. Smithies," should stand for the first day of appeals after term, and that none of the cases ap. pointed for Monday next shall come on on Monday, Ttus. day, or Wednesday. VICE-CHANCERY COURT.-(THIS DAY, His Honour the VICE CHANCELLOR was occupied the whole morning with the part-heard motion of Hutt v. Alloop, which we shortly alluded to yesterday. The bill was not concluded when our reporter left. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PURCELL V. MACNAMARA. This case came before the Court upon the petition of be representatives of the late Mr. Whitton, the Solicitor of King's Road, praying that an order obtained by Mrs. Margaret Purcell might be set aside on the ground of hav ing been improperly obtained from the Court, by that lady and her solicitor Mr. Cooke. His Honour the Mama of the RoLLs, after the case had been argued, said that Mr. Whitton, as the mortgagee and creditor of Mrs. Francis Purcell, being in possession of certain estates in the West Indies, by his consignee and receiver under the order of the Court made in 1826. Mrs. Margaret Purcell, as the represen tative of Mrs. Frances Purcell, in the month of February, 1832, applied to the Court by petition as on consent, taking no notice whatever of the order of 1826, by which Mr. Whitton was in possession, and obtained any order that she should be put in possession of the estate in ques tion. In the opinion of his Honour, if the parties who proceeded to obtain that order, were aware of the previous order of the Court, it would be fit that they should be visited with the utmost severity. In the affifavits which had been filed, those parties at tempted to excuse themselves for several reasons. In the first place they had stated that the order of 1826 was an order irregularly obtained by Mr. Whitton, and they were entitled to treat it as a nul lity. An application was made by them to the Lord Chancellor to discharge that order, which his Lordship bad thought proper to discharge with costa. In his opinion, if the facts were as the respondents had stated, there would have been no justification in the course pursued by the parties to obtain the order which it was the object of the present petition to discharge. Another reason was that Mr. Whitton had not a demand to the extent of the security which he had obtained from Mrs. Frances Pur cell. There had been no evidence whatever brought before the Court upon that subject ; but if even the allegation was true, it formed no excuse what ever for the conduct of the respondents, as their proper course would have been to have adopted steps to have the amount revised and corrected. Another reason was, that the parties were not aware of the ex istence of the order. Mr. Cocker had sworn positively to that fact, and the Court was therefore bound to believe it. It was further said, that Mrs. Margaret Purcell had also no knowledge of the order. In the opinion of his Honour that would not excuse her from the pay ment of costs, for Mr. Whitton's estate could never be burdened with the costs of a proceeding, which had been brought forward fur the purpose of correcting that which had beon done by Mrs. Purcell. There was greater reason to question the accuracy of Mrs. Purcell's statement, and the letter on which the Lord Chancellor made up his mind, that she was aware of the order, strengthened his Honour in that opinion. On the part of Mr. Cocker, it was said that he ought to have his costs. His Honour did not see how he could give him his costs, when there was so much reason for the institution of the present proceedings, and making him a party. It was true he had by his oath relieved himself from the charges which had been brought against him, but the Court could not give him his costs. His Honour therefore felt himself called upon to grant the prayer of the present petition, discharging the order com plained of, observing that those who were agents in im iroper proceedings, were as liable to the vindictive pro cess of the Court, nor could principals, though their agents had acted improperly, escape. KING'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) DOE, DEM. HUNGATE V. CLAPHAM AND GASCOIGNZ. Mr. Serjeant JONES moved f or a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial in this case, on the ground that the Jury found a verdict for the defendants, contrary to the evidence. There had already been three trials between the same parties, and respecting the same property. The lessor of the plaintiff claimed three divi sions of property, viz., property whieh originally be longed to the family of the Hungates, and detailed by two deeds of 1662 and 1682 ; secondly, property which he claimed as heir -at-law of the late Sir T. Gascoigne, and which formerly belonged to the Hungate family, and thirdly, property which had been devised by the will of Robert Huogate. On the first trial the Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, thereby establishing that b• was , , ~ nant in till. .% tit; was cartiad down, and afterwards a anti!, which was trio t at the List Yo k Assizes. acid a verdict found for the defendant, theieby negativing the fact of the plaintiff, being heir at law to Sir Thomas Gascoigne. The main questions on the last trial were as to the plaintiff being the heir at law, and also to the legality of a will dated 1809. As to the former point, it appeared on the trial to be este. /dished, and no attempt was made to disprove it, so that the only question that was particularly left to the Jury was, respecting the will of 1809. The Jury therefore in finding the plaintiff not to be the heir at law, had occa sioned great surprise not only to him (Mr. Sergeant Jones), but also to the Learned Baron (Rolland) who tried the cause. The COURT intimated their intention of speaking to Mr, Baron Bolland before they gave an opinion. Mr. WHITE moved for an attachment against a person, whom he did not name, for a contempt, in not obeying a subpcena issued from this Court. It had been found that it was exceedingly difficult to enforce subpoenas issued by the Courts of Quarter Sessions, and in the present instance it had been deemed necessary to obtain a subpcena from the Court, to compel the attendance of a person at the Middle sex Sessions. The subpcena was "served, and a shilling given with it, hut the party refused to c bey it. The CouRT granted a rule to show cause. BAIL COURT:-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice LITTLEDA:f: and a Common Jury Were C , C. , cupied all the morning i.a trying a cause in which Sit ' Claude Scott and Co., bani:'ers in London sought to rt.. cover 1,000/. and interest ft um Sir T. S. M. Stanley, late Sheriff of Cheshire, for neglect of duty, in al lowing a person named Newninula 2 , ) escape from his custody. The cause was proceeding► when ou.' reporter left. EXCHEQUER COURT.-( rHIS DAY.) The Court having disposed of a few unimportant mo• tions, proceeded with the special paper. Their LORDSHIPS rose at half past one o', (lock, and re turned at two o'clock, in order to receive t, 'le new Lord Mayor. The civic procession arrived a few minutes when the Recorder presented Sir P. Laurie, who was addressed by the Lord Chief Baron on his appointment. The late Lord Mayor was then sworn to render true accounts of all moneys due to his 'Majesty. Lord LYNDITURST said, in consequence of the nab of the late Lord Tenterden, their Lordships would not Otend at the festivities at Guildhall this day. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—It is obvious, that a long period of T cry' government, has produced such a prepondere; cre of Tory Lieutenants of Counties, that at this n ment, its power (which is very great) is operati.v as a clog to the measures of the King and his Mi nisters, instead of a support. Although there aze precedents in plenty where Lieutenants have been dismissed for opposing 31inisters, still, in spite of the great evil felt by the people from the power of these, it perhaps would be too strong a measure to follow these precedents by a dismissal of the Tory Lords, and supplying their places by those wkt have distingui s h e d th emse l ves b y supporting 141, heavenly measure of R e f orm ; st ill i t appears cc; 'methe duty of E ar l G re y to a d v i se hi s INlajesty take some steps to show his people that a propel.- , exer eise of his prerogative upon this eccasion„_ arr,, a i d be for their benefit—the first wish of his hat-', The first step should be for his Majesty 4 . 0 s i gn i fy to the Duke of Beaufort, that his tnotrop4ly of three counties is now considered as a remnant of corrup tion which ought to cease, calling therefore upon his Grace to make choice of which of the th ree counties he wished to retain. The same to the Earl of Lonsdale. It would be an easy task to enlarge upon this important subject, important, because if it, or some such measure, should not be adopted, there is no doubt but the whole great measure of Reform, will be (to say no more of it) in danger. Your unflinching exertions in the cause of the people render your pages deservedly popular; the same spirit may perhaps induce you to admit these short observations in a corner of your most influential Journal.
