whilst they complained of being prevented from

the Lord Mayor came forward. He spoke to the

in his rlrorls to address the Livery ; great tumult
followed, some calling out " Bear him." but by fur

LON DON.

SATURDAY, Noveusca SO, mg.

The Livery of Loudon are on the alert in the de-
fence of their privilege., and we wish them the suc-
cess they merit : they contend not merely for a
right peculiar to then►sstves alone, but in their
quarrel is involved whatever is must dear to every
Englishman. The city of London is the strung
hold of British freedom, and should the Livery-
men fail in establisliii.g as their right a practice
which has prevailed since the Revolution, • serious
ii jury will be inflicted upon the cause of liberty in
general. It is extremely fortunate, that, in this
hour of danger, tire Civic Chair should be filled by
a Gentleman influenced by constitutional princi-
ples, sincerely desirous of maintainitig the rights
and privileges of the Livery, and capable of secur-
ing the esteem and confidence of his fellow-citizens.
A Common Hall was held yesterday, for the
purpose of collecting the reuse of the citizens of
London respecting the proceedings instituted by the
Court of Alderme►r sgainst Mr. Alderman W•rrii-
sus, Mr. Sheriff PA awl others, for their con-
dust in the Guildhall on Michaelmas-day. Several
Resolutions were unanimously passed, asserting the
right of the Livery to express their opinioi►a upon
public matters at all times when assembled in Com-
mon Hall, censuring the conduct of the Court of
Aldermen in this ungrateful attack upon the rights
of the City of London, censuring the lute Loud
Mayor, and forbidding any of the City funds to
be appropriated to support an attack upo:► their
privileges.—(See advertisement.)—A very copious
report of the proceedings which took place on this
very interesting occasion will be foussd in our Paper
this day.

A Common Council has been summoned to meet
on Thursday next, to conigider the same subject,
when similar Resolutions will. we hope, be adopted.

A motion was very unexpectedly made by Mr.
Caterer on Thursday in the Court of King's
Bench, for a criminal information against one
GOODALL, the high constable of Coventry, for
having illegally and riotously dispersed a meeting
of the people held in that city on Monday last, for
considering the 'yenta which occurred at Manche*.
ter on Monday the ifith of August. By the affi-
davits presented to the Court, it appeared that the
meeting had been legally convened, and was pro-
ceeding with propriety and decorum to fulfil the
objects for which it had sssembled, when Goon.
Att., at the head of a large party of constables,
rushed into the crowd, and with circumstances of
great violence dispersed the meeting. Some per-
sons were severely wounded by the bludgeons of
the constables ; but however this circum►tance may
in a personal action he supposed to aggravate the
assault, it is a matter that sinks into insignificance
when compared with the outrage offered to the
dearest rights and privileges of the people. Doubt.
less GOODALL hoped by his officious zeal to render
himself acceptable to the Ministers ; but it is im-
possible thut an act of unnecessary and brutal vio-
lence, which must exasp?rate the people, could he
pleasing to those in power, who are trembling for
the tranquillity of the country, sad no less unlikely
is it that the Ministers and their party, who ex-
claim so loudly fur the security of the constitu-
tion, could countenance a silly fellow in assail-
ing one of its most valuable outposts. The zeal
of is partisan who manifests this quality solely
for motives of self-interest, ought never to be
admitted to stone for a want of discretion, and
in the present state of the public mind nothing
could evince a greater want of prudence than to
widen the breach which uhliappily already exists
between the Ministers and the people. The main
facts of this case stem to be precisely similar to
those of the affair at Manchester ; for with respect
to the outrage upon the constitusionnl rights of
the people, it matters Lathing whether the iwrpe-
tinter' of the violence be dressed in red or black,
whether they be on horseback or on foot, whether
they be yeomanry cavalry or constables, whether
even lives he lost, or only • few heads cut ;—the
only point to lir considered is the infraction of the
public right., and if there be invaded fro punish-
went can be too severe for those who are daring
enough to advise or !perpetrate the act. The
Ministers have not as yet prtiNdged the transaction
at Coventry. but the Coen of King's Bench
granted the conditional rale for a criminal infix-
met ieel.
