This was seconded by Mr. Laturraz, end an*.
tiimously adopted.
The Representatives of the Ward in the Common
'Council were ordered to propose, or support a

The following ResolUtions were then proposed
and unanimously adopted :
That one Thanks are eminently slue to Mr. Alderman

and the other Member. of the Court of Common 'ouuetl,
who, in opposition to the opinion of the Lord Mayor and
millers, soled the excellent Resolutions and loyal Address
upon which the Regent leas •cutleavourell to throw censure,
and more particularly we acknowledge our obliwirons to
ilia Members for this Ward who assisted in the proceedings
of that day.
That our Thanks are due to the Editors of The Thies,
Tice Mornic►t'Cl.rouide, The British Press, and The States-
man, and other Members of the Fere Press of Eartaud, for
their noble and nowtaried efforts to detect and eapose the

Mr. CORDELL rust, sod said, he held in his
hand a Resolution, which was not iu the number
of those which he originally intended 'to submit to
the Meeting, but having been handed to him hr
some Gentlemen who had just drawn it up, he
should submit it to the sense of the Meeing.
That the Representatives of this Ward in Common Coon.

Court to rescind sod erase from its Journals the Vote of
Thanks given to the Lard Mayor—a Vote obtained by false

Mr. LEMAITAE seconded the Resolution, observ-
ing, however, that he did not altogether approve of
the last member of it. Ile did not believe that the

other weak men, lent his ear too readily to

rat yes of this Ward should he instructed to op-
p ~e the general tote of thanks to the Lord Mayor,
ct;t the expiration of his office; but he did not think
such a Resolution should now be passed. In
the generous feeling iticulcoted by the British law,
'he would not have the Lord Mayor condemned un-
heard, and with that Christian hope of emendation
it.apirrd by the place where they were assembled,
he could not debar his Lordship of the power still
veinaining to him of confessing his faults, and turning
even thus late from the 'what& error.—( Laughter.)
'Time still remained, short indeed, but still there
was tinte in which the Lord Mayor may look to the
obligatiocis of his coal, reconsider the nature of his

The Remlutiou was put to the vote, and carried

The meeting was then dissolved, and the people

LONDON,
FRIDAY, SErrEmsER 24, 1819.

The Borough of Southwark, the Ward of lii.
elinpsgate, and the great and populous City of
York, have added their jOdgmerds or condenina. li
Con to those already pronounced against the con-
duct of the Magistrates and yeomanry of Manche'.
ter. For the proceedings at. the several meetings
et tie inhabitants of these places respectively, we
r-!er to the Reports, which will be found in our
preceding columns. The Magistrates begin to feel
a confidence in these assemblies of the people.—and
it is with sincere pleasure we add, that the conduct
cf the people seems in every instance to merit it.—
At York it was especially declared by the Mayor,
that lie adopted no extraordinary measures to pre.
serve the public peace...that he had summoned no
special constables, nor had provided any particular
array of military forcer ; and the result proved how
justly he had calculated upon the good sense and
propriety of his fellow-citizens. Nut • constable
or soldier was to be seen at or near the meeting ou
Ilunslet Moor. The passions of the people were
Lot excited by any ostentatious display of mingled
distrust and defiance, and yet the town of Leeds
enjoyed its wonted security and peace.—The meet-
ing at the Borough yesterday was conducted with
the order and decorum that uniformly clisrecterise
the meetings of the people in that part of the
metropolis, and the objects of the meeting being
accomplished, the peoplelnietly separated ; and the
conduct of the Ward of Bislinpsgate was such as
ri:glit be expected in a society of Gentlemen, by
whom the meeting was far the far greater part con-
stituted, tempered by the presence of many La.
(::es, arid assembled in a place of divine worship,
where an habitual &chug of respect must have the
effect of correcting, in a considerable degree, the
exercise of the more boisterous psesions.
It nyist prove higlil: gratifying to the mired of
every Englishman who reveres the Constitution of
this country, to reflect that an outrage offered by
the stern hand of power to some of the liansbleet of
the people, should operate like an electric shock,
and be felt u a personal injury by every honest and
rul;gbtened man in the empire. The political prin.
ciples of the sufferers, however aboard or danger.

otis, are not permitted fort moment to interfere
and perplex the question, which refers'solely to the
general rights of all the community ; and the peo-
ple prOve themselves vossessed of too much huma-
nity, justice, and understanding. to sanction
offences committed against their fellow-subjects
and the constituted rights of the nation, because,
forsooth, they may be supposed to have flowed from
an over zealous loyalty, and were perpetrated only
against individuals whose opinions may be supposed
to he dangerous to the State.
Further meetings of the people will be held is
other parts of the country on this subject, and we
tr..l that the voice of an indignant people will
never cease to be heard iu every part of the king-
dom, until the vengeance of the laws shall be per-
mitted to take its course ygainat those who have
dared to violate their purity. We are happy to
find that in every public meeting where the out-
rages at Manchester have been considered, with the
exception of the Common Council of London,
where every topic not immediately connected
with that *object was carefully. and perhaps
judiciously excluded, the necessity of an im-
mediate change in the Administration has been
energetically urged. The present Ministers, by
approving measures of so revoltiot • nature, *Mi.
out allowing themselves time sufficient to examine
them, or taking proper means to arrive at a know-
ledge
of the truth, have, in the minds of large bo-
dies of the people, forfeited all claims to public
confidence. The public thus proceed at once to
the source of the offence, and testify strongly awl
most effectually their sense of the transaction. " It
would," said Sir FRANCIS BURDETT. `• afford a
proud topic of reflection to Englishmen, that a par-
ticular Ministry had been turned out of olfice by
the people. for having ventured to approve of rata-
sum which violated one of their proudest and most
valuable rights as citizens of a free country."

We received last night Getman Papers to the
18th instant, one of which cor.tains the f.,llowing
curious paragraph
:
►NTWERP, SEPTEMBER. 18.

We have receivealaccounts from Loudon, stating that the
celebrated banker, M. Rothschild, indignant at the perse•
cutiou of his Jewish brethren in several cities in Germany,
has refused to take bills upon any of the cities in which

the Jews hare experienced ill treatment—that ibis refusal
has thrown great impediments in the way of the commercial
transactions between England and Germany, and that sevrral
English merchants who trade with Germany have beta
obliged to stop payment.

We have just learned that a merchant has ju.t passed
through our City, travelling express from Amsterdam to
London, in order to inform the merchants or this latter city
that an important house at Disnizig has failed, rifler having
put into circulation bills fur large rams, with forged signs.
tures. It is hoped that be will arrive in time to hinder these
bills from bring paid, and, if possible, to secure the sc.
compliers of those who have committed the forge' y.

We have received Paris Papers of Mosday last.
The elections have terminated. We find in the
Journal des Debuts a general table, chewing the
results, which are 37 liberals, among whom are one
regicide, and a soil of a regicide, five royalists, five
ministerialists, one doctriouire, and one dumb/fah.
What the consequences of SO great a change in the
constitution of the Chamber of Deputies may be,
it is now impossible to say. The Paris Papers
CMS the point with much warmth, but we think
with less judgment. Thti hopes of success of the
Royalist party seem to be extinguished, at least for
some time; but eu little does the security of the
kingly 'power seem to be affected by these elections,
as is apprehended by sonic of the Royalist Journals,
that we do not conceive teen the present Ministry
to be endangered.
A telegraphic dispatch announced to the people
of Paris, that u violent insurrection had broken out
at Glasgow. The Ministerial Journals of this
country are fraught with such disgusting falsities,
respecting the state of the pub is mind in Esw-
land, that it is not surprisieg that foreigners should
ruisinierpret a popular meeting into a seditious as-
sembly, mud a partial riot into an open rebellion.
Naturalists speak of no animal more filthy than one
that begrimea its own habitation.

Brussels Paper* of the 2.lst of September have
reached our Office, hut their contents are not very
interesting. A letter from Iron mentions that ac-
counts received frnin the Havanna!' represent Me-
mu.. as in a desperate condition., from which
nothing hut the immediate departure of the grand
expedit from Cadiz can relieve him. The yellow
fever still prevails in the Island of Leon, and is said
to have certainly extended its ravages to Cadiz,
where some people have died of it. The utmost
precaution.. against its further extension are perse.
veringly exercised.
A Russian Ukase was published on the 3 lit of
July, for the levy of two men out of every 500, for
the compktion ..f the regiments and the manning
of the navy. When the Emperor was at Archon.
gel, two ships of war were launched.

The following is an extract of a letter from
Gibraltar, dated Sept. 4: —" We are extremely
sorry to ►ay, that our communicatiou with Spain
closes shis evexissg, ou accoutre of the fever iu
Critic"
We have received advice. from Jamaica to the
17th July, at which time the island was perfectly
healthy.
