LONDON,

FRIDAY, Sarrsmsse 29, 1820.

Mr. Aldermen Wriyarerx and Mr. WILLIAMS
were yesterday, at she Common Hall, invested with
the offices of Sheriffs for she ensuing year. They
will this day attend at Guildhall fur she election of
Lord Mayor; and on Saturday. attended by the
LORD MAYOR, City Officers. &c. they will go by
water in the city barge to Wesiminater, and he pre-
sented to the Barons of the Exchequer, and go
through . the usual absurd ceremony of cutting
notches in a stick and counting hob-nsile.
A Special Common Hell was held et oae

TY'S AllOref to the Address voted on the 30th June
last. The Answer was mad by the of the
Court, and, on the motion of Mr. FATRLI, entered
on the Jouraot4. A report of the peoceediogs.on
this occasion will be found in another pot of our
Paper.

It must, we think, prove extremely gratif)ing to
the public in general to be informed, that • pro.
minetit member of the Ministerial Press has ■t
length resolved to put himself forward ass moral
teacher, and correct the contagion of vicidos prin-
ciples. There is a gond old proverb. 44 Never tu•
late to mend," which, will occur to the minds of
our readers on receiving this piece of 'tufo/mafiosi.
The journal to which we refer his, since the coin-
mencerneut of the irroceedinv against theQUZEN,
lithoured se ►trenuously by every means to under-
mine the moral character of the country, that it
will no doubt prove extremely irksome to it at first
to support its novel character.
The proceedings against the Queen in them-
selves offer a violence to the first principles of
moral rectitude, for they contravene the institutions
of she Stew, which have their foundations in jar.

religion; yet these proceedings have been violently
supported by our new 'moralist. Justice and ho.

We have received Pins Papers of Sunday and
Monday last. The proceedings in Parliament
against our Questr excite, es must be supposed,
a very deep interest throughout the Coutineut,
and circumstances occasionally transpire, eves
through the thick mitt which the precensorship
casts over the public press. which mark the mingled
feelings of surprise and indignation with which they
are viewed. It will be recollected that Ba►Ms
Krantz, the sinuous chambermaid at Car

who had been elevated to thit rank from having
been a pot-girl in a German tavern, in which situa-
tion female virtue would be regarded not merely as
an uncommon. but as an anuecessary quality, had
stated, that she had been first spoken to about her
testimony against the Queen by the Wirtemberg
Minister to the Court of Baden. This was under-
stood at Csrlsruhe to mean bone other than the
Count de Gst.t.ssan, and we Dow find that the
Count has authorised the Horniest to declare. that
he never had held any communication with Krantz
upon the subject. We are not surprised that a
woo or honourable feelings should indignantly repel
the imputation. that he could have stooped to the
filthy office of collecting the materials of scandal
to vilify as. llustrious Lady fur the gratificatioa of
private malice.
