TILE LORD MAYOR AN SECRRTARY OF STATE.

—war—
" Whitehall. Nov. 7, 1816.
" My Lord .—Having heard a report, which I trust, will
it prove afouuded, that the procession whi,els has utually passed
by water front the city, to and from Westininster•ltall, on the
Oth day of November, will on Saturday next return by your
Lordship's di rections,from the latter place throtigh the streets
of Westminster, instead of by the river, I think it right to
suggest for your Lordship's consideration, in ease there should
be any foundation for the report alluded to, whether it may
not be desirable and proper to adhere to the accustomed
course of proceeding on such oecasion, instead of adopting
one that is extraordinary and unexpected, and that may be
attended with ccrnsequences stilt it cannot fait to be the
earnest wish of your Lordship to prevent.
" I have the honour, " SIDMOUTH.
" The Right lion. the Lord Mayor,' &c.

" Mansion House.
"My Lord,---I had the honour to receive your Lordship's
letter respecting the procession of to-morrow. lit former
years the pioressiun proceeded to Westminster and returned
by hand. I nth not aware of any Inconvenience that can
arise; but, on the contrary, it will relieve the pressure In
Bridge-street, Ludgate-hill, Stc. by an extesssion.of the line
of procession. I fear, if any alteration take place now, it
would disappoint the people so much, as to create great con
fusion; and in the - -* state of the tir it as- it is
people

; a..— present .. mire, k am surec
your Lordship's wish to keep the in good humour, as
it will be my duty as well as inclination so to do.
" I have the honour, &c. 4, M. MOOD.
" The Right Hon. Lord Viscount Sidmontli," &c.
" Whitehall, Nov. 8, 1816.
"My Lord,—l am just honoured with your Lordship's
letter of this day's date. Having thought it my duty to submit
to your Lordship the observations and suggestions contained
hi my letter of yesterday, I must leave the rieterminatiop
upon the subject to which they apply to your Lordship's own
discretion.
" I have the honour, &c. " SIDMOUTH.
" Tolhe Right Hon. the Lord Mayor," &c.

Whitehall, Nov. 11, 410.
"My Lord,--I had hoped that if your Lordship's purpose
to return in procession through the city of .Westminster on Sa-
turday last had remained unaltered, it would have been made
known by your Lordship to me.
" As High Steward of the city aDd Hinnies of Westminster,
I think it proper to acquaint your Loidship, that Use preser-
vation of the peace of the city of Westminster being' ildrasted
to the legal authorities of the ancient and municipal coon;
established by charter, and by various acts of Parliament re-
lating to that Jurisdictions such a communication. appeared to
be necessary, in order that it might be considered whether
any objection 'existed to the course of procession whick was
proposed ; end in 'ordllr, if no objectioh appeared to exist to
it, that timely and suitable arrangements might be made by
the authorities shove alluded to, for the attendance of the
peace officers of the city and liberties of Westminster in.those
parts *Waugh which the procession was intended 'to pass,
and in which the peace officers of the city of London hate no
authority whatever. ,
" Even withodt the deelaratfon•eodtatned in you!' Lord":
ship's letter of the 7th instant, I should hate felt myself bound
to believe that your Lordship was not aware that the prom*
sionin mlestldn could be thought improper; but as, atter iny
letterg of the 7th and Bth instant, your Lordship could not bat
consider the propriety of the proceeding as at leist tionittfel,,
and as it was ntS'ertheless yonr Lordship's determinatibn to
adopt it without further communication, I feel it to-be my
duty, as High Steward of the city and liberties of Westmin-
ster, to protest, on behalf of the ColleglateChurch of St.
Peter, Westminstet, add of its Court and Officers, against the'
proceeding which has taken place, in order that the saute
coutsemay not be drawn into precedent, and adopted on any
future occasion. _ _

"My Lord,—I have the honour to ackpowledge.yinit Lord-
ship's tonimnitication of the llth instant, in which your Lord-
ship, "as High 'Steward of the city and liberties of Westmin-
ster, has felt.lt to be your ditty to protest on behalf of the
Coliegihte 'March of St. Peter, Westminster, and of its Court
and Officers, against the return In procession, on Saturday
last, through the city of Westminster, in order that the same
course 'may not be drawn into a precedent, and adopted on
any future occasion. In reply to which, I beg to assure your
Lordship, that it, had not come to my kuowledge that your
Lordship was High Steward of the city and liberties of West-
iniaster, nor did your Lordship so designate yourself in your
tatters of the 7th or Stli instant.
I conuuniticateff tat the High ,fitailiff and to Sir Nathaniel
CoonnentSr Intention of reteniftig through the city of West-
' • ter, and hi so doing 1 thought I had complied with all
that was requisite.
" I take leave, mY Lind, further to observe, that the going
,in procession through Westminster is not in violation of ancient
custom, since it appears, front authentic documents, to be the
coarse tbriite'rlyi pursticd.
•6 The Lord Mayor therefore thinks it his duty respect-
fully but firmly., to protest on the part of biteself, the city ot

return froth his Majesty's Chief Baron and Barons of the Es

MONDAY, NOPEMBER 25.

IF the passing events of the day were much more
diversified and more interesting than they are, our at-
tention would still be principally attracted to the in-
ternal condition of our own country. But the fact is,
at present it is almost the only, as it is also the most
interesting subject which calls for observation and en-
quiry. There is a general stagnation of political intel-
ligcnce•----France is apparently tranquil—the Chamber
*has met, but no subjects have as yet occurred to call
forth the ordinary warmth of French parliamentary ora-
tory. The parties seem to be comparatively harmoniz-
ed, and things go on more smoothly than might have
been expected from the councils of a revolutionaly Mi-
nistry, and the opposition of a heated aristocracy. Whe-
ther these appearances are real-or deceitful, it is difficult
to judge. We must wait till subjects of importance,
and calculated to elicit the feelings of opposite parties,
come before the Chamber, as they soon will, then we
shall be able to judge of the dispositions of the Chamber,
and whether they are likely or no• to lead to permanent
harmony and the stability of the Throne. The Budget
will first engage their attention.
It appears that the Reports of a Contract of the
French Government with persons in England, for dis-
tributing water throughout Paris, are without founda-
tion. The following is from the Moniteur:—

" There has been mention in sonic of the Journals of a
contract entered into with an English company for finkhing
the warts of the canal of the Oureq and the Gvette, for the
thqribution of water in Pails, and for furnishing cast•iron
pipes to be brought from England. These rumours have
.pread alarm, and we feel pleasure in announcing that they
are without foundation."

Meetings are still constantly corwening in different
parts of the kingdom, to take into consideration the
state of the poor. One has been held at Dublin, another
at Liverpool; in short, the activity of the higher or-
ders throughout the country seems to be roused in this
benevolent cause. The accounts in the course of the'
week, from different parts of the country are, in general,
of a tranquil nature: we sincerely trust this tranquillity
may last. Let the people remember, that those indi-
viduals who attempt to disturb it by inflated speeches
and exaggerated statements are among their worst ene-
mies; the good of those they profess to commisserate is
not their object: they do not wish to lessen existing
distress; for this would defeat their seditious views :
the more misery they find the better for their purp,:ses:
the discontent and wretcheslness of the lower orders are
the foundation on which they build their hopes of dis-
order and tumult. When they find they cannot excite
the poor these courses, they have done with them; their
professions of benevolence all evaporate: for to relieve
misery would defeat their end ; lessen the fbrce of their
favourite arguments ; and, likewise, be an encroach-
ment on that miserable selfishness which is at the bot-
tom of the charactenrof all these noisy demagogues.
We hope the people have had sufficient experience of
this sort not to be duped by them in future : let them

After a very unusual suspension of intercourse be-
tween this cothitry and France, nine days' Paris papers
arrived on Monday. T'e Legislative Chambers have
gone through all their preliminary business, such as
forming themselves into Bureaux, nominating Commit-
tees, preparing Addresses, and verifying the qualifica-
tions of Members. Sane contested elections were
considered, and the objections to the validity of the re-
turns, as urged by the Ultra-Royalist party, were ne-
gatived by the bureau to which such questiOns are
referred. Five candidates are nominated by the Cham-
ber for the Presidency; viz.—De Serre, Pasquier, Bel-
fart, Itavez, and Beugnot ; the two former, Serre and
Pasquier, were elected, sirtd their names being sub-
mitted to the !Gig, his Majesty made choice. of Boron
Pasquier, the Minister of Justice. Both Chambers had
voted addresses to the Kim; in reply to his speech ' • the
address of the deputies is a moderate and sensible pro-
duction, and augurs well with regard to the future
proceedings of that Assembly. It appears to have

been voted unanimously ; for which his Majesty most
warmly thanked the Chamber, and requested they
would lose no time in entering upon the discussion of
the Budget. That important subject was brought be.
fore the Chamber on the 14th, by M. C,orvietto, Mi-
nister of Finance. Under the present circumstances of
France it would be unreasonbie to lock tbr a very
favourable report of its financial state. When, 'toter
ever, it is considered through what scenes that king.
dom has of late years been doomed to pass, the picture
of its resources presented on this occasion by the
nister or Finance may on the whole be deemed as by
no means bearing a very discouraging complexion. The
instalments to the Allies have all been regularly paid,
as have also their own annuitants and stock-holders •
their funds have maintained a titir price ; public work
are still carrying on; and even- the sciences have not
been neglected. The Minister states, however, that
in consequence of many demands, an arrear of upwards
of eighty-three millions of francs is to be provided for
in the supplies of 1817.

We are glad to learn from the Dutch papen, that the
prices of grain are now on the decline in Holland.—.
Large quantities had arrived at Antwerp.

Tuesday accounts were received from Bombay and
Andras. From the fi,rmer place it is stated, under
date of the 25th June, that a force of 6,000 mcn from
thence was assembling ut Baroda, the object of which
was to effect a treaty of alliance with the Rajah of Jy.
pore. To accomplish this end, Lord Moira was on the
point of taking another journey up the country. From
Madras we learnt that Lord Moira had pre.ailed on the
Rajah of Nagpoor to receive u subsidiary farce. A force
is also to be stationed in Bopaul, and if Scindia will not
receive oneof his own accord, he is to be attacked fbtth.
with ; but rather than quarrel with the British, it is
believed he will submit to the proposition. These ar.
rangementi, it ought to be understood, are intended to
put an end to the further incursions and devastations of
the Pindarees. Their depredations in the Circars have
been dreadful, and the Government is much blamed in
India for having left that part of our possessions so en.
tirely unprotected.
The Russian Ambassador arrived in London on Wed.
nesday about half past one o'clock, in one of the Re-
gent's carriages, to announce.the arrival of his master's
brother in England ; and in a short• time after waited
upon the Prince Regent in a private manner to an.
nounce the event. At five o'clock, the Prince and his
suite arrived at St. Alban's House in eight carriages,
two of them royal, in which were the Prince and his
principal attendants. The Prince's principal attendants
are—

Le Liorutenant-General Koutsuaoff, Aide-de-Camp de L'Emperoo.
Le Counselller Actuel Le Baron de Nichoiay, Le Counselller
d'Etat Actual, Samna; Le Counsedler College, Glinka, Le Lieu-
tenant-Colonel Mangey, Le Captain Perofkey, Demur Crichton.
The Grand Duke of Mecklenlmrgh Strelitz died at
Strelits on the 6th, of a fluxion in the breast. The
Hereditary Grand Duke, who succeeds him, was absent.
That Prince arrived on the evening of the 12th at
Frankfort, from Switzerland, and proceeded the next
day to Strelits, to assume the reins of government. His
Royal Highness was the brother of the Queen of Eng-
land, and father of the great Queen of Prussia, the
Princess of Tour and Taxis, the Duchess of Cumber-
land, and the Duchess of Saxe Hildburghausen. H •
was born on the 10th of October, 174,1.

By the German papers arrived on Thursday, we are
put in possession of tine Address of the States of Win.
temberg to their new King, and of his Mikjesty's an-
swer. Removed as we are at such a distance from the
scene of Wirtemberg politics, we cannot pretend to
judge very accurately of them from these documents;
but they bear at least on the face of them the appear-
ance of a very happy union between sovereign and
subject. The States are profuse in the praise of the
King's conduct as Crown Prince, both in the field
and in the cabinet. They say, that in the sad and
gloomy period of their debasement, he was their joy
and their hope; that he fought and triumphed with
them against the foreign enemy ; and that to his inter.
cession with his deceased flither, the country owes the
first step toward the re-acquisition of its rights. The
King, in reply, explicitly declares his resolution to give
them a representative Government, without which,
he says, the true welfare of the people cannot be se.
cured.

A letter from an officer of the British army in France
says, that by the long continuance of wet weather, the
Plain of Denain, on which the late review took place,
was rendered so deep and heavy, that two horses of the
7th dragoons stuck fast, and, towards the close of the
day, died. So lately as the 10th instant, the weather
in that neighbourhood was little better, and oats, beans,
and clover were lying in the fields spoiling. The Duke
of Wellington strictly forbids officers from sleeping out
of quarters.
THE BeLiPsE.—The Eclipse on Tuesday was visible in
London, thou gh interrupted a little will 'passing drids. In
oialm parts of the country, firm the state of the atmosphere,
;lion who watched this phenomenon must have had a limper-
able oppoi tiredly for ohs, rsation. It commenced at about
eight ntinntes past eieht. The first point of immersion
on the Sitor, disc was at 20 degrees from the vertis of the
.59. as AtAiP4l in the Nautical Alimmaek. The
to cult st observation was at 9.61. and the Eclipse terminated
at 10 hours, 24 minutes.
