Fills IV DS .OrTHIS, LORD MAYOR.
Yesterday the frimalkafthe Lord Mayor. filet at
the Loudon Tian% -Vishopogate-str#et, for the
purpose of invident Mtn, Lordship to become A nii-
didate for the represitiatista of the city Paths-
ent, and fur mains the necessary \realignments
'for securing his vetoes..
Si! C. limn being called to thethair, com-
menced the business of the meetiog. It must be
cause of great gratification. lessen!. to his HOnour-
able and very Worthy Friend. the Lord Mayor.
that so Many respectable and newtons Gentlemen
had gathered there, having fee their object to
semen his returo'n erne the. in Parliament. For I
himself he had only hoe Anson fir regretting that
he had been called to preside over such a Meeting'.
that reason Was, because In the last general elec.
lion he had exerted himself for the interest of a
verfrrespectable and worthy friend of hist Mr.VVil-
son. He felt himself bound to state the reasons
why he had negleited the cause of his worthy and
respectable (rimed on the present occasion. His
excellent friend had not gone through the arduous
duties which devolve .to those who wear the civic
gown. In this respect his claims did not rise so high
as those of the Lord Mayor, .who had gone through
the labours of each of the Civic office* in a manner
which defied exception or censure. Having dis-
posed of his friend, Mr. Wilton. and having men-
tioned the name of the Lord Mayor, he had little
more to say. His Lordship's conduct during his
mayoralty was most exemplary. He had gone
through the duties of that high office under a de-
gree of labour and expense wholly unprecedented ;
fur the situation had, from a variety of circum-
stances. because more laborious and expensive by a
green field then it was even in his (Sir C. Hooter's)
mayoralty. His Lordship had, moreover, till those
virtue and qualifications which were peculiarly
required by a Member of Parliament. The poli-
tidal is Well as'the commercial interests of the City
required an attention in the present representation
of the City. Formerly, there were three Members
at least on what he called the constitutional side;
now there was only one on that side, and there wen
three en the other. Ae Mist declare that this was
not a fair representation of the political sentiments
of the respectable part of the Livery of London.
Before We 'sit down, he could not but coo-
/emulate the Meeting on the proceedings of
Thursday in favour of a worthy and constitutional
friend of his, Sir William Curtis. He disap-
proved, hbweVer.`of one sentiment which had been
proposed with respect to his election. He alluded
to the plan which hod been recommended of steer-
ing the votes for Sir William only. It surely ought
to be the interest of the Linty to return as mauy
good thP• as possible. On Thursday he had re.
commended Sir %Whales as a tried, constitutional,
and experienced pernii to represent them. He
now offered to their consideration a new man. Ills
Lordship was, hanevror. known to them by the dig-
Inked coollact which he had -ffisplayed during bus
rhtef niegistraiey. hiss chareeter, his high commer-
ial and his literary attaiiiiinents, fully quail.
tied him for their suffrages. They must see how
important • matter it was 'to have representatives
ehnse literary attainments would -secure them.
respect and attention, and whose obliging manners
'stid 'strict integrity would insure Success to their
ilsboart.. The Chairman then rend the Resolutions.

Mr. BARN= being called upon said, that he was
ashamed to hold • situntion so new to him, mid for
which he hod not the slightest previous notice, Mid
course could not possibly have Wade aoy preps-
r3ticih. Being called upon by the Chairman, and
i,eing a friend of the 'Lord Mayor, he could not
rinse to obey the request, and move the'first reso-
iution. _ _ _

Alderman C. SMITH had come into the room
II quite unprepared. and sat expecting by any means
it, be called opoa:; being hoer-over one of the oldest
mcqueintanoes of the Lord Mayor, and having. from
A knowledge of his Lordship's public conduct and
private ohmmeter, a conviction that to one could
he better 'fitted to represent the city of London in
Parliament, be could not refuse to second the reso.
lotion, which he did Meet cordially, as it met with
his moire approbation.
Mr. Fagot said that he was sorry to intrude
upuu the meeting, bet he was anaions that his
Lordship's return should be
,as triumphant as it
!tad been on a late occasion. For this reason he
tw la sorry for ati e'Xpreasion which had fallen from
ilie 'Chairmen. lie begged leave to submit his
opinions to the Committee. and they might reject
or adopt them ea they should think best. As to
the Lord Mayor, he bad not laid out all his time
in the duties of his magisterial Mee. lie had
devoted 'a coosideroble portion of it to objects of
charity aid benevolence. He (Mr. Freese) had

Committee to do their utmost to effect it;, and pip-
ruokrd his most zealous co-operation. •
The CeatsN.tls explained, sod said,. that
nn meant meant any slight to his worthy Pry
%Vilson. iu Inc observations es so dispasiairrof

Into. He only meant, that as far a it regaided
his speech he had dune with -the topic. No one
could more strongly desire the return of Mr. Wil-
son than himself.
Mr. Dixon did not not know the Gentleman
who had spoken last before the Cliairmaii. But
• with all hi. !wart and soul he thanked him fin his
hpinione. They were exactly such as he had al-
ways fell himself. Some of his worthy Friends
had expressed their wishes to serve otte person only.
He was the advocate of the cause, nether than of
soy particular person connected with it. He was
already 's member of the Committee for securing
the election of Sir Wm. Curti*. He want to or.,
fee the same sort of Cervices to secure the return of
the Lord Mayor; slid he should willingly help in
balielf of Mr. Wilson into the bargain.' Some
peetple felt a difficulty about offering to assist two
ler Untie candidates at once. He felt none.
A trim at the lower end of the room now
'coronae a very set and stately speech. the exor-
dium of winch was so lengthened and formal, that
theoeudience became by degrees intractable, aid at
Isla almost every Gentleman in the room became
so afflicted with coughing. that the orator was no
longer to be heard.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the observations of the
Honourable Gentleman, made in favour of the Loral
Mayor, must be grateful to all present. It was
usual, however. for people to feel impatient at such
Meetings whenever any thing took place to preveist
the progress of the business in hand. If tlw Gen-
tleman was really a friend to the Lord Mayor,
which the Chairman thought could not be doubted,
he would best consult his Lordship's iiiterests by
compressing his observations as much as possible.
The orator very obligingly sat down.
Mr. BARCLAY said, that he was very unwilling
to detain the Meeting by any address of Ins, still
less did he wish to occupy their precious time by
making any apology to them. At the same time,
when lie recollected that he was not a Member of
the Corporation of London, and was only con-
nected with the City by being a member of one of
its Companies, lie felt that sonic apology was lit-
dispensable, when, according to the wishes of the
Committee, he came forward to propose the second
resolution. The subject which had brought them
together was so near his heart, that all that it was
within his ability to do fur the accomplishment
of it, he should think, the Committee entitled to
claim from him. rte aimed with the Gentle-
man who had said dm he was more realms
fur the cause than for the indiViduals. The cha-
racter of the Lord Mayor was ever such that lie
might look round with confidence even upon his
itiemies, if he had any, and say. " Which part of
my conduct is disidemoug to you ?" Whwn he
considered the important interests of such a City as
Loudon, and the extreme difficulty of witching
over and preserving those interests in the House of
Parliament. be could not help thinking that the
obligation was wholly ois the part of the electors,
and not on that of their representative. It was
binding, therefore, on the former, and particularly
in the case of the Chief Magistrate of London,
whose situation and duties prevented him from in-
terfering for himself, to do all in their power to
secure .his return. Ile himself knew what it
was to represent a great body of commercial men
having great property 01111 respectability on their
side. It was difficult. under any circumstances, to
represent them paiisfactorily. Every thing should
be done fora person undertaking such an office.
When he saw how unisiy respectable persons were
present, all anxious for the return of that excellent
man the Lord Mayor. lie did not doubt but that
their efforts would fully and triumphantly secure
the object they bought to attain. He pledged
himself to do every thing iii his power, us far as his
i.oor abilities went, to assist beim, and Concluded
by moving the 'wood resolution.
Mr. DLSSA NOES seconded it, and it was carried.
Mr. Jones turned the third resolution. which was
seconded, and carried.
Mr. DRUCK said, the next consideration for the
meeting wa., how to use their efforts so as best to
secure their object. lir approved of dividing the
votes, so as to secure the return of several geed
men. He would do all in hie power to promote the
cause ruler-ally. He would therefore do as much
for the Lord Mayor as for his old stud Hied friend
Sir William Curtis. The usual way of goiug to
work was to appoint a Commuter ; lie therefore
begged leave to make a outline, to that effect ; the
Committee to consist of a number of Knights,.
Baronets. ettel Merchants. whiter names were in a
list which lie held iu his hand, giving them power
to add to their numbers, with Ste C. Hunter fax their
Chairman.
~
Mr. BORRODAILZ seconded the resolution. Car-
ried.
Mr. BARCLAY, before the company separated,
begged them to pat a Resolution, for which he had
no written form, that a deputation. consisti of
their present Chairman, mid four others, M ,
of the Corporation, should wait on the Lord ere.
and Scquaint him with the pleasing intelligence
which had transpired at OW meeting of ' his friends.
Aldermen C. SMITH said that the deputation
would be better formed if chosen out of the inde-
pendent gentry in the room. The Geistlemen of

Highneeb‘s intention of returning to Pesaro iu the
Reath of March.

It is said that a Member of the English Com-
mittee for the promotion of the Emancipation of
the Catholics in Great Britain, who is tiow at
Rome, has made objections to the idea of "Placing
the Scotch seininaryiformerly near the Piazza Btr-
and now removed to St. Eustis* to the
Convent of Cselettintw), which is to be restored
again, under the direction of the Jesuits, to whom
it belonged before the suppression of their order.
This Gentlemen °Metres, that it may excite in
England an impression unfavourable to the Ca-
tholics. It is known that the Ecclesiastics intend-
ed for that kiagdom were educated 1111011 princi-
ples and by men whom public opinion still cows
eider as dangerosi.
According to the Wept accounts from Kentucky,
in North Mimic" Opt. Mutinies's@ have there a
convent, with prietto,:fiew novices, and a small
college of tandems. They provide for the missions
to the di.tance of 30 or 40 leagues. They had
planted a vineyard, which is the first in that great
!province, and already hears fruit. A priest and
two students have taken possession of s uew con-
vent on the river Ohio; they were also labouring to
establish a convent on the river Wasbask. Seven
whole families of Presbyterians have lately em-
braced the Catholic religion. These religious are
now trying to establish a printing preys, in order
to disseminate among the people of that country
useful books of our religion.
Withiu these few days, while snow was falling on
shore, there wet a violent storm at sea; and we
learn, with sorrow, that a Neapolitase merchant-
man has been wrecked at the mouth of the Tiber,
two others at St. Itlariotella, and a fourth at Mon-
talto. The crews of all the four were happily saved.
•RAU, JANUARY 26.
A very remarkable article is in our Journal of
this date.

a We lately saw in the Facet+ pipers an article semis-
leg a party ia switterland of secret aransluv►rs to effect
the union of the Conftderatimi with Germany. The report
of this plan is slated to here kin been in circulation in the
German Crowns. This article, which appeared at once in
several Jsuratls, has hew thought eery arrange; bat the
source or it may perhaps be thought stiff more so. It is
initris Crum the last number of the Revue Getwroise fur
December, and this same Jimmie' spoke six months ago of a
prepusal fur such a union, which was said to have been wade
to our Confederatiee.

dbsorsl as this doable @latrinest is, it is worth while.
since it has btu so widely circulated, to declare Apt it is
absurd. We really do not know whether there are in Geneva
iwople who were so silly as to lay a wager that that city
wonlil be exchanged within a year for Genoa, sad given up
to Sardinia ; and also on the approaching incorporation of
Switaerlasol with Germany; but this we ean assert, that
there is no each report is German Switzerland, and that
no proposal tif the kind has at any time been awl: to
ten/reflood.

" There are, indeed, polilical parties in Switzerisail, they
are cssenlial ingredients in • free State. Them are also
many individuals, or rolerfes, some intimated with well-
...noise seal, others impelled by hurtful or interested pas-
sions, who assume all the colours of these divers exaggera-
tions which the cermet phraseology breeds with the same
of Ultras ; but however different these parties may be, there
is certainly sot one which would be inclined to change
Switzeilawil into • member of the German Confederstioo.
There is, indeed, one kiwi of union with Germany, which is
new reconsimeadeti in German Switaerlead, ;sod persica.

SATURDAY, FIBRUARY 12, 1820.

Yesterday his MAJErry received visits from the
Dukes or YORK and GLOUCRIITER. the LORD
CHANC6I.I.OI, mud the Earl or LIVRRPOOL.

We rejoice to say that his MAJESTY'S health
continues to improve.
~ The Kix° will hold • Council this day, for
pricking for the Sheriff: for the ensuing year.
An Order in Council wus agreed upon at the
Ant Privy Council held by his present MAJESTY,
on Sunday, the 30111 ultimo, for making the ne-
cessary alterations in the Aims of prayer in the
Church of England in the Prayer-Book, in con•
sequence' of the demise of the late KING. which
was intrusted tip the A rrlihishop of CANTERBURY
and the Bishop of LONDON.

On the demise of loos late Most Excellent MA-
JESTY, two of the King's Messengers were sent off
with the 'nelson-holy tidings to the Queen of WILK-
TEMBEIIIO, and the Princess or IFIESSEMORIBBRO.
Preparations are making at Cumberlaud-house,
in the King's Palace, St. James's. for the reception
of the Duke of CUMBERLAND, ►hould his Royal
Highness determine on coming to England in
consequence of the decease of his beloved father.
The some roletervations apply to the Duke of CAM.
BRIDGE, the return to England of both their Hurd
ilighoorsows being uncertain.
The premises or Messrs. FRAN:Ii end BANTtN•
were thronged yesterday by persons who en..
deavoured to force than way in to view the preps.
rations for the state coffin of his late MAJISTY, bet
they were not admitted, owing to the indecorous
and di-orderly conduct of the public in viewing
the state coffin of the late Princess CHARLOTTE.
The crowd became so unmanageable that some
Bow-street officers were obliged to be sent for to
keep them in order. The state coffin of his late
MAJESTY is to lie covered with purple velvet, that
being the mourning for the Sovereign.

We received last evening. BT EXPRESS, the fol-
lowing communication from our correspoodeut at
