COMA/101v COUNCIL.

Yesterday a Court was held at Guildhall, ivbeii a
Variety of business came before them.
The LORD MAYOR acquainted the Court with the
gracious reception which the Address of the City had
Met with from his Majesty ; and it was unanimously
agreed that his Majesty's most gracious answer
should be entered on their Records.

Mr. JACKS said, l►e begged to call the attention
of the Court to the Donation of 20001. which his
Majesty had been graciously pleased to make to the
Society for Relieving Small Debtors. He thought
the Court could not better express their deep sense
of the Royal munificence, than by entering a Reso.
lotion on their Journals to this etfeat : " That this
Court telt-highly gratified, that their Resolution to
grant the sum of wool. to the above Society, had
been followed with such unanimity in every part of
the Country; and that it has now the proud satis-
faCtion of observing that this mode of celebrating
the both Anniversary of the Accession, waiapprov-
ed of by our beloved Sovereign, who has generously
condescended to apply the sum of 20001. to the same
charitable purpose."

Mr. -MILLER submitted, that a donation of so
small an amount from so munificent a Prince, did
not call fcr such particular notice. It Would took
a* if we were surprised that so rich a Prince gave a
sum that had been nearly equalled by the munificence
of priv4te individuals on other occasions. He recol-
letted that Sir F. Burdett lately gave 10001. to the
Aiiddlesex Hospital, and yet he had never received
any acknowledgment for so doing. He hoped the
motion would be withdrawn.

Mr. ;;;(I;niirely from the worthy
Gentleman. It should be recolleaed, that we were
-this day told in the public prints, that his Majesty
l'ad besides given 10001. for the same purpose iu
Ireland, and a similar sum for Scotland. This was
given out of his Majesty's privy purse, and it was
a well known fad, that his Majesty's personal in-
come was by no, means great, and that he was not so
rich as was generally supposed.
Mr. S. Dixori spoke to order. in his opinion, his
(lajesty's circumstances were not at all a proper
subjed for discussion in that place.
The Resolution, was then put, and, carried.
MOORFIELDS.
A Report was then read from the City Lands
Committee, on the subject of an application made
by Sir F. Baring and other Gentlemen, to ered
Buildings on Moorfields, to accommodate the Lon-
don Institution. The Report said, that by the
Charter which gave 01(xgrields to the City, they
Were not entitled to build upon it, or to grant
li-
tense to that purpose. After a good deal of discus-
sion on the subjeta, in which most of the speakers
dwelt on the propriety of affording this accommo-
dation, for the purpose of promoting the interests
of literature and general instruction, it was agreed
that it should be remitted to the Committee to de-
vise means, whether by Aet of Parliament, or other-
wise, to accommodate the Institution.

MR. WARMS.
Mr, KIIINISLE rose to make his promised motion
for rescinding the Resolutiot, y passed by the Court
on the Ist of August last, wl:- u a motion for re-
nding the Vote of Thanks to Mr. Wardle was ne-
T)P atived. fee should first move that the Resolutions

Was not aduated by any party motives in bringing
f_,..orwarcl a motion for rescinding these resolutiouteee-
fie had not asked the *ueetert of any one person on
the present occasion, oil lie did not even know
whether it would be eeee„ded
; but he was convinc-
ed that it would veeetor the honour and credit of the
Court that they should be erased from their journals.
Be did ceeceive that when the Court was regularly
summoned to discuss any motion, of which due pre..
Vious notice was given, be was bound to submit to
the decision of the Court, which must then remain
at rest. Now the Court was especially Convened
on the first of August`, to consider the propriety of
Testiading its vote Of thanks to Colbnel.Wardle.....
A
tthat time he happened to be in the Country, bus
...7 Was much astonished, indeed, white he saw that
_7eetletisen, not content with negativing 40 in°-
(ion, **wilt forward a long string of Resolutions,
which had no necessary conneifition with tbq otter)
and with which the Come could not be aegnainted
from previous notite. Soch being the case, they
ought not, to hiR opinion, to stand on the records
of the Court. This, he veneered, could alone tend
to the credit and honour of the Court, and prevent
them from being taken by surprise in future. If
this precedent were to stand, it would be in the
rower of any man, by giving, no notice of his inten-
tions, and bringing a number of his friends here, to
ant er
carry y
an..
amendment he pleased. He could not
into the question about Mr. Wardle; he
lmerely opposed the Resolutions, on the ground that
tleY were disorderly and unprecedented. He con.
eluded with moving that the Resolutions of the first
of August be rescinded.
Mr. Deputy Box seconde,l the motion. These
tesolutiont went to attac', ti en who were at the
tiaae high h his Majesty's e'c .ncils and Confidence,
end this when no fair notice was given of any
such intention. The Members were not aware of
such a measure being brought forward, and being
Mien by surprise, the Resolutions should be obit-
te-ated.

Mr. Alderman GOODBEHERE did not perceive the
strength of reasons brought forward by the won.
Y Gentlemen. They said they were anxious for
'-ne honour ;and etedit of the Court ; but the fair
141erenne to be dtv.vn from their motion was, that
Whenever these worthy Gentlemen were out of
town, this Court was not to exercise its judgment
c'll any subjesa whatever. Was it to be said, that
toe motion against Mr. Wardle was to have a mere
¶I mauve or negative ? What was it our business to
go but to investigate that motion in all its bearings,
aced make such additional resolutions as might seem
Proper and necessary ? He would ask, was it the
usion) of the House of Commons, on similar am.
''lons; to confine themselves to a mere negative ?
Certa:_nly not; they always aaed as circumstances
aPPeas'ekl, and such must be the case with every
Other -public body. This mdion, if carried, will
'operate as a complete extinguisher on all the lustre
lilts Court has acquired by its manly conduit. He
feared iris worthy friend, the moser, had been con-
larr,ilvited by his residence in the country. He had
itfc;. granted, that the worthy Member had
'4)41.e,0v.er to their side, and had enlisted under the

i.~..-.

banners of reform; that he had left all those old
prejudices which had well nigh ruined the country ;
but he was sorry he was Liiitraken. fie says lie

nnthing-
No Baron or Squire.
That ivat Knight of the Shire,

was happier than the Worthy Gentleman. But we
are not ignorant .of his industry in bringing forward
his friends, when he had any purpose to carry. He
had Allowed bin:tacit, that we were as much indebted
to Mr. Wardle as to any man now living; then let
us not damp the ardour of such men by coming to
this Resolution. He had no hesitation in saying that
Mr. Wardle had been shamefully calumniated ; he
was passing through a fiery ordeal, and he will
come out with new lustre. It ought to be known,
that Mr. Wardle was of a most amiable disposi-
tion and character in private life ; that he was of a
most domestic turn of mind, and did not indblge in
those private indulgencies which had been Supposed.
No, he did not ; though one Gentleman, who had
railed at him, had said that he would, had he been
in the satne situation. Knowing the slippery cha-
raCter of Airs. Clarke, it was fired by Mr. Wardle
and his friends, that, if they left her behind them,
in their tour, she would go e'et tb the eneMy's
camp, and having got a glass coach fol. the lour-
ney, it was thought best that Mrs. Clarke 'should
have a corner in it.—(Lcughter ) It was said, that
Mr. Wardle had not followed up his charge of per-
jury against Mrs. Clarke; but the Grand Jury had
found a true bill against her for a conspiracy. The
circumstances attending the charge of perjury were
so strong, that they had found the bill, and the
trial for the conspiracy would be founded on the
proof of her perjury. Let not Mr. Wardle then be
calumniated by his enemies ; he was entitled to our
indulgence, to our support, to our encouragement.
Every man who dared to expose corruption would
have a number of enemies, who would endeavour to
throw a cloud on his reputation. It therefore be-
came our duty, if we were friends to our country,
and enemies to corruption, to support such men,
instead of discouraging them. It was not consonant
With our duty to the publi=!, or to ourselves, to ob-
literate these resolutions. It was quite impossible to
know before hand what amendment on a motion it
would be proper to make--that could only arise
from the nature of the case as it appeared upon the
discussion. Upon the whole, he hoped that the
Court would have a greater regard to their character
and reputation than to agree to their Resolution.
Mr. sActits said, that being some hundred miles
from London when the Resoltitions were proposed,
he had no opportunity of considering them, but would
now offer a few observations on some of them : he
would not detrad from Mr. Wardle's motives in
bringing forward the investigation, and did not think
that the late fatuous trial 'detracted from them; he
had therefore no objection to the first Resolution,
but that part of the Resolutions about the abuse of
Church patronage be thought unnecessary. We
had, indeed, heard what had been attempted by a
man of the name of Beasley, and by another man,
who had lately put an end to his existence. But
though they attempted to obtain Church preferment
by corrupt means, yet the had not obtained it.
This, then, Was no proof of corruption in the Church.
Next, as to the charge.sagainst Mr. Perceval and Mr.
Henry Wellesley, of using Treasury influence in
placing Members in the House of Commons :—all
this only retuainect:io the shape of charges, and no
proufK had been given. As to the conduct of Lord
Castlereagh, there was a clear line of distinction to
be drawn between it and the preceding. His mal-
practices were proved and confessed, and he should
have given the paragraph
_relating to that Noble
Lord's conduct his hearty concurrence. The Reso-
lutions then proceeded to a general charge of cor-
ruption against the House of Commons. Now no
one detested vice and corruption in the abstract more
' than he did; but some allowances should be made
for great temptations. Even Laid Bacon, the father
of philosophy, and otherwise a great than, had been
convicted of taking bribes. He very much ques-
tioned whether Parliament were more corrupt t,ow
than formerly. He fOund, from the Parliamentary
History, that even so soon after the Revolution as the
Year 1694, 90001. had been distributed in bribes
among, the Members to forward the passing of theßast
India Cusn any Bill, and that even the Speaker, Sir
J. Trevor, partook of it, of which he was so ashamed,
that he never returned to his chair, pretending sick.
ness. So long ago as the year 1737, be found Mr.
Pulteney declaiming against the corruption ofiParlia-
ment, in as strong terms as Mr.Watdle or any one else
could do, as if corruption had come to its highest
pitch, and could go no further. About the same
time he found Sir W. Windham complaining, that
I:! our smaller boroughs were as venal and merce-
nary as common prostitutes." He really believed
that public men were not now so corrupt as they
had been. Who discovered Lord Melville's case ?
A Committee of the House of Commons. Who
exposed Alexander Davison ? Why a Committee of
the same House. Besides, did not the proposed
toreoclunents of Mr. Wardle ,go a part to the di-
roinuctuu ui vas army, &he mama of our thAPS/00 ?
and it was quite absurd to suppose, as be had done,
that the House of Commons having such a multi-
plicity of business, and often engaged in debate till
six or seven in the morning, could also be the au-
ditors of the pubic aceounts..—He would ask, then,
were sash Resolutions as these expedient) Was it
proper that opinions so crudely formed, and so tin-
expaaarny brought forward, should be promulgated
by the brit Corporation of the kingdom, and re-
main for ever on their records ? He knew it was the
fashion of the day to decry 311 public men ; but what
Was to become of us if this opinion should become
common, that all public men are acting only for: their
own ends, and not with a view to the public good ?
In that case anarchy must usurp the place of regular
government, and all its horrors would be the cause-
quintet'. Re thought it the duty of every man to
rally aiound the Constitution • he had lived an years
ender its Ise bad acquired a little property that made
him independent, and he had tio wish to see his
life, or his property subjea to the mandates of a
Revolutionary Committee, or the decrees of a de-
spotic Emperor. On these grounds he supported
the motion.

Mr. WAITIIMAN said, it had been his intention
riot to trouble the Court with any observation of his,
after hearing the speech of the Hon. Gentleman who
introduced the motion, as that speech scarcely cilled
for any reply. After the speech, however, IA hich
thus had just beard, be should think incx-

• • •
•
easable, if he only gOvi sikhi en the occasion.
-At first, he confessed tbat he had been ve,y much at a
loss to conceive what reaiiott the Hon. Mover could
advance to induce the Coint to rescind a former Re-
solution, of t,o much importance; but he had been
considerably relieved from his embarrassment, when
he heard the Gentleman declare that his objection was
founded.only in the manner in which the Resolution
had been carried, and was not at ail intended to mili-
tate against the original Vote of 1-ii-ivhs to Air.
Wlrdle. The Whole of the Centlenn-in's observations
had been diretied, not apinsi :he 'l-T:ter of the Reso-
lution, but against the irregularity which he conceiv-
ed bad accompanied it, that resolution having been
adopted, without any previous notice, as an arneod-
mentrto a motion that had failed of success. With
respeiEt to the irregularity which was complained of,
he had only to remind them of the proceedings of
last Court ;:ai, hich sheweil, th:it ~t•ien it suited
the conveniency of the Court, the !:( could dispense
with the strict letter of regulation; w hile they ad-
hered to the general spirit and opiiiion of :he Court;
for it must be recolle6.ted, that, do the last day of
their meeting; instead of adoptitig the proposition,
On account of which they had been a.sembled, they
had adcPted one of a very ditfetent nature, and the
*orthy Gentlernari on that Occasion made no objec-
tion to the Resolution on the grodnd of its irregu-
larity. Circumstances; it had been urged, had
transpired, since their original Vote of Thanks to
Mr. Wardle, sufficient to induce them to rescind
that Resolution. That such circumstances might
have occurred was not impossible but, in order
to judge of their weight, it was necessary to hear
them, and, for his own part, he had as yet heard
nothing, either on this or any former day, that
could in the least alter his opinion. Much im-
portance had been given to the circumstance of the
legal difference between Mrs. Clarke and Mr. War-
dle ; but whatever might be his opinion, or that of
any other man on this subjeti, it ,would not alter
the complexion and charaoer of his' public conduct,
which that Court, in the first instance, had so readi-
ly and .4o patriotically approved. Whatever might
be the private character of Mr. Wardle, laying aside
all considerations of that nature, he could not deny
him the praise due to him for the public services he
had rendered the country. He could not be so
foolish as to refuse the hand of a man who was ready
to save him from drowning, because he might con-
ceive that rim to be of a vicious private diameter.
He conceived that they were called on, on the pre-
sent occasion, to protect their own transactions, and
to pass an opinion on the circumstances that had
since occurred, or were pretended to have occurred,
that might warrant any violation of their former Re-
solutions. The Gentleman who had submitted the
moti 41 had pointed out nothing that could justify
any change in their former opinion, and having
pointed out nothing of this nature, he could not see

the propriety of renewing the discussion. Notwith-
i standing the various speeches he heard in than Court
from the Gentleman opposite (Mr. beki), in which
•
I he had seldom failed to cover himself u ith dust and

and cobwebs, he had never been more surprized at
any of those speeches than at that which they had
heard this day. In his objections to the second pa-
ragraph of the Resolution to be rescinded, he could
not deny that ecclesiastical trati,E:tions, of the na-
ture there described, had occut red : but like that
arch quibbler, Mr. Canning, he denied their exist-

ence, or (which was the same thing) their crimi-
nality, because they had not been carried into etfeat.
eould it be denied, however, that Dr. O'Meara had
been brought into the presence of his Majesty by
the influence of a licentious woman, in order to pro-
mote his preferment at the instance of a prosti-
tute ? With respect to the next paragraph, relative
to seats in the House of Commons, he contended,
that the words of the Speaker of the House of Com-
mons had been very fairly and properly applied.—
Tile Speaker had reprobilted that nefarious traffic,
a :d Lord Liverpool had so lately as last Session,
whAt he acknowledged its existence, spoken of it
also la telms nearly of equal reprobation. The
Sp aker lad said that an end must ibe put to this
traffic, or the period must arrive when seats would
be sold by public anaion, and involve us in univer-
sal disgrace and contempt. In the next paragraph,
relating to fiord Castlereagh, the Honourable Gen-
tleman had regretted the odium cast on that. great
than, as be had been pleased to consider him ; but
he would venture to say, and it would require little
proof to justify the assertion, that, if such were th
great men they had to boast of, this coun;ry Iva
lost for ever. If Canning and Castlereagh were the
only Men in .whom the country 'could repose confi-
dence, there then was no hope remaining, and eve-
ry expectation of safety, as well as reform, must
fall to the ground. The Gentleman had said a great
deal on the subject of virtue and vice, which, be
was afraid, he did not himself quite understand.—
He hated rice, and loved virtue, in the abstract, as
much as any man, he had told them; and he had
no doubt that he loved the latter in the same man-
ner as he might liken good dinner, in the abstract;
but he could not, for his own part, see what con-
nection those deep, if not impenetrable speculations,
bad with the present question. He seemed to think
corruption necessary, because, as he very wisely
stated, it had existed in all ages, and attended the
States of Greece and Rome, in their progress and de-
cline, as well as that of Great Britain, But if cor-
ruption was so general, did it follow that ive were
not to resist it ? If it was a weakness attached to
all human institutions, did it follow that we were to
take no means, if not of expelling, of at least miti-
gating the disease, and removing it to a distance ?--
On the contrary, it would appear that those Gentle-
tlemen were friends to corruption on account of its
prevalence.
Mr. WAITHI4AN Laving continued in .his usual
strain for some time, concluded with stating, that
the people ought to support and encourage such
Members of Parliament as supported their rights,
and showed a disposition to check the torrent of
corruption. He was, therefore, of opinion, that it
was the duty of the Court to encourage such men
as Mr. Wardle, and for that reason he hoped they
would negative the motion by the previous question.
Mr. DIXON had no intention to take up the time
of the Court at that late hour, but could not sit
quietly, and bear such language and such argument
as had fallen from the last Speaker, wAhout express-
ing his most decided disapprobation. The Gentle-
man was telling the people of this country, that
they were to expect no redress from Parliament, and
chat they /Wait look out for their own remedies. As

Gentlemen had argued on this subj

be recolle&ed that this far from he.ng

though several were abseht who 'would have

Alderman ATKINS contended, that the 125 who
voted on I'Vardle's motion sheaved the Elt,use of
Commons not to be that corru;)t body they had
been represented. He had the honour of being:
a Member of that, House during the inveitigatioit
respelling Lord Melville, and maint.►iced that the
decision of 'the House, on that occasio►►, served as
a perpetual memento of its integrity and virtue.
He admitted That the Court had a right to inves-
tigate the condua of public men,but they had certainly
ly no right to traduce the House of Commons ;is u
body, nor to charge men with any thing for which
they had not proof. As the Resolution alluded to
he thought went thus far, and as there was a depar-
ture in its mode of introduaion from their usual re-
&Amity of proceeding, he gave his concurrence to
the present motion.
Mr. MILLAS opposed the motion, and observed,
that if it should be carried, it would appear as if
they had merely voted thanks to Colonel Wardle
in order to have an opportunity of rescinding that
vote, and more effeaually insulting him.

Mr. KEMBLX disclaimed all intention of re-
fledling in any shape on the conduct of Colonel
Wardle or of altering in any degree the original
Vote of Thanks.

The question being loudly called for, the previous
question was put, and carried by a considerable
majority. Some of the Members, however, not sa-
fished with the shew of hands, called for a divi-
sion, and the Court was accordingly cleared. No.
division, however, took place. The Committee
then adjourned about six o'clock.
