DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS,

October

[MORNING HERALD.]
We received yesterday the following letter
from our Correspondent at Hanover. It gives
us great pleasure that, his Majesty is so much
recovered from his late illness; and we hope it
will not be long before we hear of his safe arrival
.gain in his own country. The expected inter-

-=.,iew between Prince Metternich and Lord Lon-
donderry, we trust, will end in an amicable'ar-
rangement as far as it regards the affairs of Russia
and Turkey, which shall be satisfactory not only
io those' Powers, but also to England, Austria,
Prince, and all the other European States •inte-
rPsted in the peace of the world, Europe espe-
daily has had for this last half century quite
enough of war; its consequences, in. all proba-
bility, will be felt for nearly a'century to conie, if
even during that period:there should be profound
peace: England, Russia, Austria, France, Prussia,
Italy, Spain, and indeed almost every one of the
European Kingdoms and Empires, have National
Debts arising out of the wars kindled by the
French Revolution, which Debts it will not be.easv
for them to pay the int-zrest of, much less the prin-
cipal. Accordingly, notwithstanding the con-
tinual cry of the English Agricultural and Trading
interests, for War, we .would, on the contrary,
say " Peace."

Banover, Oct.-19.—1t gives me great plea-
sure to inform you that his :Majesty is so far re-
covered from his recent attack of the gout, as to
be able to walk. about his chamber. • lie was
visited during the day by most of his Illustrious
,iielatives, and there also came a host of distin-
guished characters inquiring 'after his Majesty's
health with anxious solicitude. Prince Met-
ternich is positively expected on Saturday, and
the question of peace or war between Russia and
the Porte will-probably be. decided before.• his
Majesty returns to England."

[NEW TIMES..
The Gentlemen of the Common Council will
do well to remember, that a special Court is
called for to-morrow, for a purpose tfie most ab-
surd that perhaps even factious folly ever con-
ceived.. It is to vote the thanks of the Corpora-
tion and the Freedom of the. City to a Member
of Parliament, on no other ground than " his
assiduity and patriotic conduct in Parliament
fly his endeavours to economise the public revenue
of the country."—At the dinner of the present
Sheriffs, we heard with great pleasure the elo-
quent speech of Mr. Oldham, who declaied his
resolution to do every thing in his power toward
restoring the character of the Corporation, de-
graded and disgraced as it had been by its vio-
lent proceedings "on .some late occasions. We have
no doubt that many gentlemen feel with him, and
that they will above all things be anxious that
the thanks of the Corporation shall be given with
such discrimination as to render them a real
honour, and the hope of obtaining them an
efficient stimulus to great and praiseworthy ac-
tions. In the present instance it may not_be ne-
cessary to go into any examination of the parti-
cular claims of the individual to be thanked ; for
the Requisition is not put on the ground of any
particular merit. " The name on the notice might
as well have been left in blank, and the choice of
the individual have been entrusted to the copy-
ing Clerk, only restricting him (for decency's
sake) to take some one Alember of Parliament,
who is alive, and has actually taken his seat. All
Members of -Parliament are presumed to be assi-
duous and patriotic, and doubtless a very large
number are literally so. All are.presumed to
endeavour to economise the public revenue of the
country, and doubtless many do make such en-
deavours. If therefore Mr. A. is to be thanked
merely for such conduct as this, so must Mr. 8.,
Mr. C., &c. &c., to the end of the alphabet,
twenty times told. You cannot make a differ-
ence in their cases, because one falls within the
very words of your resolution just as much as
the other. The words- are general—they thank
a Member of Parliament for simply doing his duty,
and nothing more. This we apprehend is a fatal
defect in point of form the motion lays no ground
for the honour which it proposes to confer.

[MORNING
•
The little interest displayed by the public- in
general in_ behalf of Sir Robert Wilson com-
pelled his friends to postpone their intended City
Meeting to this day, in order that his 'Whig
Patrons should have time to reach town, and to
'secure by their numbers a spew of attendance at
the place of assembly. But this was not sufficient.
The new comers had already subscribed ; they
could give their presence and their speeches, but
nothing else, and unless a well filled subscription
list should follow the Meeting, as its immediate
result, the indifference of the public would stand
exposed belond the possibility of contradiction.
It was necessary-therefore that some method
should be adopted to excite the languid feelings
of the people, and to dispose them to. pay the-
new tax levied upon them by one of those, who
have not ceased for the last five years to tell them
that they were overbUrthened with imposts! The
spur selected for this occasion is the copy ofa new.
correspondence which has lately taken place be-
tween the Gallant Knight, Lord Sidmouth, and
Sir Richard Birnie. It appeared last night .in
the Wilson Official Gazette, and will be found
in another part of our columns.. Its purport is a
demand, made by the Gallant knight, to be fur-
nished with copies of two depositions which he
understood: had. been laid against him ; the one
dhargiqg him with having attended a private
'Meeting before, the Queen's funeral, in which a
plan for opposing The military had been orga-
nized ; and the other declaring, that on-the day
of the funeral he had been seen with a porter
pot in his hand; encouraging the populace.to pull
up the pavement. Ilk object in wishing for copies
of these depositions is certainly a proper one, if,
as he asserts, the depositions are false—it is, to ,
prosecute their authors for perjury. On the
first point, Lord Sidmouth referred Sir Robert
to Sir -Richard Birnie, who .unhesitatingly

admitted that such a deposition bad been
made, but only verbally, and that on inquiry
the Magistrates had been satisfied that the charge
was unfounded. On the second point, Lord Sid-
mouth answered, that he did not think himself
justified in- giving the directions for which the
Gallant Knight had applied, thus acknowledging
by inference the existence of the deposition turd
of the charge. This is an important fact, as it
reveals one of the grounds on which a late deci-
sion was founded. Of the right of the Noble
Lord to refuse a copy of what had been commu-
nicated to him upon oath and under the seal of
secrecy, no doubt can be entertained ; and if the
Gallant Knight considers himself injured by the
refusal, he has his appeal to Parliament, who will
know how to combine respect for the Royal
Prerogative with justice to an individual.
