COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.

INVITATION TO THE KING TO DINE WITH
THE CORPORATION.
Yesterday "a. Court of Common Council was
held for the purpose of receiving a Report from
the Committee appointed to consider of the best
mode the Court may adopt to express their con-
gratulations and respect to his Majesty upon 4tis
Coronation.
Mr. OLDHAM, as the Sub-Chairman of the Committee ap-
pointed as above stated, said he had great pleasure in statint,
that the Report which .he held in his hand- was signed by the
whole of the Committee, who had exercised great care in exa-
, mining preced6nts as to the matter referred to them.
The Report was then read ; it was of great length. It recom-
mended that the Lord Mayor and Sheriff's should wait upon his
Majesty, and humbly request that he would graciously vouch-
safe to honour the City with his presence at their dinner on the
next Lord Mayor's day.
Mr. OLDHAM said, the Committee had found that it had been
the custom from time immemorial to invite the King to dine
with the citizens on the first Lord Mayor's dinner after the
Coronation. But though the King was invited in fact by the
Corporation, yet he was considered as the guest of the Lord
Mayor. fter the Revolution King William - was invited
in June, 1639, by the Lord Mayor, as was also Queen Anne,
after her Coronation ; but George the First, and George the
Second were invited by the Common Council. It was moved
at a Court held subsequently to the dinner which George the Se-
cond attended, that lie should be requested'to sit for hiikeness,
and it was voted that his statue should be placed in the Royal
Exchange. A similar course was adopted on the occasion of
the Coronation of his late Majesty in 1761, and his statue was
also placed in the Royal Exchange. The speaker proceeded
to state, that he was happy to inform the Court that the Com-
mittee had ascertained that the Corpom, on had ample means of
giving the entertainment with a degree of splendour worthy of
an entertainment given from the first City to the first Sovereign
in the world, and he was of opinion that there was no sacrifice
which the Court ought not to Make to accomplish any. thing
which tended to promote that union which ought to subsist be-
tween the King and the people. Although, however, the Cor-
poration might not receive his Majesty with all that effervescence
with which he had been received in the sister country, yet he
would without doubt be received with all those feelings of Con-
stitutional loyalty that the City of London had hitherto been
distinguished for. The difference of feeling manifested in the
metropolis to that manifested in the sister kingdom arose from
the citizens being more accustomed to the Royal presence. He
had, however, no doubt- that although the Corporation would
not go to the lengths of expression which had been gone to in
the sister country, yet that they would display a greater solidity
of feeling (if he might use the expression) which would be equal
in amount, and do honour to them in the estimation of the

country at large.—(Hear, hear!)—lle congratulated the Court
that on this subject there had been an annihilation of all party
or political feeling. He implored the Court to keep up the
same unanimity, forhe would rather that the King should not
come into the City at all than that he should not be received as
the greatest Monarch on earth.—(Hear, hear !)—On this sub-
ject something was to be expected from his Lordship's succes-
sor, and he hoped they would have a successor in. every way
worthy of him, for he would say that the City of London had
never been more honoured in its Lord Mayor than at present,
and he wished that they should have a gentleman of fortune, of
good sense, and of conciliatory habits, to serve the office for the
ensuing year, in short he wished a second Thorpe.
Mr. Sheriff WILLI,..es seconded the motion, and hoped the
Citizens would haw, an opportunity of shewing that they were
all truly loyal, whether they agreed or differed with the Ad-
Ministration.

31r. FAVELL agreed with all that had been said by the
Worthy Mover, and trusted that the Corporation would have
as harmonious a dinner as they had had on the day before at the
Mansion House. -

Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS contended, that the Lord Mayor alone
ought to invite his Majesty.
Mr. Sheriff WAIT LIMAN concurred with the Report. A man
who supported the Constitution could not but respect the Sove-
reign, and he (Alderman Waithman) had yet to learn that 10.-
man's loyuity should be measured by the degree of support or
opposition which he thought it necessary. to give to the measures
of the Administration.

The Report was agreed to unanimously.
Mr. OLDHAM then moved that the Court should humbly
request that his Majesty would be graciously pleased to honour
the Corporation with his presence to dinner on the Lord Mayor's
Day.—The Motion was put and carried unanimously.
It was also moved that The Lord Mayor elect, with the She-
riffs, should request the Duke of York, with his Royal Brothers,
to accompany his Majesty in his visit to the city.
VOTE OF THANKS TO SHERIFF WAiTHIVIAN,
FOR HIS CONDUCT ON THE. FUNERAL OF HONEY AND
FRANCIS.

Mr. FAVELL rose to make a motion, which he introduced in
so low a tone that he was for a considerable time inaudible be-
low the bar. He descanted on the increasing tendency which
he said appeared on the part of the persons in power to avail
themselves of the use of niilitary force instead of the civil autho-
rity, and on the jealousy with which all attempts to supersede
the civil power ought to be viewed. He would now trouble the
Court
.with some circumstances on which he would found a mo-
tion relative to the part taken by one of their highest officers,
.on an occasion where the military were concerned.
Mr. 'l'. N. WILLIAMS said, that from the manner in which
the Speaker had commenced his speech, he (Mr. T. N. Wil-
liams) clearly foresaw that it would end in a motion for a vote
of thanks to Sheriff Wi-dthman. The Speaker said, it was the
Standing Order that notice should be given of any matters of
importance that were to be brought before the Court. The
motion was one of great weight, and he claimed it as a right
that he should have due time for considering it.
Mr.. OLDHAM requested that Mr. Favell would state what

he meant to move ?
Mr. FAYE L L said the Court was entirely master of its own
proceedings, and would at times suspend the Standing Order.
Mr. T. N. WILLIA3rs opposed the proceeding, and would
not consent to the irregularity.
Mr. OLDHAM wished to take the opinion of the Chair upon
the matter.
The LORD MAYOR referred to the Standing Orders of the
Court, which wet:, to the effect that no Member should intro-
duce a motion without first giving a certain notice upon the
paper. His Lordship said that unless the Court should suspend
the Standing Order, he did not conceive that the Worthy Mem-
ber could-now propose any'motion.
Mr. HuncomnE supported Mr. Favell, as did Mr. Durn-
tbrd, who said it was a question of privilege which, by the Or-
ders of the Court, preceded all others.
Mr. Alderman WAITHMAN said he had no knowledge of
the motion which Mr. Favell intended to make, but if it related
to the conduct of some of the soldiery on a recent occasion, we
understood the Worthy Sheriff to say that he thought it a ques-
tion out of the range of the Standing Order, and he should feel
it his duty to lay a statement before the ourt upon the sub-
ject himself.

Mr. FAVELL said, the privileges of the city had been violated
through the person of one of their highest officers, and as a ques-'
tion of privilege he pressed the motion which he intended to
make. • The Speaker proceeded to make a similar statement of
the riots before anightsbricige Barracks on the Sunday of the
funeral of Francis and Honey, to those which have already ap-
peared in some of the public prints. He would confine himself
to that Sunday, as other matters in which the Sheriff had acted.
were now under a course of AdjudiCation_. He contended that
from the bold and able manner in which the Sheriff had acted,
even at the risk of his life, on that occasion, foe the reservation
of the peace, he well deserved the thanks of the Court. The
speaker concluded by moving a- Resolution to the effect, that the
office of Sheriff was the highest and most important in the election
of the citizens, and that it was the duty of the Court to uphold
its character and to protect the officer in the proper exercise of his
duty. That while they , expressed their approbation of the
prompt and effectual means employed by Mr. Sheriff Waith-
man, for the preservation of the peace durinc, the funeral of
gu
Francis'and Honey, on the 26th of Aust, they could not but
express their abhorrence at the gross violation of the public peace
by several of the Life Guards ; and that the coolness and cou-
rage displayed by Mr. Sheriff Waithman, on that occasion, de-
served the thanks of the Court and his fellow-citizens. •
Mr. H lie° MBE seconded the motion. ,
Mr. Sheriff WAiTixaLtx said, that from what lie at first
conceived as to the. nature of the motion made by his worthy
friend he (Sheriff Waithman) had thought to have seconded it ;
but as it was for a vote of thanks to himself, he should trouble
the Court with a few observations, awl then retire, that they
might be unshaCkled by any feelings'. of delicacy in their
discussion which might arise from his presence. But he consi--
tiered the question as one which had very little relation to him-
self, as every man who had thinness of mind would have adopted
the same course that he had adopted. It was a-question which
arose from one of the greatest outrages and violations of the
most important of public offices that had ever been recorded. It
had become a practice, whenever there was any indication of a
breach of the peace, to have recourse to the police magistrates.
But to preserve the peace it was necessary to have recourse to
persons who were of influence with the populace, and it
could not be better done than by entrusting the task to those
who were of the people's own election. Now on the 26th of
August, although a communication was made to the Lord
Mayor to request that he would be in attendance to preserve
the peace, yet no such communication was made on that day
to the Sheriffs, who were the more proper persons. He (3lr.
Sheriff Waithman) was out from nine o'clock in the morning, •

The KING remained on Monday in Milford
Haven, and intended to sail with the tide of that
evening for the English Channel, if the wind
permitted.

Lord SIDMOUTH arrived in good health at
Richmond Park on Monday evening.

We received this morning the Paris Journals
of Sunday. They bring no account of the com-
mencement of hostilities, but contain several ar-
ticles the tenor of which furnishes strong indica-
tions of approaching war.—The following are
extracts :

" PARIS, SEPT. 9.—Prince Demetrius Com-
nenus, who, according to the Lyons Journal, re-
sided in Piedmont, and there received a solemn
deputation offering him the Crown of the Greek

" It is affirmed that during the recent negocia-
tiorfs at Constantinople,before the departure of tho
Baron de Strogonoff, the Minister of several of tike
Southern Powers delivered notes to the -Divan
disapproving of the Greek insurrection. To
this circumstance is attributed the determined
tone assumed by the Ottoman Government in its
discussions with the Russian Minister. . .
" FRANKFORT, SEPT. 3.—The last letters from
Turkey announce that a considerable number of
Asiatic troops arrive in succession in the neigh'
bourhood of Constantinople. All the Pachas of
Asia have received orders from the Grand
Seignior .to send to his assistance the Whole of
their disposable troops. The execution of 619
order is enjoined under pain of death.
44 We have received intelligence that the Pae"
of Egypt has Nassembled a large body of troops
between Alexandria and Cairo, whence they will
be marched to those places where the lives of the
Fi4nks are most in danger from the Turks.
" As soon as the famous amazon Robelina stag
informed that the Pacha of Egypt proposed
sending twenty merchant vessels into the Arebi-
pelago, she immediately put to sea with the four
armed vessels belonging to her, and followed 131
forty Greek vessels which are undor her com-

4c We learn from Kischnow, that the Thesss:

men, under the command of Captains Geor
ghaki and Mara] aki, have formed a juncti°ll
with the corps of the,ervian Captain Wiade°'
and have completely defeated the Turks in three
successive battles.

" It was remarked that many Europeans Arc''e

impossible not to be aware that certain habits of
mind are very unfavourable to •the promotion of
an impartial and just judgment on such transac-
tions as those which this important inquiry has
embraced.

A party in the Common Council of London
have been guilty of the disgusting indelicacy of violating a
Standing Order of their body, in order to carry, by that
trick, a vote of thanks to Mr. Sheriff WAITH MAN, for his
conduct during the affair at Knightsbridge Barracks ! Some
well-meaning persons, we believe, are disposed to think that
the conduct of Mr. WAITIIMAN was very praiseworthy,
merely because he was very active ! It is certain that there
was a violent and long continued disturbance in front of the
Barracks : the Sheriff of London, it is admitted on all hands,
was during a great part of the time on the spot, EXHORT-
ING one party, making his horse plunge, and scolding at,
and ordering, and FIGHTING with the other, and, with.
out some careful attention to facts, and particularly as to
which of the two parties,—the people, or the soldiers, were to
blame, it is very natural to think that all the eloquence, and
the valour, and the activity of the SHERIFF, were employ-
ed to protect the INNOCENT,—to apprehend the AUTHORS
of the TUMULT,—and to DISPERSE the mon ! This,
however, would be a very mistaken view of the matter. Mr.
WAITHMAN, certainly, was desirous of MAINTAINING THE
PEACE ; but he was for maintaining it, and he did suc-
ceed, as he says, in " RESTORING TRANQUILLITY," by
giving the RIOTOUS MOB a VICTORY over the UNOFFEND-
ING SOLDIERS, who were shut up in their barracks,—while
the mob were left by the Sheriff in possession of the ground,
where they continued to assail the barracks with stones,
and the military within them with execrations, until Mr.
CONANT found it necessary to disturb the " TRANQUIL.
LITY," which had been so gloriously established by Mr.
WAITIIMAN, by reading the Riot Act, and clearing the neigh.
bourhood of the worthy friends of the Sheriff!—Mr. TH-
MAN made prodigious efforts of courage and magnanimity,
during a great number of hours, to get the soldiers locked
up from the insults and injuries of the populace. In
ten minutes-, if he had directed his officers to seize a few of

the rioters, whom, he admits, he HEARD and saw insulting
the military, he would have dispersed the collected crowd, and
preserved the peace in the manner which common sense and the
duties of his office equally point out as the most effectual.—
Mr. CONANT took the old-fashioned and shorter way, of en-
forcing the law which provides for the dispersion of a tumul-
tuous assembly ; and he " restored tranquillity," in such a
manner that it has been preserved ever since. The Common
Council havint, voted their thanks to Mr. IVAITIINAN for his
conduct, are bound in consistency, we think, to express their
abhorrence, by a solemn resolution, at the proceedings of Mr.
CONANT !

Extract of a letter from Paris, dated Sept. 8 :
' The Turkish fleet, after having retreated to
Chio, and received on board the troops which had
arrived from Asia, set sail for Samos. Having
disembarked on this island, the Turks fell upon
the Greeks, but they were repulsed, and obliged
to regain the port. At the same time the Greek
fleet, to the number
.of 100 sail, attacked the
Turkish ships. The Greeks directed their
principal efforts towards the centre of the enemy's
fleet, succeeded in throwing fireballs into it, and
blew up eight of the Turkish ships. The Otto.
man fleet then sailed off. The Greeks took four
ships, sunk several, and pursued the remainder.
It is probable that the wreck of this fleet will fall
into the hands of the Greeks. It was composed
of four ships of the line, nine frigates, five or six
corvettes, and 30 or 40 transports. It is said
that Cara Ali, the Admiral, has been made
prisoner. The battle of which the above is an
account, took place on the 24th of July, in the
view of Samos,"
A letter from Madrid of the 27th ult., in refe-
rence to the affair of the 20th, says--" You will
of course have heard of the trifling disturbance
which took place here a few nights ago; but it
was so trifling, that notwithstanding my house is
very near the spot where the people were collect-
ed, neither I nor any of my family heard any
thing of it until the next day. Do not, therefore,
give credit to every rumour you may hear, as the
French and some of your papers endeavour to
magnify every trifle in order to create alarm."
