to protect his sacred person. ne would like to
know what the seven wise men of the City,
who advised ber Majesty, not to come, now
thought of the scene of Wednesday last. The
seven individuals would in future deserve the
4ppellation of the City Sapients. He had, in-
cised, no doubt but those individuals, had their
counsels been followed, would have introduced
the military into the City ; and then, indeed, he
verily believed, the horrid scenes which took
place at Manchester would have been re-acted
in London. These persons and his Majesty's
Niulo-tti were the real Radicals ; by their mea-
suret th-ey had brought the country into a situa-
tiOn in-which, if they remained in power, we
Y.tlust have a Military Despotism or a Rcvo-
igion ;'and -in the present state of the Coun-
try the first was impossible; the People were
te4 enlightened to suffer a Military Despotism;
the result of such an attempt wonld, as had been
It!? case with Spain, Portugal, and Naples, be a
revolution. In adopting the course which he
pow recommended, he was acting as the best
lrietld of the Crown, by advising his Majesty to
avoid this evil. • Ile again called on the Court to
go up to' his. Majesty, and by their interposition
o.ause truth to reach the Royal ear. lie con-
chided by moving a Resolution, stating it to be
the opinion of the Court, " That an humble Ad-
dress and Petition should be presented to his
Majesty, praying him to dismiss his present
Ministers, who, by their recent proceedings
against the Queen, had rendered themselves un-
w2rthy her confidence, and whose acts had been
such as were only calculated to injure the
country."

Mr. TAYLOR rose to second the motion, and
In doing this the able speech of the Alder-
man would render it unnecessary for him to do
more than express his own individual opinion as
to the conduct of the present Ministers. Their
foreign-policy, he contended, had been injurious
to the best interests of the country. Years ago
a hope of liberal and just Governments had been
'l)eld out to all the Foreign States, but in almost
every instance the hope. thus held out to the
I:Yeopie had been deceived, and despotic measures
had, birctiu adopted and sanctioned privately, if
not publicly, by the Ministers of this country.
He denied the assertion that a majority of the
population of this country were unjustly dissatis-
iiod with the form of Government in this country.
It was a libel on the people to-say so, and was a
-do!,:trine held only to serve the purposes of the
present ,Ministers, who agreed in nothing except
in a determination to keep their places. Ile con-
tended that the measures adopted by these men
'were destructive of the best interests of the coun-
try, and had an effect even in the administration of
euel ice, at least so it appeared to him when he re-
flected on the recent occurrences in our Law Courts,
the packing of Juries, the severe sentences passed
on the persons convicted, the lining persons whilst
making their defences, and other circumstances ;
tio:d the whole Was • crowned by the recent pro-
ceeding against her Majesty. If the proceed-
jags against the Queen were just, they must be
central, and must operate alike against all
krinces and Peers. It did not signify -whether
awes were true or false. - The Government
Must attend to the most obscene investigations,
-and who could say where the limit should be
drawn ? It was well known, that all our Princes
had, at timer, been made the subjects of reports,
and even our amiable Princesses had not escaped
the bxeath of scandal. He could conceive no
coarse so injurious to Royalty as that lately par-
tined by the Ministers, who had inundated the
.country with immorality and indecency, and
been more mischievous than all the atheistical
or deistical publications which had deluged the
publ c press for the last three or four years.
Mr. Alderman C. SMITH did not rise to oppose
the Resolution, but to complain that it did not
go far enough.—(Loud cries of Hear, hear I)—
lie really meant what he said, for he thought if Mi 7
nisters had acted differently the result of the late
inquiry would have been different ; but though
he had done, with Ministers, he had not done
With Ills Most Gracious Sovereign, in whose
cause, as long as he lived, he would hold up his
hand ; but he would ask, if the present Ministers
viers to be dismissed, what was next to be done?
The wheels of Government must be kept going ;
and if these men were dismissed, tid neWMinisteiS
named, they would perhaps in a few days be-
come equally unpopular. He was desirous that
the Petition should contain a list of names of
those individuals from whom his Majesty should
select .a new Administration. If this alteration
or addition was made, he would SUpport the
Motion.

Mr. Jupe said, the Court had nothing to 'do
with who succeeded the present Ministers.if they,
Were dismissed. In the -ranks of
~OPpositinn
there were many men capable or conducting. the
machine of Government.' One thing they might,
be certain of—that was, they could pot get worse
than the present, and might .get bOter there,
fore they were in no danger frOrn Change.---;
As to the change recommended' by the
,Worthy
Alderman, there were such' persons a's Ultra
Royalists. He had read somewhere that wor4s.
rzre feminine and actions masculine. He Would-
say', let us see men's actions, and then he would
say who were loyalmen acid who were not. The
worthy Gentleman then contended, that the doc,
trine of the " King can do no wrong" was a
constitutional doctrine, when properly applied.
He was of the same opinion with 'the worthy
Mover of the Resolution, that thingsp could not
continue in their present situation. This was' a
tenth, however, which would only, reach
,the'
Koval ear through the 'Petitions of the POple,
which' was a course that ought to be perse-
vered in. '

Mr. PATTEN was also in favnur of the motion.
Ife thought no man should accept office wh9

Mr. BROWNE supported the Resolution,thaugh

trines they had broactied that day. lie thought that
