[British Press.]

A meeting of the Common Council of the City of London
was held yesterday, for the purpose of collecting the sense of
the inhabitants of the Metropolis, expressed by their Repre-
sentatives, upon the proceedings that were instituted against
the Queen. The feelings of the Council were unequirocally
expressed in their ready assent to Mr. Favell's motion for an
Address to her Majesty, congratulating her on her triumph
over the foul and wicked conspiracy against her honour, and
on her complete refutation► of all the charges alleged against
her. lAr Majesty has caused her intention to be notified to
the Court of Aldermen, and also to the Court of Common
Council, of going on this day week to St. Paul's Church, for
the purpose of returning thanks to Heaven for her recent de-
lieerauce out of the hands of her enem'us. The Court of Al-
dermen separated without coming to any determination upon
the subject, but in the Court of Cononoii Council a very
warm, and in some instances ant angry debate arose upon
the propriety of receiving her Majesty with the honours due
to her rank and station. A full and accurate report of the
proceedings will. be found in our preceding columns. Mr.
lavell, it will be seen, moved that the Lord Mayor and the
Aldermen then present in the Court be requested to attend
her Majesty to the Cathedral, and that a Select Committee
should be appointed to make preparations fur receiving her
Majesty in a spanner suitable to her rank. This motion
was strongly opposed by Alderman Heygate, who con-
sidered her Majesty's intentions as -indiscreet, and likely
to be attended with notch inconvenience to the City, by in-
terrupting the progress of public business. The resolution,
however, was adopted on a division by a eery large majority
It is therefore determined that the Corporation, having the
Lord Mayor at its head, will on this day week meet her Ma-
jesty at the gates of the City, and accompany her to the
Church, where she proposes, in imitation of the pious example
of our late gracious King, to humble herself in thankfulness
at the Throne of
.Mercy. The Common Council its forming
this resolutions do nothing more than what is due on such an
occasion to the Quee❑ Consort of these realms ; had they
been induced by such unworthy arguments as were yesterday
offered to their notice to withhold from her Majesty this mark
of respect, they would have dishonoured themselves and in-
sulted the Royal Family. This proceeding on the part of the
Common Council, however, must be considered with refe-
rence to condition ins which her Majesty has beets pieced
by the Ministers of the Crown, and is to be regarded as the
honest burst of unsullied loyalty and disinterested generosity
towards a Princess whose claims to public sympathy must, in
the mind of every man of honour, feeling, and integrity, be
increased by the contemplation of her long and cruel af-
flictions. While the Queen continues to receive front the
Corporation of the City of London, and from the great ma-
jority of the people in every part of the kingdom, practical
proofs of esteem and respect, she may laugh to scorn the petty
attempts of the Ministers of the Crown to injure and oppress
her. 'line assurance of the best wishes and kindliest affec-
tions of the People of England are of wore estiorstioo in the
mind of a high-spirited Princess, than royal palaces and ser-
vices of plate. But the possession of the one must not deprive
her of the other, to which she has an undoubted right, and
we are convinced that if the Ministers of the Crown would
suffer the House of Commons to speak its opinions upon this
point, such would be the sentiments of that Assembly. It is
monstrous to suppose that a Queen of England, because her
person may chance to be displeasing in the eye of her Illus-
trious Consort, shall not have a place of residence within the
Kingdom suited to her rank, and no less monstrous is it -to
affirm, that although there are several Royal Palaces vacant—
Palaces built and maintained at an enormous expense by
the public money for purposes of State, and for up-
holding the dignity and splendour of the Royal Family—
the Queens shall not he permitted to reside inn one of them,
hut the public shall he required to find another palace, also
at an enormous expense, for her Majestfs resideneF I Ls the

Crown are afraid to suffer this matter- to come immediateliwo
fore Parliament, and yet the state and condition of the Cluee4
of England are of sufficient importance to require the iron,
attention of the Legislature. The Queen has been trealco
by the Ministers of the Crown with every indignity since
return to this country. Her Majesty, on her first emit .10
demanded a palace for her residence, and au establishate°,
suitable to her dignity ; but these were refused upon the Pleer
(which was urged on every occasion to justify the impr°Po
treatment which her Majesty experienced) that-a charge
pending, and that until this was decided her: lajesty'scondinl
was to remain unit ttled and undetermined. She was to irdinil

citizens, she was to have no plate-because she bad no Palar':i
and even her very means of subsistence depended upon a

calls it) at the discretion of her avowed enemies. Was it ",,

The following is au Extract of a Letter fr°"'a
the Son of Mr. O'CONNELL, who accompayie
General DEVEREiSX to South America :

" Head Quarters, Barranquilla, Aug. 13, Itlio'
" MY DEIR FATHER-Mr. Burke, a most Pare
titular friend of the General's, having told e
that he will have an opportunity of sending let'
ters to-morrow to Jamaica, I embrace the opPl
tuuity to send a few lines, giving an account
our voyage and arrival here. After a few woof,
tedious passage from Jamaica, we anchored
the Bay of Savanella, and none bdt the Genera,
Was allowed to land, accompanied by two Al(fri
de-Camp—your humble servant was one °
those ; but the General not being able to Priri
cure horses enough for us, 1 was left behind. 1;
soon as the General saw Admiral Brion he s°'
cited permission for all of us to land, which ,
Admiral granted, and sent down a large beat;
or boat, for us to come up from Savanello
Barranquilla, 22 miles distant ; the Bengo ca'l'f

the message ; they loaded her from sever 3
vessels with different articles, went up the river'
and we never knew she was for us until s'tr).
was gone. The passage up the river always C
cupies from '24 to 30 hours for .large boats,
consequence of the strength of the current 011;
'ling down. As soon as the General saw we weld
not come, another large boat was dispatched;
after lying at Savanello for near a week,
came up here after 9.1 hours passage. On °ll,
arrival here, the officers and soldiers were
lotted on the inhabitants, and supplied -will
excellent rations of beef, 3IbS. each—of brew:
a good loaf, and rice, candles, &c. 1, being
the General's staff, stop at the same house 01,,
him. The Admiral behaves very well to t''
General, and indeed we are all treated here wits
the greatest respect.
" It seems that Montillo has refused to gi('
up the command of the army to the General
in consequence of which the General has di,s
patched Hall and Bennett to lay the matter by;
fore -him. The General regrets greatly my o°/
being up here in time, else he would have
me to the President instead. of Bennett. Bolic3
