By another person, a Member of Parltatnent, they
had on the same occasion been called pick-pecketS,
and turbulent democrats; and that by an iodividual,
who had gong much farther, on the popular side of
the question, than ever he (Mr. W.) did. These
turbulent democrats, however, were merchan s, and

been calumniated and abused ; but he considered
from wh..liee it came, and heeded it not, whilst he
felt he possessed the confidence of his fellow-citi-
zens, which he considered as t liegreatest honour he
could enjoy. Mr, Wait bnian then mitered to the
iii,4ll character of his Royal Higlmesss the Pi ince of
Wales, and said, there never was a Prince possessing
snehlirtues and such intents, so vilified and so de-
graded as his Royal Highness had been for a number
of %e :r;. What part had his Royal Highness ewer

the Prince been favourable to the views an I interests
of the present Administration, would they then
have thought of restrictions? Would they then
have prevented his loyaktlighness from bcstbwing
places and pensions ?• He was convinced they wouid
not. Mr. W. conclodzd by declaring, !hitt his

Mr. FAVELL said, it had always been his tats till

time, when we were preissed by a foreign foe and
domestic difficulties, he conid not terbesir congra-
tulating them upon that spirit which hAd begOn to
iwvar, not only amongst the Livery, but amongst
tint Frretutn at'large of the iCity of Lond-oo ; and
he hoped this circums ance would enable the City
to take that place which, as the first city in the.Eut-

pire, it ought to take'in the affairs of the nation,
and which it Always had supperted, except at shot t
intervals of our hiAtory, when the C.lty Of I.ondon
lappeared as little more than ct registry of ministerial
edicts. He concludal by giving• his unqualified
support to the Resolutioes.
The first Resolution was then put 'and agreed. to
unanimously.
On the second Resolution being put,.
Mr. GRIFFITHS said, they were called together at
a most momentous et kis, to consider whether one
branch of the Constitution should be permitted to
encroach on the other. We had received our Coli.
stitution, with all its excellencies, as a t rust from our
ancestors ; and it was our duty to take Care it did not
get tarnished in our hands. The present Ministry
had always shewn a dislike to the Livery and to their
proceedings ; and the Livery perhaps might know
them; it not, •it was time they should know who
they were—they were the mu who had,shut out
the Livery, and would not suffer them to lay their
complaints at,the feet of their venerable Sovereign.
But they had done more : they had shut out his Ma.
jesty's own children--his sons and his daughters and
would not even suffer t hem io see their Royal Parent.

infant ;• had considered him for 22 years which had
passed since that tune as an infant ; and who now
,would like to consider him as an infant for 2:1 years
to come. He would'. ask again, what could they

in the lap of corruption—whose pap had been the
spoil of their country, and who held places before

The second Resolution was then carried unani-
mously. _ _

; • Ti; third and fourth Resolutions were then put
-and carried unanimously.
On the fifth Resolution being proposed,
Sir W. CURTIS canse forward. rite worthy Al-
derman observed, ha had been called upon by the
Gentleman who opened. the bosiness:of the day, to
,deliver his opinion : he hoped, therefore, the LiVery
would grant him a hearing—He fully agreed in all
which had been said of the virtues of his Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales ;. and no man had
more reason than himself personally to acknow-
ledge them. He had known his Royal Highness
from his infancy, and had always received the most
marked attention from him. He was the man above
all others,. • who ought to be Regent; but till no
hopes remained of his Majesty's recovering that
which we all lamented he had lost, .be (Sir W.)
could • not consent to the Prince being appointed
without some restri6tion. He hoped the Livery
would suffer him to state his sentiments. He d d
it wiih respect towards them, and was sorry he dif-
fered from their opinion..He thought a reasonable
time should be allowed. for hisMajeaty's recovery'. He

Mr, Alderman,Coung said, the moment woe now

forward in support• of the rights of the Crown, and
they ought to defend them as they would their own
