t. buping that the esample of the Corporation of Lon.
Gxt would be followed throughout the country, and
that by such co-operation the people at I age would
a: length obtain an amelioration of their present
erpressed bit.ution, and a relief from the burdens
udder which they groaned. The people would, he

gr. Duos asserted, that the statement of the
flu. Gentleman, with tepid to his son, was a foul
aomny, as the lion. Gentleman must know. For
rabbi-, himself nor any member of his family owed
any idvour to the Administration alluded to, as he
bow odd the Hon. Gentleman. For the tact was,
that his soil had an appointment et ae4oo a year from
sex Duke of Portland ; the salary of which was, after
erne years, advanced to 4500, and not to #s X), as
tie Hon. Gentleman had stated. Ot his son himself
he could safely say, that be was an able man, and an
homier to human nature. (4 laugh.) This he lest
that he could affirm without incurring the charge of
asp weak partiality among those who knew his son;
and a!so that Government owed his son more than
1:: ever received from it, in conseqnence of the im-
portance of his services--that, indeed, he was never
rewarded in proportion to his meritt.—(Hear.)
A:r. Wairtubtrs called to the recollection of the
Curt that the Honourable Member himself had. on
another occasion, stated, in reply to a similar charge,
that !.is son's appointment was owing to Lord Grew

Mr. Dixon exclaimed, that he would let his letter
to Lord Glenville be poblicly read, for in that letter
}lulled his resolution not to desert his principles,

0.. the originai'Motion, there were, out of 160
Measbers present, only 13 hands held up against it ;
led against the Petition to the House of Commons
one was only one dissentient.
A Petition was preser.ted from Roma WILSON,
Esq. citizen and spectacle-maker, praying to be dis-
charged from his nomination for Sheriff, in conse-
trance of having lately served the (Alice of Sheriff
lot the county of Essex, and his lather having already
paid a fine to be exempt from his nomination ; which,
after some observations front Sr JAMS SHAW, Mr.

Yesterday the Court of Common Council met,
ritsuant to notice, and agreed to peti.ion Parliament
against the further suspension of the Habeas Corpus
Act. The Resolutions will be found in mu Front
Page• The Common Hall met this day to take the
sole subject into consideration, but had not finished
their business when this Parr was put tic Press. A
Requisition has been signed, addressed to the HIGII
Secure of Berks, with the same view. There are
also to be Meetings in Herts and in Wilts—and, pro-
114111Y, in other places, to Petition against any farther
suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act.

ft was mentioned some days ago in. the French
papers, in an article dated horn Cadiz, that the
British Vice. Consul at Algiers had been murdered.
We are sometimes slow in giving credit to reports
Coaling in this circuitous manner; but by Letters
it(or Liverpool received this morning, we are in-
termed, that accounts have also arrived there from
Cadiz, stating, that the Vice-Consul and several other
British subjects and Foreigners have been murdered
t Algiers. There is still one incongruity in the intelli.
Pace; for we have no Vice-Consul but a regular
Consul at Algiers. It is possible, however, that it
467 have been the Consul—or he may have been

temporarily absent, is "Mob ease it Is not On to
same a deputy till his return.

The repnrt of disagreeable intelligettet baying been
received from Spain, has subsided to.day. We may
therefore consider it as one of the Stock Exchange
productions. Nor li ore we, on inqdry, been able t'
hnd that there is Any truth in the rumour that Go.
vernment had ord Ted m-n of war and frigates to be
equipped for Sewn America.
