Taupe far from beart—"
to deceive the people as to the cause of a delay which
certainly seems somewhat difficult of explanation, so long
as a civic officer is to be found competent to the discharge
of that duty for which the illness of the Recorder incapa-
citates him. The editors of these papers could explain
the delay, if they dared to speak out: but perhaps, like
wine worthy representatives of the people in our great
national assembly, the " organs of public opinion" may
be prevailed upon to decide the matter by a monosyllabic
vote ; and accordingly, I call upon them to state whether
the Duke of WELLINGTON did, or did not, on the ninth
day of this present November, at " an audience" with
which he honoured the members of the Corporation im-
mediately previous to the Grand Civic Banquet, declare
to them, in the most unreserved winner, that his MA-
JESTY would NOT receive tho Report from the Common
Sergeant? Did His GRACE, or did he not, on that oc-
casion enter into a very needless and uncalled for expo-
sure of his MAJESTY 's sentiments toward; Mr. DEN-
MAN ? Did His Guam or did he not, at the same

time take credit to himself for having procured for Mr.
Dawxiw that silk Own, which is likely to be the Only
reward of his eminent professional talents, and assert that
the Kinn only consented to that measure on the express
condition that be should not be required to extend to
Mr. DEN NAN the customary courtesy of kissing hands !
Alas, for Dex MAN ! Were the ermined robe the re-
ward of legal ability and professional zeal and integrity
alone, he would long since have graced the Bench—as
PICTON would have won and wore a coronet, had its
attainment depended upon the capture of a citadel.

LIVERPOOL, Nov. 21.—" We have the remarkable
fact to announce, that not a single bag of Cotton has been
imported this week, but the sales are again most exten-
sive, reaching 28,300 bags, including 6,000 American.
Pemeins and Marenhums taken on speculation at an ad-
vance of fully id. per 11?. Advices from New York, of
she 24th Oct. quote prices of Uplands at 8 to 10, and
the Premium of Exchange at 9i, being no alteration
from the advices of the 14th Oct. In Sugar, upwards of
1000 hogsheads have been disposed of this week, at
steady prices; in Coffee, 110 casks Jamaica, without any
material alteration in prices."
It is positively stated by the liberal journals of Paris,
that M. DE LA BOUROONITAVE has resigned ; and as
the ministerial papers offer no contradiction, the state-
ment obtains general credence. It is strengthened by
the publication of a Royal Ordonnance, by which the
Prince de POLIGNAC is appointed President of the
,Council
of Ministers—an honour for which it was pre-
viously understobd the Prince and M. DE LA BOUR-
DONNATE were rival candidates. The inference from
these movements is, that as the time approaches for the
Meeting of the Legislative Chambers, CHARLES the
TENTH grows alarmed at the prospect of finding a
majority of the Deputies against his present Administra-
tion, and endeavours to render it less unpopular by
getting rid of one of its most obnoxious members. It is
something, that a priest-ridden Bourbon King should be
sufficiently impressed with the necessity of conciliating
in some degree the national feeling, and of governing by
means of the majority of a representative body. To meet
the Deputies, however, with any chance of agreement,
the ministry must be further purged ; BounmowT must
follow Ls BOI7RDONNATE.
