coy rile OP COMMON COUNCIL.

This day a Court was held, for the diipatch of mt

public and private business.

THE ANSWER Or THE KIM

The LoRD.MAYon acquainted the Court, that a
deputation had waited upon the King with the Ad-
dress of that Court ; to which his Majesty was gra-
ciously pleased to give an Answer—(Here his Lord-
ship read the Answer).

Mr. FAVELL said, be felt it his duty, upon hear-
ing this Answer to the Address, to move that the
Answer should be entered upon the Journals; but at
the same time, he must declare, that it was with
grief and pain that he observed that the Ministers of
the fourth Monarch of the House of Brunswick, at
a moment of such difficulty and anxiety to the
Throne and the Country, had been so foolish as
to advise an Answer so insulting to the Court, and
totally silent upon the subject of the complaints of
the Court, as well as misrepresenting the motives
by which the Court was actuated. He then moved
that the Answer should be entered upon the Jour-
nals, with a censure to the above effect, upon
the conduct of Ministers in giving such advice to
the King.
_

Mr. EICKE, in seconding the motion, lamented
deeply that his Majesty should have suffered himself
to be so advised by Ministers at a time like the present.
Mr. T. N. WILLIAMS asked if the Corporition
would send forth to the world a declaration•that Mi-
' nisters wanted to bring about a Revolution ? He
moved an Amendment, " that the Address be simply
entered on the Journals."
.•
Alderman C. SMITH seconded the motion.
Mr. NASH declared that the King was the most
accomplished Gentleman in his dominions, and he
would not have returned such an Answer to their
Address had he not been so advised by Ministers,
who had disgraced the CroWrn, the Country, and
themselves.

After some further discussion, in which Alderman
WAITIIMAN joined, and spoke with energy for the
original motion, Mr. FAVELCS Resolution was car-
ried by a large majority.

From the Bombay Coto ier of the 15th July :—" The
accounts tr- ,rn Trincomalee; by the late arriials, give
us the graillying assurance that the insurrection in
Kandy teas been completely subdued. The rebel
Chief, KASEKADUWEE, was delivered up by some
natives of the North-east part of Mateli ; and, in fact,
the whole island of Ceylon is in a state of perfect
tranquillity."
Letters have been received from Batavia down to
the beginning of August. The expedition against
Palembang had been given up, and the troops were
to embark for Macassar, to reduce to obedience the
SULTAN of BONI, the most powerful Prince of Ce-
lebes, who had proved refractory. Their giving up
the expedition against Palembang may be considered
as conclusis e of the weakness of the Dutch Govern-'
ment in the Archipelago. " Sincapore," says one let-
ter, " thtives most wonJetfully, and all the English
here are in raptures with it. The situation is in every
respect admirable ; and if your negociators give it up
they will deserve impeachment. The Dutch settle-
ment of Malacca declines as Sincapore advances:'
