by the Lord Mayor's Chair. The LADY MAVORESI
also retired to the tea and coffer-roam.
The business of the evening having been resumed,
The Loan MAToR gave the health of the Chancellor
of the Exchequer, who returned bis acknowledgments.
. The Duke of YORK gave the health of the late Lord
Mayor,—(Loud Cheers.)
Mr. Alderman TIIORP said he felt highly compli-
mented by the toast which had just been given, es-
pecially when it came from so illustrious a quarter.—
He was glad to see his worthy successor surrounded
and supported by such illustrious characters ; and with
such advantages he trusted their new Lord Mayor
would go through his honourable office with satisfac-
tion to himself and advantage to his fellow-citizens.—
(Loud applause.)
" The Foreign Ministers with three times three." The
Portuguese Ambassador, in his own name, and in the
name of those who were near him, returned thanks for
the honour that had been paid them.
The healths of the Judges and the Sheriffs having
been given, the health of the Members of the City of
London in Parliament was announced, and loudly ap-
plauded.
Sir W. CURTIS rose, and was received with much
good humoured applause. He was glad, in times like
the present, to see themselves surrounded with such
illustrious honourable company ; what he beheld con-
vinced him that the good old times had come round
again.—(Laughter and cheers.)—The appearance of
the Hall assured him of their loyalty. To say that the
City was not loyal, was a libel.—(Huth laughter and
cheering.)—Men's minds would at times wander ; but
eventually they would come round. So be hail found
it.--(Cbeering.)--He had been returned for the City
seven times. He had been to a distant put of the
kingdom, and oh ! bad they been there, as he bad, and
bad they seen what he had seen, they would never
forget the events.
Alderman BRIDGES and Mr. WILSON returned

thanks, and after some further toasts the distinguished
company retired. The tables were cleared away to
make room for dancing, which was kept up to a late
hour.

The dinner passed off uncommonly well. The
courses and wines provided were excellent ; the regu-
lations good ; and the general appearance of the Hall
most satisfactory.
It was balf-put six when the dinner commenced,
and half-past ten when the Duke of York, the Minis-
ters, &e. retired.

STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

There is little doing in the Market this morning.
Consols opened at 78, sellers, and they have now be-
wine buyers.

Paris papers arrived this morning to the Bth inst.
--An article from The IVuremberr, Gazette, datel
Trieste. October 20, states, that two vessels had ar-
rived at that Port from Corfu, bringing the following
account relative to the operations of the Ottoman
deet.—" On the morning of the 12th of September, a
strong division of this fleet appeared in the Bay of
Coro, and some miserable Greek vessels were destroy-
ed almost without resistance. The Greek troops which
besieged the place strove to oppose the debarkation,
which took place after a desperate contest of eight
hours, and by favour of a sortie which was made suc-
cessfully, and after which the besieged shut themselves
up in the castle. The Turks then commenced to sack
and pillage all they could lay hands on, and they con-
ducted themselves with a cruelty which freezes one
with horror. The Greek army which occupied the
coast was repulsed without performing any great
achievement; and the place was re-provisioned. On the
16th another debarkation was attempted near Modo,
but with less success, and a general landing was to
take place on the 30th of September at Patras.—
The Barbary vessels probably here made their kyle-
don with the Turkish fleet and the squadron from
Egypt. The Greek marine forces appear to have re-
tired immediately. It is probable they separated to
defend the islands to which they respectively be-
longed."
The last accounts from Barcelonetta are dated the
28th of October. For two days previous to that date
there had been no deaths, nor any new cases. The ra,
rages of the yellow-f►ver were considered as having en-
tirely subsided. All the French physicians were well.
Some of the French papers, however, seem to doubt
the correctness of the above information.

Prince Gregory Ypsilanti, the youngest of Alexan-
der's brothers, arrived in Paris, on Monday last, to
finish his course of education.
The French Chamber of Peers assembled on Tues-
day, and after some trifling business adjourned.
The Chamber of Deputies also met on the same day.
Thirty-six Members appeared on Me right side, eight
in the centre, and only three on the left side, when the
sitting commenced. The Chamber proceeded to elect
Iby lot the Members of the Bureaux. After this was
•', done, M. Mechin proceeded to make some oblate's-
I tions, which gave rise to a slight degree of tumult,
during which, one •r two of the Members in vain at-
tempted to be heard. The Chamber adjourned with-
out coming to a decision on any proposition made.

[FROM A NEW" TORII PAPER OP THE P2TH I:LT.)
CLAIMS UNDER THE SPANISH TREATT.A Pal
graph has appeared in the N. Y. Evening Post, 04,1
we copied into our paper, stating that no de►iraeicc
claims would be allowed by the Commissioners, 04
that therefore all the claims of insurance offices kw
insurers would be excluded. From the best infect,
tion that we can obtain, we should conclude, 0)&164
report must have arisen from misapprebensiqs.
have never yet understood, that the Coturnissionen
under the treaty, were vested with any right or power
to inquire into the mode in which the property is gay
claim was acquired. Their business we bare lalliCS
understood to be, to examine into the justice of the
claims, and having decided this question, whether
they be in the hands of the original sufferers or have
passed through several purchasers, can be of little
portance.

Besides which we consider the claims of the iostmr
not only as just, but as equitable as those of- any other
claimant—and the losses as directly felt by thesafferer.
We may have been misinformed, but our present be.
lief is that the claims of the insurer will be as readily
allowed as those of the merchant. We have bower",
been induced to thus express our opinion by the hope,
that it might be the means of inducing those who hem
the means of obtaining correct information, to impot
as much of it as may be proper, for the benefit of the
community.

It gave us pleasure to see the Lord Mayor's proses.
lion deprived of its useless pageantry, which like the
pageantry at the Theatres, is only for the amusement
of little boys and girls, not for rational beings who rill
not resign the other senses to, the empty gratificatisa
of the eyes. The Lord Mayor and Sheridi sot kit;
very popular, chewed their prudence in the omission,
particularly as any thing in the shape of soldiers is oL•
noxious, and the more especially if they do tot con-
duct themselves with the same propriety as the Oxford
Blues bare done ; and any symptom of dissatisfaction
at their appearance would have fallen deservedly upon
those Ministers, whose Ignorance. nod imlistatthave
not only insulted the city upon many occasiosa kt
more particularly during the last year. It maybe
spiked, why did the King refuse the petitions of if
City of Lodon ? Why did be dine with the Lod
Mayor of Dublin, whose conduct but a abort timer.
viously had been so severely scanned in a certain hoes
near Palace-yard? W by did Ministers make hie
every thing in Dublin and Hanover, and not half it
much in the place of his Ma;esty's nativity? Thisir
in every mouth. It is the first interrogatory in co •
men conversation. That be was an lashings in
Dublin ; a German in Hanover ; and in Load*,
the seat of the Government, a recluse, hidden from tie
eyes of his loyal subjects, and kept, like a bird is a
cage, and, for what purpose ? Surely, not for feu
that his MAJESTY might hear the conduct of his NI
nisters rung in his ears, lest the whole of their
arc
rule might be vociferated in place of these kilnl
shouts which would have accompanied thelityo, as they
have his MAJESTY'S forefathers. Ilia MAJESTY is
well
aware of all this, and why does he not remedy it? He
may make a better choice ; he cannot make a worst,
There can be nothing to dread on that score. fin
klazaary is fond of slow and parade, he knows the
loyalty of the citizens of London besides all this. The
LORD MAYOR and SHERIFFS are devoted to the powers
that be, and so strongly impressed was an oppositios
Common Councilman with the glory of entertaisist
Royalty, that the disappointment drove away his 21'•
petite, and made him rat to the sapient alcoves of Ike
Home Department, in order to recover it, who
another great man took a hop, step and a jaw, 6•111
Smithfield to Clerkenwell, to ahew himself as wise a'
he has done at the LUMBER TROOP. Along wlth
those grievances the ladies are disappointed in not
receiving the affectionate nod of the first goat*" '3
Europe, and the silk mercers sympathise with the
milliners and dress-makers on the great, the lamentable
loss that must follow his MAJESTY'S absence. An-
other injury the city has sustained, Sir WiLLIANhas
been studying a Royal Speech for the last three months,
which he can't accommodate to any other vocation.—
Even with the help of the professors at Brebhaw
College, these are not titles in the scale of 114"
Politics, though they spew the people that )11.
misters have been as great enemies to Baechot,
Moms and Venus, as they have been to Nagm
Charta, the Bill of Rights, and Act of Settlewent.
These high crimes and misdemeanor' cry aloud fur
redress, particularly so, as there is little prospect CI
their removal. By secluding his Majesty from that
I intercourse with his subjects which should exist
rn
every free Government, they render him unpitpulat

feelings, and and redress the sufferings of the people. The
King don't want the inclination were he left. to his
own la, but he is so hoodwinked, so bewildered with
the toils they have spread around him, that his beat in-
teations are frustrated by their interested advice. That
a barrier is formed between him and his subjects we
deplore, yet we hope, and trust that this unnatural
hhstruction will be shortly levelled and removed.

The Dublin papers, which arrived this morning,
tootlin extracts from the Limerick Chronicle of the
instant, but happily not a single instance of any
'deb outrages as have recently afflicted that unhappy
county. The articles relative to the public meeting
it Kilkenny, and to a recent meeting of the Aldermen
of Dublin to endeavour to palliate their supineness on
the decoration of the Statue of King Wirmait, will
be read by those wbo are attentive to the progress of
opinion in Ireland, with no inconsiderable interest.

Yesterday the Duke of York paid a visit to the King
at his Palace, in Pall-mall, on his arrival in England.
The • Marqueas of Londonderry had a long audience
of lb. King yesterday.
The Lords Justices of the Administration of the
Gerenunent during his Majesty's absence from Eng-
laad, did nut meet on Thursday, as stated in a paper of

yesterday.
On Tuesday his Royal Highness the Duke of Glon
rester arrived at Cossey on a visit to Sir George atti
Lady Jerninghaut, when a party of friends was in-
vited to meet the Duke. His Royal Highness left
Cossey for Rainham on Friday.
The flight Hon George Canning left Tuddenham,
the residence of his relation the Rev. E. Mellish, after
a visit of a few days, at the end of last week.
The Subscription to indemnify Sir Robert Wilson
proceeds with spirit through the country. The last
list exhibited an addition of above 4001.
The Citizens, it is understood, are extremely in-
dignant at the manner in which the business relative
to Lord Mayors' Day has been conducted. It is usual
for the Lord Mayor elect to nominate eight Gentle-
men out of his own Ward to form part of the Corn-
utittee to conduct the arrangements, each Sheriff
naming four in the same way. The new Lord Mayor,
however, has resorted to Walbrook Ward, at the in-
stance, it is understood. of Alderman Atkins, and has
appointed Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Woodward. We have
sot learnt whether those Gentlemen possess more talent
or property than the Gentlemen of the Lord Mayor's
Ward ; bat thus the matter stands, and, it is thought,
will be the subject of discussion in the Court of Com-
Imo Council. The most rigid system of economy is
shout being practised by the new Lord Mayor, u may
be seen by the account of yesterday's procession ; not
a man in armour was to be seen, or any of the usual
attendants on the 9th of November. Mr. Sheriff Oar-
ntt's friends on the Committee were desirous of keep-
Mg up the usual style on the occasion. but the Lord
Mayor refused. The expense would have been about
140. it also appears that domestics who have been
at the Mansion House upwards of 20 years have been

good hying was kept up to the usual tone. Most of
the taverns were occupied by the different companies.
The London Coffee-house entertained three, among
these was the Worshipful Company of Glaziers.—
Their master, T. Obedebild, Esq. was in the Chair,
sepported by Messrs. Brown and Jones, their wardens,
with 50 other gentlemen, who sat down to an excellent
dinner at 4 o'clock. The entertainment and wines were
good, and the company cheerful. The party were en-
tertained by a variety of songs, until 10 o'clock, when
they retired well pleased with the evening's amusement.
An individual in the Pay Department of the Vic-
tnalling-offiee has soddenly decamped with a consi-
derable sum of the public money. But it is not
true, as has been insinuated, that the fraud arose from
any want of expedition or caution in the Audit of Pub-
lic Accounts. Not only has the Public Account of
this person been audited up to Christmas last, but his
receipts and payments since that time have been regu-
larly examined and checked once a fortnight by the
Victualling Board. As far as the investigation has
proceeded, the fact appears to be, that this person
Wei that the office he held was to be abolished at
Christmas next, and that he would then be compelled
to re►ire upon a pension considerably lower than his
salary—that two days before he disappeared, a sum of
money bad been transferred tohis account at the Bank
of England, to enable him to carry on the public pay-
ments—and that in the course of these two days, be
bas drawn out a large part of the sum so transferred.
and has carried it off with him.—(Ministerial paper.)
The American ship Franklin, of 7.1 guns, preparing
for an expedition to South America, has a library of
2,500 books on board.
The commercial regulations of Russia have appeared.
respecting the settlements of that empire along the
north-west coast of America, the Aleutian islands, and
the east coast of Siberia. The line of maritime and
commercial dominion thus covered by the decrees
of the cult •m-house of Sr. Petersburg extends
along the American coast fnll 10 deg. of latitude from
Belling's Straits, in about 61 N. to 51 N. in the neigh-
bourhood of Nootka ; and on the Asiatic side, from
the same Straits of Miring, above 15 degrees along
the Eastern coast of Kamtschatka, and down to the
South Cape in the Island of Ourop, lat. 45 deg. 51
min., not very far North of the Empire of Japan. The
I regulation is nothing less than a prohibition to all
foreign nations to commence the whale or other fish-
ery, or any other branch of trade or industry, on any
part of the aforesaid coasts or islands, or to approach
any one of the Russian settlements within a less dis-
tance than 100 Italian miles, under the penalty of
losing the cargo. There is an exception in fa►our of
ships driven in by stress of weather, and of ships
sent out on voyages of discovery, being previously
provided with passports from the Russian Minister of
Marine. If any thing be necessary to evince the high
Pretensions of Russia to exercise dominion where ahe
can, the above is surely sufficient.
Mr. OWEN'S PLAN.—The proposals of Mr. Owen,
of New Lanark, are at length in a fair way of being
subjected to the test of experience. The subscription
for erecting one of his projected villages at Mother-
well, near Hamilton, already amounts to nearly
30,0001. and is prosperously filling ny.--CfPB;4l"e4
