London. Ha 04 then 'Oarticularty. rcque.t thaA
the Lord Majut wetiledeatand an audience,
and in-doing so he feltly happy in coo-
plying with the wis of the Common Hall,
which the Resolutions of that day more fully
confirmed. But -it was easy to' perceive .from
vhence those insinuations had tak.en their rise—he
could name the parsess who had so basely accused
!tint of an littempt to introit the grey hairs of his
nijesty. Suck au insinuation would always be,
heard true the enemies of liberty ; but he thought,
it more becomittg the dignity of his character to
treat them with that silent contempt their malicious
conduct no eminently deserved. He felt in corn-
mon with the indepeodent Citizens of London,
tile neemisity there was, that the late Petition
:•hould have bees presented to his Majesty,
and they might rely that no exertion should be
wanted, on his-part, to convey the Resolutions
passed that day to the Royal ear.—[The worthy
Sheriff' then retired amidst unbounded applause.)
Mr. Sneriti ATKINS then appeared on the
front of the Hustings, where he in vain endeavour-
ed to obtain a hearing,• and retired ;—but again
presenting himself, the uproar subsided, and he
said that he had no object in view, nor had he any
wish to intrude himself on the attention of the Li-
very. lie had no other motive than to comply
with a call which had come from different parts of
the Hall, desiring he would come forward. If there
eras any question to be put, be was ready to answer
it in the most unequivocal manner; he was left
without any thing to say.—(Loud laughter). If
there was no question to propose, he would take
the liberty of petting one.,Was there any part
of his duty which had not been most fully and at-
tentively discharged? If his oonduct bad not
been marked by a strict adherence to the most
htinoerable principles, ho could not stand forth as
be did, the firm and undaunted supperter of that
character which was endeavoured to be traduced.
Hail there been any reason assigned for not includ-
ing hie name in the Vote of Thanks, he would
have felt much pleased, as he could then have met
the charge in a fair and open manner. He had
but one short thing--[Here the worthy Sheriff
hesitating, a roar of laughter burst forth from ,
every part of the Hall---even the Bench itself was
nut wholly freerfrom the infection.]---Thc worthy
Sheriff contiquid..-but one short word to say_-.
[The laugh was renewed, and the worthy Sheriff
retired.]
Mr. Sheriff WOOD then addressingthe Livery,
assured them that he felt it his duty to state, that
In the excention of their directions with respect to
presenting the Address, hi. worthy coadjutor,
Mr. Sheriff Atkins, had in every respect conduct-
ed himself with the most active zeal to obtain the
object of thilr wishes. [This was ree,eloed uith
great applause.]
Thi.. Crier then adjourned the Meeting.

Tua reports brought. by vessels from Holliad

it seems? not entirely without hope • that King

rectors are-said to be less gloomy; but es we hive
already observed, sinless- official and authorized
communications are laid before the Public, the an-
favourable accounts will be believed, •
-The substance of. what has hitherto transpired
by remoter is, briefly-I-That the whole of the na-
tive army on the Madras Establishment was in a
state of open mutiny, and had taken possession of
Hyderabad and Siringapatans.
That 11,000 European troops were marching
against the matiseers, whn had fortified themselves
id those places.
That Lord MINT° had arrived at Maki%
which Sir GIORGE BA atgow had not quittediiiitt
'had retired to the Government Houses within the
fortress.
Next to the Mutiny at the Note, this II the
isost awful shock which has been felt'by England.
Wire shall rejoice to learn, that these events have
been • exaggerated..-but to doubt the existence of
immineat danger were as absurd as it impossible.
A LYTTEI from Vienna aneoences, and that
very coafidently, the total defeat of the 'Lesbian
army by the Turks, who compelled them to ripess
the Danube with precipitation. This intelligeuce
which, were it true, might be deemed highly import.
ant, must be viewed as very doubtful. The politics of
Vienna naturally lean at this moment to 'flukey-7
and the reported defeat of the Russians would be
received in that city with as great avidity, though
possibly with not quite such easy credulity, as
that of the massacre of 25,000 armed French,
who were said and believed to have been " put to
dm knife" by an undisciplined. rabble at Madrid,
about twelve months.ago.

• ar:

MR. BRANDON.
The following Letter has been'tratunitted to
this Office for publication, and appeared this day
in the several Morning-Papers t
TO TifE PUBLIC.
Now that the late unfortanate shyers relative to Covent-
Omen Theatre um happily at an end, r trait that I shall not
he awned of pressmaptioa Wilms arming forward in my own
behalf, and Waking the hope that I eine shall not be ex-
cluded from the general amnesty. I have been S 9 years in
the Box-Oilice of that Theatre, and I humbly appeal to its
whetherstiering that long period, I have oot served
them with the almost fidelity, seal, and impartiality. It
was with- the deepest regret, independently of all personal
cansidnations, that, .in my anxiety to discharge what I coo-
ceived to be my duty, I found I had gives offence to any in-
dividual.
I presume to hope, that the feelings which urged my dis-
mission from a situation that had so long held, have sub-
sided, and that the Public at large will accept my hearty
contrition as an atonement for every thing that bas been
deemed improper in my conduct. It then, the characteris-
tic geonesity and clemency of F,nglishine4 will accept this
shmere eapression of regret, and_ prink me to resume my
station, it shall be my connate endeavear, by every exer-
lien, to evince my gratitude for their kindness.
1 have the honour to subscribe myself,
Their most devoted and very humble Servant,
Bow-street, Covent-Garden, JAMES BRANDON.
Tuesday, Jan. 9, 1810.
Mr. BRANDON has thus made that bttatble pub-
lic, apology and appeal for.pardon, ;oleo as 'in.
suited and au outraged Public lied a right to
expect.
That the zeal of Mr. BRANDON, in the service of
his employers, greatly eneeeded the bounds of ail
propriety, and even decency, is incontrovertible.
Such conduct cannot be too strongly reprobated ;
but as Mr. BRANDON has now publicly made the
amende honorable; and expressed his "hearty
contrition" fur the very impropsr conduct, of
which he has been guilty, we thiiikt and sincerely
hope, that this appeal to the "charcicteristic ge-
" nerosity and ckmency of lenglishmen," will.
not be made* in vale.
Over all that has pawed, we wisb to cast the
veil of oblivion • and we shall therefore now take.
our final leave of the subject of the late contest;
by expressing a hope that the Proprietors, and
their Agents, will, for the time to come, have (he
discretion to abstain from insulting that Public,
on whose patronage must be founded their only
hope of success.•

On Monday evening, about eight Ofei.ooit: Ai)
alarming fire broke out in South-street, Chiches-
ter at the house of Mr. Asti:mews, Confectioner,
which entirely consumed the whole of his premises,
and three adjacent houses. The accident -hap-
paned through the Carelessness of a feniale ber-
vant while she was turning down the beds. On
discovering the fire, she gave the alarm, but in-
stantly ran out of the house; and has not since
been hoar.] of. 'rho valoable and extensive pre.
miles of Mr. WELLER? Messrs. RIDGES; and W.

very fortunately escaped.
On the night between Friday and Saturday
last, a most daring robbery was c-ammitted, in
the shop of Messrs. Cowan') and Co. silveismiths,
Sze. in Cornhill. The thieves, by means of in.
steuments, completed a breach through the win.
-dow-shatters, sufficient to admit a haud, iq spite
trf the difficulties which presented theniselves. The
shutters were lined with iron-plate, which, of it.
self, was deemed a sufficient security; bat to such
a pitch. of perfection have the burglars. brought
the instruments of their calling, that human pre-.
caution cannot guard igainst• them. By intro-
ducing their hands, and forcing a wire case, they
obtained In watches, silver articles, and light gold,
plunder to the amount of 4001. The gang coil-.
listed of several persons, who employed them-
selves in pacing the streets backwardi and for.
wards, net only by way of guarding against a
surprise, but also to make a noise to prevent the
instruments at work upon the shutters being heard.
At times, where they were occasionally disturbed,
the hole they had perforated was covered" by a
sheet of paper painted the colour of the shut.
