VOTE OF THANKS TO COLONEL WARDLE AND HIS SUPPORTERS; AND VOTE OF CENStRE ON THE LORD MAYOR, SIR WILLIAM crwris,silt CHARLES PRICE,AND MR.ALDERMAN SIIAW. At one o'clock, the multitude of Liverymen assembled at Guildhall was immense. Immediately on the LORD AlAYOft having ascended the Hustings, Mr. WAITHMAN, in a clear, nervous, and manly speech, opened the business of the Meeting, and concluded by submitting the following very spirited Resolutions to the consideration of the Livery. I. Resolved, That it long been a matter of notoriety, and has lately been proved beyond the possibility of doubt, that Abuses of a most corrupt nature and ruinous tendency have ex isted, and still exist, in the various branches of the administra tion of Public Affairs. 11. Resolved, That to detect such Abuses, and expose to de testation those Men who have wickedly connived at, or partici pated in them, requires no small degree of Virtue, Independence, and Patriotism ; all of which have been eminently displayed by Gwillim Lloyd Wardle, r:q. in instituting and conducting the late Inquiry into the Conduct of his Royal Highness the Duke of York. 111. Resolved, That he is, therefore, entitled to the Thanks and Gratitude of this Common Hall, for his persevering and in dependent EflOrts, which have already produced beneficial Fl eets, and arc likely to lead to still more ad% antageous Results— and they express their confidence, that having so manfully and ably commenced this arduous task, no difficulty or danger will damp his ardour, or impede his progress, in a cause so honour able to himself, and so essential to the best Interests of his Country. IV. Resolved, That upon the same principles, and for the same reasons, they do highly approve of the conduct of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart. (the Seconder), Lord V iscount Folk stone, Samuel Whitbread, Esq. Sir Samuel Romilly, Knt. and the rest of the One Hundred and Twenty-five honest and inde pendent Members, who supported Mr. Wardle's Proposition oo the 15th of March, 1809, and trust, that uninfldenced by Party, or feelings of Interest, they will support every Measure calcu lated to remove and root out Corruption. V. Resolved, That these Abuses form only a part of a wick ed and corrupt System, which has been long acted upon, and no permanent good can arise from the late Investigation, unless fol lowed up by a general Reformation of public Abuses in every Department of the Slate. cI. keenl ved, That the Corporation of London did, in peti tions, unanimously agreed to, and presented to both !louses of Parliament during the I&.t Sessions state, "That their bnrthens " had been con:;iderably augmented by gross abuses, in the ma " rtagement and expenditure of the Public Money,—by a profit " siim of sinceure Places and Pcnsio►is,—which hate not only " added to the sutferinl:s of the People, bnt created a pernicious " influence, corrupting and undermining the free principles of " the British Constitution." N . 11. Resolved, That no measures calculated to remove theFe opprebsicc a:►d alarming evil, ltme been 'et ,olopted, CUR
