RotRwELL and PARKINS) waited on the QUEEN, to know at what time her MAJESTY would be pleased to receive the Address of the Corporation, and that, her MAJESTY had appointed this day, at one o'clock, for receiving the Address. Long before the arrival of the Sheriffs at her MAJESTY'S residence, in Portman street, a great crowd of respectably-dressed persons had assembled in front of the house where her MA JESTY resides, in expectation of their arrival, and they received them with cheers. The Sheriffs were not in the house more than a. quarter of an hour; and, as they retired, the crowd, which by this time was greatly increased, again greeted them with al . . plause. Her MAJESTY, at the same moment, ap peared in one of the small balconies attached to the windows of the drawing-room. The cheers were in stantly renewed, with the utmost enthusiasm, accom /*flied with the clapping of hands, and every ex pression of attachment and respect. The QUEEN appeared sensibly affected by the ardour which was manifested, and, having made three very graceful. obeisances, she immediately retired ; whilst cries of " GOD bleu you!"—" Long live the QUEEN!" &c. re sounded on all sides. The Sheriffs carriages now drove off, and shortly afterwards the greater part of the crowd had disFersed. Her MAJESTY was dressed in black silk, with a rich collar of point lace ;.and wore a black velvet hat and plume of -ostrich feathers. She appeared in ex cellent health. By eleven o'clock this morning, the LORD MAYOR, the Sheriffs, the Recorder, the Aldermen, Commpn Councilmen, and City Officers, began to assemble at Guildhall, for the purpose of putting the Procession in order ; and such were the precautions previously taken, that there was comparatively little confusion among the number of cars iages (39) in setting down and taking up their company at the Hall. At twelve o'clock the Procession . set off, accompanied by an immense concourse of people. They were greeted from the wiAdows of the streets through which they passed, the Ladies waving their handkerchiefs and the Gentlemen their hats. A few minutes before one o'clock the Precession reached her MAJEsry's residence in Portman-street, where they were hailed by an immense assemblage of well-dressed people, with "Long live the QUEEN!" GOD bless her MAJESTY !"—Every arrangement had been made for the reception of the Corporation and after their admission, the City Recorder read the following • ADDRESS " To the QUEEN'S Most Excellent Majesty. " The dutiful and loyal Address of the Lord Mayor, Alder men, and Commons of the City of London, in COMMOI2 Council assembled. 4, MAT IT 'LIAM YOUR MAJZSTT, " We, lfis Majesty's ever-dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, approach your Majesty with sin cere expressions of loyalty, attachment, and regard. We condole with your Majesty on the various afflictions your Majesty has sustained, since your departure from this coun try, by the loss of so many illustrious personages of your Ma jesty's family, especially by the demise of our late beloved Sove- Feign. your Majesty's paternal guardian, whose countenance and support. under the most trying circumstances, gave the best pledge to the Nation of your Majesty's innocence, and the firmest protection against all your enemies ; and also that of your amiable and illustrious daughter, the Princess Charlotte, the fond hope of Britain, whose memory will be ever dear to an affectionate People. " Deeply attached to the Royal Family, and anxious for the preservation of the public tranquillity, we feel ourselves called upon to express our earnest hope that the differences which un fortunately subsist, may be arranged in a manner suitable to your majesty, as well as to your Royal Consort, and satisfactory to the country ; and that, should an investigation of these differ ences be still unhappily resorted to, recognizing the dignified firmness which your Majesty has manifested, by the solemn pro. test you have entered against all secret investigations of your conduct, so repugnant to common justice, and to the feelings of Englishmen, we trust such investigation will be conducted in an open and impartial manner, and tetminate in the complete vin dication of your Majesty's honour. " We rely upon your Majesty's gracious acceptance of this Address, as a proof of the loyalty and affection of your faithf u l ; Citizens of London, and of their attachment to the Illustrious Muse of Brunswick, who, they ttust, will long continue to sway the British Sceptre, and maintain.the liberties and happi ness of the People." Her MAJZSTY was evidently much affected during the reading of the Addrcss, but bore the pressure of her recollections with dignified self•command. When the Address was finished, and after a pause of a few moments, the QUEEN returned a most gra.. cious answer. A verbal copy had not reached us when we were obliged to pot our Paper topress but it was sive of the sense siie entertained Orthis expression of affection and regard on the part of the City of London; and which had impressed on the mind of her MAJZSTY, feelings that no time or circumstances would ever be able to obliterate. The Corporation had then the honour to kiss her MataisTy's hand, and retired. On regaining their carriages they were again saluted by the immense concourse assembled on this occasion, and then returned to the City in the same order in which they had come. A considerable degree of agitation prevailed in the City this forenoon, in consequence of various reports which are afloat, respecting some insubordination evinced on the part of the numerous military sta tioned in and about the Metropolis. We have made every enquiry in our power into the origin of these rumours, and we regret extremely to have to state that, though greatly exaggerated, they are not alto gether destitute of foundation. Of the cause of discontent we have received so many conflicting accounts, that we forbear at present from repeating any of them ; but of this much our Readers will be glad to be assured, that it is limited to a few of the troops, and offers no ground for seri ous apprehension. A division of one of the Regi ments of the Foot Guards (the 3d, we believe) were suddenly marched of this morning to Portsmouth. Since writing the preceding, we have been favoured, from a respectable source, with the following parti lars " For several days, a considerable-degree of dis content was manifest amongst the soldiers of the Ist Battalion of the 3d Regiment of Guards. Yesterday morning, they shewed strong marks of insubordina tion. After guard was relieved, they *ere required to give up their arms and ammunition, which they did, but not without some hesitation. " Orders were immediately given for their being marched of, and the first division left town this morning. On passing before the Horse Guards, they were cheered by these on duty. The second division marches to-morrow. " His Royal Highness the Duke of GLoucErrsn. who is Colonel of the Regiment, was this morning a considerable time in consultation with the COu- MANDEA•IN-CHIEF. " It is rumoured that the detachment halted a-few miles from town, and refused to proceed. " It is also, said that the other battalion of the same regiment, stationed at Windsor, and some of the Blues, have been guilty of a similar breach of discipline. " What gives this occurrence rather a serious aspect, is an attempt that was made by _some of the 3d regiment to tamper with a part of the Cold stream regiment. 4 , It appears, however, that the principal cause of discontent consisted in a dislike to the new Barracks, at the Mews, and to the extra duty of patrolling fat 1 night, 'without receiving the douceur granted to the' troops during the Corn Bill riots." The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon. The. particulars with which they furnish us of the concluding debate on Monday, on the EleCtion Law, are not possessed of much interest. AL SAVOY }lot us, in stating his reason for supporting the Project, as amended by M. Boss, gave what we apprehend may be regarded as a pretty correct representation of the feelings of all that middle party, by whose support the new law has been carried. lle .6 voted for the Amendment, because he voted against civil war !" The left side were vehement for a still far ther prolongation of the discussion, but were stoutly opposed by the majority of the Chamber, who ap peared resolved to bring it to an immediate termina tion, even at the hazard of dining a few hours later than usual. M. CASSIMER PERRIER asked Ministers if they wished also to sabre the discussion, by thus pressing it so hastily to a conclusion ? At six o'clock, the cries of " To-morrow—to-morrow !" became incessant from the left benches, but the Ministerial party still persevered, till at half-past seven the way was finally cleared for taking the vote on the whole of the Law by nominal appeal. Thl result was in substance, though not numerically, the same as that communi cated by the telegraphic dispatch from Calais. The votes were—For the Project, 154—Against it, 95 Majority, 59. Of the state of the Capital, the most recent account we meet with is the following, in the Journal de Paris: " PARIS, JUNE 12—Ten (Mock at Night. " A considerable number Opersons again collected to"-day on the Boulevards, near the gates of St. Mar tin and St. Denis, but no tumultuous assemblages were formed, nor were any cries heard. Numerous, detachments of the National Guard, of the Royal Guard, and of the Troops of the Line, are stationed on the Boulevards. -All is perfectly tranquil at the moment we now write." On the 31st ult. Stephen Joimexet , was sentenced by the Assize Court of the Upper Gironne, to five years imprisonment, and a fine of 500 francs, for seditious exclamations and offensive language re specting the King and Royal Family. On the 7th inst. the Court of Assize at Bourdeaux , sentenced two persons, named Foams and Duffiesit, , for a like offence ) to eighteen mouths imprisonment, * and sae • 4E SOO francs each, with payment o f coat of process. • Five per cents. Monday, /dr. Mails have arrived to-day from Han burgh and 'Flanders. • The people of Hanover are in confident expecta , tion of a visit from his MAJESTY, soon after the Co ronation. The enterprizing MAHOMED Ati, Pacha of Egypt, has sent a corps of troops to Lybia, to subdue the Arab tribes that inhabit that country, which is very rich in natural productions, and who greatly molest the trading caravans. • Several travellers who joined this expedition, in order to visit the Temple of Jupiter Ammon, report that this bold enterprize has been retarded, not so much by the Arabs as by the plague which broke out among the troops. The PACHA has, however, immediately sent rein forcements. He has likewise sent seven or eight thousand men to Nubia, to subdue the Mamelukes who still live in that country, in order to unite with his Government that Province, which supplies the markets of the East with abundance of elephants' teeth, ostrich feathers, gum. tamarinds, &c. The prepara tions against Ala PACHA of Janina continue, and the troops of various PACHAS are assembling to march against him. Pzummt PACHA, who commands the expedition, has asked from the Porte a reinforce ment of artillery, and has received 80 cannon, with three companies of artillery. The latest accounts from Bagdad say, that the Schah of PERSIA is still dangerously ill, and that there is scarcely any hopes of his recovery. His death cannot fail to be attended with very serious conse- !nences to the internal tranquillity of that empire, as the numerous Sans of the Sovereign, who govern in the several provinces, do not seem disposed to leave the Throne, according to their father's will, to Amts ifISZA, one of the younger sons. The Porte sent an Agent some time ago to Teheran, as well on account of the differences still subsisting respecting the fron tiers, as to obtain information respecting the actual state of things in that country. Sir R. LISTON, the British Ambassador, has lately had a conference with the Reis Effendi respecting the new Tariff, which is to be drawn up according to those which Austria and France have agreed to. Hamburgh Exchange on London-36,4-36, 7. Jamaica Papers arrived this forenoon to the Ist of May. His Grace, the Governor, had been pleased to postpone the sailing of the I.ldy Wellington packet , until the 9th May, owing to the badness ofthe weather. ' The President of the Venezuelian Government ar irivedin London this morning. The following is an extract of a letter from the Agents at Lloyd's at Genoa, dated the Sd instant:— " fhe Santa Croce, corvette, sailed from Gibraltar about four months since for titii port, and has not since been heard of. She bad on board a valuable cargo of colonial produce, some cases of gold dust, and gold in bars." Another letter of the same date says—" We had an account by a Swede, about four days - since, of his passing fourteen dead men, floating on the water, pinioned together. They are conjec tured to have been the crew of a Genoese brig which sailed from hence four months since, for Gibraltar, with a considerable quantity of specie on board, and has not since been beard of.' Extract of a letter from Bayonne, dated June 4 gi 'The entry into Werke of Newspapers from the Pe ninsula, is prohibited with more caution than the Se cretary of State for the Home Department endea vours to exclude the plague from the shores of the United kingdom. On prosecuting my inquiries, I have understood that the agents cf Police are con stantly on the look-out to prevent the circulation or entry of all the Spanish Journals, Pamphlets, &c. while it is not more than a month ago that they vi sited the coffee-houses, for the purpose of seizing the Papers which found their way to Bayonne. So much . for the blessings of the Charter! The prohibitive system does not, however, I am happy to say, pre vent matters from going on most favourably for the cause of nations, in Spain. The result of several con versations with travellers just returned from Madrid and Cadiz, enables me to inform you, that nothing can exceed the joy manifested by .the - people on having regained their independence, which they are to a man resolved to defend at thehazard of their lives. With a few exceptions, the Elections are completed ; and what is still mere important, the choice of the people has Mien on the most enlightened men and distinguished Patriots of Spain. It is also fully ex pected that the Cortes will meet at Valladolid on the 9th instant. Quiroga (now a General) and his co adjutor, Riego, aided by the Junta of Cadiz, have titenty-four thousand men under arms in the Island of Leon, which they are fortifying more strongly than ever, lest any attempt from within or without should induce Ferdinand toforget his late oath. You have, no doubt, heard, that when the highest military I order in the gift of his Catholic Majesty was lately sent to the modern Timoleon, he modestly declined accepting it, saying that he was most warmly attached to the Sovereign, and required no other reward than the consciousness of having served his country! —Upon a more recent occasion, the whole of the troops, as if anxious to emulate the disinterested heroism of their Chief, unanimously gave up a gra tuity tendered by Government in consideration •of their services. The motive alleged is also worthy of remark, viz. that they wanted noetcompense till after the assemblage of the Cortes, and that the Constitu tion was finally established. If this does not present a new era in the military character, where are we to find one? There are a variety of anecdotes in circu lation relative to the firmness and presence of mind of FERDINAND when the Revolution was effected, which would induce a belief , that he has been more led astray by others than influenied by the dictates of his own mind. Be this as it may, there is no doubt of the QuEEN's having taken a most-active and ad mirable part in the late glorious change.' -z• FUNERAL OF MR. ATP 4N. At a quarter before twelve o'clock, this day, Ole Funeral Procession of the late Right Hon. lli.ny GRATTAN, one of the Members for the City of Dob lin, began to move front Richmond House, Privy Gardens. It was previously marshalled in the area before the house, and then passed out through the gateway in front of Downing-street.

The Procession reached the great Western door of Westminster Abbey at half-past twelve &ace:, where the Funeral was met by the Dean and Clic;-, who chaunted PURCELL'S fine Anthem of Hear Prayer, as the Procession moved slowly up to :.: vault, which is situated near the tomb of LOA CUATRAM. The Funeral Service was then read by the DEAN, and the solemn service of interring the venerable and distinguished Patriot then terrn:ni:cil The streets in the neighbourhood' were crowded, at I the whole ceremony was conducted in the most appropriate manner.
