On Saturday last, an assemblage of the Loyal and Independent Livery of London dined at the City of London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street, pursuant to Advertisement. At five o'clock, Alderman Smith, Esq. M.P. took the Chair, accompanied by Sir William Curtis, Bart. Sir James Shaw, Mr. Alderman Atkins, Dr. Duige nan, and some of the principal characters in the City. The meeting was numerous and respectable. On the removal of the cloth, the Chairman gave the health of our venerable Sovereign, which was drank with loud approbation, and every decorous tes timony of exultation ; a song succeeded, commemo rative of the excellence of his Majesty's private and kingly character. The health of his Royal Highness the Prince Re gent was next proposed from the Chair, and drank with three times three, and loud acclamation; a song followed, characteristic of the generosity, magnani- I mity and valour of the people of England. " The Queen and the rest of the Royal Family," was drank amidst repeated cheers, and much joy was demonstrated at drinking the " House of Brunswick, aret may they never forget the prlnci pleswhich placed them on the '1 of these Realms. . . - The Chairman proposed to drink the health of a staunch friend, and venerable and good supporter of the cause, which they had assembled to commemo rate, 64 Dr. Duigenan," which was done with much applause. 44 The Army and Navy" was next drank, and " Rule Britannia" was sung and chorussed in excel lent style. Di. DUIGF.NAN returned thanks in a short speech, in which he observed, he was now near 80 years of age, and ever since he could tell right from wrong, he had been the steady supporter of our Constitution in Church and State ; and such he trusted he should continue to the end of his lite—convinced that no in novations could be made in either without endan gering that excellent Constitution which we had so long enjoyed— (Applause. ) Dr. DU!GENAN then gave, 4g Sir William Curtis, and Sir James Shaw, and the other City Represen tatives, and may they continue to deserve the good opinion which the Livery entertained of them," which was drank with loud demonstrations of joy. Sir W. arms rose to return thanks, for the ho nour dine to himself, to Sir James Shaw, and the other Representatives. He was proud to be associ ated with a body of men so respectable as those pre sent ; he trusted that his conduct had deserved their approbation, he would endeavour to make it no worse, and as much better as possible—(Much Ap plause.) It mas a gratifying circumstance to him that he had served in so many Parliaments with the worthy Doctor (Duigenan), and had employed his poor abilities so as to deserve his approbation. He had hitherto preserved those principles with which he commenced ; he would maintain them still: they were, he apprehended, true constitutional principles, and a public sanction of them by an assembly so nu-' rnerous as that which he now addressed, would check the democratical spit it that had become too predo minant, and which nothing but the good sense of the people would effectually resist and subdue. He ear nestly entreated that the Livery would continue united in support of the Constitution—they had only to be firm and resolute, and though no prophet, he would prognosticate frcm that association, happiness tothem and the City of Lond, n (or many years to come. Alderman ATaixs said, he appeared now for the first time beLore his constituents since he was elected one of their Representatives ; he was proud of the honour, and would conduct himself in a manner that would not disgrace their choice. He would endea vour to curb the pto?, , ress of democracy—he would resist the prevalence of an aristocratical spirit—he would watch over the true interests of the city of Londi'n, and be ever zealous for the good of the country. He concluded by drinking the health of the Livery, and wishing them public happiness and domestic gratification— ( Loud cheering.) The health of Mr. C. Harvey, Member for Nor wich, having been proposed and drank with consi derable applause, the worthy Representative rose and returned thanks in a neat speech. The health of the Worthy Chairman was drank with loud applause, at the suggestion of Sir William Curtis. Mr. Alderman SMITH, M.P. said he felt high gra tification at this mark of their approbation, and, strongly impressed with the truth of those sentiments which they had just listened to, he concurred in ad monishing them to be watchful and vigilant against the influence of those persons who were tainted with a dernocrAtical spirit, who, though few an number, were remarkable for activity. He mentioned the ter rible consequences of a revolution; not that he thought such an event likely to happen, but none could tell what might happen ; the times were unset• tied, and they would do well to watch characters of a suspicious description. Institutions which main tained true constitutional principles were extremely valuable and necessary, and the young minds of the children of Englishmen ought to be nursed in opinions reverential of the Church and Constitution. a kind of education which the system of Dr. Bell had carried into peifection— (Loud applastre:.) " Lord Wellington and his gallant Army in Spain and ILirtugal ; may success attend their arms, and heir cause" was given, and streak with rnr of Russia, and success to his arms" a, and drank with much applause, and nun' o followed, which gave a ludicrous • terrible overthrow of Bonaparte's army in Russia, by the irresistible alliance of cold and Cossacks. The health of the Member for Grampound was drank. 46 The King of Prussia and success to German Independence" succeeded, and met with merited ap probation. 16 The Corporation of the City of London" was given, and drank with three times three—and Mr. Alderman Birch returned thanks in the name of the Corporation. The health of the Stewards was drank with much satisfaction, and thanks were returned in a very neat and appropriate speech by one of their number. 66 The health offrbe Livery of London" was next given and drank,'and Mr. SAMUEL Dixow returned thanes for the honour, in the name of the Livery, and recommended unanimity and unremitting perseverance in the good cause in which they had embarked, for the Empire to its remotest corner was influenced and instructed by their example. During the speech of a worthy Alderman, an ob scure individual bad found means of admittance, and placing himself at the upper table, manifested evi dent signs of discontent, which was considered dis respectful to the cause for which the Livery had as sembled. The Stewards murmured and demanded his dismissal from the Chairman, who endeavoured, in vain, to pacify their indignation, and the persua sions of Alderman Atkins and Mr. Dixon were em ployed to as little purpose. The intruder was sub missive, and made an explanation, which many con sidering equivocal and unsatisfactory, he was loudly commanded to depart, and a lane was made in the meeting through which he walked away, accompa nied to the door by the Stewards and the hisses of half the company. On the restoration of harmony many popular toasts were drank, and many excellent songs were sung, and the meeting broke up at a late hour. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. CARLTON-HODSF, MAY 17.

DOWNING-STREET, /kIAY 19, 1813. Dispatches, of which the following are a copy and an extract, have been this day received at Earl 13athurst's Ofl e, addressed to his Lordship by Lieutenant-General Sir John Murray, dated Alcoy, 17th April, and Castalla, sOth of April, 1812. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR JOHN MURRAY, TO EARL BATHURST, DATED ALCOY, 17th APRIL, 1813. I have the honour of inclosing a copy of a dispatch, addressed this morning to the Marquis of Welling ton. The army remains in the position of Alcoy. Alcoy, April 17, 1813. M LORD—In my dispatch of the llth instant, I had the honour to acquaint your Lordship that the army was on its march to Alcoy. In the course of the night I learned that the enemy had, by forced marches, occupied Onteniente and Mogente, and that he would reach San Felipe before me. As the troops were much fatigued, I halted on the 15th instant. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) .f. MURRAY. His Excellency Marquis of Wellington, &c. &c. &c. CastalLL April 30, 1813. MY LORD—In forwarding the duplicate of my let ter of the 14th, I beg to acquaint your Lordship that my information respecting General Harispe proves incorrect, although it came to me from several quar. ters, and continued to be reported for several days. The loss of the enemy amounts fully to the number at which I have stated it. I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) J. MURRAY, Lieut. Gen. Right Hon. Earl Bathurst, &c. &c. &c. DOWNING-STREET, MAY 20, 1813. Dispatches, of which the following are extracts, were this day re ceived by Earl Bathurst from Brigadier-General Lyon. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM BRIGADIER-GENERAL LYON, DATED HANIEURGH, MAY 8, 1813. The advance of the different corps of the French army to the Elbe, rendered it necessary for the divi sions of Generals Tettenborn, Dorenberg, and Czer nicheff, to recross this river : they concentrated at Hamburgh. On the Ist of May, General Sebastiani, with about 7000 infantry and 3000 cavalry, moved from Luneburg in the direction of Magdeburg. On the 4th, this corps arrived and halted at Salzwedel. General Davoust, with about 10,000 men, in chiding the division of Vandamme, occupies Lune burg, Haibing, and Stade ; detaching small posts of unequal strength at intermediate points along the banks of the Elbe. On the move of General Sebas tian' to his right, General Count Walmoden marched With the corps of Dorenberg and Czernicheff to Dcumitz. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM RRJGADIER•OEXERAL LYON,_ DATED SCHWAB ZENBECK, MAY 11, 1813. A few hours after I had closed the letter which I had the honour of addressing to your Lordship on the Bth instant, the enemy attacked the posts on the island of Wilhelmsburg and Ochsenwerder, but I feel most happy in reporting they have been repulsed with considerable•loss. It appears that Marshal Davoust had collected from 5 to 6000 men in the vicinity of Harburg tin the Bth instant. This force, with the exception of about 1500 men left in Harburg, was embarked at one o'clock in the morning of the 9th. Favoured by the ebb tide, and tinder cover of numerous batteries on the opposite shore, a landing was effected at Wil helmsburg long before break of day. The number of troops stationed in this island did not exceed 1100 men, the enemy gaine..l therefore in the first instance considerable ground, but on the air ival of a Mecklen burg battalion, which was ordered immediately to their support, he was advanced upon and driven back to the boats. A battalion of Hanoverians, commanded by Major de Berger, and a Lubec battalion, marching from Bergadorf and Zouenspiker on Ochsenwerder to die assistance of a corps of GOO men stationed at this post, attacked the enemy with vigour and impetuosity on his right flank: this compelled him to retreat, and in falling back he set fire to all houses and mills in the line of his march. The conduct of the corps under the orders of Ma jor de Berger has been described to me as most dis tinguished. It was my intention to have made a par. titular report •n the very rapid progress in discipline which this corps has made, although so very recently 1 formed for his Majesty's service ; and it is with great satisfaction I can add, that their gallantry in the field is equally conspicuous. Upon the advance of the enemy, a flag of truce was sent out by General Wagher, commanding the advanced guard of the Danish army in Holstein, with a declaration, that the forces under his command would co-operate in the defence of Hamburgh, should an attack be persevered in on that city. On the offi cer's return, and a continuation of the operations of the enemy, the Danish forces actually passed the fron tier, and took up a position on the Hamburgh-berg, with ten pieces of cannon, whilst a line of gun-boats was at the same time stationed for the defence of the port. I am unacquainted with the loss the Allies have generally sustained in the late affair ; it is estimated at about Isu men and 15 officers. I have learnt with regret, that the Hanoverian battalion has suffered severely, two Captains and 80 men being killed or wounded. The enemy entered Cuxhaven on the Bth instant. The detachment of the veteran battalion, under the orders of Major Kenzinger, are safely embarked. MILITARY PROMOTIONS. OFFICE OF ORDNANCE, MAY 19.
