CITY ADDRESSES. TO MS ROYAL HIGHNESS TILE PRINCt OF WALES, REGENT OF TILE LSITF.D KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND. The dutiful and loyal Address and Petition of the Lord MaN or, Aldermen, and Commons or the City of London, in Common Council assembled. MAT IT PLEASE TOPIt IIOTAL HIGHNESS, We, his Majesty's must dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Ablerusen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, humbly approach your Roy al Highness with renewed expressions of attachment to your Royal Person and Family; and at the same time to express the deep wrrow and affliction we feel at the intellitrence received of the persecutions and sufferings ut• the Protestants in the South of France. _ Among the glorious and virtnotts causes for which our Ances tors hive struggled and bled, in no instance have their exertions been more successful, nor their s uccess more dear to us, than in the overthrow of that fabric of superstition, bigotry, and tyranny, by which the 'tuition mind lad been so long enthralled, and in the establisl ait of that sacred principle,m hicb confirms to every matt the right to worship his Creator according to the dictates of his own conscience. . . Having claimed and acted upon this principle for ourselves, and keling that it is au inherent right eipially appertaining to every individual of every talon, we have learned, with no less grief than abhorrence, that the spirit of intolerance had again broken out; and that our Protestant Brethren in the South of France have suffered the must cruel and atrocious persecution, whereby their plact s of yorship have been closed, their pro perty pillaged and destrhyetl, and numerous lives have been sacrificed. That although we deprecate any interference in the internal concerns of other nationg, we cannot regard it friendly interpo sition kr the prevention litetedeities so disgraceful to htnan lute, as a violation of that principle, much less so under the relative and peculiar cirtannstances of both countries. For recollecting that It has been in an Pullin to degree by British valour, Bi dish truest:re. and British blood, that the late changes in the (lover 1111 l ent of France have been effected, and that the avowed object °look immense sacrifices was no less to rescue the People of France from tyranny and oppression, than to Mini d peace to stirremoding States ; and bearing in 'Mud that by the Constitutional Charter the King of France guaranteed full and perfect religions liberty, and that your Royal Highness has in the Treaty et/minded with his Majesty's Allies at Paris in N k ovember last. eapressed sour conviction." That the repose of Europe is essentially interwoven with the confirmation of things founded out the maintenance of the Royal A litliortr)., and of the Constitutional Charlet," we cannot but ti el, that under these eireimistanee3, mid such sole •ugactiiii ills, the eha. raeter anti hotionr (~1* this country loudly deniand Rim we should, in the most decisive and energetic terms, protest against these dreadful entninities, which have so long bet committed. It is, therefore, with feelings of the deepest regret that we perceive the bright prospect of peace, freedom, and happiness, so suddenly overeas: Scarcely had his Majesty Lam. .y I resumed the reins . of Government, thou ft:1'06011S stud oa : titled persons, limier pretence of superior loyalty, and mole pure commenced a ti e riot's attack upon their fellow subjects; anti those persons, w hose only offence was their difference in re ligious opiiiion, and who had ever been employed iu diffusing light and knowledge among them, were the limt victims of their cruelty and superstition. Under circumstances so distressing, feeling with gratitude the high degree of religious liberty we enjoy, purchased and sealed with the blood of oar forefathers, contii meil and esta blished at the glorious Revolution of JOSS, we should be un worthy of such advantages, were vie not, in the most solemn and earnest manner, to entreat your Royal Highness to exert your utmost influence to suppress that unhappy spirit of per secution which has lately manifested itself, alike contrary to the Constitutiettal Chat ter of France, and those enlightened principles oh Toleration entertained by voile Royal Highness. We, therefore, humbly pray your Royal Highness will be pleased to adopt such measures as may best tend to suppress these enormous evils. Signed by Older of the Court, HENRY IV OODTHt fit PE. To which Address and Petition his Royal Highness returned the following most various Answer: — The just sense entertained by his alajesty's subjects of the value and importance of Haig' Toleration is necessarily cal culated to excite in their minds strong feelings of uneasiness and regret at any appearance of the wium of it in other nations of the world. In such feelings, when called for and justified by the occa sion, I shall ever participate; and, whilst 1 lament the circum stances which led to your Address, I derive great saiistaction from the persuasion, that they ate in no degree to bv attributed to an indisposition on the part of the Crovernment of Fiance to . ..third to the freedlolll Of Religious Wurahip the benefit ut' its promised protection and support.

We oeg lease to offer to y our Royal lilt:lines' , our heartfelt congratulations, that the unparalleled evortiotos of our Country and of ,dtr Allies have, under the signa l favour of 1/it hoe Pro.- violence entailed your Royal Highne ss, by flue Treaties lately concluded at Parts with his most Christian Majesty the King of ' , ranee, to put an cool to the miseries and calamities inse parable I row a state of hostility ; and so speedily to restore to the people of these realms, the inestimable biessiugs of au ho nourable peace,. We have felt, * common with the rest of his Majesty's sub .;ecte, the imperious necessity which called for the exertions of the whole British people, against a power which threatened the independence and tranquillity of every neighbouring State; and we have viewed with teelings of the warmest ad miration, that character of intrepidity, heroism, and modera don, which has uniformly distinguished the British runs; .111 , 1 whirl' in the late everanemoruble campaign has 'walled to the recollection ut' Europe the proudest achievements ut our ancestors. We trust that the experience of the late dreadfill calamities will not be lost ; and tom Mot :lig a long period at tranoithility, it will be uuiversally felt that the true grtatntea of Prawns 10, and the real happiness of nations are only to be secured by a steady adherence to justice and moderation. and to those sa cred principles ofrattonal and well-regulated !Hardy, to which Great Britain, under the illustrious House of Brunswick, has been indebted for the prosperity and the glory of her em pire. We congratulate your Royal Highness on the conclusion of a Treaty which holds out to humanity a solemn pledge of the great Powers of Europe—the prospect of a speedy and entire abolition of the African Slave Trade —a security for the re payment of a part of the expenditure occasioned by the late renewal of hostilities—fur the discharge of the just claims of British subjects on the Government of France, and provides, by a series of precautions, justified by necessity and dictated - by experience, for the future safety and repose of Europe. Whilst we feel grateful to Divine Providence for these dis tinguished benefits, and fur the exalted rank which the moral, political, and military character of our country has attained, . we are not insensible to the difficulties and embarrassments, uhirli are, as we trust, the temporary, though painful result of a return to a state of things interrupted by so tong a period of exertion and of warfare. In the removal of these difficulties, we rely with confidence upon the wisdom and fir mness of your Royal Highness and of Parliament, and upon the energy and resources of the British Empire; and we trust that such steps will be taken as by a speedy and necessary redtiction of every branch of the public expenditure, as far as (after the late glorious suceesses) the safety of the nation will admit: and by a steady perseverance in the reduction,during peare,of the National Debt, may adorit to your Itoy al Highness the means of strengthe • the public Credit,and the grateful opportunity uf alleviating [helm" diens of a generous and loyal People. That your Royal Highness may long live in the hearts and affections of a free, prosperous, and united nation, is the ardent prayer of Lis Majesty's faithful subjects, the Citizen; lot . Lon don. Signed by order of the Court, HENRY WOODTHORPE. To which Address it Rnyal Highness was graciously pleased to return the following Answer:-- I thank you fur this loyal and dutiful Address; I accept with . great satisfaction your cougratulatimP. upon the conclusion of peace, on terms lionourahle and advantageous to this country and to Europe. It may justly he regarded as the adequate re sult of a victory, which, under the favanr of Divine Provi dence, is chiefly to be ascribed to the my:indicted exertions . of British valuer; and as the well earned reward of that elms; racteristic fortitude and public spirit whu•h was so eminently displayed by all classes of bis Majesty's subjects on the recur rence of hostilities. Thirstlay a court of Common Council was held at Guildhall; when John Wontner and Nevell Browne were elected, from a list of nine candidates, as Marshals for the City of London, in the room of Holdsworth and Nabler, resigned. Friday at a Court of Common Council, an Address was voted to His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, on the marriage of the Princess Charlotte of Wales with the Prince of Cobourg. A similar Address was voted to the Queen ; compliments of congratulation were likewise voted to the Princess Charlotte of Wales and the Prince of Cobourg. PUGILISM.. ANOTHER FIGHT. - One will take place on Wednesday, the 20th of June, be— tween Harry Harmer mod Shelton, two well-known good men , wt.(' have before fought), for 70 guineas a side, and a purse of • 20 guineas given by the pugilistic amateurs, It will be a stand ing tight half • time. A deposit of 20 guineas a side nits been made, and the money is to be made good on the 12th June, at Belcher's Castle Tavern. Holborn, where the articles now are for inspection. It most prove a tight of considerable interest to the amateurs of pugilistic excellence, from the w ell• known characters of both die men. The ea aabilities of Har mer are great towards victory, hut notwithstanding his Bet- • cherosiun knack of hitting, the odds were so changeable and • various during his late contest with Shelton, that sometimes . , to 2 were sported thickly on Harry, and at others 3 and to against him, that it is but fair to state, he was declared the conqueror by the mere turn of a straw. Shelton does not want for gallle nor science ; and as it appears, that he lost more by chance, than downright milling, he thinks himself fairiy 01- toted to another _trial of skill.—Both boxers are not without plenty of friends, and the sporting men will be somewhat puz zled to bet with any thing like a certainty upon this fight.

The only cu - cumstance wanting to render the battle complete is, to provitlz MC% of colour to act as seconds and bottle-holders, from which the faucy could not fail in deriving no small source of amuse ment.

He is much improved • as a scientific pugilist. whirls he clearly evinced in hislate bot tles with Robinson—there was nothing hurried M his manner of attack—he viewed his antagonist with mueli fortitude, and scarcely made a hit without doing materod,excention ; tending perhaps to remove many doubts that hitherto have ex isted respecting his pretension .a.i.as first-rate boxer. 11l a 7 severe conteat with that boxer of boxers, the late Jack Power, he' proved himself not deticieal in game; unit his other requi sites are goodof but proper! applied.
