Monday, for the season of the year, was favoura ble for the display of the Processions, which attracted much notice, as they had a very gay and interesting appearcnee. The most numerous was those of the Shipwrights, Caulkers, Sailmakers, and Shipsmiths, of the Port of London, united. They consisted of some thousands of men, who were on foot. In the procession there were a great number of tags with emblematical devices, and beautiful models of vessels, from a sloop of war to a first-rate, remarkable for their proportions, and the elegance and accuracy of the workmanship. The Processions, which extended along the greater part of the Strand, were accom panied by several excellent bands of music playing popular airs. The men were all neatly dressed, and wore white favours and sprigs of laurel. The procession of Highlanders, with their address, followed soon after. They assembled at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, in the Strand, and were dressed in the ancient costume of their country. They were, In general, fine looking young men, and gave full effect to the martial plaid uniform. The colours differed according to their respective Clans, and they were accompanied by several Ladies, elegantly attired. In the first carriage their address was carried, with the Highland flag waving over it, and the national pipes elevated the spirits of those who followed in eleven open carriages, drawn each by four horses. The Farringdon Without Deputation went from the Globe Tavern, Fleet-street. The procession consisted of ladies and gentlemen, and had a most respectable appearance. They occupied several open carriages, and were preceded by the Beadle of the Ward, in his unitbrin, carqing a mace. The Deputation, with the Address, from the Pa rish of St Anne, Soho, consisted also of ladies and bantlemen. The address was carried in an open rouche, drawn by beautiful grey horses, with a suitable flag. These were followed by seven elegant carriages, drawn each by four horses, the postillions in red Jackets, and every person in the Procession wearing white favours. The Procession was arranged opposite the Church, in Dean-street, and set out et ten o'clock in the morning for Brandenburgh House. The Letter-press Printers and Curriers, and Re putations, made a very respectable appearance, as did the St. Mary's, Whitechapel, the Bricklayers, the Middlesex, the St. Anne's, Limehouse, Ike. The several other Atiircsses were presented by Members of P.aliamont, and other respectable bids. viduals, Roehaster.• , by the Mayor, Recorder, Town Clerk, two Alder. men, wild seven others, Bristol,—by bright, EN.

' Mr. FIITSL I. said, it was with great end and anxiety be Taff In address the Court on the present occasion, for surely every loyal man in the country mast be grieved to end that when, in times of great difficulty and distress, that Cnurt Ind gone up to the Throne with a dutiful Address, stating the 'just complaints of the people, and declaring their unshaken loyalty, that the 4th Monarch of the House of Bruuswick should he surrottuded a ith Ministers, so foolish mud so weak as to advise his Majesty to give an Answer that was not only wholly silent un every topic of complaint contained in ' the Address, hut grossly and daringly misrepresented the the motives by which that Court had been actuated, without even attempting to dcuy or phew the fallacy of any of the facts staled in Inc Address. Of of any of the complaints it , contained. Be then moved a Resolution, that his Majesty's Answer should be catered nit the journals, and that the Court should at the same time express its grief and surprise that, at the time whewthe voice of the Nation was roused against his Majesty's blimisters, they should have dared to advise an answer totally silent on the subject of the grievances of which 'hut, Court had complained in their loyal Address to his Majesty, sod wilfully misrepresenting the motives of the Court iu laying their just complaints al the foul of the Throne, Mr. Emu seconded the motion. Mr. T. Witaaasts said, whet would the world say, if the censure now moved fur on Ministers should be carried— what, but that the City of Landau wished fur a revolution? He concluded with moving ea amendineut, that hi, Majes ty's gracious Ai sere to the Address of that Court should be eutered on the Journals. Alderman C. Salmis seconded the motion—he said the language ut the Address was so iatesuperaie, that he thought it was impossible for the Court to expect an answer different Thum the one they received, and for his part he thought it a very gracious answer.—(Great laughter.) Mr. ?Sao wen would support the amendment fora reason that had tarmcrly been assigned iu that Court for culling an imbiber given by his Mnjesty to an Address, a gruciou Ausw..r, on which occasion it was justly, that " if Ministers forgot a bat was due to the City of Louden, the City of Linidon,lsitould not fori4et vs hat was due to the Crown," that ever) answer proceeding from -the Crown must be cow sidered gracious. Mr. Alderman Waithus*n said," It was the constitutional doctrine that the King can du no wrung, but the Court should state its opinion of Ministers, and he declared tacit. late Addiess to his Majesty contained no sentitneui that be ' was not ready to seal with his blood. Mr. Ga I IiFITHI said, no man would accuse hlm of being disloyal ; but when Minister. had act , d us they had dare, it was their duty to make known their just and reasonable tears to his Nlaj..sty, awl their loyally *mild be a sluinbet lug virtue if it did nut lead them to Address his Majesty us they had duties A Wog debate ensued, in whith Messrs.
