About two o'clock, Wei en tered the City Barges, at Blackfriars Bridge, and proceeded up the River with the assal formalities. On the arrival of the Companies in their respeet. ice barges, at Old Palace Yard, the procession landed, and proceeded to Weinoinstes Hall in the usual state. 'they then went iip to the Court of Exchequer, which was crowded : with speaators, and the Recorder presented the Lord Mayor Elea to the Barons ; lie observed, the chstraßer of Mr. Shaw stood high in the estimatioa ofthe Citizens, his loyalty had hitherto proved, that be had a sincere regard for our Constitutiots ! Which, under the peculiar blessings of Prnvideostx. bad be come the admiration of the world. i,porn his com mercial pursuits, he was also considered a fit person to protea the privileges of the Citizens, by whom he had been eleaed to fill the office of Chief Magi `Orate. The Recorder then adverted to the rnerito rinus condud of the late Lord Mayor, while in the Civic Chair, • and coastiadeds•witia abeervissi, that 'the venerable Magistrate had retired from his office With the approbation of his own conscience, and the applause of his fellow-citizens. The Lord Chief Baron said, he addresed (speak ing to the new Lord Mayor) a man well known for his attachment to the Constitution, and one whose wish it was to support those laws;en which our happiness depended. The race of Chief Magi stiate of the City was one of considerable import ance, and he would deliver a few observations on the suhjeit, which then occurred to him. Exulta tion was never exalted to so high a pitch as at present; oar late viaory was a glorioos one, and the name and memory of Lord Nelson would be for ever engraved on the memory of the country. We had formerly two enemies to coo. tend with, an internal, and an external one ; the former enemies were the most dangerous, as their machinations were unseen, and the principles of the government were• privately undermined. Thir teen years since, he had en opportunity, from his publie situation, to be acquainted with the state of the cOttntry, and he was sensible, at that period, eiedditional security was afforded to the Constitution, by the worthy Civic Mag",etrate, Sir James Sander son. Others had since succeeded, whose efforts had been zealously ezened for the public good ; and he trusted his Lordship would be added to the valu able list. He concluded by observing, that the coo stitutioral efforts at the Magistracy, aided by the co. operation of the Volunreers in arms, had effeaually subdued the internal enemy ; and, he nutted, that the late brilliant victory would excite that spit it of ernulationatriongthe defenders of the country, which would ettahle us equally to vanquish the external enemy. He then complinioned eselate Lord Mayor. for the petted state of traequiliitT, in which he re signed the guardianship of the city to his woithe successor, and, after the (total formality, tie civil magistrates retired. The Lord Mayor and City Officers having retired, they returned in their barges to filackfriars-bridge, got into th:ir carriages, and, at the corner of Fleet. market, were joined by the Lord Chancellor, many of the Judges, Ire. The carriage of Mr. Pitt, acme other Ministers, and Foreign Ambassadors, followed; sad the *bele arrived at Guildhall about five o'clock. • 4 '"The entertainment givettat Guildhall was of the moat await description.
