W E received this morning the Park Palm to 7t h inst. We are still left without any attOentie i n k tmat t on respecting the fate of Hanever. A Let. ter from Be,- Mr, of the 24. th May, statei, that His PR ussz An MAJESTY had expressed his wishes to the French Government, that Hanover should not be in vaded ; hut other Letters of the same date, and from • the some plaCe, state, that the Court of Berltn will not interfere in any way in the dispute between England and Frqnte. If the French Army, however, had continued to advance, we certSinly should have received some accountof their progreSs. The jemappe, which arrived lately at L'Orient from ilfaefinico, is said to have fallen in. with an English Squadron cruizing off, L'Oricnr, and to have passed within pistol shot of one of the Ships: this must he either a mistake or a fa4sehood ; for if the derma//e had been so near to an English Ship of War, we are strongly inclined to think that she would not now have been in a French Port. It is stated in Letters from Brussels, that the 'First Consul is expelled in that City on rite r+th inst.; but he must be atpresent so fully employed, that it is not unlikely his excursion will again be . postponed,. LUCIEN Bcixiir ARTE lus gone to Spain, The French Funds are 48. 7s. It will be seen, by our Report .of the Parliamen. tary Proceedings of yesterday, that the SECRET/111y at WAR stated that many of the offers made to Go. vermnent, for the purpose of forming Volunteer Corps were not likely to he accepted, nor was it the intention of Government to carry the System of Volunteer Corps to the extent to 'which it existed the last War. We are ignorant of the Plan which Ministers may have in contemplation for the De. :fence of the Country, but we confess we do not see the policy of repressing the Martial Spirit of the People at a Crisis like the present, by refusing those loyal and patriotic offers which many have already made, and many more would dotibtless have made, for embodying themselves in that way which is most congenial to their feelings, and most consonant with their habits and occupations. A general plan of defence including ail, would doubtless be ad. visable, but we cannot but think that an extensive Voluntee.; system might with propriety be made a part of that plan.. We are convinced that a large portion of tlie people would be much better satisfied if allowed:to form themselves into Corps in their respeaive distrias, commanded by Officers of their owochOiee, in the same manner as during the last War, thati by any general system imposed upon them by GovernMent, to the exclusion in a great measure of such Corps ; and whatever objeilion there may be,. made to distina and independent Corps, thus formed, •we cannot conceive that there would he any great difficulty in brigading them, for the pur. pose of their acing together with a proper efrat, in case of emergency. Volunteers are ,always ber. ter than pressed men, and.though we have no doubt that every Englishman will stand forward in what. ever way he may be called upon, and be ready to shed the last drop of his blood in the defence of his Country againit any attack which the haughty and ambitious 'Tyrant of France may dare to make upon' it, yet we think that there is something to he gained by that superiot degree of .cordiality with which men would a4l who had been allowed to form them. selves into Corps according to their own opinion, their wishes and their feelings.

" May it please Your Majesty, it We Your Majesty's most Dutiful and Loyal Subjeas, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council assembled, beg leave to ap. F roach the Throne at this important Crisis, with onr renew ed Sentiments of Fidelity and Allegiance to Your Majesty's Person, Crown, and Government. _ .... " We are fully persuaded of the necessity for the Decisive and Dignified Measures adopted by Your Majesty by the of Your Majesty's Ambas sa d or from France, and the vigorous posture of Defence of the United Kingdom to repel the Designs'orthat Government, whose inordinate and in satiable Views of restless Ambition, are manifestly direCted to overthrow the Glorions Constitution of these Realms, and give a mortal Stab to our existence as a Free and lode pendent Nation. The Justice of Your Majesty's Cause and the Moderation of your Claims, must b e ! f e l t and acknow ledged by every surrounding Power and we are convinced that the Brave and Happy People of this Laud, conscious of the purity of their Freedom, and the inestimable Privileges they enjoy under Your Majesty's Mild and Paternal Rule, will, with one fllind and Heart, resolve to defend and main tain them. Your Majesty's Faithful Citizens of London feel .a grateful Pride In this Assurance of Kindred Loyalty throughout Your Majesty's Dominions, and are deeply sexist ble of the eminent distinelion they are invested with by this opportunity of testifying their Fidelity and Attachment to their lieloved Sovereign. " l t is our earnest prayer that every blessing may attend and prosper Your Majesty's Zeal and Exertions forthe Wel fare of your People, and should substantial Peace not be at tainable but by the decision of the Sword, may the Calamities of a War not to be averted be lost in.the Success and Glory of its Achievements. Your Majesty's Faithful Citizens cannot, however, re frain from ex pressing . their satisfatlion at the disposition ma nifested by. Ypur Majesty t ofavailing yourself of any favour able circumstance of terminating the subsisting Dit&rences, whenever it can be clone consistently with the Honour and Dignity of Your Majesty's Crown, and the Security and Welfare of the British Empire. " (Signed) by Orderof Court, " HENRY WOODTHORPE." sirs MA J ESTY received tliem,very graciously, and returned the following Answer. 4, I receive with iPreat Satisfaaion this Dutiful and Loyal Address from My City of London. My endeavours to preserve Peace have been unhappily frustrated by the restless Spirit of. Aggrandizement which aduates the Councils of the French Government—but 1 trust the united and vigorous Exertions of the Nation at large in Support of the ust Cause in which we are engaged,. will, under the Prote tion of Divine Providence, enable Me to maintain the Dignity of My Crown, and to defend the Rights and Interest of My People against every Aggression."
