YESI-ERDAT being Michaelmas day, the LORD MAYOR, agreeably to ancient custom, held a Corn_ Mon Hall for the election of . a Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. The several Aldermen in rotation being ptit up, it appeared by the shew of hands that the eleCtion had fallen on WILLIAM NEwi4AN, Esq. and Sir JOHN EAMER, Knt. who were re turned to the Court of Aldermen for their choice ; and, upon- the scrutiny, the numbers were in favour of Sir JOHN EAMER, Knt. and he was' declared by the L ORD M AYOR to b e d u ly e l e Eted Lord Mayor for the year ensuing. Sir JOHN EAMER then ad dressed the Livery nearly to the following effect " GENTLEMEN OP THE LIVELY, • " It is highly gratifying to me to have been returned by 3 ° numerous aad respectable a body of the Livery of London (in Coinmon Hall assembled) to the Court of Aldermen, for ther choice of one to serve the important offiCe C hief that f 4 ', A4 gistrate of this City for the year ensuing, and tiir election has fallen on me. , lam fully alive to the distinguished Honour and the ar nuotts Duties of that high and important Office, to w hich I Mean to devote my wholi; titre, and exert my best abilities, with . great diffidence. I accept it more as a matter of Duty than of ambition. I shall pray to God to give me health and Spirits,; and with the advice and assistance of my Colleagues Aldermen, and the respeaable Officers of this Corpor a _ lion), i hope and trust I shall be enabled to fulfil the ,ex_ kettations of my friends, by discharging the duties of that Office to the satisfaaion of the Citizens and Public at large. " Gentlemen, You have had many able anddistinguished Charaaers to fill this high and important Station . I shall endeavour to emulate them ; but there has not been. One who has administered justice more purely or inipartially than your present Chief Magistrate : he has performed the duties of the Office with firmness - and liberality, and a manly, in dependent spirit ; and I am sure he will receive that mark of 'your approbation he so justly meriti. " Gentlemen, It has been customary in thii sltuatiini for some Gentlemen to promise you what they would,do; others what they w ou ld notdo. I shall make no promises : you have lohg known me as a Man of Business ; you seleded me to serve the office of Sheriff at an important crisis ; you know me as a Magistrate, and a Soldier ; you know my ;Mc_ "oti to the best of Sovereigns, and my attachment to the Constitution : the active and independent support • I have g , ven to the Administration of the Country, has been from a thorough conviction, that their measures were calculated to preserve the bignity of the Crown and the Prosperity of the - Country. " Gentlenien, In the important trust of Preserving the Pea c e of thii great and opulent City, my attention and ex ertion will require the cordial support and assistance of all Pod Citizens • and with such co-operation, I hope and trust shall haVe the gratification, at the close f the Mayoralty,to, receive the approbation of m y yelloW-citiiens."

In the Deputation of the Diet 'for the arrange ment of the Indemnities, the Ecclesiastical States, the Courts and Imperial Cities, will take no part. It is said that the Deputation will not meet at Ra tisbon, but at some other place under the presidence of an Imperial Plenipotentiary.

Monday Elizabeth Belgr;: , ve was fully committed for trial by NATH A_ xtIRL CONANT, Esq. on a charge of robbing James Stewa!r; of five Sol. Bank, of England Notes. Mr. Stewart stated, that on Friday night last the Prisoner; a girl of the town, came up to him in Oxford-road; and prevailed upon'- him to accompany her to her lodgings, No; 71, CaStlestreet, Oxford_ market ; that being' very much intoxicated, he consented; and passed the whole of that night, and the greater part of the next day with her. That shortly after 'he had taken his leaVe, he discovered that he had been 'robbed of five tol. Notes, part of 1761. which he had received from a Banker in Lombard-street. He had eleven 101. Notes when he entered the Prisoner's lodgings, and only six were remaining in his pocket-book when he left her. He went back and accused her of robbing him : at first she denied any knowledge of the Bank Notes, but shortly after confessed she had ( changed two tot. Notes that she had 'found after He was gone, and had purchased a gown and some stockings of a tradesman in Leicester-fields. She then gave him 41. which she said was all she had left. An Officer, who apprehended the Prisoner, said he could find none of the Notes in her lodging, nor could he learn from her any account respeaing those two she had changed, and had ret-urned 141. of to the Prosecutor, which afterwards she expreSsed her self sorry for doing ; adding, that if he, the Pro sectror, had not been a crying snivelling fellow, she would not have given him a farthing. The Prisoner in her defence ,aid, that she had found two iol. Notes on the sofa after the Gentle man Was gone ; that at first she thought they were forged ones, but calling on her maid to counsel what was best to be done, she determined on laying them out, observing, " That a find was a find, and no one could hurt her for it."—She was not certain, she said, that the Notes were Mr. Stewart's, as a man of great opulence from the city had slept with her the night before, who had 2501. in Notes about him; and. he was as likely to have dropped them as the Prosecutor. The Magistrate told her, that her defence would be of benefit to her in another place; where she would require every possible aid in vindication of her innocence, if she was really so. He could (To). no less than commit her.
