rived at Boflon, in 30 Days from Brifiol.
LONDO N, March 6.
AT a Court of common Council held
Yesterday, present the Lord Mayor,
the Aldermen Wilkes, Bull, Plomer,
Lewes, Thomas, Oliver, Kirkman, Saw
bridge, Hopkins, and Alsop, with a full
Court of Commons, when the Business pro
ceeded upon was as follows :
A Motion was made by Mr. Hurford,
"That this Court doth concur with'theCourt
of Aldermen, that a frequent Appeal to the
People by short Parliaments, is the undoubt
ed Right of the Subject, and the only Means
of Redress for the various Grievances under
which the Inhabitants of these Kingdoms
have so long laboured.".
This Motion was agreed to nem con.
Another Motion to the following Purport,
"That it be recommended to the Electors
of this Kingdom, that previous to an Elec
tion of a Representative in Parliament, they
enjoin the Candidate that he Ihall vote for,
and use his interest to procure an Aft of
Parliament to shorten the Duration of Par
liament.
Then a motion was made that a Com
mittee be appointed, confiding of fix Alder
men, and twelve common-Councilmen, to
prepare a Resolution, and circular Letters
to the Corporations andEle&ors of England,
lor forwarding the above very important
Business ; and carried as above.
Mr. Alderman Kirkman moved theCourt,
that a Petition be presented to Parliament
against the baneful Practice of State Lot
teries in Time of Peace. The Motion was
agreed to, and referred to the fame Com
mittee as were appointed to further annual
Parliaments.
This Day's Business will be a lading Mo
nument of the Virtue and difinteredednefs
of the Citizens of London ; the alarm-Bell
is now rung by the firft Corporation, and
the wealthiest Body of Men in England,
and there is no Doubt but the various inde
pendent Corporations of this Kingdom, and
the County Electors will join in unity with
the Citizens of London, in regaining their
antient conditutional and undoubted Right
of annually ele&ing their Representatives
in Parliament.

Refpe& becoming a free People zealously
attached to the Laws and Constitution of
their Country, and the Parliamentary,Right
of yourMajelty to theCrown ofthefeßealms.
We desire with all Humility, in the Grief
and Anguifli of our Hearts, to submit to
your Majedy, that the many Grievances and
Injuries we have fuffered from your Mini
flers, dill remain unredreffed ; nor has the
public Judice of the Kingdom received the
lead Satisfaction for the frequent attrocious
Violations of the Laws, which have been
committed in your Reign by your Ministers,
with a daring Contempt of every Principle,
human and divine.— Your People have,
with the deeped Concern, observed, that
their former humble Petitions and Remon
strances were received with a Negle& and
Disregard, very hardly brooked by the high
Spirits of a great and powerful Nation ; but
the Hopes of Redress dill encouraging us to
persevere, we again supplicate your Majesty
to listen to the Voice of your aggrieved Sub
jects, in Vindication of your own and the
Nation's Honor, against your despotic and
corrupt Ministers, who have perverted the
Fountains of public Judice, and undermined
the Foundations of our excellent Constitu
tion. Our Representatives, who were cho
sen to be the Guardians of our Rights, have
invaded our mod facted Privileges. The
Right of being represented in Parliament
is the inherent, unalienable Privilege, as
well as peculiar Glory of the fieeborn In
habitants of this Country; and a Person
qualified according to Law, a Magidrate of
this City, was duly elected a Knight of the
Shire for the County of Middlesex, by a
great Majority of legal votes, yet has been
excluded from the House of Commons, by
a Resolution of that House ; and a Candi
date, who had only a few Votes, declared
the Representative of the Electors of said
County, against their Consent.—Through
the like corrupt influence of the fame Mi
nisters, the chief Magistrate, and one of the
Aldermen of this City, were imprisoned for
not obeying the illegal Mandates of an Ar
bitrary House of Commons, and violating
the solemn Oaths they had taken for the
Preservation of their Liberties and Franchi
ses of the Capital ofyour Majesty's Domini
ons. We recall to your Majesty's Remem
brance, with Horror, that unparalleled AQ
of Tyranny, the erasing a judicial Record,
in Order to flop the Course of Justice, to
introdue a Syttem of Power against Right,
and to tear up by the Roots Truth and Lavr
from the Earth,
We therefore, your Remonstrants, again
supplicate your Majesty to employ the only
Remedy now left by the Constitution, the
Exerciie of that Salutary Power, with which
you are entrufled by Law, the dissolving of
the present Parliament, and the Removal
of those evil Counfellors who advised the
Measures so generally odious to the Nation,
and your Majesty, as the true Guardian of
our Rights, Ihall ever reign in the Hearts
of a grateful People."
March 24. One of the Morning Papers
informs us the following Article is already

Lord Mayor : " Twenty-one Pounds paid

Esq; for his Opinion, that the City Remon
