t Bis Majesty came to the Ho&fe
about half p^ft two o'clock} and
bcittg feared upon the throne, de
livered to both Houles of Pariia

forkdM
Aker his Majesty and the House
of Cznmoas had withdrawn, the
Hou^e was cleared of Grangers,
and their Lord Os ips went into a
Committee of Privileges in confe
tpence ofdie circumlUnces which
had attended his Majeity’s com
ing to the Houle.
The circumdances alluded to,
were as follow : The Mall and the
^Parade of St. James’s Park., Par
iiament-ftreet, anti (he adjoining f
avenues were completely choaked
up with fpeclators while the King
was pacing to and from the Parli
ament House. The crowd was
by no means so great as at the
Coronation; and to fee the King ;
go to the House, there never were
before, more than a tenth part of
the numbers of Thursday: For
they at leall amounted to 200,000.
Several Noblemen, and Cabinet
Mini tiers passed through’ the Park,
from Buckingham House, about
two o clock. The Earl of Chat
ham, Duke of Gloucester, &c.
were hilfed and the Duke of Port
land was very' much ho^ed.
About twenty minutes after
wards, the King left Buckingham
House, and was violently hilled,
hooted, and groaned at, with in
cessant vociferations of No Pitt,
No War, Peace, Bread, &c. the
whole way ; but no violence was
offered, until he arrived opposite
the Ordnance Office, when a small
pebble, marble, or a bullet, broke
•'•one of ihc window s—When his
Majesty entered the House of
P^ers, the firft words he uttered
T Ac these, to the Lord Chancel
lor.
ts My Lord T havebeen Shot at.*
This alluded to the substance
which had broke the windo w while
passing the Ordnance-Office.
Three or four persons were ap
prehended on suspicion of having
thrown Hones, &c. at the King,
and one of them was charged with
having called out “ No King" and
other such expressions. Nothing
was done in the House of Lords,
until near fix o clock, when Lord
We
stmoreland, who rodh id
the carriage with the King, stated
the infuk with which the King had
been treated ; and added, that his
Majefty} and those who had ac«
compained him, were of opinion,
that the glass of his coach had been
broken by a ball from an air gun,
which had been {hot from the bow
window of a house adj inlng the
Ordnance Office^ witji a view to„
aflaffinate him. This statement
was corroborated and supported
by Lord Onslow, who also ac
companied his Majesty, and the
House in a Secret Committee in
vestigated several witnesses, whose
evidence went to prove theattacks
on the King’s carriage, and the
general tumult.
The House afterwards resolved
to address the King, lamenting the
treatment he had met with, and
be leeching that the wholeinfluence
of the Government might be exert
ed to bring the offendersto justice.
A conferrence with the Commons
was also agreed on, and the coh
fideration of the King’s speech was
deferred until next day;
Attack the British King.
HOUSE of PEERS.
SATURDAY, DEC. 12.
Saturday forenoon the Seriate of
the United States waited on the
President with the following
Addrefs,in answer to his Speech
to both Houses of Congress at
the opening of the Seflion.
To the PreJident of the U. States.
IT is with peculiar fatisfadion
that we are informed by your
(peech to the two Houses of Con
gress, that the long and expensive
war in which we have been en*
gaged with the Indians north well
of the Ohio, is in a situation to be
finally determined: and tho’ we
view with concern the danger of
an interruption of the peace so
recently confirmed with the
Creeks, we indulge thfe hope, that
the measures that you have adopt
ed to prevent the fame, if followed
by those legislative provisions, that
jufyice and humanity equally de
mand, will succeed in laying the
On his Majesty’s return,hiffings
and groanings were again heard,
and as his carriage passed opposite
Spring Garden, Terrace, a ft one
was thrown, but it fortunately
ft ruck the woodwork, between the
windows. When the King alight
ed from his state carriage, and en
tered his private one, the tumult
was considerable. The military,
however, loon surrounded his car
riage, and lafely conduced his
Majesty to Buckingham-Houle,
where he dined.
As the (late coach returned
empty through d?e gate by the way
of the stable yard, a dreadful ac
cicent happened in consequence
of the turbulence of the above
riotous persons: A groom, who
was employed as one of the lead
ers of the horses for the day, was
beaten down, when the heavy car
riage went over him, and. broke
both his thighs. He was carried
on a litter to his apartments in the
Mews, with little hopes of reco ve
ry.
The mob followed the state
coach from St. "James' to the Mews,
and near St. Albion's street com
menced an attack upon it, with
ftoncsand dirt, when they broke
the glasses; and in the Mews, pur
sued their purposes so effectually,
as almost entirely to demblilh it,
before the arrival of the guards,
when several persons were appre
hended.
Conffrcfs of t^e ainttea States.
A proclamation offering a re
ward of One Tbonfand pounds,
for apprehending the above riot
ers, has been issued.
Late in the evening, four per
sons, concernded in the above
riotous proceedings, underwent
examinations atßo w ftreet—l< i d d
Wakeftood charged on oath with
throwing a (tone at the King's
stage carriage, in Palace yard,
previoefly to its setting his Majesty
down at the House of his Lords.
It was proved that the stone thrown
had broken the glass, and that the
prisoner had been observed very
adive in the mob, all the way from
St. Jamei'. A lad,of the name of
Gregory, a baker of the name
of Di ng h am, and another person,
were also chared with throwing
stones at the King’s carriage.—
Gregory was di {charged, and
the other three were committed
for further examination.

Algiers, in consequence of which
our captive fellow citizens {hall

than they will be important in ex

As a just and equitable conclu
sion of our depending negocia

advance the interest of both na

will afford us real pleasure to re

expectations on this fubjeCi.
The interesting profped of our
affairs with regard to the foreign
powers, between whom and the
United States controversies have
subsisted, is not more fatisfa&ory,
than the review of our internal
situation; if from the former we
derive an expectation of the ex
tinguiffiment of all the causes of
external discord that have here
tofore endangered our tianquility,
and on terms consistent with our
national honor and fafety, in the
latter we difeover those numerous
and wide (pread tokens of prosper

It frequently happens, ihat men
by designing the worst of evils,
have unintentionally effe&cd the
greacett good; while plotting their
coountry s ruin have evidently fa
yed it from deftruQion. This
truth is surprisingly illustrated, in
the condud of the diforganizers
of the present day. While en
deavouring, to depress in the e
steem of the people our mild syst
em of adminiftration,they have by
their virulence and impetuofiiy,
exhibited in a clearer light than
liras ever before seen, its beauty
and energy. They have evinced
to ihe world, (hat a mild govern
ment, compofedof equal laws and
impartially admimftered, can give
security, when goverments of ap
parently greater force and effica
cy, have been conrulfed in pieces
by less treasonable faClions. We
have seen the liability of our gov
ernment, in avoiding the calami
ties of a war, into which, from the
restless disposition of many of our
Citizens, we were in eminent dan
ger of falling, and from which few
of the European nations have been
abtero restrain themselves. By
this, our constitution has been
more dear to us, and the love for
our patriots, whose hearts failed
them not, when attacked with the
most illiberal abuse, and who de
fended this country’s good amid It

doubly increased. As beauty ap
