(From the Cambridge Chronicle.]
At a grand common day of this Corporation, held on the
6th of September last, the Freedom of the Borough, ac-
companied by a loyal and respectful address, was voted to
his Royal Highness the Duke of York, for his firm and
patriotic declaration against granting any further conces-
sions to the Roman Catholics; and his Royal highness
having appointed Friday last (during his animal visit at
Clieveley Park, the seat of his Grace the Duke of Rut-
land) to receive the same, the Mayor, (John Purchas,
Esq.) with several Aldermen, Common Councilmen, and
a number of respectable Burgesses, occupying thirteen
carriages, arrived at Cheveley about half-past eleven
o'clock, where they were kindly welcomed by his Grace
the Duke of Rutland, High Steward of the Corporation,
and the Marquis Graham, and Colonel Trench, Members
of Parliament for the town. The
rocession, consisting
of the High Steward, the Mayor, Aldermen, &e. ,ireccdcd
by the mace-bearers carrying the maces and other insignia
of office, was then introduced into the audience chamber,
where his Royal Ilighnots, with her Grace the Duchess of
Rutland, and a number of noble visitera, were assembled.
The Duke of Rutland then addressed his Royal Highness
as follows:

•
hiss—The Corporation of the loyel and ancient borough of
Cambridge, deeply sensible of the many private virtues which
adorn the character of your Royal Highness, and cordially ad-
miring the principles which hare invariably ac•usted your public
conduct, more especially upon that great question. which, in their
estimation, involves the best interests of that key-stone of our
glorious Constitution—the Protestant Ascendancy in Church and
State, have unanimously resolved to tender to your Royal Highness
anhumble and respectful tribute of their attachment; devotion, and
gratitude, by soliciting you to accept the freedom of their ancient
borough. Concurring moat fully in the feelings and sentiments
which hare brought the Corporation of Cambridge into the presence
of your Royal Highness, I cannot help expressing my aatiafitction
that the present ceremony should occur at a time when your Royal
Highness is permitting me the honour, and pride, and gratification.
of exercising toward/ you the ditties and attentions of hospitality
at this place. And at is also particularly gratifying to me, that,
in virtue of the honourable ofk: %shin I hold as High Steward of
the borough of Cambridge, it should be my province to read to
your Royal Highness the following Address, which I can assure
yen has been voted by acclamation :
• To his Royal Highness Prince Frederick. Duke of York and
Albany, Earl of Ulster. and Bishop of osnaliurgh, &c. &c.
" The loyal and respectful Address of the Mayne. Aldermen,
Common Councilmen, and Burgesses, of the Town of Cam-
bridge, in Common Hall assembled.
" May it please your Royal Highness,
" We, his Majes:y's dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mayor, Al-
dermen. Common Councilmen, and Burgesses, of the town of
Cambridge, beg leave most respectfully to offer to your Royal
Highness the tribute of our sincerest thanks for your firm, patri-
otic, and constitutional resistance to Catholic Emancipation evii;ced
by your Royal Highness's speech upon that subject in the House
of bores.

" We, the Corporation of Cambridge, cannot refrain from em-
bracing this opportunity of expressing our unalierable atiaelt-
ment towel& your Royal Highness's family, as likewise to the
principles of our happy and glorious Constitution as now esta-
blished in Church and State, and we feel a pride in welling that
this attachment has never ceased to characterise our tuseient and
loyal borough.
" We have viewed with increasing alarm the reiterated efforts
of the Roman Catholics (and their adherents) to demolish those
barriers which have been erected by the wisdom of our ancestors
against the encroachments of Papal power ; we deprecate the ad-
mission of Roman Catholics into the I.egislatitre, bnaitae they are
the advocates of principles which, if carried into full effect, would
certainly endanger, and probably subvert, the civil and religious
institutions of our country. SS e therefore again offer our most
grateful acknowledgments to your Royal Highness for your firm
and patriotic support of our Protestant Constitution, and we ear-
nestly implore a continuance of the same watchful care, the same
trainua exertions, as the only means, under Divine Providence,
whereby the blessings which this highly favoured land has hi-
therto enjoyed, can be transmitted unimpaired to future genera-
dons.

• iVe beg to renew the assurance of our most cordial and re-
spectful attachment towards your Royal Highness, and in testi-
mony thereof to present you with the freedom of our borough, your
Royal II izhness's acceptance of which we meat earnestly and
humbly solicit.
" Given under our Common Seal at Cambridge, this sth day of
September, one thousand eight hundred and twenty-fire.
" BENJAMIN COTTON, Mayor."
His G race having read die Address, the Mayor then said,
" May it please your Royal flightiest',
" I have the honour, as Mayor, and in the name of the Alder-
men, the Common Councilmen, and the Burgesses of the Borough
of Cambridge, most respectfully to present, and humbly to solicit
that your Royal Highness will graconsly condescend to accept a
Burgess letter undue the Common Seal, tontaining the freedom of
the Corporation, which, in a Hall very numerously attended during
the year of my worthy predecessor in office, was unanimously voted
to your Royal Highness. And I. earnestly request, Sir, that your
Royal Highness will be graciously pleased to allow your illustrious
name to be registered as a Burgess of our ancient and loyal Bo-
rough. Permit me, Sir, in conclusion, to say, that proudly at this
day must stand distinguished amongst the records of our ancient ,
Borough. still prouder will it be to myself who have now the high
honour of addressing and of offering to your Royal Highness this
token of our esteem, gratitude, and veneration."
To which his Royal Hight:ea was graciously pleased to
return the following answer :
" Ma. MAYOR •VD CENTLEMEN—I beg to return yon my
most cordial thanks tor the very flattering proof which you have
given me of your personal regard as well as your approbation of
my conduct during the last Session of Parliament, when the Ca-
tholic Question was brought into discussion, by wishing to enroll
my name upon your book as a Bargees of your very ancient and
loyal Borough.
" Brought up as I have ever been from my earliest youth with
the most sincere attachment and veneration for our glorious Con-
stitution in Church and State. as by law established, and in support
of which his Majesty's Family was seated upon the throne of these
kingdoms, I considered it as my duty, alien the attempt was made
to strike, in my opinion, at the very. root of that Constitution, to
come forward, and, as a Peer of this Realm, to avow openly and
honestly my sentiments.
" Truly happy am I that those of the great majority of this
kingdom are in unison with mine, and especially that of this ancient
Borough; and I beg to assure you, Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen,
that it is with the greatest satisfaction and gratitude that I accept
your offer."
The Corporation then withdrew into the spacious Hall,
where an elegant and sumptuous cold collation was pro-
vided. During the repast his Royal Highness the Duke of
York, with his noble host and visitors, entered the Hall, in
the following order

the Mayor rose, and gave the following toasts:—

The Duchess of Rutland (who was standing at the door
of the Hall), on hearing the health of the Marquis of
Granby given, came forward to the end of the table, lead-
ing the noble youth in her hand, and said—
" I am very sensible of the honour done myself, but feel so
deeply affected by the emotions inspired by your kindness to my
dear boy, that I cannot resist the impulse of returning my best Sr.
knowletiginents for this honourable mark of your esteem ; and in
his name, a delighted mother entreats your acceptance of dune
grateful thanks, which, as yet, her son is unable to otter on Ins own
behalf."

through the extensive gardens and walks at Chcvelev Park,
and returned to Cambridge in the afternoon, highly
pleased with the kindness and urbanity which they had
experienced.
