LORD MAYOR'S DAY.

At one o'clock yesterday the LORD 'Wilma pro-
ceeded up the River tnr ‘Vestmiiister in the
usual state, to be sworn in. The haziness of the
day was unfavourable to the display of the pro-
cession. The bridges and hanks of the River were
crowded with spectators. The dinner at the Alan-
sion-Fintise was very superb, and splendidly attend-
ed by Noblemen, Ministers, Judges,

at the Palace. The improvements there go on
rapidly—the interior will ve►y soon be in order for
general occupancy. The Earl of EnaEstosT, the
Countess of BESBOROUGH, sod many others of the
Nobility, were gratified in inspecting the multiplied
beauties of the stately edifice, internally and exter-
nally, last week.

cover this town nearly deserted of its tonish suppor-
ters; but the scene now is changed, arid arrivals of

The greatest activity prevails here iu the diplo-
matic world. This is attributed to the return of
the Emperor Alexander, who hosing arrived here
last evening, repaired at nine o'clock this morning
to the house of the Duke of Wellington, with
whom be remained an hour. Lord Castlereagh, at
noon, had a conference with Prince Hardenberg.
The English Minister then repaired to the Emperor
of Rus►ia.

The Congress is on the point of putting the
finishing hand to the important negociations. The
more these negociations are observed, the more mani-
fest will it be that the Cabinets generally feel the
necessity of a spirit of union to consolidate peace

A letter, dated November 6, 18le, from Mr.
Nuaruwoou, an officer on board his Majesty's ship
Ifustieegs, from Bengal, states, that the ship ex-
perienced heavy gales between the Isle of France
and the Cape of Good Hope, during which they
carried away the topmast, and sprung several yards,
and she was in consequence obliged to put into the
Isle of France and land 300 tons of goods which
were left behind. The ship touched at St.
Helena for water, remained six days, during
which time several officers went on shore to
get a siglit of BONAPARTE; many were grati-
fied by a peep at a distance, others were dump-
pointed. No person can leave the town without •
passport. which is strictly manioc(' by the different
sentinels. The vessel has mode her passage in forty-
three days from St. Helena, and has on board part
of the officers and crew of the t'afadca East India
ship. of 1;200 tons, wrecked on the Cargudoes
Sands, about forty leagues from the Isle of Fratice.
Mr. Norcruwono went out in a ship called the
Admiral Guembier, bound to the East Indies, and
was stranded in the Mosaic Channel ; the officera
and crew were in boats several days suffering from
fatigue—they were picked up by a French ship,
and taken to Bombay.
