A letter from- Mr. Alderman Wood was then
read, stating that he was commanded by her Majesty
to inform the Lord Mayor that it was her Majesty's
wish to present to the Corporation of the City of
kfondon • portrait of her late loanable daughter, the
Princess Charlotte.
On the motion of Mr. Sheriff %I.'it.LlAns, se-
conded by Mr. T. N. WILLIAM', it was resolved,
that her Majesty's most gracious offer be accepted:
and that the Lord Mayor do communicate the said
reoulution to her Msjeety.
ADDRF.SS TO THE QUEEN.
Mr. T. N. %V; MAVIS put it to the sense of the
Gentlemen who were about to propose an Address
to her Majesty. •hether justice could be done to
the question by entering noon it at that late hour
(a quarter before tour o'clock.)--(" Go on ! go
on I")
The LORD MAYOR said, that this Court had
been specially convened for the con.ideration of
that subject. on Ow requisition of several Members
of the Continuo Council, and although the coosi-
deration of other subjects had consumed so much
of day, he hoped Gentlemen would attend to
this question as long as they conveniently could,
and if it should afterwards b. lausid necessary to
postpone the question, he could have no objection
to adjourn the Court to another day.
Mr. F A Y ILL then rose and said, that in rising once
more to move an Address to her Most Gracious
Majesty, lie hoped to meet the cordiall coocurrence
of a large majority, if not the whole of the Court.
They were now c..lled upon to celebrate the triumph
not only of the Goren, but of British law, jsretice,
and freed —of the liberty of the Praws—and of
public opinion. The Honourable Gentleman
then mitered into a review of the late pro-
ceedings against her Majesty. and said that he

an instance of any measure DOOM mi.chieveaa in
its character, and tending in • greeter degree to de-
moralize, and, he matt say, to repahlicsnise the
country. He concluded by moving. Thine dutiful
and loyal Address be presented to her Most Graci-
ous Majesty, congratulating her on leer triumph
Over the foul and wicked conepiraicy agaiust her
honour, and ou the complete refutation of all the
charger alleged against her."
Mr. TAT Lon seconded the motion.
Alderman CHRISTOPHER SMITH hoped the
Court would pause before they adopted the Ites.r-
lotioo of addressing her Majesty on this occasion,
wherein she loot hero toutiouoted guilty by a great
majority of the Peers—Wear. hear, wad kissing.

which were likely to operate ao great a change as

before, that they ought not to • tole with her
Majesty on the tom of her daughter, and other
near relatives, because they might afterwards re-
pent of so doing. He then proceeded to command
on the character of the late torocrediuga against her
Majesty, and spoke warmly in support of the ow-
Moo.
Mr. CLARKE said, that lie thought much of the
appo.ition winch the mouton was likely to meet
with, arose out of the wording of the Heaolutiu.i,
wad not out of any ohjection to tie measure itself.
For his own part he cordially catiscusreal it' the Re-
solution to address her Majesty on the occasion.

Mr. JAIIIIII spoke warmly against the motion.
He contended that the conduct of Ministers bad
been improperly hlaMed, for they had dame all its
their 'soarer to condlict the tate proceedings with
