LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11.
Three ("Clock, p.m.

It is announced in the l'aris Papers of Thursday
that the sentence of death pronounced against Gra
vier and Houton, for exphxling a petard under the
window of the Duclicss of Berri, for the purpose of
injuring her Royal highness, has, at her interces-
sion with the King, been commuted to perpetual
imprisonment and hard labour. Many persons
would prefer death to the latter sentence. A Royal
Ordinance in the Manitear appoints a Lieutenant-
General with full powers over the Island of Corsica,
in consequence of the " increasing number of crimes
in that island, the authors of which have escaped
with impunity, and unecasingly trouble public tran-
quillity by renewed efforts." Lord Stewart has re-
turned from Troppau to Vienna, having left Mr.
Gordon to supply his place at the seat of the Con.
gress ; but it is understood that all the business of
importance has been concluded. An article from
Lisbon notices the cordial re-union of all the Mem-
bers of the Junta of Goverment. Intelligence
from Madrid apprizes us of a slight skirmish which
took plaee is the vicinity of Burgos, between the
King's troops and a small party of insurgents, in
which the latter were defeated and dispersed. The
people of Valencia have again displayed some agi-
tation, and demanded the head of General Elio, and
—t"..e punishment of the Archbishop. The account
of the return of the King to Madrid seems to have
tranquilized their fears ; but a promise has been
made to them that legal proceedings shall be insti
tuted against the objects of their immediate die-
pleasure. The Archbishop is said to have escaped
on board ship purposing to go to Rome.

ADDRESS OF THE COMMON COUNCIL TO THE
KING. AND HIS MAJESTY'S ANSWER.

OMMIMINI
Saturday the Lord Mayor proceeded from Guild-
hall, at two o'clock, accompanied by the Recorder,
Messrs. Aldermen Wood and Waithman Mr. Sheriff
Williams, and about sixty Members of the Common
Council, to present the Address to his Majesty agreed
to at the last Court.
The Address takes a review of the misconduct of
Ministers; it is, of course, very long, and concludes
01119

•
" We beg leave humbly to assure your Majesty. that these
representations arc dictated by our sincere attachment to that
Constitution which seated your Majesty's august Family on
the Throne of these Realms—by a sincere devotion to your
MAjesty's Person—and by an anxious desire to promote the
future glories of your Reign ; and in this spirit we conjure your
Majesty, by an auspicious change of Counsels and Measures, to
re-unite the great family of the British people, who have long
been divided. insulted, and oppressed, andwhich would continue
your Majesty on a Throne secured by their just affection, and
rendered no less glorious by the boundless resources of their
industry.
A..We therefore humbly pray your Majesty to dismiss from
your Presence and Counsels for ever. those Ministers whose per-
nicious measures have so long endangered: the Throne, under-
mined the Constitution, and blighted the prosperity of the
nation.

" Signed by Order of Court,
" HENRY WOODTHORPE."
To which his Majesty was pleased to return the
following Answer:—
It has been with the most painful feelings that I have heard
the sentiments contained in the Address and Petition now pre-
sented to me iby the Lord slVlayor, Aldermen, and Common
Council of the City of London.
Whatever may be the motives of those by whom it is brought
forward, its evident tendency is to inflame the passions and
mislead the judgment of the unwary and less enlightened part
of my subjects, and thus to aggravate all the difficulties with
which we have to con end.

The Vicar and Churchwarden of Preston are now

endeavouring to procure the dismissal of the parish
clerk, on four very grave charges, viz. naming his
infant daughter Caroline, assisting to ring the bells
on the news arriving that the Bill (4' Pains and Pe-
nalties was thrown out, wearing silk stockings on a
Sunday, and going to Chorley last Wednesday, to
attend a dinner there.

Mr. Archdeacon Bathurst has published the Ser-
mon which he intended to preach at St. Paul's, on
the gccasion of her Miljesty's visit, and has also writ-
ten a letter to the Bishop of Landaff, in which, after
stating that be came to London for the purpose of
preaching the Sermon, not anticipating any objec-
tion, he says :
" My intention, in undertaking the task of preaching the
sermon. Was to heal, and not to innate.
I necr a make the Clutch the vehicle of insult, •Vough
