4, MOST CILACIOUS SOVZREION,
" Your MAJESTY'S most dutiful and faithful subjects,
the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London
humbly approach your Royal Person, to congratulate your
MAJESTY on your happy accession to the Imperial Ciown

people. We humbly offer at the same time to year
MAJESTY our most sincere condolence on the afflicting loss
which your MAJESTY and the whole United Kingdom
have sustained in the demise of your Royal Brother, our
late revered and beloved Sovereign—a loss which has in-
flicted a deep wound on the feelings of all the subjects of
the United Empire.
" We reflect with pride and gratitude on the pre-
eminent glory attained by these realms in the deliverance
of Europe from that military tyranny which had well nigh
overwhelmed her but for the energies of Britain, under
Divine Providence, during the period in which the Regal
Functions were exercised by ysur MaJesTy's Royal Bro-
ther, our late lamented Sovereign.
"We exult no less on the superiority in arts to which
this country has advanced during the reign of our late
Sovereign, of which the magnificent improvements in the
Metropolis of the Empire will exhibit some of the most
splendid proofs for ages yet to come.
" The stream of time will sweep away the many living
grateful witnesses of the amiable manners and endearing
condescension of our late departed Mortaacir, but the
faithful page of history will record to the end of time the
name of Geortox the Fourth among the number of chose
excellent Princes who have been at once the rulers and the
berefactors of their people.
" Your Majesty's faithful subjects, the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen of the City of London, feel the highest con •
sciatica that the sceptre of these Realms is still swayed by
a Prince imbued from his earliest youth with principles of
the greatest veneration and regard for our glorious Consti-
tution and the just liberties of his subjects; and they en-
tertain the fullest persuasion that that Constitution and
these liberties will ever find in your Gracious MAJESTY
their best and surest protector, and the firmest conviction
that the interests and welftre of your people will always
constitute the nearest and dearest wish of your Mart sry's
heart.

" Accept, Gracious Sire, the cordial tribute of their
most sincere loyalty and affection to your MAJESTY'S sa-
cred person and Government, and the fullest assurance of
their fervent prayers to the Almighty Ruler of Princes,
that your MAJESTY'S reign may be prolonged in health—
in perfect connubial happiness with your Illustrious and
most amiable Consort, and in every other earthly blessing
to the most extended period of human existence."
To which Address his MAJESTY was pleased to re-
turn the following most gracious answer :
" This dutiful and affectionate Address, condoling with
use on the loss which I have sustained by the death of the
late Kura, my lamented Brother, and congratulating me
on my accession to the Throne of my ancestors, is highly
consolatory and satisfactory to my feelings.
" I cordially thank you for your assurances of affec-
tionate attachment to myself and to the Qom, my be-
loved Consort.
" The love of my people, confirmed by the experience
of a mild and paternal rule, will be the highest reward and
gratification which I can receive.
" I ant sensible that the prosperity of the City of Lon-
don is intimately united with the general interests of the
country; and I shall Le discharging one of the moat im-
portant of my public duties, and at the same time gratify
my own paternal feelings for the good of my people, by
manifesting, on every occasion, a watchful care for your
