..CITY QUARTER ASSEMBLY.
- No business of a public nature came before the
Assembly yesterday, but an Address to his Majesty,
.on the-present crisis of affairs in Spain and Portu-
gal, proposed by Mr: GIFFARD. He stated, that in
rising upon this occasion Le felt, unusual satis-
fadion that he had not. to apprehend any oppo-
sition to the measure he intended to propose ;—on
the Contrary, he 'was certain of the support of
every Gentleman in that House, as well those who.
generally stood against him as they with whom he
usually, aited. To .aid a *gallant people struggling
for liberty, was a.sentiment so congenial to the feel-
ings of Irishmen, that he tow apprehended no con--
test but the honourable struggle of who should he
most forward in applauding our beloved Sovereign for.
the great and glorious effort he was making" in the
' cause of the oppressed nations, Spain and Portugal ;
he would therefore propose, that an humble and du-
tiful Address should be laid at the foot of ;he
Tnrone, expressing the exultatiOn which his Ma-,
Jesty's faithful and loyal Citizens of Dublin to It in
every circumstance which extended his Majesty's
glory and renown—and the great satisfaction with
which they beheld the prompt, generous, and pow-
erful aid his Majesty was pleased to extend to the.
ancient and illustrious Nations of Spain and Portu-
gal ; an aid which at once manik-sted the wisdom
of his Majesty's Councils and the benevolent di,-
-position of his Royal Mind--. That to. succour the
distressed, to defend the weak, to resist the Tyrant
and Oppressor of Europe, Were not only acts dig-
nified, _honourable, and congenial, to his Majesty's
high and virtuous feeling, but acts of 'sound politi-
cal wisdom, which afforded the best founded hopes,
not only that Spain and, Portugal, aided by Britain,
might be ultimately successful in the present ardu-
bus straggle for ?Liberty, Tit that other Nati,ns,
excited by their great example, might rouse from
their torpid star of degradation, and determine to be
free ; and thus, finally, that 'Europe might be
rescuad from the domination of a base andunprin-
cipled Usurper, - •
He proposed to COISCIUUe his Address, with ari'
earn,:st prayer that his Majesty tight_ long Ilse the
Pefender of Lgierly and Virtue, tne Atc and Suc-
cour of the Oppressed—tne Protector of Europe,
and the betoved Father of a faithful, loyal, and pros-
perous People.
• These sentiments wore received with general tie-
clamarion, attn a Committee of six was appointed
to wee' six (it the Aldereten, who, with. the aid
of the Recorder, were directed to draw no an.-Aft.

TUE TUEATRE.—The tragedy of The Revenge
was reprvsenrted last night at the Haymarket theatre,,
and afforded Mr. YOUN9 an opportunity of increas-
ing the high opinion of his talents which his previbus'
efforts pave excited it the public Mind. His perform-
ance was throughout charaCterised by judgment, and
animated by feeling. It never can be said of this Actor
that he is negligent, and " comes tardily off,- for he
is rat her inclined to take too tnualf pains ;'hence there
.is at ,times ati appearance of too labouted a pre-
. .cision. s manner was observable several
