TO THE KING's MOST EXCELLENT MA tESTY,
The humble and dutiful Address and Petition of the Lord
Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of London,
in Common Council assembled; • • • "
" MOST GRACIOUS SOVEREIGN,
" We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal Subjels, the
bard Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons, of the City of Los-
pammon Council assembled, most hurnbly_approach-
your Mal? Sty, with renewed assurancesof attachment to your
Majekfl'inost sacred Person and Government, and venera-
tion for the free principles of the British Constitution.; to ex-
press to ytiur Majesty our grief and astonishment at the ex-
traordinary and disgraceful - Convention lately entered into by
the Commander of your Majesty's Forces in P,ortngar. and
the Commander of the 'French Army in Lisbon. •

" The circumstances attendi;ig this affliditig event cannot
be coritemplatedzin-British minds -without the mast painful
emotions, and, all ranks of your Majesty's subjeds seem to
have felt the utmost concern- and indignation at a Treaty so
humiliating and degrading to this.Count,ry and its Al
After a signal vidory gained by the ,valour and ciisciplia of
British Troops, by which the Enemy appears to have been
cut offfrom all means of succour or esra lie,' we have the sari
mortification ofsee.ing the laurels'so nobly acquired torn from
the brows of our brave Soldiers, and terms graiited to the
Bitemy' disgraceful to the British name, and injurious to the
best interests of the British Nation. .
" Besides the restitution -of the Russian Fleet oporo de"
finitive Treaty of' Peiice with that Power, and the sendili,
back to their country, without exchange, so large a number ot
Russian Sailors ; by this ignominious Convention, British
Fleets are to convey to France the French Army and its
plunder, where they will be at liberty immediately to re-
commence their adive operations against us or our Al hes.
The guarantee and safe conveyance of their -plunder, cannot
but prove highly iftitating to the pillaged inhabitants over
whom whom they have 'tyrannized, and fur whose deliverance and
the British Army was sent, and the full recognt",
tion of the title and dignity of Emperor of France, while all
mention of the Government of Portugal is omitted, must be.
considered as highly disrespeetful to the legitimate authoritY
• of thatie.caintry. . .
15Q/;therefore humbly pray your Majesty, in justice .to
_the outraged feelings of a brave, injured, and indignant
people, whose blood and treasure have been thus expended.
as well as to retrieve the wounded honour of the country, aO4,
to remove from its character so foul a stain in the eyes
Europe, that your Majesty will be graciously pleased int"
mednitely to institute such an Inquiry into this dishonour'
able and unprecedented transaction, as will 'lead to-the
covery and punishment of .those by whose inisconduat and 6
incapacity the cause of the Couutry and its Allies 4a5-bee
so shamefully sacrificed.

241 contain the following intelligence :---1 , „
`,` Troops and artillery daily

will continue through thri'Place
Burin, the whole month of Weber.
"
We. have this instant received information, that
the Spanish General BLAKE has collie froin the Astu-
rias with a division of 8000 men, and is marching
upon Bilhos.
" Letters received this morning from Vittoria
state,
his I Ala' Marshal BESSIERES, who had removed
lead-quarters to Burgos, had, upon receiving
intelligence of the movement of the Spaniards,
marched at the head of a division, with the inten-
tire) of cutting them off; and it was even said stisat
he . had already arrives; at Laredo, througNlShiels
I
place it was most probable that BLAKE'S Cciel3d Would
endeavour to escape.
r The same letters further state, that Vittoria is.
in.a state of complete tranquillity ; and should the
Spaniards attack the French in their strong positions,
their temerity would most certainly. receive a severe.
chastisement.
At the departure of the latest intelligence from
Bilbea, no English ships were then in view ; and.the
movements against the city were regarded as being
merely 'intended to operate .a diversion. Measures
were taken accordingly.
" The commercial relations with Bayonne are still
in full activity.
" The troops that were encamped on the glacis
set off this morning for Spain ; and it is stated, that
the troops, on their march for this place, will ar-
rive sooner than we expealed ; as they are advanc-
ing by different routes through thegreater and leSser,
• ' Landes. .
" The supplies of bread, meat, forage, &c. are
ordered to be got ready by the 27th.
" The corps commanded by Marshal NEY is in
the
,presence of the insurgent:arthy under the com-
mand of General C.isrsstos•; and his Eascellen.cy
appears to have concerted some enterpti_tisu: Svl!
Marshal MONCEY.
" All the troops are full of animation, and their
march through France is a truly magnificent ex-
pedition. They proceed through the departments
amidst the congratulations and embraces of their
Countrymen ; but their chief festivity will be when
1 • they shall find themselves opposed to the En-
glish."

OißOit THE COURT GAZE'T'TE.)
I ST. PEXERSBURbiI, SEPT. 7.—" Oil the oth
of August. (O—S) Admiral CHANYKOW sailed
from. Hangudd, with his Squadron, e.,esiseisting•
or nine Sail of the Line and nine Frigates; adl.
steered for Jongevrouw Sontid, to reconnoitre
the strength and position of the enemy, and to ad
according to circtimstances. He discoyefed the enee'
niy's fleet, consisting of 18 Ships and Frigates, in
Jongevrousie at anchor in the Scheeren. Admiral
CHANYKOW cruized there with his Sqnadron until
the 13th, when he Peatned from his advanced Fri-
gates that the enemy were Weighing anthor. The
Admiral immediately detaOhed a Sloop of War to
observe the enemy, placed himself in Older of bat-
tle, made sail to the East, Ito prevent being cut off
from his ports, where it was Pais intention to comb
mence a general engagement. In the afternoon of
the same day there was perceived'from the mast
head the enemy's Squadron, reinforced by two Eng-
lish Ships, in chace of our Fleet. The next morn-
ing Admiral CHANYKOW determined to attack the
enemy, and kept tacking during the night to gain
the wind of the enemy. At day-break the enemy's
fleet, consisting of 13 Sail of tne Line and five large
frigates, was seen to leeward. Among them were
two English Ships, one a three-des:lrer, carrying a
Rear-Admiral's Flag, and the other a two-decker, of
the largest size. There. was also a three-decket
among the Swedish Ships. The van. of the enemy,
led by the English Ships, were then close up with
our rear, and at five o'clock in the morning the two
English Ships -attacked successively the Wsewolod,
the Tait Ship of our rear,. which had fallen to
.
" Admiral CHANYKOW immediately bore down
with the 'whole of his Squadron. The English,
afraid of being cut of instantly tacked, and the
Swedes did the same.- Captain RUDNEW, of the
Wewolod, was the first to open his fire upon the.
enemy, and vigorously-repulsed their attack in the
view of the two •Fleets, but suffered much id his rig-
- ging. His main and top-gallant masts, and toe ,
greatest part of his running rigging, were shot to
pieces, and he was no longer able to keep his place ,
in the line, which he communicated by signal. Ad-
miral CHANYKOW, who was an eye-witness to all
this, allowed him to ge, into Baltic Port,. and oider
ed a Frigate to take him in tow. In consequence
of this,Our'Fieet was a Ship less in number even be-
fore thebattle began. Besides, the Sewerhcija Swesda
could not set all her sails, on account of some sud..
den damage she had sustained.
" From these causes the enemy was stronger than
we, and Admiral CHANYKOW made sail for Baltic
Port, to prevent the enemy from availing himself,
of his superiority. The enemy also made sail to
windward, and the English Vessels made use of all
their dexterity to cut off the Wmwolod, which could
not be, rput in condition, or kept up with our Fleet.
To prevent this, Admiral CHANYKOW: threw- out a I
Signal to the rear to cover this Ship, and te give her .
every possible assistance; but having fallen too far
to leeward, the. Wsewolod, botwitstanding all the •
efforts or her Commander, and of the other Captains
of the division, could tint get round the northern
extremity of the Island of Rolla, and enter Baltic
Port with the rest of the Fleet. She was therefore
obliged to come to anchor to time northward of the
Island, at a short distance from the shore. •
" In the mean time the Commender in Chief en-
tered with all his Squadron, carne to anchor, and
made every preparation necessary for repulsing the
enemy ; but the latter stood .otiti with all his Fleet.
The first care of the Admiral was to endeavour to
bring in the WSewolnd ; and for this purpose he col-
letted all.the Boats, and appointed to this duty the
Second Captains Mt N tzisot and TuLu 8.1 E OffiCel'S
'of talents and experience. At three in the afternoo
'they proceeded, and as there was but little wind, be-
gan to take the Vessel in tow. .The English Ships
immediately in sight of the Swedish Fleet set all
their sails, and it was imphssible for us to get up
'our anchors on account of the wind, which blew
gently from ale North-east ; they bore down on the
Wsewolod, which was attacked by one of the Eng-
lish Ships when she was jnit in the ad of rounding
the neck of land, and in the evening she was at- I
tacked by the other. 'All the. Boats were dispersed
'by the enemy's broadsides, but Captain MLNIZKOI
colleaed them, and returned to the Squadron.
" ,There soon ,commenced a fresh action between
the IfisiaSsoisod and time two English Ships. • Captain
RobesEw encouraged his crew, who, for the greater
part, were composed of men taken from the Militia.
His bravery inspired them with courage, anti he re- •
ceived the enemy gallantly and intrepidly.. The fire
of the. heavy guns was dreadthl on both sides ; thet
of the small arms, which began shortly after, in-
creased the horror of the fight; at every broadside,
the shughter became greater. The Captain of the
Wsewolod, who had so warmly received both his
intrepid enemies, did not lose his presence of mind,
but did them very great damage, supported by the
most exemplary efforts of valour and skill from Cap-
tain TULUBJEW and the other Officers. The If/se-
wobd discharged iser whole broadside into the stern
of one of the enemy's Vessels which got 'upon a
sand-bank, and killed a number of her crew ; but
having many shots through her hull, and making a
great deal of water, she began to sink. s
f` In this state of distress time Wsewolod hoisted
the few tatters of sails which were left, and renewed
the engagement. She was then boarded by one of
the enemy's ships, and a dreadful carnage ensued:
The enemy were frequently obliged to retreat, but
returned to time cisaree with increased fury. All
the mincers and' crew of the Wsewolod did their
duty, and did not spare even to the last drop of their
blood. ' The slaughter lasted upwards of an hour,
and would have only ceased with the death of thelast
of time combatants, had not the.other English Ship
approached the If"sew4lod.
.Having come' as close to
her as she could, shegpve our vessel her whole broad-
side, and completely destroyed, her. The English
then took ~possession ,of a vessel shot through- and
and filled with dead. Such of our people
being no longer in a condition to resist
att
ersoueui:glve
enemy,
jumped overboard, to avoid being taken
prisoners, and ati of them by these means, support-
ed by oars and the floating wreck of the vessel, r
escaped. . tnglish firsdiog it impossible to 'get

COAL-HEAVERS.—Our Readers will reeolleta,
these people lately entered in to a combination against
their Masters and the Public for an increase or wiipe,;,'
although -they—could earn Jbarteen shilLugs a *-Clay:
without any-pftmrdioary exertion. The Magistrates,
however, gave orders to their Officers' to aprehelid,
such as should,presume to detilao4 a great 2r rate than'_
that allowed by the regulations. -The Coal-heavers
then refused to work at aic expecting that their.
Masters could not dispense with theil. services. A suf..;

rates, and the old. Coal-heavers are now going abaut k

BoxtNo.--A very obstinately contested pitched
battle w4`l-6`,.1 morning, for
.a purse of
twenty gdifigisigifd a blooming, damsel of eighteen,
between a 'gentleman coachman, of the name of
Howard, and a , person of the name of tii idin, a.
coach proprietor. The match was made in the heat
of the moment on Monday last,. when the compe-
titors, who .Were rival suitors of the lady, both un-
luckily met together at her lodgings, and a short ren,.
contre followed. 'Vile money was, staked, death or
vitilory, and the parties met at day-break yesterday
morning, in a field between Anton and Wormwood
Scrubs. The ,battle lasted, 40 mituates, and about
double that number of tremendous unskilful blows
were excharwid. Viatc•ry, which alternately hovered
over each, ultimately crowned the head of Howard,
who was quite as badly beaten as his antagonist;
and had .the young lass for whom they fonght been
present, it would have puzzled her to distinguish
the features of her champions.

his Majesty, that if he had any faith he might easily
dispose of it. Do you' take me for an infidel ? said
the King. " No, please your Majesty," said the
DoCtor, " but I say, if your Majesty had faith.you,
might remove this mountain (clapping his hand upOn
his proMinent belly) . into the See." The. King was
so pleased with the pun that he gave him the
Bishopric.' .
On Monday evening, about seven o'clock., Mr.
Anthony (a traveller from Manchester) Was stopped
on the road,' about half way,,, between Wallingtor'd
and Reading, by a footpad, who demanded his mo-
ney, which Mr. Anthony resolutely refused, when
