FRANCE AND NAVARUD;

•The Addrets of 'Congra"tulation of the Lord Mayor, Alder-

• May it please your Most Christian Aftifesty,
We, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the
City of London, in Common Council assembled, beg leave to
approach yoar Majesty with the tender of our sincere congra-
tulation upon the great and glorious Events which, 'under
the guidance of a gracious Providence,' have led to -the Deli

that has ever enslaved and aalicted mankind..
It is matter of cordial gratification to the People of this
Country, that during the wide and desolatmg ravages of war,
• a safe asylum has been found in these happy realms for the
Royal Family of France.
The day is now arrived when your Majesty is called upon

turn the following Answer :
MY LORD, GENTLF4MEN,
I thank you with all my heart, for your obliging Address,
and kind wishes.

It is, I assure you, as gratifying to my pride, as affecting to
my heart, to receive the felicitations of the City of London on
so happy an Event.
Never will my Family or myself forget the Asylum afforded.
to us, in the stand of England against Tyrnany ; nor the.
powerful aid which has enabled my people to speak -freely
their sentiments of loyalty.
For my own part, I will be always .anxiouA to promote, be-
tween the two Kingdoms, a friendship which alone-can insure
the mutual felicity end the repose of the World.

. •
They were all graciously received.
A great ntunber of the Nobility and Gentry
went to pay their respects to the Duchess D'AN-
GOULEME, at her house in South Audley-street,
VevioHsly to her leaving London this clay. Her
Royal Highness was also favoured with a visit
from Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY.

Mr. LEWIS GO4,DSNI ITFI was presented to the
King of FaANc F. on Thursday, and waS most gra-
ciously received.

• We understand, from a Correspondent at Edin-
burgh, that the disposition of the French pri-
soners in the two depots in Scotland were quite
a contrast to each other.. At Perth, which is
the larger depOt, they denounced NAroLcoN as a
Usurper, and declared for Lovis-XVIII. Those
at Pennycuick, on the contrary, continue to ad-
here to the cause of BUONAPARTE, and, like their
Master, have manifested their feelings in the
violent and outrageous manner, approaching even
to riot. They have also practised themselves in
slinging stones, which they aim at those who e,e•
hibit the White Cockade. It is preSumed, from
the correct and calm conduct of the prisoners at
Perth, that their dispositions had been long known;
and, on- that account, kept in a separate prison,
for none of that rebellious spirit which has con-
stantly marked the prisoners at Ileiwycuick Was:.
ever evinced at Perth during the long period of"
their confinement. We hope most sincerely, that,
in returning thein to their native country, Go-
' vernment will notice this, and send them not only
distinct from each other, but that those who have
been- most conspicuous at
.Pennycuick will he
marked by name, and specially recommended to
the Care of the French,Government.
Captain WALLtS, of his Majesty's ship Dolphin,
Dec. 29, 1766, at Port Fatnin,e, in the Straits.
of Magellan, put on board the Prince Frederick
storeship many thousands of young trees, care-
fully taken up With their roots, and a proper
quantity of earth, and sent them to the Command-
ing Sea Officer at Port Egmont, Falkland's Islands,
to be there planted, as there-was no wood crow-
ing •011 these islands; lii consequence of this,"
there must now be plenty of trees growing in ,the
vicinity of Port Egmont ; and, as these trees will-
afford shelter for yoangoaks, it will be advan-

tageous to the Biitisb.N. avy at a distant period
to:have forests of oaks at Falkland's Islands. At
the peace,' vessels might be sent to Port Egmont
plant acorns ; the best of the kind being se-
lected for that purpose. The expense.to Govern-
ment will be small, but the future advantages. very
great to the British nation.
On Friday
,morning, as the workmen,
were fix -
Ing the deviee for illuminating the 'Custom-
house in Edinburgh, a most melancholy and fatal
accident occurred, by the workmen having
prudently placed too much weight on a part of:
the scaffolding not properlysecured. At seven
o'clock, while five men were on the upper part,
one of the braces inside the house gave way, arfir
precipitated four.orthein, with the scaffold dn.
which they were standing, to the ground. The,
remaining one, an old man, clung to a remnant;
and escaped unhurt. One of the Otherialthough

unfortunate, fell into the area ; one of whom was
