NOTE.

The Note declares,
,that the King of Great Bfi- '
hitt has direeted his Commissioners, before they sign
the Treaty, to deliver. that N:)te, in order that a fair
understanding maybe had.by all parties of His Ma-
jesty's views, in consequence of i he:blockading De-
cree, to which the attention of the. American Com-
missioners is invited. This Decree, so recent in
point of time, and-so novel and monstrons in Alb-
stimee, that His iN,l*sty is at .a loss to-calculate on
events; but supposing, however, that it will be for-
111311y abandoned,'or totally relinVishea by iluoNA-
r.sitTE, or in case he is mistaken to that supposition,',
he rests with confidence on the good sense of the
Government of the United States, that they will not
submit to an innovation so destruaive to the rights
of neutral commerce. Should he, however, be mis-
taken in all these points, and the enemy should ac-
tnolly carry into execution his threats, and Neutral
Nationsracquiescein such usurpation, he may pro-
bably, though reluelantly,. he obliged to retaliate.,
llbe Treaty secures ,to the United States so many
privileges of neutral commerce, that at a time when.
11:15 .NNeity and all neutral Nations are. threatened
with such extensions of belligerent pretensions from
nis Enemies, without any explanation from the
United States,what they will do in ease &Tow PA win
attempts to force on them his Decree, His Majesty.
Must reserve to himself to act according to contin-
gencies in that particular, the sig,i%ing of the Treaty
notwithstanding. And as the distance of the Ante-
riczstt Commissioners from their Government renders
a previous explanation impossible, His MajestY.
att-
tliorises hiSCorrunissioners to finish the Treaty. This
!' done under the fullest persuasion, that, before the
tr'±,ity returns to Europe (tom America f-Itified„,,
time will discover the formal abandonment or tacit ,
r.e.iinquislimesst of the enemy of hisyreteogions ;
iii ease tbdt 6hould not take place, that the' Govern.;
rntint of the United States, by their.cOnduCt or as-
-surauces, will secure His Majesty, that they will not
st".nit to innovations, so destralive of maritime.
rea'lt'y, But iii,cas.e JA LION APARTH, enforces his'Decree
according to its . tenons-, and if, neither by. the as-
surances nor eondua of Ainerien a 'disposition is
2116wn to• oppose iit, His Majesty wishes it to be ,
fairly and cle.sfry • understood, that he will.not COn-
4der hinisell bound by. the signature; of his Cptu-
rnissioners to ratify-; incase- he ratifies, he will
llor and cannot be precluded from adopting -such
measures as may seem necessary for counteracting
the designs of his enemy, whenever they shall oe-,
Cur, and be of such a nature as to require extraordi-
nary remedies.

" CLARGHS-STREET, Ai/GUST 11.-1 have been

anntiaFfestivity 4of Lord Mayor's Pi), took
!pittmyeAerday,' with, till customary ceremony and
splendor: The Lana MAYOR Ele6l, and the late
_[.ono MAYOR, with the Sheriffs SMITH and PHIL-
Aldermen COMSE and PRICE, andseveral: other
Members.of the. Corporation, assemhlbd at Guild-
hall in their different ,robes of oftiee; the Lord

Mayor and Sheriffs went in their state carriages.
The company took,breakfast in some of the private
rooms. and at a Tinter -after. one thy set off in
procession to the writer-side. Two Marshalmen
went first to clear-the Way ; the two City. Marshals
o h orseback then led on the procession ; which
consisted of the Carriages of the late and present
Lord Mayor, tie Sheriff, and several of the Alder-
men, and smut!: other Members of the Corporation.
The Otlicers of all the different Guilds -then followed
in full dress,' with bands of music, and each Com-
. patty a standard, with their arms tidily emblazoned,
and banners with devices appropriate to each re-
speaive trade. The Ist London Volunteers did ho-
`nOtir to the new Lord Mayor (their Lieut:-Colonel),
by lending-their presence to increase the grandeur
of the speelacie.
• At about two o'clock they severally embarked on
board their state barges, and proceeded up to West-
minster Bridge. The New City Barge, and that of
the Clothiers' Company were particularly distin-
guished t:or taste and magnificence. The company
having handed at Palace Yard -Stairs, then went in
processi on on- mat to the Court of Exchequer, where,

the nevi Lord -Mayor was sworn into the faithfuk
perforrnatice of the duties of his office, and the late
Lord Mayor to the cerreaneSs ufhisacconnts. _After
an is pressive speech from the Bench npon t he.ica-
port'ance of the character and duties of Chief Magi-
stote of this great •Inetroliolii, and a suitable an-
scver on the part of the Corporation, they made their
Obedience and withdrew.-.

The present and 'the "Ex-Mayor, together with:,
the Sheriffs and a feW Odicers, then went to the
other great Courts of Record- in Westminster Hall,
paid their respe&s. to the Jodies; and invited 010 m
to dinner. in the City, They then returned by. water
in the. same Order as that in which they had gone
up the River, with bands of •music playing several
martial and .patriotic airs, and ric,ply ornamented
standards flying at; before. The day being extremely
fine, and the water almost. without a ruffle on its
surface, that part of the procession had a most beau-
tiful and grand effea.. . • . • ' •
Between fotir and 11;1 they returned to Guildhall:
The peat entrance hall was laid iPit for dinner in a.
style suitable to the wealth and dignity of this great
emporium of commerce, In the.centre hung a
niost beautifully diversified baloon, composed of up-
wards of I 000 variegated lamps, with a boat beneath
it, having the Union Flag and the royal standard -of
England, in miniature, flying on either Side. The
pillars on each side were decorated with variegated
lamps, seeming, to run in a spiral form froth the pe-
destal to the,top of the column. There we're two
very elegant cut glass lust res suvenfied fronfthe cell-
itig,one on each side of the balloon. ' At 'the top, cor-
nice next the .ceiling, there was all round the hall
. a range of drapery, as it May be. called, or festOons
of lamps of the most lively tints, with a bell* or drop
lamp between each. There was a very splendid de-
coration at the head of the table,, •consisting of a
crown in the centre, with a Prince's plume on each
side, and another ornament at the foot nearly simi-
lar in: design, and nearly equal in grandeur to that
at the head. These were formed of variegated
lamps,: with rich ground-work of resplendent foil.
The stained windows at each end shone with consi-
derably increased beauty from the brilliant, and,taste-
ful tplenduur of the laffiPi,
Ttsc:.cotiipany sat dtiwn to dinner at half past, six,
mid the tables groaned tinder a vlist weight of the
most Incurious dainties that opulence could porehitic,,
or that the taste and experience of Btt,Ctt and Hotiti-
.r,tAN could suggest. The alt ltrent courses being -end-
ed, and the cloth removed, the grave inuicles of time
Statesmen'si and MagistrAtes' countenances were for
a \Fhile relaxed, and , their sedate and sober spirits
wereenlieened by the Juice of
.the grape. ; Cham-
pagne, Burgundy, &c. were as plentilul_at this enter-
the lull enjoyment:of the
tainnientas it we were in
most unlitinted continental intercourse, with all the
world.
