7'o his Royal Highnes§ the PRINCE of WAL'us, Regent of the

United Kingdom; of Great Britain and Ireland.

The dutiful and lOyal Address of the. Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and Commons of the bity'Of London, in Common
C.:Omni' assembled.

MiY it please your Royal Highness !

We, hii Majesty's mot dutiful and loyal subjects, the
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and :70n.11-nots of the City of Lon-
don,' in, Comnnion‘Conn'cil assembled, beg leave to approach
your Royal Highness With the sincerest -affection to your
ROyal -person, and with the warmest cOngratulationA upon
the glorious victory obtained by the Allied Army, on the IBth.
of June, under the command of Field Marshal the 'Duke o
Wellington.
At a period when the- tumults of war had subsided, and
peaCe had begun to shed inralutable blessings oVerlong con-
tending and hostile nations, it was with indignation and hot_
roe we beheld the return of that person who had been the
dreallul scourge of Europe from an obscurity in
,which the

stipulations of a Solemn treaty had hound him to contio,e.

We observed with grief, that on his re-appearauce the lav-
flit Sovereign of France was compelled by a Jehenio 's and
faithless soldiery to leave his capital, and to take refuge in.
the Netherlands. We felt assured, that the relations of peace
and amity, Which had been so recently entered into by•yoar
Royal 'Highness in the name of our beloved 'Sovereign, could
not be maintained :with this daringl3stirp'er, who had r4eo-
- manifested that no'Treaty was held sacred by him longer
than suited the purposes of his ambition or revenge, wh., ad
constantly evinced the deepest hatred cif the iqitish name
and character, and with whom. his Majesty's Allies bad una-
nimously declared the impossibility of making' any engage-
ments in the relations of peace and concord.

Under these difficult circu►ustances. We beheld with the

highest satisfaction thi! wisdom of your Royal Highness, in
appoißtin to the chief Coumiat,d of his Majesty's Armies ott
the Continent that Illustrious Hero who—had so often led

theta to conquest and to glory.
it is with tha most heartfelt joy we contemplate the late
victory, as'alfording !mother leaf to the page of history, by,
recording further magnifii:ent deeds to enhance the honour
and grandeur of the British' Empire, in which will be seen,
that a greatly superior force of the veteran armies of France:,
commanded by Napoleon Buonaparte, could not withstand,
the irresistible bravery of British heroes, when guided by a
Wellington aided 'by a Blucher. .

It is with the deepest sorz'ow we lament the fall of a large
portion of these brace defeuders_ of the liberties of Euro;e;
and particularly of an illustrious member of -your Itoyal
Highness's familY, who has ever evinced• the characteristic
gallantry of a Prince of the House of Brunswick; but we
trust the issue of this great event affords a well-grounded
hope, that the power of the Usurper will be deoto...d, and
the peace of EUrope established upon the Most solid founda-
-
tion.

We shall continue to place our humble reliance on th►e
Divine goodness, that these results ivaY. speedily take place,,
and that the glory, the peace, and the prosperity of this
United Kingdom, under the Government of your Royal.
Highness, and a long line of succeeding Princes of your Royal
Highness's illustrious House, may endure until the latest
period of time.

We have only further to intreat your Royal Highness to
be assured of the continued zeal, loyalty, anti affection of his
Majesty's faithful Citizens of London, to support your Royal
Highness in bringing this great contest:to a speedy and happy
termination.

Signed by order of Court,
HENRY WOODTHORPE.

To which Address his Royal Highness- was
pleased to return the following most gracious
answer

I receive with the greatest satisfaction this loyal and du—
tiful Address.

by the favour of Divine Providence the first operations of
the Allied Armies on the Continent hare been attended with
the most signal and decisive success ; and we may confidently
trust, that the high Military reputation which this country
bas acquired by the undaunted valour and consummate dis.,
cipline of our troops, and the transcendant genius and heroic
.exaMple of the great Cotumander who has constantly led them
to victory, will afford one of the most immortal securities for
the future tranquillity and independence of Europe. •
I deeply lament with you the extent of private calamity oc-
casioned by the loss of many valuable Officers and men in the
- late unexampled contest, and I-feel most sensibly the manner
In which you have adverted to an Illustrious Member of the
•IlOuse of Brunswick who closed on that immortal occosiOd a
career of honour with a death of glOry:
To the surviving relatives of those who have fallen it must
be a soothing reflection that they have perished imajost ands
noble cause, and that the memory of their splendid and ines-
, tituable'services will be cherished with adtuiration and grati-

tude to the latest posterity.
I' have a perfkt reliance on the steadfast loyalty and pablic
Spirit of't he Citizens of Loudon, and on your assurances

support is such insertions as limy tie necessary to bring this
most important contr,it to-a speedy and happy terminat?un.
They were all very gracmusly received, aild hart
