pose of drawing up a congratulatory address to the
King on his late providential escape from assassination.
The hour originally fixed was 12 o'clock, but in conse-
quence of its being Sunday a notice was posted up de-
terring the meeting till 2. Shortly after that hour seve-
ral gentlemen were in attendance. Mejor- General Sir

scribed the deep feeling of indignation experienced by

tempt upon the King's life.

adopted :
•4 1. Resolved, that the British t.na American resi-
dents in Paris, enjoying the protection of the French
Government, under the
,auspiees of his Melesty Louis
Philippe, profoundly, indignant. at the ettempt upon the
life of his Most Gracious 'MnIeStY: reeithat it is their
duty, not only to a Sovereign whose virtues inspire re-
spect in all well-constituted minds, but also to the cha-
racter of their own nations, to express to his Nlajesty
their heartfelt joy at this new interposition of Divine
, Providence in his favour.

" 2. Resolved, that the following address be adopted
by this meeting.
" 3. Resolved, that a deputation be appointed to wait

" 4. Resolved, that one of the committee be requested
to ascertain through the regular channel when his Ma•
i_ssty will be pleased to receive the deputation."

The following address was then read :
" TO THE KING'S MOST LXCELLENT MAJESTY.

" We, the undersigned British and American resi-
d,2nts in Paris, beg leave to approach ycur Majesty to
express our horror and indignation at the late attempt
on your Majesty's most precious life, and to offer our
let vent and sincere congratulations that Divine Provi-
dence has again shielded your Majesty, and rendered
the attack abortive. May God long preserve your Ma-
jesty and your august Emil)."
Oa wit but one dissen-
tientThe above address was adopted
voice,

On a Motion by Mr. Rotch, one of the Maßistrates
for Middlesex, that the Chitirma. requested
to ascertain wheot. h Majesty would be pleased to
rcceivo ttl, address, it was sue ested by Ihron
Nit.rie that the deputation should be as numero7is
possible, and that the oide-,,',,?-retno `ei .?; ei'De e snould
be informed that ft l'rtb 'the Wish of a very large number
of OritiAl anti American subjects to take this opportu-
nity of paying their respects to his Majesty. lea re-
minded the meeting that on the last er:cmittn Hf
nature, an attempt he.,tot bt.Fe,ri by some persons
to regtrict th's hi mber of the deputation on the ground
that the King would object to receive a large number,
his Majesty caused it to be known that he copld not
receive too many of his English at'id Arheii&M friends.
He also quoted a passage from the reply of the King
to that address, in order to show the kind feelings of
Louis Philippe towards the English and Americans-.

The above suggestion was adopted and it #.7aS ar-
ranged that a meeting thonld be tailed by the Chairman
to report his Maje6t)-s pleasure as to the time and
manner of presenting the address.
A vote of thanks was then moved to the Mailman,
and similar votes to the gentlemen who had callod the
meeting, and especially to the ptoptietti• tif the bedibrd
Hotel, for the handsome Mauler in which he had lent
the meeting the Use of his room, refusing, as on a former
occasion, to accept any rcmuncraticn.
