Alderman OfißisrOPFlgß SMITH, in the Chair,

Resolved Unanimously,

To his Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT.
M iy it plea:.e your "oval Highness,
We, his Majesty's dutif,:land loyal subje ds, the under.
Signed Liveryinen of the City of London, beg leave to ap.
proaeh your Royal Fl:glint.ss with the strongest assurances
of attachment to your Person, art of our resolution to sup.
post y Jur (_;overtuncot with zeal, constancy, and firmness.
wiliie we sympa:ilize most deeply with your Royal High-
ness or, the lamented indispos.tion of our venerable and be-
loved Sovereign, we eagerly seize this opportunity to convey
to )nor Royal Highness the ardent fzelings of gratitude ex •
cited in our breasts by the numerous blessings which we have
el-Toyed, during the long and gloriouS reign of your Royal
Father ; and more especially by the unequivocal so
repcateily under circumstances of peculi•t 1-
ty, of his sacred :cord for those fututainental pri s of
tie Constitution which seated your Illustrious Family on the
Thrihe of these Realms.

Most ciirdially do we congratulate your Royal Highness
pn the brilliant success which hes distinguished his Majes-
t)‘s arms, during the short period ofthu Regency, in differ.
(iturters ot the globe, by sea and land; success not less
t,tAiticial in its immediate effeets than in its remote conse-
quences, since it affords a strong ground of hope, that by a
cootil,tied display ot the same consummate skill and bravery
on pert of ...his Majesty's officers and men, and of the
s .inc wisdom and vigour in the Councils of your Royal High-
a2A.:, you' will be enabled ultimately to bring the arduous
ccruet in which we ate engaged to an honourable ter-
mination.

At, the same time, we reflex with pride on the measures
pursued by your Royal Highness, fur the support of the na.
f(mal charatler, by the preserVation of the national , faith
with his Majesty's Allies; - for the determination to per.
severe_in that glorious stuiT,le for independence on the Pen.
insula, which is the common cause or all who enjoy and ap.
pit ciate the blessings of national freedom; —for the anxiety
manifested by your Royal Highness, to support the corn.
wercia I credit of the uution, and to promote the general wet-
fart and haaniess Of the country ; and•while we deeply la_
went the pressure of the times, caused by difficulties in trade
an.l manutadures, arising the nature of the present contest,
and partly ,front the dearness. of corn; we cannot but express.
our ,indignation at the attempts which have been made to
indispose lie people against the overnment, for events which
C so evidently been beyond their cuntroul.

rem our experience of past we are led to congratulate
the country on the existence of a well -grounded hope, that
the Civil and Religious 'Liberties of the Nation, as finally
settled, and firmly established at the ineinurible era of the
t,,,,,11:ti0n, and the Protestant ascendancy, to which, under
Providence, we are indebted for the inestimable blessings we
Ire pet tamed to enjoy, wil r be maintained inviolate.
Relying on the goodness of the Almighty forfora continu-
Inve of these blessings, we ardently pray that your Royal
iljghnets may long be preserved to the Nation in health,
prosperity, and happiness.

It is with the most sincere satisfaaion that we

announce to our Readers the capture of Badajoz.

-It was taken, by storm, on the 61b instant. A

vessel arrived yesterday at Plymouth with the

ntelligence, which was immediately transmitted by

elegraph ; but in consequence of the fog yesterday

evening, the Message was stopped .at one of the
telegraph stations called Cabbage-hill, from whence

was transmitted by post to the Admiralty, where

was received this morning. The official dis-

patches Will probably be in town in the course of

his day.

Although., from what we have seen of the prin.;"
ciples by which the American Government is in-
fluenced, 'we have no right to expel any thing like
impartiality towards the Belligerents, yet we cannot
but think, that when the late declaration of the
French Government, declaring that the Berlin and
Milan Decrees are still in full force, shall reach Ame-
ri'2a, the Government of that country will be, in a
manner, forced to.discontinue its hostile proceedings
against Great Britain, and to put the Belligerents
upon an equal footing. Much pains have been taken
in this countrys to confound and perplex our present
dispute with America, though, in fact, it is
most simple and intelligible. France published cer-
tain Decrees, 'the objea of which was to prevent
Great Britain from having any commercial inter-t
course with the Continent, and to place the British
Isles in a state of blockade. Great Britain, in con-
sequence of these Decrees, • issued her Orders in
Council prohibiting all trade with France except
through the medium of Great Britain. Ametica
complained bath of the French Decrees, and British
Orders in Cou9cil as a violation orneutral riihts

and adopted Soffit strong itteattites against ttudi
Belligerents. She however dedaredl that if either
of them rescinded their obnokious Decreed or
Orders, she would Immediately resume a friendly
intercourse with that State, and keep her ports
shut against the other. In this state of things,
BUONAPARTIt, in 1810, declared, that from the
Ist of November of that year, hit Decrees, as
far as they concerned America, should be rescinded.
The American Government eagerly caught at rhat
declaration, and demanded that our Orders in Coun-
cil should be repealed. The British Government
replied, that the Berlin and Milan Decrees were not
rescinded either in form or in substance; and upon
that point we have been in dispute with America till
the present time. BUONAPARTE bad now, however,
settled the dispute, by declaring that the Berlin and
Milan Decrees are in full force. This distin&
avowal of the fad, together with the declaration
issued by the British Government, declat ing its will-
ingness to repeal the Orders in Council when France
rescinds her Decrees, will, WA trust, bring our
discussions with America to an amicable termination,
It is hardly necessary to state, that the declara-
tion of the Govern.; ent had no conneEtion
wltliever with the flag of truce which has arrived
from -France,

Accounts have been recei%cd in town of further
instances of outrage having been committed
irrJuc }-alts Of the country ; but we have strong
reason to believe that they are, in most cases,
very much exaggerated. The reports of riots having
taken place in Birrninglynn are not true. We re-
ceived this morning the following Letter from that
town, from a Gentleman of great reSpeBability, and
upon whose accuracy we place the -highest conn-
det.ce

•• Birmingham, Wednesday, April 23.

" I have the pleasure to inform jcut that we are
all quiet here, though attempts have been made by
so►ne insidious scoundrels, by dis►ributing MSS. -'of
a seditious tendency, in order to make a disturbance;
vet the good sense of the people and the thivity of
our Magistrates, VILLERS, HICKS, HAMPER, &c,
have finally overcome all their attempts."
In some places the M-igistrates have published
hand-bills (and we wish the practice was adopted
whenever any disposition to riot appears), 'ap-
prizing the deluded people, that if they de-
stroy the house or the property of any per-
son, they do not injure him, but the inhabi-
tants of the Hundred in which he lives, some
of whom may be their friends. This information
may also be useful in - inducing the inhabitants of
the Hundred to be vigilant in repressing any disposi-
tion to riot, when they know that they must pay
for any danlage_that tray be carnmitteli.

Aire stop the Press to state, that we have just
heard that a duel has taken picc.! this morn-
ing between' two Noble Lords, (one of them not
a Member of the House of Peers); in which the
latter was severely wounded.—The duel arose in
consegoence of something which passed in the D.:-
bate of Tuesday.

Yesterday. soon after two o'clock, his Royal
Highness the PRINCE REGENT held a Levee at
Carrion House. A troop of the 2d Life Guards
marched into Pall Mall about one o'iock, and a de-

cilan and Turkish Embassadors ; the Lord Mayor,

After the Levee, the PRINCE gave audiences to

was pleased to appoint next Tuesday, at' Three
