WE received this morning the Park Palm to
7th inst. We are still left without any attOentie
inktmatton respecting the fate of Hanever. A Let.
ter from Be,-Mr, of the 24. th May, statei, that His
PR ussz An MAJESTY had expressed his wishes to the
French Government, that Hanover should not be in-
vaded ; hut other Letters of the same date, and from
•
the some plaCe, state, that the Court of Berltn will not
interfere in any way in the dispute between England
and Frqnte. If the French Army, however, had
continued to advance, we certSinly should have
received some accountof their progreSs.
The jemappe, which arrived lately at L'Orient
from ilfaefinico, is said to have fallen in. with an
English Squadron cruizing off, L'Oricnr, and to
have passed within pistol shot of one of the Ships:
this must he either a mistake or a fa4sehood ; for
if the derma//e had been so near to an English Ship
of War, we are strongly inclined to think that she
would not now have been in a French Port.
It is stated in Letters from Brussels, that the
'First Consul is expelled in that City on rite r+th
inst.; but he must be atpresent so fully employed,
that it is not unlikely his excursion will again be.
postponed,.

LUCIEN Bcixiir ARTE lus gone to Spain,
The French Funds are 48. 7s.

It will be seen, by our Report .of the Parliamen.
tary Proceedings of yesterday, that the SECRET/111y
at WAR stated that many of the offers made to Go.
vermnent, for the purpose of forming Volunteer
Corps were not likely to he accepted, nor was it
the intention of Government to carry the System of
Volunteer Corps to the extent to 'which it existed
the last War. We are ignorant of the Plan which
Ministers may have in contemplation for the De.
:fence of the Country, but we confess we do not see
the policy of repressing the Martial Spirit of the
People at a Crisis like the present, by refusing those
loyal and patriotic offers which many have already
made, and many more would dotibtless have made,
for embodying themselves in that way which is
most congenial to their feelings, and most consonant
with their habits and occupations. A general
plan of defence including ail, would doubtless be ad.
visable, but we cannot but think that an extensive
Voluntee.; system might with propriety be made
a part of that plan.. We are convinced that a large
portion of tlie people would be much better satisfied
if allowed:to form themselves into Corps in their
respeaive distrias, commanded by Officers of their
owochOiee, in the same manner as during the last
War, thati by any general system imposed upon them
by GovernMent, to the exclusion in a great measure
of such Corps ; and whatever objeilion there may
be,. made to distina and independent Corps, thus
formed, •we cannot conceive that there would he
any great difficulty in brigading them, for the pur.
pose of their acing together with a proper efrat,
in case of emergency. Volunteers are ,always ber.
ter than pressed men, and.though we have no doubt
that every Englishman will stand forward in what.
ever way he may be called upon, and be ready to
shed the last drop of his blood in the defence of his
Country againit any attack which the haughty and
ambitious 'Tyrant of France may dare to make upon'
it, yet we think that there is something to he gained
by that superiot degree of
.cordiality with which
men would a4l who had been allowed to form them.
selves into Corps according to their own opinion,
their wishes and their feelings.

TO THE KING's MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
Tut Humble Address ofthe Lotto MAYOR, Aldermen,
and Commons of the City of London, in Common
Council assembled.
" May it please Your Majesty,

it We Your Majesty's most Dutiful and Loyal Subjeas,
the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons of the City of
London, in Common Council assembled, beg leave to ap.
F roach the Throne at this important Crisis, with onr renew-
ed Sentiments of Fidelity and Allegiance to Your Majesty's
Person, Crown, and Government.

_ ....
" We are fully persuaded of the necessity for the Decisive
and Dignified Measures adopted by Your Majesty by the
of Your Majesty's Ambassador from France, and the
vigorous posture of Defence of the United Kingdom to repel
the Designs'orthat Government, whose inordinate and in-
satiable Views of restless Ambition, are manifestly direCted
to overthrow the Glorions Constitution of these Realms,
and give a mortal Stab to our existence as a Free and lode-
pendent Nation. The Justice of Your Majesty's Cause and
the Moderation of your Claims, must be !felt and acknow-
ledged by every surrounding Power and we are convinced
that the Brave and Happy People of this Laud, conscious of
the purity of their Freedom, and the inestimable Privileges
they enjoy under Your Majesty's Mild and Paternal Rule,
will, with one fllind and Heart, resolve to defend and main-
tain them. Your Majesty's Faithful Citizens of London
feel .a grateful Pride In this Assurance of Kindred Loyalty
throughout Your Majesty's Dominions, and are deeply sexist-
ble of the eminent distinelion they are invested with by this
opportunity of testifying their Fidelity and Attachment to
their lieloved Sovereign.
" l t is our earnest prayer that every blessing may attend
and prosper Your Majesty's Zeal and Exertions forthe Wel-
fare of your People, and should substantial Peace not be at-
tainable but by the decision of the Sword, may the Calamities
of a War not to be averted be lost in.the Success and Glory of
its Achievements.

Your Majesty's Faithful Citizens cannot, however, re-
frain from ex pressing.their satisfatlion at the disposition ma-
nifested by. Ypur Majestyt ofavailing yourself of any favour-
able circumstance of terminating the subsisting Dit&rences,
whenever it can be clone consistently with the Honour and
Dignity of Your Majesty's Crown, and the Security and
Welfare of the British Empire.
" (Signed) by Orderof Court,
" HENRY WOODTHORPE."
sirs MAJESTY received tliem,very graciously, and
