Gentlemen, Clergy, Merchants, Manutturers, Tradesmen,

Sheffield, in the eounty,of York, beg leave, with due hu-

heartfelt. Congratulations On Your Majesty's late Providential
Escape, from one of the most horrid and atrocious Conspira-
cies' that has eyerappeared on the records of. human deprt...
vity.
Had not the fait h 'en incontestably established by the ver-
ilia of an English jury, it would have been extremely diffi-
cult to have reconciled the mind to a belief that the perpe-
tration of so foul a deed—a crime whiclvappali us with hor-
ror and dismay —could ptissibly 'lave been in the contciripla-
tion of any human Being; much less in that of any of Your
Majesty's SubjeCts..
At a time when objets of the greatest. National Import-
ance must necessarily occupy' Your. 'Royal Attention, it
would ill become us to presume to add more than humbly to
assure Your:Majesty, that we will earnestly °lig up our most
fervent Prayers to the Almighty, that He may be graciously
pleased to continue His superintending care, to protee:t and
guard your :toyar ticrso".l from every possible injury ; and
that Your Majesty's Reign 1113 y be protraded to a very remote
pen iod of tune, and may, henceforth, prove as Uninterrupt-
plly happy to the Monarch, as it has been uniformly prop-
tious to the SubjeCts, of the British Empire.
