ADDRESS.

At a period when attempts are industriously made to vilify
and degrade the Legislature by the most unfounded Calum-
nies, and when resistance to the authority of the House of
Connnons has endangered the peace of the metropolis, and
rendered necessary the interposition of military aid. The Un-
dersigned Liverymen of London, disapproving of time Reso-
lutions and Proceedings of the Common Hall, helthihis day
am: Guildhall, confidently appeal to their fellow-Citizens on
the necessity of publicly' recording their sentiments on the
occasion.
That they 'view with sorrow and indignation the insidious
efEarts which continue to he made to alienate the affeetionsof
the people from the Government; that they cannot remain
tranquil and passive spectators of these mischievous endea-
vours, which having tailed in traducing the character of the
Sovereign, are now directed to the production of contempt
and distrust of that important and essential part of the Legis-
lative Body, the House of Conimunse for the more certain
and eli;.Ctual introduction of that system of anarchy which
has destroyed the last vestige of cavil liberty on tint Conti-
nent of Europe.
That the conduti of these factious individuals is in dired
opposition to the principles Which they profess, and contrary
to those maxims which have contributed to promote the hap.
piness of mankind ; for though they .pretend to be iefluenced
by the genuine principles of liberty, yet they refuse to others
that freedom of sentiment and opinion ikkuch they exercise
themselves without restriction, limit or coot roul ; and
though violently clamorous for Reform, their recent conduct
affords a manifest proof that their real object is the subver-
sion of the Constitution ; and that they seek to accomplish
this destruCtive project by misleading the minds of the ig-
norant, and by inflaming the passions of the desperate.
That these inflammatory proceedings, dangerous at all
times, and peculiarly so at the present awful and very ardu-
ous crisis, and, unless actively resisted by the united etibrts
of those well-disposed and well-affeeted persons, of whatever
party, who admire the principles of the Revolution, which
nippily for the religious and civil liberties of Britons, red to
the establishment of the House of Brunswick on the Throne
of these Realms; and who revere the Constitution as then
confirmed, and as now existing by Law, may produce conse-
.quences fatal to ottr Freedom and Independence as a
turn; it being the invariable practice ofihe present Ruler of
France, to distract and divide the inhabitants of those Court.
tries which-he is desirous to conquer and to destroy.
That, utrer these circumstances, the undersigned Livery-
;nen exe.omt their Fellow-Citizens to bury in oblivion all
party feelines ; to rally round the Throne of their venerable
Monarch ; and to prove to the world that he has not any
subjects mon: loyal than his faithful Citizens of Lemke', or
more grateful for the paternal aniection with which he has
watched over the happiness aril welfare of his people.
That they rely with confidence on their Repre•ientatives in
rarliament,convincedehatnery retrenchment consistent with
the public safety and prosperity will be made ; and they trust
that the Members of both flous:s of Parliament will never he
deeerred by the intimidating influence of tire multitude-on the-
one hand, or by any unconstitutional interposition of the
Crown on the other, from the adoption of such moderate sfs-
tents of Reform as may be requisite, from the progress of time,
and as may be consistent with•the principles of the Consti-
tution, and the Laws of the Land.
That in reviewing the relative situation of this country
with dthers, the Livery of London hive much to rejoice at,
and little to regret; they wish the people to compare the bles-
sings when they now enjoy with those of former trerieds, or
with tin, e winch are now possessed by the inhabitants of
othe, countries ; and to examine whether civil and religious-
liberty, ti:e secure possession of property, the equal and im-
partial administration of justice, were ever enjoyed in great-
er purity than at the present time.,
Such being the happiness which, under •Divine Providence,
the: Citizens of London now possess, in common with the

refit ot his Nlaiesty's subjects, ibis appeal to their patriotism,
will not be made in vain—their good sense will point to
them the proptLty of concurring in this public expression of
the principles i.ind loyalty of such of the Livery as disapprove
and comiennn the proceedings of the Common Hail; and tin;
ecessity of a•:,,,,..in;;;„ tn.,privo..ally. their .. .
lion to support the Consultation or the (.:uuntry as by Law
established ; to maintain tr.impaired the Privileges of both
!louses Parliament; to resist all tactiwis attempts at in-
nuvation ; 10 place their tit:shaken coinidence tit ti:e virtues of
; Iti the wisdom of the Ltgishiture ; and the piqity
of the ivapcs (it tire Land ; awl to exert their best endeavours
to impre:s 0,. tile minds of all those who are connected with
them, a NY: ;ea:cc tor, and " obcdience" to the Laws,
and an tinattciable attachment ILI time true 1111crestS Of their
