His Majesty had appointed • yesterday for re-
ceiving the Addresses of the Corporation of the
City of London, on the sterilise ot the late King
and his own accession to the Throne; but, on
account of his not having quite recovered his
strength, he requested that only a deputation of
the Corporation might attend • him, which, ot
Bourse, prevented the assembly from being so nu-
merous as it otherwise would have been. A few
minutes before three o'clock the procession had
arrived at the Palace, in the following order :
Four Marshal's men on foot, in their uniform ; six of the
Lord Mayor's Footmen, in deep mourning, and on foot; the
two City Marshals, in their splendid dresses, on horseback;
the Cap of , Maintenance arid the Sword of State, both of
which were lowered on their entrance into the Palace;
the Lord Mayor, in his splendid robes; the Gentle-
m of his Lordship's Household; the Aldermen, Sir
William Curtis, Sir Charles Flower, Sir Claudius Hunter,
Scholey, Birch, Wood, Magnay, Heygate, Cox. Waith-
man, and Rothwell ; Sir John Silvester, the Recorder of
London; Newman Knosvlys, Esq. the Common Serjeant; the
Sheriffs Rothwell and Parkins ; the Under Sheriffs Turner
and Pullen ; George Norton, Esq. the Common Pleader ;
Thomas Tyrrel, Esq. the Remembrancer ; the Town Clerk;
the Flall Keeper, &c. with Mr. Dixon and Mr. Brown (the
Gentlemen of the Court of Common Council who moved and
seconded the Address), also Mr, Deputy Greenaway, Mr.
Robert Elliot, Mr. Eyton, &c. They were conducted into his
Majesty's presence by Mr. Mash, the Gentleman Usher in
Waiting, the Lord Chamberlain, and Marquess otHeadfort,
as the Lord in Waiting.
The Addresses were then read by the Recorder
as follows :
" Most Gracious Sovereign,
" Your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjeCts the Lord Mayor
and Aldermen of the City of London, approach your Royal
Person, to congratulate your Majesty upon your happy 4.c-
-cession to the Imperial Crown of this United Kingdom, and
to offer our Condolence on the affecting less which your Ma-
jesty and the Nation have sustained in the demise of your
Royal Father, our late most Gracious Sovereign, an event
which cannot fail to pierce with the most affectionate regret
the'heart of every subject to the remotest corner of the Em-
pire.

" Occupying the exalted Throne of these realms for a
period unprecedented in the annals of Britain, your vene-
rable Sire held his paternal nod gentle sway over the affec-
tions of his people, and long will tributary gratitude of this
nation record, that during the eventful and glorious conrse
of his late Majesty's reign, wherein it pleased Almighty God
in his inscrutable Providence to visit him with various public
'and private afflictions, lie manifested on all occasions the
most tender regard for his native country, and the most
scrupulous affection for her glorious Constitution, both in
Church and State. He maintained the honour of his Crown
and the safety and independence of his People in seasons of
unparalleled difficulty, with magnanimity, firmness, and dig-
nity. His pre-eminent example in the strict attention he
paid to his religious duties, in his pious subniission to the
Divine will, in his faithful discharge of etery moral obliga-
tion, beamed front his lofty sphere with powerful and atirac-
tire lustre, and while it was a blessing to the country over
which he reigned, fitted and prepared hint for the exchange
he has now made of an earthly for an heavenly crown. • " In thus deploring the loss of the venerable father of his
people, your Majesty's dutiful and faithful subjects have hut.
imperfectly given utterance to the feelings of sympal hy. which
agitate their hearts on this mournful occasion ; and they par-
ticipate most deeply the sorrow of your Majesty on the accu-
mulated occasions of grief which have in so short a space of
time visited your Royal House.
" The consolition which your faithful citizens of London
experience in common with their fellow-subjects is derived
front the good providence of God, in placing. the sceptre in
the hands of a Prince, by whose wise and able Government
(as the representative of our lamented Sovereign during his
long and distressing illness), we have witnessed' the glory of
the arms of this country raised to its highest pitch: an
honourable peace secured, after the severs struggles of nyarly
a quarter of a century, to maintain its independence, its
Constitution, and its Religion. It is 'therefore with the sin-
