" TO.THE KING'S MOST TabELLENT MAJESTY.

" The humble, dutiful, and loyal Address of the Loan
MAYOR, ALDERSIZN, and COMMONS of the City of
,London, in Common Council assembled.
" MOST GRACIOUS SOY/ILION,
" We your Majesty's loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Alder-
men, and Commons of the City of London, in Common Council
assembled, with -hearts full of dutiful afVztion to your Royal
Person, and inseparably attached to the honour and prosperity
Of your Government, Rumbly desire to approach your Throne,
and represent to your Majesty the sentiments of a free and faithful
people.
" While we contemplate with horior and indignation, the ono•
cious perfidy and wanton viollince . employed by the Ruler of
France to reduce under his yoke the Spanish Monarchy and the
Spanish People, we cannot refrain from expressing our joy and
exultation at the pure and animating spirit of patriotism displayed
by that high-minded and gallant nation in &fence of their deafest
tights and privileges. They have appealed to thg generous feelings
I of your Majesty for protection and support, and they have not
appealed in vain. You, Sire, havefelt as the Sovereign of a free
people, who, by extending his powerful aid to a nation struggling
for liberty ankindependence, holds forth to the world a happy
and practical illustration of the blessings which his own subjects
enjoy.

" The solemn declaration by which your Majesty has been
pleased to recognize the Spanish nation, as a natural friend and
ally against the common enemy of all established governments ;
the frank, disinterested, and inspiriting pledge which you hays
given, that you have no other object than that of preserving un-
impaired the integrity and independence of the Spanish Mo-
narchy ; the wisdom, liberality, and promptitude of the measures
consequently adopted by your Majesty's Government, have
excited in our breasts the most lively and grateful sensations.
" We have to entreat your Majesty's acceptance of our most
cordial thanks for the noble and liberal system of policy by which
your Councils have been, and continue to be, actuated towards
Spain ; and we beg leave co assure you, that, in contributing to the
success of your royal interposition in a cause at once so great and
glorious, and so peculiarly congenial to the spirit and feelings of
your people, no exertion shall be withheld, no sacrifice shall be
spared on our part, to prevent twelve millions of fellow-freemen
from being accursed with the most galling and profligate despotism
recorded in the history of the world.
" In the Measures which your Majesty may think proper to
adopt for accomplishing this great end, you may, Sire, rely with
the firfnest confidence upon the affectionate, zealous, and enthu-
siastic support of four loyal Citizens of London. We feel our-
selves identified with the Patriots of Spain ; we sympathize in all
their wants ; we participate in all their wishes; and we humbly
beg leave to express our fervent hope; that the glorious struggle in
which the Spanish nation is engaged, aided by the energies, re-
sources, and magnanimity of the British Empire, may succeed,
not only in asserting the independence of the Spanish Monarchy,
but in ultimately effecting, under the protection of Divine Provi-
dence, the emancipation of Europe, and the re-establishment of
the blessings of Peace."

To which Address his'MAJ.EsTy was pleased to re-
turn the following most gracious answer :

" I thank you for your very loyal and dutiful Address.• I ac-
cept with pletsure your congratulations on the prospect opened to
the world by the brave and loyal exertions of the Spanish nation
against the tyranny.and usurpation of France, and on the re-esta-
blishment of peace between Great Britain and Spain.
" In. aiding the efforts of the Spanish Nation, I have been
actuated by no other motive than that of affording the most ef-
fectual rpd disinterested assistance to a people struggling for the
maintenance of their ancient Government and national indepen-
dence.

" I have no doubt I shall continue to receive from you, and
from all classes of my people, the tame, zealous and affectionate
support which I have experienced on so many and on such hupor-
taut occasions."

They were all very graciously received, and had
the honcr:r to kiss his MAJESTY'S hand.

In consequence of the reduction of the troops in
the garrison of Cork by the late embarkation, the
duty has fallen so heavily, upon the Roscommon and
Wexford Militia Regiments, which remain in bar-
racks, that the Yeomanry Corps of that city have
very handsomely volunteered their services to take
the guards occasionally to lighten it. On Sunday
last the city duty was committed to the Yeomanry,
for that day only.
A Gentleman who has just arrived in town from
Warwickshire, states, that the Hatherttone Volun-

and send them off along with the other troops in any i
'expedition that may be destined for that object.
