After the arrival of the Procession, the Crimson
Drawing Room and the Anti-rooms were thrown
open, but were found not sufficiently large to
contain them (there being about 400, being one
of the largest assemblies of Members of the Uni-
versity ever collected to present an Address to
the Sovereian) • numbers were in consequence
sitewn into the King's Dining Room, and others
remained in the Grand Mail. On the KING be-
ing informed of the arrival of the Chancellor and
the Members of , the University, his Majesty
shortly after took his seat on the Throne, sur-
rounded by—

'The First Lord of the Treasury, the Secretaries of State for
the Home and Foreign Depattments' the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the Master General of the Ordnance, the Gteat
Officers of State, the Lord Steward of the Hotisehold, Lord
St.Hclen's, the Lord in Waiting, Sir Hilgrove Turner, Groom
in Waiting, the Master of the Horse, the Treasorer of the
Household, Gold Stick in waiting, Silver Stick in waiting, Sir
George Bolton, Eyler, y •in waiting, Page of Honour in wait
ing ;- the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen Pensioners forming
an avenue to the Throne. •

The Chancellor and the Members of the Uni-
versity were -then conducted by Mr. Mash, the
Gentleman Usher in waiting, into the Royal pre-
sence, through the suite of State-rooms ; as they
entered the entre room, they were joined by their
Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Cla-
rence, in their robes of Doctors of Law, the
Mike of York taking the right of the Chancel-
,lor, and the Duke of Clarence the left. The
Chancellor, on'approaching the Sovereign on the
Throne, made three obeisances, and then pro-
ceeded to read the Address, to which his Ma-
jesty was pleased to return an appropriate
answer.

The Chancellor and the. principal Members of
the University had the honour to kiss the King's
hand, and were most graciously received. His
Majesty then left the Throne, and passed
through the numerous throng of this highly diS-
tinguished and learned Body, they, making their
dutiful obeisances as he passed, and his Majesty
acknowledging them in the most affable manner.
Major-General Airey was presented to his Ma-
jesty by Lord Viscount Sidmouth, Secretary of
State for the Home Department, upon his being
appointed a Knight Commander of the Guelphic
Order, upon which occasion his Majesty was
graciously pleased to confer the' honour of
Knighthood upon him, and he is now Sir George.
His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which
his Grace the Duke of Wellington was sworn in
Lord Lieutenant of the County of Hampshire, in
the room of.the late Earl of Malmesbury.

His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Li-
verpool, Viscounts Sidmouth and Castlereagh.
The Court broke up about five o'clock. Soon
after the King left town in his travelling carriage
for Frogmore, on a visit to the Princess Augusta,
escorted by a party of Light Horse.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSIJM 4crD,4,, Q

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 18`2°:-

We have had no arrival of Paris Papers th°

morning. •
After what happened at Troppau, it is 11 pv
means surprising that the Court of Vienna sh°llll
wish that Lord STEWART may be succeeded ill
another British Ambassador, and it is Wall
probable that the spirited -Lord may desire t
be removed from a Court where he was provo.
to resent an insult to his KING and Country. 1%
certainly regret that the occurrence happaetiti;
yet none but mean and worthless minds ouiv,
expect that any , whatever his 011
may be, should have all his feelings as a IT°
totally subdued and suppressed by official dec°l
rum. We mentioned yesterday, that Mr. C.
NING, according to a prevailing rumour, was t
•
succeed Lord STEWART, and, by a "colog'°ll,
04
effect of hurry, we mentioned the Court
France, instead of Vienna.. A Morning paper
of this day states a report, that Mr. CANSI%,
had actually -resigned his situation on I'hurscisl
last, but we have not ascertained that the reP°
is founded on fact.

THE HULL PACKET.—The Editor of this 10,'"
Paper complains of the riotous behaviour of a s;
ditious mob, who have assailed his premises ail.,
burnt him in effigy. This outrageous conduct 15
the more shocking as the Sister of the'Editor `fay
in the most alarming state ,of. illness, and the t°'
mult was likely to precipitate her progress to
untimely grave. There is reason to believe till
these rebellious Rioters are encouraged an,
rewarded by some mischievous persons of propel
who covertly instigate the whole. proceedings
The miscreants have threatened the Editor With
farther outrages, and have announced their 01
tendon to burn him in effigy again. The et:
pence attending their former exhibition must a'
least have amounted to twenty pounds, which the
Rabble never could have mustered among theo
selves. "The effigy," says the Editor,"was dress;
ed in the extreme of the fashion, and the custLt
clothing was committed to the flames—an eviden
proof that it was not got up by in indigailt
mob."—;-Such is the 'treatment which loyal ..jottl:
nals in the Metropolis have SU iTer'ed, and of whic7
we should HO doubt have partaken, if to avoiti,
confusion, mischief, and perhaps more serioa;
consequences, we bad mit disgraced our windo4
by a sacrifice to a daring rabble. We hope that the
Magistrates 'of Hull will resolutely protect
Writer who has only offended by the spirit,
goer, and perseverance of his loyalty. 'We bore:
also, that the Magistracy throughout the Countl4
will be equally on the alert to repel the efforts °
those Mob-Reformers, who have notliing in vie'f
but the destruction of all regular Governments.

The 'kst Edinburg-Is Review contains the.fol#
lowing paragraph, in reference to this. Countrie
(page 33). •NA're marvel how the acute Editor °I.
that Journal could .admit a sentence at once $6:
true, and so completely answering his genet`
doctrines : •
" As to our mobs and riots, aglin, it is. obvious to vett-13'11

us that our account was true. As others,
