OD Saturday, about nc ,:clock, the grand pro.
teiLun moved from Guildhall to Blackfriars Bridge.
The Jay b.inr tine, the fpc'tacle appeared to great
advantage ; tiril, the Street•lteepers and Conliables
cleared the ult.; ; next, the Mullah and Marlhals9-
men, two and two, •hen the Lord Mayor's men, two
ihd two, richly drered in green, and filver Lice, very
1,, ; daterw.o.tb the hate coach, with the new
.1... RD MAYOR, then the old LORD MAYOR in his pri-
vate cariiace, Sir Charles rtice, Sir William
Leighton, Alderman Flower, Alderman Prinfep,
:\ 1-t man Rowcrott, Alderman Boydell, Sir
I\l ttthew Bloxharn, the Recorder, the Sheriffs, and
she other City OtEcers, &c. &c. About two o'clock,
t ev entered the City Barges, at Blackfriars Bridge,
nioceeded up the Riker with the ufual forma-
_

lities.
411 the arrival of the Companies in their refpeaive
barges, at Old Palace Yard, the ProcefUon landed,
and proceeded to Wellmintler Hall in the ufual Hate.
They then went up to the Court of Exchequer, which
was crowded with fpeitators, and the Recorder pre-
feared the Loan Maroa Elea to the Barons ; he ob
ferved, the chataaer of Mr. Shaw Rood high in the
ellimation of the Citizens, his loyalty had hitherto
proved,' that he had a fincere regard for our Coati•
tution, which, under the peculiar bleffings of Pao-
'Aspics, had become the admiration of the world.
From his commercial purfuits, he was alto confider-
ad a fit perfon to protea the privileges of the Citi•
%ens, by whom he had been eleaed to fill the office
of Chief Magylvate. The Recorder then adverted
to the meritorious condo& of the late Loan Marna,
chile in the Civic Chair, and concluded with Were-
ing, that the venerable Magiflrate had retired from
his office with the approbation of his own cottfeltore;
and the applaufe of his fellow citizens. , • ,
The Lord Chief Baron Paid, he addreffed ((peak;
ing to the new LORD MAYOR) a Man well known for
his attachment to the Conftitution, and one *ha*
with it was to fUpport thofe laws on which our hap-
pinefs depended.- The office of Chief Magifirate -of
the City was.oneof confiderable importance, and he
would deliver a few obfervations on the Mica,
which then occurred to him. Exultaggip was sever
exalted to fo high a pitch as at prefent; our late vic-
tory was a glorious one, and the name and memory
of Lord Nsesow would be for ever engraved on the
memory of the country. We had formerly two ens
• • mica to contend with, an, internal, and an external
ane ; the former enemies were the moll dangerous,
• as their machinations were oaten, and the principles
of the government were privately undermined.—
Thirteen yeats fence, he had an opportunity, from
Ms public fituation, to be acquainted with the Rate
of the country, and he was fenfible, at that period,
additional fecurity was afforded to the Conaitution,'
by the worthy Civic Magifirate, Sir James Sander-
fon. Others had fince fucceeded, whole efforts had
been zealoufly exerted for the public good ; and he
trailed his Lordfltip would be added to the valuable.
H. He concluded by obferving, that the confiitu-1
tional efforts of the Magiffracy, aided by the co-ope
ration of the Volunteers is arms, had effeaually fob.'
clued the internal enemy • and, he trufied, that the
late William vittiory would excite that fpiri of emu.
lad. among the defenders of the country, which
,ould enable us equally to vanquilh the external
enemy. He then complimented the late LORD MAYOR
the petit& (late of tranquillity, in which he re.
.igned the gnardianfhip of the city to his worthy
tucceffor, and, after the ofual formality, the civil
igiflrates retired.
The LORD Mayo' and City Officers having re-
tired, die), returned, in their barges to Blackfriars-
Bridge, got into their carriages, and, at the coiner of
