" We the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons
of the City of London, in Common, Council assem-
bled, beg leave to offer our most sine* compliments
of congratulation to your Majesty, on the very clip-
iinguithed ottasion of your auspicioqs arrival in these
happy realms, as the august, illustrious, and magna.,
nimous Ally f our revered and gracious Sovereign.
" We have viewed, with,thetprofoundest gratitude
to the Ai-mein-lc GIVER of ail, Victory, the raPut
itupeadous, and sublime succession cf events, which
have Lid us the deliverance of the afllictiO nations of
Europe from. the most galling oppression and unpre.'
' *eetrented tyrant" that ever visited the human race.
' . 66 By the harmonious and cordial co-operation ot'i
' the allied Severeigns in a catele of such lasting impor-
tance to the world, as the restoration of wholeina-
. tions to their independence and legitimate dynaines ;
by the consummate skill, prudence, intrepidity, wis-
i dom; and moderation of Commanders, unequalled
1 in any former age, fearless in their duty, and faithlid
to their charge ; by the. awakened energies of almost
! desolated countries, roused froM their destructive
slumbers, by the removal of gross delusion froM their
1 eyes ;by the determined regard to discipline, and
successful valour of armies, led on to the most bnl-
' liant exploits by their Princes in person, the spell is
1
at length broken which shad nearly subjugated the
human mind itself ; and the plague is stayed which
had drained the earth, and swept away whole gene-
i rations.
46 In the accompliihment of these happy and bene-
-1 ficial results to the world, we have contemplated in
the august person of your Imperial Majesty, a Mo-
'. narch followed by a brave and loyal People In arms,
to the redress of injuries the most wanton, unprovoked;
and barbarous, that baffled ambition could conceive,
1 ,n- profligate cruelty could perpetrate : a Hero, by
inflexible perseverance in his object, kraiersing whole,
' regions, and pursuing to the capital of Prance a dis.
c,aalited Tyrant, not fur purposes of retribution-snot
•in vindictive fury, to raze or to destroy--,.nor to sub=
due, but to deliver, a misguided People—to unbind
their chains--to bring peace to their hearts and pros-
perity to their homes i a Hero; to the astonishment
;hid amidst the acclamations of the vanquished, hold-
.
• out ill his victorious hand graces, favours, and
iltg and evincing, in the proudest hour of
inimunities ;
triumph, the confidence, magnanimity, and clemency
of a Christian conqueror.
66 Permit us, Sire, to express the very high sense
we entertain of the distinguished honour conferred
upon Britain by the visit of an Empertir,knotht
than
,hg more splendour from his exalted ran ,
preeminent virtues of his heart, comprising cemprising all that
is dignified, all that is mild, all that is great, good,

the world be repaid by what ',Mutt be 'thliireaiest
