Several, addressed to persons at Plymouth, give a
most heart-rending picture of the wtetclitcl state of
our unfortunate captive fellow-countryman. Disease
and mortality are making great havoc among them,
not on account of any additional rigour in their treat-
ment, but owing to their long confinement. Many of
them had, from time to time, obtained their liberty,
by marrying French women, and others by engaging
to work in the enemy's arsenals and manufactories ;
but in either case they are compelled to sign an en.
gagemen. not to quit the French territory.

The Sheriffs announced that the choice of the

and Merchant Tail ,r, and on Matthew Wood, Esq.
Alderman and. Fishmonger.
These two names being reported to the Court of
Aldermen, the Recorder, ow their return into the
Hall, announced that the Court of Aldermen had
unanimously elected Alderman Hunter Lord Mayor
for the year easoing.
Being invested with the Insignia of office, the LORD
MAYOR ELECT addressed the Livery as follows :
" GENTLEMEN OF THE LIVERY—When I had the
honour to address you about this time two years, on
my then receiving your unanimous vote of thanks
and approbation in this hall, for my services as She-
riff of this City and county of Middlesex, I then told
you that you had created the liveliest interest in me
to study the rights and privileges of my fellow citi-
zens, that I might be able if I were at a future pe-
riod called to a higher post than that which I had
quitted, to render myself efficient for the arduous
task that might devolve on me. Tn the exercise of
the highesik cl;lties that you have to perform it has
been your pleasure to return me as one of those to be
selected by the Court of Aldermen to fill the office of
Chief Magistrate of this great city for the year en-
suing ; an office which carries with it so many other
duties of Importance, that if at once places on my
shoulders a load that lam hardly able to bear. To
say that I thank you for thus having overweighed me
with care, is It say more than the subject will war-
rant ; but believe me, Gentlemen, there is not in the
whole Ci y t f Londcn a man who possesses more gra-
titude clan I do for the good opinion that you, my
fellow citizens, have thus shewn to me. It so hap-
pens that I enter upon this high office at an age when
the mind and body is at its maturity, and as PRO-
VIDENCE has blessed me with a fair independent for-
tune, I am wholly out of the reach of 'influence
from interested motives, wholly unconnected with
any business that might distract my attention from
the thniei of the high office that I am about to fill,
and with a determination to use my best endeavours
to do my duty to the utmost of my abilities, I have no
doubt that I shall so conduct myself as to render my-
self not unworthy of the approbation of my fellow ci-
tizens and the public at large, for let it be remembered
that the eyes of all are on the City of London, a city
which is the pride and boast of the whole civilized
world, the metropolis of that happy country, which is
the only one that can boast of internal peace, and free
from the grasp of tyranny and oppression, When I
reflect of my being at the head of this city, and the
arduous duties that I have to do, I should despair of
performing them sufficiently well had I not the bright
example ui many who have gone before me ; taking
their conduct as i guide fora part of mine, and with
a determination of using the must unceasing zeal and
'watchfulness in the progress of my office, I take my
leave of you fcr the present with this further assur-
ance, that to maintain the honotir, the dignity, and
to protect the lights and-privileges of you, my fellow.
citizens, it they were Attacked, I would lay down my
live were it necessary."
alias:Ks •I'o THE LATE SHERIFFS.
Mr. (uta came forward, and after informing the
Livery that lie did not iatend to have troubled them'
en the present occasion, but that he did so, only in
consequence of the indisposition of a friend—moved'
the Thinks of the Common Hall to the late Sheriffs.
This motion, being seconded, was carried unani-
mously.
Sir Wiatas PLoaran, in returning thanks, expres-
sed his grateful acknowledgments for the honour paid
him, declaring that he esteemed it most flattering to
be thus distinguished, more particularly so, as the con-
duct which met their approbation was so recent as
that of last year ; and of which, therefore, the Livery
were so much better able to form a just appreciation.
This, he assured them, was a pi ()ILI day for him, and'
he should always esteem it one ul his titer fasti. He
tould not forbear from expressing to the Livery his
obligations for the colleague they had given him—a
man of well-known established worth and indtpen-
lence—of sound constitutional principles, and who
deservedly stood high in in the public estimation, and
in the regards of his fellow citizens.—(Loudit/uud;ts.)
Mr. Alderman GoODREHERE (who came forward
atnic4t a burst of applause) declared that he never felt
himself more at-a loss than at the, present moment,
having not only to express his acknowledgments for
the honour conferred upon him by the Livery, in
their vote of thanks, but also for the unexpected com-
- pliment paid him by his late worthy colleague. If
he ( Alderman Goodbehcre) were to endeavour to ex-
press his sentiments of the worthy Baronet, he was
aware he could not do so in terms equally descriptive
of his own feeling as those used by the Baronet to-
wards him. To these, therefore, he must refer. That
they had acted in union, in the strictest sense of the
inOrd, there was no doubt ;- but this was equally un-
doubted, that he (Alderman Goodbehere) had uni-
formly profited by the advice and superintending in-
Iluence of his worthy. colleague. To the Livery he
returned his most unfeigned thanks. He concluded
by congratulating the Livery. on the invaluable bles.-
sing they possessed in the Trial by Jury.
The Meeting was then adjonraed.
