AND ALbSitXtic OP TUE env Or icemort.
"4. if' TO THE KING'S MOST EKCELLENT MAJESTY. •
•• " MOST GRACISIUS SOTCRE/Olt, •
al We, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the
Lord dr.yor, and Aldermen of the City, of London, approach
your Royal Presenie with- renewed issurances of our most in-
violate attachment to your sacred Person and Government.
" Impressed as we are with veneration for your Majesty's
Crown and Dignity, we view with horror and detestation the
unprincipled efforts of the disaffected in every direction, which
infatuated malice can devise, and a licentious Press promote, to
withdraw the unwary and timid from their allegiance to their
'Sovereign; and, in the result, to overwhelm this free and happy
land with anarchy and confusion.
" For this base purpose, calumnies of the Most mlschielidus
tendency have been circulated against all the Constituted Autho-
rities of the realm, with restless and unabating rancour: the
Parliament, the Courts of Judicature, the Alta, and the Throne,
as established by our envied and glorious Constitution, have be-
come the objects of the most profligate abuse and insulting derision.
" We feel. Sire, that in order to avert the devastation threat-
ened by such a torrent of impiety and sedition, it becomes the
bounden duty of all the liege subjects of the realm, to stand for-
ward without delay, and avow their determination to support
the principles of the British Constitution in the true spirit of
British loyalty ; to rally round the Throne, and guard the Reli-
gion and Laws. of the Country from outrage and insult.
" The Lord Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London are,
therefore, most anxious, Sire, to testify to the Country at large,
in this evil hour, their resolution to defend the Monarchy, as
well as the other branches of the Constitution, against the at-
tempts openly and industriously .made by the instigators and
abettors of sedition and infidelity ; and, to their utmost, endea-
vour in their respective stations, as Magistrates, under the sanc-
tion of the laws, to transmit to their children's children the
blessings they have derived from the wisdom and bravery of
their ancestors, and which they enjoy under your Majesty's pa-
ternal sway.—We beg to add our most fervent prayers to the
.
isLaIOGYTY Marone, of all EYINTS, that your Majesty's reign
may be loog, prosperous, and happy in the affections of a faith-
ful. grateful, and loyal People.
(Signed by order of the Court). "H. WOODTHORPE."
To this Address his MAJESTY was pleased w re-
turn the following most gracious Answer :
" I return you my warmest thanks for this loyal and dutiful
Address.
" It is peculiarly gratifying to me to receive at this time
melt an assuratwo of your unshaken attachment to my Person
and_.{ overnment...and of the feelings with which you regard the
Attempts so unceasingly made to extirpate all that has hitherto
been held ratted amongst us, and to destroy all the sources of
British freedom, prosperity, and power.
" A spirit similar to that by which you are actuated happily
predominates thrAughout the kingdom; and I well I.row the
implicit confidence which is due to the virtue and loyalty of the
greet body of the nation, who are manifesting their just sense
of the blessings they enjoy, by the most decisive proofs of their
undoes determination to defend ind preserve them.
" You may rely on my constant support in thedischarge of the
.duties which arlse'oat of the present extraordinary conjuncture.
" We are engaged in a common cause, and I feel most deeply,
that the honour of my Crown, and the happiness of my reign,
ate inseparably interwoven with the maintenance of our estab-
lished Constitution, and with the true interests and welfare of
my People."
