with different feelings, from many of his predecessors.

"Crappies lie Dorris" for such speeches as those of

said his Lordship, are the reasons. by which, al-1
lboegh the toast was upon my list, I was prevented
from giving it; and certainly
.1 should not, in any
teem, have proposed it without such accompanying
observations as would hale divested it of all party
, character, end hive rendered it inrspable of giving
• offence to any indivirlusi in this room, or, indeed,
to any portion of my Fellow-coontrymeo. I trust,
continued the Lord Mayor, that it is not necessary
for me, at this time, to make any declaration of.my
principles. Every man who knows me, knows that
I am firmly snatched to the King, the Constitution,
the Government, and Laws of this country, and
' that I yield to no one in devotion to the Protestant

sons who think that that Iloly Religion, which I

' oppressing, or insulting my Catholic Countrymen.—
• I have been chosen to fill a high and honourable
office, and it shall be my unceasing study to dis.
charge its duties efficiently. To fulfil them honestly,
is, at all events, in my power ; and I am resolved
that every act of mina shall be regulated by the strict.

This explanation was deemed perfectly satisfacto.

bation.
• Alderman ARcilta disclaimed all intention of dic-
tating to the Lord Mayor, or of offending any per-
' son, and sought to justify his demand of the toast
upon the ground of precedent, and the suggestion of
persons who sat near him.
The LORD MAYOR observed, that, as he was wil-
ling to believe the conduct of which lie had rum-
. plained was but the result of mistaken seal, he wished
to bury it in oblivion, and would therefore propose
toast, which he trusted would restore perfect cor.
diality and good humour. Ile then gate—

Her MAJESTY did not sleep so well on Monday
night as she has done latterly, and in consequence
Sir lonmscis MILMAN did not retire Irons the anti-
clamber till nearly three in the mousing, at which
time her MAJESTY was mock more at ease.

Towards noon, all the symptoms of her complaint
spill came on, as they do almost invariably et the

about noon, and at five o'clock to partake slightly of

At two o'clock, Sir HENRY NALTORD returned
from attendance on the Princess Smits, at Windsor
Castle, and found his colleague, Sir FRANCIS MIlr•
