Violent hissing followed this declaration.
Mososr.—Towards the middle of the day, Mr. Gest-
ys , electors had collected in great numbers about the
4,;,.elsonis, and were expressing their anxious hopes of
tse probable result of the poll, when the horse police,
who we„ drawn up in front of Mr. Ellis's tallv-roones,
snacked them—they struck the people with their swords,
joi eae man was knocked down, and his head cut open ;
several others received many wounds and injuries.—Mr.
Grattan s carriage standing opposite the hustings, a
friend of his, Mr. Williams, the 3laster of a most re-
spectable Corporation, ascended the carriage, and ad-
dressed the people and the electors, protesting against
the illegai and outrageous conduct of the police, and
tam* upon the people to be firm and decided, bnt, at
the same tone, to be moderate in their proceedings.
While be was standing on Mr. tirattan's carriage, the
sberils came to the olbcer commanding time military
otNeirgate, that were standing with fixed bayonets
rotime street, and pointing at Mr. Williams, who was in
the carriage, commanded the officer to make him pri-
soner. Immediately the military charged, surrounded
Mr. Orattan's carriage; the horse imolice charged with
their drawn swords, and Mr. Williams, together with
another elector, were dragged out of the carnage, beaten
by the paticomest and the military with their muskets,

According to Mr.ttrattun's Books the majority is only
181, sod we are assured that he has a great number of
voters in reserve, whilst his opponent is already nearly
exhausted.

Grattan is the leading candidate this day, but such is
the seclusion, that it is impossible to ascertain the state

TRIDA EVIIIIING, JUNE 30, 1820.
-..1...-.

Among the many reasons which the public have to
deplore those measures of the Ministers which cum-
polled the Wass to vindicate her character and
rights, is the suspension of all other concerns than
those that relate to those deeply-important agitating
questions. At no period did the internal state of
the country more require the undivided attention
of Parliament At no period were subjects more
interesting to the welfare of the people proposed to
lure been brought into discussion. At no period was
it sore requisite to have devised some immediate
ssei-
ares for the national relief. Yet, after the most is-
westing season has been engrossed by the topics with
which the crooked policy of Government have bees

Is the feelings of the people, and the sense sad spirit of
tile nation are roused to a degree which is not likely loos
to subside. With the greatest gratification we gave
,place, the other day, to the Manly and spirited Address
of the Citizens of York, to her persecuted Mariam
mid with Maid pleasure we present, to-day, another
of the same eharaeter, and distinguished at the same
time by extensive aid seasonable political views, from
the inhabitantsof Nottingham. With the highest hopes
we hail the Meeting of the Common Hall of the Citizens
of London, the commencement of whose proceedings
Miley will he found in another of our columns: sod
with so apprehension that they will be inferior in Judi-
noea or animated sentiment do we wait for the row
!aliens of the inhabitants of Southwark. That the
ishabitant householders of Westminster should be mill
Mused the privilege of assembling together, to ex-
press their sentiments on the subject that engrosses
the attention of the nation, is a mortification to which
their well known spirit has exposed them, but which
can eventually afford but a paltry triumph to the little
-Math that could suggest it. When other Chief Ma-

giatrates, entrusted by the laws and charters of the
land with equally discretionary power to that with
which the High Bailiff of Westminster is invested,
feel it not derogator► from their character or office to
acquiesce in the wishes of their fellow citizens, even
when those wishes are not accordant to their minds,
how can the /bon BAILIFF of Westminster undertake
to justify the denial in which be has so long persisted?
Is he either higher or is he lower than the Magistrates
who have set him an example ? Is he an Officer, who
determines from the dictates of an independent mind,
or from the mandates of a Minister of the Crown ?
Since writing the above we have learned that the
High Bailiff has, at length, consented to allow the
Meeting. He has this day appointed it to be held on
Tuesday next, at twel►e o'clock. This was the sixth
time of asking.

French Papers to the 2•Jth have arrived, but con.
tain nothing of importance. French Fund• have im-

CITY ADDRESS TO TIIE QUEEN.
A Common Hall was held this morning, for the pur-
pose of considering the propriety of addressing the
Queen on her return to England.
About one o'clock the Lord Mayor and Aldermen en-
tered the Hall.

The Hall was opened by the Crier in the usual man-
ner. At the end of the proclamation, the expression of
" God save the King" was loudly answered by the Li-
very with cries of " Clod save the Queen."
The Lone IA %Toe then came forward, and observed that
he had convened this Meeting In consequence of a Requisi-
tion, which be held in Ws band. He would only add, that he
hoped they would so conduct themselves as to preserve the
high character which they had already attained.
Mr. Olsson then cams forward to propose certain resolu-
tions. He observed, that if they had met on the present oe-
easion to consider any disputed question, lie would not have
presented himself to them. But he had no doubt that every
cue peewit would concur in these resolutions, and that there
would be no diaereses of oplulow upon a subject which se near-
ly interested them. He expected the unanimity of al! parties.
He appealed to those who prided themselves on their loyalty,
to those who were the first to cry out that religion was in
danger, and he called upon them to second a measure which
tended at once to promote the interests of the Throne and
the Altar. The Learned Member then proceeded to take a
review of the history of the Queen, from her first landing in
Kagiand to the present moment.

Having noticed to fearless intrepidit, with which she bsd
thrown herself upon the (*entry. he demanded whether the
Muss of London would desert her !—(No, no I)—Would
they now forsake her cane, or neglect to assert her into-
cense. when that step bad offered the fairest presumption in
fevoar of each.—(Cries of No. no ! and applause.)—We re-
gret that we cannot give at greeter length this eloquent and
forcible address.

Mr. Mawr Una proceeded to read the itesoletioali
area mambo-arm Ms right mosimod by tba Lord Mayor 46

r -
Their object was to recognize the rights of the Queen, and
to express the hopes of the Livery, that she would overcome
this, u she did her former persuades. The last Resolution
proposed, that a humble Address be resealed to the Queeo,
founded on these Resolution's.
Mr. WEATHIRIPOOK SeColll6lla the Resolutions.

Mr. WAITIIMAN was addressing the Livery, whim we canto
away, is his accustomed strain of eloquence.

We beard last night, in a quarter entitled to eri.dit,
that Parliament was expected to he prorogued the
latter end of next week. It is supposed that the Com-
mittee appointed by the House of Lords will make their
Report to the House on Monday next. Upon the na-
ture of that Report depend the ulterior proceedings.
If it favour the views of Ministers, a Bill will most
probably be introduced, and its consideration post-
poned till next Session. The next Session, we are in-
formed, will be held in September.
The circumstance of Sir R. Ferguson going down
to the House of Commons last night, and postponing
till Thursday his intended motion relative to the
Milan Commission, in consequence, as he said, of
what be bad heard since he gave notice of his inten-
tion, has given rise to a suspicion that some other
compromise or negotiation may hare been proposed to
adjust the existing differences. This notion, however,
does not correspond with what we know of the pro-
ceedings of the Committee; and yet it might not be
legitimate to infer that it is groundless, merely be-
cause it is inconsistent.

After the debate i■ the House of Lords on Tuesday
night, and during the exclusion of strangers in refer-
ence to the division, it is understood that the Mar-
quis of Lansdows and Lord Erskine signified their
wish to decline serving on the Committee appointed to
investigate the charges preferred against the Queen ;
and that their resignation having been accepted by the
House, the Earl of Hardwicke and Lord Ellenborougla
were appointed to serve in their stead.
Tea Dt cages or Youu.—At a late hour last night
we received the following Bulletin of the state of the
amiable Dukes of York

THE QUEEN.
LOYAL ADDRESS TO HER MAJESTY. QUEEN OF
OF THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Hail literal Star of firunswiek's Hue,
All hail ! illustHots Caroline:
Thy wrongs a loyal people feel,
And will their sentiments reveal ;
For with united voices all declare,
That Briton's Queen Is innocent as fair.
Tho' Spies, the Partner of the Throne
Surround, to make her foibles known,
Tho' base accusers dare defame,
And blot with infamy her name;
Unsullied shall her Honour rise to view,
And blast the hopes of the malignant few.
Indignant rise mach injured fair,
Thy foes are verging on despair.
Their minions tremble, now they view
The virtues all combined in you.
Majestic la deportment—firs, yet free,
The friend of Virtue and of Liberty.
Shall each a cinema be then ■bused—
Her person threatened—name tradueed
And shall protected be the tribe,
inw dared t• oar her a bribe ?
Forbid it Heaven! for sacred are thy laws ;
Justice is thine, and thoult avenge her cause.
