position. Is what he hail advanced respecting the
refesal to receive thy Petition of the Corporation
of the City of Landon, he set out by stating, that ,
it was an insult to the City ant Corporation, and
that :titillates% were highly culpable- for having ad.
said it. He coold not by any means see it in
seat a light. He bad ever spoken, and would al-
loys speak, of the City of Logsdon in terms of I
tyre highest tespert. 'lle thought aceith,

tin, it was impossible fur him to receive every Pe:,

tight the City of Loudon .had. to that particular
distinction more than York,' Bristol, and other,
cities in the kingdom. The Hon.• Ibrimet had

non. Baronet had sais: that the King, though sur.
minded with all his splendour, could not stop up

receive the Petition of Cie City of London

ugh road to petitioning. This was so extravagant
exaggeration, that it was only necessary

test that this country was its great danger. He
