this city assembled under their Chief Magistrate-
(appause)-shoud not delay expressing their opinion,

under Lord Provost who is rather suspected of hav-
ing leaning against more be al opinions IA augh)
TO express under the sanction Of his high hOri
ty, our unqualified admiration of the heroic efforts
made in favor of liberty, and in the next place of that
signal moderation shown under the inoxication of
victory and the exci ement of blood of the retnrn
OF legitimate government securing all that is useful
and honorable In society the basis Of equal rights

monarch only the organ of that law.-Immense
