ters, rostpcned the intended festivities.
This measure likewise gave great DIS
satisfaction. Those who wished for q
night Of rioting, were displeased, aud
those who innocentiy wished tn enjoy
the pageant, were disappointed. The
alarm was treated rs groundless by the
Wings. who toljethe Ministers that
they might hsvr elzeeiually peeveated

to the good will and aiiec lion Of his
people.
The presses on both slider, condemn
the new Lord Mayor, il not Tor his
timidity, at least for his indiscretion.
The fear is that the i'll advised post.
ponement will impsrt degree Of conf.
dence to the mob, as 10 their ow d
strength, which may prove Of serious
injury.
The notices which were posted up.
announcing the postpoueinent Of the
royal procession to Guildhall. were not
only received with dissppointment--
they produced much positive alarm. rs
will be seen by the annexed extract
from the Globe:
g The city was thrown into the
greatest CONSERVATION this morning by
the announcement that the Royal Pro.
cession 10 Guiidhali tomorrow had
been stopped. The walls were mt an
early hour posted with a notice from
the Lord Mayor to that effect. The
circular from the Home Secretary. TO
the same purport, was also perused
with the deepest attention. No soon-
CT had the citizens read these official
notices with Consideration, than &C
counts came that park of artillery
from WooIwich was in the Kent road,
a part destined for The Tower, the other
detachments marching tothe west end
Of the town; the part destined for the

In addition to all these formidable
preparations we have thousand ru-

upon London all the troops in the
metropolis were under. arms ia the
Park. liz was Immediately reported
that m extensive conspiracy against

home was &c possibIe) heightened by
the report of all immediate arma-
ment Tor Belgium. arising from a no
tice from the Navy-oilice for three
Transports to be ready forthwith TO pro
coed To Deptford; and this being
the usual conduct Of the Board,
even IL fifty were wanted, added to the
general confusion. The citizens hur-
ried from their usual avocations into
the streets and coffee houses to discu IS
this mass of news, and discover if there
we're adequate causes for the general
Consideration which was depicted in
the eager faces Of the tumultuous as
scmblies in the public thoroughfares.
They still continue, and appear in.
crcssing. In this general hubbub, of
course, the Stock Exchange openctPin
the greatest state Of excitement. Con-

Previous to the annou nccmert Of
pestponement, the Police had taken
strong measures 10 prevent the con
templated disturbance /; aud these pre- d.
cautionary measures, no doubt, gave
rise 10 part TO the popular panic. Among
other measures, four hundred Special
Censiablcs were sworn ; aud some
troops were put in motion but only
few small bodies.
