THIS day the following Address from the City of Dublin, was presented to His Majesty on the Throne, by the following Gentlemen as a Deputation from that City, the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, the High Sheriff, the City Representatives, Alderman Shaw and Mr. Ellis; Aldermen Darley, Archer, Cash, Bloxham, James, Abbott and Nugent; Sheriffs Peers, Messrs. Fox, Dixon and Archer; Members of the Common Council, Messrs. Twycross, Foster and Hone; from the Guild of Merchants, Sir Francis Hassard, and Messrs. G. Nugent and Isaac Willis; attended by numerous Freemen of the City:

To the KING's Most Excellent Majesty.

May it please your Majesty,

WE, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, Commons and Citizens of the City of Dublin, feel ourselves called upon at this momentous crisis to approach your Majesty's Throne, with the renewed homage of our most affectionate and devoted attachment to your Majesty's Person and Government.

Permit us to assure your Majesty that we have observed with indignation and horror the efforts which have recently been made, upon the basest nd most unworthy pretences, to alienate the affec

tions of your Majesty's faithful people; for the accomplishment of that atrocious purpose, we have been afflicted to see infidelity called in aid of disaffection, and doctrines audaciously promulgated through their united influence, which if they could be successful in their object would extinguish our best hopes of happiness, both as Christians and as subjects, and overwhelm in one common ruin our religion, our liberties and our laws.

But it is impossible that a thinking, a moral and a grateful people, can be the dupes of such desperate artifices; the machinations of the wicked may create a partial and a momentary delusion, but the voice of truth and reason will assuredly be heard, and must prevail; enjoying under your Majesty's paternal protection the most perfect system of Government, which the world has yet beheld, we should be strangely lost to all recollection of its blessings, if we did not resolve (as we firmly do), to uphold it against the infidel and the traitor, with all the energies of our nature, and at the utmost peril of our lives.

Such, Sire, are the sincere sentiments of your Majesty's loyal and devoted Corporation of Dublin, sentiments, which we are confident we entertain in commou with the reflecting and the good, in all the classes of your Majesty's subjects, through every part of the united kingdom.

That through the bounteous dispensation of Providence, your Majesty may enjoy a lengthened and a prosperous reign, experiencing in the tranquility of your realms and the happiness of your people, those delightful feelings which such contemplations must excite, and which we know to be the most grateful to your Majesty's heart, is the fervent prayer of your Majesty's unalterably attached and faithful subjects, the Lord Mayor, 1821.

She

Sheriffs, Commons and Citizens of the City of Dubkn.

In testimony whereof the common seal of said City, is hereunto affixed..

Abraham Bradley King, Lord Mayor. George Whiteford and Nicholas William Brady, Sheriffs.

To which Address His Majesty was pleased to return the following most gracious answer:

It is peculiary gratifying to me thus to receive from you such a testimony of your affectionate and unshaken attachment to my Person and Govern

I have the most entire confidence in that spirit of genuine loyalty, which animates the great body of my subjects in Ireland, and I am perfectly convinced that there is no part of the United Kingdom, in which that spirit is more predominant, than in my faithful City of Dublin.

"When the Crown is insulted or endangered, I well know that you will ever be forward to defend it, fully conscious that the legitimate prerogatives of the Sovereign, are inseparably united with the liberties of the people, and that they must stand or fall together.

"It will be the unceasing endeavour of my life, so to administer the sacred trust of which I have the charge, as to fulfil the great and important purposes for which it is held, and I have the firmest reliance on your cordial co-operation and zealous support, in those exertions which may be necessary to frustrate the designs and efforts of infidelity, sedition and treason, and to maintain the British empire, in the high station which it possesses amongst the nations of the world.

My loyal City of Dublin, may be assured of

my

my constant favour and protection, and of the ardent solicitude which I shall ever feel for its wel fare and prosperity."

The Deputation was most graciously received, and had the honour to kiss His Majesty's hand.

Carlton-House, January 27, 1821.

THIS day the following Address was presented to His Majesty on the Throne by the Lord Bishop of London, attended by the Dean of St. Paul's; the Archdeacons of the Diocese; the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Wellesley, Canon of St. Paul's; the President of Sion College; the Deans of Canterbury and Carlisle; and about One Hundred other Clergy of the Cities of London and Westminster,

WE, your Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Bishop of London, the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's, and the Clergy of the Cities of London and Westminster, most humbly desire permission to lay at your Majesty's feet the expres sion of our devoted attachment to your Majesty's Person, and to the Constitution of this kingdom, in Church and State.

We have long observed with anxiety the progressive dissemination of opinions, which tend to create a restless desire of change, and - to· disturb the foundations of civil society, by the introduction of principles, which, when brought to the test of experience, have always been found incompatible with order, with peace and with liberty, with the prosperity of political communities and the welfare of private life. Our apprehensions are now unhap-.
