To the King's mott excellent Majesty.
The humble Address of the Lord Mayor.
Aldermen, and Commons of the city of

M»ft GracWHs'Srvereign,
WE, your Majesty's loyal and dutiful
fuhjtfti, the lord mayor, aldermen, and
common* of the city of London, in common
i i/uncil aflVmhlcd, humbly present to your
Majcfty our sincere and heartfelt congratu
lations on your providential deliverance from
the lite wicked and atrocious attempt on
your Majesty's sacred person.
The more we reflcft on the incalculable
blessings we enjoy under yoUr Majesty's
aufpiciou* reign, and on the rieterated
proofs cf your majesty's unremitted solici
tude for the best interests of your fubjefts,
with the more hotror do we recoil from,
with' the more indignation aod aftonilh
meut do we contemplate the enormity of
this diabolical attack on a sovereign, whose

moll affeftionate and diffufive benevolence
to his people.
We renew to your most gracious Maje

HOUSE OF CFMMONS,
Mny 22.
The Speaker reported to the Houfc hit
Majefty'a answer to their addref» of yester
day.
" My Lords and Gentlemen,
" I receive with increased fatisfaftion
every frefli testimony of that invariable at
tachment of which yo«r conduit has afford
ed me so many proofs. The steady loyal
ty and affe&ion of my peop!e« animate all
my endeavor* for their welfare, and I am
confident that I can make no more accept
able return for that proteftion which has
been vouchfafed to me and my family, than
by persevering in my unremitting solicitude
for the happiness of those whose intereila
Providence has committed to my charge."
It will undoubtedly give real pleasure to
every one who wilhes well to the common
eaufe, toperufe the Subjoined account of a
fete given at Guernsey, by the officers of the
Ruffian troops, to celebrate the anniverlary
of hi* Imperial Majesty's Coronation. It
certainly tends very strongly t® confute ma
ny of the abftird mid malevolent reports
which have been industriously circulated with
refpeft to the conduit »f that army, and
their dispute with the inhabitants of the
ilhnds where they are quartered. It mud
be, of necessity, that foine not very pleaf.vnt
circumstances may have ai'ifen, from differ
ence of babits, manners and language. But
those circumstances have been much exrgT
rated, and have, in every cafe, been fatis
fa&orily ananged, by the prudence and ma
nagement of a gentleman employed by go
vernment, and whose long acquaintance with
Rulfia peculiarly qualified him for the situ
ation. Owing to his exertions, aided by
the constant support of the Government of
the i (lands., and the acquiescence of those who
had the diredlion of the Ruffian troops, it
may be-fairly said, that much less of unplea
santness has occurred than might have been
.expetted ; and that one illand (Jersey) has
been almost totally exempt from it.

DR. HAHN's
Anti-bilious Pills,
WHICH have been attended with a degree
of fuccels highly grateful to the inven
tor's feelings, in several parts of the Weft-In
d:9s,and the fo'uthern parts of the United States
particuiarly in Baltimore, Peteriburg, Rich,
mond, Norfolk, Edenton, Wilmington,Charlef
ton, Savannah. See. The testimony of a num
ber of perfoasin each of the above places can be
adduced, who have reason to believe that a
timely ufu of th's salutary remedy, has, under
Providence, prelerved their lives when in the
most alarming circumstances.
Fa£ls of this conclusive nature speak more in
favour of a'medicine, than columns of pompom
eulogy, founded on mere assertion, could do.
It is nf>t indeed presumptuously proposed as
an infallible curt, but the inventor has every
poflibie reason, which can refolt from exienfive
experience for believing that a dose of these pills,
taken once every two weeks during the preva
lence of our annual bilious fevers, will prove an
infallible preventative ; and further, that in the j
earlier stages of those difeafe9, their yfe will
very generally succeed in restoring health and
frequently in cases esteemed desperate aßd bey
ond the power of common remedies.
The operation of these pills is perfeflly mild
and may be used with falety by persons in every
situation and of every age.
They are excellently adapted ts carry off fu{
perfluous bile and prevent its morbid fecretioos ;
to rettore and amend the appetite ; to produce
a free perspiration and thereby prevent colds
which afe often of fatal conlequence. A dose
never fails to remove a cold if taken on its firft
appearance. They are celebrated for removing
habitual coftivenefs, sickness of the stomacH and
fevert head-ache, and ought to be taken by all
perfonJ on a change of climate.
They have been found remarkably efficacious
in prevtnting and curing most disorders attend
ant on long voyages, and fh.iuld be procured
and carefully ptcferved for use by every feamaii.
