permit. On the merning of that day the

Court- of Common-Council was held in 
the Guilohall in the City cf London, con- 
formably to previous notice having been 
given; when Mr. Waithman adcreffed 
the Court to the following eff:&: That 
as the late expedition to Hailand had been 
prepare ed and carried cn at an enormous 
xpence of eur and treafure, and that 
as the city of London bore a confiderable 
part of that expence, and as the citizens 
of London, among other of his Majelty’s 
oer loyal fubjeéts, had been led to fup- 
ofe, by what was held ferth to the Pub- 
lic by his Majelty’s Miniiters, that the 
above-mentioned Tee foo would be at- 
tended with the mot falutary effects, and 
to the honour of his Majefty’s arms; and 
that whereas on the contrary the moft dif- 
aftrous effets were the confequences of 
that unfortunate expedition ; it-was there- 
fore humbly moved, that an addrefs be 
piefented to his Majeily, praying that an 
pres might be pee for the pur- 
pole of difcovering the caule why the moft 
fanguine expectations of the Public were 
difa ppointed. 
This motion was ftrenuoufly oppofed 
by the majority of the Common-Council, 
and confidered by fome as an infult to his 
Majelty, and was therefore reje€ted.
