London . . . A gentleman, who was in the presence chamber
last Monday, when the City Address and Remonstrance was
presented, has given the following account of the conduct of
the two principal actors in the Tragi-Comedy of the day.
When the City Council had read the paper, he gave it to the
Lord Mayor, who delivered it to the King with a half bent
knee, and the most profound reverence. His Majesty handed
the petition to a Lord in Waiting, and then deliberately
taking a paper from his pocket, read the answer. A silence
of two minutes ensued, when the Lord Mayor made a low bow,
then retreated backwards to the middle of the room, made a
second, and in like manner, a third at the door, when the
King moved his hat to the Magistrate, and thus ended the
business.
