London, May 13.  On Saturday a great body of sailors met in
St. Georges's fields, and went to St. James's, with colours
flying, drums beating, and fifes playing, and presented a
petition to his Majesty, setting forth the hardships they at
present labor under on account of the smallness of their
wages, and praying relief.
