said, “that if she had so consented to compromise her honor, nothing should have induced him to vote a single shilling of the public money towards her support; and he should not hesitate to say the same thing to her majesty herself."

A numerous and respectable meeting of the electors of the borough of Southwark was held on the same day at the town hall, pursuant to a re quisition, sent to the high bailiff, for that purpose.

The high bailiff having stated the object of the meeting, Mr. S. Davis moved the following resolution:

"That a loyal address of condolence and congratulation, be presented to her majesty upon her arrival in England."

The resolution having been put, was carried unanimously, and after some very able arguments by Mr. Calvert, sir Robert Wilson, and other speakers, in censure of the proceedings instituted against her majesty, the meeting dispersed.

A short time after the meeting of the livery was over in the city, her majesty, accompanied by Mr. alderman Wood, visited Guildhall, and i was received at the door by Mr. Favell and several gentlemen of the common council, bear. ing wands.

One lady knelt down, and ejaculating a fervent prayer for her prosperity, the queen raised her, and spoke a few words of thanks to her, in a manner that showed she was greatly affected by the incident. Her majesty was received with loud cheers by all who had the honor to be admitted into the hall to see her pass, and her carriage was drawn by the populace, in spite of the most earnest remonstrances to the contrary.

On Saturday July 29th, Mr. Brougham presented an affectionate and loyal address from Preston, signed in a few hours by some thousands of the inhabitants, to which her majesty returned the following answer: & Lomatst be good people of Preston for For this mark of their re gard planwillha to const gil 13, tu92 yinlash 11My object in coming home has been the vindication of my ho nor; and I shall perform this sacred duty,, which I owe alike to the country and to myself, without making myself a party to the political divisions that at present exist.

of July, for receiving the addresses of the borough of Southwark and of the common-hall, considerable crowds began to collect in Portman-street and Oxford-street, at an early hour. The windows were crowded with well-dressed females, and rows of carriages lined the streets. A few minutes past one, the Southwark procession appeared, and was saluted with cheers by the multitude. Sir R. Wilson, in the uniform of a general officer, Mr. Calvert, and the high bailiff of Southwark, in their court dresses, with a number of gentlemen, electors of the borough, being presented to the queen, had the honor of kissing her majesty's hand. The following address was read to her majesty; to which she returned a most gracious verbal answer, and promised that her written answer should be immediately sent to the electors of Southwark; when the deputation retired, and was a second time greeted by the enthusiastic cheers of the people.

TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

The dutiful and loyal Address of the inhabitant Householders of the antient Town and Borough of Southwark, in Townhall ass sembled.

May it please your Majesty ng ade our Bular mo "We, his majesty's faithful subjects, the inhabitant house holders of the antient town and borough of Southwark, in town

hall assembled, beg leave to offer to your majesty our most sincere and fervent congratulations on your majesty's accession to your royal title, and on your majesty's safe return to the empire in which it has been ordained by Providence that your majesty should hold so exalted a station.

"In offering these congratulations to your majesty, it is incumbent upon us to add the expressions of our condolence on the loss your majesty has sustained by the death of our late gracious sovereign, your majesty's steadfast friend, king George the Third, and still more, on the irreparable loss your majesty has suffered by the death of your amiable and incomparable daughter, the princess Charlotte, on whom the hopes of the country were fixed, and in whose virtues were combined the surest safeguards for the loyalty and the liberty of á people born to freedom; and who have never abused the blessings of freedom, when fairly and constitutionally dispensed to them.

"We would on no account offend, by intruding unnecessarily into the personal concerns of your majesty. Your majesty's interests, however, have become the interests of the public. We trust then, we shall be éxcused, as well as believed, when we take the liberty of assuring your majesty, that we have long beheld the afflictions by which your majesty has been so peculiarly oppressed with the most genuine emotions of sympathy and grief.

you

"In these feelings, common, with some few unimportant exceptions, to the great bulk of his majesty's subjects, we have been, in some degree, consoled, by the conviction that your majesty must have seen and known that the sufferings to which have been exposed, and the indignities to which you have been doomed, have been in no way attributable to any want of affection, or dutiful consideration, towards your majesty, on the part of the British nation.

"But, of all the consolations which, under such circumstances, we could have received, one of the greatest has been afforded to us, by the courage, the fortitude, and the magnanimity, with

which your majesty has opposed yourself, in person, to measures which threatened, if not the destruction of your majesty's life, the destruction, at least, of your majesty's privileges and reputation. The extraordinary vigour of your majesty's conduct, Eas~* not only commanded the respect, the admiration, and the confi dence of every liberal and enlightened mind; but it has raised, we trust, an invincible barrier against the enemies of your majesty's peace and honor; and has secured the transmission of your majesty's name to futurity, unsullied by the defilements which malevolence and servility might have attempted to attach to it.

"That the advantages your majesty has acquired by this wise and dignified course of proceeding, may not be impaired "by needless, or insidious negotiations; that your majesty's character; and rights may be established on the plain and common sense grounds, which are evidently those of your majesty's choice, and not be frittered away by verbal subtilties, and refinements, be yond the scope of popular comprehension that your majesty, by continuing to dwell among us, may not only long reign in our hearts, but be an eye-witness and a personal partaker of the joys with which (as it has been confessed even by one of the king's ministers) your majesty's presence is calculated to inspire us: that your majesty, in few words, may possess, during the remainder of your valuable life, such securities for happiness as may, in some measure, atone atone for the unmerited ills of days gone by;-these, may it please your majesty, are the objects earnestly and wished and devoutly prayed for by the millions of friends and of advocates by whom your majesty is at this moment surrounded and by no part of the British community more ardently, than by the inhabitants of that large and respectable district of the metropolis, who now presume to lay at your majesty's feet this humble testimony of their fidelity, their regard, and their and their venera tion."
