." ' THE, QU4EN. The followinr , Address front Norwich has been presented to her Majesty : " to tAr Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. The dutiful Address of the liilialiitants of Norwich, in Common hall assembled, this 2d day of August. ss We, his Majesty a faithful subjects, the inhabitants of the City of Norwich. beg leave to approach your Ma• jesiy with our sincere condolence on the deaths of your illustrious Daughter and our late Sovereign, and to otter to your Majesty our cordial congratulations on your Ma jetty's return to this kingdom ; and at the saute tome to express our admiration of your' Majesty's conduct, in firmly and courageously resisting the bribes and threats which were offered to your Majesty, for the purpose of inducing your• Majesty to sacrifice .your honour, and to forego your just rights As the Queen of England. Havytig begn alwaylded to.cmisider it as an undis puted maxim of our law, that nobtie should be regarded and treated as guilty till fairly 'triad, and proved to be so, LtiZ cotriader the omission of your Majesty's name in the Liturgy—the refusal to send a yacht to con vey your Majesty to this country—and to provide a place of residence suited to your Majesty's exalted rank and station—as a cruel and wanton outrage upon your Ma jesty's feelings; and as a manifest proof, that your Ma jesty saccosers are actuated rather by a spirit of persecu tion,.than by a desire of rendering impartial and substan. thiljustice. • • A. We assure your Majesty that the appointment of a seetet committee to inquire intocharges against your Ma- • jesty, grouhded on the suspicious contents of a green bag, and the introduction upon this es-parte evidence of a bill of pains and penalties, for the purpose of degrad ing and divorcing your Majesty, are proceedings which we view with the greatest alarm and disgust, as being utterly abhorrent from the genuine principles of the British constitution, and as tending to the subversion of the liberties of the people. " It also appears to us that the refusal to specify time or place, when and where the crime alleged against your Majesty is asserted to have been committed, coupled also with a list and description of the witnesses in sup port of the accusation, is a still further violation of the principles of justice and the maxims of English juris- Erudence, and, therefore, calls upon us as men, and as nglishmen, to protest against this unworthy and un generous proceeding, and to tender to your Majesty the assurance of our deep sympathy in the struggle which your Majesty has to sustain against your enemies ; and out hope and trust, that as before, so again your Majesty will come out of the contest victorious, with the clear possession of your honour as a womaii, and the full re cavery of your rights as Queen. (Signed on behalf, and at the request of the Meeting.) " B. Lemma, Alderman." To which her Majesty returned the following most gracious answer:- 1 gratefully acknowledge my obligations to his Majesty faithful subjects, the inhabitants of the city of Norwich, for this affectionate address. The voice of sympathy is always soothing to the ear, but it is heard with double complacency when it is known to issue front the heart. I sin convinced that in this sympathetic tribute of regard for my insulted honour, and my violated rights, the inhabitants of Norwich have expressed only those sentiments which affection breathes front their generous hearts. " The accumulated indignities which I have expe rienced have had au affect quite contrary to the expec tations of my enemies; they have rendered me an object of public regard in a higher degree than I could other wise have been. My reason approves and my piety reveres that instinctive propensity which there is in the human heart to succour the oppressed. Of this propen sity no page in history furnishes a brighter examide than that which the British people have exhibited in favour of their persecuted Queen. Its proportion as my enemies have endeavoured to effect my abasement they have con tributed to my exaltation. They have degraded nobody but themselves. Their malice has beeti my protection, and their obliguy has become my panegyric. " W nen my adversaries had recourse to a bill of pains and penalties, they offered an involuntary testiationy to my ocence; for, if I had been guilty, my guilt might have heen established by a more legal and less circuitous process. But knowing that my integrity was my security as long as they remained within the confines ofour constitutional sanctuary, they !taped with profane daring over that sacred boundary, and a:2 now labouring to annihilate my honour as a woman, and my dignity as a Queen, by a procedure which trust in' its consequenct•s be perilous to the vitalinterests.ot individual and general liberty. 1 amt now, therefore, struggling not more for raw own good-than for that of the country. 'The goes tioti at this moment, is not merely whether the Queen shall have her rights, but whether the rights of any individual in the kingdom shall be free front violation. ' 44 Themaxims of English jurisprudence have always Ititherto• been favourable to the accused. Perhaps nay • accusers, who are also to be my judges, thought that t hey were acting in conformity to those maxims, when, after spreading the accusations against nie over a peri‘d of six years, and a space almost equal to that of a whole Continent, they refused any specification of the times when, and the places where, the charges were laid, after they had previously condescended not to grant any list of the witnesses by whom these charges were to be sup borted. A generous enemy never commences the cons at by previously wresting front his adversary every instrument of defence. But is not the conduct of my enemies a proof that they think their own cause weak stud mine strong? Why else do they labour with a soil of trembling cowardice to cripple my powers of resist. ance ? Is not this tacitly to tell the world that my in tegrity is their dread, and my accusation their shame ?" The fixed population of l'aris has increased to 657,172 persons. In Paris the number of women ►e greater than that of the men by nearly one-fifth. - THE NATIONAL ILEGISTEA. ARRIVAL, OF THE SETTLERS A T ALGOiI BAT. The John transport arrived at Portsmouth late on . Tuesday night front the Cape of Good hope. The Jai* took out 600 settlers for Algoa Buy, princi pally from Lancashire. The passengers were se verely attacked with the measles on the voyage out, but'from the great attention pail them, they' soon recovered from its effects. The following is a letter from one of the settlers who went out:— " My hear Friend—Accept a hurridd statement of our situation, as fur as I have experienced it. We arrived at Algoa Bay, after a tedious passage from Enaland, during which ave experienced sufficient pitionvi tire seal excellent arrangements of }he Government for noir comfort. I have been up the country as far as Gra ham's Town, and a mpie ciefighiffil one cannot be ex pressed. The first landing at Algoa Bay is a little int pieatatit, occasioned by a continued surf, but once lauded your greatest difficulty is over. You then apply to the proper officer, who has a surveyed Government plan before I • of the intended settlement, marked out in lots, of from 100 to 10,000 acres. Especial care is taken that every lot has a good spring of water and well wooded. Yon are then asked the number of followers you have, each being allowed lOU acres. This being ascertained, the quantity of land you want is sought for on the Government map, without any partiality. An authority is then given you to take possekon. Too praise cannot he given to the Governor for those arrangements, If you have not brought waggons, they Cart be procured of the Boors, with a team of oxen, and off yon 'set. The settle cent is about 190 miles from the sea. You pass a good Dutch farm every lb or WO miles. The government sell you a good tent fur two guineas, which you s.t up every night, making a blazing fire, and, sot rounded by your team, sleep in the greatest safety. We found on our arrival several respectable fa milies already housed. One gentleman, who brought out an iron roof, was housed, with all his family, in three days and nights, by lodging his roof on stumps of trees, plastering up the sides, and giving it a good white washing, which had a most comfortable and novel effect. The climate here is so good that you have four crops a year. By way of experiment, we planted some potatoes just after a rain, and they appeared in three stays. The road up to the Settlement is very good. and excellent pasturage every where for your cattle ; plenty of water and ber. Tell Tom to be sure to bring out a waggon; as also some vine slips of ,the best kind, which are scarce. Tobacco will grow here very well. About 3000 of us have arrived. Lieutenant Charles Church, the Government Agent, not satisfied with the kindness he 'hewed us on board the ship, accompanied us part of the way up the country. I should have said the Government will victual at sixpence a head till you provide yourself." THE NEW REGULATIONS AT BILLINGSGATE MARKET. .10.... - - Several of the oyster-boat proprietors, and others interested in the trade, appeared benne the Lord layor, to answer the complaint of Mr. Mitchelson, the Under Water Bailiff, and several other otlicers of Billingsgate Market, who charged them with disobedience to the Lord Mayor's orders, which directed that an existing cause of great public inconvenience shourd be removed. The Lord Mayor, who had the assistance of Alderman Atkins upon this occasion, said the City Lands Coin mhte had, after a great deal of deliberation, resolved upon prescribing a inure limited jurisdiction to the oyster pro • prietors as to the landing. That Com ttt iitee had, he was convinced, the public interest in view in reeomniending the regulation, and the defendants must find their own advantage eventually iu the arrangement. The proprietors, one and all. declared that the alter- • atiuns alluded to was nut sought for -by the public, although it might be attended with suing advantage to those who were most anxious to have it effected. They thought it an extreme severity, that alter, having laboured for many years at the trade, all at once such a check upon their profits should be given. lit tact, if its Lordship persisted, the business could not be none, and the punk would suffer a very serious inocnvenience ; besides that, the proprietors would sustain irreparable injury front the stoppage of the trade, the boats at a distance übt being to be come at in proper time for sale, and the comutodity being very perishable. Alderman Atkins said, the boats should beitrrariged•. in regular order in the dock, anti as one twat we dri charged, anothol should take its place. By ihts plan the buyer could easily go from boat .to boat th fNuse - oysters, instead of being obtol.to take them - at the dis cretion of the cobberi Pr .agoits. The proprietors said, it was imprissible that such a plan could succeed; the dock beitig'vei b y small, and theamval ofoyster.boats very great every thoroteg. They were wil hug to preventall iticrhivenielicbtd the Minkel, by sending the oys ers round by Dark-house l latie. Onoof them de dared that he hied-paid 1091.7 a week fOr the inetage— Another, that he had laid mit, in' two seasons,. 3: - Vitol.. dud a third, that lie had, since he bonnuenced trade, laid out 130,0001. in oysters alode. They begged That, instead of -putting the order into execution, two ladders would be allowed to them from the side of the Market tol .he bratits, by which the disadvantages they laboured under for some time would be removed, and the public benefited. The Lord Mayor said he was determined that the experiment should be tried, and was of opinion that•it would he successlitl. . The proprietors at the since tune sl hi have ali possible facilities of latioing. The Proprietors withdrew; declaring that the greatest possible Ctlllillbil/11 Would take ;dace, and expressing their dissatisfaction strongly, but respectfully. On Tuesday afternoon a communication was made from the Secretary of State's Otfit:e to the Police Magistrates, requesting that none of them would be absent from town on the 17th inst. 11511 .
