THE QUEEN. The following . Address from Norwich has been presented to her Majesty : " lb thr Qateoes .dust ECCE/Illifi MOPSII/. " The dutiful Address of the InitalMants of Norwich, in C ot otovit oall tin, 2.1 day or August. " We, In: M .jetty s 144111 - U1 subjects, the intiabitaiits of the City of Norwich, beg leave to approach your Ma jesty wini our siterere co.ololetiee on the deaths of your illostritnis Utuginer and our late Sovereign, aiel to rifler to your Alaiesiy our c irdi it congraiiiidtloll•: on your Ma jesty's mum to this kingdom ; and at lie S1111:2 tittle to express our admiration of your Majesty's conduct, in firmly and con ageously resisting tile bribes and toreats which were offered to your Majesty, for the purpose of inducing your Nlajesty to sacrifice your honour, and to forego your just rights a. the Queen of England. " Having been always led to consider it as an lis rotted tioaxim of our law, that no one should be regarded and treated as guilty till fairly tried, and proved to be so, we c moot but consider the omission of your Majesty's name in the Liturgy—the refusal to send a yacht to con vey/our Majesty to this country—and to provide a place of residence suited to your Majesty's exalted rank and statism—as a cruel and wantote outrage upon your Ma jesty's feelings; and as a manifest proof, that your Ma jesty's accusers are actuated rather by a spirit of persecu tion, than by a desire of rendering impartial and substan tial justice. " We assure your Majesty that the appointment of a secret committee to inquire into charges against your Ma je-ty, grounded on the suspicious coutents of a green bag, and the idtroduction upon this exparle evidence of a hill of pains and penalties, for the purpose of degrad itig and divorcing your Majesty, ale proceedings which we view with the greatest alai in and disgust, as being utterly abhorrent from the genuine principles of tile British constitution, and as tending to the subversion of the libetties of the people. " It also appears to us that the refusal to specify dine or place, when and o here the crime alleged against your Majesty is asserted to have bean cot d, coupled al.o with a list aml 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 prudence, and, therefine, calls upon us as men, and as Englishmen, to protest against this unworthy and un generous proceeding, and to tender to your Majes‘y the assurance of our deep sympathy in the struggle which your Majesty has to sustain against your enemies ; and our hope and trust, that as before, so again your Mojesty will come out of the contest victorious, with the clear possession of your honour as a woman, and the full re envy of your rights as Queen. (Signed on behalf, and at the request of the Meeting.) " B. 'Amax, Alderman." To which her Majesty returned the following most gracious answer : " 1 gratefully acknowledge my obligations to his 'Majesty faithful subjects, the inhabitants ut 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 ads convinced that in this sympathetic tribute of regard for toy insulted howl's, and lily violated rights, the inhabitants of Norwich have expressed only those sentiments which affection breathes trout their generous hearts. " The accumulated indignities which I have expe rienced have had an affect quite contrary to the expec tations of my enemies; they have rendered toe an ouject of public regard in a higher degree than 1 could other wise have heen. My reason approves and toy piety reveres that instinctive propensity which there is in the human heart to succour the oppressed. Of this propen sity 1/0 page in history furnishes a brighter example than that which the British people have exhibited in favour of their persecuted Queen. In proportion as my enemies have endeavoured to effect toy abaseineut they have con tributed to my exaltation. Too)! It ive degraded nobody but themselt es. Their malice has been my protection, awl their obliquy has become my panegyric. " Wnen my adversaries hail recourse to a bill of pains and penalties, they offered an titers:lunacy testimony to toy innocence ; fir, if 1 had been guilty, my guilt might have been establisbed by a more legal and less circuitous process. But knowing that my integrity was my security as long as they remained within the confines of our constitutional sanctuary, they leaped with profane daring over that sacred boundary, and are now labouring to annihilate my honour asa woman, and toy dignity as a Queen, by a procedure which must in its consequences be perilous to the vital interests of individual and general liberty. lUM now, therefore, struggling not more for my own good than for that of the country. The ques• toil at tilts moment, is not merely whether the Queen shall have her rights, but whether the rights of any individual the k ItgAinn shall be free front violatimi. " The maxims of Euglish jurisprudence hate always hitherto been lavourable to the accused. Perhaps toy accusers, who are also to be my judges, thought that they were acting in conformity to those III:MIMS, when, alter spreading the accusations against me over a period of six years, and a space almost equal to that of a whole Continent, they refused any speedicatioo of the times when, and the places where, the charges were laid, after they had previously condescended not to grant aoy Itt of the witnesses by whom these charges were to be sup ported. A generons enemy never cu tttttt owes the com bat by previously wresting from his adversary every instrument of detence. But is not the conduct of toy enrnli:s a proof that they think their own came we.ils and thine stating? Why eke do they labour with a son of to-mining cowardice to cripple my powers of re, st ance? Is not this tacitly to tell the world that toy iit tegrity is then dread, and my accusation then shame 1•' The fixed population of Paris has increased to 657,172 persons.

ARRIVAL OF THE SETTLERS AT ALCOA BAY. _........- The John transport arrived at Portsmouth late on Tuesday night from the Cape of Good hope. The John took out 600 settlers for Algoa Bay, 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 effeets. The following is a letter from one of the settlers who went out:— •• My (.ear Final I—Ace:lu a flurried Stalelllelll actor situ Anon, as far as 1 have experienced ii. We arrived at Algoa lily, after a tedious passage from En4land, during which we experienced sufficient proofs of the vi-ry excellent arrangements of the Government for our comfort. 1 have brio' up the country as far as G,a ium's Town, and a more delightfol one cannot he ex• pressed. The first landing at Algoa Bay is a little un pleasant, ocemiotied by a continued surf, but once landed your greatest difficulty is over. You then apply to the proper officer, who has a surveyed Government plats before him of the intended settlement, marked out in lots, of from lot) to 10,000 acres. Especial care is taken that every lot has a grind spring of water and well wowed. You are then asked the number of followers you have, each Wing allowed tun acres. This being ascertained, the quantity of land you want is sought for on the Government map, without any partiality. Au authority is then given yon to take possession. Too much praise cannot ne given to the Governor for those arrangements. If you have hot brought waggons, they can be procured of the Boors, with a trans of oxen, and off you set. The settle i.ent is about 190 miles from the sta. You pass a good Dutch farm every 15 or to miles. The governm•to sell you a good tent fur two guineas, which you s t up every night, making a blazing fire, Alinpuitdol by your tram, sleep in the greatest safety. We found on our arrival several respectable fa milies already housed. One gentleman, who brought out an iron I, was housed, with all his family, in uiree days and nights, by Indgmg his roof on stumps of trees, phsiering up the sides, and giving it a good white washing, which had a most comfortable and novel effect. The climate hne is so good that you have four tun* a year. By way of expesiment, we planted some potatoes just after a rain, and they appeared in three days. l'he road tip to the Settlement is very good, and excellent pasturage every where for your caitle ; plenty of water and • her. 'fell 'Pont 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 sheaved us out 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. Several of the oyster-boat proprietors, and others interested in the trade, appeared before the Lord Mayor, to answer the complaint of Mr. Mitchelson, the Under %%later Bailiff, mid several other officers of Billingsgate Market, wl:o charged them with disobedience to the Lord Mayor's orders, which directed that an existing cause of great public inconvenience should be removed. The Lord Mayor, who had the assistance of Alderman Atkins upon this occasion, said the City Lands Cont 'Mite had, after a great deal of deliberation, resolved upon prescribing a more limited jurisdiction to the oyster pro prietors as to the landing. 'filjt Comurittee had, he was convinced, the public interest in view in reco 111111 l coding the regulation, and the defendants must find their own advantage eventually in the arrangement. The proprietors, one and all, declared that the alter ations alluded to was not sought for by the public, although it might be attended with some advantage to those who were most anxious to have it effected. They thought it an extreme severity, that after having laboured fur many years at the trade, all at mice such a check upon their profits should be given. In tact, it' his Lordship persisted, the business could not be dune, and the inutile would suffer a very serious inoctivenienee ; besides that, the proprietors would sustain irreparable injury from the stoppage of the trade, the boats at a distance not being to be come at in proper time for sale, and the commodity being very perishable. Alderman Atkins said, the boats should be arranged in regul.tr order in the dock, and as one boat was dis charged, another should take its place. By this plan the buyer could easily go from boat to boat to chose oysters, instead of being obliged to take thew at the dis cretion of the cobbers or agents. The proprietors said, it was Impossible that such a plan could succeed, the dock being very small, and the arrival uloyster-boats very great every wonting. They were wil ling to prevent all mcouvemence to the market, by sending the oys ers round by atrk-house-lane. One of them de elartd that he had paid 10)1: a week for the tnetage— Another, that he had laid out, in two seasons, 35,0001. and a third, that he had, since he •need trade, laid out I 30,000!. in oysters alone. They begged that, instead of putting the order into execution, In° ladders would be allowed to them Irom the side of the Market to he boats, by which the disadvantages thty laboured tinder lon some time would be ranched, and the public uenefitied. The Lord Mavor said he was determined that the experiment should be tried, and was a 01 titian that it wrotlil be sueLesscril. The proprietors at the sante hole lunild hive alt possible facilities 01 lauding.

The following is an extract of a letter received on Saturday from Naples, dated July 18: —On Sunday that portion of the army which is here, took the oath of fidelity to the new Constitution. More than 15,000 men were drawn up on the occasion, and the Royal Family, with the Ministers were present at the solemnity. The festivities are to be crowned by a grand dinner, to be given to the army upon a fine level plain, called the Campo, about a mile distant. Imagine what a consumption of ma• earoni there will be on that day. By an order of the Vicar-General, the Parliament (or Cortes) are to assemble on the Ist of October, The members of the Provisional Junta appointed to carry on the Government ad interim, are not popular; for they are not supported by the Carbonari. This set is so formidable, that it is conceived no set of men can maintain themselves in power against whom they profess a political hostility.
