It is highly satisfactory to me to find the Inhabitants ,•of this place as well as the rest of the kingdom, so - serially impressed with a conviction of my innocent.,, even after the %itemises for the accusation had been heard, and lie•fore I had produced any evidence Id refute the charge," Het Majesty's Ammer to the Address from the In habitants of St. Ives:— " The inhabitants of the town of St. lees, in t 1 e county of linntisigdou, will accept my cordial thanks for this affectionate Address. The injustice of my en: - mks has excited the indignation of all good men; and there is no one who loves liberty that ran approve tlse unconstitutional character of their proceedings." Her Majesty returned the follou lug gracious An swer to the Inhabitants of Kidelermintter : " I sincerely thank the Inhabitants of Kidderminster for this loyal and affectionate Address. I shall he iner than recompensed for all the sufferings I have exp.- rienced, if they seltimately promote the happiness of these realms. That cam never he true happiness wh:ch begins and terminates iu self. That alone is true anti unsophisticated happiness which is reflected upon tie conactonanem of the misery we have alleviated, and the good we have produced. The most religious man is !:e who hears the nearest resemblance to what the most t %- lightened minds can form of the lima but reason. iv its most reflective hours, can imagine no higher perttc titan in lion himself, than that of the moat unbitten:le.! beneficence. What meet ,nobles men is the zealous imi tation of the Mute:erre in this resplendent attribute " Her Majesty's Answer to the Address of the !nimbi:- ants of Brecon, in the principality of Wales:— " I tun unfeignedly obliged to the inhabitants cf Brecon, in the ptincipality of Wale', for this loyal and affe, Coital. address.

" As the same you-rr which menaces the degradation of the Queen, threatens alavery to the nation, it is ac additional argument with all who value liberty stetter - onsly to assert the rights, and to vindicate the intim:rm.- of the Queen. The liberties of the nation are, at this - moment, blended into a strict union with the r:glits the Queen. One must perish with the other. If the Queen is degraded, the people will cerise to he free."

" In vindicating my rights, I ant defending those nc the people ; the sanctity of a free constitution is invadest, if a single individual is oppressed.
