_.., Mr. E. HEATH. of Wood street. said. he, as one of the requisitionists, could bear testimony. that the Meeting was not put forward by their Worthy Al derman. who, he had every reason to believe, knew nothing about it until the requisition ums put into his hands.—Mr. Heath afterwards proceeded to state, that himself and a number of other gentlemen had met, and drawn up a set of Resolutions and an Ad dress, for the purpose of submitting them to the con sideration of the Meeting, in case no one came for ward with any, or should a better nut be hi-might for ward. After some further remarks, the Speaker pro ceeded to submit to the Meeting some Resolutions, evpressise of the sentiments of the inhabitants of the parish with regard to the proceeding now taking. place against the queen: and also an Address to her Ma jesty, congratulating her on her arrii al in this country, and of condolence in the manifold afflic tions and persecution. which she had met with ilitrittz her absence trout this country. The Aildreo. a a q worded with as much circumspection a s p a.iblr, and the sentiments contained in it would no tlool.. m e e t unanimous approbation. Ile would not continue to c'aim their attention by sus lengthened tub's-nations of his upon a subject which was already .o well um derstood, and upon which they were all so well agreed. The Resolution., after some further oh.erv.itions, were put and carried unanimously. 1;pon the Address moved by Mr. Heath 'wine put. Mr. guile canoe forward - with another Address, which he intended to submit to the consideration of the Meeting for their adoption, in the place of the f!rtt propuaed, which, although a very emol one. he tltetitleil did not go far enough. It was a singular. but melincholy fart, that for • time past they had ' , ever met to offer Addresses of Congratulation. lost that they obliged to join to them protests against aoae fresh innovations upon their Laws or l'onsti folio. Their objects in meeting were various. The first was to congratulate her 3lssiesty upon her arrival in this country, which was alone, under the dream stances, almost MI answer to the charges against her. They had to condo:e with her on the manifest visita ti.m• which had been inflicted upon her, and upon the shameful p. mentions which she had molergone during her alegetice from this eountry, and they hail to protest spinet the Bill of Pairs and Penalties, as a measure not only of injustice towards her• hut affecting the rights of every man in the kinodom, and stabling the very vitals of public josstire (applause.) The Speaker roeceded to comment on the proceeditoss in the Ifisuse of //Ards, which. he said. were totally un hi:own to the law of the laud, and were a Won't precedent, unless they recurred to the most barbarous periods of our history. If the will of the Kin s ; was to he the law they had nothing left by which they vivid pledge or frame their conduct. lir coutensled that the proceedings which nere instituted by the prosecntura in the present case. might at some future period be brought forwarl as a preeeth•nt against themaelves. Tel e House of Lords hail hitherto been coesialered as the dernier resort—as the ...aatoin sago , terse to which !hi- acre to appeal to for justi c e in cases while mine la old be found el...where. or to which the lasts enacted were not applicable. his character with their ;srivili•ges they seemed altolit to surrender to the Howie of Commons, bv making it the Court of Appeal, whirl, they si null du if they I Sound the Quits guilty.

The public, lie contended, rou:ti us. vet be satisfied with the decisions of a Court e mstituted as the Lower !louse was. lie asked, if ore of the descendants of the Illustrious !loose of Pattov4.r was to be degraded by pinceedino rioni :::eured by t wu Alen, the one discarded frum a shoulder- I .ist, and the other the sun of a Scotch ?

It was ns• re than possible that the Queen might one day be the sure licir to the throne; in hilril a case were they to have a Sovereign degraded in the manner it v ss now proposed to degrade the Queen ?-11e nest aii-erted to the conduct of the Bishops sou the present oe, asiun, and aakeit that body whether they tl ght, to use the words of the prayer. that " truth and piety, religion and justice." were to be established by prweeditsLa like those now instituted against the Queen c I n commenting on the evidence, lie remarked, that it was onsolatury the nu Esigliabitian had ors fcred tilui , c:l amongst them in viti•purt of inch foul charges. Atter some further observations, the Speaker proceeded to feud the Address. Mr. seconded the h‘st Address. The first, he was of opinion, was taw limited, and did not go far enough. The Address proposed by Mr. Pirke, and that pro pt.fPsed by 31r. Ileath, were then put. whets the former was carried by a large majority. After s • further business, Mr. lIFATII moved the thanks of the Meeting to Alderman Wood, which nos put and carried. It was put and carried, that the Inhabitants shoohi r • top with th.i Address in a body, and that is eons otittee sl Id be appointed to make arranges's( nts fur that purpose. Alderman Wool), in returning thanks, observed, that be had not latterly had many opportunities of at tending public meetings; however, it was a source of the highest gratificatiou to him to know that his con dect had met the approbation of his fellow•rountry men ; but it was doubly gratifying when such testi monials cauic from his neighbours and friends. In acting as hr had done, he could have but one motive, and bad dune no inure than his duty, which every Engliabusan would have done if hr had such informa tion as hr (Alderman Wood) had, that a female was pursued by a foul conspiracy, and that female was his Queen ; therefore lie could lay claim to nothing on that wore. indeed Ina ought, with the information which be then bad, to have gone ever to the Continent /Midi Welber, but that Ile was prevented by adverse circumstances'. When he west to the Coatiant, he found that the conspiracy against the Queen had been carried on as far as St. Omer's, and large sums were • there °tiered fur hvidence. Had the prosecutors ien tured to extend their charges up is that !Oat!, lie would have been placed in a very different situation from that in which lie then stood, for he should have been a witness. With respect to the evidence against the Queen. lie had no hesitation in saying that 41 would be met in such a manner as would give the ut most xatisfaction to the country, and hand down the ; names of the prosecutors with disgrace to po.terity, if it was pox‘ible to di•irrare them more than they were. lle was conicious that what he bad done was right.; and he should rejoice in having done his duty ax• lung ax he lived. The approbation of his fellow-pa- risbioners wa+ most grateful to him, and he hoped that he elsoithl lice long to deserve it. Thani.s were vuteol to 51r. liiehe Pn d Jir.

There being no possibility ,of accommodating the numerons c ... patly whirls had al ready arrived within the walls of that edifice, it was agreed to adjourn the 'sleeting. to the tlreen, where a spacious and.commoslions booth and hustings been previously prepares!.

The Orem was thronged with equipages and teeslestrians in great numbers ; and the fineness of the weather, added to the interesting nature of the ucca,iun, hail drawls an immense r •ourse of 'spectator, together : the re spectability of their appearance, the ~.sreat order and attention to the proceetlities observed by them, and the universal sympathy ansi feeling ;shirt, they manifested, were such as tonne have impressed the most indifferent stranger with a high sense of the real state of time rib lie feeling among the must respectable classes 05 the COIBI.IIII nily.

They were not assem bled to pronounce upon her Majesty's innocence or fronts hat to pronounce upon the most odious measures that ever disgraced any narks'. a.• I the question now was, whether the King of Englan I might get rid of his wife ur not.—(A laugh and applause unhappy differences esisted in private life, anal a system of this kind tal been pursue d . for the purposes ;f !separation, it would hr said th flat man was tired of his wife; that he wanted In push her from his proteetiout ; and that n hate% er might be the %tile's emir. the husband had Oiled not 11411 much feeling. Tie. time Misname w Isms things ware to he called by their right moues, and thesis har measlres sle111:111.1cli the sito•t decisive opposi tion on the rart of the people. .'t chamee, it seeme d, had taken place in the opinion of the ,lodges upon this important ..erasion. About two days before the adjourn. meat, a Noble Lonl, who was the well-known supporter of Government under all circumstances, asked th e p r i me Minister a optestion upon the subject of tlie Divorce part of the Lill. It was merely for the I t ratiticaf of the euriosity of the sviellites of the Minister, and it was 1101 I‘llooll that they were determined to support him. %%briber it was his intention to press the Divorce Clause or not. At that moment no answer was ortnrnetl, butt a lung time had not elapsed before the Minister ex pressed his intention to omit the insertion of any clause to that eirect. New. the Divorce part of the Bill luting withelrarn, there were, of course, no longer any public grounds for pretending that the Bill aimed at any pub lic good.— ( Applause.) This was an unjust an d cowardly mole of proceeding. .% fate of this kind might arise tram the fart of a husband being afraid that his own conduct would be brought to light, and a nisi) to keep his rite mat of the way, in order, that he might pursue that conduct %tido - nit interruption. It was well worth the while of the fleeting to consider the cominct of the King's Attorney-General. tier Alajestv's fi rst Law .lalviser asked him who sent him there; the King's Attorney-General could not tell ; and upon Iseing asked upon %silose authority he came. the same answer was re turned. Could the conduct of that very great authority. the Solicitor-General, hue vier forgotten: Ile haul said there certainly had Iwo) no direct midetwe of allidtery on board ship. Now the two Captains had declared that they observed nothing improper in her 11ajestv's conduct, anal the erg ttttt esti of the great law authority was, that as there was a possibility that adultery might have been ronrinitttd, adultery actually was committed —(laud lau g hter and applause.) 'ate public might rely upon it, that those odious measures would be shirked some nay or other by Ministers, whin were templets-by ashamed of and fatigned by their unhappy elsolee of a elan of persecution. Ile was, indeed. of opinion, that as the subject was a matter of female honour anal female delicacy. and involved the mit-slims. whether the Queen of England was to be at the head of the sex in this country or not, the derision upon it should lie left to a jury of bialies.—(Applause.) The lion. Gentleman con cluded by observing, he should hand the first resolution (are resolutions) to Sir Gerard Noel, Ow would leave the pleasureof propounding it to thou.—{lmmense cheering.) Sir Grams') Nostt. stepped forward amidst general applause. In returning to the preliminary steps which had been taken previously to the present proceeding, he could not help being particularly struck with one re markable circumstance, vii.—the omission of her Ma jratv's name (ruin the Liturgy I ediately moon the lamented death of George 111. This was a striking matter, even in a Protestant runntry, in point of time ; because. at the very time that the Queen. then Princess Regent. was charged with the abominable acts impaled to her, her name was allowed to retards is the Liturgy ; and it did remain while breath was permilteal so remain in the body of dor late Kimg.—(clear, her, hear!)—lt was fortunate for those whom he addedlised that limy lived under a ronstitntion—that their were guarded by laws gained by our forefather; osesof the arbitrary ra cemes of James 11., and maimed by their valour and their wisdom apes the ersayloties of that gloriosa revo- Intios which seated Williams 111. tapes thr thrum.. The illustrious wooer, whew cease they Isere met to moul der sod to vindicate, had Mho Nag. Lnli *erred as tote of her 'bootie's, ea oallor soek loos and sorb a anstiiition, but in a Popish country abroad, where we bad,• indeed, ambassadors. They must reeolleet that i i mbassadors were for the protection of individuals of their respective nations ; whom they were supposed so rompletely to shadow and defect' by their anthonty, that sometimes even wars were declaresl if those individuals were insulted in violation of the privileges of such am bassadors. But the Queen of England, while there, was no longer under the protection of this countre ; she was liable to the attacks of every assassin.—(Year, hear •.) Her's was the same situation almost as Thomas a Becket's with regard to Henry 11., when that King was abroad. Henry complained of the man whose existence gave him constant disturbance, and exclaimed in the hearing of his followers, " Will nobody rid we of this person, who gives me endless disquiet ? a The words were heard by his servants, and, putting their o:en construction upon them, they came over to England and assassinated a prelate, the approach to whose shrine was still to he seen, worn by the steps of those pilgrims who had come front every quarter to behold it. The very same thing might have happened to our Queen, by reason of the abominable treatment she had received. It was owing —and he would maintain it—it was owing solely to the love and affection which every body bore to that excel , leot and injured woman—their Qnren—(Cheers)—it was owing to their powerful and spontaneous protection that she had not been immediately, and long before this period, immolated by the stiletto of the assassin. For tunate it was for that noble lady that she journied through those countries before the assassin was vet ready to strike the blow. Favoured as she had been by the guar than and watchful care of Providence, it was well that they had now a living Queen to address, instead of a dead one to deplore.—(l.mill cheering.)—When the Queen was offered by the I zovermisent !WNW. a year as the price of her shame and her security, he was well convinced that the offer argued no extravagance in his Majesty's llinisters, because, bail she accepted the of fer, they well knew that her life would soon be snatched away from her in a Popish country, and that their splen did bribe u oithl nut he to he paid her for more than six weeks at forthes•.—(Hear. hear :)—The worthy Baro net concluded by moving the first resolution ; which was seconded by Mr. Collins, and carried unani mously. _ . . Mr. PETER MOORE moved the second Resolution, which warmly praise i her Majesty's refusal of the bribe offered to her, and her heroism in disregarding I the threats. Ile agreed with the Worthy Chairman and Baronet who had preceded him, in the observa tions they had made. Indeed, every one could be eloquent upon t [m.o. lamentable proceedings which had been since the Errat meeting at Mary-le-bone, the sister parish to Paddington. propped up and supported by additional perjury and corruption. Who was it that directed all this ? floe Chancellor sat quietly upon his Woolsack, waiting for the signal from :Ministers; and one Noble Lord said iio this, and another do that, and all re ceive'l the character of Judges. This was nothing but a profound mockery. lint there was, thank Boil, an appeal to the people, olio would scoot this odious pruceetliug. The trial was, in fact, not the trial of the Queen, but of the 31 i niaters--(A pplan se)--w too hail themselves declared, through the medium of Mr. Wilberforce, that scape•goat of all Ministerial imposition upon the people, that the proceeding was derogatory to the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the hest interests of the country. This was the doctrine of the Ministers ; and if so, how came it that they adopted a course fraught with such dreadful consequencesl—(Loud a(pplause.)—As to the Divorce part of the Bill lie had a few worths to say. He believed that Ministers would be very happy of an opportunity of divorcing themselves from the Bill altogether. Their leorolships pretended to be regulated by Courts below, and they applied to the Judges to give their assistance; but there was another Court, that of Doetors' Commons. which must he engrafted on the Bill. Their Lordship' t he regulated by the proceedings in that Court, and how then would they be oblige,' to act ? What was to be the farther process amongst their Lordship ? When the evidence was closed, they wroth! go into a Committee and endeavour to leave nut the Divorry Clause. But that should not be slime until the evidence of his Majesty, and of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and of the .1 Divines who hail signed the paper, which had been drawn np years ago to ohm-moth the Queen, should be regularly exaussitird—(Laughter.)—lt was a maxim with him, that no Barrister should adopt any proceeding without having what appeared to him to be competent proof, and how, he begged to know, haul the Attorney-General's state ment been borne nut by evidence ? those proceedings • were said by the Attornerlieneral to have been going on lois years, and yet there is no individual charge, and ; three of those years were never alluded to in evidence. Besides, what period had been chosen for fixing the ins ! potation ? Why the period of her travels, when the nation t necessarily have been in ignorance as to her move ments. The pulilierronlol,lie assured the Meeting, be soon convinced by evidence of the gronnollessuess of all the charges against her Majesty. The cry with her M a jesty's enemies was, " Why do you disturb the country :" and threats were hell out to stop the interposition of tier friends. But the politic, who were her friends, wanted no escape—a defence should he made, and that upon the first authorities, and other divorces might be made, but not a divorce from that 11111; for if Ministers were allowed to divorce themselves from that Bill, the Constitution must inevitably be lost. The Honourable gentleman then made some e go' upon the evidence of Louisa Wilmot, and upon the general character of the Italian witnesses, and their reailiiir” to undertake the vile otiire fur money. He declared that the Leicestershire Militia hail athiresaetl her Majesty ; butt the power and inclina ' tion of their C andant to snbject them to privation's prevented them from ackmosrlialging it; they, however, hail nut denied it. After some observations upon the vast her of Addresses that were pouring in from all quarters to her Majesty, the lionourilile Gentleman coo -1 eluded by eapressing his Opinion, that th e e ff or t s o f th e people would frastrate all the desperate efforts of the enemies of the Queen and the Constitution—{Lund applause.) Mr. 01.1. tee, a parishioner, in a very sensible address, proposed the third resolution. We are sorry for our • I inability to give even an outline of this gentlian s s's r e . marks. Much interest was eacitel by a few manly and spirited observations of Capt. Jenkins, his Meal. This gontleuma is the owner of several vessels, and was stated to be atborwiste a person of respectahle property and essaneetions. At the request of Mr. Oilier, he advanced; and with that mixture of timidity and manliness, which are so characteristic of a British seaman, upon an occa sion like the present, he spoke to the following effect : .. Uentlemen, I arrived here only yesterday evening. I bail net, I assure yon, the small;ost knowle'sige whatever !of the projected assemblage of this moat respectable ' sleeting; sor die slightest idea whatever that stir name world ever he mentioned. It has been, though; and when I am (Idled on as a Briton, give me leave to say, I feel an English heart within sue. I ant a seafaring mans and have been, fur several years past, accustomed Ito visit different porta, and towns and cities, in th e Mediterranean. I may moors- to add that I am are quaintest with most of the British Consuls in tbe Medi %strums:4 and those gentlemen we mist consider as the servants of the British nation.

If there 1 , be any Italian present, I would call upon hi m to face me.—(Continued laughter.)—(Here th e ga ll ant captain took elf his hat, and held it forward with an emphat i c gesture.) I would venture to say, that t would get hi m , easily, to declare that this hat, which you see is tptite black, is a green one.(A laugh.)—Hut let me tell yo u , where our Queen is said to bare been, there are a great many English gentlemen—men of honour. Let them be called on, in Hod's name, and we may knots wh a t we have to trust to; but mean time, no more of this Italian nonsense.—(Loud cheering.)—l hare been at Genoa, Malta, Smyrna, Marseilles, Naples, Cousta l pi. nople, Ephesus—what is now called Alexandria; I h um been in other places where her Majesty has been ; I have mixed with high and low ; and never did I hear one person in those parts speak except in terms of the highest praise and admiration of the British Queen." Captain Jenkins then retired. It would be dithcult to express the general sympathy and favour excited by his gallant and honest appearance. Mr. P. Moore came forward, and, before lie conld well propose them, three times three lusty cheers were given with true heart. in honour of this British seaman. Mr. Mies, Mr. Kerby, Sir Gerard Noel, the Rer. Marcus, who read tho two addr►sses ksee resolution.). Mr. Butler, J. lieppell, Esq.. S. C. Whitbread. Esq., m.p . . and P. Moore, Esq., M.

We must re. peat that we never beheld a more truly respectable as. semblage, or one more enlivened by the prestur of a vast access►on of fetnale beauty. The gentlemen of the committee, Sir Gerard Noel. Bart. and M. I'., Mr. Whitbread, M. P. Mr. Peter Moore. M.P., and others then retired to the hospitable home of S. Fletcher, Esq., where they parto.sis of r e fr es h mests. It is almost unneremary to sdJ, the deportment of the meeting was in the highest degree decorous sod becoming. Iet:HIT.O4CE OP TIM RC 4 OIXTIONt. 1. That this meeting views with disgust and indigss. tion the unremitting and bitter persecution with which her Majesty Queen Caroline has been pursued, and the base endeavours to inflict on her the punishment of a tainted reputation, contrary to that noble element of British jurisprudence which declares every one to be innocent till proved to be guilty. t That this Meeting considers that her Majesty merits our warmest thanks for that honourable exercise of her mind, in scornfully refusing a base bribe off led her, upon the one baud, and a still baser threat upon the other. _ 3. That this Meeting does hereby express its ahhor• rence of the principle of the present proceeding by a Inn of P 3411174 and Penalties arainst her Majesty, and of the partial wanner and insolent way in which its framers have dared to conduct it. 4.
