was now spoken out loudly. She was charged with vice, crimes, and infamy, which were enough, by anticipation (for he knew nothing of the real con trots of " the green bag") to nauseate, not to soy a delicate or squeamish mind, but the neisitis of any persons of common delicacy. In that situation, mid under those grave and solemn circumstunce,s, where, if at all, malice and animosity might be most confidently expected to sleep, she was still pur sued. Bowing before the throne of the Most High, mid offering Ilp petitions for grace mid mercy, her enemies stewed neither grace nor mercy towards her— her mime was. left out of the Liturgy. He would not have mentioned it had it been merely a Complaint that the Queen's name seas not inserted 711 die Liturgy. He should be sorry to overstate our single circumstance. He must point out an extraordinary fret, that ulthough a commission had been instituted &Word, and its inquiries had been conducted ender the guidance of a great law officer, it was nearly twelve months before sufficient information had been remitted, to give hi. Majesty's Ministers confidence sufficient to institute a regular charge. During this time they were informed by parties whose authority cuult not he questioned, that the Queen's dwelling place had nothing like the sanctity of severity. A person bearing a title, and of high consideration in the State to which lie belonged, had actually broken open her locks, and robbed her of papers, which, although the loss of them could not injure her character, would render him infamous to all future times. At length, de fying prosecution, and seeking only for justice and a fair hearing, she had come to the bor der of the French territory. and there site was met by treatment which a man who wished to think well of his country and its governors felt it painful to mention. Her legal adviser appeared a Gentleman of undoubtedly great talents, and well qualified to counsel her ; but at the same time came a messenger from Ministers, offering her con ditions which he should have thought it impossible for any tnan to ask a female to accept. She was to he bribed largely enough, but she was to acknow ledge, under proffered thrents, her own debase meut. Was this a situation becoming the Queen of a country, of which it is the boast that no mail, however obscure, ought to he suspected or punished until proved to be guilty ? The other side of the pic ture was as grateful as the first was disgusting. Without having at the time any great men with whom she could take counsel; without being ab 4 to commit any cabinet of wise illustrious persons; nay, being singly opposed to those who were the fountains of honour, and whose power was sufficient to pervert justice, yet how prompt was her decision as to the course which in future she meant to pursue ! Her answer was, that she would treat in London only; and on being urged to give some reply to the cum. vutthication then made, she said that she would re. ply, but it should be in London. Was this the de meanour of rice Was this firmness of purpose characteristic of one whose crimes were declared to be enough to nauseate the whole country ? If so, where were men to look for that fortitude which was supposed to he the defence and support of virtue .done ? Ile hoped that he was not overstating the case; he was expressing merely what decent and moderate men generally felt. The Queen. in breathless haste, came away, sought the free shores of Britain, and had thrown herself on the gallantry and the justice of the British people. She could not appeal in vain. Her persecutors had fulfilled their threat.. A Message, followed by a green bag, was sent down to Parliament. It was declared at the same time, that the mischievous nature of its contents was enough to deprave and overthrow all the morals of the country. And yet what had the Honer of Commons done in this rase ?—(He allud es! to Mr. Vilhrrforce's motion.) —Could it be be lieved, that MI large s body of honourable and sensi ble men would conselit to treat with a party so foully implicated as the character given el the green bag implied ? He did not ask them to alter their minds from a state of doubt, if any had fallen into it. All hr wished was, that they would, according to the advice given by the House of Commons, sus pend their Irpiainus and pitly,mrists while the in quiry was going on.. The green hag had been opened in the House of Lords. They would do well to reserve their opinions, only taking care to protest against any secret inquiries. Let the inveae ligation be open at the day—let no overbearing au thority from the lianch, or seat of Justice, prevent publication—let the bar of Justice hr open to all who chose to listen. This was the only sort of trial which could podgy the people of England. Ile had a few Resolutions and an Address, which it was his intention to move, to which lie hoped for their cordial concurrence and support. Ile was rather inexperienced in the business ; but be was told that it would be necessary to *hew the Address and Resolutions to the Chair. lie felt that his own honour was concerned, us well as the rights of the Livery. in this affair, and if asked as a matter of personal favour, lie would yield ; but lie declined obedience if required as a matter of authority. Having learned that his Lordship asked it only as a matter of courtesy, he acquiesced.—/'/flue papers were handed to the Lord /Mayor.)—lo the mean time lie could not help remarking on the absurdity of the request. Suppose an amendment were to be offered, would his Lordship require to see that loo? Niliat endless inconvenience might not follow ? He could trust the present Lord Mayor; but had lie been a member of the Corporation is, the last Mayoralty, he could slot have acquiesced. lie . protested against the i eeee ovation. lie then moved he Besot ut ions.—(See Advertisement in first page.) Mr, WETIIIIRSPOON cordially seconded the Re cf,liitiniss which had been so Orly b gin forward. Tile Livery were called upon by the best feelings of loyalty, by their duty as C 111 1 .363111. by their ho nour as men, to support those Resolutions. The Queen's unhesitating conduct in so great a crisis, tier disregard of danger, anal contempt of bribes and dishosiouriug .Weis, were acts which called for the warmest' repressions of loyalty, fur the surest proofs of their attachment. The first principle of nature was to repel oppression Irons themselves ; the present was to assist in its repulsion from others. How much more forcibly ought the latter sentiment to influeoce them when the aggrieved party* was their Queen? in resisting secret inquisitorial proceedings, the Queen was actually vinslicatiug the rights of the people, and doing her best to pre serve unimpaired the first principles of justice. Ile IlleSS descanted on the lute sufferings and per s.cutious of the Queen, and recurring to the pre. h of proceedings instituted against her, expressed Iris hope sod fervent belief that, as before, she would come forth from the trial more pure. The calumnies which now sullied her reputation would pass from it like the vapour breathed on a polish ed mirror, and would return no more. Not a man would be found even to think meanly of her from Penzance to John-o'-Ciroat's. Ile concluded by seconding the Resolutions. Alderman WAITII3I A N said, that although lie had no desire to be an agitator of a public quer boil. yet lie felt bound to avail himself of the op portunity of addressing them in • case of great oppression, so long as the privilege remained to him as an Englishman. He had many regrets. Ile was sorry that the Hall had been so long de layed, that measures had been instituted in Par liameet which it was then too date to attempt to counteract. He regretted that the convening of the Hull had not not been more generally known, which lie attributed to the defective manner of ad. vertising it. They had heard the Resolutions, in which he. as well as they, most perfectly concurred. If they would allow him. and he could venture to do it without danger of a criminal prosecution, he wished to take off his gown.—(Mach lamghter.)— lie did not speak it lightly. It was impossible, according to the doctrines of some, and the swear ing of others, for a man to know when he was safe in speaking his sentiments.—(applause.)— It was unnecessary to seek to make any new im pressions on their minds us to the question before them, because no honest awl disinterested man in the kingdom felt otherwise than they did. But it was necessary to give the expression of their feel ings the utmost effect ; and he should feel it cri minal, after being engaged for so many years in discussion on public topics, it' he withheld his opinions on the present occasion. Recurring to the former proceedings against the Queen, and the Address which the Livery hed carried up on the occasion, the worthy Alderman observed, that the voice of the country 'tweed then her only protec tion, and nothing but a deference for public opinion could shield her from injustice at present. No doubt but they would h- accused, as usu4l„ of clamour and disaffection. It was, iiideed. curious to observe, that those who were denominated Jaco bins, and described as being anxious to pull every thing about their ears, were now the only party en gaged in preserving from injustice and calumny the honour and interests of royally, and were uctuslly reproached for their endeavours in that way as much as they were before for their disaffection to all good governments and principles. Their opinion of the proceedings against the Queen corresponded with that expressed by the House of Common*, who had expressed their desire to be spared the pain of an inquiry which, whatever might be the result, could not but be distressing to her Majesty'r feel ings, disappointing to the hopes of Parliament, de rogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the interests of the empire." The Hall, then, was assembled in aid of the opinion of Parliament. They ought indeed directly to persuade the Govern uncut hum pursuing au inquiry likely to become so generally mischievous. He thought the City Mem bers who had voted for Mr. IVilberforer's motion ought to have attended and expluilied their con duct. Notwithstanding this declaration, however, one of the most contemptible juggles ever attempt ed by delusion was passing before their eyes. The House of Commons had refused to go into the ob noxious inquiry, but the Ministers were at the time actually going oil with that inquiry in the House of Lords, where their influence was greater. What must they think after this of the House of Commons, if they did not meet Ministers with the most determined opposition? Were the Queen as guilty us her enemies represented her, they would only feel for her the deepest sorrow mid commisera tion. ‘l'here was the man whose heart was so hard, whose feelings were so obdurate that lie could re frain Irons shedding tears over her persecutions aid misfortunes, and not wish, if she were guilty, to draw a veil over her frailties? An Hon. Baronet, whom lie wished to have seen resew, hail acknowledged that the Queen hail been grossly, infamously, and abominably treated, and that her persecution was shameful. Still lie had thought that it was not a subject for the Livery to discus% It was a gars , lion, as he said, tike the quarrels between man soul wife, and theft describing a scratched face, which he had fortnerly acquired on such an occasion, con tented himself with shrinking out of the scrape, and leaving the oppressed to make their own cause good. Supposing the Queen to be as guilty as he believed her to be innocent, still she was entitled to that forbearance until proved guilty, which belonged to the meanest individuals, even when accused of the greatest criminality. Fur his own part lie haul only one opinion from tirst to last. Ile looked upon her persecution to be the same sort of conspiracy which bud formerly Impel her. There seemed to be still a determination to hunt her down, mid no thing but the voice of a free and generous people could save her. He adverted to the degrading propositions which had been made to her. and the proceedings which had been instituted out her ar rival. He had been told, lie could not answer for the truth of the statement, that the Queen had sent a sealed paper down to the Secret Com mittee of the Lords, which that Committee hind refoned even to open. The Livery were called on to chew their sense of such partial and inquisi tminl proceedings, and set the country, which gene rally took the tone of the metropolis. an example of opposition to it. He was really astonished that people professing a sypetior sanctity of manners and of religious k e ti ng would do nothing to remove the only obstacle to an adjustment. He alluded to the restoration of the Queen's twine to the Liturgy. They refused to pray for her sinful soul (if elich• they would have it) ; an act winch would cost them and which the principles of their religion actually required of theta ; and then they went up with an Address, thinking to practise oft her igno rance or ei iiiplici ty, and request her to put up with the oraiesion. Ile would iisve this question put 19 such people. As they had only to allow the prayer to be resumed to remove every obstacle to adjustment, he I would ask why would they not spare the country the nomina l a.—why would they not avert from the Crown the indignity why would they not prevent the injury to the intereste of the empire, all of which they had stated us unavoidable results of the Manure, by asking the King to restore the name " of the Queen to the form of the Common Prayer ?

But I challenge all those who accuse or suspect me of any wickedness in my intentions.-1. tell them fearlessly, that if they have acted from as good and sound motives durisig the whole of their public lives, they will he satisfied at the slow of them that they have done well. It was impossible, from the knowledge which I had of the situation of the Queen, months and months ago, not to have acted as I have dime. And Ido ►ry, that if Minis tens themselves knew, as I did, of the stratagems and crafty wickedness which have been used to keep her out of the kingdom, they would give me their cordial thanks fur prever JJ iJJ g it. There was no merit in my doing this; there is nut a 111111 in the kingdom but would have done the same under the like circumstances. l base done my best in this case, arid it it has not agreed with 4. perfect and absolute. wisdom." it has been done agreeably to the honest dictates of say heart : nor can I find one motive of an interested nature wherewith to charge myself during the whole pro gress of the case.

I am of opinion that the Queen never must leave this country again. I tell you this with confidence, I tell the whisk kingdom, and I would tell the Queen herself, that had she accepted any of those degradinu conditions which were offered to her, so as to compromise her honour and dignity, the attachment and sentiments of duty which I feel towards her (I speak of such a regard as becomes a subject to entertain fur his Queen) should not have induced me to take any step to wards her, rescue, nor should they have prevented me from going down to the House. and opposing to the utmost of my abilities, the grant even of a thousruid pounds; I would not have consented to an allowance of one shilling. She has nothing to depend on but the good-will of the people—she has no other chalice in coping with her persecutors. I shall ray nothing now of the circumstances. At present I believe her to be one of the moat injured persons in the whole world. IVlren she was irr this country before. surd had just escaped from the snares of her enemies, I had the honour of proposing the Resolutions and Address which were agreed tow the Common Hall of that period. They were followed by a general expression of similar sentiments throughout. I find the same feeling prevail at pre scut. I receive daily from twenty to thirty letters from all quarters of the country, which prove to me that the public mind is entirely in her favour. They all express the same earnest hope and confi dent belief which we entertain, that the Queen will come out from this renewed trial of her enemies with us much triumph as before."—The worthy Alderman then returned thanks for the humour which had been done him by the Livery, and re tired amidst very loud and continued applause. The other Resolutions were, after a few words, agreed to. A disturbance took place in the Hall in conse quence of the Lord Mayor hating acknowledged that he had sent for some troops to secure the peace. and his Lordship woe assailed with cursor derable clamour on entering his coach and retiring from the Hell. BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. In consequence of • Requi s • • n, most numerously and respectably signed, having been presented to John Pros cep, F.sq. the High Bailiff; iu the course of last week, a meeting of the inhabitant householders of the tows. and borough of Southwark, was held yesterday in _the Court_ (louse at the Town Hall, fur the purpose of voting a an Address of Congratulation to her Majesty Queen Caroliue, use her arrival in this country?' At half-past twelve the High Bailiff, accompanied by Sir Robert Wilson and Mr. Calvert (the Borough Members), Solomon Davies, Esq. Mr. Arrowsenith, Mr. Gillies, Mr. Black, Dr. Wall, Su-. See, entered the Hall, and some disap probation having been manifested at the lateness of the hour, Mr. CALVItAT begged to assure them, that the delay was awing to a misconception on his part, having understood from his Hon. Colleague the preceding night, in the House of Commons, that the meeting bad been postponed till next Tuesday ; but the moment be was informed of the contras) , (which was but ball sa hour before) be made all the baste in his power to meet them.--(Applonse.) The HIGH Ramer having taken the Chair, caused the Requisition to be read, after which he shortly addressed the meeting, recommending therm to abstain as much as possi ble from intemperate or personal language, and to comfitse themselves to the isonsetliate subject of the Requisition. Mr. SOLOMON DAVIE, Ikea presented hinraelf,aud proposed the Address, which was so drawn up that he felt cuelident no discussion could arise upon it. The subject before them was fraught with such toonsestous interest, and was of so very delicate • nature, that • matt scarcely knew how to proceed upon it, especially as • convenient custom had loug existed of taxing. every person who took any share in public business (particularly if against his Majesty's Mi nisters), with being disaffected towards the Goveronsesit— but for hie own part Ite would not bow to any man in loyally and attachment to the King and the laws, uur love of his eons try. Having said thus much, he cared nut what observations. Isis conduct on the present occasion might give rib* to. All those who had paid soy attention to the politics oldie last tweuty years moat have some idea of the Qeseru'a event ful history. They usual recollect the conspiracy of the Dustglassies and others, which ended in the total discomfiture of those creatures, and the perfect entabliahmeat of her Ma jesty'a honour. After such a sigma defeet,oue 'mold hardly suppose that Ministers would venture the same farce again, but they had all no doubt heard of the greet, bag.—(/.oar( largliter.)—He cuuhl slut tell them what it was, but nothing was now talked of but green bags and protocols (a word which' had lately been dragged from obscurity, and like its coadjutor 11w green hag, wasnow in every body's mow h.—(fit. creased laugh/es..)—But what would they thiuk if this green bag had actually been filled at Milan ?—(1Ieor, bar.) — strange as it Might appear it was true, and he had nu doubt but the Learned Gentleman at the head of the CONSOMMOO 6•J taken care to cram it with all the filth of that city, fur, an far as be was able to learn, • green bag was one of the fillhiest things in the world —.(l applause.) —Alter not Irish to do so on the presentivestion. No subject that lie had ever known, none that he bad ever thought of, or read of, equalled the sufferings and conduct of this unhappy, injured, and innocent Queen. The time was come for the people to call on the Parliament to tell them to look at their own worthy, and to ask them if they would not demand that the country should he spared an inquiry, which they described as of such portentous and evil tendency, by making a con cession for the demand of which nu re:nnni aught to have existed. lie hoped the voice of the Livery. expressed in decent and submit:sive terms, would be conveyed to the kit of the I-louse. The Resolutions were then about to he put. Alderman Roinwri.t. objected to their being put altogether. Many persons sought agree to the first five, who would not like to assent to the sixth. The first live Resolutions were then put, and agreed to unanimously. Mr. FA•ELL congratulated the Livery on the accession of two powerful and eloquent members to their body (the Mover and Seconder). As to the objection of the worthy Alderman (Rothwell) to the 6th Resolution, it tray right to allow every man un opportunity of giving his reasons; but he knew not how the Alderman could make out a case to shew that they ought not to agree to the 6th Resolution, which went merely to embody the sentiments expressed in the first live, by pro., posing au . Address. lie thought that Minis ters took a must extraordinary course to pro tect the dignity of the Crown. If the people of England were really of a Republican spirit, they could not wish fur any thing snore suit able to their views than the attempts to degrade the Queen of England ; but they were a brave and loyal people, and they shewed their spirit in pro tecting her from injustice. They felt that if once the ill treatment of a Queen could be allowed to pass into a precedent, it might happen that Kings themselves would by and by be made light of. He would by anti by propose that a deputation should wait on the Queen, consisting of the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and 150 of the Livery. After rub°. gizing the conduct of Alderman Wood, he con cluded by moving the sixth Resolution. Alderman RottuwELL contended, that the time was improper fur carrying sly the Address, and that it was prejudgiog one of the high paities cosicerned to pronounce upon the guilt or inuocence of the other. In the absence of evidence, with such col lision of opioitot, and such unfortunate ignorance of the case at issue, he thought it disagreed with their own argument to give a decided opinion. Mr. Minim' argued, that it wag hot to decide on the case, but to protest against the mode of trying it, the Livery were then about to do. The argument of the worthy Alderman went further, perhaps, than he wished. It was just such as Mi nisters must like. "Stay the expression of your opinion until the Queen is quietly beheaded, and then you may speak as much as you will." Now, the value of public opinion lay chiefly in the promptitude of its effect. Useless, indeed, would it be to know what .was good to be done, if the proper opportunity for doing it were to be neglected. Ile was proceeding to comment on what he called the inquisitorial inquiry instituted by Parliament, when The LORD MAYOP, called him to order. Ills Lordship -had an important duty to perform, and while he had life he would fulfil it.
