[Conclusion of the Second Day's proceedings.] ( - 7'. be twrittimudJ MEETING TO ADDRESS THE QUEEN. ST. JAMES'S PARISH. Yesterday a meeting of the inhabitants of this parish was held in the room •t 4', Brewer -street, pursuant to advertisement. to consider of an Ad dee,' of Condolence and Congratulation to her Ma jesty the Queen. At one o'clock the C oininittee mitered the room, where the parishioners bald assembled in consider able numbers. They vre. , e accompanied by several gentlemen of consequence belonging to the parish. On the motion of Mr. PERRY. Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT took the Chair. After apologising for his ditflciency. he proceeded to the object of the meeting. It had been the cus tom at 111 times to eddrem the members of the Royal Family. tither on their arvivel in this country, or any Important occasions of regret or congratula tion, which gave an opportunity for the people to skew their sympathy and loyalty. There were peculiar reasons why this practice should be pre served with respect to the Queen. It was now ups wards of is quarter of is century slime that ill-fated end illustrious 'Lady, the object of so much reve renci%, liist sit her foot cm the English shore. H e had seen et she time she was in the bloom of health, beauty. and intelligence. The lumpiest presigeo were funned on the union of the future So vereign with such a Lady. Unhappily a nunoh, " a little month" had barely elapsed when her husbind did not hesitate to ►ay that lie was tired td' her. She was turned from her hut baod's threshold, es had been most eloquently eapressed'Uy a Member of the House of Commons, with her child at hei bock, upon the wide world. From that time Yr the present she had been set round with spies sad informers, those Meatless, busy pests of the human race. He spoke lings of them in the preach case, because. though they •tight ire ounietinies useful i• the direct hoe of their calling. that of deiectiog guilt, in miscral they were foetid nut to 'Where to the strict line of their duty, but when they found nu crime toasting, either to excite the commission of it or invest IL This had bee. wildfowl by i.e. as well es limed, during an investigation at the Polies system Wars the Holm. •f COMMONS, when it was see. what had been heusethe about is lbe way of instigating crime by a Ile noses," as they were milled, of the system. Let theme look at she Queen's enemies, and it would be seen that their " tomes" bad been no less active thaw those of Bow-street, er any other office. At that early period they heels by punting Immune' afloat, which they managed to streozoliess until they felt safe in orgine a direct charge. A pregeorney was sworn to, nut by Italian witioeses, bid (he blushed so say it) by Combat' men and women bearing titles. Ow in erstirstiois it was proved to he a false, moot, and atrocious fabrication. It so happeued, that although the swearing was ineffectual, as to proving the fact, it bail not even the effect of bringing punishment back Oil the perjurers- Bet Billie law terabit nut reach them something else did. Ors the 4th of hose, 1811, Sir John Dangles, then ars officer of marines, was created a Major.Georral in the army. He would not say what effect it mutt .have on other., to see that they had 'oohing to fear from failure in such neelersalt legs, and that the favours of the Court were in no wise len accessible than before. From that time the illustriorie ob. ject of their humasee was driven aeol separated from the rank which she might to have held, and would so greatly have ornamented. Even her eitein es described her as " the grace, ornament, and IS:" of that society. She was shut out from her proper rank and councesorra. Bet her tee. live mind would not suit r her to mope like • guilty thing :‘ she surrounded herself with p4lllOllll of science soul talent, who, shone, of an humble reek, were distisiserielwd by thew mental endowments. She did not disgrace het self by coneleseendiug to minele in a grade of society berrenth that in which she belonged. or if any disgrace attached, it must be to her enemies. With her it was not matter of choice, but compul . Her persecutors, and the advice uf pre tended friends, induced leer to go abroad; her sojournisigs were marked by the benedictines of the good and worthy in all the places through which she passed. The slime of slats threes was also to he traced there. How could ire describe them! Men of rank there certainly were, together with pick locks sod nit f forged notes: the worst re fuse of the outset mass Its conjunction with meta prufeasins honour and arms. He need not remind then* of her losses; father, bro ther, daughter, and Ism, though out kilt, a Sovereign whose character would emblazon hi-tury, who was besides her best shield, her surest defeuce. Ceupled with this last evens, and on the very day of the ohscquies, did they trace the brat conference with that villain Slajocehi at Carlton House. Ile would hasten to the proud et:elmet of the Queen of Custom!. He passed by the injuries and insults which she receivad from Ministers. Let them behold her conduct wheal just calf the shore of England. Offers were made; if the would cou seut to live abroad, boundless wealth and immunity ; taw the other band, impeachment and infamy ureic threatened. What a glorious determination! To reject the bribe, to re pel the threat, to jump into the heat boat sod assist en treating with her foe in Euennel ! As to the proceedings which had taken place since, lie solemnly protested against theme as genres and nusnifest violations of the laws—as the worst viulattue of them which be bail ever read of. The essential distinction between on arbitrary gerreetimetet and one of laws was this : in the former, the property, life, aril liberty of the individual were subject to the will of gle=e in power ; in the teemed case, they were vuly subject to laws which had been devised through the wisdom uf ccccc Mate ages. What anllllolllallitll piece of tyranny was here ! The threat of impeathment fur high treason was abaaduued. It was admitted that there was no Wieser against the laws. The case could Out be brought into the Ecclesiastical Course, because the husband would not come forward. What sheet was to be dune ? The laws were to be set at nought, mid a measure carried against the Constitution ; although tau crime against the laws were charged, before any accusation hail been made, without judgment given or verdict recorded, • Hill was brought in to degrade her frum leer rank, to strip her uf her rights, and to dissolve the solemn marriage tie. The Lady was nut even cited to appear; and then of what mature was the constitution of the Court ? By the saws of the land Judges were to be cleat of any in terert—they were matte indepeseleut of the Crown—. they were not allowed to preside in the counties ID which they were Lora—they could slut kedge eases in which they bad an interest. Hitt here the Judges had the witnesses in their pay and employment, besides which, malty of them had a deep interest in she acquirement of a cutiviction. If the charge failed they would be subject to impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanors. His coeschashos wan, that • fair trial before such • tribunal was impsmsible, mid if a majority were obtained serest the Queen, it would be, as it ought to he, disregarded by the country. As to the witnesses, they were well fell and paid fur their services, that their es retrace would be refused in any other GAUL If a witness in the continues Courts was Imams to receive more fur his attendance than his graveness; expenses, and a bare curopeusation fur loss of time, it vitiated his testimony, ad did out amount to subornation of perjury. Here were a pack of vagaboads—ltalian skippers and ostlers, fellows that required to be washed and scraped, before they were decent eutougli to be seen. One of these received mule than aa Admiral of toll rank on active service during war. Another, a stable fellow, bail been living with a clergyman at the rate ,of live guineas • week, fur himself and valet: illy, this would semi thews out of any Covet in the country. Sell-con victed perjuries had been committed by these wit . It was tedious to repeat them, but lie would *sleet an example or two. Majocehi bad swore to having mess the Princess go into Berganst's bed-room through a rouge of rooms, to which there was but woe passage. The went day, being hard pressed, he acksiowledged that there was another passage through which the Princess might have gone without being stew. Now if ibis were gut perjury, as &Sued by the statute, he knew nothing jhat could be so called. They hail a right to complain, &cause in Islay other Court such a witness would have been committed fur trial. The news of his rouvictiou would have hese spread among his comrades, concocting iu Cottou-garden, awl the greater part of that noitsionie ebsceutty, with which the country had been infested, would Lever have been known. Let them observe, 100, Urniunt's double sulendre, which, when called upon, she could not explain nor describle the pretended private mark. 11'ould this be tolerated iu •uy other Court of Justice? Hut all these perjuries admitted as good evidence, did slut amount to a proof of adultery. There was only what had been called by the Attorney-Gerund " a reasuuable infereuire."— Why was this? The instrumtet• were well-paid spies and iuformers, who bad been busy, by their own accuuuts, ils peeping through keyholes and cracks in walls and wain. sent.. It was strange that tau one could speak to the fact of adultery. This citemustatice was taken advantage of. It was said, that the Queen was too wary ; besides, the caution of the witnesses was held to be prool of their f airmen. He could not give them PO much credit. Had they spoken clesorly of (sets they must have specified time and place, amt. would bare been answerable directly for the offence of per jury.
