'rho Ward protests with honourable - indignation against the disgraceful: anti sedition; Address with which a certain party in the Common Council insulted the King sitting; upon his Throne. There was one point in that Address which,. as tee did not particularly comment on it at the time, fit •maY be proper for us now to notice. The framers of the Address presmaed to tell their Sovereign, that his Ministers, in offering the Queen a certain sum of money for her current expenses intuit Parliament should determine on her future provision, had arbitrarily assumed a power of disposing of -the public money without the stothority',,Vars {lament. Were - these Gentlemen merely ignorans.,,Wl/id they- wilfully conceal the fact that by a Resolution of the House of Commons, dat,,l on the fith of last illy, rttyd con firmed by a subsequent Act of Parliament, which Act pasted the Commons on the tails of the same month, the suits of rzon,uoot. Was grantrA to bus Majssty.towards satistykryg cer tain annuities, -and.iilso to enable his Majesty to make such advances. as might be necessary for the expellees of the. Queen, until-Pachanient should make other provision in re spect thereof ? [The Times.] The freqneticy of LOyal. Addresses, technically so called, and the Mode it, which flier are concreted and expressed, will natttraliy surprise Owe who, line, ourselves, see no thing in them but insult to many of our fellow-subjects, and deeided impertinence towards the King. His Majesty has not 4e,eit seated on the throne of his ancestors tweley - months; and will it be credited by posterity that ! two ad dresses front the same bodies of men have been presebtod: to the-throne ? the Obje'ct of the former proper and praise worthy ; - lint the ether called forth . by no possible contingency • or s ye of pirblic affairs.. We argue not now with ministerial' scribes, tont with the_ reasonable class of our countrymen, stbic,h, iii spite uf . ~3inistrripl. inllrrrnce, composes the majorit y of this great nation : and we ask,them, is it riot strange, that `l - 01,4 me addresses of• loyalty and adulation should be voted, and.repeatedly carried to the King, by those whose loyalty, has oerer been once called in question ? Why do the cot ,.ries,• whose proceedings .are enveloped in all the usystery If the council of ten, and, like those of the same council, obsei rattle in their. efi'ects, arrange their. plans in • silence—prohibit discussion—and, alter all, produce in the irrelevant expression of their locally an ideuticat proposit ion = t he teeth of which neither their Sovereign alit their neighbours ever dotibied? Surely peiblic demOtistrsa tions of- loyally would satisfy the Monarch, even on the score of trouble, is they were annual--unless, iudeed, it sTerc arranged that a general .eioholowledgment of attachment to the King and Ministry should be subscribed and regularly , 11c•;,oiosterov.d..on the receipt of each dividend at the Bank.— Unnecessary as these addresses are, yet we have another otwil of ; e9m t daint against them—Why are they exclusive ? What right has soy, set of individuals to assume to themselves the C•le!.usirte. title of loyal ? And why a:'e the invitations to join these, loyal meetings not universal ? Jf we understand tilt/se principles of joystiee and fair dealing whiCh ought to 4 actuate man on his conduct towards•his-fcllows, we Maintain !bat oa partial. invitation ta, join in this great work of politica! homage is a direct violation of those principles, and that ill.- dividual, Omission is es general stigma...and insult. the commercial world we should luoliaviti, tut?. ,tli.„eAldness of that man cane, proclaimed, two or three times.

It may, and no doubt will, be said by the .Jacobin part of the press, that the crisis is dangerous—that the tide of ;popular reeling sets in strong to uphold the Queen—and that the King . deserves to receiyc assut Ince, of thealleginnee and attachment bf his subjects. To thisaloct rine we partially agree. The features-of the present. times arc overcast; the aspect of aKitirs is gloomy; tontwho prodoced all this ?

We yield nut to the hest paid hireling of the TON - esti:7 in rational respect for the Sovereign of England,; and pre cisely for this reason are we tile more indignant that the com mencement of his itign should have been ushered . in by the foul attempt on the part of Ministers to degrade his Consort. and bx upon himself an " ill oriental" name. We ve nerate the King—the head and supporter Of our lairs and liber ty---and we are not aware that. the Constittotioon a.knowledges any other. It is' only alien the machinations or wicked counsels of his advisers are likely to infringe those laws, to abridge that liberty, that' we fearlessly enter our protest.-- The late ill-judged arid miconstittrional proceedings against her Majesty. met with our unqualified do.approloation ; and their signal failure deserved, and received tier exultation in common with that of our fellow-countrymen : but in per using, the Loyal Addresses, we are particularly struck with the singular fact that no allusion avhatever is made to the Queen's case,. or tine conduct of his Majesty's Ministers. , ---; While adulation pours forth its choicest strains, and each • rounded period declares . attachment end fealty, no syllable of congratulation is inserted ro his'Majesty on the escape of his Illnstrions Consort.
