THE QUEEN.

The Sawyers of London and its vicinity presented
an Address to her MAJESTY vesterday—a numerous
body of them attended. The deputation did not
p toceed along the Si rand, the u►ual route .but went
by Holborn. Her MAJZsTT returned the following
Answer :

" f am much obliged by this affectionate Address from
the operative Sawyers of Loudon, Westminster, Southwark,
and the Dock-yards upon the River Thames. The late con-
spiracy against my honour and my peace was defeated by
the union of the people—tho people flirt all their political
differences while they were generously defending a vilified
woman and • persecuted Queen. The bad passions were
never more Wildman! in our port of the rommunity, nor the
kindrr and better feelings more sublimed in another. The
people should never emun to remember that the great victory
which they !lien aclii.ved, they achieved by union, and that
it is nothing but the t thorough and entire co-operation
of men of all setts and parties that ever can enable the brit
part of the nation to triumph over the worst, or the upright
and patriotic to prevent their degradation by the proiligste
and corrupt.
a During the performance of the solemn ceremonial on
the 19th, I trust that the people will conduct themselves
with an order, n forbearance, and a moderation, that will
completely falsify the evil forebodings of their enemies. The
hest friends of liberty are always the most iletermioril
opponents of violence and eunfission—awarrhy cum profit
none but our enemies. It is their hope. hut it is tour fear;
it is our lose, brat it is their gain. If the enemies of the
people are crafty, let the people themselves be wise; without
wisdom and without virtue, which is a part of wisdom, li-
berty is but a delusive show, or an intoxicating sound :
while we prefer realities to shadows, let us leave It to our
enemies to mistake shadows fur realities. The eternity of
freedom does not consist is the pageant of a day. II am de-
liberately excluded from the Coronation, while some of the
satellites of the Holy Alliance are eourtemisly invited to the
apectack; and it is devoutly to be wished that it may teach
them more highly to •alne the rights of iistious, and more
sincerely to respect the liberties of mankind. The love of
the people is the strength of Sovereigne, and the glory of
Kings."

HIS MAJESTY'S VISIT TO SCOTLAND.

It is confidently reported that his Majesty in-
tends to honour this ancient city with his presence,
on his town front Ireland. A plan of the Palace
of Huilyrood-house has been sent him, with which
his Majesty was highly pleased. It is likewise re.
parted, that some furniture, intended for the ac-
commodation of the Emperor, of Russia and Aus-
tria, and the King of Prussia, when in this cowl.
try, will immediately he shippied for Edinburgh,
and placed in the Palace of our ancient Kings.
In corroboration of this report we may add, that
lest night (Thursday, the lith inst.) on parade,
the Lord President stated to his regiment, the
Royal Edinburgh Volunteers, that it was confi-
dently believed by item:iris in high official situations,
that his Majesty intended to visit this country, and
that in that case he may he expected about the first
week of September. He farther desired that it
'should be understood that any recruits that should
cutter at present would be brought forward to join
the battalion on that occasion.—(Adialrargh Star.)
