Printer, to hrr MAJESTY :
YR RU MOST GRACIOUS 'IA./I.'l*Y. CAROLINR, QIACEN

CONSORT OF OITA! IRITAIN.

May it please your Majesty,
Wt, your Majesty's dutiful soil loyal Subjects, the Li?.
I'Llt Pam PRINTIRs of London and its Environs, humbly
•pproach your Majesty with one ardent congratulations on
your Majesty's safe arrival iu this country, and sccessiou to
the throne of three realms.
He present ourselves before your Majesty with mingled feel-
iogs of admiration and regret :—admiration, excited by
truly British spirit manifested by your Majesty under indig-
nities and oppressions unparalleled ;—regret, that, in oath.
lion to the calamitous dispensation.; of Omnipotence, an es-
exalted a mind should have been altitude. d by the systenistic
persecutions of those, from whom your Majesty might have
expected consolation in the hoar of salirtiou, rather than
lire withering fiowit of unrelenting malevolence.
Participating in that intense feeling on sour Majesty's be-
half, which the cooduet of your Majesty's enemies ha: so
forcibly excited througlvesery rank of society, and which is
3.0 where more conspicuously displayed than in the efforts of
that Press, which, in advocating your alajeviy'a cause, so
enerzetically sustains the declining liberties of England ; We,
the bumble instillments of that mighty power, respectfully
vaporetto our fervent hope, that your Majesty, triumphing
user your ensnare, may speedily enjoy those dignities and
huaoura which are due to the Queen of this great Empire.
On • former occasion, obey the basest calumnies were
Industriously circulated, and charges affecting your Majes-
ty's life were maliciously adduced, our hearts were with you.
That • foul coaspiiacy was Owls detected, is beyond the
power of your Majesty's most inveterate enemies to deny.
The highest Officers of the State pronounced it aloud; and
although the solemn record fur a time silenced the tongue of
Slander, still the simple tact, thst the perpetrators of SU
heinous • crime were never brought to condign punislimeat,
convinced the patina at large that there existed sormwrialla
• relentless thaposit fon to sanction, and power to protect, the
most daring and unjust attacks on your Majesty's character
load person. If such were then our conviction, in common
with oar fellow-couutrymen, how can we now otherwise view
the pending proreediags, than as a continuation of that eye-
tem of unmerited persecution, which has never ceased to
banal your Majesty's footsteps.
‘Vhe• the Almighty was pleased to bereave an admiring
and expectant people of your amiable Daughter, " the Lope
of many nations,' we deeply sympathised with the heart-
broken Mother—that Mother • wanderer in • distant laud.

When the late King, our moral and revered Monarch,
roiled his weary pilgrimage among us, we felt that your Ma.
jesty had tudeed been deprived of a Father sad Protector;
and that the 111 sellia•tioati of your Majesty's enemies would
Ivoiceforth take a more decided lout :—pasaing events have
justified our frays; fur the very day which saw the remains
of the virtuous Monarch conaigned to the tomb, beheld ".the
Emmy at the gate."
Iu future times, should the page of History record Hie pre.
s•at era as one io which overwhelming power cosnloued
with senatorial venality to crush an unprotected Female, we
trust it will also preserve the gratifying remembi Fuer, that
tar base compiling" was defeated by the irresistil,te force of
public opinion, directed and thopinyed through the powerful

Tu which her —MAJESTY resumed the following

♦irune.
It is poblic opinion which has supported ow in the other-
wise ourquA conflict with aumerous adversaries, who cot
wily lumens unbounded resonetes, but who have pewee
scrupled any means by which their veuratare reeld be
gratified. poblic °pion's is the cuiseentrated force of

There is a part of the Press which Ms heels beady tin-
played in fabricating the most atrocious deaden ageism*
myself, and all who have niaairested any seal or ability in
nsy defence. Base natures calinot torture natures of a
higher order. They loathe t►e moral and intellectual
superiority that they caw never reach. Hems* calumny is t►e
tax that worthlessness is perpetually levyieg spot► worth. It
is the Bill of Pain■ and Penalties that irevy sod inslevolesce
are ever busily labouring to pass, is conk, to degrade virtue
sad sabots to their own coutemplible inferiority. Bel when
I consider that my adversaries are invested with all the
►atronage of the country, and possess each extensive meows
of insimidatioss and corruption, I am sot surprised that
I should have been vilified by • few of their unprincipled
mercenaries. My surprise i., that the greater part of the
person engaged in the conduct of the Press should have
remained incorrupf nod iocorruptib!e. It is a great homer
to be barest its any times—het, to be honest is bad times,
is a species of psuegyric which nu seal need blush to lave

Liberty has left. If we lose t►is, we lose all. We.lsave

but to the scree, of the Press ? The force of truth is alb.
mairly irresistible ; but truth, without some adveatitious aid,
moves with a slue, pace, and sometimes its motion is so
slow as to he imperceptible. The Press is its accelerating
power. The Press gives it wings. The Press dues more for
troth in • day, than nacre oral teaching could in • century.
What is it that has made the members of 51w

spired the lure of Liberty eves in the 'weed.
