Her Majesty's gracious Answer to the Address
from the Inhabitants of Tewkesbury :
_

retiun my unfeigned floosies to the Inhabitants of
Tewkesbury suit itb vicinity, fur Ibis loyal and affretious:e
Address.

The defenders of constitutional liberty were never so
nunieruirs as at the present period. The unjustifiable
titlark spun my ri;hts has caused them to rise tip, not
merely is detached inslasscem, but in numerous bodies, in
twiny part of the kiegiluin. Errol, city, burnsigh, tows, end
village swarms with ti.e patriotic vindicators of the Qmees's
rights soil of the 1.4i11.111.N liberties. The rights of the Qemen
rise hi importance its propos lion as they are connected with
the liberties of the nation. Liberty is the greatest of all
blessings, fur without it no other can he permanent or se.
cure. Who would nish to have his properly or his life de.
pt nilont on the arbitrary will of an individual?

The G li,.t ing is her Maksty'!. Aii4sser to the
Addrr.s or the Inhabitant• of Cricklade :-
1 trairfally servo this loyal *net alr,ctiourate Address
from Ow I.ohabtvints of Cricklade.

Nly rights are a part of the rights of the nation. To in-
vade the rights of the Queen Consort is to make a lawless
inroad into the domain of national liberty. My enemies,
certainly, tholight me incapable of vindicating either my
personal honour or my legitimate dignities. They hair
found both superior to their violent sod malicious aggres-
sions. The hearts of the people are sty security against
every fur.
No Sovereign ran reign is 'trinity except his dominion
Is establsahed in the affections of hi. subjects. That throne
which is maintained by taro must be amociated with the in-
security of fear. To recline on • chair of state, round
which iumitum able jealousies are entwined, and numberless
suspicions swarm, i. to sujoy the parade of royally, not only
at the expense of repose, but of all that can make life
sweet. Carr. is 110 less c.ire though it is decorated o ill. gold ;
nor ore the ordinary inyilietudes of life soothed into repose
by the mantle of imperial magnificence.

incorporated "I'rsrles or the Burgh or I;antt :
I ern greatly obliged by the loyal and affeetiintate Ait.lresa
hum the Csarreser, I)eacniis, and Siesiebrrs of the six lueur-
perssesiTrodes of the Boyal Burgh of Banff, in Common

I have lung been environed by &aria of every specie.
that art or malice could contrive; but l fort that I pusses•
a rampart of secririty in the air:elitism of the people. The
people eery justly consider their rights to be endangered by
the usicomnitulienal attack upon mine The rights of the
Queen are shoat of the Halsor, ; and, if an uneoustitsitieual
poems ern be exerted to destroy the oily, it may, bereafter,be
employed for Ilse destruction of the other. The chivalrous
spirit that has been Mr 'ores! by the inspirers' oppressive, ulthe
Queen, is highly honourable to the moral and t►e patriotic
Irselingsof the people. I ant Only li,ppy to find this spirit at
genes ally prevalent in the uortls ; inl I trust that it augurs
the most favourable result, nut wily for ilw perm:isomer,
but the culargessient of those coartisistional liberties, to
procure which so much of the lost blood of Britain has
been formerly shell.

PETITION OF MR. TUCKER, AGAIN'S'? PAN" Mtn
PENALTIFN RI lA.—PRESENTED TO THE tiOCSI:
OF COMMONS.

A Petition of Andrew (4411 in Costal Tucker. of
Ai'Munroe, Devon, Comilla-mot, was presented athl
read ; setting forth, That the Pe►itiourr havitog
discovered that the pretence which is made tke
foundation of the Bill of Pains and Priorities egaiast

days that are peat, who were WI '4410104S to prevent

deems ininreguatilr, and which, if well forsaidefl,
will at mice evince the twee-0y of crushing
a Bill, that has already aliskrn both the Altar and
the Throne. By the Saxoei laws, adultery was at
one tone punished as an offence like homicide ;
at other times by the exile of the male offender,
and the loss of nose and errs of the female ; modern
refinement and modern profligacy have emulsified to
strip of iticinfamy tlw most ififamoirs of crime,, anal
tit► the di.groce of the Legislature and the Law, the
severest injury to the happiness of families is
'moo: shed by pecuniary compensation, measured by
the standard ufa civil atiiuu. Before the Statute or ,1

guished by their enormity, others by their isfaigni-
liaciee, but the adultery of a Queen Comical brit%
a nigh offence against the Majesty of the King, mud
destructive of the repose of society, was juatly deem-
ed a crime of lire ill•sjestt. Sir Mattlittv Hate re-
marks, that the violation of the Qrseetes person was
high treason at common law ; and Sir Edward Coke
observes, that the consent of the Queen to the act
of adultery is high urinal in her ; the Astute of
'2sth Edward 111. which, as to this question, was
merely declaratory of the vault-non hsw, comets, that
the violation of the King's companion, or of the
King's el,k.t daughter unmarried, or of the wife
of the King's eldest son and heir, shall Ise treason.
The Petitioner begs leave to fohtery;., that .11eitgli ties
statute was made to preVelll constructive treasons, a
Queen Consort guilty of adultery wit's' a subject
owing allegiance to the crown, can under its enact-
mentt be rendered crir ll i tt al by coorstructiori •alone ;
it it aimed ngsin•t the violator, and as such subject
would by the violation be guilty of high treason, the
Queen as a party to the deed hecomea amenable,
because the law conaiders all parties iii treason as
imncipals. Our law honks offer abossidence of proofs
of the little attention paid to the semis of that sta-
tute: ',crows were punislod /ratters for r Moser s
not within its embrace; it contains one section of the
utmost impoitiowe, wloch expre►sly reserve. to
Parliament the 'lower of deterniming whether a
crime is or is not (reason, in these words : " Ain!
because that many other like cases of treason may
happen sit tittle to. come, which a Inielle:1111101 thus L•
moor declare at this psesent time, it is accorded,
That if any other case of euppotrd treason, which
is not shove aperitif d, d. th happen before any J 0...
tiers, the Justices shall tarry, without any going to
judgment of the treason, till the cause be sheet d
and declared before thr King and Isis Parliament,
whether it ought to be judged treason or other le-
lony." Between the period that gave birth to the
Act of the 9.5111 Edward 111. and the shame of the
Ist Edward VI. c. 13, iturnerons treasons wets crewed
by the Legislature, but the latter Act abolished all
!brae new-fafigled crimes, and left treason alit *toed
under the 95th Edward 111. with the exrep•ion
of the caselby the new Act iutroduced At the ac-
cession of Mary, it was reacted, " That too act or
deed, or ollence being made treason, petit treason,
.or ustsprii of treason, by wilting, cyphering, or
otherwise, should be so deemed, but only risers 3IA
a►e an declared by the statute of Edward III."
The Petitioner begs permission further to (observe,
that its the reign of Charles the Second, Lord
Datiby was accused of criminally c•orrespondint,'
with the French Court ; the King exerted himself
to shelter his Lordship, fur reasons now well under-
stood ; the profligacy of that Nlosiarch was out coo-
fiord to his black deeds ut home ; the same
arguments were used in Earl Denby's favour as
have been offered to demonstrate the necessity of the
Bill of Pain* and Nominee against the Queen; but
even then the law triumphed over eloconery. and Ito
unusual sturdiness in the Pailienirfot overthrew the
designs and the influence of the Court : Burnet thus
relates the circumatatier " The Earl of Dolby's
party was much confounded; they could soriihrir
deny nor justify his letters, but they argued that
they could soot be high treason, since no ►uch
fact was comprehended in any of the statutes of
treason. Maynard, aso atociesit tool e 11l i ll rot law.
jer, exploilird the words of the statute 951 k Ed-
ward 111. that rile Churls of Law could not pro-
ceed but ui one of the crime* there enume-
rated ; but the Parliament had still a power,
by the clause in that Act, to declare what they
thought was treason. After a long debate, it was
voted, by a majority of above seventy voices,
that Lord Denby should be Impeached for high
(remises' ; sad the isupeachment was next dry
tarried up to the Lords." Thus the Petitioner ha.
shown that the pretence for not impeaching the
Queen is merely s preteace; that the fallacious
