ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN.

• -
_ - _

OUR renders will peruse with pleasure the pro
ceedings at the Common Hall, held on Wednesday
last at Norwich. We could have wished that a
City in which the cause of truth and justice, and
the love of equal laws been so steadily advocated
should have been earlier in their address to their
oppressed and injured Queen. Delay, however,
has not been without its advantages. Every act of
her enemies has strengthened the presumptions of
her innocence, has rendered more infamous their
proceedings, and has produced fresh attacks (in her
person) upon the laws of the country. This con-
duct has produced its natural and proper effect upon
the people, and while it has opened the eyes of
thousands to the injestice and iniquity of the mode
of proceeding which has been adopted, has increased
the seal of the vast bulk of the people in her cause.
Fettered and restrained as they are in they enjoy-
ment of their right to meet—with the dreadful deeds
of the Manchester massacre yet fresh in their me-
mories—these public expressions of affection towards
her Majesty must be limited. But she may be as-
sured that the peoples' hearts are hers. The dread
of a repetition of the butchery of St. PetersfieM, and
an arbitrary exercise of that power which the late
Act for abridging the right of meeting for the pur-
pose of petition or address, places in the hands of
magistrates, must necessarily and considerably di-
minish the number of public meetings for this or
for any other purpose ; the flame of loyalty which
burns in the hearts of her Majesty's subjects may
thus be prevented from blazing out in its full force
and splendour, but not less strongly will it burn.--
The invective of Castlereagh against "the Queen's
becoming an instrument, in the hands of" what be
calls "the hared populace of the Country" id as fitol.
ish as it is false. The meetings which have been
held for the purpose of addressing her Majesty, have
(as far as we know without a single exception) been
convened by the constituted authorities of the re-
spective places, at the request of most respectable
individuals. Take London, Westminster, South-
wark, Canterbury, Nottingham, Reading, Bedford,
Newbury and Norwich for examples. It is a crime
in her Majesty that wherever she goes, the blessings
of the poor and the gratulation' and the respect of
all, accompany her? We believe there are persons
high in authority, who would be most glad to meet
with a thousandth part of the cordial gteetings
with which she is welcomed. This we know, that
whenever a certain exalted personage stirs out, the
Court Circulars take care (whether truly or falsely)
to talk about buzzes and handkerchief wavings.—
Abd is that to be a crime in her, which in others is
adduced as a proof of popularity ? The author of
this calumny knows full well, that her Majesty has
I conducted herself with that feeling and that dignity
I which befit her exalted station. Sl'e has shewn as
r much sensibility, judgment and courage, as ever
marked the character of woman ; and the best com-
mentary on her conduct, and the best answer to this
foul insinuation,- ure the love and admiration of the
whole people, excepting solely those who have an

inter Lat in carrying on measures which are hostile
to the peece-and h4aplinets of the country.

Had she listened to the trezcheroui negociation
at St. Omprs, and having come to London, had she

shut' herself up like a criminal, we have int doubt
the !table Lord would have been better pleased,—..
But because her deportment is that which innocence'
alone would prompt, she is thus basely slandered
and traduced, and that too by her husbands ser-
vants. To her immortal honour she has chosen a
line of conduct the very reverse of that which they
would have recommended, and by so doing, she has
insured her own safety and her own honour, and
prevented this nation from being plunged into ever.
asting disgrace.

WESTMINSTER-HALL—The carpenters' work in
Westminster-hull is completed. On each side of
the Hull, but not quite under the lower gallery,
there is a table ; and thus the middle portion of the
Hall to a great width is left entirely open and
unoccupied. This is the space about which it is
intended the Champion, with the Earl Marshal
on one side and the Lord High Constable on the
other, preceded by Heralds, Squires, &c., should
ride, on a coronation taking place; all three on
horseback abreast, proceeding from the Hull Gate
to the ascent to the royal table. The floor of ti e
regal board is on a level with the former entrance
into the late Courts of Chancery and King's Bench :
and the ascent to it is by steps and landings reach-
ing quite across the Hall. The arches of the 12
windon s in the wall on each side of the Hall, as
they appear above the galleries, have been com-
pletely restored by the masons' skill. The arms cf
Richard 11., and the ornaments of the hart, &c.,
introduced by that monarch, re-appear fresh and
perfect; and those parts which were left incomplete,
owing to the deposition of Richard befire the works
in the Hall projected by him were finished, have
also been perfected. The figures of old kings, which
latterly appeared over the judges' seats, are replaced
in their original niches on each side of the southern
I and newly opened grand window behind the royal
table. The masons have finished the north win-
' dow, fronting New Palace Yard, as well as the
tower or turret sturtirg from the summit of the roof.
The masons are now engaged in repairing each side
of the great gate ; and these are the only workmen
now employed about the Hall.

It is said, that a cordon of troops is about to in-
vest the Metropolis, pending the ensuing trial of the
Queen, and that an encampment of 8000 men will
be formed on Blackheath.

Fowler, Norr.s.—Much error has appeared lately
in the public prints on the law as it respects to for-
gery and uttering. We are requsted to state, that
forging, or uttering forgeries, of either the present
notes, or the new notes, still remains as before pu-
nishable with death.
Letters have been received from some of the pas-
sengers who sailed in the iVeywoullt to the Cape of
Good Hope. to colonise, dated the 28th of April.
They were on their passage fifteen weeks and four
days, occasioned by the adverse winds, but they
write in good spirits. Twenty-one children died on
the passage, chiefly of the small pox, and it is there-
fore recommended that all children should in future
be vaccinated before they embarked, if they had not
previously bad the small-pox. There were only two
grown persons died on the passage. The industrious
adventurers form very sanguine hopes of success, and
are pleased with their reception and the encourage-
ment given them by the Government. They are
allowed green tea duty free, which stands them in
only two shillings per lb., sugar fourpence, and good
mutton twopence halfpenny per lb.
At the annual dinner of the Merchant Tailors'
Company, which took place ort IVedneolay, the con-
viviality of the evenit.g was disturbed by a contest
which arose concerning the omission of the second
toast selected for such occasions, which had usually
been the Queen and Royal Family, it appearing to
some of the.company present that such an omission
at this time was a marked disrespect to her Majesty.
After the confusion bad in some degree subsided,
the chairman put it as a proposition from the chair,
whether the health of the Queen should be drank or
not, and on a show of hands, decided that the ques-
tion was negatived. A great number of the Livery,
however, were far front being satisfied with this
decision, and insisted that the usual toast should be
drank. Parties ran so high that harmony could not
again be restored, and the company in consequence.
separated at a much earlier hour than customary.

MONDAY. AUGUST 7•

The Paris Papers of Tuesday, quote a contradic-
tion in the Brussels Oracle, of a rumour current in
the Low Countries, that in consequence of a com-
motion at Venice, Milan, and Genoa, the French
troops in Flanders had received orders to march to
the frontiers of the Alps. The Revolution in Na-
ples has evidently occasioned much anxiety in the
Austrian Government. Count Metternich ham re-
cently been very rapid in his movements. He has

returned with speed to Vienna from his journey into
Saxony, where he intended to remain eight days
longer, but was hurried away in consequence of
despatches of the highest importance having arrived
et Vienna from Milan, which occasioned the Count
to be sent for express. Immediately on his return
from Cobourg to the Austrian capital, after consult-
ing with Ministers, he again set off to have an in-
terview with the Emperor Francis at Persenberg.
Couriers are constantly passing and repassing be-
tween Vienna and Italy. It appears that a number
of officers of the ancient army of Italy, many of
whom were on half-pay, who resided in the Aus-
trian Italian provinces, have suddenly disappeared.
The circumstance has given rise to many conjectures
and much alarm. The division of the Chancellerie
of State in Vienna, charged with the affairs of Italy
is actively engaged, and in consequence of the in-
surrections now so prevalent, it is remarked that the
Austrian Government will not be wanting in energy
at this conjuncture. It would, however, be much
better to have recourse to conciliation than the
sword. On Monday night a dreadful fire broke out
at some wine and brandy vaults at La Rapee, Rue
de Berry in Paris, which made a rapid and desolat-
ing Progress, and spread consternation throughout
the capital. 111.agexines and houses fell a prey to
the conflagration, to the extent of nearly three quar-
ters of a league. Among other losses, the destrue• ,

Lion of 30,000 barrels of wine is mentioned, and
the. damages are said to exceed several millions of
franks. The military and firemen promptly arrived
soon after the fire broke out, and laboured with
praiseworthy seal to subdue the destructive element.
For some time the engines were supplied from a
large pool of wine, accumulated by staving the
hogsheads. Several persons unfortunately perished,
among whom, it is said, is an officer of the Royal
Guard. On Tuesday morning, then the Journals
were despatched, the fire was still raging, though I
under less alarming circumstances. The Quaidienne
mentions a rumour, that it was the work of some
wicked and malevolent incendiaries.

We have received German, Hamburg h, Dutch,
and other Papers, from which we find that the
revolution which has been so happily Afected at
Naples, has produced a very lively sensation in
every part of the Continent. In Gernany, from
the peculiar political circumstances of that country,
and the enlightened state of the public nind upon
the subject of political rights, tile Oka of so bril-
liant an event must be electrical, and as the revo-
lution in Naples was evidently produced by that
which regenerated Spain, we doubt no: that the
example of Naples will not fail to operate -von the
spirit of some other country. The Vienna papers,
as might be expected, express all the anvry feelings
of the Austrian Cabinet upon a sebject which so
intimately affects its most important interests.
Austria must necessarily be aware that should the
spirit of political.freedom be once roused. in Italy
by the successful example of the Neapolitans, her
domination in that country will prove of siert con-
tinuance, and it is evident from the tone of the
Vienna papers, that the Austrian Government la-
ment extremely that Ferdinand of Naples should
have with such Pttle hesitation consented to the
wishes of his subjects, and promised :hem the
blessings of a represeatstive constitution, when he
might, as they believe, have sailed with his fleet to
the Adriatic, and bar; soon returned to Naples with
an Austrian army, and restored the affain of state
to their former situation.
A Dutch mail arrived yesteeglie morning with
papers to the 3d inst. A severe shock of so earth-
quake was felt on the morning of the igth last at
Inspruck. A similar shock was felt at Schwartz on
the 17th, but no lives were lost at either place.

Oa Friday morning, a review took place at
Hounslow. The weather was unfavourabe in the
early part of the morning; notwithstandin: which,
the troops, consisting of the 12th and 19th Lancers
and the 10th Dragoons, appeared on the wound by
a little after eight o'clock. The King surpised the
crowd of fashionable spectators by the eeriness of
his arrival. His Majesty left the cottage at Wind-
sor so as lo appear on the ground by about ten mi•
nutes or a quarter past nine o'clock. His Majesty
having mounted a charger, and being immediately
surrounded with a numerous staff (=mg whom
we observed the Dukes of York and Cambridge, the
Duke of Wellington, Sir William Congreve, and
Sir G. Saville), the troops passed before his Ma-
jesty successively in single file, in squadron, and in
column. They went through a variety if evolu
tions, all of which were marked by perfection of
discipline. When the manceuvres were cmcluded.
his Majesty drove off in a plain green-bodied coach
From the unexpected earliness of the hour in which
the review took place, and the number of fashion-
able carriages of all kinds which were crowding the
road towards the Heath when the troops were re-
tiring, it may be fairly calculated that one•Lalf of
those who intended to be there were disappointed.
The Queen happened to be driving from t3wn as
the King was returning, and it is said the carriages
of their Majesties passed each other at the Kensing-
ton end of Hyde Park. The other troops forming
the household brigade of cavalry, and consisting of
the two regiments of Life Guards and the Royal
Horse Guards (blue), were reviewed at the same
time yesterday morr.ing.
A Rcrnan Monument discovered —They write from
Besancon us follows:—" The researches made by
excavation at Mendrence, in the Department of
Doubs, have put us in possession of a fine Roman
tnonument, part of which, already laid open, may
give an idea cf its importance. This monument is
an amphitheatre, which would contain 20,000 or
25,000 spectators conveniently seated. The walLs,
of hewn stone, are in the finest preservation:
Among other remains are fourul mall bronze medals
of Constantine the Great, of Crispin, and of the
younger Constantine. The are also fragments of

Wednesday a gentleman of Manchester visited
Knutsford Races, and while on the course was rob-
bed of his pocket-book, containing two bills, one of
1151. the other 25,1. and 21. in Bunk of England
notes. He very &am discovered his loss, returned
to Manchester the same evening, and next morning
as soon as the banks were opened, gave inlbrmation
of the rubbery, together with the particulars of thu
two bills. In less than twenty minutes tiller he
had left the Bank of Mr Mottratn, in Brown-street,
the Boots from the White Bear Inn presented the
larger one (11.51.) to. be discounted : he was of course
interrogattd as to the manner in which he became-
possessed of it, when he unhesitatingly declared that
he had been desired to get cash fin it by a person
then waiting at the inn. A police officer was sent
for, who accompanied him to the White Bear, and
the individual described was there found, and im-
mediately taken into custody. He was committed
fur trial, on Thursday, to Lancaster Castle.
A meeting of the inhabitants of Gloucester is ap-
pointed by the Bight Worshipful the Mayor, to
consider the propriety of presenting an address of
congratulation to the Queen on her return to this
country, and of petitioning Parliament against the
further prosecution of those measures instituted
against her.
Mr. Adolphns, the barrister, has published a let-
ter, disclaiming any part or share in writing or pub-
lishing a pamphlet, entitled, " The Royal Exile; or
Memoirs of her Majesty Caroline, Queen Consort of
Great Britain, &c." written, as asserted in the book,
by "J. Adolphus, E.q. Rte." It appears that Mr.
Adolphus never saw the pamphlet until it was sent
to him to Lewes.

It duel was fought on Wednesday morning early,
in a meadow, four miles from Farnham, between a
Mr. E—t--d, a gentleman of fo-ttine, in Hampshire,
and Mr. R—t—d, a half-pay officer. Ile dispute
originated at a race ball, and this was the first of
their meeting. Mr. E. was wounded on the right
side, and the ball could not be extracted, but he
was alive on Thursday morning. A family dispute,
it is said, was the first cause of disagreement.
House or LORDS.—Having removed the Peers'
seats, the workmen have begun to take up the floors
on either side of the House, to examine the nature
of the foundations for the pillars to support the two
galleries. These floors, on being restored, will be
more gradually elevated, so that the back benches
may have the fullest possible view of the witnesses
below the bar, and of the whole House. By this
elevation, an additional bench will be obtained.
The position of what arc °ailed the " cross benches,'
which heretofore ranrd parallel with the bar,*will
be altered: they are to run in line with the side
benches, shcadd it be deemed requisite to retain any
of them, beyond what are required for the Judges
and Clerks of the House near the table. The gal-
leries, it is expected, may be made more capacious
than was at first calculated ; and this would afford
the opportunity to dispense with some of the benches
near the bar, which it is feared would interrupt the
view from those who may sit on the woolsacks,
the royal Dukes, the Lord Chancellor, &c. The
partitions below the ear, for the eouns..l, witnesses,
and parties immediately interested, are marked out :
and these separations from the " strangers" are for-
warded according to the precedents in the cases of
Judge Fox and the Berkeley Peerage. No instruc-
tions have been given to make any other peculiar
accommodation fur persons nut members of the
House of Peers ; and there is no truth in the state.
ment that the seat of Sir T. Tyrwhitt has been
directed to be allotted to any other person than the
Usher of the Black Rod.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at
Havannab, dated July 12.—" A number of small
vessels, which are said to be part of A nry's squadron,
are reported to be cruizing on the north and west of
the island; and today we hear of a Patriot priva-
teer brig. of 18 gun; a few leagues to the eastward,
between this port and Matanges, which has beamed
several craft bound in, but we do not learn that they
molest any except Spanish vessels."
A 1....tcr bum Glazgow says—" it is pleasing to
be able to state, that the town's people and the 33d
regiment are on the must friendly terms with cads
other. Tuesday night, about nine o'clock, in Salt-
market Street, endeavoured to excite a quarrel be-
twecn some of the soldiers and the town's peo,,le,
but they treated him with si!cnt eon:empt. He
was afterwards, however, taken to the Police
Office.

The Rev. Mr. Dimocke still insists, it is said, on
his right, as Champion of ali England, of appointing
his substitute at the Coronation. The searching for
precedents is attended with considerable expnce.—
