The dutiful and loyal Address of the inhalittants of the city
and county or Norwich, in Common Hall assembled.
We, his Nlajesty's &Urdul and loyal subjects, die inhabitants
of tit' city and county of Norwich, again most toipectfully ap.
proach }our Maj.:sty with our sincere and heartfelt congratula-
thins at the complete discomfiture of an attempt, equally unheard
of and detestable, to fix the stigma of guilt upon your Nl...tool's
exalted character, and to degrade your Majesty trout the enjoy-
ment of your rightsitSCLleril of England.
We have vie.ed aim indignation and abhorrence as English-
men and as men, the developeinent of toe late At voetuus conspiracy;
a conspiracy cal crt witit unparalleled malignity. and support 4
by a cutubinatisei ut the vilest and basest instrunt,nts. We 14
merit, Mr the honour of human nature. that those wietched indi-
viduals who had tasted your :Majesty's gracious boolity should,
viper like, have tudied to sti g their baieldetre,s; and sic hitt It
the our country, that among me suborners of these iniszr ants,
we find those who bear the name of Euglisitinen.
We trust that the strength ut Musa w your Majesty's •
perstxutors have eialeavolved to violate, will be exerted to vene-
rate the dark and crooked mazes of hut conspiracy which for so
many years has been preparing its Artifices against your Maie.ty's
character and happineis Justly and truly did your Majesty say.
that '• in proportion as your enemies have endeavoured to dl'.'.s
your Abasement, they have conirtimted to your exaltation." They
are sunk to the lowest abyu uldegradation ; in proportion an
their proceedings have been violent, unjust, And illegal ; in put.
portion as the influence of power has been ex.yted. not to elicit
truth. but to procure a verdict of guilty against your Majtaity, so
has their defeat been signal and their disgrace complete.
We are bound to acknowledge with fervent gratitude the noble.
intrepid, and dignified stand which your Majesty has ma le
against so deliberate a violation of the princ:plea of the Consti.
tution. Through yam Majesty an attack was male against the
common rights and liberties of the people. Rights which a
Prince of Brunswick was chosen by our ancestors to maim MI.
and which a Princess of Brunswick has now most heroically and
most triumphantly vindicated.
We hail with joy and exultation your Majesty's declaration,
that England is henceforth to be your 3fajesty's residence: and
we trust that in the eat/armed love and admiration 0.. site people,
your Majesty will fiat tonic (-milieus:6(m tot die stuffruts and
