HIS MAJEsTY'S ANSWER
TO THE ADMIX'. IRON TRUK URIIIRRSITT OF OXFORD.

I thank you fur your loyal and dutiful Address.
This declaration of your principles, and of the feelings
with which you are inspremed, at the present important con-
juncture, is not less honourable to you than satisfactory to
myself.
It is by such manifestations of loyalty and public spi►it,
combined with ■ strict execution of the laws, that an effec-
tual check will be given to the efforts of those who labour
with unceasing industry to corrupt, inflame, and pervert
the minds of my faithful subjects, to deprive them of the
salutary restraints, and the consolations of religion, and to
subvert all those establishments and in►titutions which have
so long been regarded with affectionate veneration in this
country, and with admirstion throngliout the world.
In the exereiee of the great trust committed to my charge,
I shall be invariably actuated by the deepest conviction, that
the true interests of my Crown are inseparably united with
those of my people; and I am folly persuaded that in your
several stations it will be your chief object and constant en-
deavour to afford to your country the best and surest means
of permanent tranquillity and prosperity, by encouraging
and inculcating • profound reverence fur our holy religion,
a zealous attachment to our invaluable constitution, and •
Arne determination to transmit it unimpaired to our latest
descend:intik

LOYAL ADDRESS.

At a meeting held in Huddersfield. on Monday,
the 18th December, 1820, to vote a loyal Address
to his Majesty ;
Sir JOHN LISTER KAYE, Bart. in t►e Chair.
An Address was ►troposed by Dr. \VALKER, and
seconded by B. H. ALLEN, Esq. and another
Address, as on amendment, was proposed by Mr.
SAMUEL. CLAY, and seconded by Mr. JAMES
BOOTH ; when Mr. CLAY requested, as a matter of
right, that his amendment should be first put from
the Chair (which mode is univeisally adopted in all
well-conducted meetings); but this was opposed by
JOSEPH 11A1011, Esq. in the following novel manner,
who said, " Then, ►f that be the case. I move the
original Address, as an amendment upon Mr. Clay's
amendment ;" which was seconded by Mr. Stables;
and this unique mode was adopted by the Chair-
man, who first put the original Address as an
amendment upon Mr. Clay's amendment ; and,
what is very irregular, omitted to take the negative
on this motion.
The Chairman then put the Address moved by
Mr. Clay in the same singular manner, which was
carried by an IMMENSE MAJORITY: however, the
Chairman, from his situation in the room, and from
want of his being suflicientlyeletoited, was probably
Unlaced to make the following declaration :—" I
BELIEVE in my constience, as G 1.14 is ant Judge,
that the original Address has it !" This opinion
caused considerable astonishment, a division was
immediately demanded (which certainly ought to
hare taken place to obtain a correct decision), but
it was disregarded by the Chairman; and, dating
the call for such division. a vote of thanks was pro-
posed to the Chairman, by a few individuals near
the Chair, but was never put to the meeting ; for
in Net, lie never left the chair for that purpose, but
returned thanks for the honour done him, and,
without nissoLvimo the meeting, retired. io coo-
' sequence of such proceedings.
Mr. JOHN WOOD was called to the Chair,
and the Address proposed by Mr. Clay was carried
by acclamat►on—AßOUT FOUR.FIFTLIS OF THE
COMPANY BEING PRESENT!

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,
_ . .

- -. ...
The Dutiful and Loyal Address of the uodersigned lOWA
tints of Hnolderstield and its Neighbourhood.

May it pleare your Majesty,
We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, the In.
habitants of Huddersfield sad its neighbourhood, beg leave,
at this momentous crisis of our national affairs, to lender to
your Majesty the sisicere avowal of our unshaken loyalty
and attachment to your Majesty's Person; to state our high
admirati tttt of our most excellent Could iintion, as established
et the glorious Revolution of 1688 ; and to assure your
Majesty of our entire devotedness to the principles which
placed your august Family on the Throne of these Realms.
And, Sire, it is with the must harrowed feelings that we
survey the dkastrous state of our beloved country—trade,
commerce, manufacture, and agriculture, each presenting
the awful and direful consequetkes of a ruinous and insup-
portable taxation ; which, if not materially redeettl, must,
its all human calculation, inevitably destroy the very vitals
of the nation, endanger every existing institution, and, in its
overwhelming effects, plunge every class of society into the
most deplorable and wretched condition.
We would, therefore, most humbly declare to your Ma-
jesty, what we conscientiously believe to be the source
whence originates the cause of these direful calamities:—it
le the profligate expenditure of the public money, in unne-
cessary and, useless establishments, and unmerited pensions,
alike dangerous to the stability of the throne, and to the
happiness and liberties of the people. Hence your Majesty's
confidential advisers, the Minister, of the Crown, who ought
to have used every effort, by judiciounuretrenclimeut and
wholesome abolition, to ameliorate the e_,Plition of the peo.
plc, :tee obviously culpilde, and therefore unworthy of your
Majesty's confidence. For they have not only, in numerous
lost snresolianiefully squandered the public treasure, made
dangerous inroads in the Cuastitution of our country, highly
prijuilicial to the lib:I-ties of the people, bet have, by a
most iiittmotts attempt to degrade royalty, in the uncousti•-
taitional prosecutimi of her Msjesty the Queen, your royal
Consort, nod in the odious and indecent measures adopted
fur that purpose, wounded the mural anti religious feelings
of the People, and dishonoured your Royal House.
And, Sire, we are thoroughly persuaded, that had the
people been fairly represented in the Commons House of
ParliaMeot, these appalling disasters would 'weir have nc.
correct. We, therefore, in the most ardent attachment to our
most rbriotte Constitution, in its original purity, and of our
veneration' and esteem for the Noble House of Brunswick,
hope that your Majesty will call to your Counsels men pos.
OWSIIIIg public confidence, eminent fur rank, Welts, and re-
putati ~,,, so that they may avert the evils which threaten the
destruction of the nation, give stability to the throne, and
happiness to your loyal, datifill, and affectionate subjects.
