S. M. PHILLIPS.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
SiaE,--.We, the undersigned Members of Trinity College
Grand District Orange Lodge, beg leave most humbly to ap-
proach your Majesty's Throne, and to offer our sincere and
heartfelt thanks for the sentiments expressed in your Majesty's
late most gracious declaration, of remaining firm to those Pro-
testant principles which plaCed the illustrious House of Bruns-
wick on the Throne of these realms.

Our confidence, as well as that of every well-wisher to our
glorious Constitution and British connexion, has been re-as-
sured by the prompt confirmation of these sentiments, given
by your Majesty's dismissal of a Ministry, from whose line of
policy we had every reason to be in the highest state of alarm
for the existence of those Protestant institutions and privileges
which form the basis of this free and enlightened empire.
Connected as we are with an University, founded by one of'
your Majesty's most illustrious predecessors, Queen Elizabeth,
for the furtherance of the religion of the Bible and the prin-
ciples of the British Constitution, we cannot but repudiate, in
the strongest manner possible, the doctrine attempted to be
promulgated, that the Sovereign should be subservient to the
dictation of the people in the choice of his Ministers.

We cannot conclude without expressing, that although the
fundamental laws of our society, enjoining loyalty to the King
and Constitution, would have impelled us to the course we are
now pursuing ; yet the debt of gratitude which your Majesty's
late acts in favour of the Protestants of this country have laid
us under, adds to our readiness in coming forward to support
your Majesty to the utmost of our power, with our lives and
properties in the constitutional exercise of your Majesty's just
prerogative.

ANSWER to the foregoing ADDRESS to the Members of the
TRINITY COLLEGE GRAND DISTRICT ORANGE LODGE.
Whitehall, January 16, 1835.
have had the honour to lay before the King the
loyal and dutiful address signed by you, and several other gen-
tlemen, " expressive of their thanks for his Majesty's late
most salutary exercise of his Royal prerogative," which ad-
dress accompanied your letter of the 10th instant.
And I have the satisfaction to inform you, that his Majesty
was pleased to receive the same in the most gracious manner.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) H. GOULI3URN.

TO THE KING'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.
Siaa,—We, the undersigned, being Members of the Royal
Luther Lodge, No. 1,483, county of Dublin; attached to the
Orange Institution of Ireland, beg leave most humbly to lay
at the foot of the Throne our sincere kind heartfelt acknow-
ledgments for the gracious declaration of your Majesty's fixed
determination to uphold the Protestant Institutions of this
country, and of acting strictly up to those principles which
placed these realms beneath the benignant sway of the illus-
trious House of Brunswick.
We beg also to express the renewed confidence which we
as well as every well-wisher of our glorious Constitution and
British connexion, have received by your Majesty's late prompt
and decided confirmation of those sentiments, in dismissing
from your Majesty's Council Ministers, from whose line of
policy we had every reason to be in the highest state of alarm
for the permanence of those privileges and institutions in
