OXFORD ]LOYAL ADDRESS.

"TO THE k[NG'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY,

4, We, your Majesty's, most dutifal and loyal subjects, the
Chancellor, Masters, and Scholars of the University of Ox-.
ford, beg leave to approach your Majesty, with renewed as-
surances of inviolable attachment to your Majesty's l!erson,
Family, and Government.
Having so recently been permitted to lay these assur-
ances at the foot of your Majesty's Throne, we should have
been content to cherish in ourselves,, and inculcate upon
others, the principles of allegiance to our Sovereign, and of
reverence for the Laws, if it were not that disaffection has
assumed a new form, and is endeaeouring, by the excitement
of popular feeling, to accomplish those objects.for which it
has hitherto labottred in vain.
" It is with Alie deepest sense of gratitude we acknowledge
that your Nlajesty's rule has been unifiroily exercised in the
true spirit of nor laws and Constitution, teniperin4 justice
with mercy; and that the happy result of such rule has hith-
etto been that. ranquillity, which is not more essential to the
object of 'our local Institutions, than to the general interests
of the community ; not more necessary to the peaceful prose-
cutions of our studies, than to the security of property and
the enjoyment of life. With the greater abhorrence,' there-
we view the insidious designs and evil practices of those
who omit no opportunity of spreading discontent and dis-
loyalty throughout your Majesty's dominions.
‘, We further beg leave to assure,your Majesty, that it shall

he our constant aim, as it^is our .iudispensahle duty, to im-
press the minds of the 14 ug genera,ion with the same senti-
ments of dutiful submission to the Sovereign which .we our-
selves profess; anti that we shall endeavour to 'keep alive, in
this your Majesty's highly favoured University, that. unfeigned
loyalty for which it has been so lung distinguished—that at-
tachment to your Majesty's person which is iirseparahle from
a recollection (tithe benefits which your Majesty has confer-
red upon us--and a zealous and unalterable resolntiOn to de-
fend that'Constitution which the voice of civilived Europe, as
will as the history of otsr awn country, proclaims to he the best

has been yet formed for poblie .41141 private happiness."
