TO THE EARL OF LIVERPOOL.
MY LORD,---The crisis Is at hand; the mo-
4/ellt°us hour which produces the Bill of Pains
and Penalties for the consideration of the House
of Lords, produces also the discussion of a Ques-
-1011, the termination of which, the wisest in the
Rouse of Lords cannot foresee. The question
4s viewed by the public, is not whether the King
and Queen are to be divorced, but whether the
t4l-1"11, is, or is not, to receive justice, and her
Majesty demands a Trial. How to constitute a
‘_,ourt to try her Majesty, as she protests against
the Tr:
gn
-4est Court of Judicature in the Country,
i do not know, and unto the decision of the
house of Lords her Majesty will not bow except
°Y force.

[From the Old Times.]

Her MAAsTy came to Lady FnAkcts's house
-in St. James's-square, at twelve o'clock yesterday,
and was received both there, and indeed in the
whole line of road from Brandenburgh House,
with the lotidest derrionstrations of popular at-
tachment. - The Queen was attended by lady
Ann Hamilton, and her Majesty appeared deeply
impressed With the warm enthusiasm of the people,
and the repeated marks of affection shown to her
by the most respectable persons as site passed
along the streets leading to her residence. Mr.
Alderman Wood and Mr. Mills had arrived in
St. James's-square previous to -the Queen's arri-
val. Her Majesty was occupied throughout this
important day—the eve, of her momentous trial
on a charge involving every thing that is dear to
her. honour—in cheerfully performing the same
consolatory task in which she has .been engaged
at intervals- during so many preceding, days,
namely, in receiving the cordial and unequivocal
proofs of the confidence and attachment of a very
large and respectable portion of his Majesty's
subjects. The Addresses received by the Queen
yesterday were from a yery large number of Mar-
ried Ladies of great respectability, from the Inha-
bitants of Greenwich, and from those of Ayles-
bury. The ladies, whose Address must have
been peculiarly- gratifying to the Qnntql, from
the high and delicate sense of character 'which,
happily for the moral reputation of the country,
still characterizes the ladies of England,' assem-
bled soon after twelve o'clock, itt
Leicester-
square. The cavalcade, which consisted of
twenty-eight private carriages, many of them
drawn by four horses, and containing about 100
ladies,'deputed from a very considerable number,
several of them of rank, and'all of - them .of the`
first respectability, proceeded on to her Majesty's
residence in St. James's-square, where they ar-
rived, .amidst the acclamations of the multitude
of all classes assembled in the area of the square,
about half-past one o'clock. The Ladies were
all in full dress they were shown first into the
suite of rooms on the ground-floor, and after-
wards conducted itito- her Majesty's presence in
the drawing-room, which was nearly crowded to
excess. The following Address was then read
to her Majesty by Mrs. Thohnall, in a very im-
pressive manner :
" MADAM,—Whilst thousands and tens of thousands of
our fellow-subjects are approachit, your Majesty with assu-
rances of homage and affection—whilst addresses even from
the remoter parts of the kingdom are laid at your feet—per-
' wit us, your. Mtijesty's neighbours, as wives, and the mis-
tresses of families, in and near the metropolis, to approach
you. , We are onaccustomed to public acts, and uninfluenced
by patty feelings ; yet we cannot be excluded front offering
to your Majesty's notice our sympathy and devotion. Grate-
ful to the 'Constitution under which it is our happiness to
live—saved also by our rank in the middle classes of Society,
front the dangers attendant on high rank or poverty, and
protected by our hushandt, we may hardly be supposed judges
of all the value of your Mujesty's conduct; hut, Madam, we
.dmire your magnanimity, and we adore that. womanly feel-
ing which has made your Majesty treat with contempt every
oiler, the tendency of which was to compromise your honour,
and we thank you for it in the name of our sex.
" Had your Majesty been treattd with the respect due to
your exalted rank, our hearts would have throbbed with
ardent interest in your cause, and with love lb your person;
and, leaving to our husbands and sons all public expression
.of feeling, we should have .confined °Ors to our domestic
circles; hut now, Madam, the indignation we feel for the
cruel treatment of your Majesty bursts es-ery burlier between
us, and we hasten to express at your feet the warm, the almost
overwhelming interest with which we.are inspired; and be
assured, Madam, our judgments are quite as much enlisted
in your Majesty's service as our feelings: for, added to the
dreadful charges against you, are not new crimes found out
by your enemies ? and new modes of judging them, un-
known alike to common law and common sense ? tinder
these circumstances, scarcely less than a miracle, we think,
can procure your justification, refuted as your Majesty has
been every means of fairly meeting the accusations against
you. We cvmmit your Majesty's cause to the integrity of
your own great mind; to the zeal, to the honour, and the
ability•of your legal advisers, who will have fur their reward
a nation's gratitude; but, above all, to our all-seeing and
merciful God—to that God whom no one can prevent our ad-•
dressing, and teaching our children to address, in fervent
prayers for your protection.
• " And now, Madam, in simplicity of style, and sincerity of
heart, we beg to subscribe ourselves
" Your Majesty's dutiful, affectionate, and loyal
' Subjects and Servants."
Her Majesty was graciously pleased to return
the following Answer •
" In this honest and affectionate Addicts from my female
neighbours, who are wives and' mothers of families in and
near the metropolis, I gratefully acknowledge the sympathy
which they express for ray many sorrows, and the indignation
which they feel for my unnumbered wrongs. The approba-
tion of thy own' sex must be ever dear to my heart ; and it
must be mote particularly gratifying when it is the approba-
tion of mothers of families in and near this enlightened me-
tropolis.. .
When my honour is attacked, every loyal Englishwoman
must feel it as an imputation upon her own. The virtues of
Sovereigns are not circumscribed in their influence or insu-
lated in their operations. They put in motion a wide circle
of the imitative propensity in the subordinate conditions of
life. Thus the virtues of the great become the property of
the people; and the people are interested in preserving them
from slanderous contamination.
" The present procedure against me is like a wilful attempt
on the part of blind rhrensy or improvident malice to destroy
the oniral character of the Monarchy. To lesten this moral
character in public estimation is not merely to degrade the
Queen, but to shatter into atoms that reverential respect
which gives strength to the sceptre and dignity to the Sore-,
reign.
• I shall never sacrifice that honour which is the glory of a
woman, and the brightest jewel of a Queen, for any earthly
consideration. All the possessions in the world would be
purchased too dear if they were obtained at the price of self-
' coudemnation. I can never be debased while I observe the
.great maxim of respecting myself.
" In this era of ceaseless change, and of violent agitation,
when whole nations seem tossed, like individuals, on the ocean
of storms, no circumstances, however menacing, shall shake
the constancy
of my attachment to the English nation, or es-
trange my affections front the general -good of the commu-
nity.iThe future is wisely covered with an opaque cloud ; bur,
whatever may be my destiny, I will cherish in all vicissittides,
and preserve in all fortunes, that resignation to the Divine
will, which, in proportion as it. becomes an habitual Senti-
ment of the mind, improves all its virtues, and elevates the
general character."
• After the presentation her Majesty conversed
in the most affable manner with several of the
Ladies, who had the• honour of kissing the
Queen's hand. The Ladies then returned to
their carriages, and drove off, accompanied by the
reiterated cheers of the crowd, intermingled with
shouts of ".Long live Queen Caroline !" During
these demonstrations of affectionate attachment
• to the Queen, her Majesty, attended by Mr.
Ald. Wood, made her appearance at the draw-
ing-room windows, and repeatedly acknowledged
by her gestures the sense . she entertained of the
kindness she had expertenced. Shortly after the
Ladies' procession had retired, seven coaches,
-each drawn by four ,horses, arrived with the. de-
putation bearing the Address of the Inhabitants
:of Greenwich. The first coach contained the

' Ottcers of the Vestry, and behind it stood the
beadles carrying their mace's. The sbcond coach
cootained Verner and Mr. Giles, the mover
and seconder df the AddNss ; and the Other
contained some respectable inhabitants of Green.;;
with, They met with a Most grittions reCevz.
tion ; and her Majesty ,was pleased to return the-
following answer:—
" In this cordial, this friendly Address, the inhabitants of
Greenwich have strongly excited my sympathies, and interest-
ed my heart. In the most vivid manner they have recalled
to my meinory those times over which oblivion will never
throw a seil. They have reminded me of those past days
when I lived among them, when I visited their houses and
traversed their fields, when I partook of their social festivities,
and was united in. Weir sacred rites; when I was rendered
happy by ministering to the wants of some, and by adding to
the comforts of others; and, above all, when' my heart was
lifted to God in gratitude because my ears were cheered with
the heneuictions of the poor. This. is that period which the
kind-hearted inhabitants of Greenwich so powerfully recall
to my recollection : itor can I ever be unmindful that it
was a period in which •I could behold that countenance which
I never beheld without vivid delight, and to hear that voice
which to my fond ears was like music breathing over vio-
lets. Can I forget ? No; my soul will never suffer me,to for-
get that, when the cold remains of this beloved object were
deposited in the tomb, the malice of my persecutors would
not suffer even the name of the mother to he inscribed upon
the coffin: of her child. Of all the indignities whiell I have
experienced, this is one which, minute as it may seen:, has
affected me as much as all the rest. But if it were minute,
it was not to my agonising sensibility. It was a dagger di-
rected
by unrelenting hate, not to the surface, but to the very
centre of a mother's heart. If little circumstances mark cha-
racter, that whiek I have mentioned will nut fail to fix a note
of indelible infamy upon that (erOcious persecution which has
troubled my peace and imbittered my, clays."
• While• the Greenwich Deputation were in at_
lendance upon .her Majesty, Lord
.Nugent and
Mr. Rickford, the Members for 'Aylesbury, ar-
rived with the Address from the inhabitants' -of
that place. The Noble _Earl was recognized by
.persons among the crowd and his .name re-
echoed with great applause. Her, Majesty re-
ceived the Address from Aylesbury with great
satisfaction, and was pleased to return the fol-
loWing Answer
" The inhabitants of the Borough of Aylesbury have my
cordial thanks for this impressive testimony of their affec-
tionate regard. Whatever may have been the afflictions with
which I bare been visited by Providence, know my duty to
Heaven too well to murmur at any of its dispensations. The
sorrows that are scattered over the surface of human life are
usually transient, though often recurring. They come and.
go—they depart and return, like the wind and the rain ; but
my son ows have not been of this kind. They have not merely
flitted ovu.r my nerves in the shades of the evening, to disap•
pear when the East reddened with the dawn; they have been
a long, a dark, an almost interminable night, which malice,
like that of a fiend, has thrown over my soul for a quarter of
a century. But the people of England think that I have been
,sufficiently tortured by malignity and saddened by wo- Their
vivid sympathies and their glowing affections begin to dissipate
the thick darkness that covered my prospects,and to announce
the day-spring of a life more serene, when my wrongs shall he
redressed, and my persecutions conic to an end.
" Those prisons who could instigate or advise that the
name of the Queen should, contrary to all usage, be omitted-
in our national prayers, must have had their hearts tar from
God. Such an omission is at variance with that charity
without which all our adoration is mete mutumery, and all
. our Hosannahs only empty air.
" The injustice of my enemies has been so great, and in 7
deed so monstrous, that the account of it will hereafter be
numbered among the prodigies in the moral history of man.
It is the extremity of barbarism in an age of high civiliza-
tion Because I have violated no law, a Bill of. Pains and
Penalties has been introduced into the House of Lords to
destroy me without law. But the people of England have
not minds of inert clay, or hearts of impenetrable stone.
lhey know, they see, they feel my unparalleled wrongs. Every
man, every woman, nay, every child; is alive to the sympathy
they have inspired. Oppression always sanctifies its object.
In this order of things ,the Altnighty has written his; decree
against cruelty and injustice.
A considerable crowd remained collected in
front of her Majesty's residence•in St. Jame S's-square
-square throughout the-day and evening, and- a-
number of coaches, filled by Ladies, passed in
the expectation of obtaining a transient glimpse
at the object of so much generous attachment.
Such as were fortunate enough to obtain a view
of the Queen, upon the one or two occasions.
When she made her appearance at the windows,
• appeared highly gratified. Those who_were dis-
appointed retired with evident chagrin. Some
pickpockets, as usual, made repeated efforts to
create confusion in the crowd, but the general
demeanour of the people was orderly, and among
them were a number of persons of both sexes of
very respectable appearance.' The Queen main-
. tallied her wonted cheerfulness, and appeared
highly pleased with the deep interest expressed
in her behalf' by the numerous visiters she re-
ceived in the course of the day.
