THE KING'S ANSWER.
The following is a copy of his MAJESTY'S An-
swer to the Loyal Address of the University 01
Oxford, presented on Tuesday last :

'f I thank you for your loyal and dutiful Address.

"" This declaration of your principles, and of the feelingi
with %chick you are impressed, it the •present important con-
juncture, is not less honourable to you, than satisfactory to
myself.

" It is by such manifestations of loyalty, and public spirit,
combined with a strict execution of the laws, that an effectual
check will be given to the efforts of those who labour with un-
ceasing•industry to corrupt, inflame, and pervert the minds •
of my faithful subjects, to deprive them of the saJutary re-
straints, and the consolations of religion, and to subvert all
those establishments, and institutions, which hare so long
been regarded with affectionate veneration in this country►
and with admiration throughout the world.
de In the exercise of thegreat trust committed to my charge.
I shall be invariably actuated by tl►e deepest conviction, that
the true interests of my Crown are inseparably united witb
those of my people ; and I am fully persuaded, that in your
several stations, it will he 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 a profound reverence for 'our Holy Religion, a
zealous attac-hrsent to our invaluable Constitution, and s►
firm determination to transmit it unimpaired to our latest
descendants." .

The following is a fresh version of Lord
STrwART'S affair at Vienna. in one of his Lord-
ship's official notes, there were found some eX--
pressions which were considered derogatory to,
the Imperial dignity, and, which very much ex-
asperated his Majesty, who ordered Count Met-
ternich to write an answer to Lord Stewart, ani-
madverting in strong and 'severe terms upon the
use of such expressions. Upon receiving which,
his Lordship in turn took fire and sent a-chal-
lenge to Metternich, defying him to mortal com-
bat, but which was refused with great Gravity'
and politeness, the. Minister stating that the letter
contained the sentiments of his Imperial Majesty,
and that he himself was merely the passive
organ- of conveyance. This is but one of m-iwy
extraordinary tales related of the gallant Lord-
It is said, he has been seen more than once to
get down from his coach, and fight hand to hand
the driver of a fiacre. There is a bridge in,
Vienna, over which no carriage, not even that or
the Emperor, is allowed to drive, but in a slow
walk; there is a sentinel placed on this bridge to
enforce the strict observance of this regulation.
Notwithstanding which, his Lordship took it one
day in his head to drive his coach in full gallop
over it, and on being opposed and obstructed by
the sentinel, he jumped from his seat, and, as-
the story goes, struck the sentinel, who then.
made him his prisoner and lodged him in the
guard-house, from which he was not released till
an order arrived from the Minister. There are
many other aneralotes that do not redound to his
Lordship's character for discretion ; but they
may be false or exaggerated.---(Morn. Herald.)
Ad vices from Naples to the 2d inst. were re-
