[New Times. j

On Friday an Address to her Majesty was agreed to, at a
meeting of the inhabitants of Southwark. Thinking, as we
do, that the present is not the most judicious moment for
such Addresses, we are, nevertheless, ready to subscribe to
several of the leading sentitner.ts in the document before us.
We admit that the pending Investigation is no longer a mere
" persoind concern" of her Majesty; I,ut that her Majesty's
interests, as Queen Consort of England, " have become the
interests of the public." It would have been highly desirable
to forbear (ruin agitating the pith'ic mind on so delicate
a question; but as that has become impossible, we are now
deeply interested that justice should take its fair and un-
biassed course ; and every honourable mind must join in the
wish, " that her Nlajesty's character and rights may be esta-
blished on plain and common sense grounds." Could we con-
ceive or imagine that the coarse now pursuing was not calcu-
lated to do entire justice to her Majesty's rights or character,
no 'consideration on earth should prevent us from raising
our feeble protest against it ; but we are accustomed to be-
lieve that the methods pointed out by the Law and Constitu-
tion of England for deciding great questions of State, arc the
best calculated for that purpose ; and, upon a careful consi-
deration of precedent and analogy we are satisfied that the
present course is the most legal, the most constitutional, and
the most reasonable, that could under existing circumstances
have been adopted.—Though it appears not to be exactly
known at what period both Houses of l'arliament are to ad-
journ, yet if the time of adjourning at all depends, as it is said
to do, on the Report of the Secret Committee in regard to
the conduct of the Queen, as this communication is expected
to be made about the middle of the present week, it is not
improbable that au adjournment may take place.ssithin a fort-
night hence,

[The Times]

The regular Report of the Committee to the House of
Lords will be made to-morrow, anti the bill presented on
Wednesday. The Houses, it is said, will both adjourn
(rather than be prorogued) to the Ist of October, in order to
avoid the necessity of bringing in a new bill, as would be the
case if a new session had commenced. On the meeting of
the Houses in October, the Commons, it is thought, might
again adjortrn to the Ist of November. However, we can-
not see where would be the harm of a prorogation, as
usual, and a new bill in ;October. By that course, the old
bill would drop of itself, should matters he adjusted,
for, strange as it may seem, adjustment is even still not
thought impossible. This, surely,- is not saying much for
the importance or validity of the charges which are to he pro-
duced. But, under any circumstances, we fear those charges
will be made public, and circulated every where for two or
three months, during which period her Majesty will not he
able to contradict, or at least nut have it in her power wholly
to refute them, on account of the absence of her witnesses.—
The adjournment, or prorogation, which ever it may be, it is
thought will take place about the 12th inst.

The Duke of RUTLAND, in consequence of the
contrition expressed by them, has obtained a par-
don for the tour poachers, who were sentenced to
be transported for seven years for poaching at
midnight with fire-arms, in the vale of lielvoir,
and not only restored them to their distressed fa-
milies, but directed that they shall be fully em-
ployed on his Grace's ettute.

SOLEM QUIS t/iCtRE FALSCIM AU tiKAT ?

LONDON,
MONDAY, JULY 3, 1820.

We received yesterday the Paris Papers or
Thursday last. Those of Friday, which were due
this morning, have not arrived.—The Chainber of
Peers on Wednesday finally disposed of the Elec-
tion Projet, after several Amendments proposed (it
does not appear of what nature) had been either
withdrawn, or got rid of by the precious clues-

ion.

The Projet was passed wi hoot altera:iOu,
by a majority of 141 to 56. The Chamber of
Deputies also got through the Budget, but post-
poned the vote upon it till after the discussion on
the Projet respecting the Legion of Honour,
which was fixed for Thursday. M. BENJAMIN
CONSTANT deposited &Proposition in the hands
of the PRESIDENT, for presenting an Address to
his MAJESTY, praying that all the Acts of the Ge-
neral Direction of the' Police of the Kingdom
may be signed by a responsible Minister.

The KING transacted business with the Duke
DE RICHELIEU on Wednesday.
General GROUCHY arrived at Paris yesterday
se'nnight, and the next day had a conference with
the Duke DR RICHELIEU.

One of the Journals has the following article :
—" Intelligence from Marseilles, dated 22d ult,,
states—' An English Captain, who left Oran on
the 13th inst., and arrived yesterday in this port,
has declared, that a squadron of five armed ships,
which he was assured were destined for the North
Seas, sailed from Algiers at the beginning of the
present month.'
According to the Journal de Paris, the accounts
from the frontiers of Spain represent the stare of
bealth in the Island of Majorca as very alarming.
An article from. Angsburg mentions the receipt
of letters from Greek commercial houses, stating
tWat signal advantages had been obtained by Aix
DACHA. over the troops of the Porte. - .On the
other hand, the Ottoman squadron, which bad,
arrived off the coast of Albania, had captured se-
veral vessels of war belonging to the PAcuts.
A contest has arisen between the Grand Duke
of HESSE DARMSTADT anti his States; a great Ma-
jority of the latter having demanded a modification
of the Constitution, whilst the Sovereign refuses
to acknowledge them unless they take the oath to
the Constitution as it is. A considerable number
of the Deputies had in consequence left Darm-
;stack, and the assembling of the States, which was
fixed for the 17th ult, could not in consequence
take place.

SPANISH VICE-CONSULATE, BRISTOL, JJLY t.

Copy of an Official Document received by .IE..
REMIAII HILL, Esq. Spanish Vice Consul in this
port, from the Spanish' Consul-General in Lon-
don :

" By order of the Secretary of State of the Foreign De-
partment, I communicate to you, that you may immediately
give notice of it to all the Spanish Consuls in this Kingdom,
that in the Town of San Selvera, in the Island of Majorca, a
contagious disorder has declared itself, of an alarming na-
ture, and Which, it is supposed, may be the Plague of the
Levant. The Society for the Preservation-6f Health of that
Island took immediately the most active and wise means to
stifle it at its beginning, to which the Supreme Society at
Madrid have given their best assistance."

We inserted the Southwark Address, .as, it is,
styled, to her MAJIIST`i on Saturday last, he-
cause we were desirous of proving our impar-
tiality on all matters of publis interest ; but as it
could' only originate in a part of the Inhabitants
of that ancient Borough, we trust that a great ma-
jority of them will come forward to disavow the
reflections which it contains against those who,
by her MAJESTY'S own conduct since her arrival
in this Country, have forced olio!' Government the
necessity of exats•.ining into the accounts of what
it was abroad.-1t is, as we before observed, pro.

halite, that, if she had remained quietly in Whit'
ever mansion she had chosen for her residenehl

The Southwark Address speaks of " pleasure'

not only absurd and unjust, but is injurioo9 to
