The SPEAKER stated to the House, that be was informed
the Serjeant had Thomas Croggan (the Returning Officer for

proposed, that the person in custody should remain under the
care of the Serjeant at Arms.
The SPEAKER observed, the Serjeant had no apartments In
which a prisoner could be conveniently kept more than a short
time. It might therefore be a question, whether it would not
be better that a person in an infirm state of health should be
lodged in one or other of his Majesty's jails, where a proper
apartment could be provided far him, and every necessary medi-

Her Royal Highness having signified her pleasure
to receive the congratulatory Address of the City of
Bristol at Blackheath, yesterday, a great concourse
of spectators assembled in front of Montague House,
about two o'clock, for the purpose of expressing their
warm approbation of the sentiments which it was
known the Address contained. In consequence of
the desire intimated by her Royal Highness, hole.
ever, that the. Address should be presented in the
most private Manner, Mr. HUNT, to whom it was
entrusted, arrived at the Heath undiscovered, shortly
after two o'clock. .He came in a post.chaise, and
was accompanied only by his son. On being admit-
ted to Montague House, he was immediately intro-
duced to Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, who was depu-
ted to receive the Address, in consequence of th,
slight indisposition of her Royal Highness, who ha .
not yet recovered from the fatigue she underwent t L.
Monday. Her Ladyship having apologised for
absence of her Royal Highness, Mr. HUNT deliverel
the Address, which was as follows, and was shortly
afterwards conveyed to her Royal Highness :
" TO HER-ROYAL HICHNRIE CAROLINE, fiThIEZES Of VALLI.
" The dutiful and loyal Addressof a numerous and respect-
able public Meeting of the Freemen, Burgesses, and Ir-
habitants of the City of Bristol, held on the Public
Exchange, March 25, 1813.
" MAY IT PLICASI TOUR ROYAL HIGINZSI,
64 We, the Freemen, Burgesses, and inhabitants of the aattern
City of Bristol, in public meeting assembled, beg leave to ap
proach your Royal Highness, not in the language of unmeaning
adulation which would be as disgusting to the dignified mind of
your Royal Highness to accept,as it would be degrading and dip.
graceful In us as Englishmen to offer ; but we beg to be permitted,
in the language of truth and sincerity, humbly, though sealously
and firmly, to assure your Royal Highness, that we MI actuated
solely with the love of justice, when we declare, that we entertain
the most profound respect and veneration fox the character as
well as the most invincible attachment for the person of your
Royal Highness. We should indict the greatest torture upon
our feelings, if we were to neglect upon this occasion, to con-
gratulate your Royal Highness in terms the must unequivocal,
npoa the devel4pement of that conspiracy against your Royal
Highness, which has terminated in the most glaring exposure of
the wicked intentions of your suborned Accusers, the dtsconl6-
cure of your abandoned and perjured traducers ; and, at the same
time, the most unbounded acquittal of your Royal Highness, in
the eyes and hearts of every unprejudiced person in the universe.
But, it would be impossible to govern our feelings, if we were to
endeavour to express our abhorrence, In terms adequate to the

resentment we cntenain for those who were the promoters and
instigators of the false, detestable, and groundless accusations
against your character, for the base, cowardly, and cruel per.
pose, of bringing your illustrious Person to an untimely and
ig-
nonunlous death.

" We were delighted with that conscientious rectitude of soul,
which inspired your Royal Highness with the virtuous courao,
to demand of the House of Commons, that " you may be treat.
ed as innocent, or proved to be guilty." But We are far more
delighted with the result, which has proved :p the whole world,
that the character of your Royal Highness was impregnable to
the deadly and poisonous shafts of the most malignant and
cowardly slander.
" We have only to add, that by this severe trial we are con.
vinced that your Royal Highness has secured the love, the Irene.
ration, and the esteem of every manly and feeling heart in the
Empire. Long may your Royal Highness live to receive their
willing homage ! long may you enjoy the uninterrupted society
of your illustrious Daughter! And that you may always succeed
in frustrating the machmatiOns of all your enemies, is the sincere
and ardent prayer of your faithful, dutiful, and loyal fellow-sub•
jects, the Prernsen, Burgesses, and Inhabitants of the ancient
City of Bristol.—Signed ou behalf of the Meeting,
" ruttier hurtr."
Her Royal Highness then delivered to Lady CHAR,*
LOTTS LINDSAY a written Answer, which we here
insert:—

" 1 return my hest thanks to the Freemen, Burgesses, and
Inhabitants of the City of Bristol, who Lave been pleased to send
me this handsome testimony of their approbation of my cooduc,„
and their congratulations 04 the failure of that conspiracy which
tas wickedly contrived by
_perjured and suborned traducers,
against my life mid honour.'

Mr. Huar afterwards partook of a cold collation,
and departed for London; and it was not until some
time had elapsed, that the object of his visit was as.
certained. Much disappointraer.: was in consequence
experienced, and the multitude soon atter dispersed,
resolving to take some other opportunity of manifest,
ing their good wishes towards her Royal Flighisaas.

THE EVENING STAR

LONDON.

THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1819.

A letter put on board the packet which brought
the Gottenburgh Mails of yesterday, when on the
point of sailing, states that the Caowx PRINCE had
left Stockholm for Stralsund, and that an army of
19,000 men was embarked for the same destination,
making, with those which had before arrived in Po.
merania, a force of 26,000 swedes.
Another letter from Gottenburgh, dated the Sd
instant, says WITTZENERO will now be sent to
Copenhagen to demand of that Court its ultimatum,
and Denmark is to be distinctly told, that as she
could, in the Treaty of Tilsit, agree to divide Sweden
between herself and Russia, so can Sweden now re-
taliate, and co-operate with her Allies for the humi.
Nation of Denmark."

In another letter of the same date it is stated, that
in the projected Expedition from Carlscrona, the con-
tingent from England is to lie 8000 men, of Russia
35,000, and that Sweden is to employ the remainder.
Some of the accounts state, that the Emperor
ALUANDIR had himself written to the King of DEN.
MARX, reputing, that in three days his Majesty would
declare for or against the common entry.
The nature of the answer cannot be long a secret t
in the mean time we may perhap. from the follow;ng
circumstance, augur a favourable reply :—An Arne•
rican privateer, which lately sailed from Stockholm,
wa; captured by the Danish gun-boats, and carried
into Neustadt, for having, as is supposed, armed
Stockholm, contrary to law.
Another Oottenburgh Mail arrived this morning;
but as one of those of yesterday was of a later date,
its contents are of comparatively little importance.—
One of the letters states, that the Russians were to
occupy Hamburgh only for three weeks, after which
their place was to be supplied with Swedish troops;
it is evident, however, that this must be regulated is
some measure by contingencies.
Og the whole, the accounts by all these Mails are
