TO HENRY BROUGHAM, ESQ. M. P.

SIR—We are deputed by a respectable body Qf
Citizens to address you in the warmest terms, for the
very manly and energetic manner in which you hive
advocated the cause of an injured and persecuted in-
dividual, the Queen of ENGLAND ; not only in the
House of Commons, in the dignified capacity of an
honest and independent )presentative, but more
particularly at the Bar of the Lords, as her MA..
JESTY'S Legal Adviser ; inhrhich latter situation you
have displayed such profound knowledge, acuteness,
and sensibility, combined with such firmness and in-
trepidity of mind, as will always endear you to the
English People, and procure you the admiration of
posterity, as the preserver of our rights, the protec •
tor of the oppressed, and the guardian and defender
of an Illustrious Female, whose multiplied and un- ,
merited insults and persecutions have already ob-
tained her the sympathy and friendship of a very
great majority of the people, who would readily sa-
crifice their lives and fortunes in her defence, rather
than abandon the most unfortunate and unprotected
woman in the world, at the shrine of Ministerial in-
fluence and corruption.
We are confident, Sir, from the dignified firmness
already displayed by you in behalf of the QueeN, and
the late powerful and energetic appeal made by her
MAJESTY, that no occurrence will ever deter you
from exercising, on behalf of the QUEEN, those ener-
gies'li
which you so eminently possess. Indeed, Sr,
your firmness has been alteady exemplified and put
to the test ; your unshaken fidelity to your injured
Royal Client has been sufficiently, and, we may add,
satisfactorily demonstrated to the world, and your'
great exertions in her behalf have established your
reputation, both as a Lawyer and a Statesman.
It we were permitted to take a retrospective view
of the QUEEN'S unhappy situation—her accusers—
and the sy,,tematic and unrelenting manner in which
she has been pursued by her enemies, from*the time
she became the consort (A his present MAJESTY, down,
to the present period—the accumulated insults and
injuries heaie.:d upon her—together with the scur-
rilous and slanderous attacks made on her char.wter
by the Ministerial Journals, how would the heart re•
coil at the manifold wrongs so wantonly and mali-
ciously levelled against her life and honour! • Yet,
Sir, if we were to divest ourselves of those feelings
which every virtuous mind is presumed to have in
favour of the QUEEN—if we were to admit, for argu-
ment sake, that she had been the most abandoned
and profligate of women, and had been guilty of the
crimes imputed to her, yet, we assert, that by the
laws of the country, no person ought to be treated as
guilty, until they have been found so by a fair, open,
and impartial trial,and been plot:ounce(' so by the Fro-
per Tribunals of the country, and with a fuU view ot all
the provocations and neglect suffered by the accused.
But it unfortunately litypcims for this distinguished
and Illustrious Personage, that a system of jut ispru-
denee, equally despi zie as that pursued. in the most
arbitrat y times, is now attempted to be established
by the Ministers of the Crown—a system calculated
to deprive the QUEEN of ENGLAND of the protection
of those laws which have none been denied to the
humblest and poorest individual.
A Bid of Pains and Penalties has been introduced
by Ministers into the house of Lords. to deprive her
MAJESTY of the honours of her exalted situation, and
punish her for imputed crimes hitherto not proved
against her !
If this odious Bill should ever receive the sanction
of Parliament, what individual -in the country could
consider himself safe ? The life and property of
every man wonld hencerorth be at the mercy of the
Crown 1 The idea itstfll, Sir, is of so terrible and
alarming a nature, that it is the duty of every honest'
man to protest agait:st so unwarraie:,:ble and unna•
tut al an inflingetnent of his rights and
Ex-pest Joao laws are ever to be execrated. •
therefore, S:r, presume, most respectfully, to
offer you our oi:htion cn the present alarming evil,
when a crisis, too dreadful and awful to reflect upon,
is on the eve of teaming asunder our social and poll-
tical institutions, and involving the Nation in anarchy
and ruin. We confidently believe, Sir, that it can
only be averted by your powetful genius and inde-
fatigable exertions in behalf of the QUEEN: and her
ultimate and complete triumph over her enemies.
Impressed with thins:: feelings, we beg leave to
sabsciibe ourselves, Sir, your most obedient servants,
THOMAS WALL, Milkman.

Bay Tree Taveru, St. Smi:hin'a-lane, Aug. 14, DM.

Yesterday a Meeting of the Inhabitant House-1
holders of the Ward of Cripplega:e I‘'ithout, was
held in the body of St. Giles s Church, Ctipplegate,
fur the put poke of voting an Address of Congratu-
lation to her MAJ/DiTV. Alderman WOOD presided,
and the pews and genet ies were excessively crowded.
Several Resolutions, expressive of their admiration
of the QUEEN'S character and conduct, were read
and cal-lied, and the Address was agreed to unani-
mously. A Deputation was then formed to wait on
the QUFUN, for the purpose of ascertaining at what
time her MAJEsTY would be pletsed to receive
the Address.

Tuesday Mr. SCOTT, the Member for Bridpolt,
presented an Address from that town to her MAJESTY.

The following is her MAJavry's Answer to the
Alston Address :

" I cannot be insensible to the obligations which I owe to
the Inhabitants of Alston and its vicinity, for this affectionate
Address.

" When I had been for some years upon the Continent,
was told that the people of England had forgotten me in my ab-
sence, and that I had become an object of indifference and aver-
sion. But Ino sooner appeared on the British shore, than the
whole kingdom seemed to have only one heart and one voice ;
and, while that heart selt for my sufferings, that voice was raised
in generous acclamations of transport and joy at my return.
" If I had experienced from the Government the attention
due to my rank--if I had received the homage of the Priblie
Authorities in a manner suitable, to the high dignity of Queen
Consort of these realms, the people might have contemplated
me with little more than ordinary regard ; the parade of Royalty
would have diminished the sympathy for the sufferings of the
Queen. The homage of the noble would have chilled the ardour
of sympathy in the middle and inferior ranks. But, when the
people beheld me insulted and reviled, strippc&of ail the trap-
pings of authority, and sheltering my head in the, hour of a pri-
vate Gentleman, they instantly rallied round my person with
enthusiastic devotedness, and convineed me that no Sovereign
can be so secure as in the affections of the people. All the pomp
of Royal power is but mere empty pageantry where it is not
supported by that heartfelt, spontaneous, unbought love of the
Nation, which, in this enlightened age, 141 never be conferred
upon any Sovereign vtho is nit i Mend to the freedom and the
happiness of ivakisid."

VIENNA, AUGUST 6.
The Court Gazette of to-day contains the follow-
ing article:—" We have been required by the Em-
bassy of his Majesty the King of GREAT BRITAIN
to the Imperial Court, to insert in our paper the fol-
lowing' Declaration, viz.—, That the statements
which are contained in an ankle dated Vienna, in
No: 215 of the Algemeixe Zeitung, of August 2, this
year, respecting several witnesses on the trial of the
Queen of ENGLAND, in reference to the British Em-
bassy, are mere fictions and lies.'"
ANCONA, JULY 27.
Accounts from Joanuina state, that Ata PAcHA
had -another interview with the English Governor of
the Islands; the latter declared to him, that he had
not to expect any aid or mediation from the English
Government, which cannot have any connection with
the rebellious subjects of the GRAND SEIGNOR, as it
is at peace with the Porte.

SWITZERLAND, AUGUST 7.
Accounts from Marseilles say, that inquiries, are
making there for a large house for the PRINCE of
PEACE, as he intends to leave Rome and Italy.
The Neapolitan merchant ships will sail under the
old flag.
The accounts from Lombardy do not mention
any movements of troops ; it is only known that there
is a frequent exchange of Couriers between Milan
and Vienna, and that the Viceroy, Archduke RAIN-
NER is extremely occupied. No passports are given ,
for Lower Italy, except to persons who have received
from the Austrian Government. express permission
to travel. All strangers, as well Italians as others,
are very narrowly watched, and their passports most
rigorously examined. Persons passing through Sxvir.
zerland into Austrian Italy must have, besides the
passports they bring fronr home, the ctiuntersign of
the Ambassador or Charge d'Affairs of their Courts
in Switzerland; and in case there is none, that of M.
V. SCIIRANT, the Austrian Ambassador in Switzer-
land. Several persons who 'lately passed St. Gothard
have returned, because they had not valid passports,
or they were not countersigned.
