WARD OF CHEAP MEETING.

Yesterday, a Wardmote of the Inhabitants of tilt
Ward of Cheap was held at the King's Head Tavern,
in the Poultry, for the purpose of taking Into consi-
deration the propriety of passing a loyal, dutiful, and
affectionate Address to his MAJESTY. The Meeting
was highly numerous and respectable. Aideinran
ROTHWELL in the Chair.
The CHAIRMAN opened the business of the day ty
reading the Requisition, which had only been handed
to him on Saturday, when he immediately called tl:e
Meeting, as he should always conceive it his duty to
do when required by a respectable number of his czz.-
stituents, however opposite to his sentiments, as
made it i point never to suffer his own private npi.
nions to interfere with those of his constituents. lit
first intimation of the former Meeting had beeq re•
ceived by him whilst sitting at his breakfast, at Hali-
fax, and he must say, that he had been extremely
gratified with the conduct of the Ward in steppin
forward as they had done upon that occasion. 'lle
worthy Alderman concluded by requesting of the
Meetin;, that they would treat respectfully those
who might differ from them in sentiment.
Mr. jAMER, in rising to move the first Resolution
which would be submitted to the Meeting, oberved,
that it was one which he had no doubt would be ac-
cepted unanimously, as it was a simple declaration
of loyalty and attachment to the Throne and Consti-
tution which had been assented to by every perwn
to whose he had shewn it, of whatever patty, whc-
ther Whig or Tory, without hesitation. He did not
take-the lead in this business from any desire to ren-
der himself prominent, but he should never liesitale
to present himself in times of imniinent.danger like
the present. A class of persons, neither Wliigs nor
Tories, had arisen of late, and sought every opportu-
nity of promoting discord and confusion by the most
powerful endeavours, who had, he was convinced,

only for their object the destruction of all property.
Although the Legislature bad, very property, prohi-
bited them from meeting in large bodies, those men,
however, were now about as active in mischief as
ever, and it was necessary for the loyal to srep.for.
ward to counteract their endeavours. With regard
to another matter which had recently agitated the
public mind, be conceived that the introduction c f
it would be foreign to the matter before them, and
it would tend to promote dissention, for he knew that
loyal men had different views upon the subject.—
Equally foreign to the matter upon which they met,
.would be any discussion with relation to the conduct
Lof his Majesty's Ministers. They had been told, that
the object of these Declarations was anything but
loyalty. He should be glad if those Gentlemen would
point out to them what was and what was not loyalty.
It had been said of them, that they arrogated to them..
selves to be exclusively loyal. He protested against
this charge as utterly unfounded. They did not, by
their declarations, impute anything against those
who did not choose to join in them. It had been ob-
jected, that Addresses of loyalty were superfluous,
and that this was not the time for them. lithe loyal
and well-disposed slept on their post in such direful
times, the tide of disaffection would become so strong
as to render it extremely dangercins for them to corns
forward at any future period to declare their senti-
ments—(Hear, hear!).—The matter for their con-
sideration was merely a declaration of their attach-
ment to the Constitution, which would not inter-
fere with the political opinions which Gentlemen pre-
sent might hold. Looking at the matter, therefore,
in this point of view, he would ask whether the Con-
stitution had not been attacked?—(Hear, hear).—
The Constitution, they all knew, was composed of
the three States—of King, Lords, and Commons.
Now he would ask whether the sacred person of the
King had not been insulted in most licentious libels,
tending to bring him into hatred and contempt ?
Whilst upon this subject, he would mention, that
they would have had a very great many more sig-
natures to the late declaration of auschosent to his

Majesty's person, if the Declaration had issued from
a Wardmete, instead having been got up in the
manner it was. These libels, holding up the person
of the Sovereign to ridicule and contempt, tended
seriously to endanger the Constitution; for the effect
was the same, whether the Constitution was attacked
through the Commons, or any other branch of it.
Looking at the House of Lords as another branch of
the Constitution, had it not been held up to con-
tempt, by calling the Members composing it the
tools of Ministers? and it had been said but the
other day, " that to call the House of Lords a Court
of Law was a calumny." If this Court, which they
had been taught to look up to as the last Court, or
denier resort, in cases of. appeal, was thus to be
held up to contempt, there would be no security for
property. The House of Commons had been called
corrupt, and be knew not what. It had been said
that it would be a public benefit if the Members
were led out of the House by the ears. He could
not look upon these things without thinking a de-
claration of loyalty and attachment to the Consti-
tution, which was thus traduced, highly necessary.
The speaker next adverted to a system of libelling,
which had done considerable mischief; he meant
libels under the form of carieatures--a system which
seemed to him to be particularly injurious to the
morality of the country. The speaker then adverted
to the attacks which, he said, had been made upon
the religion of the country. They saw, in an adjoin-
ing country, that in order to bring about Revolution,
they first set about to destroy and sap the foundaticn
of religion. Religion taught them their duty to su-
periors, and as long as the People were firm in their
faith, property would be secure. The speaker nut
adverted to the abuses which, be said, had been
made of the Liberty of the Press. In doing this, he
expressed that he was treading upon hazardous
ground, and that he was exposing himself to great
personal danger from that powerful engine. If the
evils complained of did not derive their source from
the Press, they were supported by the Press, which
had been made an instrument of for the occasion.
He next commented on the conduct of the Radicals,
whose object, he was convinced, was to get their
hands into their (" our pockets," the speaker said)
pockets. It was a contest between poverty, restless-
ness, wantonness, and respectability. The orator
observed, that he would rather incur censure by
coming forward on such occasions, than shrink when
in the midst of danger so imminent. He did net
believe that the cause which he supported was to be
injured by a bad advocate. lie concluded by moving

a Resolution expressive of the unshaken attachment'
of the Meeting to the person of the King and the
Constitution, and of their abhorrence of the endea-
%ours of the seditious to degrade the one, and to de-

stroy the other.
Mr. WHITMORE seconded the Resolution, which
was carried unanimously.
Mr. REECE moved an Address founded upon the
Resolution. Mr. Reece read the Address, upon
which he made some observations.
Mr. SPEICCER seconded the Address in a short
speech. The loyal ought to step forward, and stem
the wide torrent of sedition. The Sovereign had
been told the other day, that if he did not dismiss
his Ministers, the People of this country had not an
alternative beta een Revolution and a Military De-
spotism. This, lie said, was a libel on the Sovereign,
ca the Ministry, and on the Ward of Cheap.
Mr. LEDGER said, he agreed most perfectly with
the declarations of loyalty made in the Address.—
These declarations were meant to counteract the Peti-
tions about to be presented to the Throne relative to
the matter of the prosecution of the Queen--(Cries
of No, no!" and " Hear, hear").—At least, that
would be their effect. He approved of the matter
of the Address, but not as it tended to throw a slur
of disloyalty upon those who might not choose to
sign it. He conce.ved that the Constitution had re-
ceived a most dangerous blow by the prosecution
aeainst her Majesty—(Cries of Hear._ hear) !-
1)e concluded by proposing an •Amendmsnt to the
Address—that a paragraph should be added to it to
the effect, that the Meeting could not avoid eipress•
ing their regret at the institution of the late prOceed-
ings against his Majesty's Consort, and its extreme
gratification at their abandonment--(Hear, hear)!
Mr. Jonas seconded the Amendment.
Mr. JAMES said, that he conceived that the matter
of the Amendment was so foreign to the subject,
that it could not even be put. He objected to it in
limine. The adoption of the Amendment would do
away with all pretensions of the Address as a loyal
and dutiful one ; and if the Address was carried with
the Amendment, it would give him great pleasure to
we it treated in the manner another Loyal Address
was treated the other day.
Mr. WETHERSPOON approved of a great deal cf
the loyalty in the Address, but he certainly agreed
with the former speaker, that it had the appearance
of throwing a slur of disloyalty, blasphemy, or se-
dition, on those who did not choose to sign it. It
was true that be had refused to sign the Declaration,
but because he did so; would any man say that he
was disloyal or irreligious? He was fervently de-
voted to the Church of Scotland, and held a Cap-
taiu's Commission in the Army. But was he, on
that account, to go all the way with Ministers, and
to agree with everything which they might do
or say ?—(Hear, hear).
Mr. GOULD spoke to order, and said, that the
speaker was quite irrelevant to the object of the pre-
sent Meeting.
The CHAIRMAN gave his opinion, that the speaker
was out of order.
Mr.; WurnsasPoost contended that be was strictly
role-ant. He contended that there were such things
as constitu- o' and unconstitutional loyalty. He
gave it as his opin on, that nothing had done more
to degrade the higher orders, ,and to overturn the
Altar, than the late proceedings against the Queen.
He was proceeding, when he was interrupted by
Mr. SHARPE, who said, that if Mr. Wetherspoon
consented to discuss the Address as it stood, there
could be no objection to his speaking; but, if he
wished to bring other matters before the Ward, he
had better procure a Requisition for a Meeting upon
those subjects, when he (Mr. Sharpe) pledged him-
self he would meet him upon it.
Mr. GIBSON contended, that Mr.Wetherspoon was
strictly in order. They were met to consider of a
dutiful, loyal, and affectionate Address, in which
they expressed their abhorrence of the spirit of sedi-
tion, blasphemy, and disloyalty, which was abroad,
to the endangering of his Majesty's person and Go-
vernment. If he was of opinion that this spirit of
sedition and disloyalty, which endangered his Ma-
jesty's person and Government, was produced by
those proceedings against the Queen, was he not per-
fectly in order in stating it ? and was it not right to
snake such alterations as would render the Address
much more loyal and dutiful ?
The CHAIRMAN again said, that the speakers were
out of order.
Mr. Gram; said, that the law had been set at de-
fiance by the unconstitutional proceedings against
the Queen—(Disapprobation).—Was he to be told,
that he must have the Address submitted, or no other?
Mr. SHARPE hoped that the amendment would be
allowed to be put.
An uproar ensued, when the CHAIRMAN said he
v:ould take the sense of the Meeting. He was inter-
noted several times by the contending speakers.
The CHAIRMAL.--" I decline taking the responsi-
bility of refusing to have this subject discussed, upon
myself; therefore, for the third time, I proceed to
take the sense of the Meeting. 'Those that are of
cpinion that this question shall be discussed, hold up
roar hands."
The contrary being put, there appeared to be a
Large majority against the motion. The decision was
1.11. ed with loud shouts.
Mr. GIBSON, Mr. LEDGER, Mr. JONES, and Mr.
Wzrni:nspoox, left the room amidst much confusion,
followed by a number of other Gentlemen, who de-
, climes' that the discussion was at an end.
f The Address, in its original form, was then carried
with only one dissentient hand.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman, when the
)lec:ing separated.

The nine Incorporated Trades of Dundee, at a
:Meeting on Thursday se'nnight, approved of an Ad-
Cre,s of Congratulation to her MAJESTY the Quaint,
en the result of the late proceedings against her, and
another to the KING, praying him to dismiss his pre-
sent Ministers.

An Address from Newcastle-upon-Tyne was pre-
spnted to her MAJESTY on Monday last, signed by
cPS3 inhabitants.
There is at present a Vacancy in the Ministry of
the Church of the Caledonian Asylum, Cross-street,
ilatton-garden. The appointment is vested in the
Directors of that Institution. The officiating Clergy-
man is required to preach in Gaelic as well as in
n7li >l7.

bLASdOir, DECEMBER ii;
COPY 01 THE L.RD PROVOST'S Mitt/LAE.
" 13, Qurmi-stacirr, Moitnix Monona.
" Sut—ln consequence of a Requisition to me, I beg you to
attend a Meeting in the Town-hall, this day, at two o'clock, to
consider the propriety of an Address in mpport of the King and
Constitution. Your's, lery respectfully, •
(gibed) "J. ALSTON."
A note, of which the foregoing is a copy, was this
morning sent round to a select number of persona
who are supposed to have strong predilections in
favour of Ministers, and who were lately denomi-
nated by Dr. CHALMERS, in one of his Sermons,
whippers-in to Administration?' Being sent to
some individuals whom recent events have served to
enlighten, the secret of the Public Meeting soon got
air, and at a late hour a placard was exhibited, ap-
prizing the citisens of the Meeting.
Though everything was done so hurriedly, so many
Gentlemen of independent principles attended, that,
at twenty minutes past two o'clock, the LORD Pao.'
verr rose, and said that he was very much surprised
to see so many persons present who were not in-
vited, and he begged to inform them that they had I
no right to be there, as it was -a private Meeting ;
and he now ordered them to withdraw. A man,
found in the street with a placard, mentioning that
it was to be a Public Meeting, had been taken into
custody ; and not only he, but the author, if he
could be found, would be severely punished. The
loyal Address was lying in the coffee-room for sig-
natures, and he again ordered the Meeting to dismiss
at their peril.
Tnoatas Mum, Esq. of Muirbank, then rose and
inquired of the Provost if it was true that a circular
had been issued for " meeting in the Town Hall ?"
The LORD PROVOST said he had called a Meeting,
but it was a private one ; and none who were not
invited had any right to be there.
Several Gentlemen then rose, and insisted that as
the Meeting was held in the Public Hall, for a public
purpose, every citizen had a right to attend.
The LORD PROVOST said he could not allow this ;
as he had ordered the people to depart, those who
remained did so at then peril. He then sprung down
from the Chair amidst the most vehement hissing
and loudest bursts of disapprobation, and rushed
towards the door, followed by a few of the small
party who were originally intended to constitute the
Meeting. On going out he exclaimed, apparently
in the highest passion, " lock the door, and secure
these Gentlemen." As soon as the hissing had sub-
sided, the cries of " Chair, Chair," became general,
when a Gentleman, with a strong voice, cried " obey
the Magistrates." Three cheers were then given for
the defeat of the circular gentry ; and then other
three cheers for the Queen.
The persons thus thwarted are understood to have
retired to a room in the Tontine Hotel (adjoining); and
there, without opposition, adopted their Address.

HANLEY, STAFFORDSHIRE, MEETING.

Tuesday, pursuant to public advertisement, for the
Inhabitant Householders of Hanley and Shelton, and
other districts in Stoke Parish, to meet and sanction
a Loyal Mdress to his MAJESTY, about three thob-
sand persons assembled, and notwithstanding the
very unpleasant rain, a spirit of satisfaction appeared
general. About eleven o'clock, JOSIAH &Kam, Esq.
and I. Tommtcsox, the Lay Rector of the Parish, ar-
rived, and were partially cheered by the persons in
the Market-place ; but as they withdrew to a private
room, instead of entering the Assembly Room, u
supposition was raised that there was a design to
smuggle an Address, without the concurrence of the
persons assembled. After some minutes, several Gen-
tlemen, followed into the room, and it soon becank
crowded. About half-past eleven o'clock, loud cheer-
ing without was heard, on the arrival of Sir Joust
EDENSOR H&ATHCOTE and two friends; and, in a few
minutes, thunders of plaudits astonished at first, but
were soon re-echoed by the persons inside, at the
names of WEDGWOOD and RIDGWAY, who now en-
tered the room.
A Gentleman having proposed Sir Jost): EDENSOR
HILATHCOTE as Chairman, who immediately ob-
jected and refused,
Mr. R. STEVENSON politely inquired where the Re-
quisition had originated ? He remarked on the pe-
culiar character of the Meeting, that he had not been
able to trace its commencement to any person; be
thought it highly injudicious, on such a question, at
such a time, to agitate the public mind, by calling
on the Inhabitant Householders ; and inquired, who
of the Requisitionists was the father of the business,
whether the Clergyman, or a sprig of the Law, not a
Householder? Not one person of Requisitionists
could be found to avow it.
Mr. TOMLINSON professed to allow freedom of opi-
nion, but, at the same time, solicited the same in-'
dulgence for himself; he knew nothing of how it ori.
gloated. He then stated, that he had no.idea there
would have been such numbers present, as he was not
aware that their presence was any way at all requi-
site ; for his part, he regarded the Meeting as for a
specific purpose, yet that purpose was for the few
who were of the same sentiments with him, to pass
a Loyal Address to his Majesty, and afterwards
quietly return home.—The majority of persons in
the room, and which included many of the Gentry
.of the Parish, had a different view.
C. filstou, Esq. proposed Mr. R. Stevenson as
Chairman, and the applause consequently increased.
Some bustle now arose in the Meeting : on which
J. Rwoway, Esq. rose, and assured the Requisi-
tionists, that a little patience only was requisite, and
then all the business of the Meeting might be con-
ducted with propriety and good order, and the whole
be creditable to all parties as free-born Englishmen.
It was now very obvious that there were two series
of Resolutions, and two Addresses ; and to meet the
object in view, a proposition was submitted by Mr.
DREWRY, that Sir J. E. Heathcote, A. Wedgwood,
jun. Mr. Ridgway, Mr. Stevenson, and the Rev.
R. E. Adkens, should retire and confer on the Ad-
dress, &c. most suitable to the views of the Meeting,
and embracing the particular objects of the Requi-
sition. This step was hoped to meet the wishes of
all parties, and prevent any unpleasant manifesta-
tion of popular irritation, which now appeared to
be gathering strength.
The company was now become very uncomfort-
able in reference to several of the Requisitionists. J.
SPODE, Esq. literally bolted through a window on the
Bowling-green, and as soon as possible entered his

. „
iarriage, and drove Of, foltoweil by iiany of hit ac-'
qtkintahce. It was evident the Meeting could not
be holden in the moil (:apposing the Gentlemen con-
ferring agreed), and a convenient hustings of butchers'
blocks was formed at the top of the Market•hill.
Mr 6 RIDGWAY entered the room about twelve
o'clock, and informed the company, that as the per-
ions who had withdrawn to confer on the Address;
could not agree to unite, they had agreed to differ,
He then proposed as Chairman the, worthy nAtiite
Gentlentan, Benjamin Stubbs, Esq. High Constible;
which *as unanimously agreed to ; and the Meeting
was ithmediately adjourned into the Market-place.
As soon as order and silence were obtained,
J. RIDGWAY, Etat. commenced, by requesting that
the Meeting would be so conducted, as that every
person might be heard, and as it was probable there
was much difference of opinion amongst them, he
hoped and trusted, that the utmost liberality of sene
timent would prevail. There had been different calls,
at different times, on them for various purposes; but
never before were Inhabitant Householders called to-
gether by persons, some of them neither Inhabitantsnor
Householders. They were met for purposes calcu-
lated to promote general benefit, and to approach the
Throne without fear, in a becoming and respectful,
manner. In reference to himself, he would not yield
to any person in loyalty ; he felt a sincere and be-
coming love to his King ; he ever and constantly
had his hearty prayers ; but he also loved his coun-
try, and while he felt as much as any of the Re-
quisitionists inclined to address the King, he must
be allowed to say, he still venerated The Constitution.
The Requisitionists had, by their language, insinu-
ated a doubt of the loyalty of the neighbourhood,
and, as supposing only themselves were loyal, had
designed to express their sentiments, and forward
them for the opinions of the generality of the inha-
bitant householders. Whilst he (Mr. Ridgway) was
ready to agree to address his Majesty, and assure
him of the attachment felt to his person, he could
not agree to stigmatise all the people of the Pot-
, teries as disloyal, in the manner the words of the
Requisition would insinuate. The manner in which
it was now intended to address his Majesty was very
different from that of those who had withdrawn

from this Meeting. There was a wide distinction
between addressing the King as loyal subjects, avow-
ing attachment to him and to the Constitution, and
addressing the King so as tacitly to approve all the
measures of his Ministers. Mr. Ridgway observed
how needful it was that the Meeting should not for-
get the importance of their situations as subjects,
parents, members of civil society, &c. and always
prove by their good conduct their loyalty to the
King, and their attachment to the Constitution, by
due regard to the laws. He ended a very able and
appropriate speech by moving the Address, which
was read ; and
R. STEVIDISON, Esq. congratulated the Meeting
en their firmness under their unpleasant state (heavy
rain); it proved that the way of duty to them was
always sufficiently known. They had often been
called together twenty or twenty-five years ago, to
vote loyal Addresses, at the beck of the Minister of
the day, and to offer supplies to carry en the war;
peed by the manner in which they conducted them:.
elves, and coatyibuted part of their hard-earned pit-,
tance, they • were then called the Loyal Inhabitants
lof the Staffordshire Potteries; for however little
some had contributed, it was, in fact, the widow's
mite. 'They had borne every species of privation, and
cheerfully aided, to the utmost of their means, to
bring to a favourable conclusion a most expensive and
bloody war ; and perhaps some of them yet reflected
with pleasure, that the endeavours of themselves
and their fellow-Englishmen had been successful.
—They had some little property in the country, and
therefore could not be supposed disloyal; indeed,
they proved that they deserved the appellation of in-
dependent Englishmen—of teal John Bulls, by their
firmness and invincible attachment to the Constitu-
tion, that palladium of their birth-right. But what
had the peace done for us compared to our expecta-
tions ? Had it procured that plenty of trade which
was calculated to employ the mechanics and artisans,
and call into exertion all the faculties of the manu-
facturer, and by its wide extension to afford both
the employers and their work-people means to sup-
port themselves and tender offspring, and enable
them to pay their quota towards the expenses of the
State, the contingencies of the Government, and the I
ample provision for the King ? He was wry sorry
to have to remark that the picture was so gloomy,
he would not further present it. He then seconded
the Address.
Previous to moving the third Resolution,
' W. RIDGWAY, Esq. considered himself bound to
make a few observations. The Requisition, which
had been completely disavowed by its parents, men-
tioned attachment to the Constitution, coupled with
loyalty to the King. There was a tacit insinuation
that it was possible, somewhere and somehow or other,
in the range of the Potteries, there probably nesiphf
exist, in some minds, a latent disposition to be db-
loyal ; and the Requisitionists were eager to inform
the people that themselves were not so disposed.—
Perhaps the late manifestations of satisfaction at the
termination of a particular procedure, might be by
them regarded as disloyal, as their silence on that
subject seemed to evince. They certainly would not
have the hardihood to assert, that any symptoms of
disloyalty were apparent among the population of
this district ; and he trusted, that when next these'
sisper•loyal persons called on the inhabitant house-
holders, proper care would be taken to permit only
the names of those persons who were such themselves,
and not endeavour to foist on the public notice, per-
sons who, if they were not foragners, were corn=
pletely strangers to people they had the temerity to
stigmatize. But what was understood by the word COW
STITUTIOX, for it had been applied in numerous ways?
If a Minister commences an expensive and disastrous
war by interfering with-the internal politics of ano-
ther nation, we were told it was to preserve the Con-
stitution. If a Noble Lord was found trafficking for
mats in the House of Commons—as notorious as the
Sun at noonday—it was to preserve the Constitution,
If measures were adopted to restrict the Liberty of
.the Press, and the expression of private opinion, it
was' to preserve the Constitution. If a suspension ofi
certain laws took place, subjecting every English-
man, at the caprice of persons in official situations,
without any statement of his offence, to be taken
from his home and family, and be incarcerated for
an unlimited period, without bug brought totriuli

or hating afterward* any means of obtaining ley)
redress, it is to preserre the CODltittltiOth 911 I 1 teimuk.
iple any object of Ministers might be said. to be
intended to preset* the. Conitjtutioni, even though,
they might be particolarry well Calculated tit.
vent and destroy that ConstitutiOn—(Applaiss).-
He loved the Constitution, consisting of a King',.
tog with due iegard to, as well as supported by, ac'
knowledged laws; a House 'of Lords, hereditary, and
%lir their wealth rendered independent of the Monarch;
and Watchful alike of any infringerbent on hii prero-
gative, and on the rights of thiPeople ; a House of
Commons, fairly add freely elected by the large
places in the kingdoin, not by little villages; its bore
lesque called Boroughs, with their mass ofinhabitauts
' mere paupers, support by the wages of corruption
such a Constitution, of King; Lords, and Commons;
he was as steadily attached to as any of the ltequisi.
tionists could be ; and hebelieved the persons he was
addressing were equally so.. But, while it was ad-
mitted, as a part of the Constitution; that no Pee*
shall by any means interfere in the idection of a
Member of the House of Commons; get many of the
Mei bers. of that. House are placed in their seats by
Peers and wealthy Commoners;'he most again say;
a there a great latitude of application in the
.words to the Co,istilittibn ; and it was vert•
possible that the Requisitionists might view all those
as advantages thereof. For his part, he regarded the
Constitution, as formed of King, Lords, and Corsi-
mons, of Trial by Jury. - unshackled Liberty of the
.Press, and a due regard to the[ administration of the .
Laws, so as to inflict punishment wherever they be
violated by any member of the body politic. To this
Constitution he was decidedly attached.
The Marquis of STAFFORD and Lord Amami are
to present the Address...—The Meeting was concluded
as the bell rang one o'clock.

Her MAJESTY returned the following Answer to
the Address from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Com•
mon Council of the city of Gloucester.

f' I gratefully ateept this loyal and affectionate Address front
the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of the city of

Gloucester.
" The conduct of my enemies has furnished no uncertain
proof of their malignity and of my innocence. Before they
ventured to bring me even to the mockery of a judicial trial,
they had employed every possible expedient by which to aspen*
my character, to prejudge my cue, and to cause me to be con-
demned without proof. The exclusion of my name from the
Liturgy was designed to pre-occupy the minds of the People
with an impression that I was dissolute and licentious. This
unwarrantable prepossession of my guilt WU next attempted to
be scattered over the world in the nefarious Preamble of the

DIU of fsins and Penalties. When my enemies were so power-
ful, their resources so vast, and the mean,- which they had taken
to prepare the way for my destruction so subtle, deliberate, and
systematic, it must seem surprising that I should have escaped
the fangs of a conspiracy so artfully combined.—But while 1 am
deeply indebted to those all-wise provisions of the moral world,
by odd& truth and innocence are secured against the machina-
ofirmid and falsehood, I must never forget the intoner.
'OW uippect which I have received front the Press."
The following is her MAJEETT's Answer to the
Boston Address, presented by GILBERT HEATH.

Her MAJESTY'S Answer to the Address front the
Inhabitants of the Parish of Andisier, in the county
of Inverness.,
I gratefully accept this loyal and affectionate Address fro=
the Inhabitants of the parish of Ardisier, in the county bf In-
verness. I am cheered by their sympathies with my former
snaring% sad gratMed by their congramktions on my recent
triumph over my enemies. My joy on account of that triumph
may well be participated by the Pespk of these Realms, for the
same enemy that would have me of sty rights, would
not long have left them in poMessian of their liberties. My de.
gradation would have been the precursor of their servitude."

COVENT GARDEN TititATElL—Mr. VANDIVER:ME
appeared last night in Sir Giles Onerreach, and was
received with triumphant favour. He *hewed to
happy advantage, many of those pleasing and valu-.
able qualities of his art, viz. great purity of declama-
tion in poetic passagei—a total freedom from affecta-
tion—an unobstrusive, but unequivocal display of in-
tellectual cultivation, and a most complete and mir
form conception of the character he had to represent.
Mr. C. KENELE represented Welborn with peculiar
excellence: and the parts of Mardi and the greedy
Justice were very entertaining in the hands of Mi
PARER)/ and Mr. BLANCHARD. The part of La*
Allsoortil was performed with much propriety by Mrs
Beton', of Drury-Lane; and Miss FOOTE was a very
interesting representative of Margaret. The repeti-
tion of the Play was announced for Saturday, amidst
very lively and general applause.
