on a chargeinvolving everything that is dear to her

amidst the declamations of the multitude of all classes

were shewn first into the suite of rooms on the ground-
floor, and' afterwards Conducted into her MAJE:iTY'S
presence drawing-yoom, -Which was crowded to
excess. The following Address was then read to her
MAJESTY : '
'• M.stoastWhilst tin:runt:4s and tens of tionainds of our
fellaw.eubjects are approaching your Majesty with a:surances of
homage and hffection=whilst Addresses even from the remoter
Fart. of the kingdom are laid at yonr feet—permit us, your Ma-
le's neighbours, as elves, and the mistresses of styfamilies, in
and tear the Metropolis, to approach you.
" *We are unatcustomed to public acts, and uninfluenced by
ply feelings; yet we cannot be excluded from offering to your
Majesty's neriEU Fur sympathy and devotion. Grateful to the
Constitution under Which It is our happiness to live—saved also
by our rankeln the middle classes of society, from the dangers
attendant on high. rank or poverty, and .protected by our hus:
bands, we nay hardly be supposed judges of all the value of
your Majesty . conduct ; bast, Madam, we admire your mag-
r.animity, and we adore that womanly feeling which has made
your Majesty treat with contempt every offer, the tendency of
uhich was to compromise ou' boneaw, *Ad- we trhuok.you for
it in the nanse•ofvtu?,sex, • • ,
" Had your Majesty been treated with the respect due.to your
exalted rank, our hearts would have throbbed with ardent in-
terest in your.setsee, and with love to your person ' • and, treeing
to our husbands and ,runs all public expression of feeling,. we
should have coottitsi oars to our domestic circles; but Dew,
Madam, the indignation we feet for the cruel treatmentrof your
Majesty bursts every barrier between us,. ape we hasten to eA-.
Press at Your feet,' thltahnost overwhelming intersatwith WWI,
we are inspired: and be assured, Madam, our judzinents are
quite as much enlisted in your Majesty's service as our feelings;
for, added to :he dreadful charges against you are not nerri
crimes haunt] out by your enemies ? and Aew modes of judging
them, unknown alike to common law and common sense:—
Under these circumstances, scarcely less thau a miracle, we
think, can procure your justification, refused, as your Majesty
hai been, every means of fairly meeting the accusations against
)ou. We commit. yo'ur Majesty's cause to the integrity of your
own great mind; to the zeal, to the honour, and ability of your
1:gal advisers, who will have for their reward a nation's grad-
tele ; but, above all, to user all-seeing and merciful Gon—to
that Con whom no one can prevent our addressing, and teaching
chit Iren to address, iu fervent prayers for your protection.
" Madam, in simplicity of style, and sincerity of
heart, we her to subscribe ourselves
" Nour Majesty's dutiful, affectionate, and loyal
subjects and servants."
Her MAJESTY was graciously pleased to return the
following Answer:
" In this honest and affectionate Address from my Female
neighbours, who are wives and mothers of families in and near
the Metropolis, I gratefully acknowledge the sympathy which
they express for my many sorrows, and the indignation which
they feel for my unnumbered wrongs. The approbation of my
own sex must be ever dear to my heart ; and it must be more
particularly gratifying when it is the approbation of Mothers of
in and near this ministered Metropolis.
Ci when my honour is attacked, every loyal Englishwoman
fe.:l it as an imputation upon her own. The virtues of
SL7crei,;ns are not circumscribed in their influence, or iosulattch
ire their :1 eraions., 'nit). put in motion a wide circle of the
imitative propensity in the subordinate conditions of life. Thus
the virtues of the great become the property of the People ; and
flay re9ple are interested in preserving them from slanderous

contsmir.ation.
" Tile present procedure agaliwit me is Hie a wilful attempt
on the part of blind frenzy or improvident malice to destroy the
literal character of the monarchy. To lessen this moral charac-
ter jis rablie estimation, is not merely to degrade the Queen, but

" In this era of ceaseless change, and of violent agi ,
when whole nations seem tossed, like individuals, on thh ocean
of storms, no circumstances, however menacing, shall shake the
constancy of my attachment to the English Nation, or estrange
my affections from the general good. of the community. The
future is wiselreovered with an opaque cloud; but, whiteier
may be my destiny, ,I will cherish in all vicissitudes, and Oteb
serve in all fortunes, that resignation to the Divans will which,
in proportion as it becomes an habitual sentiment of the mind;
improves all its virtues, and elevates the general character."
After the presentation her -MAJESTY conversed in,
the most affable manner with several of the Ladies,
who had the honour of kissing the QUEEN'S hand.—
The Ladies then' returned to their carriages, and,
drove off, accompanied by the reiterated cheers of
the crowd, intermingled with shouts of " Long Hie
Queen CAROLINE!" During these demonstrations Of
affectionate attachment to the QVEEDT, her MAJLIITY,'
attended by Mr. Alderman WOOD, made her appear.:
ance at the drawing-room windows, and repeatedly

acknowledged by her gestures the sense she enter-
tained of the kindnees she had experienced. StiOrtly
after the Ladies' procession had retired, seven coaches,
each drawn by four horses, arrived with the Deput-
ation bearing the Address of the Inhabitants of Greer*.
with. The first coach contained the Officers of the
VeAry, and behind it stood the Beadles carrying their
maces. The second coach contained Bfr.VgitNvz an
Mr. GILES, the mover and seconder of the Address;
and the others contained some respectable inhabitants
of Greenwich. They met with a most gracious re-.
ception ; and her MAJESTY was pleased to return the
following Answer : •
" In this cordial, this friendly Address, the Inhabitants of
Greenwich have strongly excited my sympathies, and interested
my heart. In the most vivid manner they have recalled to my
memory those times over which oblivion will never throw a veil*
They have reminded me of those past days when I lived among
them, when I visited liseir houses and traversed their fields,
when I partook of their 'social festivities, and was united intheir
sacred rites; when I was rendered happy by ministering to the
wants of some, and by adding to the comforts of otheri; and,
above all, when my heart was lifted to Gon in gratitude because
my ears were cheered with the benedictions of the poor. This
is that period which the kind-hearted inhabitants of Greenwich
so powerfully recal to my recollection; nor can I ever be un-
mindful that it was a period in which I could behold that coun-
tenance which I never beheld withont vivid delight, and to hear
that voice which to nay fiind earl was like music breathing over
violets. Can I forget? •14 ; .nay'siml will never suffer me to
forget that, when the cold remains.cd. this beloved object were
deposited in the tomb, 'the malice of my persecutors would not

While the Greenwich Deputatioit -entre in attend!
ance upon her MAJESTY, Lord NVGEXT -111 r;
RICKFORD, the Members for AylesbOry, arrived with,
the Address from the inhabitants of. tho place. The
Noble Lord was recognised by persons among the
crowd, and his name re-echoed with great applause.
Her MAJESTY received the Address front Aylesbury
with great satisfaction, and was pleased to return the
following Answer :
" The Inhabitants of the Borough of Aylesbury have my
cordial thanks for this impressive testimony of their affectionate
regard. Whatever may leave been the afflictions with which I
have been visited by Paovroracz, I know my duty to Murat
too well to murmur at any of its dispensations. The sorrows
that are scattered over the surface of human life are usually
transient, thOugh often recurring. They come .and go—they de-
part and return, like the wind and the rain ; but my sorrows
en have not be f this kind. They have not merely Bitted over
my nerves in the shades of the evening, to disappear when the
East reddened with the dawn : they have been a long, a dark,
an almost interminable night. which malice, like that of a fend,
has thrown over my soul for a quarter of a century. But the I
People of England think that I have been sulCiently tortiu'est
by malignity and saddened by woe. 'Their vivid sympathies add
their glowing affections begin to dissipate the thick darkness that
covered my prospects, and to announce the day-spring of a life
more serene, when my sirrabgs shall be redressed, and sny perse-
cutions come to an end.
" Those persons Who could instigate or advise that the name
'of the Queen &bola, contrary to 111 usage, be. athwart in ode
national prayers, must have had their hearts far from GOD.-..
&Cis an omission is 'at variance with that charity without-which.

anioyg toe prodigies in the anneal historg.of.man. - It is the COlL-
trepity of bubarlsin in an age of high ovinzatinsi.' Because I
have violated -no law, a BID of Paint "and Penalties has been
introduced into the House of Lords to destroy me without law.
But the people of England have not minds of inert clay, or hearts
of impenetrable stone. They know, they esm, they feet my un-
paralleled wrongs. Every man, every woman, nay, every child,
alive to the sympathy they have inspired. Oppression always
sanctifies its object. In this order of things the ALMIGIN27 has
written his decree against cruelty and injustice."
A. considerable crowd remained collected in front
of her MAJESTY S restdence, in St. James'i-scptere,
throughout the day and evening, and a thinther of
coaches, filled by Ladies, passed in the eipectation
of obtaining a transient glimpse of the object Of so
much generous attachment. Such as were foitrinate
enough to obtain a view of the QUEEN, upon the oni
or two occasions when she made her appearanc
the windows, appeared highly gratified. Those vrli
were disappointed retired with mach evident chagiiip
Some pickpockets, as usual, made repeated effortitit,

behalf by the numerous visitors she received in the
course of the day. -
