After claiming the right of petitioning the Throne,
k expressed the sorrow Ild indignation of the Petip
tioners that, without his Majesty's sanction, or that
of the Legislat,ire, certain overtures had been made
to her Majesty Queen Caroline, by an agent acting
under the immediate direction of his Majesty's ser-
vants, which had for their avowed object the trea-
sonable design of inducing the Queen, by an illegal
bribe and an audacious threat, to renounce her just
right to a participation in the Throne of these realms.
It concluded by praying that his Majesty would in-
stitute such an inquiry into the conduct of his ser-
vants as might bring to punishment those persons
who should be convicted of these treasonable pro-
ceedings.j He concluded by moving the following
Amendment to the Resolution

" That the government of these realms is administered by the
king, whose power is limited by law ; but that a regal power
;o limited is incompatible with an arbitrary Legislature."
This amendment was agreed to, and all the Reso-
lutions, having been put seriatim, were carried una—
nimously.
Mr. Moon's next moved an Address to her Ma-
jesty, founded on the preceding Resolutions.
The Address was read, put, and carried without
any dissentient voice.
Mr. PETER MOORS then begged leave to propose
that the Address should be presented by Mr. Sheriff
Parkins, and the two Members of Parliament for
Middlesex. _ _

Mr. MILLS was of opinion, that Sr Francis Burdett
and John Cam Hobhouse, Esq, should be requested
to attend, whenever the Address was presented to
her Majesty.
Mr. PKTER Nowa thought that it might be advis'
able to have the Address presented by a Deputation
of 1 reek ldei s.

Mr. Sheriff l'Atticts-s thought that, if a Deputation
should be appointed to wait upon het Majesty with
the Address which had just been read to the Meeting,
it ought not to be limited as to the numbers compos-
ins it. Those who were inclined to go up with the
Address would be thoroughly welcome.
The motion was then put, and carried unanimously.
Mr. Sheriff PARKINS informed the Meeting, that he
was ready to attend upon her Majesty with the Ad-
dress which had just been adopted, at any moment
chit her Majesty might think it good to appoint.
Of course could not answer for the line of conduct
shich his colleague, Mr. Rothwell, might be
clined to follow.

A voice from the further end of the mom then
enclaimed.—" 'fell us when the Address is to be pre-
sented, and also where the Deputation to present it
a:e to meet."

It was replied, from the opposite end of the room
from srhich the above voice issued, that due notice
would be given in the different public prints, of the
time when, and the place from which, the Deputa-
tion was to start.

Mr. S. Whin:READ then came forward, and said;
that as he had been deshed to go up with the Ad-'
dress, he would do so with the greatest pleasure, as
opinions peilec:ly coincided wsth their's. But he
could net help remarking, that the time in which
their present Meeting was holden was rather an
aukward one, on account of the demise which had
recently happened in the: Royal Family. By meeting
at so early a day after the occurrence of that event,
they rendered themselves liable to be charged with
having a design to excite tumult and disaffection in
the country. But what was the meaning of those in-
dividuals who were ready to raise that cry against
them ? He would tell them ; they were weak enough
to think, that as they had tyrannized for so long a
period over the people, without meeting the slightest
resistance, they would be able to tyrannize in the
same manner also over her Majesty—(Cheers).—The
courage and fortitude of the Queen had, however, frus-
trated all their expectations; in coming over to Eng-
land, in spite of the menaces which had been thrown
oat against her, she had not excited less admiration
in her friends, than she had terrot and alarm
among her enemies, who, whatever other weaknesses
might be attiibuted to them, could not be charged
with possessing too much courage. Those individuals
soon aftey they uttered their threats, found that they
had got themselves into a dreadful scrape, and
wished to get out of it by persuading the country
that they were ready to come to a compromise
with her Majesty. But what was their manner of
entering into a compromise ? Why, they said, "We
will retract nothing, but you must concede every
thing." Before they could make the country believe
that they were earnest in making such a proposition
to her Majesty, they must make a law to throw a
cloud over the good sense and intelligence of Eng-
land ; and, indeed, if they were determined to exer-
cise their tyranny long, they must have recourse even
to stronger measures than those which they had re-
cently adopted. What was the next step which they
had taken ? Nothing less than a recommendation of
the Howe of Commons to her Majesty to abstain
from asserting and vindicating her own innocence.
As to the proposition which had been made and car-
ried to that effect, he must be excused for saying that
he could put no other construction upon it than this
—that in addressing her Majesty on that subject they
had said, " We have insulted you most grossly;
but we cannot be happy until you shall have con-
tented to insult yourself !"—(Loud cheers.)—The
Queen, he was glad to say, possessed too much spirit
and fortitude to submit to so insulting a recommen- ,
dation. The step which Ministers had taken after
this, fully proved to him that they were well aware,
how much they had been beaten in the House of
Commons. Indeed, the last thing which they had
said to that august body was, " Gentlemen, we can-
not manage you—you have insulted us by kicking
out our Green Bag—we shall therefore take it our-
selves to another quarter, where we can be certain of
having our darling Secret Committee!"—(Cheers).—
What might be the consequences of that measure it
was impossible for hien to tell ; but, happen what
might, he could not look upon, it without experiencing
sensations of the utmost horror. It was not they who
stood forward in behalf of the rights of her Majesty
who could be justly accused of creating riot and dis-
order : it was those who assailed them that createttit
and he believed that nothing would excite greater
satisfaction in their minds than. any tumult which
would give them new reasons for enacting new laws
against the libesty of their country. He had now
only to inform them, that he should be extremely
happy to accede to their request, and to present the
Adflress which they had just adopted. lie thovin,
