ST. PANCRAS ADDRESS.

A Meeting of the Inhabitants of St. Pancras was
held yesterday, for the purpose of addressing her MA-
JESTY. The Meeting was held in the Tea-gardens
belonging to the Southampton Arms, in Camden
Town; and, notwithstanding the wetness of the day,.
was most numerously and respectably attended.
Temporary covered booths were erected for the ac-
commodation of the Ladies, and were excessively
crowded by females of the highest respectability.
There were about 10,000 persons present.
Major CARTWRIGHT, on his being voted to the
Chair, said he had only to announce to them that
they were assembled for the purpose of agreeing on
a dutiful and loyal Address to her Majesty the Queen:
—(Applause).—This was all he had to say to them;
and he hoped they would eicuse him, as he bad
come from a sick chair to attend there, which he felt
to be a duty—(Great applause).
Mr. P. MOORE came forward to propose the first
Resolution, and was received with loud plaudits. In
the absence of an Honourable Friend of his, who was
prevented from attending by indisposition, he had
been requested to move the first Resolution on• the
subject which had drawn so respectable au assem-
blage together. Before he should enter on the im-
mediate business before them, he would say, and it
was a tribute due to the Press, that, but for its able
and independent aid, they hid all been oppressed,
and the Queen had been condemned. To the Press
they owed the power they enjoyed now of meeting
there to express their sentiments_(Great applause).—
When, in the time of that beastly Monarch, Henry
the Eighth, a person then Chancellor, Cardinal \Vol-
' sey, and Sir Thomas More, were in consultation on
this subject, the wicked and insidious Cardinal said,
" If we don't ruin this Press, if we don't get rid of
it, it will get rid of us, it will ruin us" But for this
Press our Constitution, our laws,_ our property, had
been destroyed—(Applause).—But for the exertions
of this Press, this forlorn and persecuted woman,
whom they had met to address, had been condemned,
and they would now be weeping for her in vain—
(Shouts of applause).—Honest men were not afraid
of the Press; honest measures courted every pub-
licity and investigation which it could apply. The
Press was the friend that would stand by them if
every other protection failed. If it were necessary
to make a choice, he would rather give up the
Trial by Jury, and retain the Press—for with the Press
he would keep all the world in order—(Applause).
To the Press they were indebted for every con aitu-
tional right—while newfangled Juries were set up,
and a host of political Judges, who regarded no law
and uo rig.'t but.their own will and pleasure—made
laws and decided on character and conduct at their
discretion—(Applaise).—lt was net, the Queen tlvit
was. on let trial i Wai the Constitution—it was the.

rights, it was the property, of the counter. When
property was gone, he would ask what 'binary vtas
worth? It was better to be supported in jail by
I one's property than to famish in the fields—(Greot
applause.—He would have no divorce between
i liberty and property. But, by the spirit manifested
in all parts of England, the Constitution and liberty
the country were secured. The trial was in face
over. They had closed their, accusation—they had
cast all the dirt and filth they had collected in the
i faces of the people of Englani—and yet their Qnecn
now stood without stain or spot—( Loud cheering).
But some others would soon be on their trial. They
might talk of the people as they chose in their close
conservatories, in their places of combination; but
all other orders were appointed for their-protection,
and they would call those to account who conspired
against the life or honour of their Queen—Opp/ousel.
--What was the indecent, poisonous, mischievous
charge against the Queen ? It was not adultery; no,
it was adulterous intercourse. Cats sometimes came
out of green bags. If the charge had been adultery,
and the proof failed, then it was High Treasoua,
There they saw the explanation of the vile machi-
nery—( Loud applause).—He had lately given his
vote, as a representative of a large portion of the
people, on the ground that the whole was a foul and
nefarious conspiracy, and thitt his Majesty's Ministers
were at the bottom of it—(Chcers).—He would not
flinch one iota from that statement. For twenty-five
-years the Queen had been persecuted ; on the same
grounds as now—a conspiracy had been formed
against her life; the conspiracy was renewed with
;augmented power, for it had now Royal protection,
which it wanted before; Istit the dirty cloud that was
collected they would very soon disperse - (Applause).
It had been stated by a Noble Lord in the House of
Commons, that if it was a conspiracy, it was with-
out example, and he should be Lappy to assist in ee-
tecting it. It was not without example; there had •
beets a similar Conspiracy in 1805. This conspiracy,
be-could assure them, would be de:ec:ed : but the
assistance of the Noble Lord in detecting it he would
not trust. If the Noble Lord was not one of the
conspirators he hardly knew where to lock for one—
(Applause).—But look for the conspirators he tiara
and he would. They would remark that the eerioct
of the present charges was between 1814 and ISI7.
Of the preceding nineteen years not a word was naw
mentioned. "Oh no, not a word of that ; spare us
there." Well, what did they hear of the last three
years ? " Oh, for GOD'S sake, don't remind us of
the former nineteen years, or of the last three years;
they don't suit our purpose, they are nor in our
question"— ( Much laughter and applause).— The
Milan Commission, consisting of Leach, Cook, Powell,
and Brown, was appointed to inquire into the un-
happy rumours andatelies which were circulated.—
" How could we," said alitristera, " but argon e ?",
Very good—what was the result? . Why, the Milan
Commission, instead of collecting, had created the
rumours—(Shouts of applause).—All the witnesses
had known their several parts, but they had tiever
mentioned a word of it till they had come before
the Milan Commission, and they had never whis-
pered it afterwards. And where had Majocchi re-
ceived his instructions?• Ile had -been traced to
Carlton-house. It was owing to the meetings and
discussions of the people, and the liberty of the
press, that much of the wickedness of those wit-
nesses came to light. He had received a letter from
Ireland, from a Gentleman, who stated, "that scoun-
drel Majocchi can write and speak English as well as
you." He was coming over to prove this-(C/veers).
He had been detained so long this mornilig, in con-
sequence of another communication made ro Sir Go-
rard Noel respecting another witness, DeMont. A
Gentleman, less opulent indeed than in former times,
but of unsullied honour, had- come forward, justly
conceiving that every information ought to be given
.that could be of use to save the Queen, and, in fact,
to save ourselves, and stated that he knew De Mont -
to be connected with brothels in London: and added,
" She invited me to one, presented her card as La
Cozntesse de la Conthier, dame d'honneur au Sa Royale
Altesse la Princes:e de Wales." She desired me not to
speak to her or recognize her near the doors in Ox-
ford-street, where she was known ; but said she
would go with me to any other place. Site was
much pressed for arrears of lodgings, amounting to
1:7 15s. Gd. She had got four pounds, which the
landlord, with the generosity of an Englishman (fur
he was ignorant of her habits) received. As I was
coming away at that time, who should come in but
Mr. Powell ? When Mr. Powell had gone, she-rang
the bell for the landlord, and insolently said—"
don't want money, Sir : what is that ?I' He re-
plied, " Three ten-pound notes."—" Yes," she said,
" and you may keep one"—(Applause).—Tinui they
saw how De Mont was paid for lying in England,
She had been dismissed for lying by her Majesty.
Sacchi, who had nn:ei‘red 1:50 a-year, paid at the
' rate of £2.50 for board and lodging for himself and
his servant at Mr. Godfrey's. All were of the same de-
scription ; as an Irishman said, " The d-1 a ban-el
the better herring''—(Applause). Good GOD I was this
all the premised ship-loads of witnesses, and cart.
loads of intercepted letters? Let them look at the
lever that put all this dark conspiracy in motion.,
Any individuals would have abandoned such a con-
spiracy for its impossibility, but that all our foreign
Ministers, and the Continental Govertitnents, mere,
by means of our money, made to co-operate. Thai
it was that his Majesty's Ministers were at the bot-
tom of it, for their own foul and nefarious purposes,
By this means witnesses were sent to this country to
tell a prepared story. When asked anything beyond
their lesson, it was, " Non mi ricordo"—a Je ne in'ess
rapelle pas.* De Mont had told that she got is much
money as. she wanted from Lord Stewart; and he, •
they knew, was brother to the Secretary :or Foreign
Affairs—(applause).—The same Gentleman whorl'
he hstal.hefore alluded to told her site had better not
interfere, as there was no truth in the charge, and

tie had herself saidthe Queen was the most virtuous '
and magnanimous of Ladies. " Why, Sir," said she,
" I may as well do this as be doing nothing ; it was
as well to implicate myself to the chin as to have no
money." The witnesses in Cotton-garden had, as it
were, their evidence circumscribed in a frame. That
part they were to learn and to repeat. Anything
beyond that frame that might be asked they were
to answer, "Non mi ricorde-4' Je ne m'en rapdk
pas." The Hon. Gentleman animadverted next on
the illegal mode of procedure adopted against her Ma-
jesty ; on the terms of the King's Message ; on the in.
cbnsistency of Ministers in voting for Mr. Wilber-
force's Address, and afterwards bringing in a Bill of
Pains and Penalties ; and the Report of the Lords'
Committee. Ministers would rather have heard one
hundred thousand pieces of artillery, than the shouts
that welcomed the Queen at Wesrininster and on
*hooter's-hill. Who was Chairman of the Lords
Committee? 0 Gots ! what a downfall from the,
Christianity that did good where good could be done;
that ever prompted wprks of righteousness and hu-
manity ! It was the Archbishop of *Canterbury—
(Shame).—Who had drawn the Bill ?—(Criesof“ Non
vii ricordo").—ln the former conspiracy there had
been a child without a father ; in the present there
was an accusation without an accuser—(Applause).
The Judges in this case were not Judges bound by
their oaths to administer the laws ; they were politi-
cal Judges, bound only by their own discretion.—
This conspiracy must be resisted and exposed, in or-
cle,r to save the Monarchy. So attached was he to
Monarchy, that if it were destroyed he would quit
his country—(Applause).—ln protecting the Queen,
they protected the Constitution ; in protecting the
Constitution, they protected the Queen. Ile had
forgot to tell them, that Krantz had been publicly
whipped through Carlsruhe for destroying, or at-
tempting to destroy, a bastard; and the waiter at
Trieste had been notoriously a dealer in scandal at
fixed prices, and formed his story of every Gentle-
,
Than and Lady who came to the house, according Ito .
the demand.
The first Resolution was to the effect that 'the
series of indignities heaped on her Majesty during
twenty-five years, and the proceedings now carried
on against her under the name and mockery of a
. public trial, entitled her to.the lively sympathy and
generous support of the nation.—lt was carried.una-
nimously, and with shouts of applause.
Sir GERARD NOEL came forward amid loud ap-
plause, and read the second Resolution, to the effect
that the Mering sincerely condoled with her Ma..
jesty on the death of the Princess Charlotte, who
would ever be lamented, and of his late revered and
excellent Majesty—(Applause). The Revolution which
had placed King William on the Throne of England,
and opened the succession to the House of Bruns-
wick, had left very little undone that was necessary
for the advantage of society. It was for them to
bring back the practice of the Constitution to what
it then was. The Meetings that were falsely called
seditious were final parts of the Constitution—(.4p-
plause). Ministers were themselvesche most seditious
part of the community—(Great applause). By whom
this seditious Ministry was supported he could not
tell, but he thought it certainly was not by the Navy
or the Military. He did not think they could get
any regiment to charge upon that Meeting—(Cries
of " the Manchester Yeomanry.") The masses of
people which assembled in every part of the coun-
tr.) , to decla:e their sentiments on this subject, skewed
that if the Military, Cavalry and all, could be
brought to attack, the People of England would act
as t morass, over which they could not make their
way—(Great applause). He could not believe the
Bill could be introduced into the House of Com-
mons with any success. But if it should be intro-
duced, it was necessary to take care that it should
not proceed too far, and he would stand a brash with
it. He was ready to sacrifice his life agahist the sen-
tence of the Queen, and in defence of his country—
(Rapturous applause). Ile was connected with the
House of Russell; and he so far resembled the illus-
trious Lord Russell, that he would have the courage
to lay his head on the block rather than do anything
with a bad heart—(Enthusiastic Cheers). It was in
unison with the character and measures which cer-
tain prints supported to revile the characters of La-
dies who attended Meetings like the present. It was
a mean subterfuge, and mat ked the weakness of their
cause, to attack the finer feelings and elegant appear-
ance which, if it was a crime, he saw abundantly
round him—(Applause). It was no credit to the
higher order of Ladies to have forsaken their Queen,
while the middle and lower orders (whose delicacy
and moral feelings were at least not inferior) skewed
the warmest sympathy and interest on her Majesty's
behalf—(Loud cheers). But the low part of the Press
to which he had alluded, was not less contemptible
in haste, language, and talent, than in good feeling
• ans sense of-justice. The Bill was so contrary to the
principles of the Revolution, that if the Queen were
guilty he should resist it. He differed from his Ho-
'lapsable Friend, as to the observation that there was
no accuser. The King was the accuser, in the per-
son of the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment. He joined with the Queen in thinking that
the could not be condemned till found guilty, on a
(air and legal trial ; and he, for one, would join in
resisting a sentence proceeding upon the present Bill
--(Repeated shouts Vapplause).--The Resolution was
carried with acclamation.
Mr. P. Moores was glad of the opportunity of
moving the third Resolution, to supply an omission
he bad made. One of the CabinerMinisters had in-
vestigated and examined minutely all the charges
and evidence against the Queen, and hirjudgment
was, that there was no truth in it, and he would have
nothing to do with it. Mr. Canning scorned to be
her Majesty's accuser. He said she was the life,
spirit, and soul of every society, and he cheriabed
every dutiful and respectful feeling towards her_
(Applause). Mr. Canning was a Member of the Cabi-
net—aye, and a very efficient one. Ministers could
'not do without him. By his conduct on this occasion
he cleared himself from every imputation of jobbing.
The third Resolution was, that the conduct of Ministers in
occluding her Majesty's name from the Liturgy, and the sanc-
tion of the dignitaries of the Church, indicated a mean and petty
spirit, and was a violation of the Christian religion, which cm-
minded to pray even for enemies.
The fourth and fifth Resolutions declared the evidence against
big Majesty to be utterly unworthy of credit.
The sixth Resolution deprecated with horror the spedes of
gabgagl that could pro:loot= upon the Ilia and character of the

'The proceedings against the IIUEEI4 continue to
be as much as ever the subject of general conversa-
tion. Everything that falls from the mouth of Mi-
nisters on this important tofic, is canvassed with
the utmost freedom in every company ; of course,
some of the things which fell from Lord CASTLE-
REAGH on Monday, cannot escape animadversion.
Alluding to the term " conspiracy" applied by some
of 'the Members of the Commons to the proceedings
against her MAJESTY, his Lordship said, that " if a
conspiracy, it was a conspiracy without example."
This happens to be a very unhappy assertion, when
all the world knows that a similar conspiracy against
the same Illustrious ludividoel was actually formed
years ago, and attempted to be supported with direct
perjury.--We need not entreat our Readers to peruse
r with attention the proceedings of the Meeting of
St. Pancras, yesterday, for the purpose of addressing
her MaJcsnr, for they are too important to escape
the attention of any person at the present moment.
We may infer, from the speech of Mr. P. MOORE,
that it will be proved Iwhat indeed we have before
asserted), that Mujocchi, who pretended (or others
for him) that he needed the intervention of an inter-
preter, can both read an/ write English as well as
those that examined him ; that De Mont did pass her-
self off for a Countess, though she denied this on oath ;
that, without money—when Mr. POWELL called on
her one day—she had £3O whoa that Gentleman left
her; that she is but we need not enlarge—
see Mr. Meones speech.

. The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this forenoon.'
The Commission of the Court of Peers, after in-
terrogating the seven military persons arrested at
Mons, and who were transferred to Paris with the
concurrence of the Government of the Netherlands,
have sent some of them to. prison under a warrant
of detention, and others with orders to be secretly
confined. Among the latter are two superior Officers.
An article from Trieste, of the 6th of SeptemLer,
says---,4 We are assured that, within these two days,
the Pacha of JANINA has succeeded in gaining over
a part of the troops sent against him, and that there
has been a mutiny among those of- the Pacha of
SCUTARI. If ALL takes advantage of circumstances
ably, he may protract matters a long time. In
general, he seems to reckon much more upon in-
trigue than force; his numerous spies in the Otto-
man Army may be very useful to him. It is said,
that he has a great number of agents in all the
Turkish Provinces, and that these agents, whom he
pays largely, serve him well. Many of them have
been already discovered, and of course strangled ;
but their, number is so considerable, that it will be'
difficult to discover them all. It is farther certain
that numerous purchases of arms have been made on
account of AL I, and paid for in ready money. Eng-
lish Merchants, we are assured, have furnished him
with large quantities."

The same article adds, that the Pacha of Egypt
causing great inquietude to the Porte, who dreads an
approaching explosion of his ambitious projects, it
had been proposed to take energetic measures against
him, but that existing cicumstances make it difficultl
'to execute them.

Another article from Constantinople, of the 12ih
August, states, that ,g shortly before the Pacha of
Janina raised the standard of revolt, he received from
the English Consul, Mr. Meyer, a magnificent present,
sent by the Court of London:lt was a grand plaster
of gold, beautifully wrought, intended to hold a din-
ner service. To this present were added, twelve
lamps, also of gold ; the whole amounting in value
to 18,000 tbalers. Ali made a present to the English
Consul of 1600 rubies, worth 1000 thalers."

SPAIN.

Madrid Gayeties to the 10th have arrived. , A

considerable portion of their contents has been anti-
cipated by the accounts received through Paris, but
they still present come facts of importanee.
In the Cones, on the 7th inst. the Minister ARGU-
ELLEs read several letters from Officers, giving an
account of the disturbances of the evening before.
As the discussion then naturally turned on the affair
of Disco and the army of La Isla, General QUIROGA
rose, as he said, for the purpose of doing away with
a mistake, adding, " that the opinion of the army
of La Isla is not that of three or four individuals.—
Those who compose that army are at all times ready
to obey the Government. I cannot but manifest to
the whole nation, that the 'Army of La Isla has not
'the vanity to believe that they alone liberated their
country. The deserving garrison of Madrid, that of
Galicia, as well as the rest, equally contributed to its
freedom. True it is, they have the satisfaction of

having been the first to resolve. Hence I request the
House to form a more just idea of the army of La

Isla, and believe that it will never deviate from an
order intended for the public good. I myself, who
have been one of the first, and happy as I am in hav-
ing contributed to the welfare of the nation, can ac-
knowledge no other will than that of my country,
and we are all perfectly assured, that public opinion
and posterity alone can decide on the merits of vir-
tuous men."

In the Sitting of the Sth, the Report of the Com-
mittee on ultra-marine affairs was made, respecting
a proposal which had been presented by S. MAGA-
RI NO, purporting that a general amnesty ought to be
granted for the whole of ultra-marine Spain. The
opinion of the Committee was, that a complete
oblivion of the past ought to be granted, and with
this view they proposed the Project of a Law com-
prehending six Articles. Senor RAlIos A RISPE (a
Mexican) hoped an early day would be named for the
discussion, as this Resolution must be the irk of peace,
and contribute in the most direct manner to the pa-
cification of America.

In the Sitting of the 4th, a very Interesting debate
~arose on the Patriotic Societies, at which the Ministers
were requested to attend.

M. Gasecr allowed that the numbers of the So-
cieties, and their objects, deserve respect and confi-
dence ; that they took every precaution to admit none
but persons of upright intentions and devoted to the
Constitution, but that they were exposed to be
taken by surprise by some, who, under the appear-
ances of patriotism, might lead them to impolitic
conduct. The Ministers of the Colonies, though
anxious that every Spaniard should enjoy full liberty
founded on the law, could not admit the existence of
political associations, without dependence on the Go-
vernment, and without responsibility of their Members.
I know well, he added, that these AssoCiations owed'
their origin to a laudable object, and that to them, tho'
illegal, we owe the acquisition of the good which we
enjoy; but the means which have been employed to
acquire it, far from being conducive to its preserva-
tion, would be the great obstacle to its consolidation.
What comparison is there between individual liberty
and that which may be arrogated to themselves by
permanent Juntas, with peculiar constitutiois, secret
sittings, dignities, offices, and funds? In Represen-
tative Governments, England for instance, there are
also Societies; but they meet for one determined ob-
ject, and when that is finished they are dissolved.
But permanent Societies are unknown. unless autho-
rized by the law, and when they have this character,
the Government will be the first to support them.
After some other Members had spoken, the Conde
de TORRENO spoke at some length ou the abuses that
might arise from such societies without responsibility,
which might lead the nation to its ruin ; he wished
them to subsist, and to be at liberty to censure the
abuses of authority ; but not to be allowed to make
an improper use of this liberty, or lead the people to
excesses, in which case all the Deputies were resolved
-to lose their lives rather than see the bar of theil

Assembly invaded by the factious.
A Committee was appointed.
EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER ..CADIZ, SEPT. I.

" A false report of the yellow fever has caused an
alarm to be spread, that will be extremely injurious
to this place for several months to come. But I deem
it incumbent upon me to assure you, that the general
public health of this town and district is good, though
seven insulated cases of inflammatory fever took place
some days ago at Xeres, and four in Cadiz. Fresh
cases have not, however, occurred ; and the season is
so healthy as yet, that, without some extraordinary
circumstance, such as a continuation of Levant winds,
the epidemic fevers of the season are not likely to,
become epidemic." '

NAPLES AND SICILY.

The following letter, received yesterday, cont.tir.s
the latest intelligence from this part of Eni o,:e •

" NAPLES, SEPTEMI,v.ik 1.

" This Government is sending' troopi, ariiiiet
and military stores, to Trapani. Tlyq are he:ided
by General Pepe, who is vested with eltraordiury
powers for settling the affairs of Sicily. his instruc-
tions are said. to be, that immediately on his arrive,.
he is to convoke Deputies from all the towns and
districts of the Island, who are to declare the gei eLit.
wish of the inhabitants on the subject of indepen,t
ence; and should a majority be found to enkruin
the desire of a separation from Naples, General PeFe
is then authorized to treat with them on the ruokle
of establishing that independence.

a As there can be little doubt that this proposition,
if fairly carried into effect (of which the character of
General Pepe affords every assurance), will product
a declaration from the majority of the Sicilians in f:;_
your of the object for which the free towns have made
so intrepid a stand, tranquillity must he restored,
and our free intercourse with the Island renewei.—
On the other hand, should a different result take
place, and the unbiassed votes of the islanders de-
tetmine for the continuance of their derencfence on.
Naples, a civil war must ensue, which the tesourccs
and daring spirit of the Paler:nit:lns may protract to
an indefinite pet rod. The general opinion, however,
being against them, they must ultimately abandon
their design. Our advices from Palermo are of the
24th ult. and merely mention the organization and
amount of the civic guard. The only Eagiisliniaa
serving in it is a Gentleman of the name of Wool,
who bears the rank of Lieutenant. None of the bous
of the Sicilian Government which are in circulation
here are paid: but as they were originally raised to
pay the debts of the Hereditary Prince, they must,
should think, be finally honoured."
