profane daring over that sacred boundary, and are now
labouring to annihilate my honour as a woman, and my
dignity as a Queen, by a procedure which must in its
consequences be perilous to the vital interests of indivi-
dual and general liberty. I am now, therefore, struggling
not more for my own good than for that of the country.
The question, at this moment is not merely whether the
Queen shall have her rights, but whether the rights of
any individual in the kingdom shall be free from viola-
tion.
" The maxims of English jurisprudence have always
hitherto, been favourable to the accused. Perhaps lily
accusers, who are also to be my judges, thought that
they were acting in conformity to those maxims, when,
after spreading the accusations against me over a period
of six years, and a spare almost equal to that of a
whole Continent, they refused any specification of .the
times when, and the places where, the charges were
laid, after they had previously condescended not to grant
any list of the witnesses by whom these charges were
to be supported. A generous enemy never 'commences
the combat by previously wresting from his adversary
every instrument of defence. But is not the conduct of
my enemies a proof that they think their own cause
weak and mine strong? Why else do they labour with
a sort of trembling cowardice to cripple my powers of
resistance ? Is not this tacitly to tell the world that
my integrity is their dread, and my accusation their
shame ?"

Satires in the Illidibrastie style, are looked after with
great avidity by the Politicians of that Country.
Translations of ovhicli would, in all 'probability, cause
very awkward though interesting sensations in this.
At a time when the extravagance of Ministers is a
subject of complaint with every one, it must be a 'nat-
ter of much consolation to every lover of his country to
know, that two Noble Lords, high in his Majesty's
counsels and confidence, are so devoted to economy,
that they permit a near relation in very advanced
years and of unexceptionable character, to apply to a
public charity for relief, rather than burthen either
the nation or their own private purses.

MIDDLISII ADDRilli.—We are informed by the
best authority that the Members for Middlesex, Mr. P.
Moore, M. P. Sir F. Burdett, M. P. Mr. Hohhouse,
M. P. the Committee for managing the Meeting, and
(pursuant to Mr. Flanagan's amendment of the Re-
solutions by the express desire of the Committee), the
Freeholders of Middlesex, are to meet at Mr. Sheriff
Parkins's, Bridge-street, at II o'clock on Tuesday, to
rroceed in regular procession ; to be preceeded and
followed by a number of horsemen, and as many ma
may find it most convenient no join the procession at
Hyde-Park.
The new piece that is announced fur performance
this evening at the Haymarket, is, we understand, from
the pen of Mr. Tuitovena Hoot, the ingenious and
celebrated author of Tack Killing no .harder, sod
Pigeons and Crows. Public expectation is very great,
and a crowded house is anticipated.
At Rbuddlan, in Wales, there is now standing part
of the wall of the house in which Edward the First
held his Parliament, after subjugating the principality.
This relique of antiquity now forms the gable end of a
small row of dwellings, and to preserve it from oblivion,

MEETING AT GREARIVICH TO ADDRESS THE QCZEN.
On Thursday evening there was a numerous Meet-
ing of the inhabitants of Greenwich to address the
Queen, convened in the vestry-room, but on account
of the crowded attendance, the Meeting was adjourned
lo the National School-room adjoining, where the chair
was taken by Mr. John Crick, acting church-warden.
An was awed by Mr. P. Tetney, and seconded
bt Mr. titles, expressive of the respect and admiration
of the inhabitenta to her Majesty, and for the high and
benevolent example which she showed them during her
long residence among them, and hoping that she should
he able to establish her innocence to the world. The
Address was appointed to be carried to her Majesty by
the Governors, Charch•wardens, and other Officers of
the Parish in procession, when her Majesty's pleasure
shall be known. After thanks had been voted to the
Chairman, the Meeting broke up.
The vicar of the Parish who bad been invited to take
the chair, addressed a letter in reply to the invitation,
which was read at the Meeting. In this letter he de-
clined attending, and assigned as a reason the incom-
patibility of his religions functions with an attendance
at any political discussions.

The Queen will receive the Address of the Free-
holders of Middlesex at Brandenburgh House, on
Tuesday next. at one o'clock—that of the Artisans at
two o'clock—and that of the inhabitants of Hammer-
smith at three o'clock.

The Address of " the Married Ladies of the Metro-
polis and its vicinity" will be received by her Majesty
on Wednesday next at two o'clock, at the house of Lady
Francis, in St. James's-square.
Her Majesty will sleep at Lady Francis's house, St.
Jaws's-square, on Tuesday night, and will go from
thence daily to the House a Lords.
A handsome carriage is building for her Majesty,
which will be ready by the 17th, with elegant brass har-
ness for six horses. New liveries are also preparing for
her Majesty's servants.

Mr. -Alderman Wood left town yesterday morning for
Braadenbriegh House. Her Majesty sent her private
chariot for him, and he was accompanied by two other
gentlemen.
Preparations are made in the houses in Cotton-gar-
d a for the reception of 60 or 70 Italian witnesses.
They were expected to arrive last night, or they will
cane this day. They are to be conveyed to the place
by *e river, and precautions art taken, by stationing
of gin-boats, against all annoyance in their passage,
awl to prevent all access to them after their arrival.—
(Morning CAroitiele).

It is stated to be the chief object of her Majesty's
letter to the King to state her objections to the course
of proceedings instituted against her, and particularly
her objections to the House of Lords as a Tribunal,
declaring that she would rather be tried by a Common
Jury. We have not heard that an answer has yet
been given to this representation. The letter is said
to be written by the advice of Mr. Lusbington.—
(/144).
ft is whispered in the Ministerial circles, that it is
probable the House of Lords will, on Tuesday next, at
their meeting, adjourn for a week, to give time to the
House of Commons to re-assemble on Monday sennight,
lin hopes that Mr. Wilberforce may have some propo-
sition to m ke that may avoid the necessity of enter-
ing on the Bill of Pains and Penalties. In the mean-
time the arrangements in the House of Lords will be
completed this day. A chair is to be placed for the
Queen close to her Counsel, on the leg band of the
passage to the Lords' seats, sear Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt's
box, and an adjoining room is assigned for her to re-
tire to for coualtatioe, or when Counsel withdraw.
Mr. Broughars, it is said, oitCes use attend the Um,
ewer Assists. That geatieuma is expected la town
to-day, to attend the Quota's stairs.
