THE STATESMAN.

could then be no doubt hew the Commons Would decide
upon any measure adopted by the higher powers. There
was no hope of escaping the catastrophe to which the
prosecntion of the Queen threatened to lead, valeta
lilinisters yielded to ptahlic opinion, unless in compliance
with what they now called popular clamour, thee con-
sented to retrace their steps ; for they might re& that
unless they retraced their steps great mischief would
follow, and that even afterwards they would be com-
pelled to retrace. Let those Ministers then beware of
the conseytence of slighting the advice of the people.
and let them reconsider their purpose and conduct ere it
be too late. 'floe Honourable tientleman concluded with
repeating his wish and reeoliness always to support the
views of his public spirited countrymen, and retired to
his seat amidst universal cheering.
Mr. FLANAGAN rose, he said, under much em-
barrassment, from a perfect conviction of his inca-
pability to do justice to the merit and worth of the
worthy Alderman, of whom he was about to speak.
When they heard the resolution which he was about to
propose, be was sure it would be seconded, and unani-
mously agreed to, and accompanied with cheers. It
was, he said, to return thinks to Mr. Alderman Wood
—(Loud cheers)—not only as a friend to the Queen,
but a friend to humanity. and to the justice of the
country.—(Cheers.)—He was proud to see such a
meeting to address an innocent Queen.—(Cheers.)-
-Tlfireettlitry owed much to Mr. Alderman Wood for
introducing into the British nation a persecuted
Queen. She was innocent, and he had no doubt but
that they would hare the graification of seeing bet
acquitted. They could not be so ungrateful as not
to return thanks to her best friend Mr. Alderman
Wood.—Xontinued cheers.)
The following motion was then agreed to unanimously,
and with acclamations of applause.
°' Resolved, That the thanks of this Meeting are pre-
eminently due to Mr. Alderman Wood, for the usably,
patriotic, and determined perseverance which he has
shewn in all the various public situations which lie has
tilled, but more particularly for the voluntary manner
in which he quitted his native country for the purpose
of accompanying her Majesty to the shores of this land.
thereby giving us the gratifing opportunity of this
day supporting. by out unanimous voice, her Majesty's
honour.
Mr. Alderman Woon then stood forward, and, after
loud and long continued cheering, spoke to the follow•
1 ing effect : --Ilentlemen. I have found it necessary upon
' this subject, for reasons which you may easily imagine,
to observe silence, not only in the Howse of Commons,
i and other public meetings, but even in private company.
In thanking yon, however, for the honour which on
hate just hien pleased to comer upon me, I cannot be..
bear from ,aying, that I am sure no man in this oseMel
• toy, or in England, who was in possession of the itediol
. facts that came to my knowledge with respect to dm
. Queen, would have hesitated to do as I have dose., I
found thit her dlajesty.was in the hands of betrayers.
and that mithout some interference, or unless something
was done for her, she never would have reached these
shores.—(Laud applause.)-11 any of you had been in
possession of the facts and circumstances which wore
communicated to me upon this subject from the hi
quarter, you would, I am satisfied, have dense as I tell
nay. that eon would have down to any "tarter of the
, world to aid and protect her Majesty.—(Loud applause.)
—But long before the Queen came to this country, I re-
• • ceival a communicatiou from her Majesty, positively or.
dering me to send a vessel to Leghoess for her homes
-Aare earveyavere is !Wand. Prowilmhylinhito
ever, not thinking it proper to like the responsibility
upon myself, I coisulted the opinion of others, by ahem i
I was influenced not to send the vessel as her Majesty
desired. 1 have the satisfaction to add, that the more
inquiry is made, as to the means of defence for the
Queen, the Mine matter appears in her favour, especially
from rhe'tionober of high and respectable character*
who An to bear testimony to her Majesty's conduct at
the several places which sloe visited during her absence
1 from this contort% The Honourable Oentleman who
, spoke Jast has said, that be has no doubt that the Bill
1 of Pains and Penalties against the Queen will pass, and
: that she will be found guilty I but, from what I know,
I have no hesitation in saying, that it is quite itopomihle
' that any assembly upon earth could pronounce such vet-
diet. Of the character and connections of some of the
principal witnesses to be adduced against her Majesty,
)am fully apprised. It can be shewn, indeed, that the
Iconnections of these witnesses are in the annual receipt
of no less than three millions of the public money..
I The Queen, then. is by no means depressed by the sa-
-1 tuition in which her and your enemies have placed her.
Un the contrary, indeed, her Majesty is is the very
highest spirits, for within the last 24 hones, I have her a
her declare that she would not change her situation
with any woman in tioe worth.—(Load plaudits.)—This
declaration too, I am happy to say. her Majesty uttered,
after bring considered her ease with all that seamen
and ability Tor which she is proverbially distinguished.
—(Repeated plaudits.)—Her Majesty, indeed. evinces
the most hem resolution to meet her accusers face to
face. From the horse in town, which is nearly ready
for her Majesty's reception, it is her resolution to start
at ten o'clock every morning, during the discussion of
her case in the Home of Lords, and to remain in that
House each day notil the proceedings shall have coo-
cluded.—(Looa and reiterated plaudits.)—After giving
you this information, which I are peculiarly liapn
see affords you so mach satisfaction, von will, 1
excuse nee from entering further into.the merits of
Queen's case.—(Hear, hear. hear!)—The worthy Aldo- 1
man concluded with repeating, that in that transite
,which the meeting had been so good as to distingaiell
by its approbation, be felt that be hid done no useir
than his duty.
It was then resolved, that the Sheriff should wait on
some Peer of Parliament, to present the Address to the
House of Lords.
Mr. FLANAOAN proposed a vote of thanks to Mr.
Bader, Chairman of the Committee, and to Mr. Benson..
Secretary, for their iodefatigeble exertions to promote
the object .of this meeting. It was only *weary for
him to say that the meeting being so numerously *timid-
el was the best proof of the feelings of the ooantry.
He would without further comment propose the resolu-
tion. It was seconded, and unanimously tarried.
A vote of thanks was neat voted to Mr. Sheriff Par-
kins. I
The Sooner returned thanks and immediately dis-
solved the Meeting.
The Sheriff invited such Freeholders of the County
as might feel it convenient to do him the honour of
their company on presenting the Address to her /da-
jesty.

AS the shortness of the tune which remains before

Extract of a private letter from Paris, Aug 6
A general report prevails to-day that some disturb-
ances have taken place in Sicily between the 4oldiers
and the Constitutionalists. The latter got possession
of the fortress. We are not yet acquainted with the
result. The new goverament of Naples laid an ens-
berg° there •n all the vessel+ in the port, which was
remonstrated against by the English Ambassador,
when immediately the embargo was taken off. An
Ambassador has been appointed to proceed to Eng-
land. lhe Emperor of Austria is returned from his
I tour.

guilty of high treason, and out-lawed.
A New York Paper of the 12th of July. says.—

what capacity, nor for what purpose. There will be

without the consent of the European Powers.
