Cowan, SarT. 2;, u. s. w.—The weather here, at pre.
veld; is extremely inauspicious. The King continues to r
take his aquatic ex.mrsions daily, either up or down
Channel as the wind permits ; and though it has blown
a gale from the west nearly the whole of this day, and I
has been both wet and cold, his Majesty proceeded to
Portsmouth this morning at ten o'clock, for the per-
pose of receiving an Address from the Loyal Inhabi-
tants of that town. ..t twelve o'clock the guns in the
batteries of Portsmouth announced that the Royal squa-
dron hove in sight, and in a few minutes, the whole
Beet, with the Royal yacht, anchored at Splthead, each
' ship returning the salitt:•s which were received from the
shore. Expecting this honour from his Majesty, the
townsmen hail prepared an Address to the King, which
was presented by a deputation to his Majesty, on board
the Royal George, and real by George tiarratt, Esq. on
whom. his Majesty, after lie returned an answer to the
Address, conferred the honour of Knighthood.
At six o'clock his Majesty received the following
officers to thinner :
Admiral Sir tleorge Campbell, as Admiral of the
Port; Captains Hollis, Raggett, Briggs, Vernou, Mar
ryatt and Lloyd, Captains in the Port; Captains Sir C.
Pair. Sir C. Berard, Fisher. Montague and Alingar
Captains it; the Royal &padres ; Commissioner Henry

We all recolie:t with what promptitude Majoeci, the
Italian shi;imaster, and his mate, deposed that they had
seen Bergatiti and the (Peen sitting on a en. on the
deck of the vessel, and kis.ing one another. A British
Lieutenant, in a coffee-room at Leith, reading this part
of the evidence, suddenly started up, and, with the
honest emotion peculiar to a British tar, exclaimed.
"It is all 4 41-41 lie: 1 was on board the Macre the
whole time the Queen was there, and d—d a gun was
On ..:^ck of the vessel at all, nor indeed on hoard of her,
except a very small swivel, which was stationed aloft."
'This honest fellow set out a few slays ago, to London, as
one of the Queen's witnesses.—(roue Mercrry.)
Mr. Henry, since his arrival at Milan, has sent to Log-
, land 15 witnesses whom he considers necessary to the
Queen's defence. Ile has also sent home the small car-
• riage in common use in Italy, capable of only holding
two persons, by one of whom it is driven, anti in which
1 it has been charged as an offence of the Queen for tra-
' veiling with Bergand.
IWe understand that a requisition most numerously
and respectably signed (by MO individuals) was on
i Wednesday presented ro the churchwardens of St. Mary,
Newington, Surrey, fur the purpose of calling a vestry-
meeting, to consider the propriety of presenting an
I Address to her Majesty, which it is expected will be
I attended by thousands, as ninety-niue out of a hundred
are most hearty in the cause.
i At drilling:lt, on the 23.1 inst., the incorporated trades
of that town unanimously agreed to address her Majesty
! the Qtteen ; and Joseph Home, Esq., M.P. for Montruse,
has received the Address to present, which lie will do
! OU Monthly next.
i sir R. Wilson has been requested to present the
A. 1,1,,..• of the male inhabitants of Bristol. Mr:Abler-
'man Wood has been specially desired to present that of
, the Female Inhabitants of the same city.
1 Last week a meeting of the householders and inba-
, bitants of the town of Alsergavenny was convened,
: when an Address was voted to the Queen, and signed
, by upwards of 500 persons.—(llercford Jomrocil.)
l The inhabitants of Brighton are very h surprised
at the tloalits entertained of their loyalty. On the con-
trary, they say, they are extremely loyal —they are all
either for the King or the Queen.
Qt:EEN'!. Pi. yrs ---.1 numeroas and respectable
meeting of the inhabitants of Dover was held at th.
Bull-ina Assembly-room, uu Friday evening last, to
take into etitisi.leration the propriety of raising sub-
scriptions (not exceeding one shilling each person)
for the purpose of assisting in the purchase of a ser-
vice of plate to be presented to her most gracious Ma-
jesty the Que.m, and of cu-operating with the COM-
MIMI,. in Landon, ;Is well as the public at large, in
evincin' their respectful homage to her Majesty, their

Kgsnst., Seer. 211—An Address to the Queen, from
the inhabitants of Kendal and its vicinity, having been
agreed upon by a l'ommittee, and simply announced by
an advertisement, was signed, without any solicitation,
by upwards of 1,300 individuals, in the short space of
two days, which (considering the limited population.
and the signatures being all taken on the same roll of
parchment) is not surpassed by any town in the king-
dom. The knot-sledge having got abroad that Mr.
Brougham worth! privately pass through Kendal on
Monday last, Sept. 21 thousands of the population went

like
