loyal and affectionate Address from the Parish of;Noe It;
-PethertoirAMl itp vicibity, is the County of &mewl.
It is highly satisfactory to me to find the Inhabitants
,•of this place as well as the rest of the kingdom, so -
serially impressed with a conviction of my innocent.,,
even after the %itemises for the accusation had been
heard, and lie•fore I had produced any evidence Id refute
the charge,"
Het Majesty's Ammer to the Address from the In-
habitants of St. Ives:—
" The inhabitants of the town of St. lees, in t 1 e
county of linntisigdou, will accept my cordial thanks

mks has excited the indignation of all good men; and
there is no one who loves liberty that ran approve tlse
unconstitutional character of their proceedings."

swer to the Inhabitants of Kidelermintter :
" I sincerely thank the Inhabitants of Kidderminster
for this loyal and affectionate Address. I shall he iner-
than recompensed for all the sufferings I have exp.-
rienced, if they seltimately promote the happiness of
these realms. That cam never he true happiness wh:ch
begins and terminates iu self. That alone is true anti
unsophisticated happiness which is reflected upon tie
conactonanem of the misery we have alleviated, and the
good we have produced. The most religious man is !:e
who hears the nearest resemblance to what the most t %-
lightened minds can form of the lima but reason. iv
its most reflective hours, can imagine no higher perttc-
titan in lion himself, than that of the moat unbitten:le.!
beneficence. What meet ,nobles men is the zealous imi-
tation of the Mute:erre in this resplendent attribute "

ants of Brecon, in the principality of Wales:—

Brecon, in the ptincipality of Wale', for this loyal and
affe, Coital. address.
" A vivid sympathy with the sufferings of a womar.
and that WOUIRII a Queen, 'elect be ever congenial wit::
the feelinga of those who are eleseended from the amit rt
Itritons. If ,try arenntnlated pereeentions dill cu..
strongly intere,t their sensibility, every *perk of
cons terdone must be extingetished in their breast..
" As the same you-rr which menaces the degradation
of the Queen, threatens alavery to the nation, it is ac
additional argument with all who value liberty stetter -
onsly to assert the rights, and to vindicate the intim:rm.-
of the Queen. The liberties of the nation are, at this -
moment, blended into a strict union with the r:glits
the Queen. One must perish with the other. If the
Queen is degraded, the people will cerise to he free."

lightened part of the nation.
" In vindicating my rights, I ant defending those nc
the people ; the sanctity of a free constitution is invadest,
if a single individual is oppressed. A free eonstitutio-
protects individual right as a part of the general liberty :
butt were the true principles of the constitution ever s •
glaringly °meagrd as in that measure which is now
pending in the (louse of Lords?"

is no one of our sex, with a heart of flesh in her breas•,
who would not WWI to have received the last farewc,.,
and caught the last sigh of those she loves. The par,.
ing hour is one of deep sorrow; but what nxitker soul
not, at such moment, he anxious to amon.le the pillow v.
her dying child ? My enemies have treated tens as it
had no maternal sensibility
