ADDRESSES TO HER M.LIESTY.

The following is her Nlajesty's answer to the Address
presented yesterday from the inhabitant householders of
the parish of St. Luke :
I return my unfeigned thank. to the inhabitants of
the parish of. St. Luke, in the 'lmlay of Middlesex, for
this loyal and affectionate :Ithlreas.
I have but little power of henelitting the generons and
enlightened people of these realms ; lint the little that
I have shall ever be exercised to the hest of my j 0,1,,.
ment in support of the most salutary institution.. t:
intellectual culture that adds most dignity to man; ;,„4
which, while it abstracts him from the grossness
ran hers him wore capable of liberty. I shall ever fel it
a ditty to give every possible enetiotragenwht to
beneficent establishments in which the vonong leart
the elements of knowledge, and imbibe the priswipies
of virtue.
The evi,lenre, oft% hicli my enemies have availed them-
selves to criminate my character. reflects more disgrace
upon them than upon me. The turpitade of perjured
test' •is ignominious to the accuser, rather than to
the accused.
I would willingly resign all my rights and privileges
for the benefit of the people, or for the interests of li-
berty ; but ought I, with patient acquiesceace, to suffer
them to he taken front me only in order that my wirer-
saries may the more easily infringe the rights of the
nation, and promote the purposes of tyranny? I feel no
higher ambition than that of promoting the public
good ; and the nation have h.ol several cools ineing proofs
I that a sordid avarice is not among the imperfections of
my character.
The constitutional liberties of the people hare. within
a few years, experienced numerous restraims, hut • !Ito,
restraints have still left us such a portion of the liberty of
the press as has not only most soweessially defend'
me against my enemies, but has excited owls a .Limit ill
the nation as appears to angle the must favourable etre-
serences to the public weal.
Floe liberty of the press is that vital flame that has
preserved the constitution in the worst times, awl under
the domination of the most worthless fact:wt. Political
liberty has little to fear while the press is free ; but if the
free agency of the mind. throng!' the medium of the
press, should ever he destroyed, the people have
nothinL
left but to how the neck, and to bend the knee, at the
shrine of arbitrary power.
The following is her 31ajesty's answer to the Fe-
male Address :
The female inhabitants of time parish of St. Lu!oe, in
the county of Middlesex, are requested to accept me
cordial acknowledgments fur tins affectionate tribute of
loyalty and attachment.
'Those females, who have been mothers, anti can esti-
mate the force of maternal affections, ran best appre-
ciate the pangs which I feel when my only child was
forcibly torn from nty embrace, and rendered an alien
(room Hoy society. What mother could calmly *equines
in such privations, or patiently endure such wrongs
The highest eminenee in the ascent of %eelsl life is
often the region of torpur and selfishness, where the
affections are benumbed, and a sort of sluggish apathy
is incrusted round the heart. But I may appeal not
only to uunserous acts, but to the general tissue of my
life, for the proof that the Universal Father has min-
gled in my temperament no ordinary portion of the
benevolent sympathies. I have never antlered the high
station which I occupied to chill my ar,lour or to para-
lyse my will in the practice of beuevolence: that prac-
tice has cheered the gloom of my solitude, and relieved
the listnessuess of my worse than widowed hours.
I claim no merit for masa kindness which inch's:lion
prompted me to perform, and in the performance at
which I found the purest delight awl the sweetest oasis-
faction. But, if tny natoral temperament were more
than usually sensitive and affectionate, time andahle fe-
males who have subscribed this address will clearly un-
derstand that the cruelties which I have experienced
must have been felt with double poignancy.
My nearest anti dearest relatives have vanished in the
shades of death. The loss, at least, of tone of them, has
'eft a dreary vacancy in my heart, which no other
earthly endearment can supply. Tlesse fond caresses
which once united the mother and the child ran en
more be mine: But, instead of indulging in unavailing
regrets, I will henceforth endeavour to supply the place
of the kindred affections by the patriotic ; to regard time
people of these realms as my children; to make their
happiness my pursuit ; and to consider their augmented
liberties as my highest exaltation.
The following is her Majesty's answer to the Ad-
dress of the Journeymen Mecloatoil s, /sac. of Kettering,
Northamptonshire:—
1 I gratefully aireept the loyal and streetions'e %air, as tram
the Journeymen Mechanics and the Inhabitants of the TJe n
of Kettering.
I should not have called for an open trial, if I had not
been emiseions that my innocence 'wild endure the strie,egt
scrutiny ; and though re) enemies, instead of grantint: Inv
request• have offered tee the shadow rather than the sut-
• stance of a trial, in a sort of anomalous procedure' which is
at oneejudicial and les...tatter ; yet. even Ns inquorial
tribunal ot. my adversaries has not ronvicted me of any one
aberration from Integrity. If I could have been convicted
by any testimony, my enemies have not wanted witnesses
who could most accurately recollect what they did not Laos.
and most conveniently forget what they did. Yet, though I
hare been assailed b) a large mass of well pampered false-
' hoods, tnongh my enemies have had Cie means of getting
any evidence manufactured that might suit their purpose,
and of drilling the witnesses into a perfeet subserviency to
their views, they have added one more to the number of ex-
isting proofs, that though It Is possible. In particular hull
vidusls, to overcome the renitency of falsehood. it is mot rosy
to vanquish the native force Of ,Jrn 41. 436 furs as I her.e h-
therto passed through this trial of fire, not a irate of niv
heed has received any harm. My adversaries may omit
their teeth in all the impotency of rage: my triumph has be-
gan in their shame, it will end in their remorse.
A Deputation from the male anti female inhabitants
of the parish of St. Lake went in procession to Bran-
denim rgh !louse, yesterday, to present an Address to her
Majesty. The protassainn consisted of fifty-two open IN.-
Toilettes and four; more than twenty of which wee tilled
with well-dressed WOMPO. Perhaps this pageant being
somewhat unexpected yesterday, there were but few sr-
Woes either on time road or at Prandenhergh House.
The hells at Hammersmith, however, were ritsgiog mer-
rily throughout the day ; and guns were fired at titter-
svia floss the beaks of the river, in the neighbonrlootel
of her Majesty's demesise.
Her Majesty received the deputation in the meal state.
and merle a gracious reply to their address, after which
they had the honour of kissing hands.

o Emperor. my master, is united to the oncost
Ors by the flith of treaties. by the most intlisaolulde
o..eolship, and by a confidence so much the more intl.
as the re-establisliment of 10:111 order, which was
the first canoe of this union, is now become its essential
Object.
His Imperial Majesty cannot in any case depart from
the line traced by his Antis... Every isolated step, every
attirmie which bears with it the sblanee of an initia-
tire. wonld he a sleviatioo from the rule which alone
directs the policy of the Imperial Cabinet. Ills Imperial
Majesty will least of all allow to himself any deviation
in an object of such great and general interest, as that
presented hr the esisting statc.,.of affairs in the King-
of the Two Sicilies. It has too many claims to me-
diations of a general nature, requiring a perfect agree-
ment between the guarantees of the tranquility of En-
fant. to allow his Imperial Majesty to anticipate what
may be the results of a general deliberation.
" It is under these considerations that I have the
honour to annonare to you,
peror. my mem. cannot arcept the mission confided to
~,„ hr rode Government to his Imperial Majestr, sea-
Cher s'erisrdiag to diplomatic forms, nor even in a man-

„The acqnsintance which I have the honour to hare

eatiusents, of which I tender die expression, as well as
that of my distinguished veneration.

STOCK-RXCHANOR, One o'Clock.

The heo...incs-: of the Stock Market, which we no.
tired yesterday, has not by any means subsided,
tlionzh fens ols for the Account left off yesterday at
the prices quoted at onao:cleek, via. Gfit.
To-d..e twin a holiday at the Bank, and likewise
at the Stock Exchange, there has been little doing :
hot a nomtber of the members assembled upon the
!loyal Exchange, and in consequence of the report
promulgated by a Ministerial paper this morning,
uf eight sail of the hoe and fort• frigates being
fitted out for immediate service, Consols fell
b• ':GI for this Account, which is now about the price,
itnol 661 for the next, viz. the November. The market
till looks very heavy, and, should this prove true, a
further most inevitably ensue.

Paris papers of the Vithhave arrived this morning.

o'clock on Monday. French Funds.—Five per cents.

Extract of a Letter from Paris, dated Sept. 26,
1b211:—" It is reported that the Iturhess of Banat
ins had a curious dream, that her accuuchement would
take place on the 2;th inst. the anniversary of the
tatithy of Henri Quitre. This vision of the night
has excited the attention of the [iltra•Royalists, and
is actually regarded by them as a supernatural means
of cunsolidating the dynasty of the Bounnoss!!!

Through the medium of French Papers, we are in-
formed that the Court of Russia has formally refused
to receive the Ambassador from the New Neapolitan
tioverament. This refusal has been communicated by
Count ClALowrix, the Russian Ambassador at the

Austrian Court; and from this circumstance, we are

confirmed in a belief, of which, indeed, there could
Aare been little previous doubt, that Austria and Ros-
si, a!one, are about to commence this malevolent war
against the Neapolitan people ; ter we rather imagine
that the Prussian Mon ARCH has affairs of a serious
nature to attend to, in his own dominions; and that
he can find adventereq en on g la at home, without travelling
for it, like his more errant-like and Quixotic neighbours.
The conduct of Re ssia,in this transaction, would not sur-
prise rt., were it not that it is not many days since, that
she intimated her intention not to touch the Spaniards for
setting the example of that same conduct which is now
to he punished in the Neapolitan people. Spain, then,
it seems. is to ese pe, with all her sins unwashed and
unannealed, merely because the Holy Sovereigns cannot
bring up their puny courage to attack her; and
Naples is to be over-run with armed ruffians, for
merely following the example which has been est her
by Spain. So much for the consistency of the Ante-
era: of Russia ; for, upon the priotripk of this war,
there can be but one opinion among all who are net
either fools or tyrants at heart. But nch conduct is
worthy of the Sovereign who robbed Sweden of Fin-
land, after having suffered, and tacitly encouraged his
