THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE. "CAROLINE R. "The Queen thinks it proper to inform the House of Commons, that she has received a communication from the King's ministers, plainly intimating an intention to prorogue the parliament immediately, and accompanied by an offer of money for her support, and for providing her with a residence until a new session may be holden. This offer the Queen has had no hesitation in refusing. While the late extraordinary proceedings were pending, it might be fit for her to accept the advances made for her temporary accommodation; but she naturally expected that the failure of the unparalleled attempt to degrade the royal family would be immediately followed by submitting some permanent measure to the wisdom of parliament and she has felt that she could no longer, with propriety, receive from the ministers what she is well assured the liberality of the House of Commons would have granted, as alike essential to the dignity of the throne, and demanded by the plainest principles of justice. "If the Queen is to understand that new proceedings are meditated against her, she throws her self with unabated confidence on the representatives of the people, fully relying on their justice and wisdom to take effectual steps to protect her from the further vexation of unnecessary delay, and to provide that these unexampled persecutions may at length be brought to a close." The Moniteur contains the following letter relating to the conduct of the envoy from Wurtemberg at Carlsruhe, as stated in the evidence of Barbara Krantz: "Sir;-The public papers, in giving an account of the trial of the Queen of England, have published the depositions of a female servant of Carlsruhe, named Barbara Krantz, and the cross-examination which she underwent by the Queen's counsel. Several speakers, and particularly Mr. Brougham, endeavoured to deduce from this cross-examination a proof that the envoy of Wurtemberg to the court of Baden had co-operated in an intrigue, for the purpose of procuring secret intelligence respecting the private conduct of that princess during her residence at Carlsruhe in the year 1817; and they have stated that this envoy had resided at the Hotel des Postes at Carlsruhe, for the sole purpose of watching the Queen's conduct; that he had even given up his own apartments to the Queen, the better to effect this object. Nothing can be more false, and the following facts will prove it : "I was at that time minister from Wurtemberg at Carlsruhe; I resided at the Hotel des Postes a long time before the arrival of the princess of Wales, and it was at the express request of the innkeeper, and after the arrival of the princess, that out of respect to her I gave up the chamber No. 12. This chamber being necessary for me, it was restored to me when it was evacuated by the Sieur Bergami. If the female servant charged by the innkeeper with this restitution, did not show herself sparing on that occasion of some observations which she pretended to have made, it was at least without any inducement upon my part. the same time, upon the respective ages of the parties, of whom the husband was 42, and the wife 51: and were the Court to order the wife to submit to the process which was prayed, it could not but remember, that she would be in her 52nd year by the time it "The consequences which Mr. would take place an age at Brougham permits himself to de- which, for some reasons, it must duce from these facts, so simple be less necessary and conclusive, in themselves, are so much the and when, on every account, it more rash and indiscreet, as these must be more abhorrent and refacts are quite foreign to the volting to female delicacy.

"I declare, then, on behalf of my court and of myself, that the imputations which Mr. Brougham has thought proper to utter are false and scandalous. "Baron de GREMP." "Vienna, Oct. 23, 1820." 24. CONSISTORY COURT. Briggs against Morgan.-This was a suit for a divorce, on the ground of mal-conformation in the wife, and this day sir William Scott, in an elaborate sentence, gave a judgment. The Court expressed its surprise that a suit of such a nature as the present should have been so long delayed, if the facts were, as pleaded by the husband; for the marriage took place on the 16th of February, 1819, yet the citation was not returned until June 1820. The learned judge observed, at VOL. LXII. NATIVES OF OWYHEE.-Two natives of the island of Owyhee, were this day brought before the Lord Mayor. They are warriors, and the sons of chiefs of the Sandwich isles. Their names are Booze-oh-Hoo and Tuano, and they are the first people of those barbarous nations that ever set foot upon English ground. It had been the day before represented to his lordship, that the two strangers were brought to this country under circumstances of an extraordinary nature, and that being desolate, and without money or knowledge of the language, or power of making themselves understood, they would in all probability perish if some means were not taken to send them back to their country. With some difficulty an interpreter was found. He is a young American who had been taken prisoner by the natives of Owyhee, where he had gone in a schooner, called the Sea-horse, to procure sandal wood, with which that island abounds. The following circumstances 2 K came out in the course of the examination ;— On Sunday last the clergyman who officiated on board the floating chapel in the river Thames, observed two foreigners in the apparel of seamen, who were very attentive during the performance of divine service, but who gave evident symptoms of never having seen any thing of the kind before. The rev. gentleman made diligent inquiries, and found that they were natives of Owyhee, that they had been brought to this country in an American ship, and had no friend but a Mr. John Tudgay, sail-maker, and owner of the Ship and Pilot public-house, Wapping, High-street, who had been supporting them about two months. Through the medium of the interpreter, it was stated, that the two warriors had been fishing at some distance from the shore, in a canoe, with three others, and that an American schooner, which had touched at the island for some of their valuable produce, bore down upon, took them all prisoners, and sailed towards Europe. In the gulf of California, a Spanish privateer captured the schooner, and took the prize and crew into San Josef, where the Spaniards murdered two of the warriors countrymen, and made slaves of the warriors themselves. The remaining poor stranger contrived to get possession of a small canoe with paddles, rowed into the ocean, and was never heard of more. After some time, during which they had worked as slaves, an American captain, who wanted hands, was accommodated with the two warriors. He promised to land them at Valparaiso, whence they could procure a passage home, but he did not keep his word. He sailed on to England, and in London he left them at the house of the person above-mentioned, who has acted with great humanity. They are extremely gentle, good-humoured,and good-natured. Booze. oh-Hoo determined to adapt his appearance to that of those into whose society he has fallen. He therefore put on a jacket and trowsers, and cut off his hair, which hung down to his knees whilst he was amongst his countrymen. Tuano did the same upon landing. The former is remarkable for his activity and strength; can hit a pint-pot at the distance of 50 yards with the point of his spear, and can dive to the bottom of 20 fathoms water. A subscription was entered into for the relief of the strangers at the suggestion of the Lord Mayor. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Nothing can exceed the popularity of Mr. Kean. There has been a great speculation in tickets today, the managers having given notice that no more would be sold than would fill the house. 27. THE QUEEN.-The inhabitants of the wards within the city, and the parishes round London, having manifested an anxious desire to present their addresses of congratulation to her Majesty in large bodies, instead of by small deputations, her Majesty, desirous of gratifying their wishes, and disregarding all personal fatigue, will receive their addresses in any way most convenient to them. In order to facilitate any arrangement for receiving such numerous bodies, as the days are now so short, her Majesty will not receive so many ad dresses in one day. Her Majesty will receive addresses on Monday, the 4th of December, and on every succeeding Monday till further notice. Any persons wishing for any information previous to their presentation, will please to apply at 15, St. James's-square. R. KEPPEL CRAVEN, Vice-Chamberlain to the Queen. Brandenburgh-house, son. Nov. 27. KING'S BENCH.-This day the court of King's-bench delivered its judgment in the case of Davi[See pages 472 and 488, ante. The court was unanimous, and the learned judges delivered their judgment seriatim. Mr. Justice Best, who tried the case at Nisi Prius, was the most particular in his argument. He said, that had the defendant confined himself to a legitimate course of defence, he never would have been subjected to the slightest interruption. With respect to the particular ground upon which the new trial had been demanded (namely, that the defendant had been prevented from entering into all the topics of his defence), it was important to remember, that that defence was in writing, and the omitted part, if any, might have been set out in the defendant's affidavit. The court discharged the rule for a new trial, and the defendant was ordered to be brought up for judgment on Monday. The King v. Jane Carlisle.Mr. Gurney rose to acquiesce in the rule obtained by Mr. Hill on a former day for arresting the judgment. There were three counts in the indictment, the grand jury declared their finding only on two, saying nothing as to the third. It was impossible, therefore, for the court to pass judgment, upon a general verdict of guilty to the whole indictment. Rule made absolute. The grand jury this day returned a true bill of indictment against Fletcher alias Franklin alias Forbes, the placard incendiary, for high treason, upon the 35th of the late King, for publishing treasonable handbills, &c. for a considerable time past. The Solicitor-general prayed the judgment of the Court upon William Greathead Lewis, convicted at Warwick, for publishing a seditious libel concerning the transaction at Manchester in August, 1819. The defendant, who was without counsel, put in affidavits, which complained of undue practices in the Crown-office, as to the mode of " picking, packing, or selecting" the jury by whom he was tried. The court adjudged, that he should pay a fine to the King of 50. be imprisoned in Warwick gaol for two years, and at the expiration of that time, to enter into security for his good behaviour for five years, himself in 2001. and two sureties in 100%. each. 28. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO To the Hon. Keppel Craven, Vicechamberlain to the Queen. "Sir;--As magistrates of this city, anxious to prevent disorder and confusion within our jurisdiction, we request that you will have the goodness to lay before her Majesty the inclosed copy of resolutions, proposed at the two last Courts of Aldermen, with reference to your letters of the 17th and 18th inst., addressed to the right hon. the Lord Mayor, and submitted by him to the consideration of the Court of Alder men. "The Court of Aldermen first alluded to having been abruptly broken up by Mr. Alderman Wood and Mr. Alderman Waithman; and that held yesterday having been also broken up by the retirement of Mr. Alderman Wood, in order to reduce the number present to less than a quorum, and by the motion of Mr. Alderman Waithman in immediately counting out the court, and these resolutions having been thus prevented from becoming a pub. lic document, we, nevertheless, at this important moment, but without reference to any party or political question, feel it to be an indispensable duty which we owe to our fellow-citizens and to our selves, to transmit them to you as the individual sentiments of the magistrates who have subscribed them. "We regret the delay which has thus been occasioned, because we were not without hope that, on re-consideration, her Majesty might have been induced to change her intention of publicly proceeding to St. Paul's Cathedral, and thus to have obviated the dangers and inconveniences to which the peaceable and industrious classes of our fellow-citi zens may be exposed. We have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble servants, "Geo. Bridges, late Mayor. "GEORGE SCHOLEY. "London, Nov. 28. "That this court, charged as magistrates, with the preservation of the tranquillity and order of this city, cannot but express its regret at the intimation of the vice-chamberlain of her majesty the Queen to the right hon. the Lord Mayor, communicated by his lordship to this court, of her Majesty's intention to proceed to St. Paul's cathedral in a public manner, on Wednesday the 29th inst., as likely to be productive, under present circumstances, of serious inconvenience to the inhabitants of this city. "That the right hon. the Lord Mayor be requested to forward a copy of the above resolution to the vice-chamberlain of the Queen, in order that it may be communicated to her Majesty." CHANCERY.-Sergisson v. Sergisson. Mr. Hart, in this case, moved, that all orders which had been made in it might be abolished, as the trial at law had taken place, and completely set the question at rest. The motion granted. [For a full report of which, see page 204, antè.] COURT OF KING'S BENCH.The King v. Davison.—Mr. Gur ney moved the judgment of the court. The defendant put in two affidavits: the first from Mr. G. Cannon, speaking to his intimidation on the trial, and to his general good character; the second from himself, repeating the matter contained in his former affidavit. [See page 499, antè.] Mr. Cooper briefly addressed the court in mitigation of punishment. He did not desire, that those portions of his client's defence which were appended to the affidavit should be read. They had merely been so appended, in order to justify their |
