NOVA SCOTIAN LOYALTY . The people of Nova Scotia have long been distinguished for their loyalty and attachment to old England . ' This feeling recently found utterance on an appropriate occasion . The House of Assembly , on the 29 th March , unanimously adopted this address to the Qaeen . on the motion of Mr . Howe , seconded by thel'ieadex ¦ of tlie Opposition . , . Mr . lib we spoke as'follows : — ' t ^ " " Mr . Speak ^ r ^ he province of Nova Scotia has , for the last hundred years , teen a firmly Attached and . loyal portion of the British Empire . She has steadfastly , maintained her allegiance through all the vicissitudes of peace and ; war . Loyalty is here an enduring sentiment , and whenever there
is menace or danger from abroad ear Sovereign is not left to doubt qf the strength of oar feelings , or of our readiness to sustain , to the utmost of our power , the honour of tlie British fla ^ and , the authority of the Crown . . When these are in peril , the voice of faction is hushed—party feelings subside —party distinctions are obliterate ^ , and a ^ united Legislature prepared to defend our common . ; punitry , or ; to send to the toot cf the Throne the expressicn . of senjdments which are shared alike by all ranks and . clajsses of , our people . * Sir , I look lack with pride to a period in ; pur , historji within the recollection of many aroond nier --wli | en with singular una nimitv ; and enthusiasm tbo whole resources , ; p hysical and pjecuniary , of Nova Scotia , > ere placed a $ the disposal of the - ^ Xliorti-Amvcirit I ~ 2 rkf 7 urrtrtt * * wliAn i-. ha A * nfi # : ttfBi * nrti « . o * r ^« nffAM /) Lthe

There is pcacei on fj ^ p coia ( t » ient r an < l I trust it miqF . be preserved . . But : onr ibpetfcren at home are about to enter upon a struggle , the ^^ f whi ch canuet be foretold . The fleets and armaments ^ on their way to tie tfaltic and the BUck Sea instruct us that they are in earnest . It is . but rightthat the outlying portions of the empire should comprehend and should discharge the obligations which in ; such a crisis rest upon them . A common sentiment should UtriU throughout tee empire .
The Sovereign should feel thatlier subjects , wherever situated , are , united aa due man . It is oar ; duty'to take the earliest opportunity of declaring to our Sovereign the feelings of our people . Let there be no doubt , in her . mind—let it be felt and known that whatever may be our party struggles or . differences of opinion , . there is but one feeling ia Kova SootVa wliea the flag of England is unfurled . The latter , clause of this addresB , I trust , will not be disapproved .-, Whatever might be our regret , at the withdrawal of her Majesty ' s troops ^ 1 believe tiat I am not mistaken when I asBome . that the ; lqilitia of Nova . Scotia , about to be enrolled and embodied , would be able to defend their own soil and protect her Majesty ' s forts and arsenals , should , our gallant soldiers , be required elsewhere . If they can-, they ought , and we should not detain a single regimqnt heia that may be wanted in the Mediterranean . Entertaining those sentiments , Mr . Speaker , 1 beg leave to mo 7 « the following address : ¦—
"' May it please your Majesty , —^ We , your Majesty ' s dntiful and loyal subjects , the Commons of Nova Mcotia , have learaed with extreme regret that your Majesty ' s government has been compelled to fit out armaments , and prepate for active hostilities , in order to maintain the faith of treaties , and guard tlie intercuts of the empire from the aggressive spirit manifested by the Emperor of Russia . Though far removed from what may ie the theatre of war , your Majesty ' s loyal subjects in Nova Scotia will regard with
grave solicitude the operations of your Majesty ' s forces by sea and land , and your Majesty may be assured that whereever the national nag is borne , their sympathies will fellow it , and that , in triumph and disaster , the efforts of kis gallant defenders will ever be marked , with deep interest iu this portion of the empire . Sliould thV land forces now iu this province bo required elsewhere , your Miyesty may rely upon the loyalty a . nd devotion of the militia of Nova Scotia wlio until the return of peace in Europe , will defend their own country , anil protect your Majesty's forts and . arsenals from foreign aggression .

On Wednesday the English fleet weighed anchor , and sailed from Kioge Bay , news liaving arrived that the Russian ports are open ' . Only a few- ships remained in the roadstead . Another report states that the fleet Bailed for Gothland . A younjj officer on board the Vulture , writing home to his friends at Plymouth , under date of Copenhagen , April 5 , says : — - " |?

which are supposed to be there waiting for the ice to break up , in order to discharge their cargo of powder , shot , &c , for the Russians . So our ships are gone down to ' nobble * them , as just and lawful prizes , and I hope that this affair will turn up a little prize money . The Conflict has just arrived from the fleet .
