SECOIVEO'tDMON. --•"' The LORD CHANCELLOR coniidueil.g . ' e was strong proof. In cases of • circnmstaintinljtyidenie, Caere are antecedent facts tram Which inferencintiky bisdrawn .

Suppose a tidy' and. Otenttemin going it:to a room and locking the door, which is afterwards forced, and they are discovered preparing to commit achil tery ; this would be no evidence of tht fait, but if a few days afterwards the same parties lock themselves in a room far some hours, or. be. found for five weeks sleeping in the sa me apartment, would any one say that their preparing for committing the act; Was not a strong antecedent proof that it was afterwards committed: Laying aside the evidence of Ma jocchi and De Mont, and looking at the unconeeadicted evidence case, and the evidente for the defence, which afforded in this as strong a legal presumption of guilt as the evidence fot the Bill itself; and looking also at the evidence which might have been produced low the defence, and the non-production of which ought to have been accounted for; looking at all these circumstances, I think it will be difficult for any man to lay his hand on his heart, and say, Not Guilty. I must again say, that if your: Lordship: are not convineed.of the Queen's guilt on legal evi dence, no moral conviction—no • question of policy or expe diency, can justify your finding her guilty. The Noble and Learned Lord then allteled to the case of Trieste, in which there was first Moral conviction, and afterwards legal evidence that the Queen vravisot there more than a day an' a half. r feel gratified, and so I am sure wll your Lordships' that I am eove.going to utter stay Last words on this great and melancholy e - aestion. If I feel that the guilt of the Queen,has been proved by legal evAence, I shall act accordingly, but if I was not so convinced, no earthly tow , ideration should induce me to vote for the third reading ; but after hearing all the evidence, and deviating every attention in my power to the subject, I cannot conscientiously but vote for the third reading of the Bill: At twenty minutes past one oclock the- House divided on the question that this Bill be-now read a third time: CONTWCTS NON:CONTgICTS - *. ica - - 99 lUsjoiity for the toird Reading - After the numbers wept announced at above, the House continued aiming,, without grangers being ad• witted, and various contradictory rumours got into circulation as• to the Cause of the continued exclusion. The prevailing report was, that the numbers had been. erroneously takest, and that a second Division was going on. At a quarter before two o'clock the. ciretuustance the Publi c , p ell li aine b d y - t i t , v - w i a g y A mach M 3 p i re .y sati , sfactnri .to r. er Majesty's who came out in front of the window of the room ozcupied by her Maissry; and called out, in an exulting voice..." THE BILL IS REJECTED!" This welcome intelligence was immediately hailed with loud and Unceasing cheering from the assert bled multitude, who, we aced not say, were of the most respectable description, none but persons of the better classes being admitted within the barriers. The intelligence quickly spread, and in a few mi nutes nothing was heard but cheering and rejoicing in all the streets and avenues leading from the Par-. liament House. On. inquiry we understood that,- after the Bill had seen read the third dole; 'ism! on th# question being put "that this Bill do -now:.pass,". his MAJESTYS Ministers, the number of whoM in the House of Peers exactly corresiiOn:led with the majority for .the third intimated, as the opinions of their Lordships appeared to - be so nearly. divided, they declined press• ing the passing (lithe Bill, More particularsAvill be given in a Third Edition. THIRD EDITION. In a preceding column we announced the Victory tr. the Quisn. As we wish to present the whole proceedings in oar columns this day, we here resume t! e Report of the Debate which we interrupted in girder to announce the glorious result of this . me- rnentouc enquiry: The 131;hop of CIit:STRR rose to state, that he had voted for the second reading of the Bill upon the full conviction that hn Majesty was guilty of the crime imputed to her, which had teen linseed by circumstantial evidence of the strongest nature. i ‘rtainly else evidence had been no more than circumstantial, lint if the Queen was innocent, her innocence was accompanied with such corroborants of guilt as never had been heard of in the annals of history. It was from a moral view of the question thafhe was induced to vote for the second reading.of the Bill, but it would be recollected that he had decidedly given Ins orinimi and his vote against the Divorce Clause. This le had done because he considered that clause contrary to all es.; tiblished usages, and opposed to the divorce precept. He at he name time thought himself bound to repel the insinuation made by Neble Lords on the opposite side, that those who had votod for the Bill and objected to the Divorce Clause, were sets*. • noing the degradation of the King. Nothing could be >re abhorrent from his mind,than the idea of performing any o-t which could tend to degrade his Sovereign ; " and it ie," Rev. Prelate said, " with horn,/ I beard it stated by a NW,: Lord (Grosvenor), that if he was the Archbishop of Can t-tbury, and had been requested by his Majesty to omit the Qamn's name in the Liturgy, he would throw the Prayer-book itt his Majesty's face. It is with horror, Horreseo nferens, I have heard his most gracious Majesty compared to thy most atrocious tyrant that ever disgraced a Throne." This was, indeed, as attempt to degrade his Majesty, and contained ; • • . 1 11 .7 rat • 5 1.-A t e l l ie n i O ta o 3 UniAritet 4 1fili' seigoty that had ever been made ; fo r . he was enaviiiii:n4.' thii,Begency of kif Igpjfat,isateuld .b4arA ccilisOstes vith , - the .proUctiit ?erred bf British 'Flip -Leagued Pfdtare 'diets deciared that at lie COuld not eol?Sti;e1110,_ odY itteigAngt . thw&i heitig Clearly' oftsPiiiiati s.. thitlaer`g!tieit, and as be could nbt cottsinstntir . 4b * a Age , -Dilitetty Cause, his impression :with respect to - that Claueeilrebbahint Unchanged, he should withdraw hilnlelf from the House, and give no vote one way or the other—(d hike, ti,d pies If " Hear, hear!" and " Order/")—He concluded by assuring the House, that he should sit down with one satisfactioa—the lionsciousness of having performed the whole of his duty in this ,painful investigation.

If he recollected right, be had stated what was supposed to have passed between his Majesty and his AB nhaersthat there had been rumours, which were fottered by ,Illieistera, that the King had been the main cause of the agitation Of the question, and that his Majesty had proposedthe omission of the Queen's name in the Liturgy himself. He (Lord, G.) bad dis tinctly stated, that such rumours tended to throw odium and con tempt upon the Crown, and were in every respect wicked and injurious; and lie admitted, that he had declared, that 'if he were in the place of an Archbishop of Canterbury, to Whom such a proposition Was made, he should not hesitate to throw. aside punctilio In the manner alluded to—(Cries of.Hcar, heetl.-rb.

The mass of the CoMmons of England would, he was convinced, resist, with all their force, this. iniquitous Bill, and other nations would view the conduct of the Tipper House of Parliament with the deepest contempt.

But where then were the relations of the Princess during this Hoene, which lasted at least 20 minutes? ' Why, during so long a space of time, did. they affect to abandon her to the bands of strangers—to those cf sentinels, and of military of all ranks? k not this affectation of abandonment precisely the most complete proof of a manifest and gross fraud ? Is it not evident, that I after having arranged the piece, they withdrew at hay-past two,' and that, placed in an adjoining apartment, they waited the , moment for themselves entering on the scene, and playing the characters which were assigned to them? For hi the uight,l even when a female, of whatever class of society, it may be sup-. posed, would be attended upon at the critical period - of child birt4, was it ever seen that the lights were extinguished—that the female attendants were asleep—that she who was specially Airged to take care of her was at a distance—that her necoucheur was undressed—and that her family, Who resided under the same roof, and ahntift In the same apartment, retnained upwards of twenty intrudes without giving the jaxst sign of presence or of existence. • .. - leis Royal Highnesi the Duke of MMus:ills convinced that the French Nation, and all the Sovereigns of RolOpe, *ill feel all the dangerous consequences of a fraud so.aielacious, and so contrary to the principles of heridiiery and legitimate monarchy.
