Mr. G. BENNET rentended, tivdt there was no safety but it retreat. The filthy evidence which was adduced Ind ilicgristed the CUII4I:Py j and the Attorney-Geueral, by the way in ‘shich lie had opened the case, hail disgraced himseil. (Hear, !war!) He would repeat the opinion that the Attoravy-General, by the way in whirls lie had set forth the case hail di.gracrd himself. (Hear, heart) lie had set forth chat gcs which he had never atteuipted to !trove (hear ciiirges am! statements which • Itild ' made his blond boil.

All classes were affected by the question now 'abeam ; even the Army and Navy livid opinions. that were luvcirdotis in the extreme. army were their masters. He cohipluitied of the Tribunal berme which the question •vias now being trie , l--and there, for the (irstiiiiitt, lead Judges eheet cd the Comiscl. (Hear, heat !) Atid there for the first time had Coattsel. beet) tirow-Losateit ivied pnt down. ( Hear, hear') He concluded with deciesin„ Sisal, in his opinion, the amendment presented the best way et getting ti.iof the Bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed,in vindication of himself, that had he not performed , the duty which he had been calied on to p•i foram his comilact would then have been disgraceful, as it would be it' he shrunk iron pursuing the course which Wits i•egaired of hint by his other. Mr. HUME condemned the Bill as being founded on the foulest mid basest conspiracy. (Hear, lacer!) The Attorney-General had degraded himself. All our poWer had 'teen exerted to procure evidence; while, on the other hand, Dr. Henry experienced the greatest impedi ment in the endeavours to procure the Queen's witnesses. The passports of four, out ut overly-tour persons, woo had tendered their evidence, had been refused; and ail through the means mid machinations of Govermaent Agents. He. however, was satisfied, when all the evidence came to be heard, that the Lords would not find the Queen guilty; asst therefore he was nut for the ainentiment, by the adoption of which the Queen would be deprived of the means of making her defence. If the Bill should be throw' out, and if justice were done, nil those who had been concerned in the measure, not forgettite; the Mi nisters, woehi be impeached. The laws were equal; and he did not see why a Minister, as well as a weaver, should not be hanged, if he violated the laws. The Ministers had done more titan all the seditious meetings to bring Royalty into contempt; and the opening or the Orden Bag, in which some of the Church had assisted, bud done injury ta the Church, as well as to mends. He would then have then' beware how they proceeded—fur it was known that murals night be inaimitined without an established Usureli. It they disturb the corner stone, all might soon cum down. In Scotland there was no want cif morality, and yet they had nut the expence of Bishops. Lord CASTLEREAGH felt it to be most painful to he dragged into the partial .diseitasion of a measure which was cut even before the House, but winch was in progress thioito the other House. lie maintained that it would not be sligniftedliii the /loose to gel rid of ilia Bill in the way practised by the amendment. As to the conspiracy lacing or Hanoverian &iglu, the relation being graced Nab the often-told story of Baron d'Ompteda, the state ments were not warranted. The violence, if it were offered, was most unjustidable; but be had made impieties of Count Munster, who replied that lie did not knew of any thing which warranted the statement regarding Baron Otioptinla..aud that his conviction was, abet lite) , were without foundation. Countenance would not be given to those mischievous designs which they all deplored; acid, he trusted, that the House would nut be diverted from the gevformance of its duty. Mr. MABERLEY said, that the language adopted by that House, particularly in the Add' ess to the Queen, had itreng,thened the Opinion that it was alike contrary to the hawsers of the nation and the Kiug to proceed. (Hear., Alr.CßEEVEY.cotale 1111 l cd the Billond maintained that ii had bean promoted in a way that was maculated to do no honour to the parties. But after all, it was said that the Divorce Clause was to be given tip. If so, was there any one that did not think that such abandoiimunt resulted front the fear of recriiiiioation ? Aud did they thick that such opinion was 110 degradation to the King?—(Hear.)— Strung ..s were the sentiments which had been tittered there, strong as were the writings that had a:pealed 1111 the subject, all were feeble in ettect, compared with their Lordship' declaration Unit :urn clause might be aban doned.
