Coccomesa Missions Btxx.—Mr. Wildman moved the Second Reading of the Colchester Quarter Sessions Bill, observing on the advantages that would result from the division of the Quarter Sessions, and the removal from Chelmsford to Colchester. The principal inhabit ant' of the County were most anxious fur the Bill, and had petitioned in ("your it. Mr. WESTERteepposed the second reading of the Bill. He concluded with moving that it be read a second time this day six months. Mr. D. W. HARVEY strongly supported the Bill, con tending that it was a powerful claim on the justice of the House. It was not the adoption of a new priaciple that was asked ; the application of a priaciple previously acted upon was all that was required.

Mr. wiLßEßFoicigaVeWo7i;e of a motion te-mor yew respecting the differences and the negotiations whisk hod taken place between their Majesties. Mr. BROUGHAM observed, that he believed notices would take precedence of orders to-morrow. In that case the Hon. Member's motion would come on before the eerier of the day for resuming the adjourned debate on his Majesty's Message. As that would be the case, he should like to know what course of proceeding was in tended to be adopted. Did the Noble Lord intend to give any account of the Negotiation, and the grounds on which it had failed; if so, the Queen's advisers being there, would also be prepared to defend themselves. He took it for granted that the House would proceed to ex press some opinion on the Negotiation that had unfortu nately failed. In that case it would be essential that both parties should be first severally beard. (Hear.) If that course were not to be pursued, would they not be pre maturely entering on the ulterior question. (Hear, hear.) Lord CASTLEREAGH could nut join in the principle that the next step would necessarily be to take the opinion of the Reese on the negotiation. In the case of the pro eeediagast Vision, the results were laid before the Home. bet =opiates es them was weer asked. It was not COCO- Nal. in his view of the ease. that the parties engaged in the =gaieties should begin subsequent proceedings by a juin academe( themselves. He demised it perfectly neaecestary —to adopt a different coarse week! be to meet goestioes of an adverse character. Mr. BROUGHAM added, that be. was mot for arguing quotas, of as adverse character, and loch as might impede the general docusslom of the main "motion. As the Govern meet felt that se defence woo nocessary, be might remark, that neither the advisees of the Quires. moor the Queen, steed in any reed of defence. They all felt prepared to lea= their case, and the consideration of the documents, to the cosisideratieo and candour blase House and the Ceentry.— (Loud cheers.) RIOT blow nu.—Lord NUGENT repeated his enquiry respecting the origin and extent of allowances to the mili tary vibes called out to aid the Civil power to suppress disturbances? Lord PALMERSTON replied, that be believed the allow awe originated at the period when Sir Francis Burdett was sea to the Tuser. The military bad bard duty, and being datalned . in the streets day aod night, awl kept from the s mess and their beams, an allowance of bread and was made. The allowance was in kind not in matey; sled the expense was defrayed by the Commissary Depart sieet.— As tu the recent affair, the complaint was, bet it vii not well (=tided, an excess of duty. Lord NUGENT said, he would not move sow, bet at a future period he would call for an account of the expeoce of wets allowance. The report of the Budget having been presented and agreed to, and the ether Orders of the Day disposed er, the House adjourned. WEDIIIIIDAT, ions 21. Mr. CALCRAFT presented the Report of the Drury . Lane Theatre Acts Amendment Bill,ehiels was agreed to. Mr. CURWEN moved for leave to bring in a Bill to protect Patentees, inc.—Motion agreed to. FURTHER POSTPONEMENT OF THE DEBATE. Mr. WILBERFORCE,bariag been called on by the Speaker, rose. Having expressed his regret that he should have detained the House, be said it had proceeded from eircuautences, over which he bad no controul.— Since he gave the notice last night, circumstances had *enured which would occasion him to vary his motion, auJ for this purpose he desired time. As this possibly might he the only opportunity that would occur of avert lag that most serious calamity which threatened the coun try, he hoped his Noble Friend (Lord Castlereagh) would not object to postpone the business for another day.— (Murmurs and cries of No, no!) The subject was of that importance, it was calculated so deeply to affect the morals and tranquillity of the country, that with the conviction of its importance on his mind, he should think that he ought to be held in contempt it he did not act from the unmixed feeling of the importance of the subject.—(Cheers.) On that ground he begged that he might have the indulgence of another day. Lord CASTLEREAGH lamented that any circumstance should have induced the Hon. Member to call for soy fur ther delay. rae motives which indnced the Hon. Member to require a further postponement were not be fore the House, lint he would take it for granted that they were vet) , good reopens, and such as warranted the course which the Hon. Member desired to pursue. — A. that motion necessarily took, and was required to take precedence of the Order of the Day for resuming the adjourned debate on the Kill's message, and after the request that had been made, without farther impiiry, lie should feel it due to the lion. Member to acquiesce in the request that had been made. lie would give the Hon. Member credit for the gravity of the grounds on which he requited the dented postponement; and, therefore, under such circumstances, he should think that lie de parted item what ought to be expected from him, ii he were to press the House now to decide upon the question of inquiry —a decision towards which it was desirable tI ey should not be pressed, until it suss seen that every Possible expedient that might Icad to adjustment had Tilt NATIONAL Itg4lSTtli. been exhausted. He was aware that great evils resulted from the uncertainties which had unavoidably hung about the period of discussion; and which mast continue till the wisdom of Parliament shooed have come o tsonse deci sion on the subject; and he therefore hoped that no con sideration would induce the Hon. Member to postpone his intended motion beyond to-morrow. The evils of delay were incalculable.—(Hear, hear !) Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that be would to-morrow, satisfactorily explain why he bad isked for delay.— (Hear! ) Mr. TIERNEY observed! that he had thought he pos. sessed some idea of what the Hon. Member's intentions were; but he was now In doubt whether he bad realty any decisive information on the subject. was at all events anxious that there should be some end pat ro this most unpleasant discussion. He could assure the Noble Lord and others, that he would not consent adjournment beyond to-morrow ; if it were asked, he would take the f the House, Whether it should be granted.—(Loud cheers ) Lord A. HAMILTON said, the nature of the motion which intended to make was fur Copy of the Order in Council under which her Majest's name was erased from the Liturgy. Mr. BROUGHAM said, that though be felt the Import since of every boar's delay, he would not oppose the request that had been made ; but he did hope that delay would not be required beyond to-morrow.—(Hear hear.)—lt was the fullest anxiety of the Queen and her advisers that there should not be delay.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. SCARL ETT could not agree that the only alternative which was left to them, in the event of an lion. Member's ( Mr. W.'s) motion being rejected, was to proceed to enquiry. He did not thiuk so, and he believed many othen entertained a similar opinion 4—for whether that motion were rejected or not, he sad others thought that the Home never could adopt the proposed enquiry, (cheers)—that the House never could sanction the species of enquiry which it had desired that they should adopt. (Continued cheering). Lord CAS I'LEREAGH moved, that the Order of the Day, for resuming the adjourned debate be read, for the purpose of postponement. Agreed to, and the debate ae cordiugly adjourned till to-morrow. ! The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought I. the following Bills: A Bill to raise the sum of 12,000,0001.—a Bill to provide for the National Funded Debt (or the present year—a Bill to raise 20,000,0001. by Exchequer Bills—and the Lottery 8.11. Each of these Bills was read a first and ordered to be read a second time. Mr. ROBINSON brought is the Demarara Slave License Rill, which was read a ilrst time, and ordered to be read • second time. The House then went ado a Committee of Supply, In which a c•wvertatioo took place spelt the Resolution that 1,100,000 i. be greeted to defray the extraordinary expeoces of the Army for the year 1820. This resolution and several ethers basin been agreed to, the House attiettrned. THIPUSDAY, JUNI IL The House was crowded excessively before the Speaker took the Chair—even the side galleries were fell. Norrianu•st ELECTION.-Mr. WESTON' beesight up the report of the Committee epee the-Nottingham Elec. lion Petition, which declared the Sitting Members, Mr, Birch and Mr. Denman, drily elected, and that the peti• tiou against the return was frivolons and vexations. THk Quidl4. Soon after I o'clock Mr. WILBER/POW-2 rose amidst load cries of bear. He began by assuring the Howe, that he felt most deeply the weight of the ►arden be bad ua dertaken ; that is fact, the task was of es painful a na ture, that nothing but an imperious same of duty could have induced Mai to place himself in a situation of such heavy responsibility. He rejoiced is having received the suppert of the Moose open making his proponition, and be still emagratalated himself upon the pennuion that all the Members of it were animated by a desire to prevent that fatal inquiry which he feared would take place if the motion he had to submit was not adopted.— The Hon. Gentleman thee stated the progress of the Ne sedation between his Mojesty's Minlsters, and her Ma jesty's Counsel. With respect to the insertion of her Majesty's nom in the Calendar, he begged to be consi dered as being far from undervaluing this point. It did not strike Itiin as fairly applying to any religious view of the subject, bet her Majesty considered It as one or the essen tial argumeutl against a just estimate of her character by foreign aations. This was a easetry, in which, be thanked God, all religious distinctions were nearly done away, and the inhabitants we►e allowed to offer up their prayers in whatever words and form they pleased. Nobody could say, that when the King nod the rest of the Royal fa mily were prayed for, her Majesty was not included.—(Cries of No, Nol)--Had those he addressed ever beard all the Royal Family named without thinking of the Qneeo.--(A laugh and ages of bear I)—It was certainly sometimes the practice to specify the Eames of different members of that family after that of the King ;but he was sere that the Heir Presumptive (the Duke of York) would waive the privilege at the wish of Parliament. It could not be con sidered that her Majesty was excluded from the prayers of the people. Indeed, the best proof of that wa., (but the conferences virtually admitted it. He granted that the ono insertion of her Majesty's mane was not so respectful as that mode of recognition so strongly pressed by the Queen's Law Officers; but the object of the House, In promoting ans. concessions, was to avoid that fatal green bag.—(A nod cries of hear.)—The Hot,. Gentleman here spoke of the bad tendency oflidicrons asseciations, and assured the House I though there might have been a smile upon his lips, there was a pang at his heart.—(Hear, bear.) The Honourable Gentleman concluded, after having declared that her Ma jesty had acted with great courage in her own vindication, with moving, that an humble Address be presented to her Majesty, stating, that the House felt unfeigned regret nt the failure of the late endeavours to obtain an amicable adjust ment of existing differences; thus they were fully sensible of the ohjections of her Majesty to take upon herself the re linquishment of any rights and privileges she plied possess, but that after such large advance% had been mile by his Msjesty's Ministers towards an arrangement, such relisi yoishment must he regarded as peculiaily necessary, that her 'Majesty hook, not he considered as shrinking flout eu (oily by the adoption of such a course, but as rafolding proof of her willingness to conform to the nab of the House of Commons, Mr. I:I{OUGHANI then rose midst hid cries of Lear, hear'—lie said lie rim uiin early in the di-cos on account of the ionlivosition tinder nhich h. IM)ortred, nal winch be feared at a lett ettwd of tltc eVetall6 mtbht p t him frog addressing the Hesse as he could wish ; and partly from the hal* of tins* early enpteasing his sentiments on the inspornial Vanilla behest the Howe. High as was his stalksn in the law departs...l if her Ma jesty, he felt that he had to argue se small part of the question as a Member of that House. It was tree the result of the negotiations was unfortunate, but he was bound also to observe, that no little bad b een gained by her Majesty in those negotiations. (Hear, hear.) Her Majesty had made it the slow flea nen, that her ueimpeacK. able honour and unsuspected title to be Queen should be recognized. Here her Majesty had been inflexible, and it was the only point in which she had been inflexible she required the recognition of her rights, her rank, and her privileges as Queen of England, and that such recog nition should be obtained previously to the opening of any negotiation. Stub recognition had been obtained. —(Hear, hear.)—How it had happened, he would not stop to enquire ; but such was the tact—the Queen bad not arrived in this country with all the pomp that usually characterised the progress of so distinguished a Person. But sew, should departure from this country be consistent with her domestic arrangements, her Majesty was offbred all the pomp and circumstance paid to the highest pet mange la the State. This might be deemed a trifling I eirenmstanee—but where her Majesty was concerned, the return to attentions that bad been neglected, was a good deal. It flowed from the recognition that bad been ob taiued. Further, instead of the " comfort and cense niente" before talked ot, it was undertaken to see that her Majesty was received with suitable respect as Queen —to be announced as such by the proper authorities. Anil lastly it was said, there would be no (lateen:adieu' to agree to a joint Address to their Majesties, thanking them, to gether, for making concessions and yielding to the wishes of Parliament in making amicable arrangements. (Hear, hear When it was recollected that only four months ago the gentlemen opposite could not be brought to men tion the same of Queen; that they talked of an illustrious Lady, the great personage; that every mode of expres sion was exhausted to avoid mentioning the word ; and that now they could constantly call her Majesty the Queen—that they would engage for her reepectfal recep tion at Foreign Courts—and lastly, that they could agree to propose an Address jointly to their Majesties; surely much had been gained. (Hear.) And yet there were those even easoolist the Members who sat around him, to whose buffets he was exposed, as weU as the arguments of Members opposite, who could read the documents be fore the Home, and afterwards say that the Queen bad gained nothing in the recent negotiations. (Hear, hear, hear!) The first ob tion that he built on these advantages gained was that they afforded proof that the Queen's advisers bad not abandoned her. Next, that ground had been actually gained in procuring the recog nition of her Majesty as Queen. But the Gentlemen opposite nevertheless seem determined that the Green Bag should be opened. Let them open it; the Queen bad so objection to it ; her Majesty feared it not. Bat would the House sanction such proceeding I—that was the rock on which be stood—and he would call on Members to saga than the Queen's advisers till the Ministers conceded one step further—the restoration of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy, or the granting of an etinivatent. (Loud and con tinued cheers.) While the King's Message remained on their taste; so long as the recollection of the Green Bag lasted; it was absolutely necessary that something shoal be does to pretreat that misconception which wool 4 remit so Wag as the omission in the Liturgy lasted. The restoration of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy would meet the wishes of many, if not the majority of the Mem bers of that House; it certainly would be agreeable se an overwhelming majority in the country—(chess)—and while it steered the honour of the Queen. it would not elect that of the King. The restoration of the name pre sented the only difficulty that remained; he was as sure as that he existed, that if this obstacle was removed, arranges et would be easy.—(Hear, hear, hear I)—Let the Genuses' opposite once talk of Liturgy in an ami cable tale, and all difficulty would be removed. But it was his Impression, that It was of high and paramount importance to Insist on this revoration..—(Cheers.) He had to express his deep regret that ever such omission should have occurred, and it was contrary to law, because the Act of Uniformity said, that " in all those prayers, litanies and collects, which do any way relate to the King, Queen, or Royal progeny, the names be"--not expunged or admitted according to pleasure, but —" altered and changed from time° time, and fitted to the present occa sion•" This meant that Caroline should succeed to Charlotte as Geo. IV. succeeded to Geo. 11 f. That was the plain meaning—that was the law—and that was rat once his case.—(Cheers.) Abstract reasoning would be vain. 'there was the difficulty, and they could get out of it, if so disposed; but if they were desirous of litigginx this difficulty, then they could entangle theruselve. w itt, ingenious an ht Hiles, and forced constructions. While the omission remained, a stigma remained ; and as they kilow att King only as lie acted by his Ministers, the question was, had the King's Ministers acted right or wrong ? (Hear, hear!) They had adopted a hasty step; they were guilty of an aggravation, in quoting the instance of George the First—( Hear hear! )—hut it they had acted hastily and Improperly, why should they u.tt recede—he would not say retract—by obeying the Law, the general Usage, the Wishes of that House and the Country'— (Cheers!) The Ministers had co iiiiiiiiiii the wrong, aid it was thereinte for then, to waive objection and tr. recede. And let not the Ministers be afraid of conse quences as far as to be concerned about Olt it places,— for if they, in obedience to the a ish of that House, lo.t their places, as the reward of advising the restoration of the Queen's name, he should like to see the stun wit.) would be rash enough to take place ust Site avuiecd ground that the wish and voice of that House , a el c to be disregarded.—(Loud cheering.)
