401 TITF, NATIO'NAL RF,C;ISTF.-R. M... Tierney, it was previously understood that her defence should be abandoned ; that the motion was intentionally framed to get rid of the subject ; and that her professed friends were parties to the delusion. They would now tempt her to her fate, that they might have some excuse for this palpable dereliction; and, knowing the power of money upon the necessitous, would seduce tie virtue they would admin ister to, and make her a party to her own condemnation. By this proccediug the Princes;; of Wales can neither go backwards nor for wards. if she accu e ts the money, her mo tive may be questioned—if she declines, all means of further defence are withheld front her— Power and calumny seem to have triumpin d for a time, and without an immediate appeal, mint submit in silence to the indignities That are heaped upon her. To whom then can that appeal be made ? Shut out from the means of redress pointed out by the Constitution, all she has to do is to make good her cause with the people ; and who will say that this may not be misconstrued ? The term, faction, is always fruitful of reproach, and few men can be found to contend with it. Besides, the enemies of the incess of Wales know full well how to avail themselves Of the present moment. Exhilaiated by the prospect of a permanent peace—full of the enthusiasm agvakened by the sight of those august Persons who have contributed to procure it—exhausted by a round of dksipations, the mind has nothing . to repose upon. The moment of joy is neither the u t omcnit ofself-examination nor of cool enquiry. People feel I , r the Princess, heft ere they can devise means to meet her grievances, they are hurried away by fresh objects of amise ment and novelty,.and the iatevesting sorrows of an injured woman, are lost in the vortex of mental delirium and per sonal grati(ication ; but with us, whce-live and breathe at a distance from the successive noise and bustle of pleasurable preparaPion, the thing is different. Our opinion is un changed Similar causes must lead to similar results, and " that some ulterior steps are in contemplation that may erdanger the peace and security of the empire." IMPERIAL PAILLIAMENT. HOUSE Clir LORDS. JUNE 26. we re s erious charges ; and as they were not denied by any Noble Lord connected with the county, and no explanation was given, it did appear fitting that this motion should not be agreed to. The Loup CHANCELLOR admitted the illegality of opening let ters, ind refusing to admit legal advisers; nevertheless he consi dered it proper that some further ground should be laid before their Lordships interfered in the manner now proposed. Lord HoLLAND supported the motion. Lord BATHURST opposed it. Lord STANHOPE having► replied, The House divided, and the motion was lost by 24 against 6. In answer to a question from Lord HOLLAND. Earl LIVERPOOL said, enquiries would be madP by the Secretary of State to ascertain if there were grounds for further proceedings. 'WEDNESDAY, JUNE Qt.. The third reading of the Bristol See Income Augmentation Bill was moved ; upon which Lord REDESDALE moved a new clause, which, however, was not admitted.

The Bill was read a third time, and passed. No business of importance on Thursday and Friday. HOL cr, OF COMMONS. Mf►NDAY, JUNE CO. Sir N. W. Rrnr.r.v inqnired of the Chancellor of the EXCIIC. quer, 44 when it was intended to make a communication to the House, relative to th:' expected marriage of her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte ?'"lhe Right Hon. Gentleman answered, that he had received no commands on the subject. Mr. 1V ii ITIMEAD observed, that the House ought not to consider this as a satisfactory answer; and then proceeded to argue, that, as the subject of the intended marriage between the Princess Charlotte and the Hereditary Prince of Orange had been announced to his subjects by the Sovereign of the Netherlands—as it had also been an nounced by her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, in her Letter to the Speaker--and as it was now universally In hem] that the marriage was at an end, the Princess Charlotte - having declined the union milli the Prince of Orange, from motives that bad reference to the object of a motion to he brought on to-morrow by Mr Me thuen, it was treating the House with disrespect not to make some disclosure on so important an affair. He therefore moved, " that an humble Address be presented to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent, praying that he would be graciot sly pleased to acquaint the House ii the treaty of marriage which was on toot between her Royal Highness the Princess Charlotte and the Prince of Orange was broken olL' Sir Zl. W. RIDLEY seconded the motion. Mr. STEP!! EN said the 1110:i011 was indelicate, indiscreet, and most indecent. Mr. 1% ntinut:An, and others, called Mr. Stephen to order, and appealed to the Speaker, who decided that as the words applied to the motion, and not personally, it was not disorderly. Mr. Si CPHEN resumed, that the motion was most ineeeent and wanton, and asked Mr. W. if be would adwit such a proposition to he made rezarding his own daughter. On tie suggestion of Mr. HORNER, Mr WIIITHR LAD withdrew the motion, on an understanding that Sir M Ridley would bring forward a motion on the subject some futnre day. 't'he motion of Mr. Wilbeiftnee respecting the Slave Trade was postponed till Monday next. The House went into a Committee on the Spirit Intercourse Bill wheti Mr. VA NS RT said, it was intended to propose only a tempo rary measure for the intercourse of Irish Spirits with this country. The into - course was to be allowed without any drawback, and the form of the Act would be very nearly the same as in 1811. He would therefore move that the Chairman be directed to move tor leave to bring in a Bill to regulate the trade in Spirits between Great Britain and Ireland, for a time to be limited. :NTONDAY, JUNE CO.
