This brings the whole affair to its proper issue. The question is, as we have 'eked again. and again, where is the necessity or expedience of the proceeding ? It may be called the peet•lons question.; and a momentous question it is. he defereace to Earl Gnat's suggestions, Lord Kowa agreed to postpone his motion till the present day, whew the question cannot fail to produce a most inter eeti•S discussion.

The Ministerial Journals ger on daily to outdo themselves (and that is more than out-heroding Herod) In ABSURDITY. They affect to ascribe the public hatred which pursues the preceedings against the QI:REN, to the artifice; of the Revolutionists. It is the artifice of the great majority of the nation, if then be artifice in it. It is the artifice of the Arietoerom of these Realms—of the Wealth; in Commerce-6-4f the Middle tleacz—and of all route, end goodness, end greatness, among Me Popxlare. Independent of the Hirelings of a Court, and of the Dependents Ida Court, it is the artifice of every honest man in the country. One of the Ministerial scribes says—"• The Ides it March are enure : are, and what is better, gone to !" Lad another of these Hirelings exclaims—" The trait Serous factions, who bad flattered themselves with the hopes of I lion on this important occasion, have been completely disappointed." We ask the bulk of seen of property, of good sense, and of independebet of mind and character, throughout the whole country. to.say—on which side is the artifice here ? Did they hope for Insurrection ? Did they contemplate Inuit when, when they luthrodted the PROCEEDINGS agalaill 4he QUERN ? Did they employ other weave dim honest, and open, and indignant remonstrance against the new dangers which surround the Throne, con trived by the self-canoed FRIRNos of the Tenotes ? What artifice was there in THIS, except It be artifice In the COURTIER'S DICTIONARY, openly to speak what is on the heart of an open, generous, and honest public ? Why s'auuld the country be mocked with insults by the pretended Friends of the Throne ? Among the first Ministers of the late IlitNe: were ENEMIES TO HIS RACE; and have they propagated their kind, to , surround the Throne of treonor IV. ? If so, the pre traded Fri , ads of the Throat. are Enemies to Me How of Beuxsw ice. The nation is not to be inti midated by the Yem.s of the old .Theolaites, turned Hanoverian. is ACIIkt ; nor to be seduced from its genuine and true loyalty, by their artifices. The nation is es wise as they err ; although it will never pretend to be half' so cunning. What happened on Thursday, on the first day of this portentous trial ? The sey:aereticJ friends of the Throne were full of artifice. You could not go into I any street of the tnetrop Elie, you could not look into any avenue, or quarter found it, without seeing the produce of their artifice, in dreadful note and prepare. , tion of war. But you saw the erring every t. hem tranquil—reposieg on the justice of their raise, and praying Heaven to visit with vengeance the real chi. Eaters of justice in this question. One of the Minim terial Prints, in pursuance of their general system of artifice, asserts that the people base found out flat they have nothing to do with the question. Tit*.

But to say. that the people have found oat that they hare nothing to do with this question, when the streets and house-tops, and all spaces are crowded with cheering altitudes wherever her Majesty appears, requires a harder name than impudence to express it. The people hope the Lords will see their Own true interests in this unhappy Bill before them. lint if it should prove otherwise, they still turn their eyes will confidence on the House of Commons. They koesit that in that assembly there are numbers, who, is a, question which touches the vital interests of the cow munity, would not follow the advice, nor obey the dictates of Conerextox, and who will say to Minis ters—We will follow you no further. They haw there are Members of that House who are men of supe rior minds, superior knowledge and inßnenee, and who will not sacrifice the inheritance of their posterity let a place or pension. These, they know, are not es poor in calculation, so little versed in the &amnion Rule of ?Arm as to barter their share in the Coati tution for a few er many pounds now.

And they know also, and if thesetira a m airs of their rights, the people's rights, should be so unwise, they (Tarr. reoete) need net rot* t e bargain. The people never were more seethe. never more tranquil. The Ministerial ecribes were. therefore, oat of their count and reckoning, when they expected the people the other day to be fretful—or rather, they lied when they said they had say such suspicion. They deceived not themselves, for they are better informed, but they deceived their readers when they held up an alarm of a petty is surrection, for they know the people hate no need to resort to such aboetive means in seeking after their safety. flak Ron, the people have tenpler sad better means, and are not In that Oils Si i,nbeeile irritation, which the thasunes Woad make us believe they suspect.

ItATURDAY. Ara. M. CREDINGS.AO A INIT THE QUEEN. The Loan CUANCILLLOR entered the Mouse at ten •'clock, and prayers were immediately read by the Bishop of Landalf. The Judges soon after entered the House and took their seats. A report reached the House that her Majesty would not be able to attend the proceedings during the day, in consequence of the fatigue of yesterday. The following Peers were called and excused :—Lord Howard of Walden, and Lord Keith. The other defaulters were Viscount Palsiontk, and the Duke of Newcastle. MOTION TO DIsPENSZ WITH THE BILL. Lord Kinn rose and said, Counsel for the Queen, en the Bill of Pains and Penalties, having been heard, he thought it necessary to interpose, to prevent the Bill being entertained. It was agreed spots, that no necessity existed for such a Bill; and that, oil the contrary. great danger would arise from the adoption of it under any circumstances but those of dils(fluost urgent necessity.—(Hear, hear It *So a most extraordinary way to viodkate the bowie of the nation, by giving permission to the quoit to continue in the course of profligacy attributed to her, upon condition that she should remain abroad, and preparing her for the most de grading punishment if she violated the conditions of fered. The complaint that the whole feeling of the country was wounded by the conduct of the Queen, was absurd. It was rather a wound to the dignity of that House when the subject was brought under their consideration. Burke once Paid, Kings were fond of low company.—(A laugh.)—Had her Majesty been pirmitted to move in the rank to which she was en titled, the charges might never have been known. The proceedings before the House were to be and. bitted in a great measure to the misfortune of keeping company below herself. It was extraordinary to hear Counsel speak of the necessity of the prosecution and publk morals, with a view to produce an effect on the minds of their Lordships. The honour of the House always depended on a just administration of justice, and looking to the situation in which they were placed, they could only attend to 'tamests which had real morality and justice for the basis. As they were then situated, they might be reduced to the mortifying condition of having their interposition, rendered ineffectual by the proceedings in the other House. The Members of the Commons might attend to the recommendation of their conotitnents, and I threw oat the BUL Was it to be supposed tiny would deprive the Queen of her direly open evidence they could not receive on oath They would attend to the existing law, and adopt a more legitimate course of proceeding. The Noble Lord concluded by moving a resolution s declaring that it was not necessary for the radio safety that the Bill should pass into a law. The Karl of Ltvgarout, rose to ewes the Mali, and support the Bill as a judicial pessimist.. Oar sidering it such, he bad no hesitati6o is issimist OS House mast proceed in the course they Sid adeted. He was ready to maintain that a Bill of Pains and Penalties, and Bills of Attainder were, in eases of emergency, absolutely necessary. The existesee ,of such measures was to be traced to an early period of the Constitution. In the present case, the proceeding adopted was peculiarly applicable. The Judges were of opinion the Queen could not be tried for high treason, and there 'was then but one other course to be adopted, namely, by Bill of Pains and Penalties. Proceedings by Impeachment would be subject to greet iseoevenience, and it was not quite clear it could be supported at all. It was certainly a great defect in Common Law that adultery was only punishable by civil process, but that was the law. If their Lordships proceeded by impeachment, it would be over-ruled perhaps by the Judges, on • poistref law arising out of the peculiar circumstances alike ease. The act of adultery was oemenitted by the Queen, before she was Queen, and perhaps the art if the Princess of Wales could not be punished in the Gwen Consort ; and the Noble Earl believed that the rights of her Majesty, as Queen, would stead against every thing but an Act of Parliament. The House of Commons waited for the proceedings or 41refellitodellips to begin the same mime. sad unlit a the circumstances it was his opinion they were bind to go on, or drop the question altogether.— (Hoar, bear, hear might now be expesliest to drop it, bat the House having adopted it, they could sot retrace their steps.
