The Hon. and Learned °enigmas then contineuted on weevil charges of inconsistency which were brought against some of bis Hon. Friends who had preceded bias in the debate. He seat animadverted on tlte,silence of tbe Attoreey-General upon the question for the last eight mouths. It was the duty of hottest advisers to speak the truth to the Mo narch, however amplumast the troth might be in his ear. Hon. °endows, en his side of the Hotta were charged with having b a d recourse to Parliamenta r y tactics in bringing f o rward this question never was there a charge IRON itnfeneded. The Right Honorable (fent. on the other side, and those with whom he acted, bad sot spots record a single argument which west to refute the serious charge against them, involved in the motion of his Noble Friend.—(Lod Cheers.) --That otion wu in fact, an impeachment of Ministers. — Continued Cheers). As to the case of Phillip and +try, quoted by the Hon. and Learned Attorney Gene ral. it was to him (Sir James MachiLtosh) most sur prising how he weld ban cited it. Phillip and Mar y Isere Papists, and as such, not considered as at the head of the church. What, then. was the Hon. and Learned Attorney General top) to the Popish Ritual for prece dents to support his arguments ?—(Loud cheering). His Honourable Friend, the member for Westminster, had very aptly illustrated this point tbsus with respect to the wife of George I. who was styled- Duchess of Zell, all that could be said wu, that she inherited that title front her father, who was Minot Zell, acid her assuin ii.g it after she was separated from her hosband, peered th,tt she was held to be divorced. to all intents and per peses. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman then proceeded to examine in detail all the various statutes enacted, in reference to the question, and denied the correctness of the interpretation given to them by the Attorney General. He contended that the high autho rity. of Lord Clarendon and Sir Matthew Hate, was against the Honourable and,Learned Gentleman. He feared he trespassed too long on the douse.—(Hear, hear,)—hut he felt that this was a question not concern ing one Queen alone, but whether all the future Queens of England were to 1:e the slaves of every future admi nistration, (Hear, hear,) or whether they were to enjoy that independence which the constitution traceried them to have.—(Hear, Lear!) The Hoe. cad Learned Gent. then proceeded to contend. that the exclesiou of Prince Ororge of Denmark from the Liturgy was so precedent in support of the exclusion of her present Majesty, be ediie the 25th section of the act of uniformity did nut contemplate the Consort of Queen regnant. George was the booliewid of Anne, end. he did not come under the other part of the description, namely, " the royal progeny." Bat the Princess Sophia's name was in serted. as she was one of " the royal progeny"—a per eon towards whom Anne had no friendly feelings. When he first heard of this measnre, be supposed that Ministers were at least secure as to the legality of what they did. But he was now fully convinced of the imbe cility of their case. Much was said of holding the scales of justice with an even hand, before the trial of her Ma jesty And yet, before that trial, bv the omission of her cassea The SPEAKER Wei,. Hee.

Lord CASTLEREAOH thee res. to oppose the mo tion amidst cries from every part of the House. Tbe j Noble Lord west on to argue, that in this question the Hon. Gentlemen ppposite had lost sight entirely of the' , Omen, • and were only. occupied with their plans of ag graadising tbeessehres, and ge tting into power. AI great deal had been saidtf the illegality of dm opote suns takes byooverament, but.that was now gone then was was no doubt bet that the King in Coeneil had •1 discretionarypower with regard to the inserties of the l Queen's name in the Liturgy. The present motion was bet a trick to catch votes. By framing a prop:idea which did sot directly censure. Ministers, bat was col laterally directed against them, the framers of this motion expected to have some Members with them. who they knew to be decidedly ho,tile to them on the general views of the case. But after all, what would be the effect of the motion ? would it succeed is restoring her Majesty's name to the Liturgy. which was the precise object ? Certainly not. tie Aid isist think his friends near him treated the question. id framed and so indirect, in an unbecoming' Mg. bis. moving an immediate adjournment of the Hosefinpleir it. Much bad been said of the Q ueen's logal right' to have her name in the Liturgy. To him it did not appear to come within the definition of "a right." He had never read in any writer that it had been treated as such. Blackstone, though very particular in describing the rights of the Queen Consort, said not a word of her right to be prayed for. it was clearly a metier entirely within the King's discretion. And if her Majesty bad a legal right to it. why were her law advisers silent so long. He should again say, that with regard to the law of the case, there alas no thing at all in the wording of the clause in the Act of Uniformity, which limited the discretion of the King in Council; indeed, by the very geniusof the law, the King seemed to be looked upon as the person the most qualified to settle all matters relating to the Royal Family, and it never could be the policy of the Legis lature to look with suspicion upon that care so en trusted to the Sovereign. For, would it escape the observation of the House. that the education and mar riages of all the branches of the Royal Family were entirely under the King's controul ; and it would be a most dangerous principle indeed, if Parliament were to interfere with him in an affair, which was clearly connected with the internal management of his do mestic household. And, really, when (leatlemen talked of the hardship which the Queen suffered in the late trials to which her Majesty bad been put, he could not help . reminding theme( the way in which s he was treated in 1806, when Lord Erskine was one of her judges. It had been the boast of Lord Erskine, that he would have no sort of trial but that by jury ' • apd yet, in what way were the proceedings in '!1116 co nducted— upon a principle of the most inquisitorial secrecy, un known to, and without the privity of the defendant, and &lodgment. as it was in fact, pronounced upon her by her father and her S i = n before she had any notice at it, bat what she from commmais rap*.

The abstract, right or wrong, of the act disputed, was not the point at issue. The feeling of the people, or the peace or welfare of the country, was a subject of their least eingideration.
