This was not the language of Ministers previous to the i ntroductiouof the Bi I I,w hen the Noble Lord told the House that the Bill must pass or the Queen be wholly acquitted. The Bill hail hot passed, and yet the Queen woo not acquit ted. At any rate. it was intended to treat her is some respects as if the Bill bad passed. Was Ibis the behaviour of a Starteruisn, or was it that of • shallow, wicked. crouked policy, varying from die i to dey from the lightest impulses? And yet Jm apprehended the worst change remained hehiud psi mesa with regard to the character of Minister/e s winch would Nod them, in their eves-varying field** sass, to restore her Majesty's musse.lo the Liturgy. Miuisters were often charged with the selfishuirel which induced them to hold to office at the ew e pease or their characters as Statesmen; iseh,eigmer was . .tliat charge made under such justillsbia ma rctunstawees as against the reigning Adminietration. For the sake of office they had introduced measures which he believed in his conscience they knew to -11te founded in falsehood and iujustice....l4 the asks of office they had risked the tranquillity of the cows. try upon those measures—for tits sake of office they had involved the religion of the country in the great est peril—for the sake of office they had dissolved City bond of onion which connected the clergy and the, church with the people. And all this had beendone without soy allowable plea of political necessity. These were serious charges. Could it be believed that they deliberated equitably ou those tuessures before their introduction, or that they bad resolved on sacrificing or hazardiug their per sonal interest., for the sake of carrying into effect the convictious of their uninfluenced. unbiassed judgments? He strongly deprecated the use to which his Majesty's mime had been perverted, in consequence of the recent proceedings—the whispers which bad been circulated. and the attempts which bad been made to remove the responsibility to theSo • otreign,which ought to rest on his responsible ad risers. Again, he asked, was there any thing fair, coasts. , 'ltitioosl, manly, or just, in such conduct ? He came now to the wretched conclusion of those disgroceful proceedings. Here he found all the arguments against them overwhelmed by the majority. which they. commanded in that House, though the decision Was against the reuse of the whole country. He would leave the Noble Lord in the unquestioned and wholly undisputed enjoy. relent of his triumph on the division of Friday week lost. If tar resolution he held in his hand should be stet by a similar division, after that he would give the Noble Lord no further trouble, seeing that the,will of the Noble Lord in that House was every thing, and the seine of the country nothing.— /Hear, hear./—He iitteoiled to trust to thud- able persons who were likely to follow him , and especially to the Member for Durham, who, lie had reason to hope, would do lino the honour no second his mo tion, to expatiate on the circumstances Cuss weird with it. Having thus, as . broadly as the extent of the few sentences which he hod delivered. given the impression to the House which the con duct of Ministers had made on his own mind, lie would only add his candid sisuraoce to the Noble Lord, that the object of his motiou was not only to express the scope of the House on the cuoduct of Ministers, but by that means to *hive term, if possible, front power—(Cheer,)--not, as he would alewife the Noble Lord, for the sake of the paltry and pitiful object of replacing them by any frieilds of his own, but through a change of men to nitro stuce a chatter of measure., Ile wished friends better that to feel anxious about succeeding to offices, rendered to the last degree irksome and Nv urthle es through continued misgover 1111 l rot. As to his own views. lie tilt himself so ill qualified for office, that it was lus determoostion never to juin its any Adiniuistrition. He would slot wish for a twat iu that, House but for the hope of being able to assist his friends in bringing about a change in the policy of the country. 'He would prefer that mo tion of retireweut which he inientled to seek if the Resolution he lied to propose should he discordant with public opinion.

The Noble tord'opposite had expressed his deteriniuu ,tion to meet the Ressilutien by a direct negative. 'He wished to awaken the florae to a seine of their situation tha eyes of the nation were upon theist. ‘ll iltey really wished to preserve the peace of the 'eonoery, they would agree to his .Resolutiou.— Tbe Roble Marquia,--after thanking the House for the Milistlon with which they had Inwood to him, crewel salmi by moving the following Reooln t ion : to Thatit WA* opialo• of this Horse that his Majosty's Moisten, is advising weasam which led to the late pee ecomitaitilisidihned against her Majesty the Qatar, were notjastfied by soy motive of political expodesacy or me. cavity; sad that their evaded thrtmehoot tended to pro duce ealsseopeoeso derogatory from the dip its of the Crows, and federalist* host interests of the eciestry." LANIIIToII was happy to concur in genii , mite so ably awl so feeliugly expressed, and felt it eo MS small honour to be connected with the Noble Marquis in proposing measures of so promising tendency to allay the irritation into which the coun try had been brought by the conduct of Ministers. The chancier of the Noble Marquis, his known and hereditary attaclintrat to the principles of liberty, would induce him at say time to undertake the seconding of any proposition that Noble Mar quis might choose to make to the House, cerisiu as he should feel that the Noble Mei qui* would never propose any thing unbecoming his high cha racter, and the rank which his family had so long enjoyed among those devoted to freedom and the• beat interests of their country. Ile did nut deem it necessary to remind the House by par ticular detail of the weave and progress of those proceedings to which the motion of his Noble Friend adverted there was scarcely a man in the country to whom it was now necessary to give any further explanation of them; all he ,would re mark on it was, that it now appeared evidently shot the Noble Lord opposite (Caistlerragh) five days after Majocchni first visit to Cavite., Howe (which took place on the 414 Frbrusry in last hear) had declared that as to the Queen, or " the igh personage" (a he then chose to call her), there was not the slightest disparagement intended to her. nor would any other attempt be undertaken towards her except that of snaking , her &suitable pro. vision as well as the other Members : of the Royal Family. He was lbsurpertictslar in hiskprelimivary atetementa, because be had been accused unjustly of bringing forward charges which were not "efficiently eccutate mod circumerantial.• For this reason be had, on the Present occarion. consulted those re cords which were admitted b 7 the House to .be meet deserving of credeoce. bitch were the Pesti meats of the Servant, of the Crown as to the Queen iu February. Moreover, on the of the mooing Puy (after her Majeotyte complaint as to the omission of her name in the Liturgy had reached this country), the Noble Lord to an swer to some observations and inquiries by the Member for Lanark; bed given the Howie to un derstaild that none but the most amicable intentions were entertained by the Ministers of the Crows tuwards her Majesty—though certainly, as his Noble Friend led well expressed it, it was diffi cult io reconcile the omission in the Liturgy with the amicable intentions ',sprained by those who lied advised it—but it afterwards appeared that thous amicable intentions were encumbered with one peculiar condition, that her Majesty would consent to stay abroad. Lord Hutchinson. ou her approach to England. crossed the Channel to meet her. On whose authority Lord Hutchnison had acted he hod not been able to learn. His Lordship professed, however, to be empowered to lay before her Majesty certain details. which had been intrusted to him by the Earl of Liverpool, touching her Majesty's conduct in Italy. These were accompanied by a threat of immediate prosecution if she sat foot in England, and an offer of 50,000/. per assouus if she would again retire into Italy. Li these othcs were sufficient proofs of misconduct to warrant tau Noble Friend's Reselu hon. But here was the case to which lie invited the attention of the 11.:use. Ministrts were in pusses non of secrets respee.irig the alleged misconduct of the Queen, most I them transacted at her Palace on the Lake of Co,no iu Italy. To succour the interests of morality. at they pretended, they met her on her approach to this country, where, whatever had been the contlitiima of her oust life, and however true the allegetioos respecting her disgraceful intimacy with her menial, she most hare consented to reliinjo . ;sh t;,a intercourse sod live iu decent tetiremenZ : end 1 04 : 0 1 10 .cd to her to return with • halide:4lm provision.

Ile owned that this would have been a miller of personal difficulty to them selves, however they might have acted iti bringing it about. But it was their duly to have dune it, and do other conduct could be recnocileahle with the rvislity of their prat-yawns. The offer which they mink to her Majesty was indiguatitly ttjvciril.

How- then could it be pretended that Stab' expediency, or any* suds motive, had led to the"' adoption of a proceeding which more than any ether 'had tended to disputes the vision which bound the Crown and the people together ? He next came to the Bill of Pains suet Penalties, respecting which he would not offer welly remarks. He was reedy to admit that those Bills were available on very particular °religions; that on some there might be a State necessity for appealing to them; but only when State necessity was imperative could their use be several:table; hi any other case the union of judicial and legislative functions of accusers and jurors in the saute persons, mast render them entirely objectionable. State necessity. the only excuse which could he alleged for the introduction (slouch • Bill in her Majesty'. case, fell to the ground. He knew that Milliliters themselves were conscious of the justice of the charge of impolicy ; awl it op peered as if the whole proceedings had been dictat ed 7 by malice alone, excited by her Majesty, be cause she was anxious to return home to her country, from which she had not by any law been exctudrd. Accordingly in June the green bogs were brought down and laid on the tables of either Hotter. The Peers had sheer° uncommon anxiety and hastiness to come at the contents of theirs. The Commons were in no such hurry. The great. eat dread way entertained, especially by the Mem ber for Bramber, ae to the probable effect of the in vestigation on public morals. A motion was made, wine!' cleared the way for certain negociations, in Which offers were made to het Majesty of a limit ed acknowledgment of her dignity aid title on the side of Ministers, sad stn eliquali6ed ad mission of her rights and dignities, at least at one Court to which she was to retire, put in on behalf of her Majesty. These irreconcilable con ditions caused the negoeiations to be broken oft. Then folloa-ed the motion of the Hon. Member for Bramber, who, while making it, observed; that if a smile appeared Ott lii. face at the mention of the term green bag, lie could assure the Hodge that there was • pang at his heart, caused by the dread of the inquiry proposed to the House into the cons tents of that which lay on the table." The general concurrence of the Horse in this sentiment, was mode pretty evident, and the Noble Lord and Waster, toted with the mover. The motion wet' naeocceetful in its object, end the dread of the Hon. Member for Brerober, as to the interests of public morals, was painfully realized. Those Ministers who had voted for • resoturi 111 l , declatjag that the proceedings about to be instituted, ter= initiate hew they would, most !wove 6 , derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests . of the empire," persisted in ins troducing these very proceedings. Was this the way to protect the true dignity of the Crown, the perry of public usorale, cad the real interests of the nation? There was mere done to dissolve Iffe union of the stele with the community, there was more mischief brought open public morals by this one act, thee ony one, the Member for Bramber not excepted, could has 4 !moodily anticipited.— That veil which policy had thrown over the conduct of Royalty, witch had hero deemed by the wise and good in all periods to be essential to the pre servation of civil order, had been Qdely turn asunder by the Ministers of the Crown, and that conduct had been subjected to the observation and censure of the whole country. The records of r est offences hail been raked up from the (lust and ob livion in which they slumbered and brought to belt. Net one act of soy Member of the Royal Family, of a reprehensible character, had been suffered to sleep, though in all probability uot one of those acts would have been remembered •r recited hind it not been for those unjust and impolitic proceedings against her Majesty. The House bud to congratulate them selves on the result of that inquiry, a perseverance in which might have i,ivolvetl them in all the hor rors of civil conomoti 111 l . If the dignity of the Crown had been injured, however, ne less was the mischief loolight upo» the public morals. He might appeal to every one who heard him to know from each how great was his anxiety during the progress of those measures, to prevent among his family the effects of a disclosure of filth which could have never entered into the heads of any but the filthy fiends who described them—a pol luted mess of falsehood, the fabrication of discard ed chambermaid., footmen, boatmen, and persons whose diameters mode credit in their depuoitions impossible. He might fairly comment, though he would not, on the defective and rotten character of the evidence adduced. lie might very ptoperly ask why Ministers were not as anxious to inquire into the characters of the witnesses as they stewed thesuselses eager to etwoUctie their incredible tales? Why they had not appealed to those persons of character and respectability who knew toe wretches,. and were nearest to the epplicatiou of Monsters Why were treachery and falsehood alone passports I in their confidence ? Could they trust to nothing . but p:rjury and falsehood The people were fully waviotcrd that the evidence was the produce of .ioslivrtislicto alone:. they were of opinion that the Milan Comtnissiun heel been only solicitous to gather lustier of accusation, and fur the erection of that ingoisitorittl tribunal and oil its proceed logs they omsidered Ministers slime responsible. The Petitions which had been in heaps laid on the table in general demendetd inquiry into that stab ject, and he trusted befuee long to see the object of those prayers grouted. The Noble Lard, in all probability, would futinii his remarks im oppo.iiig the motion (with that confidence which was peco- liar to I not on the policy or justice of the pro ceedings aimed at by the Resolution, bat on their similarity to those of 1806. lie was ready to meet the Notate Lord tau that subject whenever it might Ise tiecersary to discus. it; but it was not now the question ; one injury could never be justified by another. in imitation of his Noble Friend, Le would avoid going, ,into the proceedings of the other limier, however strongly lie might feel us to the equity and fairness of those proceedings. The refusal of the list of witnesses, and the sped ficetiou of time, places and circutostioce, cite air • - 'Ol.-riNSY olfaction of witnesses, the palpable interfetteee of German Counte--(fire, hearf—were -only cal culated to mark the its3uStice of the prosecution in all its perm, sad to IStetri that when once a deviation from strict constitutional justice was entered on, the way could not be pursued without additional acts of tyranny and oppression trkjug_pleee..at every step. But he had to charge . Minietets /kith the ungracious prorogation of Petliamentooof a Parlisment moo, which, as it was the-Artier a tie. feign. so also had it shewn it. affection . fat 'the throne, by munificent supplies provided for .the Civil List ; yet, notwithstanding its claim* to gntcietteness and attention from the head of tip Suds% it had been dismissed without a emiell ,of acknowledgment for its liberal provisions, as if to convey en unjust intimation that his Majesty shared in the disappointment end defeat of his servant, with respect to the fate of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. He had always understood that the Constitution required that acts of grace and favour were to be dis p ensed by the Crown, but that when any thing harsh and severe was of necessity to be esecuted, the Sovereign was to retire, rod the whole character and responsibility of the measure devolved on the Ministry. How came it to pass (lie put it to some of the Gentlemen opposite who had honoured him with their cheers) if they protested concurrence ili this maxim, that it was not atteudei to by them ? Flow came it to be reversed ? A when the people called from every part of the coun try fur an act of grace and beuigait%, why was the 1 Monarch made to utter the refusal in terms of re buke ? But, above all, why was the Queen stall to be debarred trent her rights, and treated as one meriting punishment through convictina ? The Commons hid avoided inquiry : the Lords had en. tered into it, and Ministers were compelled to llitig the Bill out. The Noble Lord had declared that there was oo alternative but the passing of the 8011, or the fullest enjoyaoeht of her rank end privileges by her Majesty ; and yet it was ouly the other alight that the Noble Lord made a proposal to establish in opulence our whoa) he had denounced as having dune acts winch made her urine unfit for reteniion in the Liturgy. He apologised for having detained the House, which the was very unwilling to do. He preferred cun finiug his cervices to such merely as were required of him by his coostituentie Against the reiterated de clarations of the people, Ministers bet up Loyal Ad decrees, in which, by the way, not one sentiment was uttered respecting the Queen, or the conduct of Ministers. They were merely declarations of loyalty, sod of implicit and servile opinion. With which class the House would decide, be could not unclertalke to soy. As a reformer, he ought wish their decision to he contrary to public senti toeut ; because there appeared to be scarcely any other way of effecting a remedy for that went of union which ought to exibi between the legisla ture and the constituent body. But being at pre. sent anxious fur t h e allaying of that imitation which the country at present was suffering, wish ing to heal the wounded peace of the country, and imploring the House to lend itself fur once to just sod wise measures of eouciliatiou, lie begged leave to second the motion of hie Noble Friend. Mr. BATHUaST rose. He professed his sorrow at the declaration of the Noble Mom, that he could never be brought to accept of office, as high talents, rank, and influence, must always reader leis name and assistance desirable to an administratio:: of hir friends. He proposed to meet the question as the Noble Mover proposed, as a trial of the policy amid expediency of the conduct of Miuisters. He went into a circumstantial defence of Ministers us to the institution of the late trial of the Queen, urged to it as they had been by rumours, not coming from the clainelous part of the public—(Hear. heorl—he meant not coming from such classes as thaw who, whether right or wrong, had been most busy in their efforts on behalf of her Majesty, but coming as intipmerable rumours did, and that nobody could deny, from many persons of the highest respectability. how could it be contended that his Majesty's Ministers ought not to have r „.x. stained into their foundation ? It was impossible for Ministers to have-avoided thee:lamination. The sim ple question which the (loose had to confider was, whether the Ministers of the Crown were in the beginning justified in bringing forward the proceed ings as a matter of charge? The Hun, Member next alluded to so ..seer girse by her Majesty's advisers, that she sh ou ld either have her name re stored to the Liturgy, or some equividetit. What did that equivaleut menu ? At one time, one sin gle admission to Court, acknowledgiug her as Queen of these realms, would have satisfied her. But now site demands that which is quite incon sistent with the dignity of that House to grant. Ulifurtuertely she had been advised to refuse that which had been offered, the only thing which, un der all the circumstances, the House could grant. Ilasitig, as he thought, now convinced the House that some proceeding was accessory, the next thing to be considered was, what proceeding was the best to be adopted. The ordinary tribunal for adultery could not be resorted to. What then remained ? Either impeachment, or the mn'a.ure that had been resorted to. a Bill of Pains red Penalties. Now lie was firmly olopinicee that the mode that had been 1 adopted was by far the wisest ; but he was surprised ! at the demands that bad bees. made on the ground of I right. Surely such &demand at the present time but ! ill accorded with the conduct and sentiments of her hlajesty'o law adri.ers; fur surely if it could be shewn to have been iller(al to deny the restoration of her 'lime to the Liturgy, it was idle and richest ! lints to talk of it ii. • matter of favour.

U. did not conceivd that they called on to explain the reasons that indoced to give that advice. It hail been stated le Noble Mover, that the sole motive that iii Ministers to bring forward the measure was to thew plices.
