The LORD CuaNcrit.t.ort directed the Deputy- Usher of the Black Rod to inform the house of Commons; that their presence was required. in order to hear his Majesty's Assent given by Cominisviou to certain Bills.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wsobresoar, JULY 11. At three o'clock the SPEAKER entered the House, and us soon as prayers were over the gallery was opened. The SPEAKER having counted the House, 'hell took the Chair, and Mr. HUME ro►e to ►peak. The SPEAKER, however, anannuoced that a mes senger from the Navy Prize-office was in attend ance, and put the question for las being called in, which being agreed to. the messenger was called in. and presented at the bsr certain' returns of revs in the Prize-office, pursuant to the order of the House, which were laid on the table. Mr. HUME then again when he came doa is to the House yesterday he was not aware, nor had he haul tune to ir.certititi what was the drci *ion of his Majesty's Ministers with r e s p ec t t o th e Queen. Thpy were now within sight days of the period of the colonation, and it was not yet known to what situation her Majtaiy was to he placed, as regarded the part she was to take in that ceremony. It any thing was calculated to renew that irritatwu of the public mind which plevailtd alter the proro gation of Parliament last year, it was the adoption of any line of conduct towards her Majesty which would have the appearance of a renewal of her per secution. lie had heard thus morien,i; that at a meetilig of the Privy Council it load Ewen unani mously resolved, "'that a. it appeared to the Conti et' that Queens Consort of this realm had never been entitled as at eight to he clowned at any time, • her Majesty travelog entitled to the claim spec'. • lied in her hlletttiaiiko b a d "did' t Ile , utmost attention to the errtmeos of glee C 0 4 144 on her Majesty's . dud, eller as be was able to judge, it was his decided opinion, and he was con viuced it was 'hat of the country at laige, that her Majesty'.

Kits • sp thill e :th.e Alta es oldie would Itiolt upon her . exelaskin from t ceremony as another of those fseriee — ritions had SO lone been suisj i e;e7l: ... ittelot his intention therefore to move an Address to his Majesty, pray ing that if the Queen had not by law a right to partake in the ceremony of the coronation, as it was the expectation of the public that she would take part in it, his Majesty would be graciously pleased to order that she should be crowned. The Noble Marquis in that House, and m Noble Lord in the other, had declared that the fullest justice would be done to her Majesty, us far as regarded any claims which the might prefer. It could not be expected of him that lie thuulil then go over the whole of the case made out on the port of her Ma jesty in support of her claim to be crowned; but he might be allowed to isay..thet - it was his fair opt- Mon Shot she had a right to he crowned, and that her claim lied beemfully established by arguments drawn from the constant wedge and history of the country. Her Majesty was placed in a situation its which no woman before had ever been placed ; and he (Mr. Hume) considered that Isis Majesty would consult bus own honour, and that the dignity of the Crown would be much increased by acquiescing in this inotinice in the wishes of the country. By no one act had his Majesty ever done more to tranquillize and conciliate the public aloud than he might now effect, if he would by hieown act, ns a boon if lie pleased so to consider it, place the Queen in that situation in which lie (Mr. H.) conceived she bad a right to be placed ; and no thing could have a greater tendency to irritate sued inflame the public mind, than a perseverance in that midair( which had hitherto been pursued towards her, by depriving her first of one pri vilege, and then of another. It' the public Ind taken sip and cherished any mistaken idea that persecution was the object of ail the treat ment she had received, How was the tine fur removing that impression, by laming her in that situation in which it was his opinion, and that of the public generally, that she had st right to be placed. Hr wished to guard against being under stood as wishing to make himself u party to any measure calculated to inflame, or to revive those feelings which prevailed heretofore. Lt taking the course which he was now pursuing, he acted front the conviction that the great body of the people of England looked upon the Queen as the victim of persecution—that they viewed as persecution every step that had been taken to thwart her wishee, or to incommode her feelings—that they would look upon the determination to exclude her Majesty from this last privilege as a coutinuance of the system of persecutions with which she lint hitherto been autioyed ; and therefore lie thought that Mi- Mettle ought toot to persevere its it, but advise his Majesty to place her, as he had Pistil before, in thatisituation in which she ought to appear at it. Her Majesty was the only person of the Royal Family who did not know in what situation she wee to be placed ; she was the only one for whom no preparations had yet been made, no directions given ; she knew not yet what treatment she had to expect; and as it was intended to exclude her from Pity share in the ceremony, it was uncertain whe ther it might not also be intended, if she should present herself es a spectator, to repel her by force end hostility. Ors the ground of expediency, there fore, lie implored! the Molise to consider whefilffr that was not a proper opportunity for its interfe rence, in order to prevent any of those unpleasant consequences to which soy unseasonable display of hostile feeling would be but too likely to give rise. He therefore moved " An humble Address to his Majesty, preying him to issue his Royal Prods minion for the Coronation of her nriesty, whereby in the opinion of the House he would best consult the dignity of his Crown, amid the tranquility of the Metropolis." While the Hon. Member was yet reading his motion, the Deputy Usher of the I3lack Roil ap peared, and summoned the House in the usual form to attend the House of Peers, to hear the Royal Coma:Minot for the prorogation of rerlie ment read. The Speaker accordingly withdrew, followed by several Members. GREAT CHAJIBRRLAMS OFFICE, JULY 11, 1821.

The Privy Council arsembled on Tuesday for the purpose of pronouncing its final judgment upon the Memorial presented to the KING by his Royal Consort, in which her MAJESTY claimed as of right that she should be permitted to share in the lhasour of the coronation. The judgment of the Council was, in substance, that as it appeared to the C it that Queens Consort had never been entitled, as of right, to be crowned at any time, her MAJESTY was not entitled to the claim speci fied in her Memorial. This decision will not, we think, disappoint any one; for it must be presumed that the question had been carefully considered by the Ministers of the Crown before they origi nally advised the KING not to divide the honours of Isis coronation with the QUEEN ; and as the question must have always been viewed with refer ence to the precedents afforded by history, it is not probable that the King's advisers had in their previous inquiry omitted the consideration of any • T or tiseie p i emidtnia rim! in Ole hilie discus sion mbutittad to their judgirent by the Queue's Attorney and Solicitor-General. The point must, therefore, have been seriously investigated and deter mined long before the Queen's Memorial was pre- ffitTed to the TIINO. It is slid thirt Dottie Meniliits of tbk Privy Council, who were not also Members of the Cabinet, entertained sentiments upon this subject favourable to her. MAJESTY'S claim, but that they did not ilia proper to attend when the judgreeirt of the Council was to be formally collected, and that by this means the decision of the Council was caused to lie unanimous. We hope that this state• went is not correct, for it would imply upon the part of these Right Ron. Personages • flagrant dereliction of their most sacred duty to their KING. The first article in the oath of • Privy Counsellor is, that " be will advise the KING according to the best of his cunning and discretion ;" and the seventh, which indeed comprises all the others, is, that " he will observe, keep, and do all that a good and true Counsellor ought to do to his Sove reign Lord." The question wiring out of the Qv EEN's Memorial was one of so much interest to the dignity of the Crown, and perhaps to the perroual feelings of the Kt NG, that it pleased his MAJESTY to causes!! the Members of his Council residetig irk or near the metropolis to be summoned for the pur pose of hearing the matter debated, mud of deciding upon the argument, " according to the best of their cunning and discretion." Should any of these Counsellors so invited hesitute to express their sen timents upon the matter subjected to their opinion, because they posstbly might displease the KI NG, or give umbrage to any of his Ministers or other per sons in authority, they have failed to discharge their duty " as good and true Counsellors ought to do." It did not belong to them to calculate upon the probability of their sentiments being pleasing or otherwise, nor whethsr they might chimer to be eii tettained by the majority or the minority of those who sat with them in judgment ; an honest Coun sellor is bound to give his advice to his Sovereign fearlessly and faithfully when required to do so, as he is likewise commanded by every principle of morality when acting in • judicial capacity to ad minister equal justice between all parties. The Piivy Council with reference to the QuEEN's claim was constituted as a Court of Justice, in which every member, was invested with a judicial character, and they consequently had no more right to decline pronouncing their judgtuents iudividnally upon the case before them, then a Judge in the Court of King's Bench or Common Pleas would have to reserve his opinion upon any point of law which in the ordinary 'practice of the Court may chance to be submitted to the jurisdiction of the Court. A copy of Lord SIDMOUTieS letter to the QUEEN, announcing the decision of the Privy Council in opposition to her MAJESTY'S claim, with the answer of her MAJESTY, demanding a suitable place at the ensuing Coronation, will be found in another part of our Paper. This question respecting the absolute right of Queens Consort to be crowned, must now be considered as it res► for ever, for it ha. been determined by a competent jurisdiction, such too as the Queers herself had chosen for the decision of it. The right of the QUEEN to be crowned, considered as a question of law, is essentially distinct from the question of expediency, with reference either to the wisdom of the QueeN in demanding it, or the propriety of the Milliliters in withholding it. The painful and peculiar situation in which her MA JESTY is unhappily placed, in wanting the affec tions of her Royal Consort, and in being exposed through the remissness, if not with the countenance of the King's Ministers, to the base and unmanly insults of certain writers in the Treasury Journal., who with cruel malignity distort every act of the Quesx's into some purpose of abuse, seems to have left her MAJESTY no alternative between the urging of her solemn claim, and the cer tainty of her hiving the omission imputed to her as an acknowledgment of her unworthiness to psr take of so august a ceremony. Her enemies com- ' - pel her by their persecutions to act in a certain staanuer, and then take advantage of their own con duct to upbraid her with the consequence,. They bunt her into the toils, and reproach the royal victim with attempting to unravel the meshes of her captivity. The QueeN, in our opinion, was not only perfectly justified in urging her claim, but had she suffered the occasion to pass away without pressing it in the most sole►nn and formal manlier, her MAJESTY would have exposed herself to much cemoire. It was a duty she owed to herself, to her successors, and to the people of England, and every thing was done in support of her claim which could be effected by industry, learning, and elo quence. How fur it is proper and expedient in the Ministers of the Crown to disgrace the Queen Consort of tl►eir Sovereign so much as to refuse her an honour never before denied to any Queen Con sort of England, in terms too of marked asperity, amounting even to personal rudeness, we shall not now consider. It is our opinion, seeing the un happy disagreement subsisting between their Ma. jesties, that if the honour had been oftired to the QUEEN, her Majesty ought to have declined it ; but the Ministers of the Crown have uniformly withheld from her MAJESTY every appearance orcuurtesy. and have taken every opportunity, eve►► in Parliament, of accumulating indignities upon her MAJESTY. It was this conduct which compelled her llf.ui•siv to assert a right where she could eapect no/owe:Or. The judgment of the Privy Council pronouoc ld in opposition to the claim, 'hews that her Maass . * is invested with no legal right to share the honou it of the coronation, butt with the Cabinet still freer. , " before the responsibility raising f►om the discre•- tionary power they exercised it: uriginallr exchirdurgi the QUEEN front the projected coronation; acupoi.' them will ulso lie the consequences, whsteve► they may chance to he, of refusing to the prityet of her MAJESTY'' petition those disiinguished lionouis which were never eventually refused to any Queen of England. Parliament was prorogued yesterday by Cim mission. Tile Speech delivered on that occasion hv the LORD CHANCELLOR in the name of his M.A. JESTY will be found iu our Pailiameritary It is one of those ite;, , alive compositions which ton frequently emanate frnut tt, c Cahitirt, on occasion. too wherein it would be desirable that the Ministers should deelioe the exercise t‘f that felicitous inge nuity winch consists in expressing within a given number of periods as little us possible. The Speech compliments the two [louses of Parliament fur the efficacious manner in which they had pro. seemed their laborious duties ; but 11v in fact the two Houses, with no very material exception, adopted very obsequiously the measures of the Government, this compliment in troth reverts to the Cabinet, and the wily praise that falls to the two [louses is that of having duly appreciated the wisdom of his hlajest)'s Ministers. The promise made by the Ministers of effecting some further' reductions in the public expenditure is repeated in the Speed!, The House of Commons sat for a few minutes before the appearance of the Black Rod summoned the SPEAKER to the Upper House. Of these few minutes Mr. HUME took advantage for the purpose of thawing the attention of the House to the situation in which the QUEEN was placed, sod concluded some forcible remaiks by moving an Address to tie KING, Kilying hi, MAJESTY to issue his Royal Proclamation for the Coronation of the Quell'. While he was yet reading his motion the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod entered, and by summoning the House to hear the proroga tion of Parliament read, interrupted all further proceedings. Mr. Hums had given notice of this motion on the preceding evening, yet the SPEARRIL did not think it proper to enter the House until a few minutes before three o'clock, which was the hour appointed by the Commis sioners fur taking their seats on the Woolsack its the Upper House. By this means Mr. Hums's, motion was prevented from being discussed, and the QUEEN was deprived of the advantages which she might have hoped to derive from a full coo. rideration of her pretensions in the House of Coro moos. In a simiiar rapiner was her Majesty's Solicitor... General prevented at the clove of the last Session of Parliament from reeding to tits House a Message from her IkliJcsTw, which he was about to offer to its notice whew hr was inter rupted by the entrance of the Block Rod. If these occurrences were the revolt of coy design or preconcerted arrangement on the part of her MA.. JEJITY's enemies, they betray a feeling very re. mute from that minliners of sentiment and con duct which ought to distinguish those to whom the destinies of empires are intrusted. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday. The Kttso had not left hi• palace at St. Cloud since he received intelligence of the death of BONAPARTE in the forenoon of Friday. The debate upon the projet of the law for continuing the cen sorship of the public press entirely occupies the at tention of the Chamber of Deptaies. An amend— ment has been propcsed, lauding it to three months from the commencement of the next Session. The debate on Friday was interrupted by an allusion to the death of BONAPARTE. M.
