Ills motion, in the hope of obviating a further proceeding, and in fact that with. the motion was operative, the inquiry became inevitable.-:-(ffene, hear.)—To soppr.ie that that motion extinguished inquiry, was to make a supposition contrary to the fact, and he was confident that not oi.ly were the words of the Resolution agreed to on Thursday last highly pro per t o themselves, but perfectly consistent with the vow ., w hi c h h e t h oug ht it incumbent upon Parlia ment non to pursue. The Meisters had long felt the delicacy and difficulty cof this question—surli had been their impression long before the nrrival of her Majesty in this country. They had satisfied themselves that they owed a most sacred duty to the Crown and lite country never to bring this discus- MOD belcre Parliament or before soy • public tribe nal, if they could by any possibility neat the neces sity of a public discas.iou of it, with consistency to themselves, nr with a proper sense of duty towards their Sovereign.—(Hear. hear, hear.) — They held indeed, in the words of the Revolution agreed to by the Hoare. that the subject involved " the dignity of thlllifbee, sad the best interests of the people,' sod that the most prudential cau tion ought to mark their cooduct throughout an delicate a subjeet.—(Hetir, Aeir.)—The House would, he trusted, see that Ministers had acted with this caution, and had not stirred the business nut;! her Majesty's arrival left them no other alter native. There was no outlier course. he contend ed, left. when her Majesty in person denmoded to be allowed the exercise of all those privileges, which belonged of right, and also were conceded to her as Queen of these realms, still less could they new see any other course open to them after the refusal of her Majesty to accede to the expressed wish of that House-v.B wish wisely ex pressed, as authority to influence her Majesty's opinion: certainly as good authority at least as that arbitration to which her Majesty avowed her renal nes to submit her whole case.—(llear. hear.)-11e repeated, it was clear no other course now but in ! (miry remained open—aud an inquiry calculated to prosecute the matter so es to attain the fall and rigid ends er justice.—(Hear, hear.) —When he said this , 1w did trust that the House, now that the calamity of further inquiry could nut be warded off—fikar. heerf--acalainity it certainly was, and one most fatal in its consequences, should the chairs be estabrished--one, however, that they l i I had the consolation of knowing was brought on by Co act of theirs.—(Hear, htar.)—Sull he trusted. that in COMMenciag this inclotry they would forget the refusal of the Queen to accede to their recom mendation.—(blear, hear.)—lle hoped that in fol lowing up tins busiures they would resume their ancient character for justice, for dignity, and too- elevation, and that now at least they would stiffer the party to sleep—(Loud cheer)—and divest themselves of every feeling of an angry character. 'sod ef that tone of asperity which, though it did belong to politics, dad not to justice.—(Load ekeers.)--He - earnestly trusted that the dignity of their Omens-tee would mark every step they took io this proceeding. and that their acts throughout would illustrate the feeling which guides'. them, and which could. be knew, be nothing else than an attainos desire to promote the turfs of justice, in that . pure and impartial manner in which they had been invariably prosecuted in this country. The Noble Lord concluded by giving notice. that on The:misty sennight he would submit • specific motion in the House, gruuuded on the Queen's Answer to the Resolution submitted to her Mu. jeoy on the part of that House. If. however, any step eras in the interim taken elsewhere, which it 'mold be more offloa:tie to take up, instead of unginatingl'a distinct ',melanin, he should MI the Fri day submit a proposition founded upon that to the Bar•e.--(llear, hear.) Mr. Baal/Guam then rose, and spoke nest , !y as Jailors entirely concur in one recommenda tion which has bees seriously and solemnly urged b y the Noble Lord, and also, from the bottom of my 'lran. in his strong appeal in winch he has implored us. ato all sides ut the House (stud tits Aiikul must surely have weight), from this hour and heiseetorth throughout this wow saavitable investi gation, t.. starer tlw voiced patty to sleep—to let !IL political prejorlice, of whatever kiwi. iufluenee cur jodgmruts—to allow, as it were; roo shadow to was. iso to our path towards the attunimeet of pare :sad substantial jinitisae in this delicate and difficult C4kC.-111:keers.)—On the part of the Queen, 1, as ..he of her legal advisers, have to express let Majesty's infinite satisfaction at this appeal made ti t the Noble Loral, and at his promise of a speci fic motion for judicial inquiry. His opinion of tlw necessity of that inquiry, after what has passed, is only the reflected shadow of her Majesty's own emotion of that uecessity. after the proceedings 'itch have wow taken place.—t Hear, hear.)—Her Majesty now rejoices that she has at length a i chases of obtaining justice—that there is limy an end to a system of nark, inquisitorial, unjust, and, .1 will ray, illegal proceedings so loin, carried ou against her—(icar, hear)—that there is au end tu the steps contemplated by Ministers upon their Ing, ant to the IletP:t course which was inteeded to built on that foundation, and instituted against the illustrious Princess who had been the object of so mucus indirect aoo iuslt1011.—(1/eur)--1 have Wit to wank the Noble Lord fur her Majesty's 1 , 3'44; •his opportunity of vindicating her character ; brit •t is hi the Parliament of the coutitry I owe. the nbligation. whatever it be—to Mt MCC alone. -WI 1 may say almost emaitiosouvly expressed, ant 1 tottebitti for the ...ircumstattee that that inquiry by 'tie gre e n beg is not now to take place in the :arni .n which it phrased his Alsjests'a Ministers 5 0 teitriolosee it.— ( Hear, hear, hear.) —Greatly 46 herr often admired the Noble Lord's ivlehts o. debate, I (sever till V.lligist was aware t/I iiie great talent of his vitality, subtlety, and tut at now, according to the Noble Lord, .iopeets that re are not to go into this inquiry in ' he "'dr Peat first recommended—not because the hiag's Message called our impeitously trio question—not in consequence of the pro. verstings already had its Parliament—nu, not even the. 11;g11 purposes °finance. our in compliatiee atilt the •nctistes of any overruling state of Heim. sat! —isso, iwt for all these, but simply foe this 4Pgie airs: soi , paraosouto ressoost, because hot Saturday her Majesty Perpitsted that her appeal fur justice should not be disiegsrded.•—( Loud rAters.)—And whet did her Majesty assert list Saturday which seems to have had such a sadden and powerful in fluence upon the Noble Lord's judgment ?

IVhy then did the Noble Lord, a fortnight ago and more, agree to an open inquiry ? This Message came down from the Queen on the 7th of June, in which she defied her secret accusers, and challenged and courted, nay even entreated, full and Fair investiga tion. At that time the Noble Lord evaded her defiance, refused her challenge, denied her demand, and would not listen to her entreaty.—(Hear, hear.)—Something, however, had since passed which had soothed his Lordship's temper, end made him more compliant.—(Hear.)—At that time the Noble Lord could approach the minter with more deter mination and less gravity; he did not then talk of the necessity in so grave a cast as the accusa tion of a Queen, of laying a prima facie case. A subject could not, then, put his Queen on trial without the preparatory aid of a Secret Committee— aye, of at Committee, the whole constitution and inquiry of which by the means of a green bag, in the manner proposed, was a violation in form, in substance, and in letter, of justice and of law.— (Hear. hear.)—All that part ot the frame of the inquiry is nose altered. because the Qfteen has asked for a full, and fair, lutd publig *Si*: and the Noble Lord, in his gallantry —(Altesilt not refuse her desire. As 1 have already remarked, the Noble Lord has shewn greater dexterity than 1 ever saw him use on any former occasion, in shift. lug his ground to accommodate hiniself to the new situation in whirls Parliament has placed this ques tion.—(!leaf, hear.)—The Queen demands a pub lic inquiry, she can have no other; she always courts that, she waists nothing else—(Hear.)—On that she was fearlessly prepared to stand or hill.— (Heers.)—Fiff my part. I have had no communi cation with the Noble Lord during this business, except the interchange in the whole of about three sentences, winch had nothing in them of a cotifiden. tial nature at either side. 1 am therefore now to csteh at the Noble Lord's meaning lima what I can collect of his speech. I understand he contemplates a specific motion on Thursday or Friday sennight ; host that, at present, as it is contingent upon proceed ings clseabere, it must in its nature be as yet iu some degree vague and indefinite. He says, indeed. that her Majesty is the first Princess of the House of Brunsw►ck who ever turned a deaf ear to the advice of Parliament, solemnly and specifically expressed by so large a number as 39; of its members.— He might have added 100 more to his numbers.— he might have said the voice of nearly 500, for to that number do I believe the concurrence went in the recommendation to her Majesty, though of them many disapproved of the omission of the Queen's name its the Liturgy. But what said the memor able liesolutiou of this House upon the inquiry called for by the. King's Ministers ? it said that this inquiry would he •• disappointing to the hopes of Parliament, derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the empire."— (Cries of Hear. hear. hear.) —Was this wtyvig that the alternative was the inquiry pro posed, or was it nut plainly implying that such an inquire would not be tolerated by Parliament.— The Queen, however. does not object to a fair and bill inquiry, nor can I. as her legal adviser, in any manner start any thing which can be construed into any pleb objection. But I wish to recoil the [louse to the plan common sense of the Resolution it has already passed. We have said in plain terms, that this inquiry, whether it be necessary or whether it he needless, is out now to take place. This we have said by a large majority, in a meeting of almost unexampled isuinbers, and intimated that the consequences of such an inquiry must be inju rious to the best interests of the country ; so that we ought, before we go on any further, to consider the situation in which we are placed. First Manis tee come down unit propose an iiiquiry by a Se cret Committee they will have no other. The next day they come down, and think there is no better way of getting rid of this inquiry than by saying it is fraught with every thing derogatory. to our best interests. The Noble Lord may call all this consistent. Whether the House is prepared to sae mat the necessity of inquiry exists notwith standing whet has occurred, is another question. All we know of that necessity arises out of the im putation cast upon the Queen, that it is her fault if inquiry hallows—for sloe came to England, after 31111141er, toll' her not to come, mid by so disobey. hug induced the painful necessity of the proceed ings now on the eve of being instituted against leer. Her arrival in this country then is what has brought down a►h this investigatiou upon her Majesty's head, and it is Isecanse she lasso arrived. contrary to the de sire of bas Majesty's Ministerr, that they are about to institute an inquiry against her, which the House bas already said. •• is derogatory from the dignity of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the einiare."—(Hear, hoer.)—This was a question mot for the Queen to consider, nor for me as her legal adviser to stop tit. but for the House to reflect upon in the situation in which it had placed itself.—(Hear. hear. hear.) —W hether tier Majesty's rejection of the recommendation of this House was the course brat calculated to secure fur her our 'trisect and confidence, I shall not now stop to di s ease—whether that rejection was "rise or nitwit', I am Srot-to'dereittiitte. But I am bound so my conscience to state to the Hotta what Ism now about to mention, and which I do with a so lemn assurance; and 1 make it not for theexculp•tion of the Queen, *here it is not the iubject of aitack, or to shake of upon other shoulders that 'mono.. Vilify which her Majesty's legal advisers would pre fer to bear theruseltei taut I repeat 'I am bound to mention what I 'am about to slate, for the sake of the character and honour of the Queen. Before her Majesty was laid au accurate view of the souls lion in which her case stood in Parliament. toge ther with the whole of the proceedings that had been taken upon it; together with this, the Queen was put in possession of every particsilar respecting the late neg.ociation, ait the note io which her case stood diet'. as compared. with its preceding station; and oboe all, the Queen was fully im pressed with the state in which her ease Would stand in the event of her refusal of the recommendation of Parliament. Every fact coonected with surly as state, even entering into the most minute detail, was submitted to her Majesty. and the most perfect conviction was established upon her mind. that a re- Noll of the suggestion of Parliament must Mesita. bly lead to is full investigation.—(Hear, hear.) — With all those facts. then, before her. and most fully brought under her calmest consideration, she unhesitatingly and firmly, and at once, chose her own course, and did it with that fearless, and ingenuous confidence, which in the history of the springs of human action nothing but the full consciousness of innocence ever did or ever can in spire—she did, I solemnly declere, of herself coo. fidently and steadily resolve to abide all the con sequences that could by possibility front that refusal which is now recorded.—(lfear.) I will first ask of the House, and I know I am ad dressing Gentlemen of honour, not to judge harshly of her Majesty's refusal to listen to their advice.— ( . Loud cries of War: in tokicA Lord Crinlereagh was eery audible.)—She may be, as the Noble Lord but said, the first member of the family of Brunswick who has ever refused 'to listen to the ' serious, and, as lie says, wisely-directed voice of Parliament ; hut let us also recollect that she is the first Member of the HOuse of Brunswick, that she is the first Queen of England, aye, the first Qoeen in Christendom, who has ever been placed in this most painful and most pectiliar situation....-(llear.) —Parliament has often appniirohert Kings and Queens of this realm with congratulatory Ad dressee. often too with Addresses not altogether complimentsry, but requiring the dismissal o f some Royal favourite ; but this is the lint time in our Annals the sacrjfice of privide feeling called for involved altogether u full - sense of personal character. If the Queen felt that her acceptance of the recommendation of this House involved upon her part this sacrifice, so feeling she had • right to abide by the dictates of her own breast.--(Hear)-- How could she lie called upini to give up her sense of honour ?—(and if she felt her acceptance o f th e recommendation, though not meant by the (loose as such, did imply such a surrender, I again say she hail a right to judge for herself in n quest ;on altogether of feeliug)—how, I w.v. could she be called upon to give up that sense of honour, which men even in their transactions in life will not, tinder certain circumstances, suffer to be made matter even of negociation ?—(Heaso hear.)—if then we would, in our individual situations, stand upon such punctilios. how much greater onght to be the allow ance we should make to a female, who Us every view of comparative situation. stood so mach more in need of upholding the character and dignity of her sex and station ?—(Hear,itear.)—Shefelt she could not make this concession without a sacrifice of feeling. which her Pew of character and honour forbade—( Hear, lreorl—vand the House will, I am sure, appreciate that feeling on the part of the Queen.—(Htar, hear.f—Av to the course which the Noble Lord shall recommend on Thursday of Friday se'nnight. to me, as one of the legal ad visers of the Queen, it is matter of indifference whether the proceeding shall be by Bill or other wise; whether the evidence shall he taken from the papers on the table, or from the months of half a dozen witnesses. Whet I wish, however, at this moment to impress upon the attention of this (louse is, that if the pi riceeilino to be instituted a fortnight hence be then commenced, and that it be an open proceeding, or even u close one, which I think will be so nitwit the worse, an ex-parte statement must go forth througlt the ordinary and extraordinary channels of intel ligence, traaccompanied by the facts end expla. nations of the defence, which, cannot fail to be highly injurious to the party on trial. I know it may be said, that if the logo ry he sit lino pre liminary. and the opening facts of the prosecution intrusted to a Committee of twenty-one Gentlemen here. and 15 elsewhere, there can he no fear of pre judicial disclosures pending the inquiry. Now, without me: g to cast the slightest blemish upon the integrity of any one of these Gentlemen, I hope I may be permitted to say, that die best step to secure secrecy to any proceeding, is not for 15 Gentlemen in one place to call upon 21 Gen tlemen iu another to assist them in keeping it.—( Laughter, and cries o/'" I !ear, hear." ) There is an old maxim which has generally received credence. namely, that the more you intrust with your secret, the less will keep it. lint even without looking at the matter in the view of its possible liability to any prejudicial disclosure, I will ask any Gentleman who hears me, how lie should like to have statements affecting the character of his wife, or any other female in his family. intrusted for a mouth or two to six-and-thirty Gentlemen (how ever respectably). before that wile or that female could hive an opportunity of vindicating lire cha racter and establishing her innocence?—(Hear.) — It was morally impossible that all this time the case should be kept in impenetrable seeresy ; it should he recollected that tit all probability the six-ando thirty gentlemen hail wives and daughters of their own, and it was morally impossible to prevent some little drop of the secret from leaking out through some one of the numerous orifices—(Laughter,)— that were open for its liability to escape-1 mean those peculiar orifices always open for time egress of secrets—the months of the parties possessing such eoulidrntial depositr.—(Hear, hear.) — If the M. spiry be an open one. the case kr the prosecution, it originated before the Detention's case and wit. news can he entered into by Counsel, will go forth to the world with more or less accuracy, and the venom of it will assuredly be disseminated.—. (Hew. hear.)—Let the /louse then ligure to itself the filatoio inevitable ruin of character which such au ,r:-prate publicity must induce—all chance of fair trial is thus virtually abolished, if three mouths are to elapse between the promulgation of the charges awl the hearing of the defence. You will see then, that what I recommend, in *hewing the necmaity of bringing the defence,, in peon of time, nearer the hour of charge, will not upon the whole delay one hour the ultimate decision orParlianient. I claim for the Queen this arrangement of the proceedings in her case, because it is the uhriour one which is calculated to attain the ends of sub stential justice, and to secure the pirty on trial the jolt advantage of an unprejudiced defence.— fllear.)--Let the two points of the inquiry come closer, and then all is dour that is wanted. The Queen will necessarily Ire put in possession of tbe specific charge, arid the names of the witnesses who are to enppovt it. She will have then to instruct her Counsel, 'pot them in possession of the facts winch her witnesses can establish.

Colonel PALSIFR rose, but the noise made by Members retiring from the House at this period of the evening rendered his opening observations in audible, He said, that if he thought the'interesis of the Crown and the country required this inqui ry, he should be the Orst *to go into it; but as he, on the, contrary, thought that such an inqisify,:ao far from being beneficial, would be " &maim from the dignity of the Croon, and injuring' to the best interests of the empire," he should object to its being entered upon by Cie House. %Vali respect to the omission of the .

Mr. WESTERN said, lie took this Opportunity of enteriii; his protest against the motion of the Noble Lord, and would briefly state his reasons why he could not concur with hint in the proceeding now proposed. Principally lie could not aver. because the effect would be indirectly to pleil4e the. House to on inquiry, against which the sense of the whole country, and the %ruse of the House itself, also wits expressed on the first night of the debate upon it. The Noble Lord hail, in adverting to the pro ceeding to he instituted, mated it, on the one hand, us a crimtaal inquiry, and at the ' , ante time had described it as capable of amicable adjust. merit and compromise.

He had hoped that the resolutions of that (louse presented to her Majesty might have been acquiesced in by her, hut it was a point on which of course her Majesty must herself decide. At present the motion of ed. journment assumed quite a new aspect, and did, in his opinion, give an apparent approbation of that Committee which the Noble Lord hail cod ed upon them to appoint; but be entreated the House not to mix itself up, or become a party In any proceedings adopted, or to be adopted in an other place.
