Mr. Rubins, from the C - 9;totai - Thautme, permuted an strand of all experts to ladle in the last six years. Mr. Finlaytion, from the Admiralty, presenleil asietionents containing a statement of the number of lime-of-bsttle ships sad large frigates it fur sea, building, and under repair. Sir Nicholas Coltherst, Mr. S. Wortley, and tuber Mem bers of the House of Commons, brought up the Cork Har bour Bill, and several Private Bills, which were read a Ant time. The Earl of Domouonvoir par notice, that he would move the peened reading of the Tenement, Samivery Ball (Ireland) 10-morrow. THE QUEEN. Earl GREY moved, that the Order of the Day be read, which being read, the Noble Earl said that he was extremely desirous to relieve their Lord ships from the pain of an unnecessary and distress ing discussion—he should with that view ask the Noble Earl whether any thing had, since their last meeting, occurred, to prevent the meeting of the Secret Committee appointed for to-morrow ? The Earl of Liiitteout. said he had uo diffi molly in answering the Noble Earl', question. He had conceived it a matter of respectful attention both to the House and to the illustrious individual whose case was more immediately before them, to propose yesterday, after the arguments of Counsel at the bar, that in hours should intervene before they would determine the propriety of acceding to her Petition. Ile hail no difficulty in saying, that after the fullest consideration of all the subject, after examining the proceedings now instituted in every possible view, the course originally pro posed was the most fitting that could be adopted, with reference not only to the intetest of the illus. trious individual concerned, but to the demands of justice. As long as any hopes rsonaiord that this investigation could he avoided, it was his desire that the Committee should not meet ; but when those hopes were disappointed, he felt it necessary to .rd. here to the original course of proceeding. IVhers this question Caine properly before the. House, he should then state his reasons for entertaining this opinion. Earl GREY then rose and said, under the pain ful' necessity that resulted from the answer which the Noble Earl had just given to his question, lie felt himself bound to submit a time to the House, fur the purpose of relieving their Lordships from the embarrassments iii which they were in volved from the course of proceeding hitherto pursued. He ought perhaps to apologise to the House for presuming to set up his opinion in con tradiation to their Lordships' vote, cud fur suggest ing to them the propriety of reversing their solemn derision. It may indeed seem to savour of no slight degree of presumption were he to conceive that un der such circumstances he could think of persists& ing them to adopt any other proceeding than that which they had already sanctioned, mid *hick in his mind would be more consistent with propriety and the dignity of their own character. He entertained no such presumptuous notions, and however strong his feeling* may be of the impropriety and its justice of the original course of inutile/ling, yet, after it had received their Lordships' deliberate sanction, he should propose nu alteration in that proceeding. if his proposition were not jus tified by on alteration in the circumstances of the. whole case us it stood at present, from what they appeared %hen their Lordships same to that deci s ion. When first this subject wits submitted to the House, when it was proposed to refer the contents of the green bag to a Secret Committee, va rious objections were urged to such a mode of pro ceeding, but chiefly upon the grounds of injus tice to the party peewee', and that no puce. dent existed to warrant such a mode of conduct. — The Noble Earl (Lord Liverpool) admitted that setts .. . . tied was most analogous to the general proceedings of Parliament. It was admitted, however, that there was no absolute precedent for the present proceedings. He (Lord Grey) not being learned in the law of precedent, 1%41 not aware that any precedent emoted ; but if any could be found—if one or too could be brought from doubtful distant times in support of the proposition, hr Armlet re. quest their Lordships to reject them, rather that) commit themselves with ouch uncertain guides in the intricacies of a proceeding subversive of the principle, of *goal justice. The House were going to examine a care which directly affected the charge. ter and honour (tithe Queen, it) which, however, her Majesty was um to he ischnittid as a party— enabled to oruns-esinitie such aviteiesews as may be brought to support the charges, or to adduce such testimony as she might think encevatery for repel ling them. From so partial an inquiry a Report was to be framed, determining whether any further proceedings ought to be instituted. Her Majesty must of necessity he placed in a situation of coo siderable disedvanrage if she be compelled to labour under the weight of an unfavourable Hellion of the Committee. Such would be the aspect of the case as it affected her Majesty, but it would well become their Lordships to reflect how such• mode of proceeding must affect the character of the House, emanating from the exercise of their judicial functions.—(Heue.)—The charge preferred against the Queen was of a nature that if she were guilty of it, she must he held utterly unworthy of her high rank, her dignity, her life wire at stake, nay more than life, her honour at her character. Upon this grave charge their Lordships might be 1101111• mooed to give judgment, and lie asked them ear. neatly whether it would be right that they should proceed in such ■ matter with the bias which they must receive from the Report of the Committee, or if their own minds were free front such improper in fluence, whether they ',mold suffer reeve the sus• pieion of a bias, and endanger their character by such sit impression 'you public opinion ? It had indeed been said, mid upon high legal au thority in th‘t House, that this matter could not be made the subject of judicial procedure before their Lordship.. But however ,highly he may esteem the legal knowledge or the Noble Lord ou the Woolsack, he ehoold not, as a Peer of Pauli'. maul, standing in his place in that House, surreo. der his judgment to the Learned Lord's opinion.— He should not enter into the legal argument with the Noble and Learned Lord. " God knower," said the Noble Earl, " there is enough to exercise our judgments without entering into that ques tion." But he had collected legal opinions upon this point, to which he was bound also to pay great respect, and indeed he could not think that, if the " violation of the Queen's person," as mentioned in the Act of Edward the Thi , d, implied a consent upon the part of the Queen, as the best writers upon the subject contended, end if the act, when committed in England, be high trea son—he could not think that the subtle dielinc. lion drawn from the circumstance of the crime's having been committed with a foreigner in a foreign country, would protect the Queen from the punishment that should follow so great an offence. This point, however, was not neces sarily connected with his argument, for all that he now wished to maintain was, that if the crime were not absolutely high treason, it could not be pretended that the House of Common', sit ting as the grand inquest of the nation, with powers undefined by law for protecting the public inter. eats, could not proceed against the Queen fur such an offence as • crime committed against the head of the state, and impeach her Majesty at the tribunal of their Lordships' bar. %Vitt) all his respect for the Learned Lord on the Woolsack, lie must say that this respect must in the present instance be weakened, when he saw his great mind occupied about quib bles of law, and unable to perceive the means which belonged to Parliament to punish so great an oft - rime. This ought not to be considered merely as to family dispute, as a cliarge made upon the our hand, to be opposed by recrimination upon the other—/ Lord cries of Hear, hear, front the UppoNitiots Benekesl--but must be treated as a great offence against the head of the state, and to be prosecuted like any other offence against the same authority. Let them then hear veto more of threats, of recrimination. As well might Thistle. wood justify his treason, by sheering that it was di. reeled against an oppressor and a tyrant, as that • perm) charged with such crimes us are now alleged against the Queen, should defend herself by proving misconduct in any other person.—(Hear, hear.) — But, however the House of Commons might pro. teed, their Lordships ought to guard carefully against appearing to prejudge the cause which they might be subsequently required to decide upon its their judicial capacity. This point had, as hr un derstood, been warmly and strongly urged by Isis Noble Friend near him (the Marquis of Lens. down) on the first night; but circumstances had altered materially since that period, and what was then urged merely as theoretical and probable, had since become positive and certain. The Noble Earl then oberved upon the proceedings had in this case in the other House of Parliament, and remarked, that a spirit of opposition appeared in that House to the measures of Ministers, which they tumid it impossible to overcome. Doubts arose there, pauses ensued, negociatimis were com menced, entjueirustientii took place, and when even at length all hope of amicable adjustment failed, • further postponement of the matter was resolved, upon the express principle, as he was given to under stand, of waiting to learn their Lordship" proceed. lugs, lie lied understood that it was there argued by a certain Noble Lord (we presume Lord Castle reagh), emitieut for his knowledge of the Constitu• lion, and for the peculiar clearness sod distinctness with which he usually expressed himself upon any "veil topic, that this adjournment should take oilst! for the purpose of ascertaining whether the House of Lords would neigiicate any judicial 0 meetlisir. It was for that Noble Lord to chew how it would he toresible for the Howie of Lords to orientate jail,- vial proceedings before their own body—(hear)—but such was the expectation ti•ron which tina *Arnim. meet took place, aid if such an expectation were diwippoisoral. that Moister of the Crow!, so II House of Commons declared that to such on era. t he would, of his own responribility, iiroitcte soh e proceeding, which oas, indeed, the course that ought to have been pursued in the firs; i n er snee .— I Hear, hear.)—Ulan the contingency ef their Landslips declining to institute judicial proceed. inv., that Noble Lord declared that he would atilt forth as the Queen's public accuser. Did not this intentions upon the part of a Member of the flnmie of COrnmons spew the probability of their Lard. ships being required to ezercire their judicial (*voice Polio upon this subject-- ( ;fear, &ark-111111 prove how cautiously they ',mold slows, from all preliminary investigation ?, The case di erect i n no respect, whether the Report of the Com mittee were in favour of, or prejudicial to. her Majesty. If it advised that further ;mice's!. imp, acre necessary, it would be prejudicial to the Queen ; if the contrary, it would be prejudicial to her accusers. In either case their Lordships ought to keep their minds perfectly free from all knowledge of the circumstance'sf the ease, for by such means alone could they honestly and conscientiously discharge th.ir judicial tunenons. The altered circumstances of the ease alone ought to demand from their Lordships to rescind • deci sion, which, if upheld, must be inconsistent with the principles of justice, and prejudicial to the pub lic interests ; but if to these altered circumstances were added the general suspicion entertained of Secret Committees by the country at large, their Lordships would see the necessity of revising their opinion. Secret Committees were of late yews too common. and their proceedings were of a stamp so odious as to excite a general prejudice against any case which might originate in such a measure.—(Hear, hear. hear.)--lie should be one of the last men in the House to advise their Lordships to yield to factious clamour, but he trusted it would not be considered a proof of any disposition towards a base and unworthy compliance, if he said, that although the perform. mice of strict justice was their first duty, they were likewise hound to admini s t er th a t justice in a mode lint calculated to excite a suspicion of their motive.. or a jealousy or distrust in their judicial proceedings.— (Hear, hear.)—The Queen of gag. land had lately appeared before theta in a situatiou 'to which no other Qeeen of England had ever been reduced—as a petitioner at their bar for justice. Her Majesty entreated them that tbey might foot her case in a train of immediate adjudication; but that they should not institute a mode of proceed. ing which must of necessity weigh hoary upon her, by putting into circulation for some months a Re port, probably injurious to her character, not upon the responsibility ()flier personal accusers, but with all the influence that belonged to a Committee of that House. He did not appear as the Queen's advocate ; he knew nothing whatever of the merits of the case. nothing of her guilt or innocence. He stood there as a Member of Parliameut, argairig upon a case which was not a party question—(Laid cheers from both sides)—and contending (or the pure and unsuspected administration of public jure lice.

If these feelings were strong now, their strength was likely to be much increased in the present State of the question. He would not say any thing of the offence charged, but their Lordships were bound t o reflect that they stood there in the highest station in the empire, that they boasted a long and gig. rious line of ancestry. were endowed with wealth and honours. and all those particulars which gener ally procured respect. and were calculated, lie hoped, to maintain integrity; they ought, there. fore, to be cautious how they brought those high qualities in question, and endangered their cha racter in public opininn.—(Hear, hear, hear.) — He trusted he should not be deemed guilty of :any wish to say any thing offensive to their Lordship., but he must tell them in perfect candour, that they did not stand high io public estimation as entertaining any desire to oppose themselves its any particular to the Ministers of the Crown. In the House of C.:minims's an opposition was raised to the proposed measures too polecats( let be overcome, and there the proceedings are still suspended; but when the same proposition was submitted to their Lordships. they paused not, they hesitated not, but instantly complied with the Ministers' request. How will such an event appear in the eye of the public ? Will it not be imme diately said, that the House of Commons have some sealer of public justice, which obliged Minis ters to abandon their object ; but the seine propo sition being made to the House of Lords, their Lordships were so entirely under the control of the Ministers, that they were content to forget their characters as judges, and to assume that of public accusers?—(Load cries of Hear, hear, front the Opposition beaebes.)—W ere their Lordships pre. pared to meet the effects of this contrast, and to encounter the suopicion s lie had almost said the execrations, of their fellow-subjects, the contempt of posterity, and of all parts of the world *here a knowledge of the present proceedings could ever arrive ?
