Hrr pod qualities and amiable character were tamed to her disadvantage. They had heard much of the indecencies attributed to the games mid playa oriforsursl before her Majesty. Upuu this part of the subject he could state ma anecdote upon an authority of some weight, with which anecdote, lashops, the meeting were sot acquainted. They would probably be sorprised to bear that the pious Mr. Nicholas Vansittart, the patron of Bible Societies and Lotteries, who propagated religion abroad sail promoted gambling at home, had been polity of the gram isdeceney of playing at hilly:mates buff with her kl-jcsty, when Princess of Wales—(foughler.)— Indeed, he haul beard that the pretext Lord Charts:liar, sad a Lord Red...dale, had committed a similar crime. —lie did out know whether 14.

It was of such a nature that Lord Lauderdale and other Noble Lords admitted that the case for the prosecution had failed to substantiate say of the charges ; and they rested their prufessiou• of b. lief of her Majwity's guilt moos the alleged p ication and in. consistency of her ow ■ witnesses. Good God ! what an ap pearance must England have exhibited in the eyes of Europe during the late investigation ! %Mile the people of Naples and Portugal were engaged in lung their rights and overthrowing the corruption of ages • while Spain was busied in framing a Constitution fou nded upon the principles of eolightenell policy, and wisely approptint ing the enormous revenues of the church to national purposes, how was Ibis country employed ? Why, the Su pease Council of the N•tion—tbe highest Court of Jolliest. tare—the hereditary Counsellor* of the Crown—the House of Peers, was occupied in inquiriug into the state of lista and tumbled beds—(Hear!)— in ranking up and poring into all the 'caudal which bad bees scraped together by the Milan Commission—(fleor!)—a tribunal whirl, would be detested as long as its composition and character were uuderstuod. Like the luquisitioa of old, its proceedings were conducted in darkness and mystery. One of our poets had furnished a description which world apply to the Com nslssius, its authors and maxiliaries: " Projectors, minks and lawyers, not a few, And priests, and party zealots, numerous baud', With hoine•boru lies, and tales from foreign lauds; Scarce any tale was sooner heard than told, And all wbu told it, added something new, In every ear it spread—on every longue it grew." The effect of this was to drive away her Eoglish attendants, who were necessarily ssiCeeeded by foreigner., whom it was easy to corrupt and seduce; and how greedily the Ministers took advantage of the facility thus afforded for their per pox., was manifest in the employment of Baron Ompteda, of pick-luck notoriety, to obtain possession of her letters. He then alluded to the mom which had bee. lavished it, proteenting the object of the Milan Commission; and trusted that the House of COMMOGII would exact a strict ac count of the way in which it bad been expended. Yet with all the Resistance rendered to the Ministers by that Commis vitro, all the power of Government, and all the influence that money could give, the Ministers found, on every divi thin, that their majority decreased, until at length they were obliged to abandon the Bill altogether. But this was I Wit all—they had not the manliness to meet the reproof that awaited them in the House of Commons, and they ad. wised his Majesty to prorngne Parliament in the must ex traurrltnav and cowardly manner.—(Skonte)—lle tusks] not their feelings upon that day; booted, reviled, disgraced, they slunk away to enjoy the notable triumph of being enabled to insult ihe Queen still further, and to treat her remonstrauces with contempt fur two months longer.— (Greed applamse.)—Was there Ho honest men to he found to tell their Royal Master that the loom& of an limit to royalty was hut too readily followed—that the impulse, once given, the further progress was not so easily checked Did history afford nu solemn awl insportaut warming ?

On Wednesday, pursuant to Requisition, a public meet ing of the Freeholders of this County was held in the County Courts in this City," to take into consideration the measures that have been pursued fur the degradation of the Queen, and the propriety of presenting Petitions to both Houses of Parliament, praying that they will take such 'dep. as will effectually 'prevent the recurrence of pro. eerding• alike unconstitutional in their nature, disvist ing and pernicious in their tendency." The HIGH Stunts, took the Chair • f, w minutes arm twelve o'clock, at which time that part of the Courts In which the meeting was held was crowded to excess, and many persons were excluded fur want of space. Among those who were present we noticed many geothruseo of property and peopeciability, who, from accidental causes, bad nut signed the Requisition; and the miluelous attendance of the principal inhabitants of the County. as well as the rank Laud character of the individosis, who took • prominent past its else procerdings,slamp the meet ing as, perhaps, the moat important ever held in Durham. *Fre Htoti Sweater opened the fussiness.

It was with these feelings that he hail been instrumental ill e4IIIOIE duos, hi. friends and constituents, together, and he hoped their voice would he re.rclikaA throughout the country. It was difficult to enter into the various topics of complaint that might be brought forward against the Minister.; he knew not what point in Ilse condoet of the Administration was most unjust ; fur all their measures appeared to been tee hear the stain's of tyranny.—(Applutpae)—They had seen the Ministers convict her Majesty brforr inquiry by striking her name out of the Liturgy ; and they had seen them offer her a bribe of 50,0010. a year to co.tenue her alleged debaucheries in another country. They knew, moo, Ilia hypueritirai motives by which it was attempted to justify the offer of this premium on They were aware also that her Nl:4,aq bad rejected the proffered bribe.
