G. Hiatt. a debtor confined in White Crosivinteet Prison, praying for relief It stated that he brought on action for rabic' impri sonment against Sir Nallasincl Cogant, in the former of Cum. moo Ph as, for having committed bon In prisms on a charge of libel before an iudieinieut was proem .1 and a bill blond, and the Judges of the C wa rt o f Commou Pleas held, that hit Nathant . el - Conaut had not done any thin but what lie wall justified in. The Noble Earl stated, that when lie presented this Pennon he had thine ti without a knowledee of the cir cumatauary of the pal tuii!ar case. He hail on a former or canon expressed his opinion, that Slairstrates had not the right to commit to prison in. a charge of hbvi belure a bill was found; he was still of the same iipavon, for whirl, reason he would hereafter glee notice of a motion sin the subject. As the present Petition was c lied in respectful terms, lie thought it his duty to present it, and to move that it should be read and laid on their Lordships table. The LORD Custer mama said, he ruse sot for the purpose of objecting to the Petition behig received, for the Judged or the Court of Common Pleas being of opinion that the Peti tiom r hail no mist. of complaint, was not a reason why Pat /innivnt should not enter into the subject. Lord ERWIN, made a few remarks, but from the noise in the lions, and below the bar, it was itopossible to bear thou.—The Petition was read, and I MI on the: table. THE QUEEN. Lord DAVIE hoped he might be permitted, with. out basing given any previous notice, to present a Petition to their Lordships, which, u bring in his opinion iiroperly expressed, he conceived tt to be his duty to submit to their consuleratiou. Ti., Petition was from her Majesty the Queen. He lamented that this Petition. coming front so illus. nines an individual. dial not tied its way to their Lordship: table through the medium of the highest authority within rho House, but as it was offered to him he felt it to be his duty to present it. He should. when the Petitiou was reail„piopose-such as were required in the Petition. and in which he hoped he should have their Lordships' con currence. l'he Petition complained of the mode of proceeding which their Lordships were about to institute by means of a Secret Committee. cud of the dtfEt•tatirs thrown is her Majesty'liway for pro. curing witnesses necessary for her defence. and further complained of the unfavourable impression which the Report of a Secret Committee was cal culated to produce upon the minds of the people of England. 'rile Noble Lord then commented upon the cs:l consequences which In u-! dove from the secret mode of proceeding against which her Majesty protested. The public ferliog against it was no:minus, and it ors, hilt too manifest that the •ppoisitunruit of the Comitnitee was altogether in the hands of Nliuisters.—(lleor, Aeur.—livired some Members of the Cominittre had already ex pressed their opinion ern the subject which was to be 11116111ittell to their investigation. The pro ceeding by Secret Committee had been likened to that before a Grand Jury ; but what would the public think of a Cisolositter. on which were four Cabinet *sisters. who had already expressed their op • ni JJJJJ the matter ? There were two Rev,. tend Lorils. of high character. who from their situation and profession demanded and obtained the respect of the country. They had eon. currril in advising the king to exelnile her Majesty from sharing the prayers of a pious people. •ud et was iinpiessilile that they could Inure done an hid they sot been impressed with a belief that her Majeaty's cilutluet been of a nature to justify so public • censure. Vet they. too. were. Members of the Secret Com mittee. One of these very lioverend Prelates (the Archbishop of aniterbury) was, us Ise under stood, the responsible vermeil by whole salve the name of the Queen had been excluded from its plaice its the Liturgy. He would not go through the !MOWS of the other Members, 0111), 110 (lOU were all men of unblemished character, bat it so happened that their feelings upon all public questions ;1011a decided inclination to the :Unable rs oft lie Crown, and whose bias was gemrally conceived to be attainst the illustrious but Illiffsfilllllite individual !lee tiseal. He implored their Lordships to consider of the deep interest and aosirty with which the proceed ings in this case were viewed by the public, and that they would fuither consider how for liar Mil. jesty had a claim owns t h e justice winch was due from every Toglish geodesists, not to proceed against any unfortunate individoal *ceases:, with. nut enabling ouch tertian to procure the Illeitrig for establishing• defence. The Petition finally-preyed that her Majesty might be heard by her Counsel at their Lordships' bar. The LORD CII4NCEILL9II expressed much 14f. prise that the Noble Lord atic i ld seem in - his speech to reflect upon his conduct for not having presented the Petition. Ile wished to stood clear upon this point. Ile owed u duty to every subject of the realm, but tie s.wed one still grouter to the Home, mad he could assure the Noble Lord that he had u„ other reason not to prearlil the Petition, than that it would be titter for some other Noble Lord to present it. Ile :18.1 nut three minutes to consider the stature of the Petit ))))) . um) he would now tab that lie was induced to decline offering the Petition Its t Lest nosier , pre fern that it shoo id tall into the hands of smite other ',ensue' ; bccause he did not understand that such was the proper mode of lieu. ceeding. and he should have- wished that the coin. munication had been made to the. Ilause in some other form than by Petition. Ile had been on a former occasion blamed for not presenting a letter to the [louse from the same illustrious individu.l. It was his wish to have submitted it to the House, but on Woking into the Journals he felt that he should not be observing time ft s of time House if he were to Cousent to it. He had no ul►jection whatever to the 'onion if presented ,by • Noble Lord not on 'he 11' oplimck, hot i.e sows obliged to decline presenting it hinoielf. but haying. three minutes to consider of it, trod being desireus to ob serve as mach a in him lay she forms and practice of their Lordships' House. If he erred, it certainly• was not out of any disrespect to the illustrious in thy:dual. Ile could entertnin no personal feelings agelist her, mud he would rather suffer death than infringe upon the great principle of the Coorti. fool, which distinguished accusation from guilt. Earl Geer—Nn one was snore disposed than he was to give the Noble mid Learned Lord on the woolsaek the fullest credit Ger a faithful discharge of his duty, and he was cousiiired shat nothing bat a sense of what he owed to the [loose prevented him from presiessiiiisg the Petition. But making this adintssion, he must differ from the Noble total in imagining that ratting on th e woolsack lie was invested with a peculiar chsracter which disrioe kin:died his ilaties its a Peer of Parliament from those that appertameil to every other Noble Lord in the Moises and it was not competent for the Leartisd Lord, no more than any other Member of the Moto., to &Cline presenting the Petitions 4.1 any of his Majesty's subjects, oho expressing them...els:ea with propriety and respect. either complzined of injury or de. mottled red.ess. Feeling strongly that the doors of that House ought to be throe ii opei, to all Pe. titiouers of whatever rank, lie should say, that had this Petition been offered to him, even though lie had not three minutes to consider of it, he should not, ignorant as thank God he was of the merits of the case, have lierhated a moment to mead it. The LORD CHANCELLOR diAciaiitied liar lug beta influenced by any feeling disresprc.ful to the illus. pious Petitioner, but never having known or such it circumstance before, lie preferred letting the Pe• tition fall into the howls of another persists, lest he might, by presenting it, infringe opou the strict line of his duty. Lord flot.LattD concurred in the view taken of this matter by his Noble Friend (Earl Grey), and oreservtt, that the duties which belonged to the Noble Lord on the wooloack differed in no respect, as a Peer of Parliament, Irmo those of any other Memher. This was a arty important principle, for otherwise it might be conceived. that any Peti tion or measure brought leeward by the Noble and Learned Lord was of more weight than if it came through any other Member, as it might seem to emanate from the organ of the House. All Peers of Parliament are equal, and in that /louse no greater influence belonged to one Member than to another, excepting so fir as a particular impression might chance to be effected by his individual chi. reeler. The Learnt., Lord hail said, that no pre cedetit was to lie tomtit on the Journals. Ile could easily credit this tosertioo, fur the whole proceeding wit. unprecedented in the moods of this country. The Earl of Livraelmt. did not know if it were vete...oats to address the Howie upon the subject, particularly as they were all agreed iii the propriety of receiving the Petition. They agreed to it, not because there W/O; any precedent upon their Jour. mils to sanction it, but because in the absence of all precedent, it was the clear principle that every 'abject, whether high air low, should have access to the House, and the only question now was. whe ther the access in the case of the Queen might not be in • more solemn and dignified man. ever. But as they could 'sot have it under an. other form, they were under the necessity of accepting it in-the present. The Noble Earl coat. tended. that although all Peers in the House were equal in point of t irivileges and duties, yet he could never accede to the doctrine, that • Peer of Pars homing. if offered a Petition. might net exercise j his own discretion upon the propriety of being mode the medium of cousottscatitrat to the House. Ile • instanced the case of a Peer being requested to present a Petition reflecting either upon himself personally, or upon Poole or his friends or relatiour, and could it. lie asked, he imagined. that suck Peer should be under the imperious necessity or being made the channel of inch • cominunicatiou. He also considered the ewe of a confidential Minister of the Crown hying required to present a Peti tion to the House, armoring the conduct of the Administration. Such seemed to 'file the can iss the present instance, and who could censure his Noble Friend, as a confidential adviser of the Crown, if on Elicit u point he should exercise Ins own discretion ?—(lleur, The Marquis of LANSDOWN said, the if the Noble Lord on the ‘Voulcittk had stated that the Petition had been offered to hint, but abut from reasons peculiar to himself he had declined pre seining, it, not one in the (loos e could final fault with the exercise of has discretion. —(l./eur). But the Noble Lord aL.--eltreil that it was nut trom any feeling attaching to I -elf that I.e su timed. hut from circumetauces aporttsi 66 166 g to his official situation in that noose. Upon this point he con ceived the pontion. stated 'by his Noble Friends (Luria Grey and Holland) very proper, for the du ties of all Peers of Parliament acre aleatoric. The situation of the Noble Lord in this 11.flise differed essentially from that of the Speaker in the House o f Conis ton . , who was th e organ of the Flouse.— The Noble Lord sat on the l% uolsack by the com mand of the Crown, as Keeper iii the Seeds, and Ilia duties, as such, were precise; but there were doors whica appertained to him, and which he could not relimplish, 'lamely, the duties of the Peerage. Ile was, us a Peer of Parliament, re quired to 'tett:win dioies common to all. but which w ere . tit th e sam e thine. depetidato upon the sound exercise of his no n dirt:rebate. The Lotto CouNccm.oe again 4lisinvowe4l any personal feeling. on the subject, and expressed his willingness to perform on every occusiou ..ich duties as the House should prescribe to lino. It was ini pobsibie that li e mild feel any thing per:soma!, " and ilium:Omit the whole of this loirsiono.." said the Noble Lord emplwtically a " uu such thing shall influenc e me."

The Petition being read, Lora DACRE rose, and after obsessing that he had not even three minutes to consider of the object of the Petition before he found it necessary to present it to their Lordships, and hail, therefore, no lime to enforce the argu ments contained in it, the Noble Lord moved. The her Majesty'. Counsel be now called in," The motion was immediately put from the Wool. sack and carried, rinnioe dissentients. Counsel were then called. A few minutes elapsedbefure the Learned Gen densest appeared.

Mr. Denman, iitid Mr. iVilltamo appeared, and rd• ••raced to the bar. Mr. Brougham then addressed the House. Ile said he had the honour to attend their Lordships as Counsel for her Majesty the Quiet., utiderstanding the it was their Lordships' pleasure that Counsel should be heard at their bar in her Majesty's behalf. It might be snore consisteut with what ire owed to his illustrious client, it, feeling the Interests that were involved in this proceeding, viol deeply sen sible how feeble were such powers as he possessed so sustain their magnithde—if, under this conviction, he were to entreat their Lordships for • few hours delay, to °loin- the ores-mil preparation ; but he was commanded by his illustrious client to er. counter any personal isiconvessieuce with regard to himself, and run every elk with reference to her self, rather that. throw any obstructor,' in the way of inquiry in whatever way their Lordships might command. ft was more iticumbilit upon him to make this statement to their Lordships, because it was important to the interests of her ALjetny to im press upon their Lordships that the application now made was not fur the purpose of obtainiug delay in the vulgar sense of the word, bni that the Queen desires delay—not for postpouing any investigation commenced, or prosecuted in the or dinary course, nor tit the pronouncing of any judg ment constquelit upon aneb investigation, because her :11;:jesty insist feel that such judgment would be one of honourable acquittal, for she kisows that she is innocent, end that their Lordships are just—h o t the Queen desired a delay, because every principle of law and justice must be set in defisoce if sir Mese refused her prayer. Fier Majesty's conduct was called in questiots—ainwl, so lie had a milt to smote flows the votes of both Houses of „Parlia ment, was wade the %object of investigation. The King's Message, as from Bit same soutte he was enabled to collect. formed the foundation of this proceeding, and wish :t had been ConnOoniessed ur both Houses several papers. which, as his Majesty declared, related to the Queess 4 s conduct whale abroad. What the nature of the testimony was upon which her Majesty's conduct was arraigned— by what means it hell been collected—liow it hail beet, scraped together...rwho had lent themselves es tools 111 striping and arranging t h is feloniously, as it was railed by a figure of speech—.l)y shoal they had been instigated and rewarded for this how and sandalous proi:eeiling, he did snit', pretend to know, but whatever was found ui the bag laid opon the table of both 11,susts was meant and in tended only to impeach the character id Qeern, and to sustain charges of what was floor, or Lively alleged to have beets dune abroad by her 11.1jesiy.

The first shield was, that alt the witnesses produced against the accused would be English, bound by certain' principles of moral obligation, acknowledging the validity of an oath,. awl feelin g that 1111 power on earth w a s capable ti t relieving them from its influence; giving their ! testt. molly in the face of th e i r country , an d iu tar e pre. sence of their friends, neighbours, and acquatut. ance—not foreign( re, who perhaps might feel from circumstances of a religious character that Gotha taken here eftercinel no binding influence upon their consciences (atat! there were many such)—re strained by no principle of moral propriete e and feeling 110 control arising from the presence of per.. toots acquainted with their previous conduct and chsracier. This involved a second safeguard, which was derived from the knowledge of the witnesses. They were known to the Jury, the parties, or the persons present, and the public press would com municate to those nut present their demeanor tint appearance. Their Lordship.

Her Majesty had no power to compel the attendance of her witnei•es, who resid.'d probahly tit different parts of the Conti nen t. who were b oun d to her by no tie but a sense of what was due to justice, who had formed with her perhaps only a casual or pass me acquaintance, who were under no influence tither of her spies or agents, who from laziness or in. difference might hesitate to uuderiake a tedious. dangerous. and expensive journey for one who had no means either of rewarding services or (1' gratifying ambition. Yet they were to be collected against those who were drawn together by force. or fear, or bro. luny, mod who for these V:111006 motives were ready to give utterance to every Malignity and falsehood.
