It certainly might be received as an Address. But as a Pro test, he was apprehensive that it could not be received by the House. Lord DAcaE was aware of the difficulty which had been just stated by the Noble and Learned Lord, but trusted that their Lordships would not press upon her Majesty the necessity of ap pearing personally for the purpose of presenting a Protest to the House. If this course was in sisted on, he confessed that he entertained but little hope of the result, when he considered how imperfectly her Majesty would be able to address their Lordships, in a language not familiar to her, and which gave her little or rather no prospect of succeeding in such a case. He hoped that her Majesty's rank and situation would so far influence their Lordships at this period, as to induce them to receive her sentiments in some other form. If, indeed, it could be received as an Address, rather than a Protest, he had no ob jection to offer it under that form. , The Earl of LIVERPOOL said, that he had no desire to resist the reception of the Protest, if offered to their Lordships in another form. He thought the most proper mode, that if the paper was received by the House, it 'should be entered on their Lordships' Journals that it had been re ceived as an address only, and as containing what her Majesty would have offered to the House if she had been personally there. The Loan CHANCELLOR said, that he should not have discharged his duty, if he had not given due notice to the House that her Majesty's Pro test could not be received as such. He wished to make no observations on the contents of the paper that was now tendered by the Noble Lord, but he certainly was at a loss to know on what principle the writer had felt authorised to make observations on what had passed at their Bar, the conduct of the House in general, and also that of individual Peers. But if their Lordships chose to receive it as an Address, he left it entire ly to them, and they were at liberty to take it. The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose, and said he was of opinion, that the Paper might be received as the Address of her Majesty, but nothing ought to be added to it. He wished also to say a few words on the contents of the Paper then offered tolthe House. He found that it was stated therein, that certain of their Lordships had come into that House from the Secret Committee with their minds biassed by a mass of slanders which the Queen's enemies had not dared to produce. He had been on that Committee, but he did net know how her Majesty knew the circum stance that the Secret Committee had not produc ed all the contents of the Documents which had been inspected by them ; but, he would ask their Lordships, for what purpose was this charge shewn in the Protest ? Clearly, and indubitably, for no other purpose, than falsely and scandal ously to vilify the characters of those Noble Lords who composed the Committee. Though, as he mentioned just now, he had sat on that Committee, he would declare, that he had given his opinion on the evidence, which was after wards heard at their Lordships' Bar; and was it to be suffered that himself or any other. Noble Lord were to be slandered fOr giving their opinions so formed ? With all the respect that he really felt for a woman of exalted rank, and in such circumstance; as her Majesty then stood, he must be permitted to say, without the slightest wish to offend her feelings, that there were things in that Address or Pro test, which he must have neglected his, duty, if he had not objected to them. If even her Majesty had been present in the House at this time, he should have felt it his duty to have risen and repelled so calumnious and unfounded a charge. He hoped, at any rate, that their Lord ships would not allow such charges to go down uncontradicted to posterity. The Duke of I\TEwcAsTLE, in explanation of what passed on a former day, said that, trusting to the integrity of their Lordships, he would fearlessly do his duty in that House without re gard to aspersion of any kind, either there or elsewhere. Lord SOMERS said, that it was not his inten tion to have troubled the House with observa tions, had he not thought that one part of the Address which her Majesty had caused to be laid before them applied to him. Owing, as their Lordships knew, to a severe indisposition which confined him to his bed, he was unable to attend to some part of their proceedings. He hoped the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack would do him the justice to believe that nothing but disability would have prevented his atten dance there. M had moreover paid great atten tion to every other part of the evidence, for he happened to be seated near the Bar, and beard every thing that passed there ; and he had since not only read, but digested the whole of the case, with all the carefulness and lodgment it required. But here it would be recollected by their Lord ships, that it was stated, at the commencement of these proceedings, that in case of the casual absence of Noble Lords, the Minutes being printed day after day, there would be an oppor tunity for knowing with correctness what had passed in the House ; and it was understood that Noble Lords would be allowed to be occasionally absent, if it was necessary for them to omit to come down. With respect to the question still before the House, he must declare that, in his opinion, there 'never was a subject in which he was more firmly and more con scientiously convinced than in the present case— and he was sorry to say, for he must say it, that he believed the Illustrious Person to be guilty of the charges laid to her. He would assure their Lordships that he lamented this convic tion as deeply as any of their Lordships, but he was called on to do his duty, and he had discharged it with the most decided conviction. He should be sorry to offer his reasons for re fusing the Address, but it charged him, among others, with not attending to the whole of the evi dence at the Bar ;he wished to go into it.— (Cries of Order, order !) The LORD CHANCELLOR here observed, that the Noble Lod was not strictly in order in the present stage of the Bill. Earl GREY wished to call the attention of their Lordships to what the question now before them practically was. The subject in discussion was the propriety of receiving the Paper which had been tendered in behalf of the Queen, and how it was to be received in this stage of the proceedings ; then he imagined that no Noble Lord could be allowed to discuss the evidence on the Bill. The Earl of LAUDERDALE was nearly of the same opinion as the last Noble Earl, who ex plained in a few words. The Duke of ATHOL, as far as we could learn, said he thought that it would be im proper to go into the discussion of the evidence at any length, -but that the Noble Lord should be allowed to explain, on account of the peculiar circumstances iri which he stood. Lord SOMERS then explained, or rather, in def ference to the opinion of the House, he declined to proceed* • Lord SNEFFIELD, in a very low tone, almost inaudible, rose to explain the occasion of his hav ing been absent from the House, but it was iun possible to collect what his Lordship said. (We left the Earl of CAELNARVON on his legs.) THE QUEEN'S PROTEST. The following is given as a correct Copy of TILE QUEEN'S PROTEST : " The QUEEN has learnt the decision of the Lords upon the Bill now before them. In the face of Parliament, of her Family, and of her Country, she does solemnly protest against it. Those who avowed themselves her Pro secutors have presumed to sit in judgment upon the Question between the QUEEN and themselves. Peers have given their voices against her, who had heard the whole evidence for the charge, and absented themselves during her defence. Others have come to the discussion from the Secret Committee with minds biassed by a mass of slander, which her enemies have not dared to bring forward in the light. " The Quzzx does not avail herself of her right to appear before the Committee ; for to her the details of the measure must be a matter of indifference ; and, unless the course of these un exampled proCeedincrs should bring the Bill be fore the other branch of the Legislature, she will make no reference whatever to the treatment ex perienced by her during the last 25 years. c‘ She now most deliberately, and before God, asserts that she is wholly innocent of the crime laid to her charge ; and she awaits, with unabat ed confidence, the final result of this unparalleled investigation." After a long, patient, and solemn investigation of the Charges against THE QUEEN, a Majority of the House of Lords has decided in favour of the Second Reading of the Bill. It would ill be come us to offer any opinions, pro or con, on this important but lamentable subject. We have in serted a corrected List of the Lords who vofed on both sides of the Question, and shall leave the people at large to weigh the evidence, and to es timate the characters of the respective Voters. But as our Competitors have obligingly favoured the public with their sentiments on the subject, in order to direct the judgment of the nation, we shall content ourselves at present with referring to our Extracts from the LONDON JOURNALS of this Day. TIER MAJESTY attended the House of Lords this day ; and went by the way of Charing Cross. SECOND EDITION• SUN-OFFICE, Half-past Four, HOUSE OF LORDS, Nov. 7. After receiving THE QUEEN'S Protest with some objections, stated in the form of a Resolu. Lion, respecting the language of it, the House resolved itself into a Committee on the Bill. Some verbal Amendments were made on the Motion of the Earl of LrvErtroor, in the preamble of the Bill, and the House then proceeded to the discushion of the Divorce clause. This clause was opposed amongst other Lords, by the Archbishop of YORK, the Bishop of CHESTER, the Earl of HARROWBY, and the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and supported by the Archbishop of CANTERBURY and the LORD CIIANCELLOII. When the last mentioned Noble Lord had finish. ed speaking, the question was put upon the Clause, and the House 'were about to divide, when some Noble •Lords wishing for 4 further discussion, it was agreed to report progress, and sit again at Ten o'Clock to-morrow morning Adjourned. THE QUEEN returned a little after two o'clock, HER MAJESTY had a conference with her Coun4 sel in his private apartment, but did not enter the! -= llouie. FRENCH PAPERS.
