The Cape of Good Hope Bill, the N'lvigation Bill, the Jamaica Trade Bill, and come Private Bills were conimitted. The Earl of DARLINGTON presented a Petition from the Ship-owners of Sitmlerlaad, in the County of Durham, pray ing that no diminution might 1 - ,e allowed in the Duties on th e importation ot Foreiqn Timber from the Baltic.- .Ordered to lie On the table. The Mary sess of LANSDOWN moved for a variety of eons merckl D.icinnents necessary for the inspection of the Select Committee on the Stt.te of Foreign Trade.—Ordered. HER MAJESTY • THE QUEEN. The Earl of LIVRIIPOOL moved the Order of the Day for taking into consiueration his Majesty's Message of yesterday on the above subject. The Royal Commonicat;on was accordingly read. The Noble Earl then immediately moved a cor responding Address to his Mstjesty, thanking kin tor his most gracious Message, and for the im port:..nt communicetions• received therewith ; ant a•Suring his Majesty that the klouse would adopt that course of proceeding which it should deem most toeiistnt with the justice of the case, and the honour and dignity of his Majesty's Crown, Lord Hoeeesits expressed his doubts whether the House could consistently concur in the Mes sage without its being stated what course was memo to be proposed in consequence. The Earl of Ltveneooe referred to the lan etiage of the proposed answer as sufficiently ex pressive of its import. The vote would not go to affect the ulterior course of proceeding which may be proposed. The Address was then voted by the House, and ordered to be presented in the usual way to his Majesty. The Earl of 'Assent's:toe said, he now rose in order to propose the course of proceedings which he wished the House to adopt. He would move for a Secret _Committee, consisting .of 15 Lords, to be constituted by' ballot, for the purpose of examining the papers laid before the House, and to report upon them as they might think fit. This course was most analogous to precedeot, as far as any could'be considered applicable to the present case. It teas also the most eligible, in reference to the delicat•y which might be observed towards the feelings of the Illustrious Persons whom it concerned, and of all others whom it might in volve. The Noble Lord said, that he Would not enter timber into the view which he entertained of the question at present, but would reserve other observations until he saw whether there was any objection in the course which he advised; then he trusted that he would 'he allowed to explain, as far as any misapprehension of his statement made it necessary. It should be kept in mind, that the object of the Sect et Committee was to consider whether any or what measures should he resored to. He wished to guard himself by that expla nation of the dory which it had to perform, from the supposition that any thing further than such preliminary measure was to be the result of the deliberations of the Committee; and he desired to be distinctly understood, as not proposing any line of proceed*, whereby an Exalted Person age was to be deprived of the right of every sub ject, and to he tried without the fullest inviry.— (Hear, hear !)—The present mode of inveviga don did not affect the justice of the case, while it was the most decorous and considerate with re spect to all parties. It any further exposition was necessary, be would most willingly give it. His Lordship then moved the Committee. On the motion being teed by the CRANCP.LLOR, The Marquis of LANSDOWN rose, and said, there was nothing he so entirely der, ed in, as in the %visit for the fullest, fair , 51, and Most peblic in quiry into this important case. He had always thought, that any inquiry into the conduct and character of any of the branches of the R. , y41 Family, especially that of so illustrious an indivi dual as the Queen Consort, should be conducted in that way. But this motion being thus pressed on the Hn.use, he must say a few words on it, attended as it wits by so many extraordina: y cir cumstances; for the Noble Lord bad not made any detailed communication to that House on' he subject, as to the cause of this proceeehag, or the reason for instituting an inquiry at this titne. In this state of perfect ignorance, it would have been satisfactory fur the House to have known what the opinions of tho..e persons who had already interrogated this matter might be. He there fore wished to know how this inquiry into her Majesty's conduct was to be investigated. An in• quiry was to be instituted into her Majesty's con. duet, but under what circumstances ? Wi;11 the knowledge tliey possessed, that the House of Commons had received a similar comnoinica tion on this subject, and was about to in claire into it , be called, on their Lordships to recollect that they composed the Supreme Court of Judicature of the Come ry ; end t hat they wer e the only Court before which that illustrious Individual could be laird. I: was 11/N liii('St that when, by the advice of Ministers, the Crown had submitted such charges, it wilt, impossible to say, whether the other House of Parliament would not found articles of impeach ment on them, which must be judged by their Lordships. Indeed, there was 110 Mall, who Isuew what was contained in that bag, but. must expect that such %%mold he the reNitit. %Visat then would be die consequence ? Good God ! at a moment when they heard every day, and trom every quar ter, the utmost care taken to prevent the possibi lity of Jurymewheing prejtoticed against the pet suns wh o were to be tried by them, were they not to pause before they proceeded in a course which would lead them our of that line of too ceediog whicb ;Lc Cuostitution had allotted to ent. - -- - them ? Btu it might be said that the course re commeuded wary reqeired by the urgency of the ease. As tat as the secrecy of the My, iry went, which every honest man would , vide to be COO. cealed from the •Public, and all tnankinu, he would give his assent to the proposition.---e But it must be' admitted that every publicity Must be given, in'order to enable the Illustrious Person to urge every thing in her defence.— This Committee, however, could nor be a Court of Judicature, nor could she be heard before it In her (Wendt.. How then was this Secret Corn mittee; to be composed of a few Lords, to iu quire into and report, recommending ex i)arte pro ceedings in a case where Noble Lortis who, for a year were acquainted with all relating to it, had not been able to make up their minds 84 to what course of proCeediog they would recruitmentl to the House? It was impossible to seppose that any course of proceeding could be recommended by the few Lords "ho tvere'itecompo-e the CO W - rnittee, better an could bare been advised by the - Noble Lords opposite, who were acquainted with the whole of•t be evidence. At the strewing of the Noble Lord hiniselt the Committee could not in quire farther titan . the Noble L or d s op p os i te,who, having r ea d the whole of the eVirtence, were not still in a situation to recommend any course of proceeding to the House. How then could any number of Peers make up their minds to recoil), mend any course to be adopted ? Besides it was tiecessary,• that that House, being the highest Court of Judicature in the country, should be kept clear of all taint and supposition of preju dice. The Earl of 'Li venpoot regretted that he could not give so fell an explanation as he could wish at present, but he trusted that the time would soon come when be could property do so. He had been accused of !tot having stated grounds lot the ap pointment of this Committee; bit the yely reasons that induced hint to move for a Secret Committee, sealed his mouth upon the present occasion. But the principal objection of the Noble. Marquis was, that the House, being a Coto t of Judicature, should not he prejudiced. He could say, that if there had been evidence to convict her Majesty of High l'reason, it would - not have been proper to lay the cure hi-fore the House of Commons ; but the Law Officers of the Crowit should proceed accord ing to the common practice of the law. Besides, be had to say, that even, (and he put it only on supposition), if her Majesty had committed adul tery with a Poreigoer abroad, she was guilty of no crime known to our laws, because, and lie had it from the 'highest legal Authority, the Act of Edward 111,, made it only High Treason in a Queen or Princess of Wales . . to commit adul tery with a person owing allegiance to the Dint ; .. But was it to he made a case without - any re medy; It woes a case only to he remedied by Le gislativeprorision ; and he therefore thought it was the moscproper way to refer it to a Secret Com mittee, to examiue whether any, and what course should be adopted, on such a tnatter. Upon these grounds it was, in his opinion, the most deco rous, the most proper method, to refer Ibis case to a Secret Committee. The Noble Lord had said, that the Government must have made up its mind to the proper course of proceeding, and should have at once proposed it ; but that observation applied to every case of danger to the country, which came within the cognizance of Govern- This was not a case which came within e power of the ordinary Tribunals, and there re this Was the most proper mode of proceed g• Lord HOLLAND said, that • they knew nothing this being an extra -judicial business ; bur hey knew that the House of Commons had akt'n this" matter into investigation. His ob eetion was, that this course of proceeding would lead to a conclusion highly dissatisfactory to the Public, and disheinourable to that House. Whether the measure to be adopted was to be by a Bill of Divorce or of Pains and Penalties, that might have been done by the Noble Earl by bring ing'rlown the Bill without calling for‘any investi gation. They ought to pause 'before they took any step on a case which the Grand Inquest of the Nation, (the House of Conimoos) was about to investigate. By instituting the proposed Com mittee they expressed an opinion that the matter to be submitted to them could not becom e a mat ter of judicial proceedings. The Noble Lord's law might be very good, but they could not know that the House of Combiors, the great Inquest of the Nation, might; nut dltermine to proceed according to j:idicial 'proceedings. He regrett e d that, with the opihion which the people held of Secret Committees, such a proceed ing should have been colllmeoced. The sound of a Green Bag, and a Secret Committee, occasioned the most jealous feelin g s in the minds of the p, , 0-ple, ple, tor they recollected the many unpopular laws which bad proceeded frorn them. He conjured them not hastily or unnecessarily to adopt a course which would become odious to the people. If there was one point mire necessary than another, ashen they con , idered the Message of the Sove reign, it was chat the most, suhvantial public jus tice should he administered ; and the most dis conteoted of the people Most be convinced that such would he admittistrrol by that Ht. use. For these reasons he protested against the proposed mode of proceeding. The LuliD'CHAnceLLnß had never entered (,h_ on a mot e painful itivestigat he Illustrious ludivUlnal must, on every principle, be suppo su d to be innocent ; but he could nor go to his grave, alter the lice he had led, without asserting the remedy which the meanest man in the kingdom was entitled to in such cases, A Secret Com mittee was iotended to protect innocence. f4et, what were the Grand Juries of the country but Secret CoruniLtees. It the Cuniruittee ported that aj. dicta! proeeedio g should he bad, h e knew how to deal with it ; it, on the corr• teary, it reported that a legislative proceeding should be adopted, then he knew how to deal with that. It was the Inieilege of every subject of this country, whether high ot low, to have an °pea anti public trial; and in this case, if there must be a trial, God forbid it should not be public.-e-: He knew of no proceeding but by Pailianient ; lot be Considered the case with a foreigner, as not under the law of High Treason ; and how could they proceed by an action for damages, or in th'e Spiritual Court. He did, for God's sake, itophoe them to think, that if ,they differed, it was ho. firstly, on the best mode of Biting protecti on to this intlivir.nnl ; sod, in his opinion, this was the best tootle o f givieg her protection, The Marquis of Lausnows; repeated, that it was impossible for the House to assume that the other House of Parliament m'ght not think this matter a subject of impeachment. Ihe Noble and Learned Lad had to his surprise talked of a Grand Juty. Did lie ttogt that the House of commons was the true Grand .fury; and would he have the Petit Jury sit as a Grand Jury on the criminal it might atterwards have JO try it The Earl of Doyoucatamotta said, he could not let this important and momentoos (pest ion. pass without giving his opinion upon it. flowerer, be differed with those with whom he had been in time habit of acting, on this subject ; therefore, he. had reason to distrust bis own judgment. They seemed to think this a pro. reeding which would eliminate and coodemn an Illustrious Person. But this was not even tl:c commencement of a trial, it was the most deli- Cate, decent, and respectful method by which it could be inquired whether any criminatory nit)• ceedings should or should not be placed in a state of trial, They were only called upon to counsel his Majesty, whet her, for the honour of the Crown, any ulterior proceedings were neces sary with respect to the conduct of this Illustrious Individual. Did they not know that the greatest pains had been taken to agitate the public mitad on this subject ? Aud would they, upon what was said in Newspapers, stop a grave Parliameotary investie . atioo, in order to itopire what the public opinion, on this great question, was ? He agreed with the Learned L or d on the Woolsack that the proposed proceeding Was interposing the shield of Committees of both Houses at Parliament before the Illustrious Personage, The Queen Consort of these Realms should be not only free from stain, but from the in4pOtali,ll of blemish, • Lord HOLLAND Was anxious that his opinions ..,;houltl not be misunderstood on this questiott.---. The Noble Lord who last addresst d the House had not spoken to his argument at all. He lacked much of the sensibility to be produced by public irritation ; and it there were any aria, ot which he knew not Wog, used to excite that feverish irritatio n in the public mind, he from his heart abhorred arid deiesttd them. tie thought, however, it Was their duty to allay at. MOCII es they t ould ail that feverith irritability. (hey prejudged thii case, he would not say th e y did HY) iejostice to the individual ; but he thought they v:ottiti get them selves involved in %uvreion, our of which he saw no way. He was tar from thinkihg that no in qairy should be instituted in this case ; but he thought that inquiry should be made by the Grand Inquest of the Nation—the other House of Parliament —and they, who were the supreme Court of Judicature, should not come prejudi c ed to any judgmeot they might be called- upon to decide. He did not think the proposed mode of proceeding more severe, or as severe as many that might be adopted; but he protested against it as unconstitutional. The - Marquis of LAttsnowN was desirous that he should be incladed in the explanation of Lola Holland. The question was then pill end carried.—The House adjourned at Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. At half-past two o'clock the Gallery W 39 open ed for the admission of strangers, when a crowd rushed in and instantly filled it. BOROUGH OF SALTASH. On the motion of Mr. PRENDEtt GASI', who stated that having been elected for two places, Sahash and the town of Galway, he lard accepted the representation at the latter place, a new Writ was ordered to be made out for Saltash. BOROUGHBRIDGE ELECTION. Mr. LEE KELE. brought up the report of the Select Com mittee on the Baroughbridge Election, which stated the de termination of the Committee, that the two sitting Menibeis, Messrs. Lawson and Spooaer, were not duly elected, and that Mr. Mundy and Mr. Dawkins were duly elected for the said ilorough, hut that the opposition to the Petition was nut frivolous or vexatious. On the motion of Mr. CLIIVEN, an account was or' tiered of all coals exported to Ireland, flow January 1819 to January 1820. PUBLIC BUSINESS.
