THURSDAY, JULY 6, 1820. LONDON JOURNALS, (DAILY Ea TItiCTS.] FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Post.] DIVORCE :OF •THE QUEEN. The Bill founded otv the Report of the Lords' Committee was last night brought in by the Earl of Liverpool. It is of that stature which the Report demanded, and, it will rejoice every well regulated mind to observe, just, without being vindictive. Founded on a preamble, which must be proved (or there is no foundation fur any deprivation of rights and honours), the measure goes not ono step farther than abso lute necessity requires, as the result and consequence of its. truth. For no one will deny that if adultery has been com mitted, the trait penally,that could attach to the crime must be degradation from the rank of Queen, and the forfeiture of all the rights and immunities of that exal:cd condition. There is no threat of punishment, no angry passion sought to be gratified. The Bill simply says, you are accused of having brought shame and disgrace upon the British Crown —the facts being established, your sentence is divorce from that ftegal State which you have abused, and depriva tion of those privileges of which you have shown yourself to be umworthy. it will be seen from our Report, that this Bill was read a first time, and appointed formally fur a second reading on Monday; but this is merely to say that the second reading will be fixed on Monday. In the meantime, copies will be sent to the Accused and to her Counsel, and the latter will this (lay be heard at the Bar upon the Petition prevented yesterday from the Queen. It asserts that her Majesty has some important facts to.state, even in this early , stage of the proceeding : we shall be glad to find that they are really what they are described to be. lhe future course will, we have reason to beliee, be what we mentioned yesterday. It does not however seem clear when the proof in support of the Preamble to the Bill will be taken, whether before or after the adjournment. tended probably to counteract any prtljudice which the crinii natury report of the Secret Committee might prucluee. [British Press.] A Petition was presented by Lord Holland yesterday even ing to the Huuse of Lords, which, alluding to the judicial proceedings 'against her Majesty, and the'probablc necessity of her causing foreigners to come into England as wit nesses for her exculpation, prayed the House not to pa s s the Alien Bill, as the Ministeis of the Crown would there by have the power of preventing the Queen's witnesses from coming into this country, and of exposing them while here to many personal inconveniences. This point is certainly well deserving of the attention of Parliament, and even should it be thought expedient to pass the Alien Bill as a general measure, a clause might be introduced en abling-the Queen to afford personal protection •to all fo-' reighers during the continuance of her trial, who might come to England as witnesses on her Nl'ajeity's' 'behalf. There are indeed certain rumours afloat which enjoy very general cre dence, that hut very few witnesses will be required by her Majesty to sheer the laughable absurdity of the principal charge against her, namely, the adulterous intercourse with j Bergami. [Morning Chronicle.] Our readers will see, that the Bill introduced into the Houseof Lords, of which we give a literal copy, extends not only to the degradation of her Majesty from the style, tale, and prerogatives of Queen Consort, but to a Divorce e vinculo mearisnonii. And the Lords are to be the Prosecutors, Judges and Legislators in the cause ! Previous, however, to the introduction of this Bill, some discussion took place on a Petition presented by Lord Dam: from her Majes ty, stating that she bad been informed of the Charges made against her, by the ltport of the Secret Commit:. tee of the House of ',olds, and praying to be heard by Counsel, her Majesty having weighty matters to urge which might have a considerable intiacace with tegard to her future defence. The prayer of this Petition was rejected, on the ground that tht re was no measure against her Majesty before the House, -am! therefore her Counsel could not be allowed to be heard. The Bill, however, having been brought this objection no longer applies; and as it is understoOJ that a similar Petition front her Majesty will be presented to night, the prayer of that Petition will, no doubt, be granted. What the weighty matters are we have not heard. It was stated yesterday by souse of our contemporaries, that her Ma jesty could not permit the-Report of the Secret Committee to remain uncontradicted until it had gathered strength by time, and intended to demand that her trial may be proceeded in 'immediately. The Petition presented last night will not, however, warrant this inference, though such may be thc ob ject of what shall be urged by her Majesty's Counsel.--Oor readers will see from the preamble of the ,Bill, that it is grounded principally on the charge of adulterous intercourse with Perganti or Bet garni. lf, therefore, the adulterous in tercourse with this individual is not proved, the Bill will of course fall to the ground. Rumour, however, says, that with respect to this particular charge her Majesty is provided with an unanswerable defence. [Morning Herald.] Last night Lord Liverpool brought in his Bill. It is a Bill of degradation and divorce—a fearful formula of puni,hmcnt for a woman and a Queen to encounter—over which we sin. cerrly hope she may obtain the only legitimate triumph--the triumph of established innocence. It is founded chiefly upon one, but that one, a hideous act of alleged criminality, rezited in the preamble..." a scandalous," " licentious," and " adulterous" intercourse with Bartohrmeo Bergamo, a fo reigner " of low station, whom she had taken into her ser vice in 1814 at Milan." This, the mein accusation, is gar nished with minor circuatstanees of alleged disgrace •fol conduct relative to this foreigner—such as promot ing him to high rank in her household, indulging in " indecent and offensive familiarities" with hint in " Wilk:" and " private" and " in various places"—con ferring .upon him an order of knighthood, which " she pre tended to institute without his Majesty's authority"—receiv ing several of his relatives into her service, and lastly, mani festing " a most scandalous,"" disgraceful," and " vicious" conduct towards the said Bergamo. Upon the issue of this great trial, the fortunes, the honour, and all but the lives of the adverse parties, via. of the Queen and the present Ministers, may be said to depend. The Queen certainly meets the investigation with unshaken and unshrinking nerve. Lord Were presented a petition from her Majesty to this House of Lords, requesting that she should be heard forthwith by her Counsel at the Bar, its order to defend herself against the allegations contained in the Report, to state weighty matters touching the same, and material to the conduct of her future defence. The Pe tition further stated that the Queen wits now ready to enter upon her defence, so far as she was acquainted with the charges against her. It was however rejected, an the ground that her Majesty had no regular knowledge of the matter to which she alluded, in the present stage of the proceeding Lord Liverpool, however stated, that the Bill upon bring read a first time, should he communicated to her Majesty's law advisers, and that Counsel on her behalf might be heard this evening. Thus the matter stands for the present. The state ment to be made by the Queeu's Coutiscl at the bar, is in- [New Tirnes.J The Bill, founded on the Report of the Secret Cotnraittce, has been brought into the House of Lords; and it is of a nature which no ingenuous mind can contemplate without pain. Who, that feels foe the honour of the House of Bruns wick, can help lamenting that a Princess of that illustrious line should for a moment be thought deserving of the degra dation which this Bill contemplates? The preamble alleges a disgraceful, licentious, and adulterous intercourse between the Queen and one Bergamo, formerly a menial ser vant; and it proceeds, as a necessary consequence, to enact, that her Majesty shall be deprived of her regal station and title, and that her marriage with the King shall be dissolved. In form, therefore, the Bill nearly follows the Act against Atterhury, Bishop of Roches ter (Stat. 9, Geo. I, c. 17.) which, after reciting his concern in the treason of Christopher Layer, proceeded to enact that he" should be deprived of all offices and dignities within the realm, amid that, they should be void, as if be were naturally dead, and that he should be disabled from tak ing any other within the realm, and from using or ex erersiisg any function, ecclesiastical or civil, and should 'suffer perpetual exile and be for ever banished the realm." The proceedings, however, as we have already observed, are more similar to those in the Act against the South Sea Directors Stat. 7, Geo. I, c. 28;) but upon the whole, both in form and manner of proceeding, precedent appears to have been carefully consulted. Her Majesty will this day be heard by Counsel against the Bill and assuredly we shall be most happy if they can allege sufficient reasons to induce the House to suspend proceeding on a measure so painful ; hut we own when we look to the constitution of the Secret Commit tee, our hopes in this respect are faint indeed. [The Tinto) The proceedings against the Queen hare now reached their summit. They have risen to that point which her adversa ries had long contemplated with hopeless aspirations, but of which they hardly dared openly to confess their desire.— Under the title of a " Bill of Pains and Penalties," a Di vorce Bill was last night brought into the Upper House.— This is certainly snore than the country was as yet prepar ed to expect ; and if the attempt is not nipped in the bud by the firmness and virtue of the House of Lords, to which the Bill is offered, we suspect that our prophecy will not long want confirmation—that the troubles of the coun try were. but just beginning. The preamble to this Bill will be reacNvith deep attention,and the most acute surprise. It relates certain rlffences of the Queen (on which we shall speak hereafter), and then concludes with the proposition that the marriage subsisting between her and her husband should be dissolved : as if all that were necessary to in validate the most solemn of all human engagements were the misconduct of one party. We must generalize our argu ment in order to avoid giving offence. The law of di vorce, as it exists in this Christian country, is founded on the word of God, and the law of the Gospel. Bat the law of the Gospel makes no allowance for rank or station,—af fords no indulgence, no exemptions, no privileges; neither, therefore, can the law of divorce. Now, the law of divorce separates, upon substantial proof, a pure man from ass im pure woman ; but it does not allow, nor ever has allowed, nor ever can allow of the separation of two impure people at the option of either. WT. do not impute to his Majesty an impure life, either during his cohabitation with the Queen or since she quitted him ; but we do aver, that a Bill of Divorce, founded upon the simple misconduct of one party,—the cooduct of the other not being allowed to be examined or inquired into,—is a violation of the law of God, as it is modified and applied to the sacred marriage rite. Be the Queen's conduct what it may. his Majesty must show an unimpeachable title to relief, or must allow that title to be scrutinized before relief can be afforded him; or otherwise there is an end at once of all the sacred solem nity of the marriage contract : fur ill examples do not amount from the humble to the great, but descend (runs people in elevated stations to the crowd. A Bill of Pains and Penalties is one thing, even suppose such a Bill had impri soned the Queen fur life, or had banished her from the king. dons: but a divorce, a dissolution of the nuptial bond, is a measure of a totally different nature ;—it does not punish guilt ; it sets loose from a disastrous obligation. Let it be re collected, that the man as well as the woman engages on his knees, before the altar of Gon, that, " forsaking all others, " he will keep himself only to his wife so long as they both shall u lice." that 11.. King has not done this; fulfilment of his obligation is obvious l a necessary and unalienable condition of the dissolution of t do that wt t say lse the marriagi; and that it is impious to dissolve the marriage without allowing sit what is improperly called recrimination, but which is really cal• a controverting of the plaintasclairn to relief.

Lord HOLLAND presented a Petition from .certain Inhabitants against the renewal of the Alien Act, which now it had expired, his Lord.. ship said he might characterize aS - a most•uncon-• stitutional, illiberal, and 'oppressive measure. He had intended to have kept the Petition in Lis pocket until the Bill for the continuance of that' Act, which it appeared by the - votes was now in progress in tire House of Commons, came up to their Lordships ; but the Act having in the wears time been allowed to expire, he thought it right to preserve the Petition, trusting that the House • would not consent to the revival of so odious a measure. He presented it also now, because ha found in the Petition a clause, which had an im mediate reference to that lamentable inquiry which was now before the House, it•being urged by the Petitioners, that it the Alien Act were to be renewed without some special provision to guard against the evil, it would he in tire power of the Ministers at the Cu own to send away Aliens whose evidence might be material to the accused party in • the inquiry alluded to, whilst they re tained others whose evidence might be wanted to support the accusation. It ceriaiirly not being fitting that the means should exist- for such an abuse, he intended, it the Bill actually carte rip to their Lordships, to move a clause lor the purpose of preven.ing foreiguern who should be summoned as wituesses with relation to the pend ing inquiry from being sent out of the Coun,ty, The ion wes read anti ustlered i o !le tspoa the Inbie. THE QUEEN. PETITION FROM HER. MAJESTY. Lord DActse—My Lords, 1 hold iu my hand Et Petition from her Majesty the Queen, hich has been put into my bands since 1 entered he House. Her Majesty in this Petition, states her readiness to meet the charges conveyed in the Report of the Secret Committee without delay, and desires to be heard by her Counsel foi the purpose of stating weighty matter to the House, with a view to her future defence. In total ignorance of the nature or tendency of the matters which her Ma jesty the Queen is desirous of urging, 1 can only express my hope, that your Lvidships will not refuse the prayer of the Petit ion coining from art individual under the circumstances in which her Majesty is placed, and subjected as she is to the most have and odious charges. I move that this Petition be now received. The Petition was handed by his Lordship to the Reading Clerk, who read it at the Table. It was as follows: " The Petition of Caroline Amelia, Queen Consort of Egg land, to the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, in Parliament assecubled, " The Queen, observing the most extraordinary course that has been adopted by the :;able Lords in the Secret Com mittee assembled, begs to state to the House that she is per fectly ready at this moment to enter upon her defence on the charges against her, as far as she can understand them; and she begs to remind your Lordships, that as it will be abso lutely necessary for her to have certain witnesses for her fit tetie defence, she begs to have the natuie of the charges against her distinctly stated in the present stage of the pro ceedings. And as her Majesty has some weighty matter to lay before your Lordships, highly important to her Majesty's interests, to her honour, and perhaps to her life, she prays to be heard by her Counsel at your bar this evening." Lord DACRE moved that her Majesty be now beard by her Counsel. The Earl of LIVERPOnL—My Lords, I must say that her Majesty the Qieen has bi en ill ad vised in presenting this Petition, though I by no Means mean to object to its being received. It appears to me, however, that there is, in point of tact, no proceeding at the present moment be. tore the House to which this Petition can pro perly apply, as in a Pailiamentaty sense, her Majesty cannot be supposed to know any thing of the Repot t of the Secret Committee, whilst the Hill of which 1 had the honour of giving notice, is not yet presented. When that Bill is on your Lot dsbips' Table, a copy of it will be furnished to her Majesty, and her Majesty's convenience will be of course consulted as to time with regard to whatever evidence she may think it necessary to adduce to rebut the charges against her. At the present moment, it does not appear to me that there is, in point of tact, any stage of pro ceeding to which the Petitiou of tier 111ajesty carat, apply. Lord DACRE—Really, my pord, I ani uleer the greatest difficulty and embarrassment with reg4rd u . the co „,„ o f proceeding which it w ou ld be fitting to adopt. The Noble Emil has advanced • technical objections against hearing her Majesty by her Counsel, as prayed in her Petition; but sume:y, w h en your Lordships consider her Ma. j estv , s hi g h rank and Station, the peculiar sitna. ( i on in which she is placed, the heavy accusation that is made against her, and all the circuarstauces
