fence ; and the Ring now refused to be in the same country with her, as he had before resolved not to meet lyr in the same drawing-room. A threat had been employed to deter hes . from coming--a bribe ised been offered to induce her not to lalld ; and when this failed, and a message was sent to them, they had a right to inquire into the real state of the cafe before they went into evidence — evidence into which he thought they ought not to go at all. The House was asked to enter upon this investigation, on which a Rill, perhaps even a 1111 of Attainder might be founded, by a mes sage from the King. Nuts' let them look how they stood. '!'he King was diatinctly the prose cutor, and it their proceedings went to the length which he had contemplated, and the useasitre went through . Parliament, the King would ultimately be the judge. He advised the House to pause. He apprized it not to interfere hastily let an affair between hnsliand And wife. Since the time of Henry VIII, they had had no precedent of the kind, and that was not very tempting to in duce them to follow it, though fifteen Ministers had left their public do ies last night to go to arm against a woman. That woman, let ilsent remem ber, teas .a daughter of the Honse of liruns%viek— she was the niece of the late King—she was the cousin and wife of the present—she was the mother of the late Princess Chatlotte. It that lamented Priocess were alive, did they believe that soch message as tLey hid heard to-night would have beets delivered tNo such thing. Let ;bens ; con sider, then, before they entered owns a course reenant constquences of winch it im possible to foresee ti-se end. As it might be more convenient, be •hould wait till .o-morrow before the made the uses: ion which he hadinesstioned, for an at:cosily of die negociations at St. Otuer's ; but be ,could have reckoned himself disgraced it lie bad not risen this night to say as much as be had done. Sir R. WlLsost noticed the painful nature of tb subject, and, though he wished to avoid tKe sent discussion, could not resist calling on the house to protect the Queen from any indignity during the period that the prosecution against her might last. He Old not speak of such indigni ties as the Niinisters of this country at foreign Courts, awl these foreign Courts themselves, had been accustomed to treat her with ; but he would say that it was disgraceful, considering her sta tion, and till she was judicially deprived of it, that no fitter vessel should have been found to sent) to Calais bit' a common passage-boat in wiiich to hoist the Royat flag. It was disgraceful that lite Queen should hose no home to go to in this country, no place of residence, no root to slit+ er her, except the roof of au honest man.— Oluch v.vas an honest titan, for he discLarged his duties with honour and fidelity. It was, he repeated, outrageous that her Nlajes:y stmold be obliged to seek an asylum in the house of an individu 11, instead of having assined to her one of the Palaces belonging to the Crown. — Ile was s u re the King 11 , 0111f1 not permit any in dig,,ity to be offered to her, who was once the of his affection, and still the partner of his Throne. -Lord A. HAMILTON deemed no opportunity to so plover as the present for making a few ob servations on this subject. He differed from the Mott. Member who thought that the striking of the ()oven's name from the Liturgy was only a ; he considered it as one whilt du,dit to he coed on the present occasion, as tdioNiog a predeterminatioo on the part if his 1t1aj , ,.-oy's Ministers to condemn her Majesty with out a heating and without a trial—(Hear believed, from an inspection of the Act of Fir bat-tient, that the exclusion of her Majesty's name from the Church Service was illegal ; but supposing it, for the sake of argument, to be le t al, could it be considered as a matter of in difference as related to her Majesty ?---(Cries of Lear !)—Was it not a principle of British justice, established furor one end of the King's dominions to the other, that every nelson shall be considered innocent moil they shall be found in due course of law guilty? Was the Queen to be the only per son in the island who was to be denied the bene fit of thisyrinciple He should contend that, as an act of common justice, the name of the Queen ought to be replaced in the Liturgy, before arty measures of inquiry were proceeded in. The public mind had been prejudiced by the acts of Ministers; and it was must material that, if it. were no , v to come to the 'question of guilty, or not guilty, against the Queen, the public mind should not be tampered with, or prepidieed be forehand. The Noble Lord then alluded to the Order in Council with respect to the omission of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy. That Or der had been sent even out of the jurisdiction of Ministers ; it bad been sent to Scotland; but in Scotland it had been treated as waste paper ; many of the most respectable Clergy had acted in defiance of it ; and not long since, in the very assembly to which that order had been sent, a re solution had been voted, condemning the order as an improper interference with the service of the Church of Scotland.. The Noble Member concluded by hoping, that if the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) and his Colleagues intended to give to the Queen that advantage which was riot denied to the poorest or to the guiltiest subject—the benefit of an impartial hearing—they would re trace their steps, and place her Majesty's name in the same situation in which it stood bad before their interference. Mr. DaNMAN spoke as follows :--Sir, it is not p l y intention 'to pursue this discussion, which, both 'in a personal and constitutional point of view, I shall find fitter oppottunities to enter upon hereafter. I ant afraid, too, that at present I may he betrayed into some of that ardent feeling displayed by my Honourable niend (Mr. Ben diet), though, I will say, tl►at I UIII 1e54 alarmed by his warmth, than by the temperance, calm , pess, and coldness with which the Noble Lord opposite has opened a subject so threatening to the individual against whom these measures are directed, and so replete wills consequences hostile to the tranquillity of the country. In the situa tion in which I am placed, however, 3 cannot pir r zit this subject to advance withssut taking the earliest oppottnuity of asking one question.. cannot rest satisfied with a mere notice, when 1 see that on the instant of the arrival of this 111118- (60ns trerson iu tier iteopted cuuutly, a trial is instituted against ber—n trial foutnled on papers, not on witnesses--a trial, not by the ordinary tri bunals of the country, but by a Secret Committee. 1 pink 1 am entitled, under these circumstances, to know what coarse the accusers intend to pur sue; and acting at this moment without autho rity on this particular point, as an individual Member of Parliament 1 think it my duty to give notice, that 1 shall to-morrow expect this state.. rent on the awful subject now before us. Mr. Baot,oHAM rose and said I—At the present moment, and at 30 short a notice, I am, like my Learned Friend, unprepared to enter ()post this important subject. Unhappily a resolution has been taken—nobappily for the Queen—unhappily for the House, unhappily for the Pat liament , happily for the Guvet motto, arid torhappily for the Country'—l say, a resolution appears to have been taken. which must reinter all further silence on this question unnecessary. The time approaches when men will have to make up then miuds on the subject. and my lips will be unsealed from that restraint which lIKS heretofore closed theca. •At present I shall only say, I think it fair to give the Noble Lord opposite warning, that Government will not only have the task, to per twin of showing a strong case against her Ma ies'y, but they will have &mother task as Minis ters, paramount to that, of clearly and distinctly couvincing the House and the Country, that there was no longer a possibility lett them of postponing or suppressing this discussion. Whichever way the question is determined is of no consequence to this polar. Their case nntst be, that the landing of the Queen and pre-existing circumstances ren dered all further forbearance impossinle. ItAke it for granted that Ministers 'are prepared to state this case to the House, and trust that to-morrow they will acrptit themselves of their obligutiou.— Now that I am on my legs, Sir, 1 hope 1 may be allowed to say a few words that seem re qaisite for my own justification.--(Hear, hear, hear !)—Since 1 entered the House, a Newspaper has been put into my bawls, in which, to my great astonishment, I read an account, purport ing to relate what took place at St. Omer's. That account is, 1 most oissetve, inaccurate, and in most material points very gat bled and erroneous In justice to the Noble Lord (Htitchinson,). who has not yet returned, 1 am bound to state this much, and to designa,e the relation of what he did as imperfect and garbled. Fur myself, I de clare, that I have no nothan of the manner or by what channels this statement got into the public journals. To what indiscretion, or to what breach of confidence this premature disclosure of circumstances is owing, 1 cannot tell. 'Tilll en tered the House, 1 declare that 1 had not seen the account, and abstaining from further discussion of the subject at present, I hope I shall be excvased for having thought it necessary to say so 111UCLI on the subject. The Address rooted by Lord CASTLEREAGH' Wait now pot and tattled, and ordered to be presented to his Majesty by such Members of the House es %%Jere Members of the Privy Council. Lord CASTLEREAGH moved, that the Papers pre sewed should be kept in the custody of the Clerk of the House.

We have very little room to notice them. The discussion was continued on Saturday in the Chamber of Deputies on the Election Pro. jet. After much debate, the first article was at length put to the vote, and was earried -by a ma jority of 5, the numbers being 130 to 125. The discussion of the 2d Article was postponed till Monday.—The King, olk Saturday, transacted business with the Duke de RICHELIEU, the 13al'011 SIMHON, and the Marquess de LATOUR, 'MAIJBOUHG, the Minister of War.---The trial of Lo►irel before the Cotnt of Peers was to commence at ten o'clock on Monday morn ing.

Ot the 2id Murch, 1817 loa f. 3 i c. sad Marcli, 13'20 9ll 35 e• TILL LOAN. This morning, at half-past ten, the Gentlemen forming the different Lists for Cite ensuing Loan of Five Millions, waited upon the Earl of LIVER POOL and the CHANCELLOR Of 141 e ,ENCHEQUEE to know the terms for that Loan. ,The following are the. particulars ;—Ons Ilutadred Bontiat(l, the bidding to be in Consols. 'The Exchequer Bills afloat for the present year are not to exceed Thirty hliliious. The Sinking Fund to be Four Millions Four Hundred Thousand Pounds . for England, and Six Hundred Thousand Pounds for Ireland. The biddings to take place on Friday next at ten o'clock ; the first payment of 10 per Cent. to be on the 16th inst., and the last in March. Consols for Account began this morning at 70i, weet to but when the terms of the Loan were known they felt to 704-. The return of T 1 ,113 Quze to this Country we have often deprecated as an event likely to excite great comtnotions throughout the whole Empire. The spirit of party has been strongly prevalent on the occasion, and will no doubt persevere as long as the proceedings recommended from the Throne and absolutely and indispensably necessary, shalt continue, tilt the final result of the Inquiry is submitted to the Nation. The Opposition Papers, as might be expected, following the sentiments of their Patrons in Parliament, have already taken a decided part against Ministers, and condemn their conduct before the documents are submitted to examination, upon which the ultimate verdict of public opinion will depend. We are unwilling to expose any of our Competitors to the danger of legal notice, but the comments of The Times of this day on the contents of the SEALED BA which has been laid before the House of Lords, containing the grounds of the allegations that lead to. those measures which the wisdom of Parliament may suggest as most proper, after a full examination of all the documents relating to t his awful and melan i choly inquiry, are gross indeed. This conduct on the part of The Times is highly reprehensible, as it is an evidence of the most indecent piejudication. The Chronicle is more guarded, hot hardly less culpable in impeaching the credibility of those documents on which Mi nisters must deeply have deliberated, and which, as grounds for inquiry, have been sanctioned the Throne. Nothing surely can be more illiberal, unjust, and indecent than these pre judi'eations. We have cautiously forborne to throw any imputations against THE QUEEN, though we have had an abundance of private cons-- munications, which perfectly agreed with those ge neml rumours, so injurious to her character, that have been circulated here as well as abroad. While she remained abroad we wished to throw a veil over the, distressing subject, but if she arrived in this Country, we constantly maintained that an in quiry must take place, and that - Ministers would not do their duty to the KINGI and to the Country if they shrunk from such inquiry. TH. QUERN has unhappily come, and no alternative is left to them.—The favourable reception which she re ceived on her arrival, and during her progress to the Metropolis, was such as might be expected from a generous people, who are distinguished for their respect for the female character ? and who are always ready to give any elevated Per sonage credit far innocence till there appears irre fragable demonstration of guilt. Our respectable Dover Correspondent of this day properly pays this tribute to JfiniN BULL. Bit it should be recollected that the crowd who attended her with such acclamations constitute but a small part of the British People, and that the majority tau Ire wise enough to withhold their sentiments till the final issue of inquiry.—The Opposi►ion Prints complain that the inquiry is to be confined to a Secret Committee. Such , a complaint sheers folly as well as malice. — The Legislature are required to examine what measures, or whether any, shall be necessary, after a full investigation has taken place. Sorely this is a natural and proper mode of proceeding. If a trial shall be deemed necessary, it will no doubt be as open as pablic justice can require, and in the mean time, it is proper to leave the whole to the wisdom of Parliament. It has'also been urged as a complaint againstGoverument, that it offered Tllll Queer; 50,0004. a year to resign her honours and remain quietly abroad. If she 1114 not deserved those honours, as Mr. Tien- NET emphatically said in the last }louse of Commons, is it just that she should retain them ? If, as that sturdy Senator also said, she shall be proved to be unworthy to remain a partner of the Throne, shall the King be denied that relief which the commonest of his subjects enjoy in such a state ? As to the SQOOOI. offer ed on the occasion, what is that sum compared with the peace of the Country and the honour of the Throne I Salus Popull sitprema ley, has always been an admitted maxim in this Country, and ought to be observed in every other.— The sum in question is but a trifle corn pared with the advantages which it was the object to secure, and the danger which it was intended to avert. But all negociatton, all com• promise, is now at an end. Ilea MAJESTY has rashly relieved the adri‘x of her sound Counsel bore, and has adopt( d that of a man confesse►lly weak, besotted by a love of popularity, and whose pitiable indiscretion, to speak in the lightest terms, was disgracefully manifested by his intercourse with Thistlewood in his last moments, when he disturbed the wretched Culprit who ougti to have been suffered to prepare for a frei..ure state, by questions evidently dictated by the spirit of Party, For ourselves we shall proctie►l in the same direct course which we have hithe►to observed. We shall give no support to the tillyptions against her MAJESTY, but leave all to the wisdom and justice of the Legislature. We shall rejoice in the manifestation of the innocence of TUB QUEEN j, and if she is proved guilty, we earnestly hope, and indeed fully expect, that Justice KM be ad ministered in Mercy. We cannot conclude without observing, tha► the hasty and intemperate questions pot last night in the House of Commons, sbew the Parc y zeal which would guide some persons in theit nquiries into a question, involving the most mp , irtant e►ents :o the honour of the in— lividuals, and to the tranquillity of ae Country. 'The questions which were so pot, were grounded on a garbled extract and inaccurate copy of cer- lain letters, which proper feelings of decorum, and upright no►ions of patriotism, would have left undisturbed, wholly and in part, until the fatal disclosure was called for but Fauna Nuntia Mali, is the idol of some Patriots. IVATINING..-IL Will be proper for the Magis tracy to take due care to preserve the peace of the Metropolis, as the sons of riot sod plunder may be expected to take advantage of the feelings excited by the return of Till QUEEN to spread confusion, in hopes of reaping a plentiful harvest. They began' this morning in South Audley•street, as we have stated, and will most probably renew their riotous• proceedings to a more alarming extent in the evening. The ringing of the hells in severer Churciies was highly indecent, as it could not be occasioned by the clamour of the Mob, but must have been a voluntary act on the part of the Churchwardens, Overseers, &c.

Ve have not had any arrivals to-day, and Lord HuTottN soN is not yet returned.—The feelings displayed yesterdar by the crowds of both sexes who had assembled on the land ing of the QUEEN, with the exception of some political cha racters, and those very few, were unmixed with any thing of party spirit ; they were a spontaneous, unsophisticated.

TUMULT.—This morning, as early as eight o'clock, a considerable number of persons, not or the most respectable appearance, assembled round the house of Mr. Alderman Wood, in Soutir Andley-street, and their numbers continued in , - creasing owl) nearly twelve o'clock. h appears their object is to indulge themselves in the sans(' species of proceedings as they did last nighty namely, the shouting of " Wool) for ever !" tina compelling the driver of every coach, an l the footman, if there is one, to take off their hate - A non-compliance with this request subjects then" to being well bespattered with. dirt. The conse quence of this conduct has been, that several of the Alderman's windows were broken, and the front of the house much disfigured with mud. The carriage of the Dowager Countess of was passing yesterday evening, and being recog' nised by some of the mob, the, were proceeding to treat the servants in a very rtnigh manner ; 1 104 road, however, being tolerably clear , they were enabled to get away without any mischief being done to them.
