The twill` ,l then quoted the opinion of Sir Wm.

Their Lordships won't' allow lion to state, that the story of the dishonour, &c. were mere pretences, and the author of the Bill, whoever he might be, did not himself believe one .word of it. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to comment upon the conduct of one of her Majesty's former advisers, who wasnow arrayed .ag - ainst her with documentary evidence in one hau n t and the Bill in the other. At the time • her. Majesty was advised respecting her going abroad, all was to be tranquillity, and peace, and. happiness, and free dom. . He asked why, since the slanders against her Majesty had acquired consistency more than four vears ago, why all proceedings had sburibered ? why no friendly voice was heard to p,onounce the werd,f,f, return," by which alone au end 4:01d (I lie 101 t to the calumnies in circulation? He would ven ture to say, that the man who had ventured to have sug ge-sted the propriety of advising her Majesty's return to this country .would -have Intel the doors .of the Court dung in his fare. At the last, when her Majesty was about to return, she was; offered the eonservation of her rights as Queen, and an increased income, and no question made ahout.the adulter ous intercourse, on one condition, namely, a continued resi dence abroad. After that, was it possible to believe one particle of the Bill? Her Majesty's landing raised all the • phantoms which had been conjured up against her, but even her settiug her foot on the English shore would not of itself hare been sufficient, but it was the publication of the threat tvhich haul been used, and thereby exposing the authors of it, butt spurred on their purpose, andit was for such persons and from-such motives that their Lordships were called upon to carry on the.proceedings. lie would close his observations, nut because he had not more to urge, but because as their Lordships were men of justice, men of counsel, and men of horlour, he had-said enough tit convince them, that by dis iniss/ng the Bill they would hest acquit themselves to their Cluntry, and most truly consult the substantial honour of C - -e Crown.

The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, it was his duty to inform Counsel that, according to a standing . order of their Lordships' Uousc,, there could be but two Counsel heard on e;icii side.

As early as daybreak yesterday morning the note of preparation resounded throughout all the streets and aVenties of Westminster 'immediately surrounding the •House of Lords. In addit;en to those precautionary measures, which we stated yesterday, as the hour for the meet, ina of the House began to approach, a larg e bod y of'constableS:waS 'placed at 'each of the avenues, and along the whole line • of approach hi every direction. The - superintendance of this civil fOrce was in the able hands of Mr. Lee, the High Constable of Westminster, who was on the spot, mounted on horseback, by eight o'clock.. The High Bailiff, Mr. Morris,.was also in attendance. The horse patrole mustered in Privy Gardens, ! and, along with a number of the patrole on foot, all armed, were appointed to promenade in White hall. A large body of the second regiment of. Horse Guards were stationed in Old Palace yard •;-- and a troop of the City Light Horse oc cupied Pedlar's -Acre, on the , other side of the River ; the second battalion of the second regi ment of Foot Guards, with a full band, playing a loyal tune, left the King's'Mews at a quarter be fore nine o'clock, marched to the Horse Guards, and formed on the Parade. in the Park, where another battalion of the regiment were already assembled. The latter were afterwards stationed in front of the House of Lords. Every precaution, in short, that could.be de viced,•was taken to secure - - to the Peers the free access 'to and from the House, and to prevent any interruption to the public peace from the number of people expected to be attracted. As early as nine o'clock the Peers began to arrive ; some in carriages, others on -horseback, and'not a few on foot. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of York and Sussex arrived within.. a few minutes of each other ; the former was • ac., companied by the gallant Marquis of Anglesea, and both Were on horseback. His Royal High tress. the Duke of "York was • loddly cheered by . the crowd, which he acknowledged by fre quently bowing. The Duke of Wellington was hot becomingly received: The Duke of Wel lington—will England credit it ?—will the world believe it hissed I The gallant General, Britain's.hero,,and Baonaparte's conqueror, was On horseback, with a footman behind him. He seemed perfectly amazed—he looked around him with astonishment—and he made an almost cont.. plete halt, and' gazed full at the crowd . .. Even they -stood abashed, and seemed ashamed. The disgraceful hissing subsided, and the Illustrious Duke passed on. THE QUEEN'S PROCESSION TO THE HOUSE. Her MAJESTY having slept on Wednesday night at Brandenburgh House, rode into town yesterday morning, accompanied by Lady Anne Hamilton, in her travelling carriage and four. On the dickey was Mr. Hieronymus, her Ma jesty's Maitre d'Hotel, and behind the carriage were two servants in the Royal livery. On the Carriage being driven to the door of her Majesty's residence, in St. James's-square, Mr. Alderman Wood, who had been in waiting there since eight o'clock, came to the.door to receive her Majesty, and conducted her from-her carriage to the draw ing-room. After a short pause the Queen pre sented herself at the window, and her appear auce called forth from the surrounding multitude the most unbOunded marks of applause. A. short' interval only had elapsed before the multitude again expressed their wish to.see her, and they repeated the call of " The Queen! The Queen!" il.er Majesty again presented herself at the Win dow, and was again universally . greeted. Her Majesty' was afterwards observed to walk up and down the drawing-roOM with rather a •hurried and irregular step. At a quarter before- ten O'clock another of her Majesty's carriages drove up' to the door, with Sir William Gull , and the lion. Keppel Craven, ~her Majesty's Chamber lains. The Hon. Keppel CraVen alighted from the carriage, and joined .her Majesty, Lady Ha milton, and Mr. Alderman Wood,, who were then in the drawing-romn, •Sir William Gell continued in the carriage. The attention of the crowd was now.directed towards York-street, down which the new splendid State Carriage was seen advancing, drawn by six beautiful bay horses, superbly ca parisoned. The coachman and postillions were richly dressed in scarlet and gold. A few mi nutes after the carriage had drawn up to the door of her Majesty's residence, Alderman Wood, in full dress, came out, and expressed his wish to have an avenue cleared for him to the travelling carriage which had brought her Majesty to town, and which was stationed at some distance from the House. Parry and his party, of Bow-street, who had been placed at her Majesty's dc,or, soon opened a passage for the Alderman ; and, as soon as the crowd recognised him, he was greeted by them. Her'Majesty de scended the stairs, leaninl , upon the arm of the Hon. Keppel Craven; Lady ' Ann Hamilton fol lowed. Her Majesty was dressed in a plain black silk gown, richly laced, and a foreign cap, over which was a very long white veil, which was turned aside over her Majesty's shoulder. Lady Ann Hamilton was also dressed in black, with a black Spanish hat. Footineis, in state liveries, gold-headed canes, and state caps, stood on both sides of the door of the carriage, while the Hon. K. Craven hand ed her Majesty and Lady Hamilton in. Mr. Craven now resumed his place, beside Sir Wni. Gell, in her Majesty's other carriage,„ and the Royal cavalcade, consisting of the three Car riages, now commenced its march. 'The carriage with Alderman Wood took the lead, and was fol lowed by that of her Majesty, the carriage of the Chamberlains bringing up the rear. Balconies, windows, Sc.r. were crowded by persons who waved their handkerchiefs, and some of them dis played white ribbands. The cavalcade moved slowly on amidst the unceasing shouting of the multitude, until it arrived at Carlton Palace, where the applause was redoubled. • The sentinels, agreeably to the orders receiv ed by them, presented arms. The Soldiers at the Horse Guards, like those at Carlton Palace, presented arms by order of their Officers, as her Majesty passed. The avenues to• St. James's Park were'closed ; and at - the Horse Guards, on the procession passing by, orders were issued not only for the closing of the outer gates, but also those leading to the Park. The arrir4l of her Ma jesty in Palace-yard was announced by stionts of ". The Queen !"---" The Queen !"---" The (been is coming !" At half past ten - c Mock the proces sion passed through the barrier into Old Palace- yard. Up to this time the barriers had been so well defended, that scarcely any one had paSsed without permission ; but now several person's of both sexes entered 'with the carriages, and two 'women 'clung' so close to. the forehorse of Mr. Alderman Wood's carriage, that they could not be disengaged from it, and screamed most lustily when it was attempted. The guards stationed in front of the' House of Lords presented arms to her Majesty (also by order),. and 'she entered the House.—The applause was very great. At four o'clock it• was announced that the House of Lords had adjourned, and that the Queen was about to come to her carriage. The carriage immediately drew up. The soldiers were also placed ruder arms, and the Horse Guards formed a semicircle round the several carriages, and thus kept off the crowd. Ten minutes, how ever, elapsed, before the Queen made her appear ance. The .Queen then. appeared. Her veil was down. The soldiers presented arms. Her Majesty 'was attended to her carriage by Sir T. Tyrwhitt, on her right, and Mr. Denman on her left hand.- The Usher of the Black Rod banded her Majesty into her carriage. Mr, Brougham, who had just finished addressing a long speech to the House, was too exhausted to be enabled to attend her Majesty. Lady Ann Hamilton having-got into the carriage, her Majesty fol lowed.; and the party immediately drove off, amidst the accustomed plaudits.. Her Majesty's Ciamberlains entered the carriage and pair, with HOUSE OF LORDS THIS DAY. The Proceedings were of course resumed at an early hour this morning in the House of Lords. The Crowd that attended Tut QvErN in her pro gress to the High Court was much less numerous than yesterday. Alderman WOOD again attempted Co force himself into the House of Lords by her MAJESTY'S entrance, bat was prevented, and he than walked away to the door of the House of Commons, and to increase his mortification, was unheeded by the bystanders. Mr. DENMAN be gan his Speech as soon as the House was formed.. lie will be followed by the Attorney and Solici tor-General, and Mr. BROITCHAM will then re ply. It may therefore be doubted whether the ATTORNEY-GENERAL will open the case in evidence this day. Having given in our Paper of this day so co-1 pious an account of the Parliamentary Proceed ings of .yesterday, we have little 'Space for animadversion on the subject, therefore shall only observe, that the opinion of the Judges renders nugatory all the objections which have been raised against the mode of trial adopted in the case of her 111AJESTY. Those venerable Sages of the Law confirmed the opinion of the Loan CHANCELLOR, that there was no existing Statute which could reach to her impUted guilt. Conse quently the'adopted course by a Bill of . Pains and Penalties was inevitable. It is difficult, if not impossible, to conceive the motives which in fluence those who object to this course, which is unavoidable, unless they rely upon her MAJESTI'S innocence under - all the imputations, Or think that, if guilty, she should receive the homage only due to virtue. Never' did we see such a . set of wretches - as attended her MA ,/ iST 'S carriage and shouted in her favour. The QUEEN herself seemed sensible of the disgrace, and kept back in her carriage. But what must be thought of those wretches who treated yes terday the Duke of WriLtNoroN, the triumphant Champion.of Europe, and the Glory of the Bri tish. Empire, with most brutal hostility !—Can the favour' of such miscreants excite any thing but contempt, indignation, and disgust ! ! ! . . S%re received this morning the Paris Papers of Tuesday last.

After Mr. DENMAN had concluded his Speech/ the ATTORMEY.GENERAL, and the SoLicrroR GENERAL, were heard in answer to the arguments of Messrs. BROUdHAM anti DENMAN. Ml . ' BROUGHAM was by leave of the House heard in reply, which he concluded soon after four o'clock. Some conversation then took place respecting the opinion given yesterday by the Judges, it being the wish of several Noble Lords, that the Judges should give their reasons for that opinion. Lord KING rose to bring forward a motion, founded upon the arguments of the QUEEN'S Counsel, against the principle of the Bill, that it was not essential to the public morality, or neces" sail ,- to the public safety that the Bill of Pains and Penalties against TILE QUEEN should pass into a Law.—The Earl GREY wished his Noble Friend to postpone his Motion till to-morrow, in order that they might have time to make up their minds 0 to the effect of the arguments urged` hy the QUEEN'S Counsel. Lord KING. declared his rev diness to acquiesce in this suggestion. The Earl of LIVERPOOL thought the better mode would be for the Noble Lord to state the terms of his Motion, by moving it now, and then to adjourn the 'Debate till to-morrow. This was agreed to, and the House adjourned till tomor row morning. Business to commence at TO o'Clock. LONDON JOURNALS raeilLy ExTzt‘icTs.) FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.
