ante, not merely as it affected the Queen, but as: it affected the Government, and would prove how far the sense of the people was spoken by the House of, Commons, and so he woold only add— " God send them a good delivering.'' Lord CASTLEREAGII was grateful to the Noble Lord who brought this motion forward, and to the Hon. Gentleman who seconded him, for the manly way in which- they bad put this question on a proper footing, by submitting to the House a votoor censure on Ministers. Acting. thus, they - had done honour to the party with which they cted, by extricating it from those will and Ira, ter propositions which had been previously Frouoht forward, and snatching their party from that disgvace in ohich liiev were about to involve tinniselyes. This Couloe ;laving been taken, he trusted he should not be found the individual who would shrink from meeting- such a foo lion. He might expaoss •surprize that he, in January 18'21, should be defending a crime charged .to have been committed lo Jan. 1820. Though an offence of so long standing do:vn -to that - day, the subject had never - been. fairly brought before the House. It had been played with in the debate on the motion made by the honourable Member for Bromber, but had never been regularly brought before the House. He might also say, that many of the measures ar raigued by the Noble Lord were as much the acts of the House as the acts of the Ministers. He ; however, was not disposed to shelter the acts al Tvlinisters under this sevenfold shild, and he called upon theoHouse now to determine whether • their conduct was or was not proper in the deli- . cate situation in which they had been placed. That question he wished to"press on the House in the broadest manner, And by their decision on it he was content to stand or fall.— (Hear, hear.)— , The Honourable Gentleman (Mr. Lambtoa) bad fairly grappled with the 'question whether at her Majesty'S age it was probable that any 'spurious offspring could be imposed upon the country in consequence of the profligate life she • might lead ? He (Lord Castlereagh) contended, that had Ministers treated her as if her conduct had been believed to be correct, on the supposi tion that she would remain abroad, they would have placed an instrument into her hand which • she might have come back to claim to. be treated in this country in every respect as Queen-Con sort.—(Hear.)—He could not • understand on what principle the King could demand - that her Majesty should be received at Foreign Courts,' - while she was excluded from the Court of Fn;- I land. He denied that the servants of the CrOwn I abroad - had failed, to treat her with due respect. The instructions sent out (which were not sent till they were,required) merely set forth that it was rot to be demanded that the Queen should be re ceived at Foreign Courts, seeing she was not re ceived at the Court of Great Britain.—(Hear.) — This was not a - very novel case. In proof of this, 'he might refer to - high - Whig authority— to the letter written by a Noble Lord to the Honourable Member for Brambere--and to the notice publicly given by' the 'Duke of Grafton when he was Chamberlain in 1737, when it was announced, that any person visiting the Court of Prince Frederick would not be rcceived at that of the King. He would, however, ask, whether any thing so inconsistent could be required as that - the King should require the Queen to be received at other Courts, while she was excluded from his own? 'He should have felt' that he dishonoured the Crown, the Country to which he belonged, and himself as a Minister, had he signed a dispatch under such circum stances, instructing an Ambassador to make such a demand, and directing him to place him self on one side of the Queen while her courier took his place on the other.—(Hear, hear, hear !)—He' did not know where the Right Hon. Gentleman found that her Majesty had no intenton of returning to this country if she had not been persecuted, as he called it, but which he (Lord C.) would totally deny. Minis ters bad had information of the conduct of her Majesty being of the most degrading and profli gate character from a variety of sources, but • still they were of opinion that it was not their "duty to forte on . the inquiry, if it could be avoided. Before the dea`h of his late Majesty, when they were in possession of the Report of the Milan Commissi6n, Ministers had not 'opened a communication with her Majesty. He must, however, remark, iii the first place, that there were no grounds for assuming that Ministers were not anxious to Prevent by' every pos sible means that hostile inquiry which they always considered - would 'prove one of the greatest calamities that could fail on the country. At that period they,received a proposition very like that which was subsequently made thebasis of the negociation with her Majesty. This came from a quarter which they had supposed might be regarded as a criterion by which they might judge of her Majesty's "Wishes. They did- not give a discouraging answer, but they desired to know if it,Were made with the wishes of her Majesty, and satisfied of this, they would have entered - into the negociation at mice. But it was not for them, by pressing the subject on her' Majesty, to force on the inquiry/by anticipa tion. it was known that the Queen had, from first to last, determined on returning to ,England, on the death of the late King, to claim those circumstances of respect and distinction to which she considered herself to be entitled to by law, hut . which he (Lord' would maintain were merely ail:natter of grace and favour from'his Majesty.. The object of Ministers was not to provoke inquiry, but to avoid it by every means in their power, and this talc/ ' lit be seen in every part of thei r con d uc t. He hoped it would not be thought' that he was obstinately resolved to defend what he ',knew to be:. wrong, but could he be called upon to decide on the arrange went of the Liturgy again, he would do the same again to-morrow.—(T4ear, hear, hear!)—He did not understand how the advice formerly given by.the lion. and Learned Gentleman opposite, could be reconciled with the Message lately brought down, which he appeared to countenance, and which it might be supposed that lie had, ad- vised. Hadid rot understand the•conduct of the Hon. and Learned dentleman with respect. to that proposition which ha had been charged to make to her Majesty, and which he himself had desired to have reduced to writing. That proposition, it appeared, the Honourable and Learned Gentleman bad retained in his pocket from the 15th of April,; down to the end of May. This paper he had taken to St. Orner's, only to bring it back in his pocket, though the Hon. and Learned Gentlemen had wished a letter to be written by .Lord Hutchinson to authorize it. How, he might ask, did. it happen that the Hon and Learned Gentleman, wishing to avert the evils of the late Inquiry, could . throw upon Lord Hutchinson the.task of offering, or indeed, suffer him to ,submit 'a loose proposition to the Queen without producing the document with which he had beck furnished - ? -lie might add too, that he (Lard C.) could never understand why the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, `when it was a notorious 1 fact that no desire was so near the Queen's heart that he should meet her, not at St. Orner's but at _Geneva, and there .deliberate on her interests, why this wish was not complied with ? He never could comprehend why the Hon. and Learned Gentleman thought it his duty —or thought it expedient to bring her Majesty so near the coast before the deliberations were opened, when it would have. been- much. more convenient to enter upon them at Geneva than at a place where she must necessarily be made so prominent as she was, when at St. Omer's. ,lle conceived that the proposition made to the Queen was calculated to produce the most beneficial re sults for the country, and he still believed in •hiS conscience, that under different management it might have been effectual. He now came to the time and circumstances under which the official proceedings had been commenced. He had heard an Honourable Member (Sir R. Wilson), early in the debate, call for an explanation upon this subject; and _certainly- the manner in which that Hon. Officer had expressed himself, would induce a disposition to explain every point upon which he might be disposed to inquire. In formation had been gradually comin g in upon them from all quarters, and forced them to decide upon some official measure, by which they might ascertain its truth or falsehood.= The Princess Charlotte died in November 1817, while the trst date of any actual proceedings transacted,. by the Milan Commissioners was gust 1818. It was the voyage to Greece, which her Majesty undertook in the autumn of 1817, which determined Ministers to ploceed without delay to gain some official . knowledge of her , con- . duct.. It was in consequence of•the flood of in telligenCe which burst in upon them respecting time particulars of that voyage that the Milan - Commission was established. It had been said, . that the, evidence was not properly. sifted and looked into, previous to bringing forward the proceedings. If the House. were toga into an influiry ? and Mr. Cooke and Mr. Powell, the legal Gentlemen who concluded the Commission, were brought before the House, they would prove that every means of cross-examination and scrutiny which could be devised, had been re sorted to in the collecting of the evidence. lie could not, as an honest man, have advised his Majesty to have received the Queen with all the dignities and privileges of his Consort, after what her own witnesses had proved against her. The Honourable and Learned Gentleman opposite ' had now shown what line of defence he had at first intended to- adopt. 'fl Hereditary Grand Master of the Order of St. Caroline bad remained in Paris, according to the lion. and Learned Member's own admission, by his ex press desire; and other witnesses bad been kept unexamined in this country, to be ready if the Bill came down to that House. So that they would have come there, and have Oven that evi dence upon honour, which they dared not have given in another, place upon oath.—(Cheers.) — The Noble Lord then adverted to the disposition on the part of her Majesty to continue to agitate the country with this question. With respect to the Message which she had sent down to the House a few nights ago, he had never witnessed any proposition received by Parliament under such auspices. A chill of disapprobation had pervaded even the ranks of Gentlemen opposite. —(Loud Cheering.)—The state of the country, be it It hat it should never stop him in the ho'nest aqd conscientious discharge of his duty. And whenever a question of difficulty or danger pressed upon him for decision, he would never look for the opinion of the nation, because he did not know how to coliect it. But he would turn to that deliberative and wise assembly of the nation, and by their opinion he would be guided.— (Cheering.)---God knew that be did not undervalue the opinion of the people of this c oun t r y, w h en th ey h a d h a d tim e to reflect upon any question, because he knew they possessed "that innate love of truth, which at once ennobled and distinguished them above all the nations of the earth, and which would never fail eventually to bring them to a just and sound conclusion. But he would never consent hat Parliament should abdicate its functions.— (Hear, hear, hear I)—He did not look at the state of the country with that dismay which had been expressed by some Honourable Gentle- Men. On the contrary, he even viewed it with confidence. With respect to that desperate fac tion which had been alluded to by an Honoura ble Member in the debate -of last night (Mr. Whitmore); he was convinced that it not only existed in this country, but in all others; and that at the present moment they seemed to be acting with an alarming "degree of= sympathetic feeling. He was quite satisfied to leave the pre sent question, first to the c clecision of that House, and then to the sound sense of •the people.— With regard to his Majesty, the dawn of his reign had been overclouded by the necessity whiCh compelled him to discharge a great public duty, out of which some unhappy confusion had been brought upon the country. But it was not more clouded than the dawn of his illustrious predecessor's reign, which bad afterwards shone forth with so Knuth splendour. • If he knew his Sovereign's heart, it contained but one consider- ation—but one wish—the good of ,his people.— And whatever might have been the impression in an agitated . moment . he:was convinced that such sentiments would be returned by the grate ful feeling of an " affectionate people.—(The Noble - Lord sat down amidst loud and long continued cheering.) Mr. BuouonAat rose at nearly half-past four o!clock, and addressed the House at considera ble length. He contended in the first place, that notwithstanding the declarations of the abandon ment of all further proceedings against the Queen, there were new persecutions intended ; perhaps not in this country, but a new plan might be hatched in Hanover, and fresh evidences might be submitted to some Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan= caster, or other persons holding a similar office. The-Hon. - Member then ariimadve,rted with severity against that part of the press that had so disgrac ed its name, by sowing distrust in private fami lies, and creating those jealousies and suspicions in society that threatened to destroy its vital in terest, unless speedily suppressed; and continued replying to the, different.remarks of Lord Castle reagh, and some other Members which more im mediately applied to himself. With respect to his own opinion upon the case of the Queen, he thought it necessary to observe, and he made the asseveration in the most solemn manner, that such an important occasion required, that if he had been relieved from the situation of the Queen's Advocate, and placed in the body of the House as one of her Judges, he should have been found among the number of those who, laying their hands upon their hearts, h a d conscientiously and fearlessly pronoubced a verdict of Not Guilty. He thought himself bound to make this solemn attestation of his opinion, and in confirma tion of the truth of it he now called down upon himself the most horrible imprecations and curses that could possibly attend him, if this was not his' most sincere and conscientious,*opinion.— After a few other observations, the Learned Gen tleman reverted to the general features of the case against her Majesty. The, House thca - divided upon the question— " That it appears to this House that his Majesty's Ministers, in- advising the measures which have led to the, late proceedings against her Majesty the Queen, Were not justified by any political expediency or necessity, and that their conduct throughout the whole of those proceedings has been productive of consequences derogatory from the honour of the Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the country ;"—when there ap peared for the Motion of the Marquess of Tavi stQcli.— Ayes 1-3 Noes :32 Majority -14i; The House then A.DJOURNED at SEVEN o'CLocx.

Mr. PEEL, on the preceding night, took an impartial view o f the subject, and with manly openness censured Ministers where he thought they were wrong, but fully vindicating them on the ~ ; e- a t subject of dis cussion, as to the necessity of adopting proceed.. ings, after the rumours universally prevalent on the Continent, charging the QUEEN with conduct in deed " derogatory to the dignity- of the Crown, and injurious to the bestinterests of the Country. But we have done. The question respecting her guilt or innocence is in the possession of all man- kind, and, no doubt, truth and justice will here after fully characterize their:final decision. The visit of His MAJESTY to Drury-Lane Thcatse last night, and the reception which he experienced from as numer ous a body as the house could contain,, may be considered as an epocha in the annals of the Country. Never onariy occaL sion could any individual have been received .with more cor dial welcome. We had the pleasure of witnessing this most interesting scene. The acclamations seemed ,to consist wholly of one voice, in thunders of loyalty from all parts. The very few persons who sometimes exclaimed " Ter.E.7 QUEEN !" served but to increase if possible the shouts of loyalty. His MAJESTY'S deportment throughout the whole exhibited re spect for the People, blended with a due sense of - his elevated station. He returned these ardent testimonies on , every repeti don with a gracious- bow, and maintained a dignified S , 2IV except when he resigned himself to the entertainments of the Stage, joining in the applause which Miss WILSON and the other principal Performers in the Opera received, and cheer fully enjoying the huthours of the Farce..—The Green-Rooin was filled by the friends of the Nanagers, and other Gentle men, who were unable to obtain admission into the'front Utile House; and who accompanied the Vocal Performers to the Stage, and stood behind them, joining in the chorus.__ His M.,...rEsTY himself joined in the song of " Rule Ilritannia,', and, except the few individuals whom we have noticed, the most zealous spirit of loyalty animated the whole of . the vast body who wkre present on this interesting occasion. nnity, THE HIS MAJESTY'S visri"ro 1J13.1.7RY-LAE TirEATItE MOST GRATIFYING . AND HEART-GLADDENING SCE:. E. The KING having graciously, 'signified his in tention to visit this Theatre last night, the Royal Box'above the Stage, on a line with the first cir cle, was fitted up in a style of the utmost splen dour and magnificence for the reception► of his MAJESTY and Party. From the front of the flux . , covering the centre pannel, hung a , representation of the Royal Arms, emblazoned on a ground of silk, and above was erected a silken canopy, surmounted by a Crown. The interior of the Box was fitted up in a similar style, and a splen did Chair of State was placed in front for the accommodation of his MAJESTY. Two Yeomen of the Guard, in full state uniform, bearing hal berts in their hands, attended MAJEiTY oil this occasion, and were stationed on the stage on , each side of the Royal Box. Nothing could ex ceed the demand for places, from the-moment it became known that his MAJ EST Y was to honour the Theatre with his presence ; and the con course of persons assembled in the streets around the Theatre, in the hopes of gaining admittance, for a long time before the doors were opened, was great beyond all precedent. We h ave not heard of any accidents; but the crush. it; Budges-street, ltuss(a-street, and Vine-gar yard, was so -great ; that it 'was with much diffi culty the shop windows were saved from being broken.. It would.be vain to attempt to , describe the scene which ensued upon the opening of the doors of the Theatre. Until seven o'.clock the exterior vestibule was thronged with company—, parties of Ladies and Gentlemen indiscriminately mixed , struggling to Make •a_p"assage to the Pay-box. Many companies of Ladies and Gentlemen, who had previously secured. places, were obliged to return, after several fruitless - attempts to make their way through the crowd.. The interior of the house presented a spectacle of. au equally novel description. The Pit was .iu a. state of overflow on every side. The Galleries present ed the same appearance : and the lobbies of every tier of Boxes were filled with individuals who were disappointed of obtaining places, en deavouring to persuade, and in some cases to force the box-keepers to open the box doors. Sums of money, greatly exceeding the price •of admission, were.olfered to. procure seats of any lob k lbao i rd and s dxt i aein ; avie,:cohr. leis m t-he s j u:l s : l 7m ,sialed that most o anxiety st o f a t i o e a s . , . c f o r r o t n e l o.e theof most the eircl e r u e s p p t e o c t t a h b e l e t , h a i n r d d g t i e e n r_, teel persons contented ,to occupy standing ac- commod ation, the door of the box hein.g•opened for the purpose of affording them a view. His MAJESTY, attended by the Dukes of YoaK and CLARENCE, with their respective suites, en tered the Royal boxes at seven o'clock.. Imme diately upon his appearance the whole of the im mense audience who _crowded the pit, boNes, and galleries, sithultaneously stood up uncovered, giv ing- vent to their feelings of loyalty and-attach ment to the person of their most gracious SOVE REIGN, in such an overwhelming torrent of rap. turous and tumultuary applause as must entirely I thbatHe e of the pen to convey adequately to the reader.' This scene of enthusiastic rojc/lc._ ing, accoaipnied by the universal waving of Isats and handkerchiefs from every part of the HotrW, continued for nearly 10 minutes. During this period his MA JESTY conti nue d standing andbou-- inir. to the audience. Th e cu r t a i n rose on Ms M ' 'AJESTY'S entrance, and exhibited the tvhOle company of the performers of this Theatre, filling nearly the whole body of the stage. As soon as his MAJESTY took his seat, the company and the orchestra struck up the national anthem - of" Ga d. save the King," at the conclusion of each verse of which, a rapturous shout of approbation wp.s set up. Some miserably feeble opposition was at tempted to be made to this general feeling - of affection and, loyalty which' pervaded almost every breast in the House, by 'some half do zen of depraved wretches scattered in dif ferent parts of the House ; but finding them Selves entirely - unsupported, and. overwhelmed by a tor rent of execration and, counter applause, they became appalled by the solitude of their Own .voices, and did .not dare to slink from their hid ing places after -the amusement of the evening. His MAJEST Y frequently expressed his approba tion of the different performers in the Opern of Artaxerxes. Miss. WiLsox was particularly dis tinguished, and, indeed, the whole of the perfor mers 'deserve the highest praise for the unusual exertions they made on this occasion. His MAJ EST Y looked extremely well, and we are happy to say, appeared- to enjoy the most perfect health and spirits. He was dressed in a,plain military suit of green, with golden aiguil lettes. The Duke of Yoni sat on his right, in a field Marshal's uniform, and the Duke of CL.lnr.ridE was ..on the left of his MAJr.arY in hi uniform as Admiral of the Fleet. At the bac: of the box were the Lord in \Vaititig and th Master of the Horse, his Grace the Duke c MONTROSE, as well as the other usual attendiue forming the respective suites of his M.O EiTY an. Royal Brothers. T he box above that occupier by the Royal Party, was occupied by pare of th „ • Royal iliac:, consisting of Oeneral Otlicen i uni>orm, and Admiral Sir Einiu:so NAGLE. At the conclusion of the, Opera, the Gompan . ag'aiu came forward and, sung " God save, et King," amidst the most ecstatic bursts of applaus and loud and long continued cheering. The farc; was then about to commence ; but the periormer who apPeared .were compelled to retire for ; time, the audience insisting upon " nude fin tannic'," being given ; which demand.was corn plied with, amidst the loudest cheers. At the con clusion'of the farce " Goasave thc King," wa, repeated with unanimous-apd ecstatic applatne the audience standing . .. - and. joining in tart chorus. His _MAJESTY remaireed till the end() the entertainment, with the •,1.3.1e of: which II( scorned to be much delighted. On leaving t.l( box he bowed several times in •reply to the versar cheers and plaudits of the,Hou,e. On the whole a more gratifying spectacle ha! never on any' occasion been witires:.ed.
