which she had no .ight hut as the wife of George I.; and it
was therefore evident that not even is Germany was she

to induce a belief that tire divorce was cusisidaved as effee.

Englaad, it was • right annexed to the rank .4 Queen
to have her Name insetted in the Lila/gel sv they would
have acted as illegally sod isuraiostilutionally as those
who hail advised his present Majesty were NOW charged
with having done. His Learned Friend had said, hs

legiance of the people of England as the King himself.—
(elect, bear )—He had always understood, bet perhaps
he was mistaken, sod kis Learned Freer.' could inform
him better, chid the Queen was herself but • subject.—
It was the Ant time that he had heard stock language owed
in that House. He bad, indeed, with indignation, seen it
stated in certain papers which were aircidated nut of doors,
that in her answer to some addreases,the Queen had spoke's
of the people of Euglaild as her subjects; Miler had
he expected to hear (ruin on lawyer what he had that sight
heard from his Learned Friend, that the Queen, who was
herself but a subject, wag es marl. entitled to the
•Ilegiance of the people as the King. He wow came to
the question of the expediency of what had bees

should tenet have advised the of her name. But
when it became • aueetiou of ceut.nuing to lief, wader a

turn of expediency, it would he fur them to say, whether after
all that had since appeare.l, after all the evidence which
they had seen—(CAegrs
,front elf ports of the House)—
They would decide that a case bad mut been proved,
which reudered this advice expedient at the time
when it was given. As had been clearly shown by the
Ifuouuesible Member for Bramber, ann religious question
was here involved, her Majesty being still preyed fur as one
of the Royal Family. But the question was, whether the
House was prepared to say, after all that had passed, that
Ministers were nut justified is the advice they had given,
and to address his Majesty, praying hiss to insert the Gairele•
aline is the Liturgy.--The lluu. Gentleman sat doom
amidst loud and general rherring.
Mr. WETHERELL replanted.

Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH apologised for detisti- I
int! the House at so late an hour. He professed hi•
anxiety to adhere to the strict meatier at issoe, namely, the
legality or illegality of the eubject in dispute. He tursiogly
eheracterised t►e measure of omitting her Majesty's name
from the Liturgy, as one wholly unconstitutional sod ewe
justifiable. He was almost ashamed to detain the House at
all, after the able, convincing, and unanswerable arguments
of his Hou.aad Learned Friend, the Member for Oxford.—
He ridiculed the taunt of the Right Hun. President of the
Board of Trade,as•pplied to his Hoe. Friends, for not haw.
leg agitated this subject before, and inquired, where were
they who made this taunt, fruits the month of June, and
subseqeseatly to the close of the year, to answer it ? It was
well known that at that period the safnetimate proceedings
agsiest the Queen were instructed. The public mediae
was immediately absorbed, and continued to be so said the
fate of the Bill of Pains and Penalties was determined ;
after which the Howse of Commons was cut off by those
very Ministers who made that taunt, from any opportenaty
of expressing any one opiuiou upon the conduct pursued
Inwards her Majesty. But another argument urged against
his Hoe. Fries& was one of a must unparalleled nature:
they had been charged with having iatiliNied a motion loot
sufficiently direct, imperative, aid vehement, as it rests cud
their behaviour to the Crown in the Address proposed to he
carried up to his Majesty. Against even Orders to Council,
provided they were Out consonant with the spirit of the
Coustitotioo and the precepts of justice, it was the duly of
that House to remonstrate with firmness. But beyond that
be had always understood that the terms and reinener of
conveying such rezoonstreacea were to be as decor... and
free from coarseness or vehemence as possible. Another
strange argument which had hero used by the Right Hon.
and Learned Gentleman who spoke last was, that his Hon.
Friends having corbeled their expression's to the terms" un-
advised and ioexpedieut" (as it respected the omission of the
name from the Liturgy), they had thereby admitted the
legality of the measure. He contrasted this bar of argil.
went, so ineffectually 'defensive, with the conduct of the
Noble Lord (Castlereagh) before the institution of the trial,
who had staked his official existence on the legality as well
as on the propriety of the object. %%Items. now, instead
of advancing so far in their pretension', Ministers con-
fined themselves to their personal justification. They cried
out against the conviction which awaited their conduct, and
they, the perpetrators of the injustice, proposed themselves
as the Judges, to decide the quest** as well as the measure
of punishmeat. He contro►erted the argument of the At-
tourney General as to die case of the Duchess of Zell, consort of
Geo. I. The Right Hon es sod Learned Geist. had concluded that
because at her death she retained the title which from her
parentage belonged to her, that there was proof of no di-
vorce having taken place. He stated the law ul the case to
be otherwise in the States of Germany, and assumed that
Geo. I. had obtained • separation a vincula usatriesonie.
He avowed that he was ashamed of appesliug to tiw ease
of one who had lived and died in prison, and whose care
bad passed by altogether sub riteletio. This and the ap-
peal of the Hight Honourable and Learued Gentleman to
the authority derived from the reign of Henry VIII. he coo.
'jarred all applicable, and no more so, than if the works of
Homer or Virgil had been quoted for authorities. The 13th
and 14th Geo. 11. contained terms which limited the pow. r
°faltering the Liturgy. The Order in Council recited the
Eitb section of the Act of Uniformity, and if be chose,
strict argument, be might confine his antagonists :u the
proofs which they could adduce of sopped front that very
proviso which limited t►e power to alteriag mid changing
the names. One of the remarkable arguments of the °the r
side was, that previous to the reign of Charles 11. noise
of the Acts contained say such proviso. Those of Ed.
ward VI. and Elizabeth were quoted to prove this. It
would be alone sufficient foe his purpose to leave it admitted
Hist • power which hail been claimed and exercised before
the enactment of Charles 11. had been confiued in its sub
segment exercise by the term. of that Statute. Would it
be •rgu. d that such • proviso made us difference in the
existence of that power? lVeis it possible to artionie
that Sir Mstlhrw Hale and Lord Clarendon, consider.
log the geuiu• of the mew and the period in which they
lived, had none but t►e most insignifirant mrsning in
their minds? We►e they persons 111 haat to the

terms were that such alteration or changes should be Made

Monarch and the monarchy.
