LONDON,
MONDAY, -41111UARY 29. 1821.

The decision of she House of Commons upon
Lord ARCHIBALD HAMILTON'S motion respecting
the omission of the QUEEN'S name from the
Liturgy, was not, we are convinced, such... will
please the country, •till we feel no less assured that
it way not calculated to promote the general' lade-
rests of the community. The conduct of his Ma-
jesty's Ministers en this occasion displayed any
thing but • conciliatory spirit, desirous of com-
posing the agitation of the public mind, and of
restoring the confidence and harmony that ought
to aufeost between a good government and • loyal
people. The moment seemed to have wi11...
ed when the water, of oblivion might hove
been safely poured over the errors of the past,
and mien's, minds Is d gently back to their
proper state of tranquillity ; but the Minivers
of the Crown rejected the golden opportu-
nity, and in a manner a• if they hoped to derive
some adv.isitsges from perpetuating the sources of
discord. We lament the decisiosi of the (louse her more
on account of the temper it displayed, than for any
importance which we should ever attach to the
mere circutnstance of restoring the QUEEN'S name
to iis piece in the prayers of the church. Whether
her MAJESTY
.were prayed for by name o► not,
we look upon •oa matter intrinsically of very little
consequence either to herself or to the public.
The naming ofany person in our politic prayers,
whether KIND or QUEEN, is a corrupt practice,
opposed in every point of view to the pare principles
of Christianity, which teach as that the great
Author of our being is to be propiliated by the
individual merits of his creatures, and not by the
prayers ■nd interceesiona of others. 'Our prayers,
therefore, for the KING and the Royal Family
are nothing more then acknowledgments of
our political faith, essentially distinct from our
individual mining of religion ; equally removed
are they from our estimate of the moral worth of
the personage■ whose names we intermingle with
our public devotion. We pray fur the KING and
the Royal Fitfully in their political capacity exclu-
sively, and the same form of words we should use
whether the sceptre were swayed by se Gm:ince,
our Most Gracions King end Governor," or by
such a contemptible sod ■baudotsed Icing as
CHABLEs 111. or the gloomy tyrant his brother
JAMES. With smelt feelings upon the subject, it
may be believed that we should not very streliu-
ously contend for the insestion of tile Qv EXIVS. 'WM!
• in the Liturgy, did oe not consider the omission
of the name to be intended as un insult and a re-
proach to her MAJESTY,
and for the purpose of
daily degrading her in the ryes sit the whole people
of Kiiglaml. The insertion of the name in tier
Liturgy is a customary right that appertains to her
MAJESTY as Queen Consort. of the realm. The
•dwusion of the name implies no approbation of
ber morel diameter, else ousission of it is necessarily
an injury and a degradation, and the mere abstract
power of the Government to expunge the name
cannot satisfy the people with regard to the pro-
priety or the expediency of exposing to so went
an ignominy the first subject in Me empire.
In reading tire debates in the House of Commons
on this subject, we were at once .unused acid slits.
gusted by the seretched quibbling, the special
&lain that were wed to gel rid of Lord,

A. HAMILTON'S motion. " What !" raid Mr. Ro-
BINIOK, who led the ministeri■l phalanx on this
question, " would 'you proceed in so important and
weighty • matter by such • milk-and-water resolu-
tion ?" It would be inconsistent with the dignity of
the House to say Aye or No to such a question;
let us therefore leave the subject altogether, and
go sway about our business. " Moreover," said the
Right Hon. Gentleman, " you know that we ad-
vised the KING to omit the QUEEN'S name at •
time when we were fully persuaded that she would
never set her foot in this country, and having '
thus formed our arrangements upon so wise
• supposition, having reckoned without our host,
you, his Majesty's faithful COllllllOllll, will not
be so unkind as to make us acknowlege our
errors, and confess, though we cannot deny it,
that the QUEEN has terribly deranged all oar
little plans." Such, in different word., was
the tenor of Mr. nom tisox's speech, who, not be.
ing able to meet the question boldly, was obliged
to get rid of it by a side wind, and move the ad.
journment of the House. The ATTOILNEY.GENE..
RAL improved very much upon Mr. ROBINSON,
for, in the beginning of his speech, lie proved that
he bad made • vast discovery. " Your resolution,"
said this Learned Gentleman, " speaks only of the
injustice and inexpediency of the omission of the
Queen's name front the Liturgy, tied therefore
it admits the legality of the proceeding." We de-
light in logical arguments. The Learned Gentle-
man might as well have said, " Y•u speak of me
only as a lawyer, therefore you admit that I am an
excellent astronomer." The Opposition, indeed,
very rudely laughed at his logic, so he left it, and
proceeded forthwith to the law of the case ; but
law, without logic, sounds badly in the way of dis-
cussion. Here, however, lie made another disco-
very, and seriously told the House that if the K two,
fur the time being• bad not the power of omitting
names from the Liturgy, as well as of altering
them, we should now be very piously putting up
erayers for king EDWARD, of glorious memory.—
The AvroaNee-GxeEaat. having meant this for
an urgurneitt, we shall in courtesy admit that it is
one; but we should despair of resromog to any bene-
ficial purpose with a gentleman who cats in sober sad-
ness find no difference between • dead King
end • living Queen, who is admitted by her So-
vereign himself to be the Queen Consort of
Great Britain. Lord CASTREREAGH undertook
to frighten the majority into an acquiescence
in his wishes, for he told them that if they resolved to
restore the Quese's name to the Liturgy, the pre-
sent Ministers would nut be parties to the measure,
thereby intimating that upon the fate of the ques-
tion their places depended. But the House ought
not to have forgotten the similar threat that was
thrown oat upon the question of the-property tax,
and how manfully his Lordship and his colleagues
adhered to the helm of the state amidst all the ago.
flies of defeat. The Noble Lord, if we recollect
rightly, was one of • set of Ministers who on a
particular and memorable occasion stultified them-
selves, and admitted that having lost Mr. Pea-
CEVAI., they were unequal to the task of perm-
isig the empire. Their friend., however, could not
afford to lose them, they were almost compelled to
take greatness upon them," amid now, to do them
justice, the State of the country prover how accu-
rately they had formed an estimate of their ow•
abilities.
The Ministers having, in the discussion of Lord
A. HAMILTON'S motion, exp d their determi-
nation to pursue towards her MAJESTY the system
of punishment which they had commenced, have
thereby discountenanced every hope of seeing the
existing differences in the Royal Family finally and
tranquilly adjusted. They have set the voice of
the people at defiance, and are satisfied to witness
the colitintied irritation of the public mind, rather
than submit to the smallest sacrifice in a matter of
no iiitriosical importunce. We know not, neither
do we much care, what the pecuniary grant may be
which they 1110411 to submit to the House of
Commons cm Wednesday, for money must be a
matter of secomidaiy interest compared with the
•Ilowauce of that respect and observance which
belong of right to her MAJESTY as Queen.
Indeed we cannot conceive how the Ministers
can reconcile the proposal of any allowance
to the QUEEN in tier political capacity, with
their refusal of all those marks of distinction and
honour which appertain to her rank. Her MA-
JESTY is either Queen Consort, or not Queen
(7tnisort ; if she be the Queen Consort, she is by
law and the principles of the Constitution en-
titled to every incident of her rank which was
ever enjoyed by any the moat favoured of
leer predecessors; but if, on the contrary, she
be not Queen Consort, why do the Ministers
propose all establishment fur her under that
denomination ? A distinction is sought to be
drawn with respect to the Queen Consort by
the sole authority of the Crown, which would not
be endured in the case of any other subject filling
• rank in the state recognised by the laws and insti-
tutions of the empire.

If to the tunjosity and minority in the Musa of
Cummins*, on Saturday morning, be added the four
Tellers and the SPNALICIL, the number of Mem-
bers present at the time of the division will amount
to su. The greatest number that the House ever
dixidect was &LC It was remarked, that in the

course of the debate a greater number of Members
wasiptesent. The Observer of yesterday says 576,
the surplus above the number that divided, paired
off, or left the House tired out by the length of the
debate. The sitting of Friday was the longest
of which we have any recollection: business com-
menced at half-past three on Friday and the House
divided at half-past six on Saturday morning, being
continued silting of 15 hour., engaged partly
with Petitions and partly with Lord ARCHIBALD
Flew Live's Motinte but all on the same subject—
the case of the QUEEN. The number of Members
of the House of COlllololl* is, for England and
Wales, 513; Scotland, 45; Ireland, 100 ;—tnial,
659. Of these 134 were absent on the division.
From the active part Mr. WILBERFORCE had !ally
taken in the case of her MAJESTY, great ex-
pectation was excittd by the course which
he should poi see oil the present occasion.—
Mr. 11ILBERFORCE did not speak in the de-
bate, bed he retired before the division.—
Those Gentlemen who are considered his immediate
friends and party remained behind, awl voted, we
understand, against the QUEEN. Mr. C•NNING'S
flietidadid the same. The number' an the
Saturday morning were, for the Adieures.

beis were, therefore, only its the proportion of
to four ; and in the majortty of 101 were 80 Place-
mete Befure the time of Mr. PERCEVA ano Ad-
ministration so feebly supported could stand.
Lord CASTLEREAGH shewed great anxiety during
the eight. At the time of the division he stationed
himself near the lobby, watching, with an inqinsi-
five eye, those who were in the minority. The next
question to he brought forward by the Opposition
is the Marquis of TAYISTOCK'S, for a censure on
Ministers. It mill be followed by another for au
Address to his MAJESTY, praying him to restore
the QUEEN'S slime in the Liturgy.

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday
said Thursday last. The Chamber of Deputies
assembled on Wednesday, but the proceedings had
no rePrenee to any matters of general interest.
The Emperor ALEXANDER arrived at Ltyliach on
the 7th of January ; on the following day the poor
old King of NAPLES entered the town. The EM-
PEROR, apprised of the KING's approach, vent
some distance out of ',Hylton:lt to meet him. The
town was then rapidly tilling with diplomatic cha-
racters from various parts of Eu►ope. It was un-
derstood that the numerous States of Italy would
all send Ministers to the Congress.

General DON ADI &V hos been struck off the list
of Lieutenant-General. disposable for service.
The Gazette Umiverselk of Lyon•, notices the
arrival in that town of a Mr. WEBB, a rich Eng-
lish gentleman, who amused hitusrlf by throwing
pieces of silver from his windows atuong the crowds
drawn together by this singularity. Mr. WEBB'S
vinosity having caused the public tranquillity of the
town to be thatutbrd, the Magistrates required Into
not to exercise it in so inconvenient a Malliltf, nod
Mr. Weirs in consequence left Lyons.
The accounts flout Spain contained in these
Papers are not very interesting. Letters from Vit-
toria mention with an air of importance and mys-
tery, the escape of General QUESADA from his ;place
of confinement in that town. The charge publicly
preferred against this cliicer related only to a slight
breaeh of military discipline.
