putting into his mouth words which it might very
well answer the purposes of their argument that he
should hive used.— (I nigher. end heir. hear.)-.
He had no recollection of having aude'use of any
of the eiiiressimis ottributed to him by the Hon.
Member who lied just sat down.
Mr.tivurroot ogaih rose and said, that the only
expression which lie had alluded to as coming from
the Noble Lord himself, was that which he had
addressed to the Member (us Essen, censuring as
irregular the practice of making observations on
the contents of petitions when brought up to be
iireteuted. what be had said of the lion,

expression lied been used, which was generally
supposed to 'receitt its instructions from some
part of the Ad • 'Oration, sad was well known
to echo their sentiments.

The Petition was then read rod ordered to lie on
the table, and to be printed.
Atr. Baum of (Wiltshire) presented a Peti.
lion hem the comity which he had the honour to
represent, most respectably arid numerously signed,
preying the House to take measures to secure •
suitable provision for the Queen, and to restore her
Majesty's name to the Liturgy. He had under.
nikirti to present the Petitions, in consequence of
having been so requested by his coustituesits;
but in addition to that, lie thought it necessary
to add, that the presenting of it was perfectly
consonant with his own inclinations; otherwise be
did not undertake to say, that he would have pre-
eented it, as he did not like to deany thing eon.
teary to his own inclinations. He took that oppor-
tunity of commenting on the very ungracious
dismissal of the House at the close of the Session,
no provision having been made for her Majesty, and
her rine having been left iu • state which could be
considered neither as conviction or acquittal, to the
injury end oppreision of the Queen, and the disturb-
ance of the peace of the country. For from that sus.
'weer of justice to her Majesty, the people bad in-
(erred that other measures of prosecution were still
to be used egainet her. The petitioners, and lie
Accorded with their sentiments, prayed that the
House would allow no further proceedings to be
instituted against her, as they considered diet in she
eye of law or of justice her Majesty had been fully
acquitted. Whatever opinion might be entertain-
vd '<welting the latter point, all parties were now
agreed that it was high time to put at end to those
moot odious proceedings. lie hoped, indeed, that
the *iteration of (he House would be no longer dr-
, tented upon -mach a painful and unprofitable sub-
ject, at • time when it was so much called for by
the state of the country, sod the sufferings so pa-
tiently borne of a truly brave and loyal people,
There was not • mere loyal county in Great Britain
than that of Wiltshire. He hoped if Ministers re-
tained any feeling 'either or respect for the honest
of the. Crown, dr regard for the condition of the
people, or teen for their own characters, they
would endeavour to tiring to an immediate rod all
diseussiou, bickering. and division upon that moat
odious subject.
The Petition was bronglit up, and ordered to be
printed.
Mr. TENN YININ presented a Petition to the earn*
effect front Great Grimsby. It prayed the House
to prevent soy further proceedings frail being in.
abased egiinst the Queen, and that tlio House
%stupid provide her Majesty with a residence end a
provision suitable to her rank. lie was glad to be
ennobled to inter from the der:lmams made by the
Noble Lord (Castlereagh) yesterday, that diecuesiou
would be rendered norien. The Petition pray-
ed also for the :monition of her Majesty's name to
the Liturgy. He remembered that the Noble
Lord lied urged as a restos' for the alteration of the
form in the Liturgy, that there were grave charges
pending against her Majesty, and the Government
had deemed it inadvisable to 'dace her tome any
where from whence it was likely lobe removed sub- ,
sequently through the issue of the trial. The No-
ble Lord wait, no doubt. sincere iii dud declaration.
It followed as a natural consequence, that now
when the proeecutiou had failed, the name would
be restored, Nod every thing else he done for her
Majesty's interests which. justice end the consults-
lion directed.
The Petition was ordered to be printed.
Mr. Huns presented similar Petitions from
Aberdeen, Banff, Arbroath, Annan, and several
other places. While the 4esefte was teeming with

lienaeuisry hinguage, the Hots. Gentlemen, wlicda
be was proud to aill his fnend, was representative
of Devizes; but in fact lie only represented some
twenty or thirty Aldermen who returned him.--
These petitioning inlisbibuits of Devises, there.
fore, had no right to expect support from the Re..
presentative of the Aldermen. This Petition. and
tor circunotences of presoutiog it, claimed parti-
cular otteution: it was altogether • very happy
illustration of the Nubie Lord's (Castlereagh's)
declaration of confidence in the support of thee
House mud the country, which he mode lust slight.
The Noble Lord was secure of the support of the
House. while it should be chosen as at present;
and here come a must apt illustration of the 'ea-
tionobleness of the Noble Lord's hope,. in having
the support of the country. The Noble Lord had
the support of the Corporation, of Devizes. But
what said the people of Devizes ?—(Cheers)—
What were the sentiments of the people there ?
..r(Hear,hetn)—The people expressed the strongest
censure mid abhorrence of the conduct of
Ministers. Would the Noble Lord say that
he had confidence in the support of the people
et
Devizes?—(Cheers and tateglner.)—So much fur
the proofs of the support which the country was
willing toiroid to the Noble Lord end Isis colleagues.
He (Mr. Gordon) was much more the
naive of Devizes than the Honourable Member
who presented the Petition, as he represented
borough in another part of the county, to the suf-
frages of which the freeholders hod access. He
concluded by giving the Petition his moot cordial
support.

Mr. P►Aasa contended that he had us good a
right to have an opinion as those who had signed
the Petition. They had been represented as per-
sons of great conseqience. That he denied; there
was note considerable man amongst them. Those
who. from the super►ority of their minds, were most
entitled toconsideration in the neighourhood, had
not meddled with the subject. end were wholly
without influence in the place. He denied that the
unto hers it► Devizes were greater on the side of the
Petition than the adherents of Ministers. He com-
plained of misrepresentation es to the number of
Aldermen who returned the Members. The fran-
chise was confined to the Corporation, consisting of
the Mayor end 'tsetse Aldermen, and these were his
Constituents.

Sir F. 13URDgTT could not see that any very
great injury lied been done to the Hon. Member,
by representing his constituents to amount to
thirty-six, instead of twelve. The fret was, the
Mayor and twelve Aldermen, were opposed to four
hundred inlisleitento of the same town ; and this he
took to be a very fair specimen of the state of the
country on all such subjects. The only ground of
complaint was, that the number of constituents
which the Gentleman opposite so faithfully aid
respectably represented, bad not been rated suffi-
ciently low. He hoped that the prayer of the
Petition would be yielded, that the House might
be enabled to bestow its undivided attention ott the
most important subjects, conoected with the va-
rious interests of the country, which so imperiously
demanded it. He thought the distinct and ex.
plicit declaration of the Noble Lord (Castle-
reagh). that DO further proceedings would be set on
foot against his Majesty,weitt near to reader all far-
ther discussion unnecessary. If that were really
The case, it would be most consoldtory for the count•
try to know it ; if it were really so, nothing could
be of more easy and desirable performance than
for the Noble Lord immediately to carry into effect
the declaration which he had made. The prosecu.
Lion which had beets so unfortunately undertaken,
had zompletely broke eleven, as that the prosecutors
had become silidenedtaproceed, and the Bill was
accordingly abandoned. It was most unfair to
allow the Queen to suffer after that, as if her
geult *ere still questionable. It was cruel to leave
any aspersions on her character after the failure of
Shad Bill. He considered that what he wise saying
should be cousonant with the feelings of those who
were called the exclualaely loyal. He could think
' of nothing snore chsloyel than to confiner to perse.
cute or degrade a person of her Majesty's ranks
contrary to the decisions of law and jointer. Next
to the misfortune of hating instituted the ',memo..
Sion of her Majesty (coot:truing which the Noble
Lord must now lament that he had toot availed
v self of the admonitions of the House against
their introduction), hecould conceive nothing more
eilifortuseate than fur the Queen to have been left as

Mr. &W I'? wished to say a word or two in
reply to what had passed on ilia Tetitiou which he
had presented. Though he was sent by the Mayor
and twelve Alelerinen of Mrizes. he wos not sent
merely to represent those persons, but thrisse of he

terests of the whole empire under his pecobsr care.

• sir FRANCts BURDETT would add oohing to
the explanation which had been given as to the
number of constituents, Aldermen of Devizes.
A much mote important subject for explanation
14y in the assertions of the Noble Lord, which he
did not so readily understand. He could not com-
prehend the exact import of the term •' position
of the determination of his Majesty'. Goveriinseiit
respecting the Queen." He wished to know how
the House were to apply the declaration in which
that phrase was contained as to the question of
restoring her Majesty's name to the Liturgy.
Lord CASTLEREAGH again enured the House
that there was no intention of substituting any
other prosecution for that which had already come
to en rod. It did not follow, however, that the
name of her Majesty was to be restored to the
Liturgy.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that he perfectly under-
stood the declaration of the Noble Lord. The itt-
trillion of Ministers was, that all proceedings against
her Majesty, in the w•ay of trial, should be at an
raid—(Hear,fseor,from the Ministerial side)—but
all proceedings which had been adopted in the way
of punishment were to be continued—(Laved
Owes, from the t Ipposition side)—as if no trial
had taken place—(Hear, hear)—as if no acquittal
had ensued—(Load cheers)—as if trial had been
carried on to conviction.—(Cheers.)
Lord C•STLEREAGII said, that it did not follow
that punishment was intended, because his Mai.
jesty's Government did not think it advisable to
withdraw an arrangement which had been deli-
berately determined on.
Lord JOHN Russabt. reminded the House, that
the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had given as a rea-
son for withholding the Queen's name from the
Liturgy, that there were grave charges pending
against her Majesty. Did nut this fairly lead to
the conclusion, that on the failure of those charges
her Majesty should be restored to all the honours
and privileges which belonged to her exalted alas
non ?
Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a Petition from ll-
cheater, praying the House to take measures for
causing her Majesty'. name to be restored to the
Liturgy, said replacing her in the possession of her
rights and dignities; also, that this Honourable
House would institute au inquiry into the condott
of the Milan Commission. and other agents em-
ployed in attempting the ruin and degradation
of her Majesty, and cause punishment to be
visited on those who bad injured her. Would
to God that the prover of these petitioners could
be granted 4 But of that there could be no hope
while the House was constituted as at present
by so small • coustituent body. If Ministers un-
derstood the true interests of the State, they would
attempt a remedy fur the deficiency of the represen-
tailors. The day would probably come when that
which had been demanded loudly mud generally,
must be granted rashly and precipitantly; whereas
it was in their power to do it at present as is ought,
carefully and gradually. After some observations
'an the ungracious and unexpected manner io which
the Parliament had been prorogued, when it was
understood thst (the prosecution having failed) her
Majesty would be immediately restored to her
rights and dignities, and provided for iu a mutable
manner, the Petition was brought up.
Lord CASTLEREAGH repeated liis former ems's.
nation respecting the late prorogation. lie could '
but have intimated that the House would monism
to sit in order to provide for the Queen's allowance,
because he had never had each au impression on his
mind. On the contrary, he had appealed to a
Noble Lord opposite for proof of the conviction
which must have existed. that Parliament would
not continue to sit in case the Bill should be thrown
oat of the Upper House. On that condition he
had given the House to understand that the call of
the House which had been ordered would be aban-
doned. He thought that circumstance of itself
would prove that there was Ho design that Parlia-
ment should continue to sit in order to provide fur
her Majesty.
Lord FoLKSToNg had not made the same infer-
ence from the conclact of the Noble Lord as that
which he had just described. The Noble Lord
had assuined that the House must have known that
it was not to sit to provide for the Queen. because
the call of the llo•ise was 4111 re, 1•111 4101141410111 to
be abonilourd. The call of the House was not ne-
cessary for carrying the provision for her Majesty
into effect. The lloisse . was to deliberate on that
very subject in a few days, without soy call having
been ordered. There was, indeed, • very full
',Waiter, which proved beyond doubt, that a call
of a certein mature had take', place—(fiearl—
which call would have been mikes effective iu No.
vember than st•was now. His Lordship concluded
with sonic other observations iu defence of the con.
