to certain Bills.

Itt a few minutes the Speaker, allendeil by se-

The LORD CHANCILLOR then read his Majesty'a

The Speaker and the Members of the House of

HOUSE OF COMMONS, Wsobresoar, JULY 11.
At three o'clock the SPEAKER entered the House,
and us soon as prayers were over the gallery was
opened.
The SPEAKER having counted the House, 'hell
took the Chair, and Mr. HUME ro►e to ►peak.
The SPEAKER, however, anannuoced that a mes-
senger from the Navy Prize-office was in attend-
ance, and put the question for las being called in,
which being agreed to. the messenger was called in.
and presented at the bsr certain' returns of revs in
the Prize-office, pursuant to the order of the
House, which were laid on the table.

Mr. HUME then again when he
came doa is to the House yesterday he was not aware,
nor had he haul tune to ir.certititi what was the drci-
*ion of his Majesty's Ministers with respect to the
Queen. Thpy were now within sight days of the
period of the colonation, and it was not yet known
to what situation her Majtaiy was to he placed, as
regarded the part she was to take in that ceremony.
It any thing was calculated to renew that irritatwu
of the public mind which plevailtd alter the proro-
gation of Parliament last year, it was the adoption
of any line of conduct towards her Majesty which
would have the appearance of a renewal of her per-
secution. lie had heard thus morien,i; that at a
meetilig of the Privy Council it load Ewen unani-

SO lone been suisjie;e7l:...ittelot his intention
therefore to move an Address to his Majesty, pray-
ing that if the Queen had not by law a right to
partake in the ceremony of the coronation, as it
was the expectation of the public that she would
take part in it, his Majesty would be graciously
pleased to order that she should be crowned. The
Noble Marquis in that House, and m Noble Lord
in the other, had declared that the fullest justice
would be done to her Majesty, us far as regarded
any claims which the might prefer. It could not
be expected of him that lie thuulil then go over the
whole of the case made out on the port of her Ma-
jesty in support of her claim to be crowned; but
he might be allowed to isay..thet-it was his fair opt-
Mon Shot she had a right to he crowned, and that
her claim lied beemfully established by arguments
drawn from the constant wedge and history of the
country. Her Majesty was placed in a situation
its which no woman before had ever been placed ;
and he (Mr. Hume) considered that Isis Majesty
would consult bus own honour, and that the
dignity of the Crown would be much increased by
acquiescing in this inotinice in the wishes of the
country. By no one act had his Majesty ever done
more to tranquillize and conciliate the public aloud
than he might now effect, if he would by hieown
act, ns a boon if lie pleased so to consider it, place
the Queen in that situation in which lie (Mr. H.)
conceived she bad a right to be placed ; and no-
thing could have a greater tendency to irritate sued
inflame the public mind, than a perseverance in
that midair( which had hitherto been pursued
towards her, by depriving her first of one pri-
vilege, and then of another. It' the public
Ind taken sip and cherished any mistaken idea
that persecution was the object of ail the treat-
ment she had received, How was the tine fur
removing that impression, by laming her in that
situation in which it was his opinion, and that of
the public generally, that she had st right to be
placed. Hr wished to guard against being under-
stood as wishing to make himself u party to any
measure calculated to inflame, or to revive those
feelings which prevailed heretofore. Lt taking the
course which he was now pursuing, he acted front
the conviction that the great body of the people of
England looked upon the Queen as the victim of
persecution—that they viewed as persecution every
step that had been taken to thwart her wishee, or
to incommode her feelings—that they would look
upon the determination to exclude her Majesty
from this last privilege as a coutinuance of the
system of persecutions with which she lint hitherto
been autioyed ; and therefore lie thought that Mi-
Mettle ought toot to persevere its it, but advise his
Majesty to place her, as he had Pistil before, in
thatisituation in which she ought to appear at it.
Her Majesty was the only person of the Royal
Family who did not know in what situation she
wee to be placed ; she was the only one for whom
no preparations had yet been made, no directions
given ; she knew not yet what treatment she had to
expect; and as it was intended to exclude her from
Pity share in the ceremony, it was uncertain whe-
ther it might not also be intended, if she should
present herself es a spectator, to repel her by force
end hostility. Ors the ground of expediency, there-
fore, lie implored! the Molise to consider whefilffr
that was not a proper opportunity for its interfe-
rence, in order to prevent any of those unpleasant
consequences to which soy unseasonable display of
hostile feeling would be but too likely to give rise.
He therefore moved " An humble Address to his
Majesty, preying him to issue his Royal Prods-
minion for the Coronation of her nriesty, whereby
in the opinion of the House he would best consult
the dignity of his Crown, amid the tranquility of
the Metropolis."
While the Hon. Member was yet reading his
motion, the Deputy Usher of the I3lack Roil ap-
peared, and summoned the House in the usual
form to attend the House of Peers, to hear the
Royal Coma:Minot for the prorogation of rerlie-
ment read. The Speaker accordingly withdrew,
followed by several Members.

LON DON,
THURSDAY, JULY 12. 1821.

The Privy Council arsembled on Tuesday for the
purpose of pronouncing its final judgment upon
the Memorial presented to the KING by his Royal
Consort, in which her MAJESTY claimed as of
right that she should be permitted to share in the
lhasour of the coronation. The judgment of the
Council was, in substance, that as it appeared to
the C it that Queens Consort had never been
entitled, as of right, to be crowned at any time,
her MAJESTY was not entitled to the claim speci-
fied in her Memorial. This decision will not, we
think, disappoint any one; for it must be presumed
that the question had been carefully considered
by the Ministers of the Crown before they origi-
nally advised the KING not to divide the honours
of Isis coronation with the QUEEN ; and as the
question must have always been viewed with refer-
ence to the precedents afforded by history, it is
not probable that the King's advisers had in their
previous inquiry omitted the consideration of any


• T

or tiseie piemidtnia rim! in Ole hilie discus-
sion mbutittad to their judgirent by the Queue's
Attorney and Solicitor-General. The point must,
therefore, have been seriously investigated and deter-
mined long before the Queen's Memorial was pre-

ffitTed to the TIINO. It is slid thirt Dottie Meniliits
of tbk Privy Council, who were not also Members of
the Cabinet, entertained sentiments upon this subject
favourable to her. MAJESTY'S claim, but that they
did not ilia proper to attend when the judgreeirt
of the Council was to be formally collected, and
that by this means the decision of the Council was
caused to lie unanimous. We hope that this state•
went is not correct, for it would imply upon the
part of these Right Ron. Personages • flagrant
dereliction of their most sacred duty to their KING.
The first article in the oath of • Privy Counsellor
is, that " be will advise the KING according to the
best of his cunning and discretion ;" and the
seventh, which indeed comprises all the others, is,
that " he will observe, keep, and do all that a
good and true Counsellor ought to do to his Sove-
reign Lord." The question wiring out of the
Qv EEN's Memorial was one of so much interest to the
dignity of the Crown, and perhaps to the perroual
feelings of the Kt NG, that it pleased his MAJESTY to
causes!! the Members of his Council residetig irk or
near the metropolis to be summoned for the pur-
pose of hearing the matter debated, mud of deciding
upon the argument, " according to the best of
their cunning and discretion." Should any of these
Counsellors so invited hesitute to express their sen-
timents upon the matter subjected to their opinion,
because they posstbly might displease the KING, or
give umbrage to any of his Ministers or other per-
sons in authority, they have failed to discharge their
duty " as good and true Counsellors ought to do."
It did not belong to them to calculate upon the
probability of their sentiments being pleasing or
otherwise, nor whethsr they might chimer to be eii-
tettained by the majority or the minority of those
who sat with them in judgment ; an honest Coun-
sellor is bound to give his advice to his Sovereign
fearlessly and faithfully when required to do so, as
he is likewise commanded by every principle of
morality when acting in • judicial capacity to ad-
minister equal justice between all parties. The
Piivy Council with reference to the QuEEN's claim
was constituted as a Court of Justice, in which
every member, was invested with a judicial
character, and they consequently had no more right
to decline pronouncing their judgtuents iudividnally
upon the case before them, then a Judge in the
Court of King's Bench or Common Pleas would
have to reserve his opinion upon any point of law
which in the ordinary 'practice of the Court may
chance to be submitted to the jurisdiction of the
Court.

A copy of Lord SIDMOUTieS letter to the
QUEEN, announcing the decision of the Privy
Council in opposition to her MAJESTY'S claim,
with the answer of her MAJESTY, demanding a
suitable place at the ensuing Coronation, will
be found in another part of our Paper. This
question respecting the absolute right of Queens
Consort to be crowned, must now be considered as
it res► for ever, for it ha. been determined by a
competent jurisdiction, such too as the Queers
herself had chosen for the decision of it. The
right of the QUEEN to be crowned, considered as
a question of law, is essentially distinct from the
question of expediency, with reference either to
the wisdom of the QueeN in demanding it, or the
propriety of the Milliliters in withholding it. The
painful and peculiar situation in which her MA-
JESTY is unhappily placed, in wanting the affec-
tions of her Royal Consort, and in being exposed
through the remissness, if not with the countenance
of the King's Ministers, to the base and unmanly
insults of certain writers in the Treasury Journal.,
who with cruel malignity distort every act of
the Quesx's into some purpose of abuse, seems
to have left her MAJESTY no alternative between
the urging of her solemn claim, and the cer-
tainty of her hiving the omission imputed to her
as an acknowledgment of her unworthiness to psr-
take of so august a ceremony. Her enemies com- '
-pel her by their persecutions to act in a certain
staanuer, and then take advantage of their own con-
duct to upbraid her with the consequence,. They
bunt her into the toils, and reproach the royal
victim with attempting to unravel the meshes of
her captivity. The QueeN, in our opinion, was
not only perfectly justified in urging her claim, but
had she suffered the occasion to pass away without
pressing it in the most sole►nn and formal manlier,
her MAJESTY would have exposed herself to much
cemoire. It was a duty she owed to herself, to her
successors, and to the people of England, and
every thing was done in support of her claim which
could be effected by industry, learning, and elo-
quence. How fur it is proper and expedient in the
Ministers of the Crown to disgrace the Queen
Consort of tl►eir Sovereign so much as to refuse her
an honour never before denied to any Queen Con-
sort of England, in terms too of marked asperity,
amounting even to personal rudeness, we shall not
now consider. It is our opinion, seeing the un-
happy disagreement subsisting between their Ma.

QUEEN, her Majesty ought to have declined it ; but
the Ministers of the Crown have uniformly withheld
from her MAJESTY every appearance orcuurtesy. and
have taken every opportunity, eve►► in Parliament,

too wherein it would be desirable that the Ministers
should deelioe the exercise t‘f that felicitous inge-
nuity winch consists in expressing within a given
number of periods as little us possible. The
Speech compliments the two [louses of Parliament
fur the efficacious manner in which they had pro.
seemed their laborious duties ; but 11v in fact the
two Houses, with no very material exception,
adopted very obsequiously the measures of the
Government, this compliment in troth reverts to
the Cabinet, and the wily praise that falls to the
two [louses is that of having duly appreciated the
wisdom of his hlajest)'s Ministers. The promise
made by the Ministers of effecting some further'
reductions in the public expenditure is repeated in

The House of Commons sat for a few minutes
before the appearance of the Black Rod summoned
the SPEAKER to the Upper House. Of these few
minutes Mr. HUME took advantage for the purpose
of thawing the attention of the House to the
situation in which the QUEEN was placed, sod
concluded some forcible remaiks by moving an
Address to tie KING, Kilying hi, MAJESTY to
issue his Royal Proclamation for the Coronation of
the Quell'. While he was yet reading his motion
the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod entered, and
by summoning the House to hear the proroga-
tion of Parliament read, interrupted all further
proceedings. Mr. Hums had given notice of
this motion on the preceding evening, yet
the SPEARRIL did not think it proper to enter the
House until a few minutes before three o'clock,
which was the hour appointed by the Commis-
sioners fur taking their seats on the Woolsack its
the Upper House. By this means Mr. Hums's,
motion was prevented from being discussed, and
the QUEEN was deprived of the advantages which
she might have hoped to derive from a full coo.
rideration of her pretensions in the House of Coro-
moos. In a simiiar rapiner was her Majesty's
Solicitor... General prevented at the clove of the
last Session of Parliament from reeding to tits
House a Message from her IkliJcsTw, which he
was about to offer to its notice whew hr was inter-
rupted by the entrance of the Block Rod. If
these occurrences were the revolt of coy design or
preconcerted arrangement on the part of her MA..
JEJITY's enemies, they betray a feeling very re.
mute from that minliners of sentiment and con-
duct which ought to distinguish those to whom
the destinies of empires are intrusted.

ment has been propcsed, lauding it to three months
from the commencement of the next Session. The

ON 'Flit DEATH OF MR. 011011101`ilt,
reitom Tait WA swam As Tat u s lust lIIRSODUCII.I
Sian the harp then be silent, wises he, wilts lest gave
To our country a mama, is withdrawn from an eyes?
Shall a minstrel of Erie stead mute by the grave,
Inert the lint—where He last of her patriots lies?
though the death-song mss, fall from his lips,
Tiough his harp, like his soul, may with shadows be
crust,
Yet, yet chap it sowed, 'mid a nation's eclipse,
And proclaim to the world what a star bath been loft !
Whets union of all the affections and powers,
Dir width life is exalted, embernaled, reaped,
its embraced in that spirit, whose centre Vas mini,
While Ks mighty eirtmarereace circled ataakiud,
Oh, who that lutes Esto.‘me who that PR are
Trough the waste of her aortal*, that epoch sublime—
Like a pyramid, reis'd in the desert—where he
MAW, glory stand out to the eyes of all time!
That ono lucid interval, suateli'd from the gloom
Led the asadoms of ages, whew, fill'd with his soul,
A maim tierleap'd the dark bounds of her doom,
And, for oar sacred Imitant, torched Liberty's goal!
Who, that ever bath beard biro—path drank at the source
Of that wonderful clog , all Erin's own,
In whose high thoughted daring, the fire and the force,
And the yet uutam'd spring of her spirit was shown—
As eloquence, rich—wheresoever its wave
Wandered free and triumphant—with thoughts that
shone through,
As clear asihe brook's "stone of lustre," and gave,
With thAnash of the gem, its solidity too.
WU, that ever appeoacled him, when, free from the crowd
la a home full of love be delighted to tread
'Mon the trees which a nation had glen, and which bow'd
as if each brought a new civic crown for his head—
That home where—like hint who, as fables hash told,
Put the rays feast his brew, that his child might come
near,
Every glory forgot, the most wise of the old
Berme all that the simplest and youngest hold dear.

Is there one, who bath this, through his orbit of life,
Rot at distance observed biro—ihro' glory, they' blame,
to the calm of retreat, io the grandeur of strife;
Whether shining or clouded, still high sod theme-•

Such a union of aH that enriches life•s boor,
Of the asteetnem see love and the greatness we praise,
As that type of simplicity blended with power,
A data with a thooderbult only pourtrays.

Ow, no! rota heart that e'er knew him, but mourn,
Deep, deep o'er the grave where suck glory is shvin'd—
O'er a monument Fame will preserve 'along the urns
Of tlis wisest, the bravest, the best of mankind !.
