Mr. ‘VARREN said, that at present there were one
hundred causes in sneer in Middlesex, and two
hundred in the city of Loudon, and therefore the
object of the Bill was an excellent one, namely, to
&foolish. that anew, by enabling two Judges to dis-
patch that business which before was assigned to
nue only. He did not say that his Honourable and
Learned Friend might not introduce hereafter some
measure of a more extensive maitre, bet that wee not

was to Ire but temponsry; he (the Attorney-General)
lord 'tined, that its the Committee he should move
a clause to limit the continuance of the Bill to two
years, and some speedy application to the mischief
was wanting. The opening of the Court of Exche-
quer was a project that would require long delibe- •
ration before it could be reduced to practice. He
would have thought, had it not been fur the direct

in the knowledge of every professional person,
that in the yeur 1813, Ilse same complaint now
made of the King's Bench was made of the Court
of Chancery—that there was an immense orrear of
business. A remedy was in consequence adopted,
and one precisely similar to that at present recom-

air. Locitnanreaid, that the remedy proposed
by the Attorney-General was calculattd to make
the public hear for some time much greater hard-
ship and inconvenience than that existing, by con-
tinuing the hearing of minor causes before suptrior
jurisdiction., to the great delay and expense of
of the suitor, through the high price of stamps and
other closes. Ile was totally averse to palliatives ;
if toliipted, the .consequence would be, that we
should hire sight of ulterior remedies,. By the pre-
sent law above twenty persons were employed in
deciding one cruse, involving no greater interest
than 406.—( Herr.)—lt was scarcely attended with
less labour and trouble than a contested election.
But this smeared to be a mockery of justice. One
material objection to the measure ass this, the
Kisagi Bench was the supreme Court of criminal
jurisdiction in the kingdom. At all times, but of
late in particular, it was greatly employed in the
adjudicatioo of political causes. Now some leisure
and relaxation were absolutely necessary to the
learned individuals who presided therein, to enable
them to preserve that t quable temper and calm-
ness of mind and feeling, su desirable and resent'sl
to the impartial ex' tttttt ation and determination"
of such questions.—( I /ear, hear.)—But by the
machinery of this Bill, the fatigue to which
they were even already always exposed would
be inereaseti. and Dot one of them would be heft,
with * mites' tiny and unembarrased to collie to

and Learned Friend (Jr. Sestlett), end I.e
thought with him, that the only effectual remedy
was to rid use Court of tlso.e frivolous causes which
could only disgust the Judges, mid provide some
cheaper jurisdiction for their adjudication.
Mr. CM:MY ND (we understood) observed, that
the Bill imposed additional duties on the Pulsate
Judges of the King's Bench, without granting
them Noy retuunerat . They were already over-
whelmed with busbies,, sod he hoped the time was
• not far disbud when a proposition far the 'aug-
mentation of their present very ioadequiste salaries

authority—(hear, hear.)—There were various

saved to the Court by a clause iu the Bill eine

for that purpose ill the ensuing Term. Our-fourth

taken up with the pronouilcitig of those judge
merits; and it was also attended with inconceivable
hardships to defendants. The Hun. and Learned
Gentleman then cited exiimples ist support of the
loot position. Ile entertained no disrespect fur the
office of Attorney-Gerwrol, and he believed that
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman who filled that
office at present, exercised its duties with • very
humane discretion. The adoption of this sugges-
t' would produce a material alteration arid mune-
hormone is, the conducting barium its the Court.
It would remove a lieisey hurtles' from the subject,

Mr. MAN felt the strongest objections to the
measure. At lino it was intended to be permanent ;
slow, however. it was proposed to make it only tempo-
rary : un tither supreittoo hr must 'wow: it. If
permanent. it went to effect on Attention in the
constitution of the Cosset; sr temporary. it was an
experiment on the course of the adusinistlatioes of
justice, Ilion which nothing was more nrischievour.

tually silting iii r state of idleness. he thought
'More good reuse would be Aeon in endeavouring
to bring the alleged accumulating business to them,

be erected would remain idle at& the Common

should have opportunities not only fur relaxa-
tion, but cultivatiori.--(Hear, hear. hear.).
But thus Bill threw new labour on them. The
exerts of bweiriess was no fault in the Court. If
the suitor come there, where was most to be done
before, he must subunit to the common rule in

Lumen affairs ; there, as elsewhere, it would he.flrst
come first served. He was glad to see that certain
provisions of the Bill he had submitted to the
House last rear were, introduced into that of
his Honourable and Learned Friend. He sag-
rotted that defendants might be allowed t•
plead to indictrients before one of the Judges
instead or in open Court. as an expedietrt to lave

passing sentence on defendant' convicts.d on cir-

very trifling. Should there he (lie vontinesed) from

give his voice against it.—/Near, hear.)

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, Julie el. 1820.

The Papers relating to the ►event negocistions
between the confidential Servants of the KING and
the Law Officers of the QUEEN having been printed
by order of the House of Commons, we are this day
enabled to present them to our readers. They con-
sist, as we stated yesterday in our Parliamentary
report, of copies of notes addressed by her MAJEs-
TY's command to the Earl of LIVERPOOL, and of
his Lordship's answers, together with protocols of
the conferences which were held for the adjustment
of the painful differences subsisting in the Royal
Family, between the Duke of WELLINGTON and
Lord CASTLEREAGII upon the part of the KING,
and Mes►rs. BROUGHAM and DENMAN on behalf of
the QuEEN. There is also a copy of the rnernorait-
dun' addressed by the Earl of LtYstEroor. to Mr.
BauvonAst, dated the 15th of April, containing
an exposition of the terms upon which its MAJESTY
would consent to recommend to Parliament the
expediency of settling an annuity on the QUEEN of
so,nuol., •'to be enjoyed by her MAJESTY during
hrr natural life." The conditions required from
her MAJESTY were nearly the same as were con.
witted in Lord ..1-luTctit resort's letter and could
not but be considered ignominious and insulting
to the QuSEN, and by Ito means honourable to the
character of her Royal Consort. The annuity was
to be settled upon her MAJESTY " in lieu of any
" claim in the nature of jointure or otherwise, pro.
vided she will engage not to come into any part
" of the British dominions, mud provided she en.
" gages to take some other name or title than that
" of Queen ; and not to exercise any of the rights
" or privileges of Queen, other than with respect to
" the appointment of Law Officers, or to any pro-
" ceedings in Courts of Justice." The annuity
was to cease upon the violation of any of these en-
gagements. Her MAJESTY was thus to debar her-
self from entering any part of the British terri-
tories, not only during her husband's life, but
for sill future time; for by giving up her claim to
the jointure or dower settled upon her by Act of
Parliament, in the event of her surviving her Royal
Consort, her MAJESTY would render herself de-
pendant for ever upon the annuity now proposed to
be settled upon her on the conditions specified.
pier MAJESTY was also to renounce for ever her
name and dignity, and all the rights and honours
that belong to her Royal state—she was not to be re•
ceived publicly by the British Ambassadors in fo-
reign countries, nor at foreign Courts—site was, in
fact, to be not only an exile, but a dishonoured
exile—and such a sacrifice of country, title, dig.
.city, end fame, was to be rewarded with au annuity
of 50,0001. ; not to be paid by those who demand-
ed the sacrifice, but, upon their recommendation.
by the overburdened people of England. This
note bears date the 15th of April, yet. strange as
it may appear. it was never submitted to the
QUEEN until after her MAJESTY'S arrival in Lon-
don. This circumstance will perhaps account at
once for the Quzaw's rapid and perhaps unex-
pected journey to London, and also for the appa-
rent precipitancy with which the Ministers of the
Crown advised his MAJUTT to send a Message to

,

the two nooses of Parliament, referring the while
subject to their consideration. The QUEEN was in
ignorance of the intentions of the Ministers until
she was met by Lord 1-11LTENINSON at St. Omer.,
arid the necessary silence observed by her MAJESTY
was nalwrolly saassaken by her opposientsas a cons
temptuous refusal to enter into soy urgocistion.
It is evident from the correspondence which pre.
ceded the conferences that her MAJESTY felt Au
willingness to submit in every respect to the auto,..
rity of Parliament, however she might brineo.t the
mode of proceeding by secret inquiry. In express-
iiig her desire, therefore, to receive any comisitioi.
cations upon the matter in dispute from the corr.
delitial Servants of the KING, her MAJESTY o
influenced solely by the understood visitor of •
House of Commons, that her situation might
made the subject of amicable adjustment. flea
her MAJESTY pointedly apprised Lord LIVEI:-
POOL, in her Dote of the 10th (No. 111.1 that sue
would entertain no proposal that was nut consisten:
with her dignity sad honour, and 66 ohm the recog-
tuition of her rank and privileges as Qv Lex must he
the basis of any arrangement which could lie
made." We entreat owe readers to hear iiiiq
eurnstanee in mind, as it will rescue her M :Y's
official advisers from a charge that has been moo!
illiberally and falsely thrown upon them by a Mi-
nisterial Paper, that in the conferences they depart.
ed tram the hoe which had been previously isre-
scribed,and insisted as the broad' negociatioa mewl
grounds which they knew to be inadmissible. But
when the Earl of LavEttroor. closed with the
QuEex's proposition—that her MAJESTY was wil-
ling "to leave every thing to the decision of sot•
person or persons of high station and character
whom both parties may concur in naming, and
%bushel, have authority to prescribe the particular,
as to residence, patronage, and income"—his Lordship
must, of cowrve, have so meted with it fall knowledge
of the conditions annexed by the WEE% to this mode
of arbitration. Her MAJESTY had previously de-
elated that no proposal could be elitertaiued, toileirs
her rook and privileges as a Queen were fully re-
cognised, and with respect to olli.:r tnattert, her
MAJESTY especially declares, that " they are of
comparatively little importance." The woad, of
the note (No.V.) are, .6 Her MAJESTY'S di:;iiity
and honour Mug secured, she regards all other mat-
ters as of comparatirely little importance, as !lie is
willing to leave every thing," &e. The points
then whirl' her MAJESTY is willing to kart
to arbitration are not " her honour and slignity;' the
full recognition of which she takes care shall form
the basis of any negociation; but she consents " to
leave to the deeivion of any person or persons of
high rank or character," natters which are to her
of " comparatively little importance," namely,
those points which are connected with " residence,
patronage, and income." I•s it then fair to censure
her MAJEsTY's official advisers with having wan-
tonly deviated from the course to which their dim-
triows client had previously consented, if they en-
deavoured, as they were in duty bound, to mike
" the fall recognition of her ru►k and privileges as
a QUEEN the basis of negociation ?" How could
they proceed to discuss questions of " residernx.
patronage, and income"—those matters of "compa-
ratively little imps:retainer," if in so doing they
waived the honour and dignity of the QUEEN, and
permitted her to leave the country in uncrowned
Royalty—a nameless exile—deprived of her repu-
tation, unprotected by her own country, and ex-
posed to insult io another—branded with the con-
fession of her own shame, bust loaded with the di,- ,
graceful purchase-Lumley of her rank, honour, and
character ?

It was in consequence of this feeling that in the
conferences which took place upon this painful and
delicate subject the question of the annuity or of
the pecuniary compensation was at the QUEEIes
desire omited altogether from forming any part of
the arrangement. Her MAJESTY submitted to Itot
conference upon grounds exclusively public, and
upon the understood wishes of the House of Com-
mon•, but would not suffer the result to depend
upon any considerations of a pecuniary nature.
This firmness on the part of her MAJESTY, upon
a point which her enemies and accusers would make
no concession, bespeaks no consciousness of guilt,
as it evinces no apprehension of the fullest inquiry
into her conduct. Iler MAJESTY would not so far
forfeit her own or her husband's honour ss to be
satisfied with escaping trial, unless it was accompa-
nied by the fullest recognition of her royal rank
and dignity. She would consent, indeed, to reside
ins foreign country for motives derived exclusively
from circumstances of political expediency, but
her residence should be that of a Quash, &iv--
rounded by the splendour of Royalty, sod honour-
ed by the respect and attention of the Sovereign of
the country which she might honour by hes pre-
sence—not the retreat of dishonour, the refuge ail*
self-reproving guilt, where earn her personal
convenience alight depend upon the caprice of
an Ambassador, or the enmity of some Court
favourite, and where the appearance of splen-
dour could have no other effect than to render
infamy more conspicuous. In cousenting to retire
from the country, her MAJESTY could not but hove
that the Miuisters of the Crown would make such
concessions as should save her reputation and their
Master's honour, and for the attainment of this ob-
ject her MAJWITY'S official advisers suggested either
that her name should be restored to the Liturgy,

•

or that her MAJESTY'S residence abroad might be
rendered consistent with the recognition of her
rights and the vindication of her character ; but
upon neither of these points would his MAJESTY'S
Ministers make any concession. The negociations
therefore failed in obtaining that happy result which
had been fondly anticipated by, we believe we
might s•y, every individual in the country.
The discussions, however, have not been alto.
Replier useless to the QUEEN. Fier MAJESTY has
evinced every disposition to save Parliament and
the country from the painful and dangerous-discua-
sions of subjects, which, as they relate to Royalty,
-., ought to be kept sacred from the eye of vulgar
curiosity. Her MAJESTY'S rank and title hove in
the course of the negriciation been fully recog-
nised. The Ministers of the Crown have apolo-
gised to her for the neglect with which they treated
her MAJESTY on her return to England, and offered
that a ship of war should be at her -MAJESTY'S
command, with all suitable honours, in the event
of her desiring to reri•it the Continent. They
offered to apprise the Government of whatever
State litr MAJESTY might choose for her resi-
dence, of her legal title to the rank of QUEEN,
and that the offices of the British Government
should be employed with all foreign States to se-
cure to her MAJESTY every possible personal con-
venience and protection, either in travelling or in
fixing her residence; and even consented to pro.
pose ailarcsses of thank to her MAJESTY in both
!louses of Parliament, in conjunction with similar
addresses to the KING, for having consented to in-
stitute the negociations for au amicable adjustment.
Cuti those Ministers who make these oilers of a
very large annual income, with such honours,
believe that the QUEEN is guilty of what they
allege against her? The wise and benevolent
rule of British law holds every individual
to he innocent until proved guilty ; but never
slid there appear a case of alleged criminality,
which, from its peculiar circumstances, so strongly
and emphatically demands the fullest extension of
this principle than the ease now pending of het.
Majesty the QUEEN of England.

Mr. WILIMFORCZ gave notice yesterday even-
ing in the House of Commons, that he will tins
evening submit a motion relative to the unhappy
differences subsisting in the Royal Family, which,
in his mind, will have the effect of removing the
difficolties in the way of an amicable adjustment
which arose in the recent negociations. The Hon.
Geotleman did not explain the nature of his mo-
tion, but it is believed that it will be for an Ad-
dress to the QUEEN, praying her MAJESTY to waive
her demand for the restoration of her name to the
Liturgy. The expression of the wishes of the
itmise of Commons will, we doubt not, be • law
to the QUEEN ; the 'tomer therefore ought to be
exercised cautiously and sparingly. But as the diffi-
culties in 11w way of an malleable adjustment depend
as much upon the one part as upon the other, we
would suggest the expediency of addressing the
KING miller than the QUEEN upon this subject,
and preying his MAJESTY to remove all diffiul&
ties, by restoring the QUEEN'S name to the Li-
turgy.

We hope that some Member of either House
will move for a copy of the instructions transmit-
red to British Ministers at Foreign Cou►ts, regu-
lating their conduct towards the QUEEN.

Paris Papers of Saturday last have arrived at our
office. An article from Leghorn, Julie 2, states,
Ow According to a letter received from the A me-
(10111 Consul at Algiers, that Regency is fitting
out an armed squadron, composed of three cor-
vettes, two briKe, a polacre, and a schooner. The
DET has assured the American Consul that this
squadron, ',Lich is now ready to put to sea, is not
destined agaiiht any Christian Power, and that
under all circumstances it will respect the American
flag."
Some popular disturbances hare, it seems, oc-
curred at Brest, of a character similar to that
of those which agitated the capital; bat at Brest,
es at Paris, the active zeal and energy of the
troops quickly diverted the ►ioters and restored
tranquillity. The towns of and Rennes were
6170 disturbed for souse short time with the cries of
Vies rEaspertar !--A bas Lewis! Some persons
have been arrested.

The Chamber of Peen met on Friday in the
bureaus, to examine the project of the Election
Lew, and afterwards formed in general assembly
fur the purpose of dircusaiug the principle of the
measure. The Chamber. however, deputed from
the order of the day, and appointed a Committee to
examine the project and report to the Chamber.
The Budget still continues to occupy the Chain-
her of Deputies. During the sitting of Friday,
the state of the clergy in France was made the sub-
ject of some discussion. The estimate fur the
r•tnbli•hrd clergy of the Church of Rome, amounts
"3 -2.2,1)1)0,000 fr. (941,0001.) which was granted
lit' the Chamber. The Minister of the Interior then
demanded • sum 1)1' 600,000 fr. (25.000/4 for the
Protestant clergy, and further required that the esti-
mate should he augmented by • sum of 60,000 fr.
(2,5000 for the repair of Protestant churches. He
stated, that " the Protestant religion is organised

of which are in wont of repair. Thu; art /06DY

places where, fur want of churches, the service of
religion is celebrated in the open air." This esti-
mate was granted without the slightest opposition.
The fu►ther discussions were adjourned to Saturday.
The French Funds are improving:—Five per

The Dublin Evening Pust of Saturday contains
• letter from Mr. D. O'CoNuat.t., winch states,
that the Roman Catholic Committee, appointed to
consider ■nd report a fit person to present their
Petition to Parliament, passed a series of resolu-
tions :
" 1.1. That a Delegation from the Committee should wait
on Mr. Plunkett, respectfully to inqiiire if he mink' sop.
port the prayer of sour Petition for relief, unconnected
and unqualified by, any ecclesiastical restrictions or regu-
lations.

6' 2.1. That such Delegation should report he 'trifle° to
the Committee the answer of Mr Plunkett.
" 311. That in case Mr. Plaskett should not think fit to
give a distinct answer in Um affirmative, the Committee
would report the Knight of Kerry• as a fit person to present
our Petition."

Mr. O'CONNELL adds, that the deputation did
wait upon Mr. ()Limiter? and received his written
gnawer, but that it is not an affirmative answer, or
any thin like one, as required by the first Resolution.
A promise was given that Mr. PLUNKETT'S answer
should not be made public. Mr. O'CONNELL,
therefore, cannot publish what it is—he can only
state what it is not.
