If the hitherto received construction of the staitste

a clime against the State, awl to be prosecuted like every
crime of that nature. 1 say, Bleu, the accusation miry
Ue
brought helm e the House, and your Lordships CAIIOOI, in
justice, interpose by secret inquiry, which woultt prejudge
the question ou which your Lordships unity be called to sit
in judgment. The Queen, who came before the House
ill a way no Qttt rut ever came before, begged the House
not to deny her the uppottunity of rehattnig the evidence
against tier. He did not stand forward as the advocate
of the Queen. When clamour arose from opposition to
the principles of justice, i.e should never petit to it ; out
when it arose irons the tear of a violation of justice, it was
not to he despised. Toe Lords, who boasted tr lung line
of glorious ancestors, !should take care they did nut lose
that honour to which they were emitted to by a too
will-
readiuess to second the views of the litiisters of the
Groan. His Ilajts-ty's Ministers had nut only brought
themselves into petit, bat the hottotir of the Grown in

sation against her lilajesty. It they then thought these

judicially. They had prepared their own wottot tises, and
if they had brought the chat eta regialatly befuse Par to &-
Meld, the rptestion by tins time would have been at rest,
and the inconvenience tender which tile country now re-
mained might have been ayes fed. 1t was

arrived in England, (Hear, bear!) Whether the ad-
vice upon which she had acted was good or bad, lie should
not now inquire, but he most solemnly assured the House,
that any circumstances that hail taken place, every mi-
nute detail with respect to the imegociations had been
laid before her Majesty, to establish the conviction o: the
necessity of inquiry, and the Queen had looked at them
with no other feeling. She might, indeed, as the Noble
Lord said, be the first Brunswicker that ever acted in
opposition to Parliament, but it was to be recollected, that
she was the first that ever was placed in such a situation.
Was she to truck and barter about her honour? A titan
could not allow his honour to be compromised, muck less
could a woman permit any accoosinutlation with respect to
hers. (Hear, hear! ) The Hume were now boom' to
look at their stale most scrupulously. They were now
offended with the Queen,and they were shortly to become
her accusers. He besought them to dismiss every feel-
ing of offence. (Hear, hear, hear.) It seemed that the
Noble Lord was to imitroduce some legislative pleasure.
He tlins early laid his claim, in the name of the Qmieen,
to a delay. 'flee Queen was most ready and anxions
to meet the inquiry, but a delay was lir,e,sary, in
consequence of the distance of the scene in a hich
the offences were laid. It was three weeks journey,
and witae,ses must be found. (Hear, hear.) If the
enquiry were to go on at the time propo-ed, the Queen
must sustain great prejudice, as the evidence against h.•r
could be before the public eye, while that evidence which
would go to the estahlisament of her innocence would
be at the distance of many miles. In this statement she of
course did not include the cruss-examitiation of witnesses,
and the effect produced by that. He cmicluded with en-
treating the House to lay their thoughts to those observation'',
and congratulating them upon the chance of an open
Colonel PALMRH said, if, as was the case with regard
to the Doke of Yen k, the country called for inquiry, he
would b.: the filial to vote for it, but in this case the coun-
try was against inquiry, and he should adhere to his deter-
mination.
Mr. WESTERN said he must resist the motion, and on
the ground that the House in consmon with the country,
had declared that the Inquiry never could he gone lido.—
(Loud Cheers.) It had been admitted that the cumulous
charge was capable of adjustment. That was a fatal ad-
mission. After that, how could they proceed ? Hitherto
the House had proceeded in a compatible manner ; but
how were they now placed? They were told that Inquiry
ought not to be—could not lie gone into ; and now they
were desired to agiee to the Motion of the Noble Lord,
which was nothing less than saying that Inquiry ought to
be gone into. (Hear, hear 1) If he instierompil the de.
clared sense of l'ailisinsent at all, it had been as owed by
that House that the Inquiry wits of such a nature that it
could not be, that it ought not to be proceeded in; and
yet what was it that was now asked of them ? It was the
very contrary--(Hear, hear !) He was therefore against
the Motion, because it a mild be giving a sandlots to that
Inquiry a kich all had before declared could nut be pur-
sued. He coujured the House not to luta itself with the
Inquiry, which had been cosoleimied. The Noble Lord
