been exhausted. He was aware that great evils resulted
from the uncertainties which had unavoidably hung about
the period of discussion; and which mast continue till
the wisdom of Parliament shooed have come o tsonse deci-
sion on the subject; and he therefore hoped that no con-
sideration would induce the Hon. Member to postpone
his intended motion beyond to-morrow. The evils of
delay were incalculable.—(Hear, hear !)
Mr. WILBERFORCE said, that be would to-morrow,
satisfactorily explain why he bad isked for delay.—
(Hear! )
Mr. TIERNEY observed! that he had thought he pos.
sessed some idea of what the Hon. Member's intentions
were; but he was now In doubt whether he bad realty
any decisive information on the subject. was at all
events anxious that there should be some end pat ro this
most unpleasant discussion. He could assure the Noble
Lord and others, that he would not consent adjournment
beyond to-morrow ; if it were asked, he would take the
f the House, Whether it should be granted.—(Loud
cheers )
Lord A. HAMILTON said, the nature of the motion
which intended to make was fur Copy of the Order in
Council under which her Majest's name was erased from
the Liturgy.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that though be felt the Import-
since of every boar's delay, he would not oppose the request
that had been made ; but he did hope that delay would not
be required beyond to-morrow.—(Hear hear.)—lt was the
fullest anxiety of the Queen and her advisers that there
should not be delay.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. SCARL ETT could not agree that the only alternative
which was left to them, in the event of an lion. Member's
( Mr. W.'s) motion being rejected, was to proceed to enquiry.
He did not thiuk so, and he believed many othen entertained
a similar opinion 4—for whether that motion were rejected
or not, he sad others thought that the Home never could
adopt the proposed enquiry, (cheers)—that the House
never could sanction the species of enquiry which it had
desired that they should adopt. (Continued cheering).
Lord CAS I'LEREAGH moved, that the Order of the
Day, for resuming the adjourned debate be read, for the
purpose of postponement. Agreed to, and the debate ae-
cordiugly adjourned till to-morrow.

Soon after I o'clock Mr. WILBER/POW-2 rose amidst
load cries of bear. He began by assuring the Howe, that
he felt most deeply the weight of the ►arden be bad ua-
dertaken ; that is fact, the task was of es painful a na-
ture, that nothing but an imperious same of duty could
have induced Mai to place himself in a situation of such
heavy responsibility. He rejoiced is having received
the suppert of the Moose open making his proponition,
and be still emagratalated himself upon the pennuion
that all the Members of it were animated by a desire to
prevent that fatal inquiry which he feared would take
place if the motion he had to submit was not adopted.—
The Hon. Gentleman thee stated the progress of the Ne-
sedation between his Mojesty's Minlsters, and her Ma-
jesty's Counsel. With respect to the insertion of her
Majesty's nom in the Calendar, he begged to be consi-
dered as being far from undervaluing this point. It did
not strike Itiin as fairly applying to any religious view of the
subject, bet her Majesty considered It as one or the essen-
tial argumeutl against a just estimate of her character
by foreign aations. This was a easetry, in which, be
thanked God, all religious distinctions were nearly done
away, and the inhabitants we►e allowed to offer up their
prayers in whatever words and form they pleased. Nobody
could say, that when the King nod the rest of the Royal fa-
mily were prayed for, her Majesty was not included.—(Cries
of No, Nol)--Had those he addressed ever beard all the
Royal Family named without thinking of the Qneeo.--(A
laugh and ages of bear I)—It was certainly sometimes the
practice to specify the Eames of different members of that
family after that of the King ;but he was sere that the
Heir Presumptive (the Duke of York) would waive the
privilege at the wish of Parliament. It could not be con-
sidered that her Majesty was excluded from the prayers of
the people. Indeed, the best proof of that wa., (but the
conferences virtually admitted it. He granted that the ono-
insertion of her Majesty's mane was not so respectful as that
mode of recognition so strongly pressed by the Queen's Law
Officers; but the object of the House, In promoting ans.
concessions, was to avoid that fatal green bag.—(A
nod cries of hear.)—The Hot,. Gentleman here spoke of the
bad tendency oflidicrons asseciations, and assured the House
I though there might have been a smile upon his lips, there
was a pang at his heart.—(Hear, bear.) The Honourable
Gentleman concluded, after having declared that her Ma-
jesty had acted with great courage in her own vindication,
with moving, that an humble Address be presented to her
Majesty, stating, that the House felt unfeigned regret nt the
failure of the late endeavours to obtain an amicable adjust-
ment of existing differences; thus they were fully sensible
of the ohjections of her Majesty to take upon herself the re-
linquishment of any rights and privileges she plied possess,
but that after such large advance% had been mile by his
Msjesty's Ministers towards an arrangement, such relisi-
yoishment must he regarded as peculiaily necessary, that
her 'Majesty hook, not he considered as shrinking flout eu-
(oily by the adoption of such a course, but as rafolding
proof of her willingness to conform to the nab of the
House of Commons,

Mr. I:I{OUGHANI then rose midst hid cries of Lear,

p t him frog addressing the Hesse as he could wish ;
and partly from the hal* of tins* early enpteasing his
sentiments on the inspornial Vanilla behest the Howe.
High as was his stalksn in the law departs...l if her Ma-
jesty, he felt that he had to argue se small part of the
question as a Member of that House. It was tree the
result of the negotiations was unfortunate, but he was
bound also to observe, that no little bad been gained by
her Majesty in those negotiations. (Hear, hear.) Her
Majesty had made it the slow flea nen, that her ueimpeacK.
able honour and unsuspected title to be Queen should be
recognized. Here her Majesty had been inflexible, and
it was the only point in which she had been inflexible-
she required the recognition of her rights, her rank, and
her privileges as Queen of England, and that such recog-
nition should be obtained previously to the opening of
any negotiation. Stub recognition had been obtained.
—(Hear, hear.)—How it had happened, he would not
stop to enquire ; but such was the tact—the Queen bad
not arrived in this country with all the pomp that usually
characterised the progress of so distinguished a Person.
But sew, should departure from this country be consistent
with her domestic arrangements, her Majesty was offbred
all the pomp and circumstance paid to the highest pet-
mange la the State. This might be deemed a trifling
I eirenmstanee—but where her Majesty was concerned, the
return to attentions that bad been neglected, was a good
deal. It flowed from the recognition that bad been ob-
taiued. Further, instead of the " comfort and cense-
niente" before talked ot, it was undertaken to see that
her Majesty was received with suitable respect as Queen
—to be announced as such by the proper authorities. Anil
lastly it was said, there would be no (lateen:adieu' to agree
to a joint Address to their Majesties, thanking them, to-
gether, for making concessions and yielding to the wishes
of Parliament in making amicable arrangements. (Hear,
hear When it was recollected that only four months
ago the gentlemen opposite could not be brought to men-
tion the same of Queen; that they talked of an illustrious
Lady, the great personage; that every mode of expres-
sion was exhausted to avoid mentioning the word ; and
that now they could constantly call her Majesty the
Queen—that they would engage for her reepectfal recep-
tion at Foreign Courts—and lastly, that they could agree
to propose an Address jointly to their Majesties; surely
much had been gained. (Hear.) And yet there were
those even easoolist the Members who sat around him, to
whose buffets he was exposed, as weU as the arguments
of Members opposite, who could read the documents be-
fore the Home, and afterwards say that the Queen bad
gained nothing in the recent negotiations. (Hear, hear,
hear!) The first ob tion that he built on these
advantages gained was that they afforded proof that the
Queen's advisers bad not abandoned her. Next, that
ground had been actually gained in procuring the recog-
nition of her Majesty as Queen. But the Gentlemen
opposite nevertheless seem determined that the Green
Bag should be opened. Let them open it; the Queen bad
so objection to it ; her Majesty feared it not. Bat would
the House sanction such proceeding I—that was the rock
on which be stood—and he would call on Members to saga
than the Queen's advisers till the Ministers conceded one
step further—the restoration of her Majesty's name in the
Liturgy, or the granting of an etinivatent. (Loud and con-
tinued cheers.) While the King's Message remained on
their taste; so long as the recollection of the Green Bag
lasted; it was absolutely necessary that something shoal
be does to pretreat that misconception which wool 4
remit so Wag as the omission in the Liturgy lasted. The
restoration of her Majesty's name in the Liturgy would
meet the wishes of many, if not the majority of the Mem-
bers of that House; it certainly would be agreeable se an
overwhelming majority in the country—(chess)—and
while it steered the honour of the Queen. it would not
elect that of the King. The restoration of the name pre-
sented the only difficulty that remained; he was as sure
as that he existed, that if this obstacle was removed,
arranges et would be easy.—(Hear, hear, hear I)—Let
the Genuses' opposite once talk of Liturgy in an ami-
cable tale, and all difficulty would be removed. But it
was his Impression, that It was of high and paramount
importance to Insist on this revoration..—(Cheers.) He
had to express his deep regret that ever such omission
should have occurred, and it was contrary to law, because
the Act of Uniformity said, that " in all those prayers,
litanies and collects, which do any way relate to the King,
Queen, or Royal progeny, the names be"--not expunged
or admitted according to pleasure, but —" altered and
changed from time° time, and fitted to the present occa-
sion•" This meant that Caroline should succeed to
Charlotte as Geo. IV. succeeded to Geo. 11 f. That was
the plain meaning—that was the law—and that was rat
once his case.—(Cheers.) Abstract reasoning would be
vain. 'there was the difficulty, and they could get out of
it, if so disposed; but if they were desirous of litigginx
this difficulty, then they could entangle theruselve. w itt,
ingenious an ht Hiles, and forced constructions. While the
omission remained, a stigma remained ; and as they kilow-
att King only as lie acted by his Ministers, the question
was, had the King's Ministers acted right or wrong ?
(Hear, hear!) They had adopted a hasty step; they
were guilty of an aggravation, in quoting the instance of
George the First—( Hear hear! )—hut it they had acted
hastily and Improperly, why should they u.tt recede—he
would not say retract—by obeying the Law, the general
Usage, the Wishes of that House and the Country'—
(Cheers!) The Ministers had co iiiiiiiiiii the wrong, aid
it was thereinte for then, to waive objection and tr.
recede. And let not the Ministers be afraid of conse-
quences as far as to be concerned about Olt it places,—
for if they, in obedience to the a ish of that House, lo.t
their places, as the reward of advising the restoration of
the Queen's name, he should like to see the stun wit.)
