let the circumstances be what they might. As
to the examinations. they were conducted with
all those guards and forms of justice which were
exercised at home, lie (Lord C.) would pledge
his own character on the manner of taking the
depositimis. Whenever the evidence should come
before the Howse, he was certain that there would
he no second opinion upon that subject. He
hoped, then, that he had repelled the idea that
en Officer of the Crown was to blame for not
disregarding such rumour. as disgraced hi.
country. He hoped that he had repelled the
ethjections to Mr. Cnoke's character end con-
duct, its well as that of the whole Commission.
The Hon. General upon inquiry would find,
that no remuneration had yet been made to the
Gentlemen who had need as Commissioners, nor
that any expenses had been gone to on account
of the Commission, but to defray travelling and
other indispensable charge.. He did not know that
it was neeessary to go further into the question at
that moment ; he could assure the gallant General,
that, when the proper time for explanation should
come, he should feel no wish fur mystery—he
should be prepared to enter into the most full and
open discussion of the transaction and its character

it savoured too much of party fretting.—(Hew.)—

protest against the present course, by which, when
die most grave and important question, en accusa-
tion etotiost the Queen. wus under the consideration
of Parliament, it was attempted to turn aside at-
t.aitinti from this to a charge against his Majesty's
Government. He hoped he did not ask too much
of the House, whets he required that they would
suspend their opinion, both on the merits of the
Cisse and the conduct of himself anti his colleagues,
till they were in possession of further dit• from
which to make a deduction. He protested again
ugaitht the present motion, because by it he was
dragged, in justice to the character of professional
and respectable individuals. to give imperfect and
garbled explanations, the state in which the hives-
option stood not permitting him to enter more
fully into them. He should certainly net meet the
motion by a negative, but he should move the pre.

.postponed till the character and conduct of Go-
'err 1111 l eto, and the other individuals who had been
concerned in this delicate tratuaction, could be fully
aiefentled. The Noble Lord concluded by moving
the previous question.
'The qiiestion having been put--
Mr CItEEVEY said, that notwithstanding the
Lord's animadversions, and protests, and

Friend's proposition was a perfectly just one, and
that the present was the time whets each a motion
Atotilit with propriety be made.—( Hear, hear.)—
The motion bed been delayed till the proceediugs
in the other House of Parliameut had assumed a
dirtinet shape. But the proceeding there was a
most extrnortlinery and anomalous one; it was by

he nisintsiawil that Parliament had a right to know
who had been the adviser of the Commission ; he
was en enemy to his Sovereign, for no man could
tell in what situation the King would be placed
before this Bill should be enacted. The case was,
in point of fact, one of a private nature. The King

KINGS MESSAGE—ADJOURNED DEBATE.
Lord CASTLIZRAGE in rising to move the order
of the day for postponing the seder for the ride
adjourned debate o* the King's Message standing
for to-marrow, commenced by animadverting with
warmth on the speech delivered by Mr. Crrevey ;
but. in consequence of some confusion in the
House, the first of Ilia Lordship's ob.ervetions
escaped our attention. He complained that the
Honourable Member had transgressed all bounds
of decency ; and. in speaking of his Sovereign, had
wholly disregarded the considerations of that delicacy
which on such a subject was due to the feelings or
soy private individual. He solemnly and in the
face of the House protested against the statements
of the Hon. Member it. relation to his Majesty's
motives in the !present distressing investigation.—

thing of the history of the transaction could assert
that his Majesty. mind was in any degree intim-
enced by the feelings imputed to itiin.—(//ser.).-

ble to his Majesty throngliout the whole course of

say that his Majesty in his conduct lied been sc.
lusted by soy sentiment of • malignant natuye-e.
(Hear)—on the contrary, he had expressly stated,
that whatever might be his sense of peewits! wrong
and injury, that should be wholly merged in the
considerations of public convenience—Vitali—.
r. el his Majesty had earnestly lent himself tam every
effort which heel been made to save the country front
the disagreeable and painful coesepteucesof investie

owing to his Majesty, but to the wanner in which her
Majesty had conducted herself. and the country
owed nothing but gratitude to his Majesty for the
efforts which he had allowed his Ministers to make
le escape the great difficulties of the inquiry. But
it. was unnecessary to say more mu this subject, for
if the Hon. Member was possessed of ordinary
feeling. reproof must have been more strongly con.
veyedio leui by the tone rind temper in which lair
observations lied been received by the House, than
by any thing which he (Lord Castlereagh) could

Since that time the House of Lords hediatstituted

and Peuallies was now pending iii the sitlwr House.

for him to call the attentiols of the Howe

proper that the House should investigate *Hart

lie should say, that had he been aware of the

would have been given is the manner it was; on
the contrary. be thought that his Majesty's Mi-
nisters abandoned their duty to their Sovereign. if
being acquainted with the heinousness of the
Agrees now proposed against her Majesty. and
believing theta (and he gave them bill credit for
believing them), they had advised him to accede to
a compromise. But he wished to confine himself
strictly to the proposition of the Noble Lord. The
Noble Lord wished to keep this question in the
House in a suspensive, not a conclusive state ; now he
differed altogether from the Noble Lord, he wished
it to be placed in a conclusive and not a suspensive
state. The quest' lied now resumed a very dif-
ferent shape from the time of the last adjournment;
a Report was uow on their table, which ;hewed
that since that period a very strong proceeding
had keen commenced against her Majesty in
the House of Lords. Now he put it to the
House, whether. while that illustrious individual
was standing defending herself at the bar of the
House of Lords, they would keep an order
impended over her head, which might lead to a
second charge, if she should have the good fortune
to be acquitted of the first. Did the Noble Lord
mean to say, that if the Ministers should fail in
proving the preamble of the Bill in the other
House, and her Majesty Maisie an acquittal, that
this House should then examine the papers. and
institute a new charge ? He was aware that a
Grand Jury, after ignoring one hill. Height find
a new one against the same Defendant, but it
mast be on a separate case. If then the charge
agai..st her Majesty failed, was she not to have
time benefit of a general principle of law ? With
respect to the Noble Lord's request, that the
papers might be kept on the table that the House
might have wherewithal to f 1 an accusation
against hlinisterv, in case of her Majesty's ac-
quittal, he had to observe that it was not by the
evidence in the bag their conduct was to be judged
of, hat by the evidence which they should produce
distinct from that. These were Isis reasons for op.
posing the motion. The Ilan. Gentleman then
proposed that the older blioold be discharged.
Lard CASTLEREAGH, in explanation, said (is we
understood) that it never could be the intention of
Luis Majesty's Ministers to raise a new accusation
against the Queen. if the fiist failed of its merits.
Mr. BENNETT said. that the country would go
along with his Hon. Friend (Mr. Creevey) iu the
obse;rvations he had made. He could not give his
Mniesty's Ministers credit for-believing the charges
contained iii the preamble of the Bill ; for, ewer-
tabling that impressiots, he could slot conceive
that their conduct would have been such as it was.
The House was told that by their recommendation
the King of England lent himself to an accommo.
dation wills a Queen, whom they considered, ou this
supposition, as guilty—of what ? licentious con.
duct and adultery ! She was :u be addressed ss
Queen by both Houses of Parliament, and her right
to that title to be communicated to :may Court in
Europe where she should fix her resliteuce. Was
it credible that Ministers, with mud* an impress
sign. should have made each toiscesoions ? Be.
sides, he had another reason fur thinking that
his Majesty's Ministers slid not give credit to the

them (Mr. Canniug) had said nit a former night.
That his esteem, respect. and 'Election for Majesty

Lord CArTLEREAOII appealed to the Chair, whe.
titer it was liarliamentary or constitutional to im-
pute to the king an interference with either noose
of Parliament, or to attribute to hie Majesty acts
which, in the eye of the constitution, could be does
only by his Minister..
The SPEAKER said, it was certainly uncntnititur
tional to impute to his Majesty an interference
with either House of Parliament, begzed the
House, and the Honourable Member himself, to re-
collect in what ao awkward situation the person
who filled that chair, and the Howe, and the
Hone Member himself, would be placed by tram-
rowing the orders of the House, in spirit or letter,
in the discurrions on the present must distressing
subject.
Mr. BENNETT spologired ; and after a variety
of ether observations, said it was his intention to
support the motion of hie Hon. Friend (Sir M. W.
Ridley), because he was friendly to any thing
which tended to put a stop to farther inquiry.

Mr. TIIIINLY stated the course he had ne.ready
pursued during the previous agitation of this un-
fortunate business, and thought the time had now
arrived when it became him to mato the course he
should take daring its future investigation. He
now felt himself in the painful situation of meting
as a judge, about to be called oil to decide. so far
as his voice went, upon the most s-rims and im-
portant subject which had ever called for the coo.
aideration of Parliament. He always felt great re.
gret when he was unable to participate in opinion
with any of the Gentlemen with whom he was
iu the habit of acting, and with whom he was
always most anxious to act. But though he was
a party man, and had ever avowed I ' If to
belong to what was called a party, yrt he would
always recollect lie bed a paramount duty to per-
form to the public, in itoiug which he trusted
he should be ever found to speak out his own
sentiments manfully.—(hear, hear.)—With th.t
candour he must now say, that he hews' with great
regret much of what had been this night said by
an Hon. Friend behind him (Mr.Creevey).—(Hear.
bear, hear.)—His othei. Hon. Friend (Geis. Fer-
guson) certainly mood free from reproach in the
fair and honourable manner in which he had intro.
duced his motion—a motion, however. in which he
(Mr. Tierney) had no connexion, and one which,
by meddling in the present stage of the proceeding.
and isitrodocing. as it were, iocidental ute•ter, was
so liable to misconstruction, that had the piratical

gone to a division, he should certainly hive felt
himself compelled to refrain from giving it h.s sup-
pure.—/Hear. hear, from ihe Treasury Benches!
—From this day forward he felt that the House
stood committed to proceed judicially. They now
knew that a Bill haul been instituted against the
queen in the House of Lords, and it was only fair
to presume that those who instituted it bad suffi-
cient grounds to justify the step they had taken.
Whets the proceeding's upon that Bill came down
from the Lord. to them (if they did ever so
come down), it would be time enough for hum to
state his opinion upon the whole case, at present be
should await the proceedisigs in painful suspense.
The discussion was else which must be viewed with
great ~.in, but it was one in which every man must
be prepared to do his duty calmly and dispassion•
alely.—(Near. hear.)—The subject was not one
in which the King was the accuser--(Hear,rear)....
but in which the people of England were the ac+
center and the Qom, the accused.—(Hea►, hear.)
—Her Majesty was entitled to•that which, be trust-
ed, she should ever receive—impartial justice.—
lis Ilse future course of these proceedings, a threat
of recrimination bad been tauntingly thrown out.

On that point he rhould now say nothing; but
when the proper day for delivering hit sentiment'
upon the whole proceedings arrived, then, without
free or apprehension of popular clamour ma the
one hand, or Court favour on the 'ether, he should
do Mr duty calmly. impartially, and firmly. to the
best of hie judgment. Such %hook, be hit course.
and he recommended its adoption to others.—
(liter. hour.)—Having said thus much, he should
only add, that he was indifferent to the selection of
the two motions before the House. His, Hon.
Friend's. of the two. he certainly thought the
more manly one. After what had occurred it
would be a mockery to talk of any longer talking
