was previously spurned at with indignation.
The adjourned debate upon the KING'S Mes-
sage will, we presume, be resumer' thia evening in
the House of Commons. The effect upon the
QN,Eiti', character, of instituting an inquiry by
meow ale Secret Committee, in such a manner as
the Ministers of the Crown have determined, must
be fatal. The evidence, such as it is, no doubt
swans est eem*. case against her, and the Commit-
:,Sett, deVoried as they will be from receiving other
evidence fer the discovery of the truth, must frame
their Reports in pursuance of it. A divorce will
probably be recommended, but this cannot he
obtained without hearing evidence and Counsel at
the bar of each HOU!! of Parliament, so that the
appointment of Secret 'Committees in the 6nt
instance can beettended with no obvious advantage.
