must be the result; and he was the more anxious to im-
press this on the House. because the subject seemed
entirely to escape the consideration of the Miiiisters.—
The Petition also noticed, with pain, the a✓itated state of
the country, produced by an impolitic interference with►
the royal name and privileges ; and the Petitioners prayed
that the Ministers might be dismissed by his Majesty.
Much had been said about " folly" and " mischief," but
could any thing equal the folly and mischief of those mea-
sures which the Ministers had vainly attempted to cosy?
—Cheers.)
The CHANCE-UM:of the EXCHEQUER moved that
the House, at its lisitig, should adjourn to Wednesday.—
Agreed to.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the
House into a Cemmittee of supply.
Mr. CIfEEVY said, the public had prevented the
Queen from being sacrificed, and lie hoped they would
now look to their propel ty, which that Ilouse was in pos-
session of. He hoped they would meet iu all pm is of the
country, and make tlic House mind its usatiners.—(-k
laugh and applause.)
The House went into a Committee, and the Report was
ordered for Wednesday.
Loan ARCIIIB4I.II HAMILTON'S Mwriov.—Lord
HAMJL'I'ON then rose to bring forward his important
motion, to place her Majesty's name in the Liturgy. He
called the attention of the House to the vast multitude of
Petitions presented upon the subject, and entreated that
they Should be added to the observations he had to make,
ou a topic which bad created such a ferment i❑ the pub-
lic mind. He did not Walt to hear the public opinion
when he heatii of the indignity offered to her Majesty. It
became from that moment his determination to endeavour
to pi mime rcdrus for a greatly minted and insulted wo-
man. Last session a motion, substantially the same as lie
was now about to propose, had been made by him, but
what had occurred since rendered the present occasion
ono peculiarly calculated to ensure success.—(Hear.)—
He did not think it possible time the Queen could remain
in this country under conditions which Ministers intended
to propose, namely, the making a mere provision fur het•.
The Noble Lord hoped that Ministers would put an end to
the d floslollS of the Press, on both sides, by adopting the
measure for which the people so loudly called. He trusted
that an end would be put to the revolutionary proceed-
ings of his Majesty's Ministers (hear, hear!) by Ministers
themselves, and that the necessity of a struggle would be
avoided. He then entered into a statement of her Ma-
jesty's situation before her name was snuck out of the
Liturgy, and after a power fill appeal to the House, con-
cluded by moving the following resolution ;—" That the
Order in Council, dated the 18th Feb. 1520, in which the
name of' her Majesty Queen Caroline, Consort of this
realm, was directed to be omitted in the Liturgy, appears
to this House to be a measure ill advised and inex-
pedient."
Mr. ELLIS entered into a long uniuterestiug defence of
31r. Canning's conduct, and
Mr. F. ROBINSON, nfter speaking at great length
against the Resolutions. moved " That the House du uuw
adjourn.
Mr. HORHOUSF. said, that the onus probandi lay
entirely Lyon ministers; it was for them to prove, that
when they ventured to erase her Majesty's name float
the Liturgy they were nut violating the law. It was not
for them (the opposition) to wove that ministers haul done
any titbit; of the kind. (Hear, and a laugh from the ini-
nisteiial benches.) This was an obseivation which he
could sufficiently prove in a few words. Since the year
1546, there had not been, so far as he knew, one single
instance in which the name of the Queen Consort had been
omitted, until it was first omitted 1011 the present occasion.
One exception, indeed, there was; and this lie mentioned,
because lie saw the learned Attorney General taking
notes, as if lie (Mr. H.) had made some slip. (A laugh.)—
But he repeated, that if lie had lead the History of Eng.
land aright, thei e was but ewe instance (if such it could
be considered), and that was the case of the Queen Con-
sort of George I. But that Queen had been previously
unkeoa it to 'country asl Princess of Wales: iti uo
such character, indeed, had she ever been recognized.—
She had also been divorced from her first husband before
she came over hoc to be Qultell of England. She never
had been created even Pi incess of Wales; as Princess of
Wales, bile had never been prayed fur, nor had she kept a
court in this country, nor, iu fact, was she ever in any way
recognised, either by the laws or by the people of Eng-
land. It appeared to him impossible to gi t over (tie
words, the precise expres-ions of the statute of la and
Charles 11. commonly called the statute or nnitormity :
these directed that the names should be al ered amid
changed from time to time, as fitted the present occasion.
It was impossible that those grave nuthurities by w hum
that statute was flamed—he meant Sir Matthew llale and
Lord Clarendon—could ever have been guilty of that
slip-slop (a. it was sometimes It imed) in latignitAc, as tu
base suppu.ed fur a niobium that the words •' alter and
change" should embrace a power to " omit" also.—
(Cheers.) They evidently aiiil expreruly meant that the
names should be varied with the occa.ion, amid fitted
veleta. 1S hat was, pertiupe, a strong confirmation of
this tact was, that at the time when the statute of unifo•-
mtty was framed, the reigning King, Charles IL had Hu
Queen; but there was a vacant space left, in the pros I-
Ilion% of the art, for the lase' tam of her name, and accor-
dingly the moment that the King did massy, the Que.. ICS
name was inserted in that space, and in the Lillis gy, Comm.
forrnably to the act.—Mr. Hobliouse concluded by ing,
that lie trusted hon. gentlemen would well consider what
they were to du; that, by so adjourning, then; would re-
ject the prayers slid petitions of the whole people of
England, ot• which they had received so 11111,1 y mautlesta-
toms. He would entreat the House to t member, that
even if they might, on other OCCiIO.IOIIB, consider them-
selves pledged to vote with the right hon. gentleman by a
poiut ot hemmer, that point ut bunion it now behoved them
to give tip ; and finally that they should I efer to their vote
oh last at:skein, which had cliaracteitsed the whole pro-
ceedings against her Majesty, " as do ogatory from the
dignity of the crown, and injurious to the best interests of
the country." ( I lea r, hear.)
Mr. W went abstrusely into the questiou ;
he quoted many authorities to prove that such All 111111:Silhl
wa. at once improper and illegal, and t•onclu-ed sa) mug,
that the whole of the proceedisigs against the Qiieen ss etc ill
dtwgctuus mud iriegutur eharaeter, contrary at Duet in the
totes ests of public older ;rod the lutes of righteous judgment.
(Cheers.)—A tribunal to try the queen for °llene° unkone
to the law winch might likewise extend its authority to try
Krug, and thus the nu•:tsure was revolutionary null inis-
rhievens. The Honourable and Learned Gentleurnii toe-
