THE NATIONAL REGISTER

ilemanly proceedings, by the relation of matters that were
not necessary to the case; and the King bad been betrayed
beenese lie could not have known what use was making of
his treasury, and eves. of his palace. He had Wald the
evidence, and had he a thousand lives, he would sacrifice
them all, rather than agree to the measure.
Mr. 0. tiENNET contended. that there was no safety
bet in retreat. The filthy evidence which was adduced
had disgusted the country; and the Attorney-General, by
the way in which lee had opened the case, bed disgraced
himself. (Hear, hear!) He would repent the opinion
that the Attorney-General, by the way in which he had
set forth the case had disgraced himself. (Hear, hear!)
He hail sat forth charges which he bad never atteutpted
to prove; (hear!) charges and statements which had
made his blood boil. The•feallesa conduct of the Queen,
evinced in the manner in which that heroic woman had
scorned the dribs and defied the menaces of Ministers,
proved that the substratum and bas'4 of her mind was
rectitude. All classes were affected by the question now
at issue ; even the At say and Navy held opiuitess that were
hatardons its the extreme. The army were their masters.
He complained of the Tribunal before which the question
was now being tried—and there, for the first time, had
Judges cheered the Counsel. (Hear, hear!) And there
for the first time bad Counsel been brew-healers and put
I down. (Hear, hear!) He concluded with declaring, that,
in hits opinion, the amendment presented the best way of
getting rid of the 8111.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed,in vindication
of himself; that bad he not performed the deity which he
had been called on to perform, his conduct would then
have been disgraceful, as it would be if he shruuk from
pursuing Me course which was unpaired of him by his
office.
Mr. lIUME condemned the Bill as being founded on
the foulest and basest conspiracy. (Hear, bear!) The
Attorney-General had degraded himself. All oar power
had been exerted to procure evidence; while, on the
other hued, Dr. Henry experienced the greatest impedi-
ment in the endeavours to procure the Queen's witnesses.
The passports of four, out of twenty-tour persons, who
bad' tendered their evidence, had been refused; and all
through the means and machinations of Governmesst
Agents. He. however, was satisfied, when all the evidence
came to be heard, that the Lards would not And the Queen
' guilty; and therefore he was not for the aiiendisteut, by
the adoption of whirls the Queen would be deprived of
the Janina Minaking her defence. If the Bill oboisld be
thrown out, and if police were done, all those who bad
been concerned in the measure, not forgetting the Mi.
nesters, would be impeached. Tre laws were trial; and
he did not see why a Minister, as well as a weaver, should
not be banged, if he violated the lives. The Jtheisters bad
done inure than all the seditious meetings to bring Royalty
int* contempt; and the opening of the Green Bag, in
whieb some Alf the Church bad assisted, had done injury
to the Church, as well as to Morale. He would then have
them beware bow they proceeded—for it won known that
morals might be militarised without an established Church.
If they disturb the corner stone, all might soon come
alums. In Bowline' there was Po wane of ineraillys toad
yet they bad not the captures of Bishops.
Lord CkSTLEREAOII felt it to be most painful to be
dragged tato she partial dimemiou of a measure which
wos sot even before the Reuse, bat which was is progress
through the other Home. He suaintaitied that it would
not be dignified in the those to get rid of the Bill in the
way proposed by the amendment. As_ to the conspiracy
being of Haeoverian origin. the relating being viteed
with the often-told story of Baron d'Osepteda, the. state.
meets were not 'arrested. rae violence, If it were
offered, was most ogbistifieble ; but be had made bigotries
of Count Minister, who runtish that he did slot know of
any thing which warranted the statemeat regarding Baron
°espied', and that his conviction was, that they, were
withebt foundation. Countenance would nut be given to
those mischievous designs which they all deplored; and,
be trusted, that the Huuae would nut be diverted irons
the performance Mho duty.
! Me. MjkIIERLEY said, that the !message adopted by
that House, particularly in the Address to (he Queen, bad
strengthened the opinion that it was alike contrary to the
Interests of the nation and the Kjng to proceed. ( Haar.)
Mr.CREEVEY condemned the Bitl,and maintained that
it had bug promoted to a way that was calculated to do no
honour to the pas ties. But after all, it was said that the
Divorce Clause was to be given up. If so, was there any
one that did not think that such abandonment resulted
froM the tear of recrimiaation ? And did they think than
such opinion was no degradation to the King t—(Hear.)—
Strung as were the sentiments which hail been uttered
there, strong as were the writings that had appeared on
the suisject, ail were feeble in effect, compared with their
Lordships' declaration that such clause might be abaa-
doom!.
The House then divided. The numbers were—For the
amendment, 12—Against it, 06—Majority 34.
Tee original motion being of coupse carried, the Com-
mittee was appoiuteth
Oa our re-admission to the gallery we found
Mr. COKE presenting the petition of the inhabitants of
Norfolk, praying the House to take such measures as in
its wisdom it might deem fit for putting an end to the
proceedings against her Majesty. The petition set forth,
anumg other matters, that the tact of a negotiation hieing
been entered into with her Majesty, and large otters hav-
ing been made to her to induce her to remain abroad,
afforded presumptive evidence that she was innocent;
and the petitioners 'sinews* their hope that the House
would petition his Majesty to order the re-insertion of bet
Majesty's eases in the Liturgy.
l'be petition was laid on the table.
Sir It, WILSON iuquired of Lord Castleagh whether it
was true that Areas, the Aldan Courier, had been taken
into custody in Paris, for having passed forged Bank of
England notes, and whether he was shielded from prose-
cution in consequence of the interference of Sir Charles
Stuart, he English ambassador at Paris.
To Luth these questions Lord Coallereagb answered in
the affirmative!!
Mr. C. 8. WHITBREAD then moved, " That there be
laid before this House an account of all sums expended
from the period oh her Majesty's departure front England,
is the year 1814, sip to the present time, with respect to
the proceedings carried on against the Queen of England'
including all sums paid to Isis Majesty's Ministers at fo-
reign courts, and oh stuns paid to the commission at Milan."
Lbid C ASTLERLACiII objected to this motion nod
threatened to inuve the previous question—lee subsequently
huweber, moved as antendmeat—" That there be laid before
I ,ic Ilmtve au uccoool of (spruces that has been incurred

on account of Ibe proceeding carrying en optimal her MR:
jelly, as far as the same cars be made up."
Upon the return of the Committee from the Lards, the
Report was brought up, and ordered to lie on the table. The
report briefly Mated the present situation of the bill in. the
House of Lords,
Tue I/ivories Ct.susa.—Lord FRANCIS OSBORNE

Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that soder ceiling Amp..
monstauces it was insposattde to give a satisfactory simmer,

subject. The Noble Lord then moved, that the House
should adjourtilill the 17th of October. The musjqw was

A letter has been received in town by the Hon
E. Ponsonby from Captain Spencer, in which he
states surprise that a rumour of his death should
have been afloat at Buenos Ayres ; no such event es
a quarrel or duel having taken place between hint
and his lint lieutenant. It is believed that a purser,
who went on shore without leave after sonic mis-
conduct, invented the story, to account for his not
returning on bawd. The report was the mote row-
dily credited, because the vessels hoisted their colours
haigmast high on the same day, but that is supposed
to have been in consequence of the receipt of the
melancholy news of the King's death.
One act of vulgarity imputed to the Queen is—that of
going into the kitchen with Bergaini, and taking a lunch.
It is not two years since we saw in all the newspaper
ani article from Brighton, under. the bead of " Royal
Frolic," by which it appeared that an illustrious indi-
vidual took the whim of going into the kitchen alter
midnight, accompanied by his courtiers, and mere seating
themselves on the ground-Boor like tailors, partook of a
rump-steak, representing in reality high-life below
stairs. Tills is nut vulgar in a K--g, but appears be a
great act uf iwpwpriety, if mot a weal crime, mu a Queen.
