lAPEZ.

Lord J. Roseuil4 postponed his motion for the
release of Sir M. Lopez till Tuesday.
MILAN COMMISSION.
General Felicia:tom said, it was with sincere and
deep regret for the circumstances winch had made
it necessary, and only from being compelled by an
imperative sense of duty and justice that he
brought horned his motion no this subject. His
regret was increased by the consideration of his
own inability to core, with a subject the most de-
licate, the most pandlul. and comprising interests
the most important, Ad likely nab/eve results the
most serious for the peace and motif% of the coon-
try. Had Minuet'!" pursued a different course to
that which they had adopted. much evil would
have been avoided ; had they not behaved as they
had done with respeek to The infernal. of the
Queen's maim in the Liturgy, all the discussion
and ferment'of the public noted, now likely to be
so severely agitated, would then hate been spared.
They thought fit to take another course, for what
reason he knew not, still, when they saw the
coorequences which were in all probability likely
to follow, they should have retracted this first
step. especially as it was a mensnre which
scarcely any man either in or out of the House held
ever offered any tolerable West of defence. The
President of the Board of Control had indeed said.
that the omission of the name of the Quern in the
Liturgy was part of a system of conduct which it
was intended to observe towards the Queen ; hut
Lord Castlereagh had said that nothing would have
been doom against the Queen if she had not come
to England. Her crime then appeared to be that
of having placed her font on English ground ; that
moment Ministers brought down green bags, which
they alleged to contain matters and accusations re.
latsve to the Queen. He thanked God that no one
in that House knew any thing of the contents of
those bags as.yet. The "loose had reforest to lock
into them; and the Nobk Lord even, " tinning her
back upon himself" (to wee his own phrase), had,
a few nights afterwards, voted for a Resolution
which declared that an inquiry into them would
be " derogatory from the dignity a the Crown,
mid contrary to the best interests of the empire."
He was little accustomed to address. the House,
and he felt that other business which required
diveussion required him also to be brief as
possible in whet he had to propose. But he
thought that the public had a right to know
by whose directions the controls of the bog had
been collected. In those statements which he
was about to make, lie Offerell to Sub NW to
