Mtltsrv, who some few weeks since made her
entry into London without one mark of public re.
spect, save whit she obtained from the honest and
affectionate welcome of the people—whose name
could with ddliculty be pronounced by the Minis-
ters of the Crown—whose title was a matter of
seeming doubt—for whom no address of condolence
or of emigratulation was proposed, and whose ex-
istence was at length noticed only for the pur-
pose of overwhelming her with the weight of accu-
sation, now receives " an humble Address" from
the whole House of Commons, " praying her MA-
.ZESTY," avowing her rights and honours, protect-
nig her reputation from the tongue of calumny
sod the sneers of misconstruction, and humbly
thanking her for her " dignified acquiescence" in
the desires of the House of Commons to avert an
inquiry which they now admit, in the face of the
world, would be disappointing to the hopes of
Parliament—is derogatory from the dignity of
the Croton—ond injurious to the best interests
of the empire." lit this proceeding the Mi-
nisters anxiously and warmly concurred ; they
were among the first to vote the Address; they
yielded to none in their zeal for her Ithisitree's
reputation ; and they who advised the Klatt to re-
commend an investigation of the conduct of the
QUEEN to both Houses of Parliament, now de-
dare iii their " humble Address" to the QUEEN'S
Majesty herself, that such an investigation is preg-
nant with evils, is derogatoryfrom the dignity elate
Crown, and injurious to the best interests of the em-
pire! Ohl three wise Ministers! Did they not see
how their friend, Mr. WILBERFORCE, was entrap-
pitig them into a censure of their own conduct?
Did they not perceive that if the QUEEN were now
to say to the House of Commons that she would
stand upon her rights, would not yield an inch,
and would take up bee Wore residence in this
eoutitry iii the midst of her affectionate people,
afire this public declaration of their own mis-
deed!, they could not have the confidence to
ask ei,her House of Parliament to proceed to
an inquiry. By the Address of Thursday night,
or lather of Friday morning, if the QUEEN
ekes not stand exculpated and redeemed in the
ryes of the Hoban and of the world, the Mi-
nisters at least are condemned and degraded. They
have consented to the record of their own shame,
they have acknowledged their misconduct, and if
they do not wish to sink deeper in public opinion,
they ought, without loss of a moment, entreat per-
mission from both Houses of Parliament to with-
draw the green Gags from the tables.
It is impossible not to feel that the QUEEN owes
all these advantages to her own promptness and
decision in Coming to England and meeting her
enemies, where alone she could have " fair play."
Her MAJESTY liss displayed a firmness of charac-
ter such as was ever attributed to her, and if the
advice tinder which she acted in not loitering upon
the other side of the Channel was not that of " ab-
solute wisdom," it undoubtedly has been followed
by the happiest effects to her interests. Let the
discussions now take what course they tray, her
MAJESTY has :riliteved an absolute triumph, and
has confounded all the wisest speculations of her
ant agoiti.ts.

F..rl GREY has given notice in the Home of
Lords that lie will submit a hintion upon this sub-
jtct to the House on Monday evening.
