AGAINST HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN.

HOUSE OP LORDS.
MONDAY, AUG. 21.
This day the streets leading to they Palliament Home
were thronged at ten o'clock. to see her Majesty go to
the House. The doors of the House of Lords were opened
at nine o'clock, and prayers were said.
Iluast A.—Lord HOLLAND then addressed the House;
Before year Lordships proceed to the liminess of the
day. I must eall your attention for a few minutes to a sub-
ject of as great magnitinle, in ner opinion as the investi-
ration into the coadoet of the high individual who is the
immediate objeet of your Lordship.' proceedines. 'Die
subject to which I allude is connected with the trawled,-
hits, independence, and liberty of all nations," The noble
Lord then expressed a wish to know. whether, with res-
pect to the memorial Whirl, was addressed to the Allied
Powers by the Court of Russia. sn-11 an answer had been
given by our Government as °null, to have heel). namely,
reprobating the principles it avowed? Also, whether a
communication had been made to Spain, stating such
answer to have been given, and expressing our coneratn-
lemons at the change whirl' had taken place, and the
prospects whirl, they. the Spanish people, were likely to
obtain under a free Government? He would further ask.
what the engagements were which it appeared from that
patter had been entered into by the Allied Powers, and
whether this country was a party to them?
Lord LIVERPOOL said, he knew of no engagements
of she kind alluded to by the Noble Lord ; and that if
suet' existed, this country was no party to them. The
communication stltiell had taken pine, between this
country and Spain merely went to prove the desire of his
Majesty's Ministers to keep np a cood nnderstandinc, And
to maintain the relations of peace and amity with Spoil',
and to express a hope that the proceedings now going on
under the Cortes may lead to a happy adjustment of the
affaits, and promote the welfare of the Spanish nation.
Lord HOLLAND would not press gbh subject further
on the noble Lord, after the answer which he had given.
He, however, look credit to hinuelf for having put tines-
•tionit whir, had produced an explanation that must be
regarded as highly creditable to his Majesty's Govern-
ment.
