Mr. I,Anwro.s
.presented a petition from the
Inhabitants of t-lateside, in the county of Dor-
l!am. He was aft aid, in the observations he was
about to make, that he should incur the reproach
hich the Noble Lord opposite had cast upon some
ether Hon. Members. But however ill it may
suit the couvenieuce of the Nat& Lord, he should
better consult' the wishes of those who had ho-
noured hi:n witlitheir.confidence, than to neglect
expressing his sentiments upon the subject Of the
petition. He certainly hoped that it would claim,
its due attenticrn from the House, and he only re.
gretted that petitionshad been received with too
little consideration and respect. The petitioners
stated, and he fully concurred with them,that cer-
tain persons calling themselves the loyitclists of, the
country—(Cries of No, no! and Hear, hear !)--,
The petition stated that such person's got up
what they called Loyal Declarations in secret
places, and accused. others of being hostile to the
Government and to the institutions of the coutt.
try; • He confessed that amongst themany amus-
ing -things which he heard from the Noble Lord
the night before, nothing amused him so much as
the declaration, that' these declarations express-
ed the genuine and real feelings of the country.
It might be. very well. for the Noble Lord and
his colleagues to think so—(Hear, hear, and a
laugh !)—but those who' had seen the getieral
ebullition of feeling which pervaded the whole
country; knew well that nineteen-twentieths of
the people of England were engaged in Open hos •
tility, not to the Throne, or to the C overnment,
but to his Majesty's Ministers.;—(Cheers from
the Opposition.)—When (he Noble Lord had
= said that the Lion was roused, he should not. have
made the Lion's den to consist in a few Scotch-
counties.—(A prayed.to God that
the object of the petitioners would ,be granted,
for he t:elieved with them that the real and true
cause of the irritation. which prevailed was the
persecution of her Majesty ;. and that the resto-
ration of her full rights would alone restore peace
to this country.
Lord CA3TLEREACIf said, if the Hon. Member
supposed that.. he bad any disposition, or that the
House had any. disposition to treat Petitions
li,ghtly, or with inattention, his conclusions were
perfectly erroneous. The Hon, Member had put
words into his (Lord Castlereagh's) mouth, which
he certainly bad never-spoken, but.whicil it was;;
however, quite . unnecessary that he should have
spoken, for the effect of the Hon. Member's
speech.—(A laugh.)—He had never uttered a
word about this Lion, and was at a loss
to conceive to what the Hon. Member referred.
—(Loud laughter.)
Mr. LAmwrom explained. He 'did not mean
to say that the Noble Lord had himself made use
Of the expressions; but he had seen them in a
. newspaper which was connected with, and formed
an ellicient part of; the Noble Lord's Administra:
• tion.:---(lfear, bear ! from the Opposition.)
.Mr. BENNETT (of Wiltshir..) present &a Pe'

ti'on from the County of Wilts, praying that any
proceedings against her *Wit:sty may be stopped;
and her Majesty's name restored to the Liturgy.
lle had 'been requested ,to suppoit the Petition
by his constituents; but he_ did .so more from in-
clination than -in obedience to that request ; for
he did not conceive himself bound to obey orders.
He denied that-any thing.had been proved against
her Majesty, and therefore. she was fully acquit-
ted-0 the eye of the law. Ile believed all par-
ties were agreed that it was high time that the
discussion of this odious subject was Stopped--i-not
only for the Queen's sake, but that the distresses
of the. Country might be taken into consideration.
There was not- a more loyal colfitY than the
Coclnty of Wilts'in IlisMajesty's dominions. Ik
implored Ministers, if th-ey had any regard for,
th (;7own,as,no doubt they tiad ;-.--if they had any
rd the. people ;—if theyhad any regard
for.thernselves, to do all in their power to put a
stop to.the question altogether.---•-19rdered to lie.

Sy.SON presented a Petition- :from
• Great.Grimsby,iraying for -the insertion of her:
Majesty:s name in the Liturgy, and the procuring
;)fira-su/table.reSidence. It appeared to him that
ig:inisters...wonahaie best discharged their duty
if, during the interval of the recess, they had
.prevented the necessity of these petitions, by al-
lowing her Majesty's claims.—Ordeiced to be
read, and laid on the Table.
Ir.IIUME presented Petitions from the

corporatedTraders and other Inl'abitantsOf Pt rb,
Annan, Banff, and. two other Scotch Burghs, to
the same effect.—Ordered to be read and laid on
the Table.
Mr. EsTcouax presented a similar Petition from
ViTeS•
Mr; Goanon said, that he had been requested
by the. Petitioners. to. support the prayer of the
Petition ; for although; Eire lion. Gentleman had
consented to present it, they ex'Pectod 'he Wauld
rather provoke opposition than give it his-support,
That :ton. Member was returned by about a

cloven Aldetalen, while the Petition was slguel
by nearly 400 inhabitants. This was a complete
illustration of whatthe Noble Lord had said last
night about his possessing the confidence of the
House and the People.—He had. the confidence
of the corporatio, 'uct doubt ; but had he the
confidence of the people of Devizes?—lie would
ask the Noble Lord that question ?
Mr. T. PuAase said, that ;Viten he had con-
sented to present the Petition, he had also stated
his intention of opposing its sentiments. The
',Hon. Member had said- that these. 400 persons
expressed the opinion 'of the town. This he'
would deny..----(Hear!)—They were persons of
no weight, and some of them scarcely known in
the town.---:-(Loud cries of " Hear, hear !")—We
understood the Hon-Member, that an Address
was now in a course of signature at Devizes,
which would be much, more numerously and

...____ .
more respectably signed then the Petition which

he had presented.
Sir F. BURDETT considered this Borough re-
presented by a Mayor and twelve Aldermen, to
be a, very fair specimen "of the state of public
feeling. It was a'faVourahle one for the Mayor
and 12 Aldermen, witorn the Hon.. Member repre-
sented so faithfullyand so well.--(A
respect to what the Noble Lord had said last
night, and explained since, he understood that all
ulterior measures which might have been contem-
plated against the Queen, and that all proceed-.
iugs against her whatever, bad been now given
up. Ile was convinced that this must give grcat
satisfaction to the country. Nothing would so
,coNpletely put a stop to all discussion upon the
snbject, as such a declaration coming from the
Prime Minister. And he (Sir F. 11.). did hope
that no further expressions would be thrown out
likely to lead to that discussion, which it was
agreed en all hands ought to be avoided.- With
respect to thrise persons who wished to pass of
as the exclusively loyal, their conduct. had dis-
gusted those general feelings of justice which so.
honOurably characterized the people of England.
He. repeated his hope, that what the Noble Lord
had said, would prevent all further discussion
upon the subject, and that his Majesty would be
advised, feeling as he was sure that Royal Per-
sonage must, for the peace and happiness of his
people, and for the honour of his illustrious fa-
mily, to restore her M►►jesty to that station which
she was destined to fill.

Lord CASTLERE4GIS rose for the purpose of
correcting a mistaken impression which seemed
to be entertained. It appeared to be supposed,
that when his Noble Colleague withdrew the
Bill from the other House, that some intention of
bringing for Ward another measure was contem-
plated, and that hi the intervening time such in-
tention had been withdrawn: He wished to state,
that at the moment of the abandonment of the
Bill, Ministers had determined to propose no
other measure, and in that feeling they had re-
mained ever since. .

Mr. J. PEARSE explained. He -was not in poin
of fact elected by twelve; but by thirty-six per
sons.--(Laughing.)—He was undoubtedly elect
ed by 36 members of the Corporation, but he
considered those individuals to be the represen-
tatives of the population.—(Bear, hearland
that the interests of that population, and of the
country, was his peculiar care. N.more loyal, a
more respectable, and a more independent body
of men than the corporation of Devizes,- did not
exist. It was not, and it could not he proved,
that they were to he biassed or bound by any
unworthy'motiyes. • And as their. representative
he felt that he was not only to watch over their
interests, but also to guard
_those-441--th*-ernplie
at large,,—(cheers'.)
sir. FRANCIS .liknor,TT explained.
Lord C.‘STT.ERtAGII explained. Although be
hail declared that no new measures had. been
contemplated with regard to her Majesty, after
the withdrawing -the Bill of Pains and Penal-
ties, yet it could not 'be understood to follow
that het Majesty's name was to be restored to
the Liturgy.
Mr. 13tiouowut restated what he understood
the Noble Lord to have said, and asked if it was
meant that though no proceeding of the nature of
punishment. wds to go on against her Majesty,
there-was yet to he a continuation. of those inflic-
tions imposed previous to the charge being made,
as if she had been convicted.
Lord CAiTLEREAGii again objected to the an-
ticipation of a regularly appointed debate by,the
form. of asking a queStion ; and, with regard to
the insertion of the Queen's name in the Liturgy,
deemed the inference of its being a punishment
to pursue the course which his Majesty's Mini-
sters hid adviSedly adopted the first instance.
Lord JoHN Rtissr.r.r, said a few words to the
same purport Is the observations from 'Mr.
Brougham.—(The Petition was thenbrought up,
read, ordered to lie on the- table, and to. be
printed.)
Dr. LUSIIINGTON, in presenting a Petition of
a similar nature friim certain' inhabitants-of H-
amster, took occasion to inveigh against the
mode -in which Parliament had been prorogued,
leaving her Majesty without any legal provision,
and to contend that this was contrary to the de-
claration of the Noble Lord (Castlereagh.)
Lord CASTLF.REAGIE absoltitely denied that he
had ever said the House should meet to make a
provision for the Queen, or should meet for any
*pose other than for the discussion of the Bill
Of Pains and Penalties, if it came down from the
'Lords. :This he could not have said, for it never
entered 'into his contemplation, and if proof were
wanted of the fact, it would be found in the call
' of the House being helot over• in ..notice for that
purpose only, which it would not have been had
'any other important question been looked for.
Lord FOLKSTONE argued for the possibility of
the Noble Lord's having been understood as re-
presented by the Learned Civilian. He also
thought that his,own character would have been
more consulted 'by assembling the House to
probe the charge of a conspiracy to the bottom,
than by preventing others from coming to that
inquiry, which involved in it an attack upon the
principles of Hereditary Monarchy.
,After. a short explanation from Dr. Lushing.;
to, the Petition was disposed of in the same;way
with the preceding.
Sir T. ACLAND presented two Petitions, pray-

ng tor the rest Oration . *Cie ,Queen Consort to
her rights, from Axminster and Cullumpton,which
were received, and ordered to be. printed.
Mr. Alderman Ilt-voATE presented a similar
Petition. from his 'o,ll..stituents (of Sudbury),

praying that her Majesty might be restored to
her lawful rights, as Queen Consort of the realm,
and that her Majesty's name alight be restored
to the Liturgy. The Petition was not only res-

pectably signed, but what was uncommon now-a-
days,it was couched in language which did not
convey the slightest di*respect 'to that "House, or
arty other of the constituted authorities. He
professerd to have felt the strongest repug-
nance to the Bill of Pains and Penalties, and all

the other proceedings against her Majesty ; on
constitutional grounds he wag opposed to all
those proceedings. He considered that the No-
ble Lord's declaration had rtrudered discussion
on that topic unnecessary. He had deplored
the ornisAion of her Majesty's name in the Li-

turgy'; it had been made use of as a handle by
those who cared not one farthing about the Li-
turgy, or' any other form of religion, to excite
seditious "outcries agatnst the Government. It
was one thing, however; to deplore the omission
of the' name from the Liturgy, and another to
support a petitionjor its restoration.—(Hear,
hear !)—lie Gould not put out of his head the
political conduCt which her Majesty had been
iuduced to adopt, contrary to the advice of her
very learned legal advisers. Hecould not for-
get, though the 11645 e and'hii Majesty's Minis-
ters might overlook it, that-she:had put her name
to a letter, the colitents Or which, were not
only unfit to address to a private gentleman,
but comprised expressions which in his judg-
ment amounted to an offence nothing short of
treason, and no less subject to the punish-
ment of the ,laws. (Hear, hear, hear !)
That letter had proposed it as a question for the
decision of the people, how ;far they would be
boand to obey the Bill of Pains and Penalties
had it passed into a law ? There was also a direct
invitation' to the military, that military whichwas
paid by the House for the proteCtion- of the
Constitution and the State, to interfere and pre-
vent the sentence of that Bill from being carried
info .exerution.—(llear, hear, hear!)—lf the
House„and his
.Majesty's Miiiilters Were able, be
was not to sit still and witness those things, so
dangerous to the Constitution. All questions of
party. politics. became as nothing to this. It

came the House Well to reflect, before they went
to pay honour and_ heap dignities on one who had
run into such eacesses. lie could make great al-
lowances for the temper of- g mind suiFering un-

Queen had been placed.' If the had used fretful

cated,over and ove" agala. it becime important,
and the sense which the House had of such con-
duct ought to be 'manifested. He-acquitted her
legal advisers,-who had in her defence aliewa such
zeal and ability in apholdiag the Constitution,
also of any participation in those violent and se-
ditious productions. But the 'Raise ought to
pause and consider such thing, before paying
honour,and bestowincconapliments ou the party
,who had committed- theni.--(lle.ar, hear!)—lle
begged pardon for' detaining the House: He
wished all that had post to he sunk in entire ob-
livion,—(neas, hear, from he Opposition side.)
—He wished the whole strbjeCt to be tN-ated in

The attentiottof Pirliament ought to be absorbed'
`by the distfesses of the various interests, corn-
mercial and agricultural, and alterations ought
to take place in both systems, so as to prevent
this country from longer remaining the ridicule
of other States.—(llear, heir !)
Mr. HUME expressed' his deep regret that the
lion. Member should havibeen induced tO:eharge
her-Majesty with, having -committed treason. He
wishedMemhers would confine themselves to the
matters contained in the petitions which they had
to present. lie wished the Hon. Member to point
out one passage of the character which he had de,
scribed. He thought this was just like the con-
duct pursued .by Ministers with respect to her
Majesty—unjust, unfair, mean, and unmanly.—
(Cheers.):—What could the Hon. Member wish
for or intend' by making such an unworthy display
in the sight of England ? Surely there would be
opportunities enough upon the various motions
of which-notice. was already given, of stating his
opinions in a manner' which would allow of their
being met and discussed. The. course he
taken was.mean and uujustifiable, :to-ailack an
oppressed female, at "a time when-she could 'not
be prepared to defend .herself. He Was-as ready
and firm a supporter of the State and Constitu-
tion as any man. Ile held the letter which had
be-en mentioned in: his hand, and :there was not
one sentiment in that letter-which-he considered
improper. The -N`ohle Lard and his friends op-
posite hacFloadly.aheereCthe Speech of the Hon.
Member. Let them. lay.' their hands on their
hearts, and say that they felt justified in their
proceedings with respect to her. Majesty, if they
could. Doubtless their 'conduct was such that
thaty were glad'.of any little support, however
small, which they could pick up to justify that
conduct, and hence their grateful cheers, But let
them put themselVes in the situation in which the
-Queen was found at the time of -writing that let.
ter : an undefended female, borne bows by the
vilest, the meanest MeaSures which • could be
adopted.—(hear, hear,-hear!)--ASTlteit he -used
the word meanest, he intended it to be receiv-
ed in its most degradedf sense.—(Hear, hear!!)
—The proceedings against her Majesty were
infamous from beginning to end—a blot upon the
English nation, and every man in it. What Was
the situation of the Queen at that tune ? And if
the principles of the worthy Alder Man should
prevail, what would. hp the condition of the
subjects of this realm? He admitted the wrongs
done to the Queen, he.a.drnitted- all her various
injuries, and then proposed that fresh insults
"Shoald be added. Let the Noble Lord (Gas-
. tlereagh), if ever retlexion met him on his-4)11-
[6w, think of the injuries he had inflicted
on her Majesty,. If Royalty:was to be sup-
ported, the honour due. to each -particular
rack must be yielded to it. If the Monarch

were to be de factolting, Coilsort rfrjsi be

de facto Queen. Would any man deny
,that ?
Was it not the duty of those to whom the affairs
Of the State were entrusted to secure the honour

and respect dne to every bl'anch' of it ? The
Queen had applied to Lord Liverpool for means
of conveyance to this COuntry, 'and received no
answer. Lord Melville hallifiee-n asked for the
use'4='a. vessel io bring her
,acro;s the channel,
which was not granted, though every petty Prince
of Germany was accommodated with" one to

land WEIS, disgraced- by such proceedings, and
rendered ignominious to Poreign. States.--He

proceedod to comment on the nature of the
trial which her Majesty had in part under-

.•
gone► and defended the assertions respecting
it contained in her letter.' lie thought the
writing of that letter justifiable. If that

eta

appeal to the feelings of her Lord and Master
had been successful, the letter itself would
never have met the public. eye: She had de-
manded in it a fair trial. Judging by the prin-
ciples of the Constitution, and the declaration§ of
the Worthy Alderman as tp hiS zeal in supporting
it, her Majesty was not only fully justified in
writing that letter, but every expression in it was
sanctioned, whether he knew it or, not, by the
observations of the worthy Alderman.
‘,ti!Alderitian HEyosTe rose to defend himself
from the attack of the last Speaker. Ile could
not be called unmanly in 'the expression of his
Opihien, for he had done it openly and fairly ; liP
had not retired to holes and Corners. lie did
'not approve of any ofie -of the proceedings against
her Majesty. lie had been challenged to pro-
duce any passage of the character which. he had
given of the letter. 'He had not the' letter by
him, and must trust to memory.—[Mr. Hume
said, " Here is the letter," and forwarded it to
the worthy Alderinan.]-one passage. contained
these 'words, -" Your Court is a scene of IoW
delsanehery." Was- this fit language to address to
the Sovereign ? In the answers to the Addresses
therel were many passages of a worse-character:
" This Bill (of Pains and Penalties) darkens thdperspec-
tive with the probability of a civil war."—(Hear. hear!)
" The time is now come when the soldier and the citizen
are connected and inseparable in interests."—(Hear, hear,
from the Opposition.)"
shall recarel any decision of such a body at no disgrace
or disparaement."
" I shall nut submit to any sentence not likely to be au.
thorised by the decision of a proper Court ut Justice."
If this Bill pass, it may become proper for the people to
con,ider pox far it may be necessary to obey. it as alaw."
" When she toil of the industrious artisan is succerded by
the teats of misery with winch he moistens his liard pillow, it
he Owing to the herd- bvartellness of otiiorrssitm. Per-
the lime is not far.distant whet' this will only exist as
the remetu'irance of a troubled ilrcam."--(llear. bear, -fe,..0
the Opposition.)
The Hon. Alderman quoted several . other pas-
sages from the auswcrs, which he conceived to
be objectionable. If these proofs .failed him, he
must rest the justification of his conduct on the
opinion expressed' relative to this subject by
some of those who were most efficient in support-
ing the cause of her' Majesty. He would, if
not out of order, quote the language of a speech
pronounced by a Noble Earl in th 6 Upper House,
—(Cries of " Order !")—The Bono Alderman
did not wish to transgress, and was proceeding
to take another course, in justification 6f his con-
duct, but upon the repetition of the cry of
" Spoke !" he apologized to the House for hav-
ing exercised their attention so long, and sat
down.
Mr. LOCKMART said he rose to ekpress his ex-
treme-regret at the variance between the tone of
the Honourable Alderman's remarks, and that
ultimate pacific result which he had express-
ed his hope of. The. Honourable Alderman
had alluded to many illegal 'and unconstitu-
tional passages ; and he too had seen with
regret the publication of evidence unusual, if
not illegal, and comments also- on that evidence,
published from day to .daY; he had seen also the
dignity of. a High Court- of Justice violated
without rebuke Or punishment ; he had alio
seen language of the Queen's irresponsible ad-
visers, -which could not but extremely re-
gret. If the constituted authorities, if the At-
torney-General had not.been able to stop such
irregularities in the time which had passed, what
hope was there for the future ? , He bad thought
before he entered the' House, that not only all
proceedings in action would have been aban-
doned, butalsO all proceedings Of omission ; and
it was - with regret that he now understood
time 'Noble Lord (Castlereagh) to say,- and the
Hon. Alderman to' recommend, that her Ma-
jesty's name-should not be' inserted in the Li-
turgy. The Noble Lord assumed that the otitis-
sion was not in the nature. of punishment, but
only an exercise of the Royal Prerogative ; but
it must be, meant. as a 'specific punishment
for a crime not proved, or as a personal
degradat;on. A pecuniary arrangement was pro.
posed 'to the House of Commons ;, but the Minis.
tern had already tried the efficacy of that, and
instead of being an anodyne, as they had hoped,
it appeared to have acted as a stimulus, and- it
could riot be hoped, there-fore, that a proposition
of a similar nature would be attended now with
any different.effect. Now what was proposed to
he done.? To omit her Majesty's name in the
Litergy, though every accusation had been aban-
doned, and to place. her Majesty in the situation
of a person who was not to be mentioned on the
Sabbath-day at the same time with .ottn r Royal
persons ; and thus the illustriqus female was
sent with a disparaged character to hold a
Court. With wealth, and consequently power,
was it probable, so disparaged, that she would
fall into the hands of good advisers Was it
not rather. to be expected that her. irrespon-
sible advisers would continue of the same cha-
racter ? But if her Majesty were placed in
that situation which every innocent person
ought (and he called that person innocent against
whom- nothing had been
,proved), she would
:be surrounded with persons of rank and cha-
racter, and instead of becoming the bane (as
some prognosticated), she would be an ornament
to the country. If her Majesty's character re-
mained stigmatised by the omission from the Li-
turgy, the subject would still excite discontent,
it would be a sort of firebrand, which would
never be extinguished till that which fed it was
renaoved. Whilst the agriculturists were suffer-
ing under a severe pressure, unattended to by

the tegislatiire, would the public, endaro-to se e
their-vital interests neglected- for the vatin punc-
tilios of the Ministers? e'The Learned Gentleman
concluded by declaring, that he spoke not as an
enemy to the Ministers, whose ninaidros, on the
contrary, he had many
years supported, and

ad always applauded, yet he Elitist be permit-

Mr. Alderman 1.11:v-alte sail a few words;
which were not heard in the gallery. •
Lord NUGE:IT said, if the lion. Alderman
could not state the passages, his attack on her,
-Majesty savoured of unmanly barbarity. Con-
sidering the anomalous situation in whizlt
her Majesty had teen placed, it was rather
too nnich to visit her with any severity of
censtire for incautious language ; it was too
like the conduct of Spanish inquisitors, wlio
placed their victim on the rack, and from his
speeches there extracted matter of acctisatiou,
Such conduct was-not min-fly—it was not Vngllsin
lie could not, but agree with the Honourabl4
Alderman, that some passages in the answers to
addresses did not reflect any credit on. the tasty
or education of the composer ; but the censure)
due to that vanished into air when compared
with some of, the answers which his Ma-

jesty had . been advised to give—he alluded
more particularly to a recent instance, the :atiy
swer.of his Majesty to the Address from. the me,
