SOLER QUIS DICERE FALSUM

LONDON,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 17, 18. W.

If we may judge from the language of ,the
Opposition Writers, with all their pretended
zeal Tor HER MAJESTY, they betray a conviction
of the guilt imputed to her, and deem it neces-
sary to divert the public mind from the main
question to considerations op subjects that are of
little importance compared with it., For this pur-
pose they are filling their columns with an Inquiry
as to who is the Prosecutor of THE QUEEN, and
who were the Founders of the Milan Commission.
The main and essential question relates to the
guilt or innocence of THE QUEEN. The high
tribunal be►`ore whom the trial proceeds will
strictly weigh and impartially balance the evi-
dence on both sides, arid decide accordingly.
Whatever our own opinions may be on the nature
of the conflicting evidence, we shall cautiously
forbear to express-them, and it is incumbent on
all honest men to do the same. Will any body ven-
ture to say, that after the rumours afloat on every
part of the Continent, imputing the most dishonour-
able conduct to a Princess likely to become THE
QUEEN of this Country, the Government of this
Country should' have suffered them to pass with-
out inquiry into their truth or falsehood ? Minis-
ters would have shewn little respect to His
MAJESTY and to' the Country by such careless,
neutrality. It was an imperative duty on them
towards their KING and their Country to set an
inquiry on foot, and to probe the rumours to the
bottom. The precarious state of his late MA-
JESTY rendered his demise highly probable, and,
when the melancholy event o9curred, were they
not bound to ascertain whether the future QUEEN
was worthy of sharing the rights of Sovereignty ?
Mr. TIERNEY' put this question in a proper light
in the House of Commons, and justly asserted
that his MAJESTY was entitled to that right which
his meanest subjects enjoyed, namely, to rid himself
of an unworthy Consort,if she was proved to be so.
Hence the Milan Commission was properly insti-
tuted, and a Gentleman was selected of high ta-
lents and experience, and whom the Lorin CHAN-
CELLOR declared, after au intimacy of nearly
fifty years, to be one ,of the most honourable men
he had ever known during tire whole of that pe-
riod. This Gentleman was selected for the in-
quiry, and sent abroad for that purpose.—Such
was the ORIGIN of the Milan Commission—a
Commission founded in justice and a due regard
to the honour of the Sovereign and the Country,
but which the seditious Writers, who pretend to
be actuated by a regard for THE QUEEN, have
most audaciously characterized as A CONSPIRACY
against her !—Now as to the question who is the
Prosecutor ?—The fair answer is, the BRITISH
LEGISLATURE. Ministers, as their duty impe-
riously demanded, collected the Charges, and
haying first submitted them to the head of the
State, received his sanction to lay them before
the other two branches of the Constitution, by
whose concurrence they became the object of
Legislative inquiry. The KING would have
shewn little regard to his own honour and to that
of his Country, if lie had acted otherwise, and
forbidden all investigation of Charges vitally in-
volving the character of the Empire. The LE-
GISLATURE then, THE STATE ITSELF, is the
PROSECUTOP. ; and whatever her pretended
friends, but real enemies, the enemies of the
Country also, may say, 'TIE QUEEN herself must
know that she is sure of the most just arid ho-
nourable decision. That the decision may fully
vindicate her character, and enable her to possess
all those rights to which her innocence will be
entitled, must be the anxious wish of a wise, a
generous, a inoral, and a religious People.

JOHN HA Ts trz , ESQ.-It would be an injustice
to very distinguished merit not to mention the
death of this Gentleman with..sincere regret.
From the moment of his introduction to the House
of Commons, in an official capacity, be conceived
it to be his duty to obtain all possible know-
ledge of that duty, and he fulfilled it with the
utmost diligence, rectitude, and ability. His
Tracts on the nature and extent of Parlia-
mentary Powers and Privileges, as well as all
its rules and forms, are highly valuable and int,
portant. His private life was marked by all that
correctness which characterized his public duty,
and with every quality that could excite and re-
tain respect, confidence, and friendship.

His Majesty's ship Tyne arrived yesterday at
Portsmouth from Lima and the Brazils ; when
she left the former place she had on board up-
wards of three millions of dollars. By this arrival
we leart► that the 'Hyperion frigate, Captain
SEA LE, arrived at Valparaiso on the 22d of June,
from a cruise a Juan Fernandez.
