short conversation took plaCe in -are Millie
lof 'Commons 'on Saturday, on the subject of a ,re-
fusal to return to the Queen a 5 rv,i.c.o. of; plate
ordered for her by his late Majesty, (and which
she deposlted in the Lord ,Chaintierlain's Office.
on 'her departuiv from England), in-Consequence
of its being understood to be. Crown property.
There is eVidently . a misunderstanding vespect-
ins this affair, which will be duly explained
in the House this day. - We shall -not there,
tore at pr6setit offer any observations upon the
subject ; contenting ourselves with the
pression of our Tezref,. that Dr. Lushington
(oue of the Queen's'' professi'onal Advocate's),
should have brought the question forward in the
absence of the Only .Minister (Lord Castlereagh)
who could possibly speak to it, "from the couttse
admitted by the Learned -Docior. to have been
previously taken by her Majesty's Counsel. Well
might the Chancellor of the Exchequer complain
that he as well as the 'House, hadlJeen taken by
surprise on the occasion. The Noble Secretary
of State, we have reason to believe, will give an
explanation every way satisfactory upon this
subject.

It is now ascertained and a7owed that the ar-
ticles ,published in a Sthiday Paper; entitled
" Memoirs of the Qi_teeu,': and which were sup-
posed to have been put forth as tier defence,
peared in print so far back as'the year 1817, as
part of the journal of astraveller in Italy, in no
respect 'connected- with, or sanctioned -by, her
Majesty.--e(lbitt;)-•
We are autivirAe'd.' to *con.tradiet the statement
which has appeared in a"WeeklY and some other
Paper, respecting 0.0 suite ;iVitiCh ac-
companied her Majesty wheii' she left England as
Princess of Wales, in 1814, at leastsas'fai• as' it

regards' one individual who formed put of the
said suite. Lady ElizahenTorbes had leaVe of
absence from her Royal Highness, unSolicited on
her part.---(lbid.)

[Morning Chronicle.]

Notwithstanding all that has been said and
done, a rumour was on Saturday prevalent that
an accommodation May Yet. he expected to take
place. It is said that the Duke of York has had
an interview with his Maksty, and has.. made
such representations '0 Maj= lead to this desirable
end.

There -is no doubt, in the event of.the House
of Lords proceeding with-the, discussion_of the
Bill of Pains and Penalties, that her Majesty, as
was the case with Queen Catherine, willattend in
person during the whole investigation.---(Mid.)

•The Queen has been led into an error respect,:
ing_:the plate which= his late Majesty allowed her
to use while in _Kensinton Palace. The King
could -nat.:make a present of the plate belonging
to the Crown. It is not unusual for an order -to
issue for plate from the Jewel- Office to Princes
of the Blood,- while resident in any of the Royal
Palaces. Such an order. was -made for her-Ma-
jesty while Princess of Wales, and a. 'similar issue
was made for the Duke of Cambridge, but,they
both sent them back, and they were ,returned to
the Jewel.ollice.,--(ibid.)
The report of the death of Madame Servini,
'otherwise Marchioness of Solari; is denied. It
was so confidently stated on Friday, That we felt.
it our duty to mention it, though we -hid 'passed
her in the street but three days befoire.', We un-
derstand that her testimony was nottiecepted by
GoVernment. The paragraph on the.- subject has
been called by a Ministerial Journal, « a. wicked
and wanton misrepresentation." Our readers
will do us the justiceto say, that no part of our ,
conduct in the proceeding against -her Majesty
deserves such an imputation ; for though hoStile
to the ,form of inquiry, we have 4:i.hserved the
most cautious` decorum, in not irritating 'the pub-
lic mind by unseasonable animadversions. We

have,.. from the beginning, conceived it to be es-
sential both to the dignity of the Crown, and to
the character of the lilustrious Personage, that
the reports 'concerning her should be brought
into a course of judicial investig4aticq, but not
that all the rules and regulations in daily prac-
tice, for the protection of .a party accused- against
the mighty influence-of Government, sliduld be.
set at. nought.;:--(ibid.) • •

It not our practice to seize on and -exaggerate
