" Social order has experienced an alarming check in Eng-
laud, -inconsequence of. the unexpected result that the fa-
mous trial of the Queen has experienced in the Upper Hoose•
It would he in vain to seek to dissemble the full effect of this
result; it is of a nature to cause sorrow to all the friends of
morality and true liberty; and however little disposed one
may he to exaggerate the consequences of political events, it
would be difficult to imagine that social principles could be so
manifestly injured in a free country; without at the. same
time fearing that incalculable misfortunes might spring trout
such a subversion. There is, perhaps, but one method for
us to prevent the fatal t Ifect that such an example might
exercise over our own country; that is to investigate it ; to
call to our assistance reason and truth, in order to extract
some useful advantage from the faults of our neighbours;
such is the only motive which induces us to pablish, our re-
flections oo the rejection of the, Bill of Pains brought against
the Queen of England.
"• After the scandal which the proceedings of. such a trial
must have given to all Europe, nothing could be more dis-
graceful than the manlier its which it terminated. Thus then
has the curiosity of the whole world been for' three months
excited by details equally injurious ft public morality and
mortal chy ! The most lewd images have profaned the sanc-
tuary of the first assembly of a nation. Facts the must dis-
gusting were brought forward, and When theseverity of a sen•
tence could scarcely compensate for• the prejudice done- to
society by the publication of these scandalous investigations
the dread of a popular tumult stopped the proceedrogs of the
judges. It was then to outrage-justice herself that her sacred
countenance was to behold such images. The faults of the
Queen of England have been displayed in the clearest light ;
her guilt established upon proofs unfortunately •toti evident
was acknowledged bye majority of the English Peers, only to
obtain a more complete triumph over religion, morality, and
human justice, Rejoice, ye inhabitants of London; let your
City blaze with illuminations; fill the air with your shouts lit
triumph !—You have proved to Europe that social corruption
was supported in your Country by nntnerieal force anti popu-
lar power ; you have taught your wives and daughters that
lewdness is no longer blameable in your e 3 es; you have re-
vealed to human passions that in your society morality and
justice no longer side with public opinion and liberty!
" It is the first time, perhaps, since the establishment of
the Representative System iii England, that social principles
have experienced in this country so violent a shock. During
the course of a career which was never exempt front difficulty
and embarrassment, many seditious, many popular coimuo-
Mins, at times even marked with very reprehensible excesses,
had accompanied the progress of public aff tits ; but if the
progression of events followed in the midst of co:on-lotions
and disorder, these events in themselves always concurfed to
the interests of order; am as Governments cartonly he judg-
ed atalistant periods but by the results that they obtain, no
motive, in spite of the commotions that manifested them-
selves among the English, was yet found, that could create a
future alarm for a society where the principles of civilization
seemed to be in full vigour.
" How much, therefore, must those principles_ have been
weakened in the country of -a Pitt or a Burke, when the
Queen could find in the situation in which she was placed by
the Bill of Pains and Penalties, the support of so consider
able a multitude, that the Justice of Parliament was compell-
ed to yidd before her ! How many calamities are to be feared
for is country where Justice yields to the multitude ; where
liberty,,far from being in accord with morality, openly de-
clares herself against it ?
" It will not be amiss to observe, that the rejection of the
Bill, is partly owing- 'to the systematic opposition that was
formed, under the name of the interest of morality, against
the Ministers, for having entered upon this scandal ms trial :
; The Queen is guilty,' said the members of this Opposition,
'but Ministers were wrong to bring her to justice; there,
fore we will vote against this Bill of the- Ministers Thus,
in the interest of morality, you pronounce for the-impunity
of a crime whicly you have acknowledged. Because the Mi-
nisters erred against judgment, you must err agAinsl
morality, for the interest of morality; was it not thus
that our Doctthatires voted last year in favour of the
enemies lit the Throne, for the interest of the Throne,
because Ministers by attackMg revolutionary faction, ran.the
risk of provoking it, and exciting it to, rebellion ? Wcv to the
countries who have such logicians to dirt et their affairs ! rea-
son anti common sense cannot exist long in an assembly coin,
posed of such enlightened members."
