—he dissented from‘ their 'notions of wisdom.
It any thought that an opposite conduct was more
respectable—he desired none of their respect. It
any thought that an opposite conduct was mote
popular—they libelled the people ; for lie did not
fear that his motives woult: be propetly estimated,
at least by the respectable part of the people;
anti at all events he was secured against any vi-
cissit4de of opinion in the SCIOU Snell of having
acted rightly. He should then sit down with de-
claring, that his advice to her Majesty would be
such, as tended, in the bust manner, according
his judgment, to serve her interests—the interests
of :he Country at large; althc.ugli his advice
might bring him under partial reptehetision.
'(Hear, hear.)
Lord CitsTetlusaGn had not selected the posi-
tion which he was about to occupy as a matter of
preference. He felt the di.atlVJotage of rising'
under the influence of the .Address made by the
Honontab,le and Learned Gentleman to the House.
lint although that Honourable and Learned Gu-
demi-us had endeavoured to merge his'eharaeter as
her 'Majesty's Legal Adviser into that of l‘hmher
or that House, it-was only a proof of his skill as
an advocates—[Here Mr. Brougham having left
the House, the Noble Lord sat daWit, stating that
he should wait tar the return of the Honourable
and Learned Member, as it would be impossible
that due justice shiodd be -done to the question,
if the arguments which he had to offer were de-
livered in his absence.]
After-a pause of a few minutes,
Mr. 'I tense was understood to inquire across
the table, whether the Noble Lind intended to
persist in his resolution
Lord CASTLEREAGH repeated, that he chose to
wait the Lion and Learned Member's return.
Mr. TIeRSIBY then suggested that as. another
Hon. Member had 'offered to speak on the ivies'.
lion, (Mr. Bankes bad risen at the same time 'with
Lord Castlereagh), the House might perhaps now
think it prUper to hear him.
Mr. BANKES having, however, continued silent,
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he did not wish
to interfere with the. proceedings of the. ficnise•
He was disposed,:rither than .be -a check to the
discussion, to address them at a later period of
the evening, as it had been his intention to do,
had it not been for some parts of the speech of
the Hon. anti Learned Gentletnau who had for
the present retired. There was nothing before
the House but the motion of his Hon. Friend
(Mr. Wilberforce), which he did not mean to op-
pose.- He had, in fact, only got up ini Other to
explain certain points in consequence of Whit had
fallenfrom the.Lear,ed Member,
After So-ute initiates bad thpsed in agitated ex-
pectation,

..Mr. MARTIN, of Galway,.addressed the House from the
gallery. Except he. had.pereeived that the House was totally
unoccupied, by should not have ventured to say a few words
on a matter of such grave importance.--(Laughter.)-4f, how-
ever, something like argument hould fall front so humble an
individual as hiinselt,-it would serve to show how much mole
might flow front othyrs agailist the_ proposition of the Hun.
and Learned Gentleman, that her Majesty's name should be
replaced in the Liturgy,
,Tlicre was one, answer which he
thought was decisive on the subject. This answer was, that
the introduction ,uf ber•Majesty's name into the Liturgy
would he a total pepartn re front the agreement.—Jlear, hear,
hear !)—For the-agreement expressedly stated that his Ma-
jesty was nut to.he called upon to retract or retrace any step
which he had taken, nor her Majesty to admit any thing.
He therefore asked whether it would not be, not only a re.
tyaetation in the latter, but in substance au admission that
his Majesty should do that which no moan could call upon a
gentlethin to do—that was to subscribe a declaration that he
had been a calumniator. For on what principle did the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman demand the restoration of the
Queen's name in the Liturgy, but that her,Majesty had been
He sincerely limped that the charges laid before
the, House .rnight turn out to he unfounded; but it would be
to depiit front the basis of the negociation, if, after his Ma-
jesty had declared that there was matter of imputation in
those papers, which assertion leis Majesty was . not prepared
to deny, he shoUld be called upon to make the proposed re-
tractatiun. ,Had the Honourable and,. Learned Gentleman
referred the ease,to the Twelve Judges, and had those Judges
declared that it was omit.. her Majesty's name, re-
' storing it would not produce the effect which the Learned
Member seemed to .anticipate. It could not establish inno-
cence like the result of an inquiry,

At ibis moment Mr. BROUGHAM having re-en
ter the House,

Lor►t CA.STLBRIIAGII was understood to explain
across the table, that he had not proceeded with
his speech on account of the absence of the lion.
and Learned Member.

Mr. BROUGHAM contended that he ~ad a right
to retire to what place he thought proper. It was
quite onpreeedenled to insist that a Member who
bad a severe complaint in his chest should be com-
pelled to sit the whole evening in that House.
Lord CASTLEREAGH was ready to delay his ob-
servations to any period of the evening
,which
might be more convenient for the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman. In tact, 'he had thought
it more respectful to that Learned Gentleman to
await his return. And be thought. it inipossible
that they should Understand each other, or that
the House should perfectly undessiand them, un-
less the discussion was carried on when both of
them were present.

Alter a few words from Mr.. BROUGUi%M,
Lord CASTLAtiIiAGii resumed- tie was very
sorry that any -thieg should have occurred toin-
terrupt the perfectly good understanding- that. pre-
vaned between him and the lion. ail Leatned
(3cotlentan. Ile had felt nothing but pleasure
from the intercourse anti communications with
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, preparatory in
an adjupt went of the unfortunate existing dale-
it net s ; and he had experienced a fa,:ility in 00/1'
ducting the' discti'ssions fioni the clearness of un-
derstanding manifested by him. The negociation
wdS fit4W Completely under the view of the House,
and there was hardly a point of the question not
Within their cou4prehension. But the point to
which he wished principally to direct his remarks
was that branch of the argument relative to
the restorati:;ti of her .M4jesty's nanie to the
Liturgy; because .that bad been represented
as . the one point which his Majesty's ;Nisi-
nisters might easily yield—as the 'one .graie
concession which the Government Lnig4„

, . .
orJy heil666 of ar4i:'
sisteticy on their own part; or of dignity
of: that of the CrOwn; ,brit with a real accession
of dignity to his Majesty—as the one which, in
consequence of an erroneous construction of law,
anti all other considerations, ought to be con-
ceded. Ip arguing that questiooi he was per-
fectly ready,to meet the :Hon. and Learned Gen-
tleman on the ground. of the responsibility of Mi-
nisters for their advice to his Majesty; he was
prepared to put it on the broadest ground of re-
sponsibility. If, on the principles of the Co!:sti,
lotion, the law, Hod the practice of former times,
he did not establish to tite Hottse that, uoder, all
the circumstances, the svivice which he and :his
colleagues had. given the King was that which, as
goad subjects, they owed him, he and they would
stand coudemtied. With respect to the law, if it
was so clear, that his ,'Majesty's Ministers had
nothing- to
:do but to substitute the name of the
Queen _for that of Princess of Wales, the-iden-
tity being seen, then insoltiog would have re-
mained for, the Government but to execute that
duty as a matter .of'course ; and if the ,law
were so cleatly.settled not a step taken .hy his
Majesty's Government would indicate disposi-
tion to hesitate at the adoption ,of that step.—
They had never sliewn any reluctance in the House
to acknowledge that her Alajesty was de jure
Queen of; this realm —(Hear, hear,. hear!))—ant)
all the propositions tirade to ,her Majesty abroad
went :on the basis, not• that she should renounce
herltoyal character or rights, but only abstain
from the exercise of certain of the latter. He
begged leave to.deny the iuterpretation of the:law
given by the Hon. anti Learned Gentleman; he
denied that the words of the statute wete per-
emptory, and Ite,sai.d that the law did oorimpose.
npop the Ctotvu the necessity of inserting its the
Liturgy tise names of all those who fell withinthe
description of the " Kisig,,Qaeen,:and the Royal
Progeny." And when they examined history, they
would that .so far from ibis ptinciple being
invatiably acted on as establishetL law Isom ,the
rime of the Act of Uniformi:y, a discretion had
been constantly _exercised by the Council to include
or omit the names in question ,according to its
view of the circumstances of each case.He protested
against he doctrine, that it was a conclusive stig-
ma on every Member of the Royal Family to have
been included within the names:prayed for at one
period and excluded at another. If they looked
to other .times, down from the Revolution, !bey
would find that:there ..was no eat ablished.principle
of selection, but that it was arbitrary, and differ-
ent at different 'times. The insertion of the name
was given to several not within the description. in
the statute ; for example to the Princess Sophia.
The Noble-Lord then adverted to the fact of the
Doke of Cumberland's name having been expunged
from the Liturgy, by the directioo of his late Ma-
jesty, at the commencement.of his reign. lie quoted
the, case of the Consort ,of GeorgeT, Hod of
:Peince George of Dennisik, the husband of Queen
Anne, whtise names were not Introduced into the
Prayer•:book ; and in fact, there was no end to the
cases _in which a discretionary power, had been
exercised. The °lily question. there Core was,
whether on the present occasion that discretion:had,
been wisely exercised The lion_ and Learned-
-I.pcntleman had said, that the :erasure had taken
' place in contemplation of some proceedings against
,the Queen at law, or before Parliament, founded.
.on.the Tapers on the table. Against this obser-
vation -protested, ; .it was
.not founded in
fact. So far from ,its being then the deter-
mination of his Majesty,'s, Ministers to 'pro-
P9s4 inyestigatiou rote, these papers, th:it
,they .;ball resorted to, every expedient, and
used every effott, to avert tha,t public c,:lamity,
and it- Wdg out), %%heti the Queen returned- that
they found themselves compel:led by a painful
sense of duty tO advise his Majesty to: lay. the
Papers before the House. . He hoped that be and
his Colleagues had never confounded charge with
guilt. lito they were then in possession or infor-
!nation, which, if true, established the most grave
charges against her Majesty. It was for. them to
consider, whether being possessed of that infor-
mation, . which, nothing but the absence of the
Queen could excuse them from lay* before Par-
liament, they should call. upon the King to rer
quire the people to bestow their prayers on that
illustrious lady by name, and they bad come
to the conclusion, that it , was not consistent
with their duty to give such advice to the Crown.
The Hon., and Learned Gentlemen, her Majesty's
legal advisers, he conceived, had thought the
question of the Liturgy a point as light as air, for
at first nothing had been heard of it •} the' rights
of the Queen, de jure.and de facto, was the pri-
mary point :, if The other had been considered of

such vital importance, upon what ground
.they
bad suffered the Queen to negotiate 'under ,a
dejusion-7(l.lear, bear)—be could ,not say.
He regretted to say, that it had been too much

the character of that negocialion to forget in

every, stage of it all the an eeedent ptOceed-
ings.—(Flear, hear.)—Fie must fairly acknow.
ledge that he, had felt the :question to be dif-
ferent from the m.,thent the charge •.vas laid on

the table. The Noble Lord continued, that be
had not been ten minutes in contetence with the

Hon. and Learned Gentlemen, before they agreed
on the basis, that his Majesty could not retract
any thing which he had been 'advised to do; but
now, the Honourable and Learned Gentlemen

wished to bring back the question ter beybnd the
point at winch they were before agreed. if
the Ponburable and Learned Gentleman had

bought that her Al4jesty's honour conk! not

be saved without haying her narne• in the Li,

ile • was satisfied the •Ht,tiourable and Learned
Gentleman was- too able an advocate to omit
any step essential to his duty, 'and if he had
felt the question of the Liturgy was a sine qua
;toff, it was a duty which he. owed to his
client and to his Majesty's Gbiernment to bring
it forward ; but he had brought -forward
three Whet points, and that writ tic): among
them ; had that point been put off at first as'
a part of the basis, n hich, in con-noon fairness,
as a emoting! point, it ought to have been, it
would have terminated the negociation at sure ;
hot he did not believe Heti it was at that
rime in the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's mind,
and he trusted that the noose would not now
agree with hint in thinking, that it ought:to ferns
apart of the ariangement. The reason why he
(Lord Castlereagh) considered. the position of the
Crown as different now troni what it was before
the Papers were laid on the table was this,
till then .Ivhatevet:
_rumours were abroad were
merely rumour's, and tint 'communications ; but
front the moment that information • was emu-
monicaied, it. became improper in his Ma-
jesty's Governtnent to retrace any steps taken
preceding, every thing nut ineolv,ing that it was
open to his Majesty's Ministers to advise. 11-.
had feet that the question of the Litorgy.w as our a
question of law; 'it it could have been so consi-
dered, the Government would have fah it as the
greatest possible relief ; but Cis Majesty's Minis.
:ters had then considered as a qoeition of dis-
cretionary power, and had advised his INhjesty
accordingly ; an,t, without assuming the infornia-
tiott laid on the table, to be true, it was impossi-
ble for the Ministers of his Majesty to have given
other advice. lf, therefore, his Majesty's tio-
veroment were not called Opals to retract any
thing, and the House taking into its c,,D.
sideration the e'etiditress evinced :by her Majesty
to meet any charge against her, had doubtless
the power, and might deal with the matter ac-
'cording to the view of his 11(1-pourable Friend
(Mr. Wilberforce); bat he loped that the netase
would not come to any decision tivthich would give
the stamp of untruth upon that which inquiry
had not justified, and that
,they would be sati,fied
c
the Crown ;tad given the ouirry every chance
of avoiding this painful diacumion.. Though the
Ministers shad informed .bet Majesty that
the necessary consequences of her coming to
this country would be ingyiry in Pailiatuenr,
he trusted the House would allow they bad not
discovered a pertit:cioa. disposition -Co adhere
to that inquiry, ox any. desire to introduce diffi-
culties, or cause. the failure of the negotiation.
Short of the retrayrationi of the Crown Iron) the
position taken tip, they would be most happy to
be enabled to join in the endeavours to avoid that
most. painful ingot' y., In justice, in gent:rusoy,
it was incumbent on the House, if. the Queen
thought it consistent with her position to agree
to its wishes, to pin' the most fitvocsrable
atroetion on her. concession. i` jf contiotted.yle
Noble Lord) Lis Majesty's ;Ministers recede, they
may disgrace therns, Ives, but will not afford any
.reljef.to her Majesty, and .if we could. retract „the
advice. which we have given, we -should be time

The Noble Lord said he was favourable to the
proposition of his Hon. Friend. (Mr. Wilberforce)
because it did not at all intake any part of the
merits of he case ; but it the system of t,rgiv:r-
Silion-',ot Attempting. to forget .a hash but re-

to yield every thing, not Taconiisteot a iii, Ole

.of the Crown to grant, and from tbst
counsel he for one could never 'recede.
Loud ARCHIBALD Hamiurox said, that when
he twice asked the Honourable Gentleman
what the object of his' intitiOn was to he, he did
so its older to know niliat course he should adopt
with respect to the arnentlinent he had to grove.--
He declared that he did thi's unconnected with any individual
concerned.; and that he feared as mach as any man the public
investigation of this case. At the sante time he believed that the
proposition he had to make would have more effect in getting
rid of those unfortunate differences tbau the vroposition of
the Honourable Gentleman. What was that proposition ?
Why, that the party injured should suffer herself to be still
further injured, in order to receive n species of partial and
contingent relief. He had ion; ,intruded to submit a
similar preposition to that which he now intended to lay
before the House. He agreed with his Honourable and
Learned Friend, and the Noble Lord, that whatever the
King had done was under the advice of his Councillors ; it
therefore could not be derogatory to his dignity to forego that.
advice. The Hon. Gentleman had said that her Majesty was
prayed for under the title of " all the Royal Fatuity." If
that were so, why might not his Majesty, King George ft%
be prayed for under the title of 'e all the Royal Fazoily.'', He
would acquit the Hon. Gentleman of any intently!' of treat-
ing. these matters lightly. or ot= thinking that the prayers of
the people should be understood to be offered op for the
Queen; and that there wits tor necessity for her being prayed
for..ln tact, he had received lettei s from Magistrates and Cler-
gymen, who stated that the Queen was still prayed for in niany
Maces without the possibility of the disobedience of the Order
in Council being punished by any court of law in tier country.
,He read extracts of two letters in proof of the fact of Clergy-
men praying for the Queen, and declaring that they witild do
su until silenced by authority. It was rather hard upon the
respectable body of the Clergy fhat they should be charged
with disloyalty on one hand,, or with disobedience to an im-
plied order on the other. He charged Ministers with acting
in opposition to law by sending an order to omit the Queen's
