LONDON JOURNALS,

[DAILY EX7RACT4I.]

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS.

[Morning Post.]

This day the investigation of the Charges
against the QUEEN coMmences in the House of.'
Lords. Her Majesty will certainly attend in
person,_and will go to the House about ten o'clock
for that purpose. A Chair pf State of a peat
form, covered with crimson velvet, and all the
mouldings gilt, together with a footstool, was
yesterday evening placed about three feet from
the bar, and the same distance on the right of
the centre of the house, for her accommodation.
Her Majesty's back will • therefore be towards
the Counsel and Ordinary, and she will front
the Throne, Woolsack, and Table. She goes
-exactly in the order, and with the same equi7
page, described in our Paper of Monday last.
With a view; to afford every practicable,
.accom-
modation to strangers or auditors, which the ne-
cessarily straitened limits of the House can
afford, it was ordered by their Lordships yes-
terday, as will be seen by our Parliamen-
tary Report, that no Lord shall give more
than one order of admission on any one day,
and that such order Shall be regularly dated and
signed and sealed by, such Lord ; that as the
space below the ba'r wilt now hold but a very
limited number, none but the Archbishops,
Dukes, Marquesses, and Earls, shall give orders
for the first (this)' day; that the residue of the
Lords, as Viscounts, Bishops, and Barons, shall
give orders on the next or second day, and so on
alternately while the proceedings continue.—We
have authority to say, that in order to give faci-
lity of access to the Peers attending their duty
in Parliament on the present occasion, directions
have been given for all Members of the House
of Lords to pass in their carriages, during that
period, through the gates of the Greets and, St.
James's Parks, including that of the Horse Guards.
Every possible precaution continues to be taken
to preserve the public peace. A numerous de=
tachment of the Guards is lodged in the apart-
camas in the rear of the Court of Common Pleas,
which look into the line of communication be-
tween Old and New 'Palace Yard; 'formerly
known as St. Margaret's-street; across the en-
trance of which a harricadO is erecting, with
space, of course, for the passage of carriages.
Numerous parties of those fine corps, the Horse
Guards, will patrol Whitehall, and New and

Old Palace Yards, in like ma►finer as in cases of
impeachment. Cavalry and Infantry will be on
duty: in various parts of the metropolis; the
Light Horse Volunteers, the East India House
Regiment, the River Fencibles, the Police
Horse Patrole (a fine and formidOle body of
men), and an immense number of constables, will
also be on duty ; and, as a further measure of
necessary precaution, all the men belonging to
the several Fire Offices of the metropolis are
under orders to afford their assistance, if called
upon for that purpose. With these judicious and
laudable precautions,. hopes may reasonably be
entertained that the public tranquillity will not
be disturbed.

[Morning Chronicle.]
In the House of Lords last night Lord Hol-
land intimated 'his intention of putting, on an
early day, some questions to his Majesty's Mi-
nisters, with regard to the Russian Notes on the
affairs of Spain, some passages of which, he con-
ceived, threaten&l the tranquillity.. of Europe.
The Earl of Liverpool said, that he should
be prepared to give the Noble Lord satis-
factory explanation on the subject alluded to by
him; and in the mean time he would observe,
that there was nothing in our relations with Spain
which at all threatened the continuance of a good
understanding between the two Countries. We are
glad to learn that • Ministers have determined'
to treat her Majesty with the respect to which
she is entitled in her passage to and from the
house, by ordering a guard of honour to attend
her. We do not. entertain the least fear of any
tumultuary proceedinas on the part of the people.
There is a mighty difference betwden"reprobating
the adoption of any particular proceedings, and
attempting to.resist the Constitutional Legislature
of the Country% Within the limits of the law,
the people will be disposed- to exert themselves
in favour of. her Majesty, but beyond this we are
convinced they will not 'go. Resistance is a
right of Which rneri never avail themselves under
any Governniefit which is at all 'adequate to its
purpose.
