In the House of Lords, the second reading o
the Royal Divorce or Pains and Penalties Lill

was Blast uight fied. for ThursiWthe 17th (

August. The Earl of Liverpool, in making this
proposition, observed that after the last appeal

which had 'been made to the House on behalf o

. the Queen,' to proceed immediately to the in-
,_vestigatitnt of the charges agaiot.her, it was ne-
-cessary that their Lordshim, could answer that
call as promptly as might be consistent with
impartial justice. Governed by these princi-
ples, it was obvious, in reference to the Assizes-
now about to commence, that the shortest prac-
ticable period at which they could have the ne-
cessary assistance of the Judges was the time
. mentioned ; and should any further. alteration be
;claimed by her Majesty, it would be highly de-
_sifable that her wishes should be made known
to the House in a few days. A more fair or
,equitable course than that proposed by Ministers
.yin this case, has certainly never been pursued-
.
.in any age or country. Were they to comply
with the prayer of the last Petition -of. the
Qqeen, and proceed immediately to trial, severe
complaint might justly be urged against them ;
for her Majesty in that case would lose the ad
vantage of the presence of the Judges during the
examination, of the witnesses against hcr, while
she would go. to trial without any means of .dis-.
_proving the allegations Of the evidence, from her
,having .no witnesses of her own to repel the
heavy-charges which she will have to meet. In-
.stead; therefore, of going to trial under all the
.fearful disadvantages which she seems herself to
invite, the Noble. Prime. Minister of his Majesty,
.in 'the true. spirit of British Justice, proposes that
:course through .which: alone a fair, just, and.
•honest investigation can take place, by procuring
the assistance of the Learned Judges of the laud
to regulate and decide upon the validity of the
.evidence against her, affording her at the same
time every practicable and possible means of de-
fence.• Thus, whatever the result of these im-
portant proceedings may be, it is clear that
:impartial justice is the only end sought to be ob-
tained by Ministers ; and steering the steady
course of rectitude and honour, the.country will
-render due justice to their endeavours in.so very
interesting and important a pursuit.

• • _ [Morning Herald.]
It was said, last night, that a petition or re-
monstrance against the delay already fixed, will
be presented, on the part of her Majesty, to the
Muse this day. It was also understood yester-
day, that the Gentlemen of the house of Com-
mons, usually denominated " the country Gen-
tlemen," had recently met and communicated to
Lord Liverpool certain principles as the basis of
.the proceeding, without which condition their
support would not be given. The suggestion
of farther postponement or suspension by. Lord
•Liverpool, as a substitute for the. specifica-
tion of charges and list of witnesses, seems
wholly unsatisfactory. More delay would make
no difference. If the second reading were put
4-,fr from five weeks to five months, the informa-
tion demanded would be as necessary for sub-
stantial justice" in the latter as in the former
case---and, if, after having heard evidence
in support of the pains and penalties, time
were given to procure witnesses to rebut that evi-,
dence, the party accused would suffer the preju-
dice of imcontradi nted accusatorytestimony during
the interval, which would in this case, probably
amount to two months. " Substantial justice" is
the phrase used by 'Ministers in both Houses,
against the imputed want of . precedents for the
course they have adopted. Will not 46, substan- ,
tial justice" equally excuse any irregularity, if it
exist, in the point before us ? It is doubly expe-
dient that substantial justice should not only be
administered---but that it's administration shOUld
be open and indisputable in this proceeding. In
the first place, by an impartial, liberal, measure
of the means of defence, the Queen may best
prove herself (if she really is) innocent---a
result the most desirable in every view, moral
and political, the most honourable to the Nation
and to the Crown.--Secoridly, if the Queen be
pronounced guilty, but after a fair,.open, strait-
forward trial, the public sentiment and opinion
will move in unison with the , decree of the Le-
gislature. •

be examined at its bar. This offence at once sets
at nought the authority of the Legislature, and
saps the very foundations of justice. What ! is
the highest tribunal in the land to be told " you
shall not examine witnesses ; we, the mob,
ill effectually close the avenues to truth
against
,you, by intimidating and assaulting
those ' persons from wheal alone the 'real
facts are to be. learnt ?" .If sucii a daring viola-
tion of all order be tolerated, we may bid adieu to
the safety even of our very lives; we shall
live under mob-law ; and whosoever becomes
the object Of a savage war-whoop, on the pre-
tence of harbouring the witnesses of the Crown,
may soon fall a victim to the ferocity of the
rabble. It appears, that the persons who landed
at Dover have been again suit oat of the king-
dom by the way of Harwich. This may have
been a prudent precaution, to prevent their being
tampered with; but still the populace must not
be allowed to believe, that the law is not strong
enough to protect witnesses in this country.
