LONDON ,
SATURDAT, OCTOBER '2l, 1820.

The transactions developed in the course of the
Proceedings against THE QCT,EN, have excited
disgust in all the sounder part of the People,
and the duration of the Ttial is likely to exhaust
their patience. There seems to be more COM-
DIDD sense, with a due regard to substantial jus-
tice, and the dignity of the august Tribunal, in
the opinions of Lord DONOUGHMOHE, than in
those of every other Peer, not immediately con-
nected with Government Ministers are deli-
cate and reluctant to utter their sentiments
freely, because their own conduct is concerned
in the institution and event of the Trial. Lord
DONOUGIIMORE speaks like an independent
and itnt;artial Judge, who has nothing in view
but the discovery of truth, and the adminis-
tration of substantial justice. His Lordship
justly observed, that 'the charge of Conspiracy
had nothing to do with the main purpose of the
Inquiry, viz. the guilt or innocence of the accused
Party. Is the mass of the evidence to be rejected
because some of the witnesses may 'have been
corrupt ? Has not enough heen.brought forth to
justify a satisfactory decision one way or other ?
We say, Yes, without saying on which side we
determine, leaving that to the wisdom and justice
of the Legislature. It is natural that the Coun-
sel for the accused, should endeavour to mpg&
the House, as they apparently attempted to do,
on the alleged Conspiracy, but the judgment
of the House properly put an end to that
technical subtlety. But the world has now
made up • its mind, and is itnpatiett for the
result. In our humble opinion, it is full time
to proceed to judgment, and in that opinion
we confidently believe we are supported by all
wise and honest men. A Morning Paper, uni-
versally despised for the gross and atrocious
part which it has taken in this lamentable busi-
ness, one of the most unfortunate that ever befel
the Country, says, in reference to the Secret
Committee, formed for the examination of the
correspondence between Colonel BROWN and
Mr.Powtm,, " What eqUivalent she (the QUEEN)
or her Counsel is to derive from the labours of a
Secret Committe, it is not easy in this stage of
the business to perceive ; however, thanks to
ALMIGHTY GOD, her case stands in need of no
such aid !" We shall' make no comment on this
conscious falsehood, and shocking impiety, but
leave the guilty Paper to the abhorrence and
execration of mankind.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday and Wednesday last.—The following
are extracts :
