[]Morning Post.]

Mr. Wilberforces's promised motion, having professedly for
its tendency to adjust the unhappy differences subsisting in
the Royal Family, was not made last night, in consequence
of circumstances having occurred which compelled him to
to vary the tenour of it. An impatient feeling being mani-
fested on both sides of the House on this occasion, the worthy
and amiable Member assured them, that were they ac-
quainted with the motives which influenced his conduct,
they would look upon him with contempt if he acted other-
wise than he did. He implored them to believe that what
he asked was from the painful conviction that it was a (ies-,
tion which involved, in an essential degree, the bonoir of
the Crown and the dearest interests of the Country. The mo-
tives of the truly honourable and virtuous Gentleman being
duly appreciated, his appeal to the indulgence of the House
was received with universal cheers; hut both Lord Castlereagh
and Mr. Tierney protested against any further delay; the
former observing, that the consequent evils were beyond cal-
culation great; and the Latter declaring, that if any Anther
delay were to be attempted he would take the sense of the
House upon the subject. Mr. Wilberforce promised nut only
that be would nut delay his motion beyond this day, but
that he would explain the cause which induced him not to
make it last night. lie did not, however, in the remotest
degree explain the nature of his intended
?proposition; and
the rannours upon the subject must therefore he received
with caution. Among others, it is stated that he means to
an Addles" to the Queen, thanking her for the ready
acquiescence she had shown in complying with the wish ex-
pressed by the House, by entering into a negociation for an
arrangcluent ; and enticating her Majesty, as the best means
of accomplishing the desired ens!, to withdraw her pretensions
to have her name restored to the Liturgy, the King's autho-
rity with regard to alterations in it being paramount and
uncontrolable. We mention this report merely as it pro-

-railed yesterday, the truth ai e o whlcb the pro-
ceedings of this evening will prove. In the mean time,
we cannot help expressing our marked disapprobation of
the attempts made by some of our cotemporariei• to pre-
judice the general qUestion; and professedly without bear-
ing or knowing any thing of the nature of the evidence ready
ttl be submitted to Parliament and to the Public, renounc-
ing the whole charges to be unfounded. Truth is often dis-
figured; facts are often exaggerated ; darker shades of guilt
are often thrown upon error than it deserves ; but when has
human depravity been carried so far as to unite many, very
many individuals, of different degrees of rank, character,
and statloili, into a deliberate confederacy for the purpose of
inventing calumnies against spot4ss 'innocence, and of so
dexterously con! riiing all the parts, all the probabilities, all
the bearings
,of ,those calumnies, as to deceive hanonrable,
acute, disinterested, and cautious men! This is a supposition
which the common knowledge of Mankind, and the experi-
ence of human life, do not warrant. as many things
arc possible which do nut appear probable, this may be among
them; and if any consideration could induce us to favour the
exposure of the disgusting and sbuching allegations in the
present instance, it would be the hope that they might hi pus-,
sibility be disproved.
