of their Lordships, by means of that Bill, to cut that holy tie.
lie objected to it, because the litishand did not come to coal- .1
plain ;• for it was distinctly averred that the complaint was not
front lOsAlajesty, and no ingenuity had beets able to extort •
from his Learned Friend (the Attorney-General), who was
his client, and their Lordships were called upon to dissolve
a marriage without any one appearing to claim the divorce.
Their Lordships won't' allow lion to state, that the story
of the dishonour, &c. were mere pretences, and the author
of the Bill, whoever he might be, did not himself believe
one .word of it. The Learned Gentleman proceeded to
comment upon the conduct of one of her Majesty's former
advisers, who wasnow arrayed .ag-ainst her with documentary
evidence in one haunt and the Bill in the other. At the time •
her. Majesty was advised respecting her going abroad,
all
was to be tranquillity, and peace, and. happiness, and free-
dom. . He asked why, since the slanders against her Majesty
had acquired consistency more than four vears ago, why all
proceedings had sburibered ? why no friendly voice was heard
to p,onounce the werd,f,f, return," by which alone au end

ture to say, that the man who had ventured to have sug-
ge-sted the propriety of advising her Majesty's return to this
country
.would -have Intel the doors .of the Court dung in his
fare. At the last, when her Majesty was about to return, she
was; offered the eonservation of her rights as Queen, and an
increased income, and no question made ahout.the adulter-
ous intercourse, on one condition, namely, a continued resi-
dence abroad. After that, was it possible to believe one
particle of the Bill? Her Majesty's landing raised all the •
phantoms which had been conjured up against her, but even
her settiug her foot on the English shore would not of itself

tvhich haul been used, and thereby exposing the authors of it,

from-such motives that their Lordships were called upon to
carry on the.proceedings. lie would close his observations,
nut because he had not more to urge, but because as their
Lordships were men of justice, men of counsel, and men of
horlour, he had-said enough tit convince them, that by dis-
iniss/ng the Bill they would hest acquit themselves to their
Cluntry, and most truly consult the substantial honour of
C--e Crown.

that of those he had the honour (ducting with, that every at-

PRECAUTIONARY ARRAN( EX EN, I'S FOR THE BrSl-
- NESS OF YESTERDAY.
As early as daybreak yesterday morning the
note of preparation resounded throughout all the
streets and aVenties of Westminster 'immediately
surrounding the •House of Lords.
In addit;en to those precautionary measures,
which we stated yesterday, as the hour for the meet,
ina of the House began to approach, a large body
of'constableS:waS 'placed at 'each of the avenues,
and along the whole line • of approach hi every
direction. The- superintendance of this civil
fOrce was in the able hands of Mr. Lee, the High
Constable of Westminster, who was on the spot,
mounted on horseback, by eight o'clock.. The
High Bailiff, Mr. Morris,.was also in attendance.
The horse patrole mustered in Privy Gardens, !
and, along with a number of the patrole on foot, all
armed, were appointed to promenade in White-
hall. A large body of the second regiment of.
Horse Guards were stationed in Old Palace-
yard •;-- and a troop of the City Light Horse oc-
cupied Pedlar's -Acre, on the , other side of the
River ; the second battalion of the second regi-
ment of Foot Guards, with a full band, playing a
loyal tune, left the King's'Mews at a quarter be-
fore nine o'clock, marched to the Horse Guards,
and formed on the Parade. in the Park, where
another battalion of the regiment were already
assembled. The latter were afterwards stationed
in front of the House of Lords.
Every precaution, in short, that could.be de-
viced,•was taken to secure-- to the Peers the free
access 'to and from the House, and to prevent
any interruption to the public peace from the
number of people expected to be attracted.
As early as nine o'clock the Peers began to
arrive ; some in carriages, others on -horseback,
and'not a few on foot. Their Royal Highnesses
the Dukes of York and Sussex arrived within.. a
few minutes of each other ; the former was • ac.,
companied by the gallant Marquis of Anglesea,
and both Were on horseback. His Royal High-

tress. the Duke of "York was • loddly cheered by.
the crowd, which he acknowledged by fre-
quently bowing. The Duke of Wellington was
hot becomingly received: The Duke of Wel-
lington—will England credit it ?—will the world
believe it hissed I The gallant General,
Britain's.hero,,and Baonaparte's conqueror, was
On horseback, with a footman behind him. He
seemed perfectly amazed—he looked around him
with astonishment—and he made an almost cont..
plete halt, and' gazed full at the crowd... Even
they -stood abashed, and seemed ashamed. The
disgraceful hissing subsided, and the Illustrious
Duke passed on.

THE QUEEN'S PROCESSION TO THE HOUSE.
Her MAJESTY having slept on Wednesday
night at Brandenburgh House, rode into town
yesterday morning, accompanied by Lady Anne
Hamilton, in her travelling carriage and four.
On the dickey was Mr. Hieronymus, her Ma-
jesty's Maitre d'Hotel, and behind the carriage
were two servants in the Royal livery. On the
Carriage being driven to the door of her Majesty's
residence, in St. James's-square, Mr. Alderman
Wood, who had been in waiting there since eight
o'clock, came to the.door to receive her Majesty,
and conducted her from-her carriage to the draw-
ing-room. After a short pause the Queen pre-
sented herself at the window, and her appear-
auce called forth from the surrounding multitude
the most unbOunded marks of applause. A. short'
interval only had elapsed before the multitude
again expressed their wish to.see her, and they
repeated the call of " The Queen! The Queen!"
il.er Majesty again presented herself at the Win-
dow, and was again universally. greeted. Her
Majesty' was afterwards observed to walk up and
down the drawing-roOM with rather a •hurried
and irregular step. At a quarter before- ten
O'clock another of her Majesty's carriages drove
up' to the door, with Sir William Gull , and the
lion. Keppel Craven,
~her Majesty's Chamber-
lains. The Hon. Keppel CraVen alighted from
the carriage, and joined .her Majesty, Lady Ha-
milton, and Mr. Alderman Wood,, who were then
in the drawing-romn, •Sir William Gell continued
in the carriage.
The attention of the crowd was now.directed
towards York-street, down which the new
splendid State Carriage was seen advancing,
drawn by six beautiful bay horses, superbly ca-
parisoned. The coachman and postillions were
richly dressed in scarlet and gold. A few mi-
nutes after the carriage had drawn up to the
door of her Majesty's residence, Alderman
Wood, in full dress, came out, and expressed
his wish to have an avenue cleared for him
to the travelling carriage which had brought
her Majesty to town, and which was stationed at
some distance from the House. Parry and his
party, of Bow-street, who had been placed at her
Majesty's dc,or, soon opened a passage for the
Alderman ; and, as soon as the crowd recognised
him, he was greeted by them. Her'Majesty de-
scended the stairs, leaninl, upon the arm of the
Hon. Keppel Craven; Lady' Ann Hamilton fol-
lowed. Her Majesty was dressed in a plain black
silk gown, richly laced, and a foreign cap, over
which was a very long white veil, which was
turned aside over her Majesty's shoulder. Lady
Ann Hamilton was also dressed in black, with a
black Spanish hat.
Footineis, in state liveries, gold-headed canes,
and state caps, stood on both sides of the door
of the carriage, while the Hon. K. Craven hand-
ed her Majesty and Lady Hamilton in.
Mr. Craven now resumed his place, beside Sir
Wni. Gell, in her Majesty's other carriage,„ and
the Royal cavalcade, consisting of the three Car-
riages, now commenced its march. 'The carriage
with Alderman Wood took the lead, and was fol-
lowed by that of her Majesty, the carriage of the
Chamberlains bringing up the rear. Balconies,
windows, Sc.r. were crowded by persons who
waved their handkerchiefs, and some of them dis-
played white ribbands. The cavalcade moved
slowly on amidst the unceasing shouting of the
multitude, until it arrived at Carlton Palace,
where the applause was redoubled. •
The sentinels, agreeably to the orders receiv-
ed by them, presented arms. The Soldiers at
the Horse Guards, like those at Carlton Palace,
presented arms by order of their Officers, as her
Majesty passed. The avenues to• St. James's
Park were'closed ; and at- the Horse Guards, on
the procession passing by, orders were issued not
only for the closing of the outer gates, but also
those leading to the Park. The arrir4l of her Ma-
jesty in Palace-yard was announced by stionts of
". The Queen !"---" The Queen !"---" The (been
is coming !" At half past ten-c Mock the proces-
sion passed through the barrier into Old Palace-
yard. Up to this time the barriers had been so
well defended, that scarcely any one had paSsed
without permission ; but now several person's of
both sexes entered 'with the carriages, and two
'women 'clung' so close to. the forehorse of Mr.
Alderman Wood's carriage, that they could not
be disengaged from it, and screamed most lustily
when it was attempted. The guards stationed
in front of the' House of Lords presented arms to
her Majesty (also by order),. and 'she entered the
House.—The applause was very great.
At four o'clock it• was announced that the
House of Lords had adjourned, and that the
Queen was about to come to her carriage. The
carriage immediately drew up. The soldiers were
also placed ruder arms, and the Horse Guards
formed a semicircle round the several carriages,
and thus kept off the crowd. Ten minutes, how-
ever, elapsed, before the Queen made her appear-
ance. The .Queen then. appeared. Her veil was
down. The soldiers presented arms. Her Majesty
'was attended to her carriage by Sir T. Tyrwhitt,
on her right, and Mr. Denman on her left
hand.- The Usher of the Black Rod banded
her Majesty into her carriage. Mr, Brougham,
who had just finished addressing a long speech to
the House, was too exhausted to be enabled to
attend her Majesty. Lady Ann Hamilton
having-got into the carriage, her Majesty fol-
lowed.; and the party immediately drove off,
amidst the accustomed plaudits.. Her Majesty's
Ciamberlains entered the carriage and pair, with

HOUSE OF LORDS THIS DAY.

The Proceedings were of course resumed at an
early hour this morning in the House of Lords.
The Crowd that attended Tut QvErN in her pro-
gress to the High Court was much less numerous
than yesterday. Alderman WOOD again attempted
Co force himself into the House of Lords by her
MAJESTY'S entrance, bat was prevented, and he
than walked away to the door of the House of
Commons, and to increase his mortification, was
unheeded by the bystanders. Mr. DENMAN be-
gan his Speech as soon as the House was formed..
lie will be followed by the Attorney and Solici-
tor-General, and Mr. BROITCHAM will then re-
ply. It may therefore be doubted whether the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL will open the case in
evidence this day.

Having given in our Paper of this day so co-1
pious an account of the Parliamentary Proceed-
ings of .yesterday, we have little 'Space for
animadversion on the subject, therefore shall only
observe, that the opinion of the Judges renders
nugatory all the objections which have been
raised against the mode of trial adopted in the
case of her 111AJESTY. Those venerable Sages
of the Law confirmed the opinion of the Loan
CHANCELLOR, that there was no existing Statute
which could reach to her impUted guilt. Conse-
quently the'adopted course by a Bill of. Pains
and Penalties was inevitable. It is difficult, if
not impossible, to conceive the motives which in-
fluence those who object to this course, which
is unavoidable, unless they rely upon her
MAJESTI'S innocence under -all the imputations,
Or think that, if guilty, she should receive the
homage only due to virtue. Never' did we
see such a .set of wretches- as attended her MA-
,/ iST 'S carriage and shouted in her favour. The
QUEEN herself seemed sensible of the disgrace,
and kept back in her carriage. But what must
be thought of those wretches who treated yes-
terday the Duke of WriLtNoroN, the triumphant
Champion.of Europe, and the Glory of the Bri-
tish. Empire, with most brutal hostility !—Can
the favour' of such miscreants excite any thing
but contempt, indignation, and disgust ! ! !

S%re received this morning the Paris Papers of
Tuesday last. None were to be published on
WedueSday, on account of the Festival of the
Assumption.—The following are Extracts :

" PAM,' AUG. 15.—Yesterday the King transacted busi-
ness with the Ministers of War and the Interior, and the.

SUN-OFFICE, FIVE O'CLOCK.

nOLTSt OF LORDS.—(Tnis DAY.)

After Mr. DENMAN had concluded his Speech/
the ATTORMEY.GENERAL, and the SoLicrroR-
GENERAL, were heard in answer to the arguments
of Messrs. BROUdHAM anti DENMAN. Ml.'
BROUGHAM was by leave of the House heard
in reply, which he concluded soon after
four o'clock. Some conversation then took place
respecting the opinion given yesterday by the
Judges, it being the wish of several Noble
Lords, that the Judges should give their reasons
for that opinion.

Lord KING rose to bring forward a motion,
founded upon the arguments of the QUEEN'S
Counsel, against the principle of the Bill, that it
was not essential to the public morality, or neces"
sail,- to the public safety that the Bill of Pains and
Penalties against TILE QUEEN should pass into a
Law.—The Earl GREY wished his Noble Friend
to postpone his Motion till to-morrow, in order that
they might have time to make up their minds 0
to the effect of the arguments urged` hy the
QUEEN'S Counsel. Lord KING. declared his
rev diness to acquiesce in this suggestion. The
Earl of LIVERPOOL thought the better mode
would be for the Noble Lord to state the terms
of his Motion, by moving it now, and then to
adjourn the 'Debate till to-morrow. This was
agreed to, and the House adjourned till tomor-
row morning. Business to commence at TO
o'Clock.
