of Jrn;tive, and they were not. But be felt it
ply, that they were ton much in the habit of
marrying their Kings and Queens contrary to the
..,,reat laws of God and Nature. All :bey c,,01d do,
was to see ju.4tice done, ,ind as far as they could,
ithont any injostiee to public morals lie de-
plored tire situation in which the Queen was
dared in the early pin of her life; and ite wished
that this inquiry could he stopped, because she
herself would be .as great a sulTerer by it as any
one else.

Mr. SCARLPTT was not certain which way the
Hon. Member who spokelast meant to vote ; but
twin the dangers he apprehended from the open-
tug of this Green Bag, be (Mr. Searlett), thought
the Hon. Member could vote no other than -tor
the removal of that Green Bag from the table
for ever. He thought it unjust and ongenerows
to the weaker party to call on the Queen -to make
concessions, instead of the House tailing; on Mini-
, sters to make concessions to her. Her name should
have been restored to the Liturgy, whence it never
should have been withheld ; and it was a false
feeling, that refusing that restoration, they were
consulting the honour awl dignity of the Crown;
for it was only supporting the consistency of Mi-
nisters, with which the honour and dignity of the
Crown had nothing to do. Ministers, if they
bad a case against the Queen, should have cone
down on their own responsibility, and proposed a
specific measure on the subject, instead of throw-
ing the whole responsibility on 21 Gentlemen
This inquiry might produce a Revolution, and was
any Gentleman ready to lend himself to such a pas
sible circumstance, by sitting on such a Committee?
Was it prudent in times like these to inquire how
much guilt might be sufficient to dethrone a
Queen.? Such a step might lead farther than be
,vould attempt to mention. He declared that hr
would hate surrendered his life rather than
have advised the King to have sent down such a
charge against the Queen; but it seemed that we
had Ministers wholiad advised that measure, rat her
than surrender their places. From the vacilla-
tion of Ministers the country wes convinced; and
never would believe that Ministers had n case
against the Queen ; tor the whole matter. was he-
ween Ministers aid her, and not between the
King and the Queen. He thought they ought to lose
no time in declaring that they would never consent
to a Secret Committee. Hose could the Queeil's
coming to this couutry force this inquiry upon then)
She was not a bit more innocent or guilty in cooling
here; and if they bad a case against her, it most
,have been as complete a twelvemonth ago as now.
Hr hoped the Country Gentleman would vote for
the d: lay of six months, and =tot support a weak
and feeble Adtuinistra, ion ; but if they preferred
a revolution, the blame be upon them, tor all re-
volutioos had been preceded by weak and VaC-
cillatiog Counsels,
Mr. W. SMITH followed on the same side. He
bad voted wile the majority last week, but would
now-vote for the amendment, aod both on the
same ground, because he thought the good of the
country required that the inquiryshould not be
gone into. He lamented the way in which the
discussions on this question had been conducted,
as the inferences drawn from them must be pro-
ductive of great evil.
Mr MARRYAT was much cheered for something
with which he-set out, but the noise in the House
prevented his being heard in the Gallery. He
roe, eded to impute the failure of the House in
a great measure the manner in which the Ad-
dress to the Queen had "been worded. They be-
gun by star tug that there were concessions to
which het Majesty might justly object, arid then
they required of her .0 make all these concessions,
In the same paper they treated her as guilty and
as mnoceut, and it was not surprising tha. their
advice was thrown away. No doubt the intention of
the Hon. Member for Bratnber was good, but his
judgment in this instance dill not equal the merit
of hits design. It also stated that inquiry would be
derogatory to the Crown and hurtful, to the Public,
and this put Ministers into an awkward situation
now, when by the refusal they were compelled to
come to the House and ask it to be pursued. They
had in fact before 'them a choice of difficulties, and
if it was more derogatory to the Crown and more
injurious not to proceed than to go on, which
appeared to him to be the case, they were
only adopting the least evil when they determined
to prosecute the question to an end. Much had
been said of the fatal effects of this course, but
no explanation had been given as to their na-
ture. The Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Wilberforce,)
it was true, accompanied his declarations with
explanatory gestures, such as shutting his eyes,
and extending his hands ; and the Honourable
Member for Yorkshire,bad affirmed that it would
be enough to pollute the minds of their wives
and daughters ; but he was of opinion, t that
the opening of the Green Bag itseit, would not
be so productive of reports so vile as those already
every where in circulation, and which Rumour,
with her hundred tongues uttered against ail the
parties concerned in this transaction. On every
ground of expediency and justice, he thought the
eat best thorough examination of the whole matter
most advisable, and would vote for the Noble
Lord's motion, as fixing the shortest period.
They bad already treated his Majesty with suffi-
cient disregard.

Mr. BROUGHAM, in a brief explanation said, that
all the delay wanted on the part of the Queen was
a sufficient time to produce evidence to disprove
the accusations against her. The import el the
words in the negociation which settled the basis
on the ground that the outside shout(' retract and
the other side admit nothing, had he conceived
been mistaken. It had been assumed that
they meant that there should be no concession on
either side, but if that had been their meaning,
it would have been quite ridiculous for the
Commissioners to . meet five times afterwards
to endeavour to settle terms. All that they im-
plied was, that neither of the parties should con-
cede any thing inconsistent with their honour,
but that the Queen might concede, or the King,
or Ministers retract or concede any other points
on which they- might otherwise be disposed to in-
sist.—The House now divided—

The state of the question respecting the QUEEN
must now be brought to that issue which we have
all along pointed out as inevitable, viz. an open
investigation of the charges against her. Nothing
else can vindicate her character, or justify the
conduct of Ministers. On her arrival she de-
manded an open trial. D7inistei•s were ready to
v.ccede to her wishes, and resented to PAIN.•
