DEPUTATION TO THE QUEEN.

Mr. WILBERFORCL3, accompanied hy Mr—Stuart
Wortley, now entered the [louse. The former
was loudly called for ; but Mr. S. Wortley took
his place at the Bar, attended by Mr. 11. tokes and
Sir T. Acland (the Depittation appointed), and
announced that the Deputation nominated to wait
yon her 111,,je,ty had that day delivered to the
Q,tecti the Resolutions of that House, as au, ho-
rized by their voie; to which her Majesty was
pleased to give the following answer

" I ant bound to receive with gratitude any attempt on the
part of .the House of Cgintnous -to•iuterpose its high media-
tion for the purpose of healing those unhappy differences in
the Royal Family, which no , person has 'so much reason to
deplore as myself. And. with perfect troth I eau declare,
that an entire reconcilement of those differences, effected by
the authority of Parliament, on principles consistent with
the honour and dignity of all the parties, is still the object
dearest to my heart.

•' I cannot refrain from expressing my deep sense of the
affeelionate language of theta Resolutions; it .shows the
linuse of Commons to be the faithful Representative of that
generous People, to whom I owe a debt of gratitude that can
never be rapaid.

" I am sensible, too, that I expose myself to the risk of
displeasing tho'se who may soon be the judges of my conduct ;
but I trust to their candour, and their sense of honour; con-
fident that they will enter into the feelings which alone in-
fluence my determination.
" It would ill become me to question the poWer of Parlia-
ment, or the mode in which it may at any time he exercised
hut, however strongly I may feel the necessity of submitting
to its authority, the question whether I will male myself
partfto any measure proposed must be decided by my own.
_feelings and conscience, and by them Mane. 'AS a subject of
the State, I shall bow with deference—if possible, without a
murinur—to every act of the sovereign authority but, as an
accused and injured Queen, I owe it to the King, myself, and
-all my ft llow-subjects,not to consent to the sacrifice of any es-
sential piirilege, or withdraw my appeal to those principles
of public justice, which arc alike the safeguard of the highest
and the humblest individual."

currence 01 this painful subject. Before we begirt
the consideration of the inquiry, I beg to ask a
que-stion re,neciing'tite Milan mission. Was it a
imbue of p. ate ComftiisiiOn? Was it sAnctimied

Friend was perfectly proper ; and if no answer.
should he given to it, it would carry a conviction
to. his Least that there was something, in the
Main Commission so odious and objectionable,
that the Noble Lord would nut dare to own it.
He strongly objected to I.lr compromise ou the
part of his Hon. Fritmls. He thought- it highly
improper for the lone' to be rol,:d. in its conduct
in an affair of such importance by the decision of
two or three inilividuals.
