Sir IL FERGUSSON presented a Petition fom
the Linen Manufacturers of Dunfermline, in Scot-
land, praying that the linen trade of that country
might be placed on the same footing as that of Ire-
land. In piesenting the Petition, he observed, that
his opinion on the subject of bounties coincided with
those of the Honourable Gentleman behind him (Mr.
Ricardo) ; and he hoped that, in the course of ten
years, all bounties whatever en linens would cease.
Mr. HUME observed, that in the manufacture of

linen in Ireland, there was a drawback allowed on
ashes, but no such thing existed in Scotland. If,
therefore, the Chancellor of the Exchequer intended
to 'put both countries on the same footing with re-
spect to bounties, he ought to do so with respect to
the ashes employed in that manufacture;
The Petition was read, and laid on the table.

THE NEW LOAN.

This motning, the Gentlemen intending-to bid for
the New Loan, waited upon the Earl of LIVERPOOL
and the CHANCELLOR of t'.-! EXCHEQUER, when the
following Lists were given in:

The former Gentlemen were declared to have taken
it. As soot: as the terms were known in the City,
much speculation as to the price took place; and on
the first announcement it was done at par, then at a
quay ter premium, again at par, and then at % discount.
It rose to par ; but so unfavourable an impression
«•as entertained of the terms, that bets were offered
it would be at two discount before the third instal.-
merit was made.

Consols for Account were done at 707/3 pre-
.vious to its being known who bad taken the Loan,
but as soon as it was announced, thcy fell to 701,
but shortly rose to 701/,. A considerable quantity
of business has been done during the morning. Es-
che:ltter Bills were done at Is. prem. to par.

Respecting the Negociation between their MAJES•
TIES, inferred from the adjournment proposed by
M; WILBERFORCE, and acceded to by the House of
C. tirmoir:, the night before last, nothing has trans-
pired. We can form no opinion on the probability
of such a negociation leading to an arrangement satis-
factory to the High Parties, to Parliament, and to
the Country; bat the latter, we are convinced, will
not be satisfied with any compromise which would
leave the innocence of the QUEEN unvindicated, if
she has been guilty of no crime; and it is this feeling,
so far as we an collect the sense of the Public, that
indisposes them to accede to that kind of logic which
would convert Committees of Parliament into Grand
Juries—then, possibly, one House into Public Ac-
c:isers, and the other into Judges; there being no
analogy whatever between such a mode of procedure
and the proceedings by the Grand Jury and Petit
Jury recognized in our judicial proceedings.

In ordinary criminal cases Bill of Indictment is
preferred to a Grand Jury, which, having read the
documents offered, calls witnesses, and hears parole
eti idence in support of the charge ; but such witnesses
are cross-examined to sift cut motives and elicit truth.
If a true Bill is found against the accused, it then
goes to trial before a Petit Jury, where the witnesses
may be confronted, their testimony met by counter
testimony, and themselves be handed over to prose-
cution in case of perjury. Here the Judge is hu-
manely considered by law as of Counsel for the pri-
soner, and bound to protect him against improper
evidence : he sums up the evidence, and the Jury,
guarding themselves t.gainst the prejudices of previ-
ous runiour and scandal, decide (and they are sworn
to do so) only according to the evidence.
Has the proceeding of a Secret Committee any
thing analogous to this in its constitution and func-
tions ? No. The Committee has its objects defined
in its appointment: and, in the case which now agi-
tates the public mind, that object is—not to examine
or cross-examine witnesses, but simply to examine,
and report on, the contents of a Green Bag !—a bag,
which, for anything they can possibly know to the
contrary, may be stuffed with lies.
There is no necessity that we should suppose that
those who had the filling of the bag should have
put into it any statement which they themselves did
rot believe to be true ; but however true they may
believe them to be—the witnesses not having been
duly purged and cross-questioned—they may, never-
theless, be false, unfounded, aid malignant state-
ments. This, we say, is possible, and being possible,
would be execrated if practised against the meanest
of the KING'S subjects: and still more would they
execrate it should a Bill, so concocted, be sent as a
lrwe one before a Petit Jury for trial. Is it right ?
is it fitting ?—is it decorous ?—is it just ?—that a
QuEEN—the QUEEN of ENGLANn! should have any
thing reported respecting her conduct, and so deeply
affecting her character, founded on such ex-parte
sz at-etnents?

Nor have we stated all the difference between the
node proposed and regular proceedings in a Court
of Justice. In the latter, no person acting on the
Grand Jury can form one of the Petit Jury which
afterwards tries the cause—a wise provisipn founded
on the possibility that having found a true bill against
the accused, the individual might think his judgment
self-impeached, by afterwards joining in a verdict of
acquittal, however clear the evidence of innocence.
But, in the measures pursued respecting her MA-
should the ex-.eart; statements induce the

. 0

presenting a Report, which may lead to a prosecu-
tion, some of the Peers—nor can they possibly help
themselves—must afterwards sit as Judges !
We shall not pursue this argument Luther at pre-
sent ; and we are the more desirous to let it now rest,
from the undefined kind of feeling indulged-by many,
that there will be no Luther public proceedings in
the way of investigation ; but that some arrangement
will be the result of the delays that have taken place
in the proceedings of both Houses.
On the supposition that this is possible, we ask,
Can the Public be, by any possibility, satisfied with
any settlement which shall leave the guilt or the in-
nocence of the QUEEN unavouched ? We say, No !
Some people may give to the steps that have 'already
been taken any name they please, but they will be
held by the Public, generally, as amounting to an
imputation of guilt ; and if this charge be not dis-
tinctly disavowed, and her Mnaesrv's innocence'
acknowledged, she will be held guilty by the bulk
of mankind.

No middle course can possibly screen her MAJESTY
from the calumnies of her enemies : and, if innocent,
why are her character and feelings to be held as of
minor and secondary importance when compared with
those of any individual on the face of the earth ?
Niece to FREDERICK of PRUSSIA, and to GEORGE 111.
she is the equal of GEORGE IV. in every respect.—
Has her MAJESTY, yet innocent—for innocent she
must be held till proved otherwise by due legal pro-
cess—has her MAJESTY, we say, been treated by Mi-
nisters with the respect due to the QUEEN of ENG..
LA xn?—Refused, or, at all events, not provided with
those means of conveyance to England which are
furnished to every member of the Royal Family!
refused, or at aIL events not furnished with, a suit-
able residence; but left to take up her abode in the
house of a private citizen ! Prima facie, such treat-
ment savours not of impartiality on the part of
Ministers. But we forbear at present. The Nation
is not blind.

The rumour of this morning is, that a proposal
has been made by Ministers, on the part of his MA-
JESTY or the Government, that the QUEEN may reside
in England—not nearer the Court than 100 miles.—
We should hold such a rumour impossible to be true
had it not before been proposed that her MAJESTY
should not reside at all in England. A very short
time will divulge whether there is any truth in the
reported proposal.

Wednesday, his MAJESTY held his third Levee,
which was numerously and splendidly attended by
characters of the highest rank, wealth, and talents
the country can boast, as well as the Foreign Am-
bassadors, Ministers representing the Sovereigns of
Europe, and other Foreigners of distinction. The
usual Guard of Honour of the Foot Guards attended,
and a detachment of the Life Guards took their sta-
tion in Pall-mall, to regulate the carriages, icc.—
Among the numerous presentations were—
The Marquis of Huntley, on receiving the Order of the Bath ;
Major-General Alrey, Quarter-Master-General to the Forces in.
Ireland, on his arrival fronareland; Major P. Hawker, &cite.
Yesterday, at three o'clock, his MAJESTY held a
Court at his Palace in Pall-mall, which was attended
by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of YORK and
CLARENCE, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward,
the Master of the Horse, the Treasurer of the House-
hold, the Duke of WELLINGTON (Gold Stick in wait-
ing), Viscount LAKE as Lhe Lord in waiting, General
FINCH as the Groom in waiting, and other attendants.
—His MAJESTY afterwards held an investiture of the
Order of the Bath, %%hen Vice-Admiral Sir THOMAS
Fotry (nominated on the 16th of May, in the room
of Admiral Sir WILLIAM CORNWALLIS, deceased),
and Admiral Sir GEORGE CAMPBELL (recently nomi-
nated in the room of Rear-Admiral Sir THOMAS FRE-
MANTLE, deceased), were severally introduced, and
invested with the ensigns of Knights Grand Crosses
of the Order. Lieutenant-Colonel Sir ALEXANDER.
LEITH, K.C.B. was introduced to his MAJESTY by
Sir GEORGE NAYLER, and was invested with the ho-
nour of Knight Commander.
Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, a Cabinet Council
was held at the Foreign Office, which sat till about
half-past two.
Her MAJESTY invited the family of Alderman
WOOD to dinner on Wednesday.
The Princess Soritia removed from Cambridge
House, in Seuth.Audley-street, on Tuesday morning
last, to the house of his Royal Highness the Duke of
YORK, in the Stable-yard, St. James's Palace. Her
Royal Highness had been very much indisposed for
three weeks previous to that day, with the nervous
complaint under which she has so long laboured ;
and it was apprehended that the bustle attendant on
the arrival of her MAJESTY would be injurious to her
in her present state of health.
We regret to state, that the West end of the town
was last night again the scene of much outrage and
disturbance. A mob of about three hundred persons,
who seemed to act with the most perfect concert,
commenced the work of destruction by breaking the
windows of the house in Audley-square, possessed by
the Misses Ft TZCLA HENCE. They afterwards proceeded
in succession to the houses of Earl DARNLEY, Earl
fowls, Lord SIDMOUTII, the Marquis of ANGLESEA,
the Marquis of HERTFORD, &c. all of which were
more or less damaged. The windows of all the lower
part of the Marquis of ANGI.EsEA's house are com-
pletely broken. The fury of the gang was particu-
larly great at the Marquis of Hearroan's, nor were
they driven away till the arrival of some Horse
Guards from Baker-street.
An augmentation of troops has taken place at the
King's Mews, where the whole of the Ist battalion of
the 3d Regiment of Guards are now stationed.'
The Observer, of Sunday, will contain particulars
of the Qussa's Journey to London, his MatiesTy`e
Message to the Houses of Parliament, and her MA-
JESTIC s Message in consectuence, with a full Report
of the proceedings.

FRENCB PAPERS.

The Paris Papers of Tuesday arrived this atenoon.
The public trial of Louvel for the assassination of
the Dake of BERRY, commenced in the Court of
Peers on Monday.

nothing, it is said, could exceed the terrible sang.
fivid which distinguished the aspect-of the criminal.
He underwent, agreeably to the French practice, a
long personal examination, and made all his answers
in the most calm and unembarrassed manner. We
shall select from the examination a few of its most
striking passages :
Cover—What motive had you for poignarding the Duke of
Berry?
Laspel—l took his life with the intention of desteoying the
race of the Bourbons, who, in my opinion, are the cause of
the country's misfernanes.
Cotner—Had you any motive of personal enmity?
Lauri—None.

Covae—Why, among all the Members of the Royal Family,
did you give the preference to the Prince, the least allied to the
Throne
Lottvel—Because he was the stock (is southe).
Conan—Had you, when in the Isle of Elba, any cc.nmuni-
cation with Napoleon, or with the persons of his household ?
/menet—Never.
Caesar—Did you confide your criminal projects to any one?
Leant—Never.
Comer—Wu it not to perfidious counsels, to pernicious doc-
trines, to poisoned writings,—
Loevd--(Qnickly interrupting the Court)—Never.
Com: (in continuation)—That you owed the conception of
your culpable deigns?
Leasect—l never spoke of them to anybody.
Cover—What would you have done bad you escaped?
Leetret-1 would have done the same thing to all Frenchmen
who nave taken arms against their country !
Cooss—You would then have persisted in your projects of

Levied—Yes, against Frenchmen who have betrayed their

country.
M. de LALLY Toraintnat.—What has the accused been in the
habit of reading?
Lonoel—The Rights of Man and the Constitution.
M. de LALLY Tousarnac--What journals recently ?,
hissed—None.

Count Dzszsg—(l-ostrel having said that it was fortunate for
France that he was seized, since thousands would have been
persecuted on supicioa)—Would you then have delivered your-
self up to justice and said—P4 lam the man you seek ?"
Lourei—l would hate dome better !—(weeding that he would
have committed a second assassination.)
M. de LALLY Towanssa.---fdr. President, I beg you to con•
jure Louvel to declare, before Gov, whether he had any ac-
complices ?
Passunarr—l conjure you to declare before Gon, and on your
soul and conscience, whether you communicated to any one your
horrible project?
Lamed—lt is, indeed, horrible; but I have had no accomplices.
The same appeal was afterwards twice reiterated,
and answered by the same positive and unqualified
disavowal.

Viscount hlommouircr—The accused has himself designated
his crime as horrible ; he feels then all its enormity ?
Loussi—lt is a horrible action—to kill another man cannot
paw for virtue ; it is a crime. I would never have been dragged
into it, but for what I conceived to be the interest of the nation.
I believe in my own mind that I have done well.
The Court adjourned till the next day, when the
Procurator-General, and the Advocates for Louvel,
will be heard.
The Duke of ANGOWLEME has returned to Paris.
