with pleasure to' 'triter conduct, in sa-
crificin £IS,OOO a-year hmerests of her coun-
try-4 May,, dear).—Not had tier mild-onuses ended
with her departure from this country. Had she not
as with every species of ill treatment? Had she
hot behi beset with persons hired to watch her mo-
tions?. Flad not the profession of the Law been de-
ruled b 7 one of its members sinking into a spy ?
Had not her own servants been bribed to betray her?
—Olean hear.)--Had not her locks been 'broken
open ?...ber actions watched, and, as if this was not
enough, bed not Princes, paupers on the Crown of
Great Britain, treated her with marked disrespect?—
(Hear,hear.)—The worthy Member concluded by
expressing his cordial concurrence in the motion.
The COMMON SIR/lA/IT then read the Motion as
proposed by Mr Favell.
Sir WILIBILUI CIIRTIS observed, that there had
been a wish strongly and generally expressed by men
all parties, that this most important question
should be treated with the greatest possible delicacy.
Nobody could doubt the tide of the Queen. She was
Queen of England, and must be Queen; but while
he deeply regretted the unhappy differences between
the Illustrious Individuals, he thought that the less
that was said, would be so much the betterl—(A
laugh.)—He, therefore, would say no more—than
merely move the previous question. •
Mr. JAIINS seconded the motion of the worthy
Baronet. - He should be extremely so:ry to be be-
trayed into the mention or consideration of any of the
deplored circumstances which gave rise to these-dis-
putes. They had no right to consider the charges,
for they knew not what the charges were, or, posi-
tively, that there were any charges at all. It was
decidedly the better course to abstain from the ques-
tion altogether, and thereby to give time for that re-
conciliation which every man hoped would be the
issue of the pending negotiations. With that view he
should second die Amendment of the worthy Baronet.
Mr. Juan considered this to be the most proper
time for the Address which had been proposed. Re-
thought it the more delicate way to abstain from all
subjects of congratulation, excepting that of her Ma-
ty's arrival. It had been, undeniably, the ancient
usage of this Corporation to be the first in -loyalty
and duty, in congratulating Members of the Royal
Family on such occasions as the present ; but, in this
case, one 'corporate body, that of Canterbury, had
already anticipated them. It would be seen from the
nature; of the motion carried in the House of Lords,
that the papers in which the supposed charges were
contained, were contained in a Green Bag I There
wee no opportunity, therefore, of cross-examining the
parties who had furnished these documents, as a
mete narrative was all that was to be read. He
trusted that the Corporation would' boldly come fof-
ward as loyal subjects, and address their Queen, to
neglect whom would be a high mark of disrespect.
Mr. A. BnowNz sincerely trusted that the Court
would come to such a determination, by sympathizing
with an afflicted woman, as would do honour to their
feelings, as the Representatives of a great, a humane, ,
a moral, andia Christian People. He was not pre-
pared to go the whole length of the Address pro-
posed, inasmuch as he thought that the arrival of
her Majesty, under such grave and heavy charges as
' those which were impending, was not a matter of
congratulation. This was a question quite distinct
from all party feeling or prejudices, and one which
ought, on that account, to be treated with great can-
lion and deliberation. No man who knew him could
suspect him of being too apt to blame his Majesty's
Ministers, but or. this occasion he certainly thought
they had completely mistaken the interests of the
country, in the line of conduct they had followed—
(Hear, err!)—for let them consider who this Il-
lustrious Personage was—she was the daughter of the
gallant Duke of Brunswick, the niece of the late
ILing, and wife• of the reigning Monarch. Unfor-
tunately she had lost her daughter, and was child-
less.; but was she without friends? No. She has a
friend in almost every British bosom I It was but too
'true that she had been the victim of unmerited perse-
cutioa, but her innocence had been completely made
ow, and she had the patronage of the good and
pious George the Third, one who knew well how to
lithlithoe the purity of the female character. She bad
bum latterly excluded from the Court, and was even
an exile, but she had now come home to defend her
innocence. Ministers had certainly nsisadvised his Ma-
-jolty, and they would have done well for public mo-
rals had they drawn a veil over •such conduct, and
remembered the words of Holy Writ, 44 He that is_
without sin, let him cast the first stone at her r
(Year, hear!).—Much more would it have been, for
tlinirisonoor had they received her with,due respect,-
heatail ef allowing her to come over in a common
yacht, sad to be obliged to live in a private citizen's
house. The worthy Gentleman concluded by stating,
that if the previous question had not been moved; he
should have proposed, as an Amendment to the ori-
ginal motion, an Addreis condoling with her Ma-
jesty upon the heavy losses and afflictions she had eat.
dined ; congratulating her upon her late escapefront
the persecutions of her enemies, and hoping for. a
miler result, should an inquiry be again instituted.
Mr. Jaces, said, that he conceived any interference
on their parts, in the manner now proposed, -would
be decidedly taking the part of the Queen against the
King—(No, Ito, no). The Court would recollect,
that over-baste had more than once placid them in
the most awkward dilemma. This was his opinion

•on the subject.
Mr. Alderman WAITHILIit said, that after .the
very able and judicious manner in which this Address.
had been moved and seconded, he should not have
spoken one v, ord in support of it, did he not conceive
that his Opinion would be expected upbn subject ,
which had formerly engaged: so inugh. of h)s, attest-

Gentleman (Mr. Browne) 'hid alludedr he thought,
