sod •
a subterfuge to say that the Queen was prayed
jp;i„ she Prayer for the Royal Family. The Queen
cort must be prayed for by name ; and if the Act
;of did not distinctly point that out, usage cer-
itilly did. The non-conspliance of the present Ad-1
risurration with this usage, was inflicting a punish-
for which, which, to the People at large, appeared very
voch like vindictive feeling on_ their part—(Hear,
).--The People were convinced that this act
lithe suggestion of disappointed men. It pro-
ceded from a contempt for the feelings and the in-
oleo of the country, for its morals and its religion,
Ad for all judicial authority—(Hear, hear, hear).—.'
,ggy bad now only to consider what compensation
they could make for sufftrings which they were
losail to consider were unjostly inflicted. If the Mi-
i;isoss persisted in refusing to restore the Queen'sl
-woo the Vturgy, it would be a pertinacity in
certorwbkh could only insure to themselves dishonour
yid defeat, as well as degradation to the dignity of
the crown. Let them appoach the Throne with their
humble entreaties. The Ring had no doubt been
trosly:deceived ; and had the omission never been
;lade, her name certainly would not be erased at the
poet moment. And if it would not, he asked by
„kg course of reasoning, by what rhetoric, or what
chain of casuistry could his Majesty's Ministers re-
concile the continuance of the omission? They had
cningied political considerations and malignant pas-
sions with religious feelings—(Hear, hear).--He
thought it ought to be no trifling consideration to
risk ern a temporary secession from the National
ouch; and it was something to risk the con inu•
ance of the present discontents. The whole country
were looking to the vote of that night as to their
only hope of retaining their grasp on the laws .and
the Constitution. In voting for the motion of his
Hon. Friend, he conceived he was discharging a sa-
cred duty which he owed to the Public, to the Crown,
and to that House. _ _

fifr.ll. LEGGE said, the grounds of his opposition
to the present motion were the Queen's Letter to the
King, and her Answers to Addresses—(Hear). He
coed not whether she excited the people of the coun-
try ender the denomination of her subjects" or not ;
ices on the broad general tenour of her Answers
slut be grounded his objection. It had been said al-
lowances o,ight to be made for the Queen's feelings;
h: was willing to admit that; but he could not grant
erg this allowance could be extended to a series of
publications tending to inspire hostility to every in-
ilitslion which was dear to the natives of this country
vicar, leer). He could not agree that this allow-
ace should be extended to a Letter which reviled the
sovereign, and strove to set the People in array
againgTgliament—(Hear, hear). He could assure
the Honourable Member who brought forward this
notion, that if the Queen's name had been originally
hunted in the Liturgy, those publications would be
nfficient, in his opinion, to warrant its erasure—
(llar,keer). Under these circumstances, he asserted
lint the restoration of her Majesty's name would be
repugnant to the wishes of the great majority of the
Won; and carrying up an Address to the Crown,
landed on this Resolution, would be an unauthoriz-
ale interference with the Royal prerogative, deroga-
tory to the digni:y of the Crown, and injurious to the
test interests of the country—(lkar, heasc).
Mr. C. W. WYNNE agreed in some things with
the view of the question that had been so ably taken
by the Member for Oxford, in a former debate. He
lamented that no notification had been made to the
Qom of the death of the late King, nor even of her
we daughter—(Cheers). By the act of the Crown,
Electress of Hanover had been inserted in the
payers of the -Church, and the House of Commons
lad thanked the Queen (Anne) for the insertion. He
ras heartily glad that the opinion of the Judges had
:ot been taken on a question that was to come before
bat House. They were too much in the habit of
considering that House as a- part of the Executive.
Ile thought they (milt not to address the Crown, to
confer on her Majesty a mark of grace and favour,
ifterwhat had been proved against-her. They were
id, that her Majesty had been acquitted; but it
vas natural to have some doubt, if that which was a
eater of grace and favour, were conferred upon
her. The same was the case of the Duke of Cum-
*land, who, though nothing was proved against
'rim, yet was exempted from the grace and favour
en to the other branches of the Royal Family. He
bought that the omission took place legally ; and he
id not think it proper to repair it now, especially
er her endeavouring to bring into contempt every
tution of the country—(hear, hear).
Mr. WILBERFORCE rose, and was greeted by
the House with loud cheers. The Honourable Gen-
tleman said, that if anything was capable of confirm-
leg his original impression as to the inexpediency of
tbe investigatioe into her Majesty's conduct, it would
lt a review of all the proceedings that had taken
Place since his motion, founded on that conviction,
made. However, it was now only for every
t. tier to come forward, and declare his sentiments
•n the important topics that presented themselves
his consideration. He had not had an opportu-
the other night of expressing his opinions on the
ject before the House; nor did he so much regret
circumstance, since anything he bad to say
d not better express his sentiments than the
-• of his Honourable and Learned Friend below
• But whatever might be his opinion now upon
Particular topics, he could not but say, that looking
upon the conduct of Ministers throughout this ardu-
uts business, he saw nothing in that conduct which,
his opinion, called for the animadversion of the
(louse—but that, on the contrary, having been placed
It Circumstances of great difficulty, where they had
•thiog but a choice of evils, they had, in his mind,
sewed neither a want of integrity nor capacity to
and overcome the pressure of their embarrassing
situation. But he had now to consider, that a prac-
tical measure was proposed to him, and he was to
tain the consequences which would follow from
' is decisions upon the one side or the other; and he
Quid confess, that shad he to decide the legality of
e queaion, he should have found, that as much of
e Options uncertainty of the law belonged to
Perhaps to any other legal question that
'as ever proposed to the attention of Lawyers.—
