THE QUEEN.

The Earl Gass- rose and said, that the question with
respect to the Message, and the whole Of the
eat rehttive to her ;tlajesty, were essentially altered

be recent occurrences. This great subject assumed a
new COlllllll`Xitill altogether. It had been, therefore,
his intention to put a question to a Noble Farl (Liver-
pool), who, he regretted, was not then its his place,
iu order to aseertant whether he purposed to submit
any resolution to the House, in consequence of what
had lately happened in another place; or whether he
wished the Cot 1111 l ittee to outwit to the discharge of
their painful duty, fur which it had been appointed.
In the latter case, it was iliS determination to call the
serious attrut' of the 1:4111!tr 10 the new character
which the question had assumed. He had aireadh•
declared to the House, that lie felt nto►i strongly those
objections to that course of proeredings which had
twen IMP ably urged by !tome of his Noble Friends ;
hut Lis objections hail beets strengthened by pereeii lug,
by the rotes on the table, that in the other House a
resolution bad been carried by a hirer majority, sup-
ported by Ministers; and which resolution slistinetly
stated, that the prosecution of the inquiry, recom-
mended by Ministers themselves, would be derogatory,
t• the honour of the Crown, and iujurions to the best
interests tof the nation. After that rrsolittion had been
agreed to by Ministers in the other House, it teas nut
likely that they could proceed with an inquiry here,
whirls, whatever the rest:lt wig-ht he, etas, upon their
own showing, -at variance with those great interests
of •which they were, by their situation, the constitu-
tional guardians. It was pretty cc Went that some
other course of proceeding must be now adopted, and
if the Noble Earl did nut submit a motion to which he
could assent, he (Earl firer-) intended to hring forward
some proposition on this distressing and important
subject. He would therefore move, that their Lord-
ships hr summoned for Monday.
The Luau (.11.tNeKLLOR nitgerVEll, that their Lord-
ships were saiunionetl fur Jluuday, and then the House
adjourned.
