graced by the part which they had acted iii this trensaction,
and upon reflection, he did not think the term too strong for
the occasion Ishii+ had drawn it forth. The state in which
the House was now placed. proved that the country had a
set of Ministers who had nor the wisdom or spirit to teak,
tip their minds upon the important siihieet 1111441 had bees
entrusted to their consideration, and rive that eihieetotheir
Sovereign which was consistent with the station in uhiih

this unhappy t'ese was laid before them, they should hare
considered whether there were grounds of acme:idiot) against
her Majesty the Queen or not, soil when their minds were
made up as to that point, they should havi acted firmly ainl
consistently in pursuing it. If there were at+ grounds for a
public accusation, or their being some. which it was not run-
sisterit w ith the public safety and interest to pursue. it world
have been the duty of Ministers to have stated the reeves
which induced them to hold that opinion ; or if there were
grounds of accusation, to show that her Nlajesh was guilty
of conduct which ought to deprive her id the.right of staad-
leg at the head of female society as the partner of the throne
—then Ministers ought, on their own responsibility, to have
brought the rase forward, nut by Secret Committee, but in
open day—and nutin an inquisitorial hut a judicial moaner,
that the result might bring shame and disgrace where shame
and disgrace were due—on her accusers, If the charge was
false. and on her Majesty. if it proved to fax true. Hut this
clear and obvious duty Ministers had shrunk trout. They
hail shifted responsibility from themselves, bathe first place.

grace, as he believed never before felt to !helot of any tie-

.Coble Earl. fie felt it also impossible, iu that'
e of the proceedings, and on that day, to enter tuts

_lnch they did to the Rouse. Ent, until the

,hint aiticciely hope that the Committee won't, never sit.
Lola Ecceseilericeis could rot agree with the Noble
Lind who bail jas,t preceded bins, that the lion•e was
placed in eircninstances of disgrace. The came causes
which operated upon_ one Howe of Parliament to pro-
Itissee a delay, operated also upon the other. Ile had
