peal OF the Noble Lord TO the House, that

party political feelings from their breast,
and entertain meme but such as would

now become inevitable. He had also 10

Jesty that there was now an end of all

to have public enquiry. The Noble
Lords subtleties had mevtr been so appa
rent as 10 night The Noble Loru said,

with The wishe fer public inquiry il vas
since Saturday last, ihe diilicu If the
Noble Lord had disappeared but DOW
the Noble Lord said, the answer OF the
Queen, calling for trial, had made ihe
thing easy. What, did not the Queen |
make the same appeal above fortnight

stronger appeal, but that, il appeared, the |
Noble Lord had iorgoiten. But The COM |
municaiion 81 her Majesty on Saturday,
or some other circumstance, had convinc.
Ell him the difficulty of subject, ac-
cusing his Queen had vanished. The |
Queen had now demanded a trial, and the |
Noble Lords galianiry and polIteness |
would not sutfer him to refuse her request.
Now, with respect 10 the Resolution of |
the House, the Noble Lord had said. |
that the Queen was line first Brunswick |
who had turned her back on a Resolution |
OF 600 of that House. The Noble Lord |
might have said Tie resolution of near
500: for he knew many of those who vo.
ted against that Resolution were decided
ly against enquiry. Tie vote of the Noble
Lord for that Resolution was most
extraordinary one, since by II he went |
aside for moment 10 declare that the |
lie had himself made TO the
House for enquiry, and The opening Of
the bag he had laid Oh the table, must be
deroga,ory 10 The dignity Of The Crown.
