On TIE following day, Lord 9,
made distinct motion that tho o VIZ
mi'tee itself should be imaedisteIvV + a.
solved. His hardship supported Ia
proposition with great cl,uucnra a.
powerful argument. but their eITact !" a.
weakened by an unreasonable ip,ras ""
ton OF general politics. with which u.
question ought to be kept. if possins
anconnec'ed. He showed the obri ,
impropriety of permitting ce,t%E
hunter of peers by cursory glance ''a
ex parte evidence, to preiudge On.
ton which might soon be brought h'
fore the house in its judicial caparit,
and he insisted strongly on the oifrnsn.
aspect of a secret inquiry, as absorr,n,
to the spirit of the British justice, and
repu'sory to the genera! current of mI /
lie opinion.
Lord Liverpool, dislainrd all ref,
renee to popular feeling Of prejudice h
question Of this nature, and maintain
ed that Lord G,ey's principal argumen
was inapplicable. inasmuch as the A
fair was not likely to cone before t IT,
upper house in its Judicial, but in its L.
gisIative capacity.
The motion of earl Grey was lost BY \
majority of eig five; of course tbs
secret committee Of the lords will CON.
mence its operations Immediately.
We are to infer from Lord LiverpoOr,
remark, that in case the enquiry should
terminate unlavorably for the Queen,
she will be proceeded against by what
j. called bill of pains and penalties,
that is. she will be punctnaI by a sp.
cial act Of Parliament, in such wsv
as the two houses may deem commen.
surate with her offences. This mar
consist Of Punishment, divorce, or de
graduation. but it is not likely to affect
her personal security or general liberty
On the whole, we think that the COun.
try will be disappointed that the necs
sity Of a secret committee had not bee
dispensed with, in the Lords as well a
in the Commons, and the refusal Of tn
upper house to grant her majesty tim
for the arrival Of excu'patory cvidem
though ii will notinjure her assurance Q
Ultimate justice. but will tend material
" to increase the hazard Of first imprts
