THE BRITISH QUEEN.
The affairs of the Queen continued to
occupy the attention of the government
and people. The coronation was put off.
1t was not to take place on the LIST of
August, but at some period not yet agreed
upon. A motion to this effect, made by
al opposition member, was seconded by
Lord Castlereagh, who, however, assur-
cd the Gouse that this procrastination
was in no degree occasioned by the pro-
ceedings in the case of the Queen.
In the House Of Lords, July 6, Lord
Dacre presented the following petition
from the Queen:
&" Caroline Regina.
The Queen has heard, with mex
pressib!e establishment, that bill, con-
veying charges, and intended to degrade
her and to dissolve her marriage with the
King, has been brought by the first mi
mister Of the King into the House of
lords, where her majesty has no coun-
sci OF other officer to assert her rights.
The only alleged foundation for the bill
is the report Of secret committee, pro-
cecding solely Oh papers submitted to
them, and before whom no single wit
ness .vas examined. The Queen has
be5si Further informed, that her counsel
last night were refused hearing at the
bar Of the House of Lords, at that stage
of the proceeding when it was most ma
terial that they should be heard, and that
list Of the witnesses, whose names are
known to her accusers, is TO be refused
to her. Under such circumstances, the
Queen doubts whether any other course
| is left to her but to proceeding; but she
is anxious to make one more effort to
obtain Justice, and therefore desires that
her counsel may be admitted to state her
claims at the bar Of the House Of Lords. 4"
Lord Dacre moved that the counsel be
called in.
The counsel having appeared, de-
| mandcd that an imm ediatc investigation
of the charges in the bill should take
place. An interesting discussion arose
on this demand, and it was finally agreed
that the subject should be taken up on
the following Monday.
