NEW fCHk, JULY
BY the fast sailing ship Martha, Capt.
Sketchley, which arrived last night, In
33 days from Liverpool, the editors Of
the Commercial Advertiser have receiv-
ed Liverpool papers to the 18th of June,
and London papers and Lloyd's and
commercial Shipping Lists to the 18th,
inclusive. Our previous adyices, with
the exception of a few paragraphs, re-
ceived via Halifax, were only to the goth
of May. We have examined our files
with close attention, and have taken
much pains to compress into one paper
all the matter of special interest.
ENGLAND
Has been thrown into sudden fermene
and agitation by the sudden ARRIVAL.
OF THE QUEEN. Soon after her
Majesty reached London, she commune
Gated an important message to the House
of Commons, drawn up in bold and con.
fident terms, and protesting against the
project in contemplation, of appointing
secret committee to investigate her
conduct since she has been abroad. She
says she wants the fullest enquiry into
her conduct, and claims an open inves-
tigation--a privilege not denied to the
meanest individual in the state.
BY the Message of the King it appears
that he is determined that an investiga-
ton shall take place.
Mr.. Brougham presented the Message
from the Queen to the House Of Com
mons; and the papers are filled with
the interesting discussion which follow
ed. no decisive measures bad been a.
dopted, and the subject had been post
poned fora few days, to give the Minis
try time for delberation. Some Of the
papers speak of hopes being entertained
that the differences between the Royal
parties will be amicably adjusted.
In reply to a note from Lord Liver
pool, in which his Lordship stated that.
Notwithstanding all that had passed, any
suggestions which her Majesty may have
to offer upon the propositions submitted
in April last, would be received, her
Majesty said
g That she demanded all the rights
belonging to the Queen of England;
that, before she was in possession of all
her dignities, she could not listen to any
other proposal; that when she was re-
stored to them, she would be ready To
listen to any proposals Of his Majesty's
ministers"
The majority in the House Of Lords,
in favor of Lord Liverpool's motion for
the appointment of a secret committee
to investigate the conduct Of the Queen,
was 70.
The Question for a postponement of
proceedings in the House Of Commons,
was carried unanimously.
fer Majesty has been received with
great attention by the people, and from
the spirit they have manifested, we should
infer that, whether Her Majesty is gull
ty or not, an attempt of the government
to proceed to eXtremities with her would
well nigh produce revolution.
Ever since the Queens arrival in Lon
don, that metropolis has been the theatre
of perpetual riot. All who would not
huzza, and pull off their hats, in honor
to her Majesty, were pelted with mud,
brickbats, sc. &c. and often, after hav-
ing complied with the requisiton, they
were pelted with mud for the diversion
Of the mob. Carlton House was assaiI-
ed, and the windows of Lord Sidmouth's
, and Lord Castlereagh's houses, and 9TH
ers, broken to pieces. The military
were on duty, but the King had given
orders not to take hostile measures foi'
defence, unless in the extreme case OF
absolute necessity.
