ENGLISH PARLIAMENT.

The Queen.-Mr. Monck had two ques.
tons to put TO ministers, relative to the APP
pearance Of the Queen at the approaching
ceremony OF the coronation. First, whether
any additional expense would be required
for the coronation Of the Queen. He had
heard that seats were provided for peeresses
at the coronation, but no place for her Maj
es:y; and that the name of that llustrious
Lady, as connected with the approaching
ceremony, wa. altogether omitted. He
could not give credit to rumor so scaDda-
lous to government. Ministers must know
that her Majesty was as much Queen, as his
Majesty was King of this country. Any
vote however large, would be well received
by the public, ifpropeIly applied; but. iffhe
public n oney was intended to be applied to
the views and purposes of party-ii il was
to be applied not in manner that would
throw general lustre on the Royal festival,
but for the purpose of vexing, bumbling and
degrading the Queen, in that case he was
certai that the money would not be granted
with the good will OF the public; grant so
applied would be unaCceptionable to the
country; and grand and solemn ceremony
would lose much Of its grace and iustre in
the eyes of the nation.-The Chancellor Of
the Exchequer said that the 100000. al
ready voted would cover the expenses al
ready foreseen--Mr. Bennett said il bad
been the practices of that House in former
times TO make grants and grievances go to-
gether. This practice might be revived on
this subject with advantage. The house
had been charged by James |. with sending
an oyez! tbro' the country TO collect griev-
ances, but it was to this oyez that the coun-
Try owed its liberties Lord Londonderry
said he did not know that il was grievance
that the Queen should not be crowned. 1t
required an act Of the crown to enable her
to be crowned. He and other advisers Of
the crown were not prepared TO advise the
King TO take the steps which were necessa-
ry before her Majesty could take part in the
ceremonial. If the Honorable Member or
any other gentlemen was prepared 70 revive
the dying, or rather the dead embers of the
painful controversy in which the country was
lately involved, they must take upon them
selves The responsibility Of their indiscre-
ton. Mr.. Brougham said he would abstain
from entering at large upon the question.
but begged to protest against being suppos-
ed to assent to the principle that the Queen
had not right to be crowned.
