The interest in the fate of the eccentric Queen of England, supercedes almost ev¬ ery thing else We have already pub¬ lished full accounts of her nrrival andtht- events which ensued, together with both the King's and Queen's Messages to Parliament. And we have to-day al¬ most exclusively devoted our columns to extracts from the debates which follow¬ ed, in both Houses of Parliament. The following extract lrom the Speech of Earl Liverpool, furnishes some indication of the nature of the investigation which the Ministers and King wish to take place. " With regard to the inference of the noble marquis, that because a communi¬ cation had been made to the House of Commons similar to that laid before their lordships, this was a case on which they might have to pronounce judgment, an) objection taken under that view was per¬ fectly grouudless ; for this was not a case ou which their lordships could be called upon to decide in a judicial capa¬ city. Toe Z9SS& *£$ CLMuti'iny- ouu %rf great difficulty and delicacy, and he more particularly feltall thedifficulty and delicacy, which belonged to it in the ob- servatioDs he was&bout to make, because, in what he had to say, for the sake of explanation, it would be necessary for him to assume guilt; but he wished their lordships distiuctly to understand that he meaut to speak hj pothetically when he supposed certain facts to which he should allude to have taken place* With re¬ gard to the objection of the noble mar¬ quis, if there were ground for it, he would not enly agree with him as to the impropriety of the present proceeding, but would go a great deal further ; tor, were it supposed that evidence existed to couvict the Queen of high treason, he would not think it fit to refer the case in the lirst instance even to the House of Commons ; but would consider it the du¬ ty of his Majesty's confidential advisers to institute proceedings at once before the proper tribunal, and to put her on her trial according to the regular course of law.—liut, suppose the Queen guilty of what by some might be supposed high treaseu—the commission of adultery a- broad ; and suppose that such proof ex¬ isted on the subject as to leave no doubt of the fact—ou that supposition the opi¬ nion of the highest legal authority had been taken, and he had to inform their lordships, on that authority, that, suppo¬ sing such adultery to hive been commit¬ ted, it would not be high treason accord¬ ing to the law of the country, uor any crime cognizant by our laws, lie ex¬ pected that their lordships would call upon him for explanation on this point. He should therefore observe, that the sta¬ tute of Edward 111, by which the act of adultery committed by any persou with the Queen, or another member of the Royal Family, is nude high treason, did not apply to such a case as he had suppo* scd.—That act did not virtually consti¬ tute the commission of the criras °* Rea¬ son in her ; but it was the p actice of the law-courts to consider her guilty, like¬ wise, because she was an accomplice, and in treason all the parties are consider*^ principals. But if the Queen or the* Princess of Wales were to commi* adul¬ tery with a foreigner abroad, that for¬ eigner, owing no allegiance to this coira* try, would not be guilty of high treason, and indeed of no crime against the laws of this country. In this supposition tho Queen also would not be guilty;—f»r she could not be anaccomplicein a crime> where no crime was in existence. Suclt was the state of the case, but it might be: an omission in the law ; but still it wan the law of the country, and could not be made high treason in any individual case. But were the crown and the country* therefore, to sustain all the inconvenience of this omission, without any means of obtaining a remedy ?—It might be a>k~ ed whether there were any othergroands on which an impeachment might be founded. He was not aware of any. A noble lord opposite (Erskine) had once given it as his opinion that it should be made indictable ; but in the courts at present, ecclesiastical excepted, it wa3 considered merely as a civiliujury. If am indictment, therefore, could be brought in the Court of King's Bench, on what ground could the Queen be proceeded against for high crimes and misdemean¬ ors. There was no pround, therefore, for the noble marquis1 objection, that this was not a case of which their lord¬ ship* could take an) judicial cognizance. It was one with which parliament only could deal legislatively. Having remo¬ ved the objection, he now came to the question of the expediency of the course ^f proceedings which he had reroTrmp*Ks? cU j and ne contended that, upon a 0t£* ter so uew and of such peculiar delicacy,! it w as more proper to refer the subject to a secret committee than to submit at once a proposition without any previous step. In all cases of bills ol pain9 and penal¬ ties since the Revolution, be believed se¬ cret committees had been appointed. Or* these grounds, he thought the course h^ had recommended was most decorous and respectful to the Queen, and most suited to the case. The noblfc marquie had asked the intentions of ministers, for they themselves must know what they in¬ tended to recommend in the case. This might be said with re pect to etery other measure. In every case of conspiracy they might know a great deal more thatt was referred to a committee, and scarce¬ ly acase could occur in which they did not know more than those to whom the enquiry was referred- This, therefore^ was no sound objection. What it was proposed to enquire was, whether any proceeding was proper, and if any, of what nature and to what extent ; and he would ask, was riot this more deco¬ rous to the individual than for a minister tocomedowa at once with a proposi¬ tion." We stated on Saturday last, that the motion for a secret eommittee prevailed. The committee chosen by ballot in tho House of Lords, consisted of the Arch¬ bishop of Canterbury, the Lord Chancel¬ lor, the Lord President, Duke of Nor¬ thumberland, Marquis of Lausdowne, Marquis of Buckingham, Earl of Liver¬ pool, Earl qf Beauchamp, Viscount Sid- mouth, Bishop of London, Lord Redes- uUtfe>, iLurti1 dlraiiiiiL', autrtttei&rtoi Lau¬ derdale. The committee was ordered to sit on Tue?day, June 13. The sitting of the committee was afterwaads postponed to June 17. Extract Jrom the Debate on the Kings Message, in the House ofCommou$y June 7. Lord Castlereagh.—In rising to call the attention of the house to the Consider¬ ation of His Majesty's most gracious message, he was certain they would feel as deeply as he did the extremely painful and delicate duty which devolved upon him. The present was one of the most distressing and momentous public ques¬ tions which had ever been agitated in Parliament. He assured the house, that if he had not been persuaded, in com¬ mon with his colleagues, that every means which prudence and a conscien¬ tious regard to the illustrious personages could have devised have been exercised ; unless he had conscientiously satisfied himself that those difficulties which sur¬ rounded the case were such as would re¬ quire to be thoroughly removed, and un¬ less he was convinced that in justice to both parties, the forbearance which had hitherto been adopted, was not longer practicable, he should have risen to make the observations which he would feel ne¬ cessary to state on this important sub¬ ject, with more burdened feelings than pressed upon him on the present occasion. And here he felt it his duty to protest in limine agaiast the assertion, which had been crudely thrown out, that his majes¬ ty's ministers had undertaken to act the part of prosecutors ; and he trusted, that when the house adverted to the words of the message itself, that .t would perceive that no communication had ever been made in more gracious terms—(laughter from the opposition)—in terms which shewed, that the king had thrown him¬ self candidly upon the great councils of the nation, and in circumstances equally nter^tiog to him and to tbeflJj had ask-.
