In the message !.f his Majestv, it appeared that the kn g threw himself:as by tl.e Constitution he was justified in doing, on the great council ofthe nation, and to ask advice of them in the dif ficult crisis in which the country now stood, as to the course lie was to pursue. At pre sent he could not say what course the House voi^ht recommend ; it must be after a select [ H ,dy of the House had enquired into, and investigated the nature of the facts aubmit- ed to them, that thev would be enabled to recommend the course to he pursued, and die ulterior proceediugs to he adopted. The Committee of Secrecy tn which he had now to propose the referring these papers, would have nothing to do with the guilt wr inno cence ofthe person charged except as in the nature of a grand jury, on whose report would depend whether any future step should ho adopted or not—(Hear.) And he ■would put it to the House, whether, in case of ulterior proceedings, they would not be more free and unfettered in their defence of their illustrious Mistress, than they could be if they were now appointed Members of that Committee, of Inquiry. He assured the House he claimed not from the House, ei ther for himself or his colleagues, any favor in the inquiry which they would make into . the conduct adopted by government, in the advice they had given his Majesty, in this most painful and arduous transaction ; hut, at the same time, he must protest against •he course adopted by the Honorable mem ber last night, of condemning them unheard, -and ignorant as he was of the circumstance ■and situation under which they had advised his Majesty. An honorable and learned gen tleman, (Mr. Brougham) on that occasion, however, strongly urged the necessity of a- roiding that investigation which must prove so painful to the illustrious parties concern ed; so injurious to the public ; and which must risk the character of a high and illus trious individual. And the honorable and •learned gentleman strongly urged ministers to avoid such investigation unless forced up on them. It had now been forced upor. them; negotiation was at an end ; for the transac tions-of the last 18 hours had proved how 'little was to he gained by negotiation; and how little the illustrious individual was in clined to he guided by the wise advice which the honorable and learned gentleman may he presumed to have given her. She had rather chosen to adopt the lamentable, and lie would add, criminal, advice of some per sons about her ; and had, as the honorable and learned gentleman last night declared, permitted garbled and untrue statements of what had passed to go forth ; statements •calculated only to inflame the passions of ♦lie lower orders. (Hear, hear.) The Mem bers of Governraejit had also been accused of offering her Majesty money and had been charged with acting unconstitutionally in doing so. It should he recollected, that no provision could be made for any of the Roy al Family, whether Queen or otherwise, un less recommended by the Crown. Ib all ■contracts made with foreign powers on the subjoct of a subsidy, the sum was first nam ed by the Crown, in the understanding that an a|>p!ication was to be made to Parliament JIe had thought it was the intention of her Majesty to reside abroad, and, in that event, it was becoming in Parliament to make the same provision as when she left the country. Vs it had been understood that the Royal' .Parties were to continue separated, the pro- vi-iou was proper, and was regarded as final, • specially, as by the settlement of marriage, •the Queen was entitled to £50,090-a year. No proposition had been made to the Queen to surrender her riglils, as Ministers must have open aware that no such renunciation could be made and no act of the Queen to that effect could he valid. The object of the arrangement had been, to put a stop to all conflict, both at home and abroad, betwixt the parties. As the Queen was not to live in .‘his country, it was proposed that she should .not bear a title that could raise a perpetual question as to her public situation with the representatives of the Crown, in foreign countries. The honorable gentleman had a document in his possession that proved no jdea had been entertained that the Queen should surrender her legal rights. No at tempt had over been made by the govern ment, that foreign powers should hurt the feelings of the Queen. No wish existed to . deprive her of any of her comforts. Oil the first day of the session the House had been informed that measures had been adopted to prevent any pecuniary embarrassment. V communication had been made by the First Lord of the Treasury, to the Queen’s hankers, since her arrival in the country, that there would be no interruption to her income pending the discussion in Parliament; and, that she. was at perfectfliberty to choose any residence she might think proper. The Members of (lie Royal Family were not entitled to reside in the royal palaces, and most of them had houses for which they paid themselves. He concluded by muviug, .thatthe papers delivered to the House be referred to a Select Committee to examine and to report upon them to the House. Mr. Brougham, (amidst a general sill) then rose. He assured the House that the noble lord had not risen upon this question with more pain than he now uid; with re luctance he rould not add, for who could feel any otherwise than satisfaction, that the hour was at length arrived when he might freely, fully, and openly, defend those in terests to the best of his abilities ; although he must do so, unfortunately, under the consciousness of his inadequacy to so great a task. It was to Parliament that the illus trious lady, who was the subject of the de bate, addressed herself; but it was to the -high court of Parliament and not to any sc- Vefed hand of mutes, that she made her jnpofl.

Why then was her case to hr made drp* nd- ent upon the sentence efa tribunal ol which ■ lie had never before heard, and before which die rould offer no defence r She well knew, ndeed, that from the mode of proceeding suggested by the noble lord [Castlereagh. j she could expect neither reheftror consola tion. It was a public trial thnt she desired, tr it was to the high court of parliament thnt she made her appeal. He. of course, knew nnt whether a hill of attainder, or a bill ol pains and penalties, ups in contemplation, or might be the result of the proposed in quiry. The nolde lord, he apprehended, would hardlv take for his model the pro ceedings in Lord Stafford's case, fc still lr<« would lie dare to derive a precedent from the reign of Henry VIII. [Hear, hear.] No for mer administration—not that ol Mr. Pitt him*elf—would have ventured tipona i)"fs- ure that indicated so entire a departure from the common principles of our jurisprudence. He knew nothiiigof the materials which w ere to constitute the subject of inquiry ; his knowledge was confined to the exterior ot a green hag. [Hear, hear.] In that hag was contained not only all the documentary evi dence, hut all the evidence of any kind which rould be adduced before a committee. lie had reason to believe that no living witness would he brought forward for any further purpose than that of verifying certain signa tures. It was indeed a lamentable circum stance that a lawyer of do common rank might probably’be found among this latter description of witnesses. Previous to that ill-fated hour which led the learned gentle man to whom he alluded—a gentleman dis tinguished by the rank ol king’s counsel, and universally esteemed for his character and abilities—to take up ins residence at Milan, no man would have imagined that such a task would have beer, undertaken by such a person. It was extraordinary that an ex pectant master in chancery would stoop to this employment. For w hat had lie ex changed his practice at tile Ear ? To min gle w ith idle gos-ips, to hear the stories of bargemen, to register the tales of cast-off mistiesscs aud discarded servants—truly an undignified employment. To l»e engaged for mortth after month in noting down the minutes of a sort ofeiiilence, with’which courts of justice tt# their misfortune were too familiar, but which to their honour they al ways reprobated, was a singular instance of departure from the ordinary course of pro fessional avocations. In this wav, however, and from sources thus impure,had lieen accu mulated and brought together all the contents of that green hag. This was the mass of evi dence on which her majesty’s accusers alone relied; and when he made these personal allusions, he did it with the feeling .. * one professional man filled with regret at the hu miliation of another, blushing at once for the profession, and foT human nature.—[Hear] near, hear.] It was lamentable that the base work should not have been left to other hands, to hands accustomed to the same de grading employment, to hands which not even this low and dirty office could further sully—But the noble lord thought proper to contend that all proceedings before a com mittee would be indifferent as to the result of an ulterior inquiry. He railed on every man who heard him to lay his hand on his heart and declare vvhethei ir. hU own case he would put his trust or rest his final hope on a committee. Admitting that something in the nature of a preliminary investigation ought to take place, it was not to the keep ing of a committee that he would entrust so sacred a charge—the charge of a queen’s honour and fair fame. The noble lord seemed to have supposed that it had been charged against government as unjustifiable on tlieir part to have made the proposition to the queen when Parliament alone could uieke the grant He (Mr. Broygham) was aware that the offer was to be considered in the. same way as if it had been made to any foreign power, when it was usual for min isters in the first instance, to enter into the engagement and afterwards come to Par liament to carry it into effect. But he (Mr. Brougham) must assert that he still viewed it as he had always done, ns nothing more or less-than calling on the queen to say, “ Give me 150,000 a year and I will admit that'I am guilty, or atfeasf not quite innocent.” (Hear.) She was not only to abandon her own title, hut she was not to be allowed to take any o- ther belonging to any other branch ofthe roy al family. What was that but to say, “ I admit myself to lie unworthy of that family, and ought not to be permitted to bear its name” (rjHCheers). That thequecn might not only abandon all her rights, but the very name of the family to which she belonged. If other propositions had been made to her majesty, which did not wear even the appearance of an acknowledgment of guilt —which as n woman of honour and of un impeached character and conduct, she might safely accept—which would not have hern discreditable to the government to offer, and to which in justice the queen might have yielded—he would have been the first tn have given his humble advice that her ma jesty should rather go a step too .far than not go,far enough to lend herself to an hon orable but a private and amicable adjust ment, (continued cheers) His reason was this—in this question the interest of the roy al family was most deeply concerned) and the interests of the constitution in .propor tion. Not merely was the queen’s character at stake—not merely must the treatment she had received in this or that instance, he investigated—not merely must the inquiry extend to this or tluit illustrious house w ith which she was connected—but all the pri vate history of all those exalted individuals to whom she was retail d, might (he did not say must) lie forerd into the conflict. Then the house nius-t g ve him. leave to say it would have another such session as had hceii known It years ago, when all public busi ness was suspended, w hen all feelings of or dinary political interest were annihilated, when the common state gossip of the day was stilled, when parties erased to engage, and political rancor had been overwhelmed i|i the great engrossing topic of the private life, habits and failings of one of the noblest personages in the realui. Who should assert what course men bound by professional ties to regard nothing hut the safety of his client (he referred not to members of this house, and therefore had no allusion to himself or his learned colleague) might think it neces- skill, the knowledge, ami the prudeiice of o- th< is—and who should deride that absolute necessity might not compel them to adiise a proceeding, of w hich some idea might be formed by those who hadmaiked what had pa-sed in this country M years ago? Hi tlieu iim-t he n sagacious man w ho muld assort w hat course necessity might compel and In must he a hold man who Would ray that if liere ip the situation of professional adviser to tire queen, he would hesitate lor one moment iii securing Iris client even at such a dcspciotc expense . An advocate, be it reuietnUcfefl. had hut one point to look to ; he w as mired,disgrac ed, degraded; he might even belong to a Milan tribunal, if he looked to any other in terest than that to which his character was I dodged. (Hear, hear!) But lie must be a much bolder man still, who with all these prospects before his eyes, would plunge the country into such fatal i.iquhicv, if there were rv« n a- bare possibility of avoiding them. (Continued cliei rs from the opposi tion benches.) Let it not he forgotten that there were three parties who took a deep in terest m tiiis discussion: First, the King, who was most desirous that the inquiry should proreed—who felt that he had noth ing to dread from disclosures, and wljo was unfortunately impressed with the idea that i:i his high office, it was necessary for his vindication, thnt something should be un dertaken. Next, tire Queen, who actvd nearly, it not entirely in the saniespiut— who thought it requisite for her own securi ty, for the ilrartKg of iier own honor, that tlie enquiry should lie persisted in to the end. She shrunk not from it, hot courted it : she was prepared to meet it ; she had ernie from safety into—he would not say jeopardy, because the innocent could know no jeopardy, hut—trouble, vexation, and anxiety, in going through the whole of this painful, qiid, in his view, afflictive and fright ful investigation. Both of these high par ties would instantly reject the advice lie was now tendering. But there was a third party, whose wishes he hoped tile bouse would not consult ; he ak'.ided to those out of doors, who were possessed of a greedy and diseased appetite for slander, and who only gave up their chace of vulgar, private scan dal on ■•'ime such ( mengrncy as the present, w Itnvc the allurement w as increased by its affecting the most exalted individuals in the land. Those who labored under the afilic-. tion uf such a morbid desire, and those who basely made a profit, by pandering for its gratification, had a direct interest in urging forw ard the inquiry, and most bitterly w juld they be disappointed if it did not proceed.— hr tlie humble perfumiance of his duty, he felt called upon here even to thwart herma jesty’s inclination, and he would tell her, “ Madam,if ne.gociation yet be possible, ra ther go too far, and'throw yourself upon your country and upon parliament, for your vindication, than not go far enough. If yet it be possible to avert the ruin which this course, if persisted in, will bring upon the nation, do your utmost to postpone the v- lamity.” (Cheers.) If lie might advise those who stood in a similar situation with regard to the King, he would say to them, “Act like lionist men, and disregard all conse quences : tender that counsel to your sove reign which the case demands, and do not. fear that parliament will abandon you, or the country desert you : even party will not disgrace itself to the lowest level, to which corrupt and unprincipled faction!*Ucsan des cend, by taking advantage of your faithful und fearless discharge of a noble and disin terested duty. (Hear, hear!) Do not appre hend tlvat even a political calamity will at tend you ; but, if successors must he appoint ed to your places, he assured that they will not be found within these walls.” (Loud cheers.) The late Mr. Wldtcbread andhimselfw ere the only persons who'had seen the w hole of the documents it contained, an 1. they had been increased. The Milan hoard sat for ten months to fill the green bag for the ac cusation, but lie did not say that ten mouths, or ten weeks, would lie required to blow the report of that hoard in the air. He would assert that it would be necessary to examine evidence as to the character »fthe accusato ry witnesses. One of them, Be knew, had committed a felony, and had been diseharg ed by the Queen from her service : and the evidence to prove this was a peasant who iKUtit he followed and found. Ollier cases of connexion between the witnesses could he, and must be established ; and though the advisers ofthe Queen might lie disposed to bring only those that were actually ne cessary, this preliminary operation of itself, must occupy weeks if not months. lie therefore, who thought that even six or eight months would complete the great subject, was egregionsly deceived ; but, if it were only four months, iiis prayer and entreaty to the house was, that it would spare the country from the suffering which such anin- quiry w ould inflict. He would now go to the, proceedings of the Hanoverian minister; the minister of a court most likely to be swnved by the government of England. The Hanoverian minister Baron Ompte- da, who had been most graciously and hos pitably received by the Queen, who had in sinuated himself into her confidence, who had partaken largely of her liberality, w ho had passed several months at a time under herroaf—this man (not indeed the envoy to this country, hut to the holy see) was disco vered, not merely spying into her actions, bribing strangers to watch her, anil even bribing her ow n servants, but it w as found that he employed a; tnilh to [tick the locks ofdier w riting desk, (shouts of hear.) in or der to examine any papers that might lie in her possession. (Hear, hear.) Unluckily for him, that which lie found, demonstrated the innocence, instead of the guilt, of the illus trious personage. (Hear, hear.) A young naval officer to whomthe transaction became known, demanded personal satisfaction; and at length, the Baron was expelled from the Austrian territories, not indeed for picking locks, but for refusing to fight a duel. Baron Omptcda must necessarily have been influ enced by a base spirit, when lie engaged in so abominable a transaction in order to con ciliate the favor of his employers ; he entire ly acquitted those who sent Baron Gmpteds on his mission to the holy see. Baron Reding w as now the Hanoverian minister at Rome, and Ids conduct towards her Mujcsly was also worthy of remark.— The moment it was notified by the Bishops to the Chief of the Consistory of Rome, that her Majesty’s name was not inserted in the Liturgy, the body guard, which had prtvi- ■ously been allowed her, was immediately withdrawn—they pretended that she. came concealed us the Countess of Oldi. But Ba ron Reding, the Hanoverian Minister, went a great deal further. Ils would not call her by the title of “ Queen,” he would not call her by the title of “ Princess of Wales," but he sometimes railed her “Caroline of Bruns wick,” ill so many words, without the epi tiiet of “ Princess,” which she certainly was who entered his excellency's society must have heard him talk in this manner ofthe consort of his sovereign, who, lie was per suaded, had too much the feelings of a gen tleman, ot a prince, of a man of honor, toal- low any individual to insinuate himself into his favor by treating a female rudely and dis respectfully. (Hear.) Her Majesty had com manded him to tall for a full, fair, and open investigation. The speedier the beginning of it was, the more eouqfietelv would she he gratified—the more ample it was, the more derided would lie her satisfaction. But, that it wutild be a short investigation, he, who knew the course of such proceedings, felt to be impossible, lie implored the house to consider how far more virtuous an act they would do, by avoiding such an in vestigation, rather than by showing their constancy and perseverance in steering,how ever successfully, through these aceuraiila- ted difficulties. (Hear.) Mr. Canning said, that in all the discussi ons which hau taken place before this crisis, he had looked to the situation of the Queen, as to that of the nearest and dearest friend To his sovereign he ow ed the duty of a privy counsellor ; to her Majesty he owed every esteem and respect. The wish nearest his heart was, that this extremity could have been avoided ; his next wish was, that her Majesty might come out of this enquiry with honor to her«elf,& satisfaction to her friends. Art honorable member, (Mr. Tierney) Lad said,that no compromise could take place without injuring the King's honor, or else in suiting the Queen. Another lion, member blamed government, because they did not themselves bring in a hill of pains aud penal ties. But this was not the duty of ministers ; they had not undertaken the task of bring ing forward those charges; they were, not the collectors of the evidence to lie lagl be fore the committee. (Hear, hear, hear, from the opposition benches.) They felt it their bonnden duty tn lay them before the house. What was the first step taken by ministers t They recommended a compromise, which the hon. and learned gentleman now advis ed. That hon. gentleman, (Mr. Brougham) knew this had been offered, and his assist ance to bring it about had been since request ed. If that had been accepted, it would have spared the house the painful -duty which now devolved upon them. The pro posal was said to he revolting, and a inodifi cation was recommended. Why was not the modification proposed before ? It was now, he feared, too late to propose any. An lion, and learned gentleman had expressed his regret at the failure, of all amicable ar- rangemerits ; and it was but just to the hon. and learned gentleman to declare, that he (Mr. Canning) believed that he hud underta ken the management of the business with a very sincere and ardent desire to bring about a favorable result. But it was a pity that the hon. and learned gentleman, before lie had set out from London, did not so much as tell them that those, terms could not be heard without indignation ; or surely that which it was right to speak at St. Ollier’s could not be unfit to he spoken in London. He.deprecalidthe idea of a hill of pains and penalties against her Majesty. Parliament were not ended upon to become the accu sers ofher majesty ; and, said he, “ I, as one individual, so help me God, never will place myself in thnt situation.” lie regretted that all hopes of conciliation hud failed. Inqui ry was challenged, ‘inhere should appear matter of crimination, there must he an open inquiry ; the illustrious person should have the full opportunity of defence. His first wish was, to avert inquiry ; his next, that her Majesty might pass through the ordeal cfoar and triumphant. Never had he been involv ed in difficulties so distressing as those which he had felt during the w hole of this discus sion. Mr. Tierney said, it was impossible that any man of good feelings could come to this question without the deepest anxiety. His only satisfaction was, that he had nothing to do with the negotiations, which seemed to have brought all the parties concerned in them into a piteous plight. [A laugh.] Mr. H'ilberforcc said, there was nothing, he would say, but the absolute despair of any reconciliation or adjustment in this case, Which would compel him to abandon the course he now felt it his duty to adopt;-with a view of preventing the dreadful discussi ons with which they were threatened. (Hear, hear.) He bclieved'there w as not a man in the house who did not participate in his feel ings of w ishing, if possible, to prevent the matter from going on. [Hear, hear.] He proposed that they yet pause fora day or two, before proceeding farther in -this busi ness. [loud cheers] in order that the parties might have time to cool, [hear, hear ] The hon. gentleman concluded w ith moving that the farther debate on this question he adjour ned till Friday next, [loud cheers.] Lord CaxHcrec/rh expressed his 'willing ness to accede to the wishes of the house. It was impossible for him, however, after the experience which he had had, to hold out any sanguine, expectations of an adjustment, or to make himself responsible for it. The motion for adjourning the debate to Friday next was then agreed to. Adjourned at one o’clock. HOUSE or LORD?,—June 12 The Queen.—The varl of Liverpool re minded their lordships of the order which had been made on Thursday last, that the secret committee should not meet until to morrow. lie had made the motion for that order, not on any specific ground which could induce him to think it necessary, but upon hopes which appeared to he entertain ed by their lordships. Since that period, communications and explanations lino taken place on the subject. He was not prepared to say what might be the result of these communications and explanations, but the state of tlie business was certainly such as to make a further adjournment of the meeting ofthe committee desirable, He, therefore, intended to propose that the day of meeting should be fixed for Saturday next. Before he sat down he thought it necessary to ob serve, that a fabricated account of the cor respondence on tiiis subject had appeared, in which the documents were most scan dalously falsified, and converted into libels. It was an aggravation of this conduct, that it must have been done by some persons who had seen tlie originals,and who, there fore, could not be ignorant of the fabrica tion : It was, however, but justice to say that no blame could be imputed to her ma jesty’s legal advisers. They had very hon orably ami voluntarily communicated to his majesty’s ministers that they were no par ties to the publication, and that nobody could regret it more than they did. He con cluded by moving that the meeting of the secret committee he postponed to Saturday next. Ordered. London, May 2tl.

Marshall has favored the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser with London pa pers to the lGth June. The letters are of a later date—there was no material alteration in the market. London, June 13. At the King’s levee yesterday, Mr Rush, the American Minister, was intro duced to his Majesty, and delivered his new credentials, which were graciously received. THE QUEEN. We find it more decidedly certain, that the affair of the Queen will not be discussed this night in the House of Commons.—If the preparatory move ments, if the interval of negotiation, oc cupy so mi eh time, how long a space will bn consumed in the investigation of the charges, in rebutting, in recrimina ting, in explaining ? During the nego- nation we must be content, to gather from report what occurs, and we sup pose the public will give us credit for as accurate means of information as any of our cotemporaries. It is impossible to meet all the rumors of the day ; but we believe it may be confidently trusted, that those which we fail of noticing are for that reason entitled to a very limited degree of credit. The negociation, so long as it continues, will, we hear, be personal, and not epistolary. Those w ho have the honor of the Queen intrusted to them have a very difficult office to perform. Every attention to the per- sonalfcelings of the other party will, no doubt be paid, (similar delicacy to her majesty having been evinced ;) but we do not see how the fullest assertion of .Piousness of innocence, can be given up. It was yesterday said that a com mission of which Lord Fitzwilliam was to be president, would be appointed for the investigation of the business ; but this report is totally unfounded. It may have originated in the fact, that Lord Castlereagh tintl the Duke of Wellington had, at two o’clock waited upon the no ble Earl in their Court dress.—Times. London,June1G. The Paris Journals of Monday last 4 arrived this morning ; those of the pre ceding day were received last night. On the opening of the business in the Cham ber of Deputies on Saturday, M. Lafitte impatiently rose, and in an animated tone expatiated on the wanton outrages com mitted by the military in dispersing the mob, and particularly on the preceding evening, in support of which he read it letter signed by several inhabitants of the neighborhood of Port St. Denis, stat ing that a number of persous hud been wounded, and one killed, by the troops in that quarter. During the reading of this letter, considerable agitation was produced in the Assembly by M. de Cor- celles, exclaiming Le Poila, and produc ing half a snbre, which had beer broken in one of the contests in the streets, and left behind. M. Lafitte proceeded at considerable length, and obgerved that he did not approve of riotous assembla ges, but was it astonishing that citizens w ho failed in having their wishes atten ded to in the Chambers, should seek to express them, ns far as possible, in the • most legal way ? Several voices called out “ Revolt is not legal.” M. Lafitte contended, that under a representative government it could not be called a re volt, when the citizens assembled with out using seditious expressions. His house, he continued, was constantly fill ed with the citizens, his constituents, furnishing him with evidence ofthe hor rors committed by the military upon the people. (Crcat indignation.) What was but partial tumult at first, had increased into popular indignation. The soldiers were infuriated against the people, whom they vvflre taught to treat as factious in cendiaries. This could not go on. Paris must be entrusted to its proper protec tors, the National Guard ; or if these scenes of slaughter were to continue, all Frenchmen would soon remember that they once hail been soldiers. (Much tu mult was now excited in the Chamber, and some intemperate imputations were exchanged.) M. de Montcalm said it was false to as sert there were no seditious shouts a- mongst the mob, as he had heard them. M. Lafitte and Corcelles insisted that the seditious expressions were uttered b J police spies : the former further declar ed that tlie capital was not free—that the very Deputies, in stepping out ofthe Chamber were in' danger of being assas sinated. The disturbances instead of subsiding, increased every hour. “ Yes terday was the most lamentable that had yet arcived; to-morrow will be still more disastrous.” M. Cassimir Perrier sup ported M. Latitte’s assertions, and hij demand upon Ministers to explain the conduct ot those who acted under their orders. The keeper ofthe Seals charg ed the popular ferment in the capital up on the systematic inflammatory speech es of tlie Liberals in the Chamber. “Re bellion,” he continued, “ has been pre pared and organized ; and all the weight of this Chamber ought to bear against its progress : it has its chiefs—its signals— its pass-words—its manoeuvres. Every pacific means,” he added, “ had been employed in vnin, before resorting to force.” Here he read a passage from a report addressed to him by Lt. Gen. the Count de France, stating thnt stones had been throw n nt the troops, and that a- motigst the shouts, on the part of the mob, were heard, ‘ Vivent nos Freres de Manchester!* [Our Manchester bro thers for ever!] 1 Down with the Cham bers !’—‘Down with the Royalists!’— ‘ Down with the Emigrants !’—“ Now,’* continued his Excellency, “ what do you think of the efforts made in this tribune to inflame the passions, and to justify se ditious mobs ?” A leud noise to the left —a voice, “ You habituate yourself to calumny.” The Keeper of the Seals— “ I attack no one.” M. M. Lafitte and Cassimir Perrier—“ Yon seem to point to us.” The Keeper of the Seals again declared that he attacked no one per*on- ally. M. B. Constant iasisted on speak ing, and the greatest confusion ensued. M. Hautefeuillesnid the discussion would again agitate all France, and he therefore called for a Secret Committee. This was supported by five members. M. B. Constant nt length obtained a hearing, when his quoting a letter, stating that the writer saw the Cuirassiers cutting down men, women and children, and their offi cers encouraging them to slaughter, re newed tlie confusion. Tlie keeper of the Seals again rose, aud witli considerable animation contra dicted this exaggerated statement, which lie qualified as a “ base and false accu sation.” After another interval of bois terous contention, the Chamber pro ceeded to the consideration of the 6th article of the election law, the 2d, 3d, 4th, aud 3th, being suspended by the a- mend/nerit carried in the previous sit ting. The-Glh, amended sons to become consistent witli the amendment, was pas - sed ; us were also the 7th, with some* amendments ; and the 8th amended by the commission. The Chamber then adjourned to Monday. The Courier denies that any secret investigation of tlje conduct of the queen, is contemplated. The editor says her Majesty knows this ; her Majesty’s le gal advisers knew it: the Parliament knows it : the whole country knows it. he Courier of the 16th, is nearly right, founded on the most absolute con-1 filled with the particular of the splen
