At one o'clock on Tuesday, the Westminster

HOUSE OF iOftfiS, MOM) AT, yULT 3.
The marquis of Lansdown brought up the re
port of the committee upon foreign trade, but did
not enlarge upon any oi the results to wnicn me
inquiries of the committee had led, or upon any
specific plan that was tube recommended. The
, noble marquis, in general terms, adverted to the
great importance of the various subjects com
prised in the report, and expressed the anxious
wish of the committee, that tome measure, as far
us any measure Mas practicable, should be found
cd upon their report. He mentioned, particu
, Jarly, certain alterations and arrangements res
per ting duties which appeared necessary for
giving consistency and effect to existing meas
ures. The report was ordered to be printed.
The earl of Harrowby presented tho report of
the committee appointed to inquire into the
charges against her majesty, which was as fol
lows ; " that the committee have examined with
all the attention due to so important a subject.
he vaiious documents laid before thejni and they
find that those documents, contain allegations,
supported bv the concurrent testimony of per
sons in various situations of life, residing in
various parts of Europe, deeply affecting the
honor of the Queen, and charging her majesty
with an adulterous intercourse with a foreigner
in her majesty's service and attributing to her
majesty a continued series of conduct highly un'
becoming her majesty's situation, and character,
und of the most licentious description. The
committee have so deeply felt that the character
and honor of the crown, as well as the moral
feelings of the country, ate involved, that they
: re of opinion, that it is indispensable' that this
matter should become the subject of a solemn
inquiry , the necessity of which they iqost deeply
. deplore. The earl of Liverpool rose to give
notice, that he ould to-morrow present a bill to
the house, in consequence of the report of their
" lordships committee He would not then entei
- into the details of the measures to be proposed
to the house ; but he was persuaded that their
lordships were disposed to consult the conven

stating that, he must also repeat his objection to
the Jproposcd course of proceeding, and protest
against the injustice-of it....a proceeding whkh
would not cvcjLmcet the object of the accuser
His great objection was, that the charges were
