If it were allowed, Ise should view it as the preenr,os of a "Vigo of tel rur, which must end in military contioul. He therefore impressed the ease snore strongly on the House. He had applied to the several departments fur justice, but in vain ; lie only found that perjury was to he protected by the rules of office.— (Hear, hirer!) Ile should new enter upon the case ; but he had only to titlark shadows. On the 9th of August he was in Paris, and at night he learned from the British Ambassador the demise of the Queen. He mentioned this because lie was said to have been at the time with 50 French officers, and made certain exclamations. He ar tired in town on the 13th of August, aisil went to Bran sienluirgli House, but was too late to meet the executors; ■std dusting the whole time he had no intercourse with any persons except those of her Majesty's establisinnent. He mentioned this because it was Said that lie was at a c l ots . destine meeting at Ilanunersmith, convened for the pur pose of obstructing the funeral. Al Brandenburg!' House they wear nut sure that the funeral would lake place next day. He afterwards went to see Mr. Hume, at Freemasons"favern, for information; but lie did not attend the meeting, for lie had no information respecting the faltered to impart. Ho then went to Brooke's, and did nut leave till eleven at night; but none of the execu tors lead any positive information album the funeral. At six in the morning he left London on a small chesnut horse belonging tolAldermati Wood; be mentiored this because he knew it to be part of the ministers' accurate informa ' lion, that lie appeared mounted on a tall black horse. — (Hear! )—lie then went to Itrandenbuigh Itemise, to hear Dr. Ltishington's protest.

The hearse was sum ttttt (led by the blues, but the horse guards were ill a different 'Affection ; there was tiling, and it was curstinued when it tended to a breach of the peace instead of the preservation of the peace.— He asked the men it that/ lied received milers to fire —they said no, but they had beeu imitated. He said, for God's sake cease. They continued firing. He im plored theist to cease. He said you were at Waterloo; you have had commit shot sent at yon; do sot disgrace the glos les you have gained on that day.—(Cheering.)— So calm was that he did not even use an oath. When lie saw a magiatrate, he spoke of what had happened; and he conjeded that person to remain by the otscer.

The officer then said, that he had given no orders Is, tire. He ought to have mentioned that the mess tipper/wed to be bensible of this rebuke; for they at last observed, h t us pat up our pistols and form. As to the attack and provocation, there was, as fur as he obses red, a eery partial throwing of atoms. Ile made every effort then and afterwards to preserve the peace. He afterward. (task his station behind the mourning coaches, and "toter left (lout station till he arrived (at Ilford. He then went to his own house. He mentioned this because it win•, he believed, stated to the government that he had timed With a gentlemau, and had drunk a vulgar, if not a treasonable toast.—He afterwards heard all sorts of dafa maim y reports—that he was to be lounged, drawn and quar toured ; that he would be tried by a court martial; that he as so be dismissed trues the army, &c. He called at the Duke of York's office, noticing the calumnious reports, and slat iiig that he was tot any time ready to meet t hem. Not ru caving any iutinuatioN. he went to Paris, Sept. 5, its per ' sof his family were left there. Out the 19th he received note from Sir C.

'finis in two lines and a half Ind he been plundered of his property—he would use no other expression—and endeavoured to he degraded. It was also endeavored to fix a stain on Isis character. He then made every effort to get a tout martial; he waived the benefits of all d Acetifies that might pi esent 0 trim.— Eventually the Duke said he was authorised to state, that no steps would he adopted. Ile said he arts prepared to contradict all the calumnious reports that had reached him. He applied to Lord S flinonfls for copies of the evidence about the Ham menial:Hi meeting; and to Sir It, !brute, aho staled that next clay such inhumation am. found to be fat-c. It ails also said, that he appeared aith it porter putt in Isis hand, encouraging the populate to oiler tapsts action—but that de. position was rertibed. He then read the con csliondLitte be tween himself and Major Oakes, in wluich the Major said he had not authorised the btaleltlelll* that were made—and he admitted that he had not :Oven orders to lire.

If the Roust now neglected to iislerpubv, they would become like the ancient Patliaments 01 Fimice, only the iii‘ttuments for registering the ty raimieal edicts of a tyrannical adini ni.trstion. Sir It. WILSON rose to reply, and observed, the noble Lord had said he (Sir It. \trillion), according to his own statiment, had acknowledged repritnanding the military, bin had neglected to admonish the populace. He denied the statement of the noble Lord ; he hail used every en dervour to keep the people quiet. 'nee noble Marquis had also accused biro of swing that he saw no stones throw u. lie was in the recollection of the I louse, and would tint It to gentlemen to say if such had been his statement. What he said was, that lie saw no stones thrown till he got to Cumberland-gate. The noble Lord hail also accused him of wearing • star on his breast on that day. It was tine he did wear a star on that day—it was a star of the Prussian order, and her Majesty had during her life frequently expressed the Wasn't lila- felt in seeing him wear an order which her father had worn iii his life time, and he wore it as a mark of respect to her memory. lie concluded by declaring, he would never cease his applications for justice, and would never fail, whilst it was refused him, to accuse those who detained it from him as vindictive and lawless oppressors. Mr. Brougham, Dr. Lushington, and Mr. Ellis, each confirmed the statement of Sir K. Wilson as to the facts which bad come under their knowledge. Col. CAVENDISH lamented that his lion. friend (Mr. Lambkin) had called the regiment with which lie was C 11111 l " murderers". (hear); and lie was the mum particularly surprised at such an imputat:on, given un the authority of perjured witnesses, who were ready to swear any thing spun that investigation. (Hear.) Having snade that remark, lie should leave the House to dispose of the (oration; as, having been connected with the inquiry, he felt it would be indelicate for hint to interfere. Mr. LAMBTON, in explanation, said, that his state ment was, that murder had been committed on that day; and he had used the expression upon the authority of a Coroner's inquest. It was a fact Uiat two men were killed on that day, and sinless gentlemen could say that the multitude had fired neon each other, he was at a less to know how they could be shot but through the instrumenta lity of the military. With this explanation, he begged to stand on his original expression. (Hear.) Lord UXBRIDGE said, that the bon. gent. bad spoken on the authority of au 'ugliest, the evidence adduced a which ought not to be believed. As a proof of it, he would only say that there were a number of men ready to go sip in a body before the coroner, and swear that he (Lord Uxbridge) was the man who s hot one of the persons who fell on the occasion in question, when it was known by many near him, that be was then more than AO miles fioin the spot. Mr. CALVERT rose amidst loud cries of " question," which rendered him inaudible. The House then divided, and the numbers were—For the motion, 97—Against it, 199—Majority, 102. The house then adjourned at halt past 11 o'clock. THURSDAY, FL,II. 14. At four o'clock, there being only 38 members present, the Speaker declared the House to stand adjourned till to-morrow.

Mr. BENNETT gave notice, that on Thursday, the 28th, he should submit a motion to the House, respecting the late Queen's funeral. Lord J. RUSSELL moved for an account of Newspaper Stamps issued last year, for town and country, distin guishing Papers. The same for 1799. WESTMINSTER PETITION. Sir F. BUiill --- ErF presented a petition, agreed to at as numerous and respectable a meeting as he bad ever at tended. He presented it with great pleasure. He agreed with all the petition, excepting such portion of it as attri buted the distresses to Mr. Peel's hill. The difficulties had arisen before the passing of the bill, mid therefore he coeld not attribute any such effect to the cause. He en tirely concurred in the petitioners' FOlivitatioll, to take the state of the representatiun into the earliest consider ation. Mr. HORHOUSE said, the petition contained as many wholesome truths as did any doe 1111 l ent. The petitioners dared to attribute to the corruption of Parlianseet the war against 1111111411 ficAusit abroad, and against human free dom at home. They were also unwise enough to condemn a standing Filmy, not thinking with a noble Lord that it Was the best preservative or out remaining libel ties. The petition also spoke of the Manche der [rushee's, into which he still hoped inquiry would take place; for the Glencoe massacre was nut inquired into till six years after it took place. Petition read, and ordered to be printed. KING'S SUPPLY.- - !NG'S SPEECH.
