The Noble Lord next directed the attention of their Lord ships to what had passed on board the polecat, which he ad mitted formed the most material part of the case for the prose cution. The evidence of Mr. Hownam had been commented on With severity by his Noble Friend on the cross-bench (Lord Lau derdale). Hew Wised the Noble Lord would apply as much candour to the evidence of Mr. Hownam as he had applied to that of Ma joechi, and he would probably find that there was no disposition in the former to prevaricate—(Hear, hear ! ).—That witness had been desired to distinguish between what he had heard, and what he bad known to be the fact. Upon being asked whether he knew that Bergatni had at any time slept under the tent, he replied, without the least hesitation, that he did not know ; and, im his cross-examination he replied with as little hesitation, when asked what he had heard upon thit subject, that he had heard Bartolomo Bergaml bad slept un der the tent, and that he believed it. Where, he asked, was the contradiction in this? Lieutenant Hownam had not departed from the truth upon either occasions, and was not deserving of the harsh denunciation of the Noble Lord, who hid viewed all the evidence with such remarkable impartiality. — Neither did Lieutenant Hownam merit the character of per jured wretch, conferred upon him by the Noble Lord, notwith standing the contradiction given to his statement in one part by Captain Briggs. Mr. Hownam's truth was indeed unimpeach able—(llear, hear).—The Noble Lord then adverted to Lieut. Flynn's evidence. Ile acquitted that witness of any intention of misrepresentation, but he allowed that there were such inconsistencies in his testimony ascribable to a confusion of intellect, as to render it impossible not to exclude it in the consideration of the case before their Lordships. lie was ready to admit this, for Lieutenant Flynn could have had no motive for mistatiog upon the subject of the writing of Schiavini, and notwithstanding the willingness of the Noble Lord (Lauderdale) to credit that witness upon one point, in preference to his favourite witness, Gargiulo —he meant with respect to the person who had the command of the palacca. It had been said by the friends of the measure before the House, that as soon as hlr. Hownam uttered his belief, the system of defence was changed. The fact was, that part of the case bad never been denied. Mr. Brougham, if did not make the admission, had not denied the belief; and Mr. Williams, in his opinion, had, in the course of his observations acknowledged it. Now. with respect to the five weeks spent under the tent in the polacca: he admitted again that the circumstance was a suspi cious one ; but it appeared to him, considering all the circum stances, consistent with the most perfect innocence of intention. The fact o . Idergami's sleeping under the tent was not doubted, but a colour had been given to that fact—(//ear ! hear I) . Garguilo and Paturzo were witnesses of a suspicious character. They were paid well for comitig over to this country, and what could be.said upon examining their evidence? Why, that this modest, delicate, Sicilian skipper, Garguilo, had, from an affec tion for his relation', morals, ordered him away from a sight th it might corrupt him-0 latig4)—and was not the anxiety of that witness to fix an imputation upon the Queen to be sure pecteLl, when he says, in answer to a question, that the Prin cees commanded such and such things to be done, because Ber semi commanded it ; and whatever llargaini commanded her Hoye' Highness did firer, hear). This was not all, for the Captain who had thus shewn his hostility, had an additional illative, in the quarrel and disappointment which had taken place with respect to his profits. Ile came too to this country under an expectation of a large recompence for his trouble, upon the rezammendatian of Colonel Brown—( hear, hear) ; and what impartiality was to be presumed in the evidence of such a person ? How absurd was the picture presented to their Lordships ! Was it possible that two persons, svha had been gra tifjing their passions all night, weld not abstain from the same Indulgence in the day; and that so extraordinary was the appe tite, that they could not help exhibiting before the whole crew ! If they asked why Schiavini had not been produced.—all he could have deposed to was as to the letting down of the awning, and could his evidence be for a moment thought necessary ? It would ap;ear as if Noble Lords had thought it to be her Majesty's practice to say, now the lit is upon us let down the curtain, every body knows what for. If adultery was to be carried on, why had not the part chosen for the entertainment been below the deck, where no interruption could have taken place, and where the sailors could not have had access, as they had at all times to the tent and other parts o f the desk? Now, 11 , 1101 the situation of persous on hoard ship was considered —co, place where the most aelicate female was obliged to resign all ideas of delicacy—where, as Sir W. Scott said, all persons, male sod female, were cooped up into a miserable intimacy, and %here every word ALA action were known to all on board—to suppose that a guilty imercourse had taken *cc under such circumstances was too much—to give a verdict to that effect Calid his Lordship) was against common sense !—(llcar, hear).— , The transaction in the tent, and the elevation o f bet-genii, were I certainly suspicious circumstances ; but that was all—they by no means amounted to a conclusive proof of wait. Their Lord ships would look to the preamble of the Bill, which stated, that the Queen's con.tuct reflected scandal and dishonour upon the Crown and the Nation. If the proof of that fact lay upon the polacca, what was it ?—llergami had been elevated by the power of a great Princess. It had been proved by eleven or twelve witnesses, that he had not abused his elevation ; on the con trary, he had acted towards his old equals with a feeling which proved that he had not forgotten his former station, and that he was grateful for the abmefits with which he had met. Did it nut appear, that instead of being a disgraCed outcast, he had been received with the Queen in Ceurts abroad— Carlsruhe, everywhere mischief W111%8400E; aliddkailst that sese,sht Bin had IseSW pass sit is. In that ease, year Lordships will at lease :He as. . But If the Bill shwa be reed a miodd time, and dile' rejected by some tiontrivance mother, in what slmatioo will stand?

The Queen must be invested with all bee rights and privileges and prerogatives; and she must be so ittH vested in the face of a Second reading of s. Bill of Degradation against her by the House of Lords i . -Our difficulties would be increased instead of diminished. It is true that. some step, such as that to which I allude, might serve as a kind of shelter for his Majesty's Ministers, but they could shelter themselves only by investing us with their disgrace and difficulty. This, my Lords, is the only word which I will allow thyself to utter on this view of the question. I should hold myself to be indeed acting un worthily if I were to make the present a subject of party feeling. I trust that I have not pressed Into ti" present argument any unfair or unworthy topic. I trust I have treated it as a Legis lator, and a Judge. I trust that the motives which induce me to urge your Lordships not to leave a brand on her Majesty, of which she is, in my opinion, undeserving , are of a pure and honourable description . — Th e Noble Lord concluded his speech with the following words : " My Lords, a great part of my poll. Beal life has been spent in storms and convulfions. As far as human infirmity would perMit me, I have endeavoured to pursue a direct and steady course. I have never courted power. In consequence of my adherence to prhiciple, I have been excluded from power. In the course of my life I have abo beets the object of much popular reproach. These, I trust, are proofs of the determination which I h av e invari ably evinced to resist the undue encroachments of the Crown, and at the same time to defend from the attacks of the people those rights and prerogatives which are not more necessary for the dignity and splendour of the monarch, than they are for the protection and the happiness of the people. In the case before your Lordships, I have not made up my opinion without much anxiety and mach consideration. I fairly acknowledge that my prejudices and Impulses were quite unfavourable to my pre sent conviction. I hardly conceived it possible that a case would be made out which would not compel me to vote for this Bill; but such a case has been made out; and, my Lords, first, ' on the ground of justice, and, secondly, on the ground of. expe diency, I feel, that if I were to vote for this B ill, I should never agtin lay my head down on my pillow in peace !--(Heor, hear).— Tla only vote which f cast reconcile to myself—the only vote which, under the deepest sense of my responsibility, I can con scientiously and fearlessly give, before my Goa, on the present question, is—Not Guilty !" (The speech of the Noble Earl was received throughout with great marks of approbation, and it made an evident imptession on the House.] Lord LIVERPOOL said, the speech which they had just heard combined two questions, namely, as to the guilt of the Queen, and the expediency of passing this Bill. This might in volve their Lordships in great difficulties; but, notwithstanding the difficulty, he must support the Bill. The question to be' considered now was, whether this Preamble had been so fat proved as to justify the second reading of the Bill? As to any agreement on this subject, he knew of none. The next question was, whether the Bill should be read a second time? As to the consequences arising -out of such a measure, be could not now consider them; not because he under-valued them, but because he considered this as not the proper time to discuss them. The time for doing so would have been on the 19th of August, when the subject, with all its bearings, was before them. Hoehn en tertained the question, however, they having allowed the Coun sel to join issue—having heard the evidence fully through, it was now due to themselvei, to the country, and .to the Queen, that they should come to a decision upon it. With. respect to the altering the Preamble, that would be a subject for conside ration in the Committee. He should consider, however, that no difficulty could arise in that respect, as it was customary in Courts of Justice to find a verdict of G..Jty on some Counts of the indictment, and of acquittal on others. The Noble Lord had asked him whether, if he could have compared the proof with the opening, he would ever have proposed this Bill. He would answer, he should h rye done so; and further, he would now desire no Noble Lord to support this Bill who did not ton seientiously believe the adultery proved beyond a doubt. He was ready to acknowledge there was contradictory evidence on this subject ; so there was in all great causes. Les their Lord ships look to the Douglas case, to the Anglesea case, and to all other great cases, and they would find it so ; but here he would desire their- Lordships to give her Majesty the benefit of doubt, wherever doubt should exist ; and allowing her that advantage, if he did not show her Majesty guilty beyond the possibility of doubt, he was ready to give up the Dill altogether. A Noble Friend of his bad regretted that this case was not proved by English witnesses. He had the same cause for regret ; but how , was it possible it should be so, when the Princess. of Wales toot I especial care never to have an Y.aglish servant or person abate' her, witholie exception of one person? Was it pessible then, to hare other witnesses ?. But it was also objected that the evi dence were all discharged servants. Ile was ready to allow that di,carded servants were a description of witnesses who ought to be looked at wi ill suspicion ' • but the accused had the power of b negativina their evidence, by the testimony of the servants who remained in her Royal Highness's family still. lie would not detain their Lordships by going through all the evidence ; but he would, for the fair judging of this ease, take De Mont, the discharged servant. and Lieutenant Hownam who owed every thing to her Majesty, and compare them; and he would ask whether Dc Mont was not confirmed in every circumstance in which it was possible she could be confirmed by llownam ; and indeed Hownam's testimony, in most cases, pressed heavier on her Royal Highness than De Mont's did. It was unnecessary for him to advert to the scenes which took place at Naples. If he was to judge on the evidence, as related to these transactions, he was bound to say he could not take the adultery as proved • but the circumstance of her going to the Opera only accompanie d: by llersand and lie Mont, and many others which occurred there, afforded a cause of suspicion ; but this was followed by other • introductia at Munich, at Baden, at Rome, at in fact, except where an English Minister interposed with I circumstances which admitted of no doubt—the aiou an active and unfeelina hostility—(Henr, hen-, hear).—The of the Countess of Oldi, in a secret and mysterious manner, Noble Lord then adverted to the testimony of Barbara Kress, into the family; and the admitting Bergami to dine at her which, he stated, did not increase the presumption of guilt, and table at Belenzoui, when all the other servants were excluded. which certainly had been very unsatisfactory with respect to Soon after h ex was promoted to be Equerry, and before six the stains, a subject which had not been slightly alluded to, be- mouths had eared,i he is seen by Lord Gaildford alone with cause the witness was influenced by any peculiar delicacy !

THE DISCOVERY SHIPS. - _ g i STROM/MSS, OCT. 46.—This day arrived the Leo, WILIAM sou, from Davis Straits; :he has brought dispatches for Govern ment from the Discovery Ships. They are evened here, or at Shetland, every day, not havlbg senneded in the 'object of their voyage, said to be owing to their proviSions getting short." Another letter state—" Nothing prevented the Mermen Ships from getting through but the want of provisions, or, rather, the riik of wanting them." Since writing the above, we have received a letter from Peterhead, dated SOth October, which states—" The Marna, Discovery Ship, arrived off here this day. Lieutenant Rainy and two ether Gentlemen landed from her, and proceeded to London." " Poem:mon, Noy. I.—The Discovery Ships have passed the Firth of Forth. Captain PAM has gone through here, on his way to London." Lieutenant PARRY, Commander of the Discovery Expedition, reached Edinburgh on Wednesday last, and immediately set off post for town. He reached London, in good health, this morning. Of course the information he brings will first be communicated to the Admiialty. All that he has said, as yet, to any one on the subject is, that the Expedition, on the whole, has not been unsuccessful. THE QUEEN. It would be a vain labour to attempt giving any abridged view of the speeches delivered for and against the Bill of Pains and Penalties now before the House of Lords. They possess a degree of interest - - which compels all to read them who feel any. in terest whatever, we will not say in the cause of truth, justice, and innocence only, as assailed in the person of the QUEEN, but in the stability of our national in stitutions and the welfare of unborn generations. In fact, no human sagacity can foresee the effects of any—the smallest departure—from the known and acknowledged principles of a Constitution reared up by the wisdom of ages, and cemented by the best blood of byepast generations. But such a departure is manifested on every occasion on which recourse is had to Bills of Pains and Penalties. Lawyers and Statesmen may talk as they will, but they never can convince the reason of Englishmen, of even the bare possibility of any individual obtaining justice in any Court in which the accusers are themselves to act the part of Jurymen, and then give sentence as Judges. We mean not to say that, however impro bable it may be, the accused before a Court so com posed can, by no possibility, obtain a sentence of acquittal ; for we are not without hopes that such will be the result on the present occasion,_ notwith standing the machinations of the Queen'a . enemies; but we say, that, even with such-an issue, the whole Trial will be not the less an act of injustice; for, among the very Judges, who ought, by law, to be of Counsel for the accused, are those who act, through-1 out the Trial, a part more becoming Counsel regu larly retained to make the worse appear the better argument. We would make no complaint were the diatribes to which we allude uttered before a Special Jury, bound to return a verdict according to the evidence; for we affirm, without any fear of contradiction, that' before such a Jury such speeches would- most effec tually serve the cause of the accused. They are so consummately partial, and directly opposed to the evidence before the Court, that instead of entrapping the Jury, and cozening them into- a falseverdict, they would alarm them, put them on their guard, and lead them to interpose their Constitutional shield' between the innocence of the accused and the sen ,tence of the Judge—putting their fat on his sentence by the simple but powerful award of—Not Guilty ! But, notwithstanding the anomaly—not to say ab solute injustice—of accusers being allowed to plead, and give sentence against their victim ; notwithstand ing the assumption of power to give a verdict by a majority of voices, instead of one voice—it is pos sible (aye, it - is possible!) that there may yet be found such a plantain of virtue in the aggregate body of our Nobility as will ensure a majority in favour of ' truth, justice, and innocence--4n favour of the much injured, oppressed,and persecuted Queen of ENGLAND. Let the Public read the speeches of those who have spoken in her MaaesTsis defence—and let the same Public contrast them with those o the Queen's ene mies. We are confident that, great, powerful, and convincing as have been the arguments of the for mer, they fall short of that conviction of the abso lute innocence of the QUEEN which results from those employed by her adversaries. As, however, we cannot enlarge without encroach ing on that room which oar Readers, we are sure, wouliii rather see occupied with a detail of what passes in the House of Peers, we shall abstain from any further remarks, but only observe, that if their Lordships imagine that, after a Conspiracy against her NIAJESTY has been denounced before them, the Public can:be satisfied with their proceeding to decide upon this 13;34 without first enquiring into that Con spiracy, they are dreadfully mistaken, and acting under a delusion not less lamentable than that which permitted them to IN made a party in the present rosectiOcn..

Lord HOLLAND explained. Lord' ERSKINE said, be shou2 be g'ad of an early qv. portetnity of addressing their Lordships, but he would not do. I - lain them more than half an hour. Lord LIVERPOOL then rose, and said • • 4 My Lords, 1• will now farther proceed to offer to your notice those consider , - ations which have induced me to come to a conclusion in this case. In the view which I took yesterday, two circunumnoes appear to me to have been clearly established. I said It was established beyond all doubt, if conclusions could be drawn from circumstantial evidence, that the, criminal intention of the Princess of Wales had been clearly manifested while Be!• gami was a courier. Whether the criminal act bad then beta completed or no, I will not say; but, from the evidence of De Mont and Majocchi, it would appear that it had : but this is a point on which I will not dwell I went further, and stated as the second fact that was established, that up to the period of the Princess's arrival at Augusta, in Apsil 1816, there was such a mass, of evidence as amounted to a moral conviction in my mind of the guilt of the parties. Convictions, capital convic tions have taken place in the Courts of Justice in this country on less evidence than has been adduced to prove that the cri. urinal intercourse had taken place before the arrival at Au. gusts. Before I come v ., what will be the first point of my observations this day (the affair at Catania), I shall sate the liberty of saying a few words on what passed on board the Clorinde, the fact of Captain Peck& refusing to dine at the same table with Bergami, and the impression ft made on the Princess. If her Royal Highness felt no consciousness or guilt, nor of the degrading connexion she had (mined, would she not have remonstrated to the Government at home, and have stated that Captain PecheU refused to receive at his table a per. son who was then her chamberlain, and that under circum stances where there was no suspicion? There was another eclat in which this might be viewed. Captain Pechell'y conduct was certainly a hint to her Royal Highness, and if all bad been pure and innocent in her Tunillarity with i3ergansi, it must have co. tarred to her Wad, that respectable pentoos had some suspicions on the subject—suspicions which ought to have made her so con duct herself unearth Bergami in 'inure asto be Above all svpictor. lie would now come to the cam at Catania ; ft bad been said that it rested on the evidence of De Mont ; but if their Lordship's looked at her Royal Higluseses suite at this time, they would find that there were only three persons wise could possibly be acquainted with such a circumstance, Countess Oldi, the Meet,, and her sister iron; two of these eight have been produced for the Queen; and the fact of their tat having been produced, was a strong proof of the truth of De Mont's evidence. De Mont. proves the adultery al Naples, at Genoa, and at Oen. Pitta's but, admitting that her character is so damaged that her evidence is not to be received to the fullest extent, yet in the case of Catania it is indisputable. De Mont is corroborated by Lieut. Flown= in every material point ; bat thetas* at Catania is se natural and so probable, end could have been so will contradicted, if not true, that corroboration is unnecessary, Vet:games bed room was first in a building across the court yard; but, on being ill, his bed was brought in o the house, to. a room near the Princess, and which bad been occupied by the Countess Olds. In the night De Mont heard the child crying -its the Princess's room, and the Countess of Oidi endeavouring to quiet it. In the morning she saw her Royal Highaess come from Bergand's room with pillows under her arm. De Mont says she does nut recollect whether her sister Been was there oe not, but the Countess of Oldi was there; ;he was to have been called—she is in town, and might have been called' to contradict it, bad not the fact of adultery been dear and in disputable. He would now come to what many of their Lord ships had considered the most material part of the eau--the circumstances that took place on board the pokcca i it was see tainly a material part, for there was no doubt nor contradiction. He would take the facts just as they were. Beeganii's bed was first brought Into the dining-room. It was singular that where, ever any accommodation was made, it was always foe ifc rgarni, One would have thought that the Princess would have clown a Naval Officer to be near her; he could certainly have given her the best information as to the state of the weather, and such things as she' was said to be anxious to know ; but it was fourd. in terry case, that It was Bergami, and Bergami ooiy, who was selected to be near her. It had been dearly proved, that at Atirr t and other places, the Princess slept alone in the inner tent with Bergami ; and that, on board the polacca, she slept under the awning with Bergami during the whole voyage, ad this with out the slightest necessity, or pretence of necessity. 'ref thirty nights bad her Royal Highness and Bergami slept under the same tent, without any excuse whatever to justify It. It had said there was too mystery in it ; but, if he was to judge from what had passed pt the bar of theft Lordships' Rouse, there was much mystery: The Learned Counsel foe the Qvcot (Mr. Brougham) in opening the defence of her Majesty, which he did with so much ability, never even noticed the te:;t, although, from the restions that had been ?ot by your Lord ships in the examination of the witnesses, be most bate been aware that very great importance hod been attached to it. It had been half mentioned by Mr. Williams, who reasoned epoi it as if it were true. • Upon the summing up by Mr. Denman, it was at first thought that be admitted the fact, but neat day, in the continuation of the speech, that Learned Counsel appeared to him to throw doubts upon it. Let their Lordships consider, for a moment, the evidence of Flynn, who had stated that he had made all the arrangements in the cabins for the accommot dation of the suite, and when pushed in his cross-examination , declared that he knew not where Bergami slept, although he knew where every other person connected with her Royal High ness was accommodated. By his account the ship was at one time so small, and at another so large, no correct information could be obtained—(Hear, Asur).—Was it pOssible that a person so long in the ship as Flynn had been could not be able so say where a person who was so closely connected with her Boyel Highness slept, and was be to be believed, when be said, at r.) tea fc anion bout uc;Jtitl hat I ur th xisted ent wit sk, wh lice of o near .etn in hide la f mod r onl uspend male Lynn ; lept fo .ut int , prop • en co stance, could I Why, I better ; not the n ker ould 'eyed, e ass • orid, effectin wkethe passed such fa had be , enjoytr .
