him at all hazard and cost to others and to hinuilf, and not to regard the pains and injuries, and even ths , *traction of others in the performance of that most sacred of duties. The Advocate must in fact, go on reckless of all consequences, even if amongst those consequences should be the confusiob and embarrassment of the nation. He felt that if he were to proceed by recrimination, if he were to approach that branch of the case, he should seem to, their Lordships to be justifying when he pleaded Not Guilty—to be palliating crimes and impro prieties, the least of which he denied to exist ; for he .would say it was false and foul in those who pretended the observance of their duty to wards GOD to forget it toward Man. It was scandalous in those to assert that improprieties were admitted to be proved against the Queen. — He denied it. He would shew that the evidence, so far from proving that, proved the reverse. One thing he would admit, and the enemies of his client might take the full benefit of the admission. He granted that his client left this country and went to Italy, and that she associated with persons, chiefly fo reigners. While the Queen was enjoying the society of their Lordships and their families, be granted that she moved in a more choice and dignified company. She was charged with having associated sometimes with the Nobility of Italy, and sometimes with the com monalty. But who brought that charge against her? Others might have brought it, but surely their Lord ships should not. They were the last persons who should have presumed to do so, for they presumed to judge her, and they were the witnesses who were to vindicate her. While she was in this country; she courteously opened her doors to their Lordships families, and graciously condescended to receive them. As long as it suited particular views and interests, her doors were crowded ; but when other views and interests interfered—when the lust of power and place broke in--her doors were opened in vain, and she was compelled to the alter native of submitting to the neglect, or leaving a country in which she had been treated contemptu ously. She adopted the latter, as the most tolerable of the evils. In the midst of all those afflicting cir cumstances, she had one support he undiminished love and dutiful respect of her beloved daughter. An event was about to take place, at which all Eng land were looking with anxiety—the projected alli ance. Europe had heard it announced. The only person to whom it was not announced was the mo ther of the bride ; and all that had been done to de serve this neglect, was the establishment, by the evidence against her, that she was not guilty.— A prospect now appeared of giving additional sta bility to the Royal Family. The whole of the period passed without any communication between the daughtetend the mother ; and, if the Princess's own feelings had prompted her to open one, it would only have subjected her to a struggle between power sad authority on the one hand, and affection and duty oaths other. When that event occurred which plunged all England into the OM heartfelt grief, and when all Europe sympathised in that event, it was corn inunicated to every Court with which we had an alli ance, and to many with which we had no alliance.— The person of all the world who had the deepest in terest in that melancholy event, whose feelings were most overwhelmed by it, was left to be stunned and overwhelmed still more, by learning it accidentally ! She learnt it from a courier who was going with intelligence to that most faithful ally, the Pope ! But if the Princess had not beard it, she would soon have felt it; for the death of the Princess Charlotte announced to the afflicted mother the Milan Com mission, and the commencement of proceedings against her. It has been the lot of the Princess of Wales to lose her surest stay and best protection when dangers most thickened around her, and scarcely one of her defenders were left; and it has been the signal for new 'persecution. Mr. Pitt was her early defender ; be died in the year 1806, and a very few weeks after, the inquiry into the conduct of her Royal Highness began. Mr. Percival, her firm, undaunted, and able advo cate, was no sooner laid low than new attacks were made upon her. Mr. Whitbread then undertook her defence ; and when that catastrophe happened, which , was deplored by all ranks and parties, then com menced the distant grumbling of the storm, for it did not dare to approach her Royal Highness, as the Princess Charlotte was then living—and men wor ship the rising sun ! But no sooner was the daughter dead, than the Milan Commission commenced its proceedings against the mother. And the day— the very day—which saw the venerable remains of a revered Sovereign consigned to the tomb— that Sovereign, who, from her first arrival in this country, had been her constant acrd steady defender, that same sun ushered the ring-leader of the perjured witnesses into the palace of his suctions - . The Learned Gentleman, after espressing his regret that ber Majesty had not in him the able defender' by which she had formerly been supported, proceeded to direct the attention of their Lordships to the open ing speech of the Attorney-General, and to shew how it had failed in being supported by evidence. The Attorney-General's ipweb was ast a bast/ Pledoltaisi at was from a traoseris zebus be bad before bias and be 'mad Jenne dear Loedeldpa to ledge bow the ttawraylbe Om prepared.

The Leansed Gentleman had mid, le hie °mobs speech. that he would bring evidence to prove the Improper coeds:: at the Queen almost up to the present time. But what is the fact? Why, t hat the evidence comes of to the present time, &Shot about three years —an equal period with that respecting which any evidence is given. He had told their Limishipa, that the guilty intercoms so long wished for, had commenced at Naples. Now, V this hi in peat it not only threw a stigma on that part of the eellitese leit 1111 . 11ke whole. The Learned Abadan= said, he wadi prove by marks in the bed of Bergami, that two persons slept in it; that the Queen wait into Bergami's room in the night ; and that, next morning, she was not seen until a late hour, and was net at home to any person that called. Now, every one of these 'seethes not only failed, but were negatited by the very wit nesses produced to support them. De Moot stated, that she did not know where the been went when she left her own room ; that she did not know where Berpmi was at the time; aid that, nest morning, the Queen was up as usuaL Nor was there the slightest evidence offered to prove that any pergola had called upon her Royal Highness. It was true, that neither the Attorney-General nor the Solickor-General had gained their information respecdng foreign mimes from a residencsabMad. Thus bad 'they dawn that they knew no thing of Italy. They had told their Lordships thather Ms jesty was black-balled at the Cubs at hullo, and that to be black-balled at the Casino would.ruin the best of characters. They bad forgot that ether persons, balding the famous Cols, ml *own. had Mae been black-balled then. The Attanter. General had asked, with iconATM emphaih, and becodebn horror t who ever heard of a Royal Princess , ;•the wife of the , Heir Apparent-going to a mailed ball In dispise? (Mach fough• lag.) Why did she not go in her own state mock *flit all Mr retinue and auesdants, instead of going ins carriage without even the Royal arms owl it, sod pasting through a beck dour in the garden? He (Mr. Brougham) wondered the Learned Gentleman did not add that she committed the aggravated crime of going to a masquerade in a domino (Leoghisse). It was not from a knowledge of Murat's Court, but from De Mont and Majocchi that they had gained their ifironnadoa ; but those witnesses, when under examination, bad fortunately recollected what was false and (ergot what was true. The Attorney-Gene ral had said, that be was insulated to state that the Princess had gone to the Theatre in a dress so very indecent, that she was hooted from it by the audience. The witness to support this assertion, said that the Princess was in an ugly dress in dispdes But strange as it might appear to his Learned Friends, persons at masquerades generally wished to comma themselves f (Janie). The Attorney-General had stated, that as Messina, Bargain! was locked in the same room with the Princess at night, and that voices were beard ; but De Mont, called to prove this, denied it. TM Attorney-Oeneral had said, that Majoeth I beard the Princess in Bergami's room, and that they were' kiss, ng each other; but hiajeccid only says they were whispering. In the same opening speech he had stated, that Stahl one night not finding Berpnii in his room, went to look for him, and saw him come out of the Princess room, undressed; and further. that Bergand being confused, said he bad gone into the room to see his child, who had been crying, and begged Smell not to men tion it. &cal is brought forward. but he denies it as strongly as posdble, by saying he does not recollect anything of the circum stance; and yet this was not for want of examination, for the Solicitor-General had examined him very closely. The nest was the scandalous scene at the Berms which the Attorney-General had palmed aa there like a brothel than a palace; bet them ens so stridence to support it. In Naples and Sicily, their Lord lp bad been told that the condect of the Olsen had shocked the Nobility, and that none doubted of her improper con althea with a incubi. but of this there was no proof.- With respect to whiting with the Nobility, be would admit Viet the Princess bad, from motives which he would not pro ! Sod to inquire into, been treated with the same neglect and abandonment, as raise persons had. from motives which he well knew. treated her with here. But when the Attorney-General stated her Royal Highness to have been abandoned by the whole of her English suite, he had forgot that Lady Charlotte Lindley had joined her at Naples. Was it not singular, said the Learned Gentleman. that this Lady should have joined the Princess if there was one atom of truth in the scandalous stories of her misconduct? Was it to be believed that this Lady and her own servants should not mix with the Neapolitan domestics of her Royal Highness and hear something of those indeeendes that were so notorious? or was k to be supposed that these Italians cos crated all they knew until they *ere safely lodged in Cetus. garden ? But if the Princess had been treated in some places with the same respect where she had been received by several liereign. Princes—by the legitimate Prince of Baden—by the etilimore legitimate &uaru of Sardinia—the legitimate heirs, as -distinguished from the heirs inheriting on the principles of liberty and by the will of the people. Another Prince, who he doubted not would contend in point of ancestry with the Smarts or the Bourbons, the Be, of Tunis had le eeived her Royal Highness with Meows becoming her rank. The Learned Gentleman must sow solicit the indulgence at their Lwdships while be leaked more narrowly to the am thus opened and not proved by the AnoriserGenenaL— Was it net a marvellous thing that the evidence should have fallen, sot only so far than o( the case as stated in the Attorney General's opening. but short eves of any foundation for the asp agabst Ms Illustrione Client?

Was ever before vice so unwary, folly so extravagant, unthinking—pasdons so thoughtless, so reckless, so insane? But all this was nothing to what the case, as stated in evidence, went to prove.

A new Etruria has arisen in the inune. Ole *NW of Newcastle-under-Lyme. The inspired taste, ti prover, the exquisite discrimination of all that is rhi dant in ornament, or instructive in emble made representation, that distinguished the most ingenious pen pie in ancient-Italy, appears to have been revived in the produc tions of that intelligent district in which Newcastle-under-Lyme is situated. In the works of ancient Etruria beauty seems to revel in every variety of captivating figure; and if there ever was any one people who, more than another, had an instinctive feeling of the beautiful in design, and who knew how to breathe that beauty even into the most common articles of domestic use k was the artists of Etruria. Their works remain to attest th: skill of those sensitive hands that have so long mouLiered into dust; but, if the conscious ,spirit of genius survive the dissolu tion of the mortal frame, and that spirit could be brought into the locality of modern E truria,: the most distinguished of those departed artists would instantly exclaim that the works of his contemporaries have been equalled in booty of r • Ind sir. passed In variety of usefulness, by the gel us e the British manufacturer.

The ways of Ptomain are inscrutable; and the means which the Dore employs for the accomplishment of His gracious purposes often appear to have no relation to the effects which they are designed to produce, or to the ends in which they are to terminate.
