The Sottcrroa.gatraitat then stated, that if the Learnsd Counsel for the Queen had slaked tbs "lotion with the view' which he had just described, there eitidd Wise objection to it. The witness was then called back, andthe question was again put, whether any diffieelty had existed as to the payment at her salary ? Yes. At one tints diem Was a good deed if armor disc. Did any other circumstances occur in 1817 which were calcu lated to render your stay in the situation particularly disagree able 7—{Tier Lidybhip was in tears while she gave her answer, which wall—Yes, I suffered a coissideralik depression of spirits. Had you at that time lost any oar relations P—Yes, I had tot two. Were they not the late Lord Guild/Pi end Lady Gleniervie f —Yes. I beg to ask your Ladyships whether yin ever observed any thing in the conduct of the Queen, lay impropriety in her Ma j:sty, to induce you to quit her iltrvice?—l myself never did Perceive anything improper. Lord DONOUGIIMORE.&-You said you joined heF Ma. jnty ten or twelve days before she quitted Naples, and other circumstances, which leads to the inference that the experience you had of the deportment and conduct of the Queen extended over a period of 24 days ?—in Italy. That is a part of tile time comprised in the Bill. During that time that you say you were abroad, you say you observed no im ropristy in the conduct of her Majesty towards Bergami ?..None. What part of the English suite was with her Majesty when you joined her at Naples : was Sir Wm. Gen there ?—Yes. Did he stay at Naples, or did he resign?—He resigned as account of ill health. Was the Honourable Keppel Craven there?—Yes. Did he remain, or did he resign?—He also resigned. • Was Captain Neste in her Majesty's service when you joined' bar Majesty ?—He was at Naples ; tint I do not know that he was in the service of her Majesty. _ _ At the time the persons you tt have mentioned quitted the ser ♦ice of her Royal Ilighnes% were you aware of any other per sons having joined her?—Yes. Was Bergami then in her service T—He was : I found him in her service. Did a sister of Bergami join her at Naples?—Not that I am au are of. _ _ Do you remember Louis Bergami joining the Princess at Naples think Ido remember him. Do you know if he was taken into her service there ?—Ne I do not. Do you know of any ether of Bergamrs family being with her Royal Highness at Naples I never heard of it. Do you know of a child of Bergamrs, Of the name of Nieto rine, being with the Princess?--No, I do not. You said you saw nothing improper in the conduct of the Princess, while is her service, which induced you to quit it ? No, I sew nothing improper. Was there any report T—{Bear, hear.) Mr.Bsonesasst objected to the question. The LORD CHANCELLOR said reports could not be admitted as evidence, but he thought the question might be so put es to be unobjectionable. Lad of DONOUOHMORE.mi•Were there any reasons ope rating on your mind which induced you to quit the service of her Royal Highness, except what you have stated ?...Certainly I had seen nothing improper in the condom of her Royal High ness, while in her service ; but reports of so unpleasant and do. grading a nature were circulated, as to operate on sty mind, and induce me to wish not to remain in ber service. Lewd FALKLAND—Did your Ladyship observe sea degree of familiarity in her Majesty towards menials, male or female ? —I conceived her Majesty to be affable and familiar to all her servants. Was it such affability as is usually shewn by the higher classes of society in this country to their inferiors?—l think there is more familiarity shewn by the higher classes in Italy than in England. 1 thought the manners of the Queen rather peculiar. ' Did you think them peculiar in a foreigner 7—l am not, per haps, very well able to judge of that. The foreign'Nobility are more apt to converse with their servants than the English. The Queen had the familiarity of a foreigner. lAid you think that familiarity greatly exceeded that of fo reigners, so far as you have had an opportunity of observing it? —No, not greatly. In speaking of your observing an improper familiarity on the part of the Queen to Bergami, had you a reference to that pe culiarity?—l had. Did you observe anything extraordinary or unbecoming in the conduct of the Queen towards Bergami 7—Nothing extraordi nary or unbecoming. Her Majesty talked to Bergami as she used to do to Sicard and various other persons in the family. Earl. of LAUDERDALE.—Your Ladyship has stated that you quitted the service of the Queen in consequence of a com munication from your brother. Wu that communication in writing 7—lt was. have you that letter in your possession 7—No, I have not. Mr. BIOUGIIIAIt objected to the question. Earl of LAUDERDALE.—Was it in consequence of the difficulty of obtaining your salary, that your brother requested you to leave the service of the Queen? Mr. BROMMAX objected to the question. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Does your Ladyship knew if that letter is in existence 7—l believe sot. Have /ou made my search for it ?—I have not. Mr. Beousium objected to the production of any letter to the witness, written by an individeel who was not a party in this cause. The letter was net authorised by her Majesty, but b y a relation of the witness, and, therefore, could not be received in evidence. The Lord CHANCELLOR said if the letter could not be produced, the questions relating to it ought to be expunged from the minutes. He thought a search ought first to be made for the letter. Lord ERSKINE rem and defended the wig• lie said ' the Noble Lady at the bar had given her evidence with great candour and fairness. She bad stated that she saw DO impro priety between the QOM! and Bergami; but that reports, con tradictory to her own observation, bad operated on her mind He had some other remarks to make on this subject, which he would defer until the production of this letter. Lord LIVERPOOL—If the letter could be found, and it .Was proper that it shouli be produced, then it ought to be pro duced ; but if it was improper to do so, then it was unnecessary to occupy the time of the House in discussion upon it. The Earl of LABDERDALE to witness.—Did your Lady ship ever go into the bed-chamber of the Queen without being sent for, or without knocking at the door ?--.1 do not particu larly recollect going without being sent for, but I certainly did not knock at the door. D 3 you recollect ever going without being sent for ?—I do not recollect ; but it is not improbable that I have. When the Queen proposed to you at Nice to join her, and ;erne attangernenta were made in consequence, were they on your suggest on, or on that of her Majesty?—When the Queen Wiatd me to jean her at Naples, I said I would obey her Ma- :7_ ' 'IX but as I wished to go to land, I hoped she would not m- , to my doing so under the escort o(my brother, who was sea to leave Italy. . The Soucnroa-Gmmuc., through the medium of the Loos Commiscas i enquired, what mouths the year 1017 was k that the veinal' quitted the service of her Majesty t—l cannot sai mactly—about June or July. P r itals to withdraw. ordered• .6 Lord LIVERPOOL wished to know, whether it was ex pected that. lAdi,Charlotte Ludlow should search for the lit ter's*. Ds? The LORD CHANCELLOR said diet although reports might have operated on the mind of Lady C. Lindsay to induce 1W to leave the service of the Queen, yet such reports could 4118 M admitted to prejudice the ease of her Majesty. He did sit concetue the letter to have any bearing on the case, but any Illebie lord might move that it should pe produced. The Earl of LAUDERDALE moved it accordingly; and Lady Charlotte Lindsay was ordered to search for it. Esti If LcApoarr, exambied by Mr. Baocouast. Was your Lordship in Italy in 1815?—I was.

(To be continued in a Second Edition). • The Dowager Duchess of RUTLAND has left Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, for Chevelly, Newmarket. Yesterday the Duke and Duchess of BEAUFORT, gave a grand dinner to the Marquis and Marchioness of STAFFORD, the Earl and Countess of HARROWBY, Lord and Lady BELGRAVE, the Archbishop of YORK, and a select party, at their house in Grosvenor-square. Yesterday afternoon, the Duchess - of MONTROSE and Lady CAROLINE GRAHAM, arrived at their house , in Grosvenor-square, from Cheltenham. The Archbishop of YORK, continues to reside with the Marquis and Marchioness of STAFFORD, at Staf ford House, Cleveland-row. Yesterday Viscount and Viscountess GRANVILLE, gave a sumptuous dinner to a select party of their distinguished friends, at their house, in Bruton-street. An article from Vienna, of the 21st ult. states, that Prince Tschefvmrtinski had arrived there with dispatches, announcing that the Emperor Alexander could not leave Warsaw before the 20th instant. Hostilities, it is said, would not commence against Naples until after the interview of the two Emperors: but, in the meantime, all official communication with that country is to remain suspended, and it is to be placed in a state of quarantine, as if infected with the plague. AFFAIR OF HONOUR.--A meeting took place yes. terday evening near Islington, between Mr. K. an English Gentleman, and - Mr. F. a Gentleman from Ireland, originating in a political misunderstanding. After exchanging shuts, without injury, their friend% interfered, and the matter was mode up. • „.,„„ '00•••••• -ten • • IGIREIGN At slate hour last night, Mails arrived from Ham burgh and Holland; the Papers by which supply us With the following articles: VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 20. Of the reports which have circulated here for these three or four days past, respecting peace or war with -the Two Sicilies, the former seem to deserti the most credit, And to assume a cha racter of undeniable authenticity. People begin to look less serious, and this happy change is attri bitted to the contents of dispatches arrived from 1 Warsaw very lately. The communications' which they contain are said to be of a pacific and conci liating nature. Since the Emperor Alexander has been m the capital of Poland, couriers are continu • ally passing and repassing in the mad to Warsaw, which gives reason to suppose that the negotiations between our Court and that of Russia are very active. It is now certain that our Emperor and the Emperor of Russia act in concert with the King of Prussikand some other Sovereigns, relative to the affairs of Italy. In all possible cases our Cabinet is resolved not to commence a war, unless that of St. Petersburgh shall give its full consent to it. It is asserted, that matters will not come to this calamity, the Russian Monarch having formerly declared for the-maintenance of the general peace, though he, at the same time, disap proves the innovations in t he Neapolitan Government. We learn that the Italian Print?: have finally de clined the protection which our Government offered them : they have even made preparations to put themselves on the defensive in case of the occupation of their territiary. The Piedmontese spew themselves the most averse from a federal compaet - with the Austrians; and the news which has last been re ceived from that country gives ground to consider as very probable, an approaching change of system in the hereditary States of the King of Sardinia. Mean:- time, to be prepared against eve: y event, the military preparations are continued without ceasing. Orders have been sent to Milan, that the head quarters of thi' Army of Observation shall be fixed at Vicenza on the 15th of September, and all the corps comprising it are to be complete at that time, Many . surgeons who have been taken into the service have been sent to Italy. Considerable sums of money have also been sent for the payment of the troops who were, on the Ist of this month, unpaid, as in time of war. It is difficult to paint the fatal influence of this state of animosity, and the continual apprehensions of an approaching war, on the value of all kinds of Austrian paper currency. Confidence is so shaken, that no kind of paper is in request at this moment, whereas every body is eager to sell. No human power can restore credit shaken by general mistrust, till some changetake place in the actual state of things. STUTTGARD, SEPTEMBER 21. The Minister and Deputies forming the Com mercial Assembly at Darmstadt bare bad two sittings, in which the Bavarian Commissioners presided. Several proposals were made, on which long debates arose. At length it was agreed, Ist. To admit the establishment of one and the same system of Customs, which shall embrace the fron tiers of all the States of the Commercial Cottle-, deration, in the interior of which the most entire freedom of Commerce shall henceforth prevail. 2d. To leave trthe activity of the merchants the mea sures calculated to prevent smuggling and fraud.— The Assembly has adjourned for the present till the Members shall have received instructions from their Sovereigns. FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 27. The Austrian Observer continues to give ac counts from Naples, which present a deplorable picture of the state of that kingdom. Under the date of the sth of September, it is stated that anar chy and the dissolution of all the bonds of so ciety, daily make more progress. That, at the end of August, a conspiracy was reported to have been discovered, which the M►nister of Justice, Ricoardi, was said to have framed, to effect a counter-Re volution, by the aid of the Carbonari. The whole proved to be the fabrication of the head of a Lodge, who was a personal enemy to the Ministry. The C•arbonari were, however, three days and nights under aims, and the whole city was in confusion. In fact, all the Ministers have a difficult task; they are continually accused of a want of energy, and in daily peril of their lives. The state of the Provinces is equally alarming, and the accounts from Sicily of the most afflicting description. STOCKHOLM, SEPTEMBER 22. The British Ambassador, Lord Fitzgerald, had to day his audience of introduction, and was received by the King, in a public audience, in the most flat tering manner, and with all the honours due to his rank. After he had presented to his Majesty his nu merous suite, he rode through the streets of the city, according to the established custom, in a Royal carriage, irawn by eight horses. The Spanish Cortes have passed a law, permitting the return of those who had emigrated, on the over throw of the• Government of Joseph Bonaparte. The rights of citizens are granted to them, and they will enter upon the possession of the effects which they had at the epoch of their emigration. The Decree, declaring that D. Juan, Dias Porlier; and D. Lacy, had deserved well of their country, hasbeen published in a Supplement to The Madrid Gazette. Their names are to be inscribed in the Hall of the Cortes, and their widows to enjoy the incomes attached to their appointments. This provision is extended to the widows of all other Spaniards who have fallen in battle, or died in prison or exile, in the cause of the Constitution ; and in case of there being no surviving widows, but of their haying left families, the income of the father shall be continued to the male orphans for 25 years, and in default of widows and families, then it shall go to the fathers and mothers of the de ceased, if such there be. The Decree concludes with recommending, that those individuals who have un dergone persecution in the cause of liberty, shall be rewarded with employments and honours, propor tioned to their sufferings, their merit, and other par ticular circumstances. Admiral Don Cayetano Valdes, Governor of Cadiz, has been appointed Mi nister of War, and the Government of Cadiz has been given to Don Thomas O'Donoju, brother of General John O'Donoju, who is Captain General of Andalusia. r - • 1,1 ~ ~ ..S . zunothir4:z.;4l77** • • • CHRIST CHURCH Suattay.--Yesterdat email a respectable and very numerous Meeting of thil ht. habitants of the Parish of Chriit Church, Surrey, was held, to consider the propriety of attdresaing her Majesty. The Rector and Church-wardens beers; refused the use of the Church, though the Reims. sition was signed by 176 of the Inhabitants, the Meeting was held in the spacious premises of Mr. Line, patent-wheel-manufacturer, nearly opposite the Rev. Rowland Hill's Chapel. The Chair was taken by•Joitu CoArttatn, Esq: Mr. MiCaaaair said, he had prepared a series of Resolutions, which he intended to move as an amend ment, in order to try the spit it of the parish, (founded on the principles of Parliamentary Reform.) The Rev. Mr. KIDD observed, that no man could be more warmly attached than he was to the cause of Parliamentary Reform, but he was well aware of the danger resulting from blending subjects together which bad no earthly connection whatever. The ob ject of the present Meeting was solely to Address the Queen, and to that object he thought they were ri gidly bound to adhere. Let their efforts be united till the Queen was got triumphantly out of the con test, and then no man would be more ready than himself to vindicate the cause of the people. • After some discussion, the original Resolutions prepared by the Committee were read by the Clerk, and an Address of Condolence and Congratulation to the Queen was _agreed to. FAHRINODON WITHIN Marmno.—Yesterday a very numerous and most respectable part of the In habitants of the Ward of Farnngdon Within assem bled at the Queen's Arms Tavern, Newgate-street, to take into consideration the propriety of voting an Address to her Majesty, of Condolence and Con gratulation. Resolutions were put to the vote, and unanimously agreed to, expressive of the feelings of the Meeting respectin g treatment which her Ma jesty has received. The Resolutions were moved.by Mr. Cole, and seconded by Mr. Sharpe, both with much ability. The latter Gentleman then moved a loyal and dutiful Address to her Majesty, which was ably seconded by Mr. Herring. After Mr. Sur ridge, of Newgate-street, had addressed the Meet ing, the Address was agreed to unanimously, and a Deputation was appointed to wait on her Majesty to know when she will be graciously pleased to receive the same. It has been observed by a carpenter, that the Italian witness who saw her MAJZSTY and BZIWAMI through the door, at the inn at Trieste, must have bad a ~....., L! ' r ~", .+ice= .-- -. %. gimblet eye! An old newspaper, of the date of the trial of the Duchess of KINGSTON ' supplies us with the following remark :&—" It is a circumstance not known to any but lawyers, that there must be a majority of more than twelve, in the House of Lords, to convict a Peer or Peeress on any criminal accusation." Mr. CANNINO had arrived at Munich from Vienna, on his return to England, prior to the 26th ultimo. Yesterday morning a division of the 51st regiment of foot passed through the City-road on their march to Iskwerth, where the regiment is quartered. The populace shouted "TM Queers fee ever!" The chief body passed on without notidng them. Three of the soldiers, who were coming on the rear, passed through the toll-gate, near the Vinegar-yard ;on thei approach the toll-collector shinned "Long live Owen Care4se !" one of them tamed sound and exclaimed," /le Mined. ever l" at the same time striking the man with the butt-tad of be musket. The toll-man immediately returned the blow wish a birch-broom, which he held in his hand. The soldier was about extending his violence, but was prevailed on by his co,ns rides to desist. The crowd declined taking any part in the affray, and the soldiers, much to their credit, took away their comrade. Yesterday, the Duke and Duchess de CAzett gave a most splendid entertainment, at their seat at nu tow-on-the-Hill. Several marquees were erected on the lawn, where upwards of 200 covers were laid for , the young Gentlemen of Harrow School. At half past two o'clock, a most sumptuous dinner was served up, followed with an excellent dessert, and a mode rate quantity of choke wines. A band of music, sta tioned on the lawn, played 'several delightful airs during dinner. After the cloth was removed, sensible of the occasion upon which they were so hospitably and elegantly entertained, they gave the Duchess de Berri and the Duke de Bourdeaux's health, with three times three; and after drinking the health of King George the Fourth, they drani that of the Noble donors. Prince EITERHAZY, the , Duke de FRIAS, and a large party of distinguished Foreigners, were present, and seemed highly delighted. In the even ing, the Duke and Duchess entertained a large party of the Nobility and Gentry with a Dinner and a grand Ball. The exterior and interior of the house were brilliantly aluminised, and various fire-works were exhibited on the lawn. The whole presented a scene of striking magnificence.
