He had, he said, hoped, that he should not have been called upon to state his opinion upon this painful subject; but their Lordships having ordered the attendance of all, he felt bound to mention the grounds on which he should give his vote. The duty he had to perform was eft' a judicial nature, and he had no wish and no hope to influence the opinions of others. lie was bound to say that after a long examination of all the evidence, that the strongest judicial proof of guilt had been established, that an adulterous intercourse had been much too sufficiently proved—(Hear).— The Noble Lord took a minute ourvey of the evidence, and de clared, that dpon weighing the whole, he had no doubt what ever en Ms patt, that an adulterous intercourse h 4 subsisted between her Majesty aod Bergami. It gave him deep pain to pronounce this opinion, but his conscience dictated no other. And he would say, that if theft. Lordship's should come to the conclusion that there had not'been a sufficient legal presump tion of guilt established in this case, they must then determiee that in no future instance would any tribunal in the country be justified in holding an adulterous intercourse proved, except by ocular testimony—a specks of •proof impossible to he liad in ninety-nine out of an hundred of the most undisputed cases of adultery. The expediency of the measure was undoubtedly to be Litton into account, and beknew no stage of the pro ceeding in which it ought to be more considered than the present. He had given the subject the greatest consideration, and the result was, that he saw no other Parliamentary mode of vhitieg such.gailt as that which bad been proved, excePt_tirst present !Mid Pains and Penalties. He had heard much Of tie popular feeling on the subject ;?but, amid all the mischiefs with which the State was threatened, he saw none greater than what would result, from a sudden asiA abrupt' termination of the pre, sent proceeding, instead of going through with it to a just and satisfactory conatision: The Earl of ROSSLYN rose amid loud alts for the Quer tion. The ciliation of his Noble Friend who- had'jnst spoken was, undoubtedly, entitled to great weight; and it was next PO ' .mpossible it should not have great weight on the votes of their Lordships. Ile (the Earl of Roselyn) could hot, for one, how ever, assent either to the conclusion to which his Lordship had come, or to the arguments by which it was supported.— Ot the alleged familiarities with the courier Bergami, of which the Queen had teen accused, not a single act was proved on evidence worthy of credit. When he saw agents employed to corrupt eviniesse, and rewards held out in prupoition to the In: ce of the charges made, must he not Kok at sued evidence with great suspicion ? The greatest pGrtiu:: of the charges had been abandoned by the advocates for the prosecution, and yet they clung to evidence which they acknowledged to be suspected.— The polacca charge, to which so much impoitance had been at tached, at the utmost, only amounted to suspicion, and some very unfair inferencei had been drawn from it. The circumstance of Dilni-gers permitting the Princess to live three years abroad, after they had become acquainted with her conduct, aiipeared as if they connived at it. The Bill,was not thought expedient when the scandal - was fresh, nor when the Pr iacess lived three years in Italy ; its expediency only commenced on. her arrival in this , conntry. Their Lordships had been told that they might alter the preamble in the Committee, but unless their Lordships be lieved every tittle of the preamble proved, they could not vote ' for the second reading. The Noble Lord than animadverted in strong terms on the conduct of the prosecutors of the Bill and of the ,!Clan Commission, who, it' truth had been the sole ob ject, would have called those respectable witnesses who were best acquainted with the conduct of the Princess. If this Bill was to be carried as a measure of state expediency, it was to put down public opinion. The Public had judged of the evidence, and would judge of the conduct of their Lordships : they would also look at the prosecutors; they would see that many of theft Lord ships who were acting us Jurors, were the prosecutors. Their Lord:hipe ought to be anxious to maintain unimpeached the cha racter of that Utilise, and not to Weaken the public confluence in their decision. If the divorce clause was thrown otit,land the degradation of the Queen persevered in, then might sit. be loaded with the more odious epithets, and yet she, by such a declsion, was still declared to bt good enough tn. be the wife of the Ling. Such a proceeding would be mimic tii the King. Notwithitaading the public ..pinion, and the probability if the House of Commons rejecting the Lill, he must ectice the-bare ship of the Queen, in being subjected to this troublesome trial, under such manifest disadvantages, and which were a strong ag gravation of the hardthips to which she was subjected; and, where so general, and eager a sentiment of affection for her per vaded throughout the country, was not such a Measure calcu lated to give a wrong bias to public feeling, and a dangerous in. tive to popular disaffection?.--(Hear, hear, hear ! ) [The Noble Lord had scarcely finisheil speaking wkda a load cry was r i ejsed of `, Ilitktlrtne, tri:ltdraw"--" Question, /Unhurt:* which lasteifor several mieuies.l Lord HOLLAND rose and said, be did not think there etas any necessity of strangers withdrawing at the present nomotA. because Npble Lords were pleased to call for. the %%lido ; Tar if he riehtly uedirstood their Lordships regulation peal; g a d, the course would be, first of all, that cacti 10117461 Pee; would be calk:el on noneby o t t r c ot o u nte th n e t,r ar tabl t e ec wtorith the Chao_enounces t opinion of" Content," or I cellor will declare the numbers, and if any Peer then called f r a division, of course strangers would withdraw.
