To what disgrace and opprobrium has not the kingdom bass exposed by the machinations employed to degrade the fballit, of ENGLAND ! Hear how, in consequence of this trial, the Americans presidia te'Veat of our gracious Sovnamen. One American paper, the Kiatiewd 44deecale, writing on thlrmbjeet, says t--" The tosal absence of every virtuous and honourable quality in the Kula, makes them [the people of England] indif ferent as to her [the Qum's) continence. His Maaxarr sun obtain witnesses from Milan to impeach a saint, aye, and dog cheap; he can find men who will swear to anything, sign any thing, for a rid pro psi : how Jobn Bull will swallow such tes timony, reusable M be seen. The people of this country will look upon these events with curiosity, but with no great inte rest—happy in having no Kings to get rid of by impeach ment or otherwise; or to vitiate public morals by their base examples." Another American Paper, The Cdowobion, ob serves:—" Aftes all said, the very discussion of the subject among millions of people, the nature of the charges against her, and degree of testimony agitated among all ages, sexes, and conditions, are not among the least of the miseries of Royalty. Every child will not only know, but have the charges explained to their satisfaction, and thus be early initiated in the arena of vice." The New York Evening Pod remarks, that " the majority in the House of Peers against her proves too plainly that the lolluence of the Kuso predominates, and nothing but the People will awe the Ministry, together with the House of Lords and Commons, and prevent the violations of Law and Justice." Here we have the Americans, a people without religious establishments, congratulating themselves on their being secure from the moral contagion to which the Church of this country, by its measures against the gouts has been so instrumental in exposing its flocks ! The natior.s of the Continent share the alarm of all consi derate 'people among ourselves, and look to the English Govern mortise the great corrupters of European society. It would ap pear from the following extract from a recent publication of M. Jay," On the Politital State of Europe," that considerable blame is attached to the French Censors, for allowing, in deference, no doubt, to parties/or instructions, the publicatien of these disgrace ful proceedings. " They have seized:* says the writer, " a solemn occasion, the ignominious proceedings against th e Quest of England, to give us the most satisfactory proof that their funo tious were neither useful to public virtue, nor to prima morals, and that they were only inspired by the intolerant aid bind spirit of party.

The Correspondence between his Majesty's Go vernment and her Majesty's Counsel and Agents, on the subject of pecuniary supplies to her Majesty, since her Majesty's art ival in England in June last, aud also an account of all sums of money paid to her Majesty since her arrival in England, has been printed by order of the House of Lords. It com mences with a letter from Mr. Vizard, her Majesty's Solicitor, to the Earl of Liverpool, dated Lincoln's inn-fields, July 1, 1820, enclosing a letter from her Majesty to his Lordship, applying for an advance of money, to defray the necessary legal expenses of her Majesty's defence, including those of bringing over her Majesty's witnesses. The sum required was £2,500 to cover charges from the death of his late Majesty, £2,500 for future current expenses here, and £5,000 towards the expense of the mission to Italy to collect witnesses. Mr. Maule, the Solicitor of the Treasury, on the 10th of July advised that the particulars of all sums of money paid to or on ac count of the charges and expenses of the agent to be sent to Italy, including his lois of time and-sroolale, should be furnished by Mr. Vizard. Mr. Vizard an swered, that the detail required could not be granted, without injury to her Majesty's cause, until after the termination of the present proceedings. After some further correspondence, a Treasury order for the £lO,OOO was issued on the 18th July, payable to Mr. Wizard and received by him, of which £4,200 was paid to Mr. Henry, her Majesty's agent in.ltaly..

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1820. THE QUEEN. What a different aspect do the proceedings in the Trial of our gracious QuezN exhibit, now that the evidence for the defence is going on, from what they did when the foul-mouthed Italian and German wretches were called to pour forth their vile slanders and perjuries?—when such infinite pains were used to bring from their lips fabricated tales of the veriest filth, that ever fouled the ears of the Public ? Is .there a - man or woman in the Empire, capable of judging between right and wrong, who now believes a single iota of the calumnies which were so Indus triously propagated and circulated, before and during the examination of the wretches who were brought forward to defame her MAJESTY? No, not one. We repeat our assertion: there is not a man or woman in Great Britain or Ireland wh 3 does not believe her MAJESTY perfectly innocent of the charges brought against her, not excepting even her MA- JESTYS most inveterate enemies. We mean not to say that there are none who will still continue to assert that they are convinced the charges were well founded. There are such men. Those who batched the lies—those who planned the conspiracy to ruin an innocent woman !—that woman a QUEEN !--rhat Quests, the daughter of one Duke of BRUNSWICK, the sister of another, and aunt of a third !—that QUEEN the niece of our late beloved and venerable Monarch—the Queen Consort of GEORGE IV.—THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND !—Those men who contrived the plot, and fabricated the calum nious falsehoods, may and will continue to shake the head, to shrug the shoulders, to grin and look knowing, to insinuate and assert to be true what they have known from the beginning to be " false as hell !" but they will no longer be able to abuse thi credulity of any person on the face of the earth : no, nor will the high rank of the highest among them, be able, by any means, to skreen them from the con tempt,and execration of mankind, for the part they may have taken in these vile attempts. The proceedings of yesterday will be' read peculiar interest by every friend to morality rind virtue: nor wilt the conduct of the See of Rome, towards our beloved and persecuted QUEEN, escape the just indignation of the . People of England. The time has been when a much smaller insult than that of degrading a QUEEN of ENGLAND, by withholding from her any of her legitimate titles, would have carried the thunders of the British Navy to the shores of the aggressors. Shall a congregation of Priests, or shall the Agents of such a rabble as for ages dared to place their feet on the necks of Kings, presume, in these days, to renew their practices?— and make the experiment too upon the QUEEN of GEORGE IV. and no notice be taken of it ! We think this impossible, notwithstanding the many strange things we have seen in our day—even though the instigator may have been a Hanoverian Ambas sador, and though this Ambassador may have re ceived his instructions from the very individuals who have been most active in bringing forward the pro T sent proceedings against her MAJESTY. But we Too bear, in' the hope that those to whom we have last alluded, will be amongst the foremost to procure paration to ber MAJESTY for the degrading insuk ottered to this tuition in her sacred person. 'conNiction cannot but Loh on the mind of vary k ♦ • • k` '; .7 1,1,4 • • ' Imlay CdAR • Mr. Karma, dun every part neither =ore nor less diabolical fabrication. As to oacGtin, whose elevation in the service of her MAnsrit was made one of the corner stones of the superstructure of calumny, it was most satisfactorily accounted for *by • Mr. CRAVEN and Sir WILLIAM. BERGAMI is a man of family, though in reduced cir cumstaeces, and was highly esteemed by the NobleH man who recommended him, and was, even while officiating as a courier, recognised by him in the ipen•streets as one of his particular friends; and let it be remembered, that this benefactor was his old master;ond no less a person than the Austrian Minis ter at Milan. " The evidence of Lady CHALOTTE LINDSAY de serves particular intention. She bad never been able 'to discover any improprieties in her MAJESTY'S con duct, though living constantly with her, and under the same roof ! "No-;—they were fabricated out of t iiiors;ind irculated witbsuch industry as to alarm 16111011lio )ad female relatives in her MAJESTY'S I 'mice. The attempt to wring from this Lady her oath to negatives, bad only the effect to establish more .firmly her unbiassed positive testimony to the invariable upright and correct conduct of her Ma alum, Every assertion of Majocchi and De Mont, respecting the masked ball at Naples—her MAJESTY'S early return from the Opera—her agitation of spirits, are disproved by the positive testimony of Mr. Ksr- Pty and Sir WILLIAM Gar-L. Host much the KING must be gratified, to find that all the foul imputations cast upon the blood of his Family—upon his own Royal Consort—ate most infamous slanders, can be judged by every hOnour able mind: but what must be his NiAJILITY'S indig • nation against those who could presume to abuse his Royal ear with such foul forgeries as even to endan• ger the safety of the Throne and the peace of the Kingdom, by the measures which it was deemed ne cessary to employ for the clearing of the character of her MAJESTY from calumnies plotted, contrived, and hatched up by the enemies of the Quest; I—by `the enemies of his MAJESTY ! !—the enemies of the Country!!! It will be seen from the subjoiped proceedings of this day, that the evidence in favour of her MA- JasTY—may we not say against her enemies, who are now as much upon their trial as the Qutas, though they may try to persuade themselves to the contrary—ikis conclusive as that of yesterday : 'FIFTH DAY OF THE DEFENCE. • HOUSE OF LORDS. The House met this morning at the usual hour. The LOllllll CIIANCLIaI took his seat on the Woolsack at five minutes be- fore ten o'clock. Prayers were read by the Bishop of l'ness.. sissorroz. The list was then called over, when some excuses on account of indisposition were admitted; among whom were the Duke of Yoax and Lord Genre's. The Marquis of LANSDOWN moved, that an interpreter be called in to Verify the correctness of the translation of the letter of M. MariettL The lilarquis de Spinet/41hr Interpreter for the prosecution. and Mr. Cohen, the Interpreter for the Qneen, being called in aid sworn, said that the translations were correct. Counsel were then called in. The Earl of LIVERPOOL had wished that Lady Charlotte Lindsay should attend with the letter written by her brother; but, perhaps, as a relief to the Lady, the Queen's Counsel could give the House the necessary information. Mr. Bsotionasi said Lady CEIMILLOTTS LINDSAY was not at present in the House. William earrbigton was then called in, and being sworn, was • • examined by* Dr. Lusnocorrec.' What situation do you now hold ?—I am Sir W. Gell's valet. Ito* long have you been as that situation?—Nine years. Whit Situation were you in before you became Sir William Gell's valet ?—ln the Navy.

The frras:sassys-Gesza4 objected to the question; as ro conversation that passed betipeen the witness and Majocchi re specting Ompted.', could be evidence. lie conceived it 'cou!d not be put in order to contradict the testimony of Majocchi, for it was a point no which Majocchi had never been examined. The Sotterroa-Gasecat supported the objection. If ,he object of putting this question was to contradict the evidence of Majocchi, the Learned Counsel on the opposite side should state what part of it they intended to impeach ; but in the ex amination of Majocchi there did not appear any questions on this point.' The) , could not examine a witness as to a collateral enquiry to impeach another witness, when that witness could not afterwards appear. Dr. Lusunurrou contended warml y for the question. He denied that because lajoccbi had not been examined as to what he had said respecting Outptedat• that another witness might not be examined torn it. He was sure that their Lord ships would agree with him, when be said that no question was irrelevant or unimportant, which tended to skew that Onrpteda acted as a spy—suborned witnesses—picked locks, and broke the most sacred ties of society, to impeich and ruin the cha racter of the Queen--of the wife of the Sovereign whom he then served. The conduct of the Queen was at issue, and it was not only dueto her Majesty but the duty of her Counsel to show the means that had been resorted to to injure her elptracter and to bolster up charges against her. Lord RED ESDALII objected to the course of argument pur sued by the Learned Gentleman, and moved that Counsel should be ordered to witbdraw.--Cotutsel withdraw►. Earl GREY thought that the Learned Omuta was not ex ceeding the bounds of his duty to his client. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was the pest time in his life that be had ever heard it proposed to prove the acts of a third person by a conversation between two other per sons. I Majoechi had been asked whether be had had any conversation with the witness Carrington respecting arson Ompteda, it would certainly have been relevant to examine Oarrington as to his recollection of what pissed between them ; but no such question had been put to blajocchL Lord LAUDERDALE begged to refer their Lordships to pages 63 and 75 of the evidence. • Lord ERSKINE rose to speak to order, and was proceed ing, when Lord LAUDERDALE said, that kis -Noble and Learned Friend would not, perhaps, think him oat of order when Is thew on what. Account he referred to the evidence. He was of opitna that the question could be put-r-(4 Re wished to save her Majesty's Coursed the trouble of doing that by argument, which was already doss by evidence. In the pages of the evidence to which his Lordship hadrefiumed, it would be seen that Majocciti was examined as to tit burned intrigues of Baron Ompteda, and asked particuhrly whether there was any talk among the household of the Princess respect.. log the Baron. , . Dr. LUSlfssirrox Seintmed.---When stopped by that Lord._ • ships in the course of MitAnent he was pursuing, it was. not bit intention to offer, nor bad be any conception that he could, by possibility, make the declaration of Majoecid evidence of the acts of Baron Ornpteda. He must Contend, however, that the con duct of Ompteda was of importance to the elucidation of the truth of the case; that it was not a collateral issue, but an essential point, deserving of the most serious investigation. If in a sub-, sequent part of the evidence, her Majesty's Counsel should be able to demonstrate that plots against her Majesty had ' been concerted, had been carried into execution, and bad been detected, the evidence would afford a complete ern planation of the conduct of her Royal . Highness, and free if from all those injurious, imputations a. which it had been malignantly subjected. It would skew, for instance, why her Majesty bad, in react times, been under_ the necessity of having always a person to sleep near her, on whose fidelity she could fully depend. It was to elicit this fact that Majocchi had been asked what he knew of Baron Ompteda, and of the plot in which• he had been engaged. biajocchi had been pleased to deny the least knowledge of the existence of any such plot, and certainly it was open to her Majesty's Coonse I to show, by counter-testimony, that Majocchi did know of it, and was in the constant habit of speaking about it. To every ques tion on the subject of the Baron Ompteda, Majors:hi had an swered •by a " son en ricordo;" he did not even remember the name of the Baron, it was. so extraordinary or unusual— , Was it not then competent to her Majesty's Counsel to spew that all this was false testimony ? Were they not entitled to remove any impression to disbelief as to the plot which the dui nigh of Majnodd might by possibility base created in &tie Lordships' Minds? And bow could this be better done than by 'hewing out of the month of the witness at the bar, that Ma jocebi was in the consume. habit of speaking of Baron dmpteda ; . that his name mad bk-intrigues were equally turdliar to hfm ; that be used to boast of his own courage and salary, mons, that if.he dorSt i die could " kill him like a dog." Were these things of no importessoi to 'be prokedr Were her Majesty's - Counsel not sodded to .do away the effect of this man's per jury-to prove that he was perjured? The only objection which he conceived might reasonably be made to their proving so was, that it was a work of espererogadon to attempt to detract from credit which no longer existed. Mr. lisononan followed on the same side, and pointed out to their Lordships attention some parts of Majocchrs evidence not referred to by Dr. Lushington, 'hewing more clearly the relevancy of thabsquiry in which his Learned Friend had been interrupted. He thought it strange, that whenever any question was put shoot this Baron Ompteda, his Majesty's Counsel should invariably oppose it with all their might, per fas mat arias. The Assoastav-Griot. replied. He animadverted in warm terms on the style of argument invariably pursued by the Learned Gentlemen on the opposite side. They had no right to say that she credit of biajocchi was completely destroyed; that still remained to be 'hewn by the course of the case, In the Courts below such a course of examination could never be permitted, for it was a well-kiovrn established principle that a "motion must be previously put to the witness whom evidence en matins wee mad, to destroy, before another witness 'mild be examined as to any conversatiou, and for the best of reasons, that anopportunity might be afforded if explaining all the cis minuteness of that conversation. Ali he could say was, that no evidence at all had been given relative to Baron Ompteda in the case for the 8111, and *ordure the Learned Counsel had no right to examine °What subject.
