A man summoned to a Court of Ilnelish Junkmen bound to tell the truth, the whole truth. and nothing but 6e truth; and such, ho believed, every one thought be ought to do when he took the he in his han d. But Socchi was a bribed witness—a witness not but who voluntarily came forward to betray his Boyd and Mistress. The first apostate to Christianity and to human nature was not forsworn when he betrayed his Lord and Master, and yet be was loaded with the execradon of mankind.— Whenever he saw 1 witness come forward, and with the word of Goo to his lips, ready to betray GOD and man, he looked to the cause which could thus induce a man to become so abandoned !

They have had plenty of time, and no other employment; they were neither young in practice, ;or destitute of talent; and yet they had failed completely, so far as related to the charges at tnd the ether places he had mentioned. The Learned hen abided to a Turkish merchant, who always found a fide witness • surer guard than a true one, as he knew more cant phrases, and made the best evidence. Where did the Poet of Nature teed Mr. Denman) draw his best finished villains from, when he had occasion to blacken the character of an ineemnt wiF:—his lagas, hie lachimos?—from Italy ! In one of Shak espeare's Plays it was represented that a thousand dueats was given at Messina for the evidence of a person who was to swear away the honour of a Lady. Their Lordships might do well t refer to the character, as there developed : " Don Pedro—How now, two of my brother's men bound ! Caudle—Hearken to their offence, my Lord. Don Pedro—Officers what offence have these men done? Dogberey—Marry, Sir, they have committed false reports ; moreover, they have spoken untruths; secondarily, they are slanderers ; sixthly, and lastly, they have belied a Lady; thirdly, they have verified unjust things; and, to conclude, they are lying knaves "—(Laughing). And, my Lords (continued Mr. Denman), without meaning any thing personal, I say we find such witnesses in the last Act of the Comedy of Muth Ado about Nothing, which chews that Italy and Naples were the proper places to procure false testi mony.—The Learned Counsel then commented in`strong terms on the testimony of the Master and Mate of the polacca, who came there bribed witnesses, one receiving 1,000, and the slier 750 dollars a month ; and the Master, no doubt, felt that he would be most likely to get the 6,000 dollars he ex pected from the Princess, by giving testimony against her. He, next alluded to the journey from Syracuse to Jaffa, and denied that any of the charges alleged to have taken place there had been proved It had been said that rumours and reports had been circu lated against the Princess. He admitted ft—these were circulated by the spies about her Royal Highness, and eagerly caught at here, where they were made the basis of this prosecution. He denied that the facts stated to have taken place on board the polacet had been proved, and said that if truth was the only object of this enquiry, Hownam, Flynn, and the whole of the twenty-two sailors on board, should have been called. Lord LIVERPOOL suggested, that as the Learned Counsel must be nearly exhausted, he ought to have leave to retire. The LORD CHANCELLOR.—" Certainly! Mr. Denman, ask for whatever time you please, and if you wish to have un to-morrow morning, I should have no objection." Mr. Denman said, he would avail himself of their Lordships' offer for half an hour. After having been absent for 40 minutes, Mr. Domes resumed. He begged to call the attention et their Lordships to that period when her Royal Highness de termined on visiting the Archipelago, the Greek Islands, and the Holy Sepulchre. For this purpose her Majesty hired a polacca, slept in a tent on the land, and, though enduring great privations, lived in delightful familiarity with all those who accompanied her. The fact to which he was now going to anode, he knew might be stated so as to excite suspicion of guilt. For two days and a half of the journey, bdajocchl says, she reposed under the tent • the Countess of MI, lis:rganii, and the child Victorine, being under the same tent; and Majocchi, and some other of the domestics sleeping in an adjcining tent. How long they reposed that honest witness could not recollect; but Lieutenant Hownam stated, that her Royal Highness was often so fatigued, as scarcely to be able to dismount from the mule on which she rode. " Can there be one mural," said the Learned Counsel, " so uncha ritable, so uncaedid, or so unjust, as to look merely at the words as they are' stated, and not consider all the circum stances of the case; and if so, is there a man breathing who can lay his hand on his heart and declare that adultery was commit ted during that journey ? The Learned Counsel for the Bill had asked if the beds were regularly made? expecting, no doubt, that as much pains was taken with them as on a bridal night. But what was the fact, why, that there were no bed clothes, no li nen, and 'these parties recline there with no other al teration from their travelling dress, than one putting on a dressing gown, and the other a cloak. De Mont had appeared to state these facts strongly, but in her cross-examination it appeared that this encampment was attended with as mu.l innocence and as much purity as distinguished the 'best regulated establishments of the best regulated families. There was, he contended, no more reason to suppose that an illicit intercourse took place before the Princess went on board the polacca, than for any of their Lordships to suppose that It had taken place in their own families, since they left home, merely because the fact was not impossible. The Learned Gentleman said, that up to the time that her Royal Highness stepped on board the polacca, there had not been the slightest proof of guilt; and when their Lordships considered the evidence as to what had takes place on board, they would be compelled to deny thepos sibility not only that the crime with which her Royal High ness stood charged could have been committed there, but that the slightest impropriety could be ascribed to her. Was it pro bable that the victim of such a passion as that which her Royal highness had been accused of indulging, would have been led to abandon the lower part of the ship, in which she could have carried ern this criminal intercourse without chance of discovery, because the animals kept there were offensive to one of the senses? Was it prubable that she should leave that convenient spot for the deck, where she must have been exposed to the observation of the whole of the crew; and was she so totally infatuated as to invite the gaze of those, and to give herself up , to the grati fi cation of a vim passion at the very season she was suffering from fatigue and terror? But there did not exist an atom of testimony to prove that her Royal Highness and Bergami had slept under the same tent. The circumstance was only to be interred from Captain Hownam's statement, and it had been said by him, that this unprotected, but bravest of females, had chosen the deck for her convenience. The Learned Counsel (Mr. Darman) thee commented upon the evidence of Captain Flynn, who had, he said, unfortu nately laboured under the disadvantage of an overpowering respect for their Lordships, which rendered hint one of the most timid and nervous witnesses that ever appeared in a Court of Justice. After several compliments to Captain Flynn for the anxiety exhibited by him to clear rap all the difficulties that lay in the way of a perfect understanding of what had taken place on board the polacca, the Learned Counsel called upon their Lordships to adopt no middle course in deciding upon this case, to listen to no compromise between honour and shame. By a compromise, the mind would suffer greater tortures than could be inflicted upon the body by the judgment pronounced upon the highest crime. He would rather see his Royal Mistress upon her tried at the Bar, as Anne Boleyn had been, than the victim of an inglorious compromise !—he would rather see her ascend the scaffold, and lay her bare neck upon the block, than see her )eave these shores the object of scorn and pity ! He called upon their Lordships to treat this case as it would be treated at the Old Bailey by one of the Judges, who, if he did not desire the Jury to acquit their prisoner at once, would de serve to be impeached at that Bar. He (Mr. D.) called upon, and entreated them to consider, that the polluted evidence against the Queen was the evidence of discarded servants.— There bad been no example in the history of any Christian King, to which the present case bore any resemblance. In that of Imperial Rome there was one, which he should state. It was the only one in the annals of that or any other nation.— Octavia, the wife of Nero, became, almost the day after her marriage, the object of an unjust accusation. She was repu diated upon the evidence of false witnesses, and a conspiracy was formed against her, at the instance of a slave ; but, though many swore against her, the greatest number of witnesses were in favour of her conduct, and maintained her innocence. She was banished from Rome, but she returned, and her return was 1 " 11 """''''"" bailed by thousands. A second conspiracy was attempted, and Lieutenant HOWNAM, and some other witnesses, she was convicted and condemned. Sbe was banished to an island in the Mediterranean while all believed her innocent; and will probably be re-examined by the Lords : but the there her miseries terminated by poison or the dagger.

Swat had talked a great deal about his be ing a soldier and a gentleman : he had received the reward of his fidelity on the field of battle, and one of the first proofs be gave that he deserved it, was forward to betray his mistress. When the four persons of the Princess's suite left her,then the conspiracy against the Princess was formed in their hearts, and was sure to be carried into execution. There was, however, in the wont of natures some moments of compunction, and for tunately De Mont bad destroyed herself se a witness against the Princess, by one of the most cordial, sincere, and energetic panegyrics that could be pronounced, on her Royal Mis tress. While that document remained, it was impossible to believe one particle of the testimony which she had given at their Lordships' Bar. It was a happy circumstance for her Majesty, that De Mont had been called against her, since in her letter written to her sister, she had given a testi mony which invalidated every part of her evidence. The Learned Counsel continued to remark further on the evidence of De Moat: had she been put into the box and repeated the eulogy which her letter contained on the Princess, on the cha racter of any prisoner, it would have been sullicieut to procure the acquittal of the accused. Could any one now believe, that if the charge had been brought against the Princess two years ago, Du Moat would not have been the best and most valuable 'witness in favour of her Royal Highness? And here he was struck with the conviction of his Learned Friend's (Mr. Brougham's) remark—powerful and profound as it was--when be endea voured to spew to the House the prudence, and even neces sity of his exercising the discretion of an Advocate, so far as to dispense with calling the sister of De Mont, since there could have been as little reason two years ago to suspect the troth of De Mont the elder, as there was now to suspect that of her sister. He trusted, therefeqi, that this would be a sulkies* excuse with the House Ott DM calling bar, and that the Ingenuity of his Learned Friend& on the other side in &c -lowning for this abstinence on grenade prejudicial to his case would not have an effect en theirLordships' minds, and that they would more readily be beelined so adopt this apology, when they remembered that the Miftenrshy. unhandsome manner, In which Captain Flynn was led hue an involuntary, trifiirg sistency, ought to operate as a warning upon him (Mr. Denman), bow he.axposed to such an ordeal, a nervous, alarmed witness. It was now hia intention to pursue the examination of the other part of the evidence. It being now Fuer o'clock, the Earl of LIVIMPOOL moved the adjournment of the House. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

Mr. DENMAN commenced his recapitulation of the evidence for her MAJESTY, which occupied the re inainder of the day, and will be resumed again this morning. At an don and the Mi' Strand, , in a - bustle the Glass-wor As usual, every appearance `very favc TW' This morning the Loan Carancu.roa took his seat on the Woolsack at five minutes before ten o'clock. Prayers were read by the Bishop of Beisiroz. On the list of Peers bring read over, excuses were admitted for the Duke of Sr. Accent's, the Bari of throats, and Lord &Min; Counsel were called in at twenty minutes past ten o'clock. Mr. Dzawai then rose, and resumed the summing up of the Defeace.—" My Lords, in referring to the evidence which has been produced in support of this Bill, 1 am naturally brought to that individual whose natne forms so prominent a part in the charges that have been brought against her Majesty.— And certainly no person ever entered into any situation with better character, with a fairer claim to promotion, or better en titled to hope for access and advantage. Mr. Craven states, that the Marquis Guisjilleri treated lingual on a footing of equality, and recommended him to her Royal Highness as an ie. dividual who was deserving her confidence and patronage; disk he was of a respectable family, which had suffered in its for tunes during the French Revolution; that he had served in the Frost* army, where be was admitted to the society of person. of rank and distinction; but that now, in his humbled fort. he was compelled to accept of a situation below his rank, or his deserts. Sir W. Gel stated, that the Marquis Guisiglieri, se for from treating him ai a menial, or one of mean origin, saluted him in the manner in which the Nobility salute persons of eclat rank ; and the French Colonel Oliviera, who knew him at Go neial speaks of him in the highest terms. lam oak my Lords. defending Bergami, nor is it necessary that I should do so; but I cannot advert to the manner in which he was introduced to her Royal Highness, without declaring my firth conviction that he was a person worthy of patronage. Bergami entered the service of the Princess in the year 1814 6 and in the following year be was promoted from the situation at a courier to that of a page. I may here observe, that a courier to a Royal Personage, though wearing a peculiar dress, is not to be considered as an ordinary livery servant. In the course of that year, I believe, he became her Royal Highness's Chain- . berlain. I will admit that it was desirable that her Majesty should place in that situation a person of high rank, but we must oonsidex the circumstances in which her Royal Ilighleis was placed, and what hope had she that any young Nobleessit would enter her service when likely to incur the displeasure the Court at home ? At this time, Mr. Craven had left her Royal Highness, can account of a domestic misfortune, and Sir William Cell bad also left her, on account of his health. I therefore do not know that the Princess could hays dome better than binding a man of booms and Maley to bar service, by coo. faring on him these Aces and those honours which it it the privileges of Royalty to bestrew. And when a Royal Personage does confer rank ant! honours on an individual, he who is thus distinguished becomes what • Royalty chooses to make him. I do not blame Captain Pasha for refusing to' sit down at the table with a mu who had waited behind his chair ; but no individual would degrade himself by yielding re spect to those whom royalty delighteth to honour. Mr. &card says, he considered it necessary that the Prince,' should have a guard near her person ; and that at Naples, he placed Ber.. gami in the cabinet, near the garden, without the know ledge or participatioa of her Royal Highness, and with out any interference en the pert of Bargain!, who thus dis charged a most important service to her Royal Highness; for no one can doubt that the Princess was surrounded with spies from the_ moment she quitted this country; and when Bergami had faithfully discharged the important duty of guarding . her Royal person, was k not natural that on Sicard quitting her Royal Highness, she should prefer him to the offices of Page, and, Master of the Household ? Sicard left her Royal 'nehmen, because his pecuniary affairs required that he should come to England, and Bergami was then promoted to his situation ; for let it never be forgotten, that we are speaking of a man sf good manners, who might be received into the Sat society, and who never betrayed meanness nor servility, althosigh his fallen fortunes, had doomed him for a short period to serve in a very bumble capacity. It was natural to sup pose that the other persons in the service of her Majesty should have been indisposed to speak, with kindness of one whose merits had raised him so much above them in the esti. manors of his mistress. The %try circumstance of his having discharged his duty with seal and fidelity was sufficient to excite against him the evil thoughts of those whose ambition received a check in its Right from their unworthiness. Whom, be would ask their Lordships, could her Majesty have promoted with so much propriety ? But it appeared that the virtuous feelings of this Illustrious but unfortunate Lady were all to be turned into crimes. Amongst other causes of censure, was her Ambles, for young children ! In Genoa, the infant Victorine was threw* in her way, and the felt for it the affection of a mother, ter are pawed that it was without a protector. There bad bee* is trauma to the connury. At the former period of penult. don, a similar circumstance had taken place. It was then a charge. which demanded investigation, for the succession was con: cerned ; but now that no danger of that description could be apprehended, it was thrown in as a supplement to the other proofs, which were dwelt upon as evklence of a gross and cri minal appetite. If Berpmi was promoted to the dtuadon of chandrrlain by his Royal Mistress, was it a proof of guilt that he was publicly declared to be so, that he should appear in the proper rank and introduced to her Majesty's visitors as person filling a situation to which his talents and fidelity entitlid him? What would have been said if be had skulked Into the kitchen? Would it Lot have been hinted that then, indeed, he was kept for the gratification of a criminal passion ? What if, when on board the Leviathan, his situation had been concealed from Captain, Brings; what if, when upon going en board the 'same ship afterwards, his Royal Mistress had deposed him from her table from the apprehension of being seen by Captain Bothell in a station to which he had before been elevated ?

HOUSE OF LORDS. THE QUEEN. As we expected, the LORD CHANCELLOR and the }louse of Peers decided yesterday against the unreason- able request made on the preceding evening, to delay the Proceedings for a fortnight, that Colonel BROWN should have an opportunity of removing the impu tations cast upon him by the evidence for the De fence; as if, forsooth, the Colonel were on his trial, and not the QUEEN of ENGLAND !—as if, in one word, any person could care one farthing about such an individual, where so much greater interests were involved. Do not be in such haste, Mr. Ai-roar/Rs.- GENERAL. It is more than probable that an oppor tunjty will ere long be afforded you to defend Colonel BRowN—aye, and some others besides that imma culate individual—if it be in-your power to make out a good defence for him. Captain BRIGGS was re-examined yesterday re specting the conversation alleged to have passed be tween him - and Lieutenant Hoinsms about five years ago. It is not easy to conceive that -either of these Gentlemen could willingly have spoken falsehood.— It is, however , no part of our office to reconcile was said that be bad beta leaded with Maim ! But thei r Lordships wield reeeileet that hem &maks way not like these which were inesessed by the hawse Renamed. )-.-they was perchasesble by a few hundred fines ; and, in that fienetrin where they were to easy of attainment, they were ati. sedately necessary as as apposes, to a situation of such primes as that to which Bergami had been raised. Indeed, the bemoan of rank were, In Italy, considered of arch consequence in every respectable employment, that many persons in this country had naked laws from thence, in which they were addressed as Lords, without having any other claims to the title than their worth as Ovate individuals. Mr. Vitard, the amiable &Acker foe the Queen, had recently received a letter from that country which ailed upon him to take lodgings for a family as near as possible ti his Z.rdship's Palace !--(d lesiio).—There was aturther crime • with which her Majesty was charged, to which he thought It necessary to call their Lordships' satanic,* the butoduetke of Bengali's relations to the service of her Majesty. Could anything be more natural in a dependent than to serve - his own family? It bad net appeared that her Ma jesty ,knew of the relationship, but certainly he was doir.g ao more than his duty, although by dant so, he raised a prejudice against himself and his mistress in the beans of those who were discarded. From the period of their arrival at Naples and their going en board the polecat, he officiated as Chamberlain, and without disguise; and was it not rather too much, from that ciretunstance, to infer the consequence stated in the preamble of the Bill? The Learned Counsel then referred to the evidence of Majocchi, as to irk end taken place on board the polacca, and repeated the evidence in contradiction to the maims statement of that witness, who said he had heard the Princess and Berland together under the tent, while istwas lying on a sofa in the Cabin below. This abandoned wretch, he said, introduced what he heard as a parallel to what be had seen, when be was half asleep, and must, if be bad laic on a sofa at the time, have gone into another cabin, and taken a sofa and brought it to that which was under the tent where the Queen lay, for the purpose of lying upon it, to hear what was going forward between her and Berpani. The evidence of Pacuno—of Captain Flynn—and of Lieutenant Hownam, gave the lie direct to this abominable fabrication. It was too much to infer, from the mere circumstance of Res ealed having been seen handing her Royal Highness down from the deck to the cable below, on the occasion of the squall which occurred during the night, that be mast have slept under the teat with the Princess. The whole of Mr, Ifewnattee belief on this subject was founded on mere hearsays, — which were as applicable to other persons of her Royal Highness's suite as to Demand. What was more natural or likely thaa that when the weather was fair, some of the female attendants of her Royal Highness should rennin with bel vhder tit, tent; and, on the contrary, when the weather became rough and squally, or when there was an alarm of ;intern, that she should be rather attended.by some of the male persons of her esta. blislunent ? It had been asked, whether Lieutenants Flynn or Hownam could not have pertained this duty as well ? Hownam, when a lissuelenseelles effect was put to Itim,had said, most properly, that he trusted they would. Bet Mr. Blownam and Mr. Flynn had other duties to perform on such occasions, In the case of a squall, they must have been employed in attending to the ship, and giving that aid of superior 'sea manship, which English sailors possess in so superior a degree beyond the sailors of any other nation in the worl4. It was necessary that the persons in attendance on the Princes* should not be their who were subject to be called away, but each as could be.eonstantly in waiting on. her Royal Highness. and hive nothing else to do but to attend to her promo:ton and comfort. It was in evidence, moreover, that during tbn Ingle of the voyage homewards, her Royal Highness balk ewer once undressed herself at night, bet had reposed, iq clothes- which she wore daring the day ; and even admit. ring the possibility that some male person might base also oak dorsally dent in his clothes on the bedstead, which steed at right angles with the oafs on which the Princess reclined; was the fact of criminal menection, the only inference that a reasonable, candid, and gaseous mind could draw from such an accidents; perhaps unavoidable positlim of the parties? Hat the fact was, that there was nothing in the whole evideaccooasoddog but the belief of Lieutenant Hownam, which was no evidence m negative the presumption that Bergand had slept, on the voyage home, in the same place where he had slept en the voyage res— namely, in the dining-room. A great deal had been said about the bath scene; but nothing could be conceived mart, absurd and ridiculous then the preaches on which the C 01141;: don of guilt here rested. A, Lady, of ea, saes on board of a polaeca in the Mediterranean sea, is in need of a bath; she chooses to have it in a small cabin, which, it bad been demi proved could not contain the macldne she was to bathe in; ant, because, forsooth, Beeped ordered a female servant to eau! in linen to her Royal . - Mistress to dry with, therefore was 4 established beyond all doubt, that her Royal Highness nine have enjoyed the bath, in the presence of Beeped, in the small cabin, where it could not be enjoyed at all ! The Learned Gentleman ferred to those parts of the evidence of Patens and Gargano, which proved the dimensions of the cabin, and the lemmedbility of its containing the bathing tub the Princess was in the custom of using, The whole Oche bath story rested, in shalom the evi dence of Idajoecbi and De. Meat, and it was of a piece with the whole of the evidence of these persons—a piece of invention as absurd as it was incredible. The Learned Gentleman begged now to direct their attention W the neat case of inference which the Attorney-General bad stated in his opening, namely, that when Saedai arrived in the aggin.time with a dispatch from Ge neral Pinta, he saw Bement' coming, as the Attorney-General had _affirmed, out of the room of her Royal Highnesses-- Without saying anything at present as to the credibility of this witness; he would ask., bow was the statement of the Attorney- General borne out by the evidence of Sacchi ? He does not state that he saw Berpasianning out of the room of her Royal Highness; be saw bin coming out of a room, but he neither knows who occupied that room, nor the rooms beyond it; and, what is more important, he does not even know where the room was situate which was occupied by her Royal Highness. A. Stead kad thus tatty negatived the allegatio. , there an, of crone, nothing in his evidence CO this point to corroborate; but k might not be amiss to observe, that if there bad been anything to cordlna, anther of the two servants of Remand, uric h whom &cad connatmkated on that occasion, had been called. The mention of this minion led the Learned Gentleman to observe that it might be worth while to make a catalogue of the cases, dhdnguisking those which were supported only by one witness, these which were supported by soveral witnesses, and those which were supported by no evidence at all. There were in all sixteen overt acts alleged in the opening of the At tar:my-General, of the lint three of which Naples was the scene— namely, the first, or bridal night; the snaked ball at the Theatre of St. Carlos; Ind the meeting on the Corridor, depended on the evident* of Mademoiselle De Most alone.— Then there were the two occurrences at Varresse and Lugano; neither of these bad been attempted to be supported by any evi dence whatever The ease of Catania depended on De Moot alone ; that of Taman, on the evidence of 'Nobody ! The incident at Ephesus had been attempted to be proved by blaiocchi alone ; and all that he mated was cotairlicted by several unimpach- F I ~ S, Cj ►'l
