He did not know how any one, looking at the - evidence, could think otherwise. Three of the most prominent witnesses were aewell omitted to credit as 'any that ever appeared in a i Court of nustice. liergami laying on the bed in the day-time j with the tent closed e was a strong proof of guilt indeed; for 1 what other purpose but that of an improper inteecourse could it heso closed? After paying - the utmost attention to this dial duringehe-whole time,' he could not but feel satisfied as to the guilt of . the Queen. He wished he could have come to a con 'teary decision e btit, in his conscience, he could not.' He wished . thete had beealmore evidence, or less then had been produced. He wished that a selection had been made. ale was a member of the Secret Committee : lie then felt there was ground for this •proeecutiott ; and, now that forty or .fifty days had been spent in the enquiry, his opinion remained. still unchanged. Matfy things had been brought forward quite irrelevant ; instead of trying the accused 'person, four or filfetays had been occu • ed in trying the Milan Commission ; and yet nothing against the character and conduct of that Commission had been proved. Hewished that some of the witnesses had mot been brought for- It had been laid that the Public had decided this ques tion ; but he certainly did not attach much importance to that , opinion, as it had been declared before the Queen's Trial briar. Front the moment her Majesty landedin this country, Addresses bad followed each other declaring her to he perfectly innocent. Their. Lordships had been told, that if they gave a verdict agairet the Queen, it would be without effect; but, if they were to be intimidated by such a threat, they would be unworthy the seats they held as Peers of the realm. The Noble Lord then noticed the allusions that had been been made by Counsel as to a parallel ''caseto the present, and entered into a long eulogium in praise of his present Majesty; who had immortalised his name, and the age in which he lived, by the success which Lad at • tended the period in which he had swayed the British sceptre. Berl GREY.—" My 'Lords, it is with some degree of reluc- tance tlfat I rise at the present moment, as I was anxious to hear the arguments of the Noble Lords opposite in favour of this Bill of 'Pains and Penalt.es. But, my Lords the attention I 'have raid to this subject has so far exhau,red me, that Were I ichiger ro delay addressing yntir Lordships, I fear I could not dolt with hey degree of jostiee to the cause, or satisfaction to myeelf. I will therefore now state the reasons why I shall vote against the, second reading of the Bill. Some complaint has been made as to the observations of the Counsel; but, if anything has fallen froth the Learned Counsel improper fon them to utter or your Lordships to hear; if they have used inflammatory Language; or - exceeded that duty which loyalty to llitir Sovereign demanded, your Lordships ought not to have sat Yere anti allowed theni to proceed in that line of conduct.— Ir is not my duty to defend the Counsel, and, therefore, I will nol folloW the conduct of the Noble Lord (Redesdale), who has represented the conduct of the Counsel in a way I am sorry to bear, and which I should be still more so to hear repeated. The same Noble Lord had complained, that the Learned Lord on the Woolsack had not made that luminous and judicial speech which he expected, and which no man was more able to make. I should have wished, for my own information, that the Noble Lord had taken that comprehensive view of the subject,. but I must state that no such duty was imposed opon him. He is— otot as the Noble Lnrd seemed to think he is—the presiding lodge to instinct the Jury, but he is a Peer—a Juror on this trial, and has a right to give his opinion ; but not like the Judges in the Courts below, to sum up for the instruction of the Jury. This explanation le due to the Noble Lord on the Woolsack, who itated.that he gm* his opinion as a legislator, not as a judge. I will now, my Lords, proceed to consider this great question with all the calmness, judgment, and impartiality I possess. At the commencement of these proceedius, I stated my objections to the principles and policy of Bills of Pains and Penalties. I will not go so far as some Noble Lords have done, in saying nothing can ever justify their adoption ; but they are so ohjiktionable in their nature, and so unconstitutional in their practice, tbat nothing but the most urgent State necessity , could justify resorting to them; and no such State necessity has been proved in the present instance. I will not now re-state my arguments against the Bill; I have entered them in a protest; but it was with great surprise that I heard a Noble Lord (Reciesdale)' who was on the trial of Warren Hastings for seven years, say, that an impeachment - would not lie in the present case, because an indictment would not lie. I heard this with surprise, for impeachments were adopted to meet tests not proVided for in the ordinary rules of law. The Noble Earl then proceeded, in an eloquent strain, to combat the arguments of the Lord Chancellor, that x Bill of Pains and Penalties afforded more advantage tb the accused than a trial by impeachment.— It might be moresfavourable to guilt, as affording an additional chance to escape; but to innocence it afforded no such protec tion. It was one of the anomalies of thirproceeding. that if the •Bill passed, it would then have to go to another Court, where the whole process would be to go over again —where new evidence 'might be produced—but where witnesses could not be examined on oatli; and where they could not, like their Lordships, have the aid of the Learned Judges. This was a most frightful anomaly in these proceedings. 'Having declared his objection as to the mode of proceeding at the commencement, he then determined to at tend to the case as it would be made out by evidence. He felt that if such a case was made out as would justify the degradation of the Queen, he must then consider himself bound either to vote for the Bill, or to see her Majesty sit on the throne tainted and disgraced.. But the case to be made out was, that her Ma jesty's conduct had been so licentious and disgraceful, as to bring dishonour on the Sovereign,sand to he a publia scandal to the Country.—Vhe Noble Earl then read the preamble of the Bill, which, he said, had been so ably alluded to by his Noble and Learned Friend (Erskine) yesterday, just before he was taken and when he was advocating those principles with 'which his glorious life was identified ! The case to be made out for the Bill was not one of simple adultery, but of gross and licentious estbduct, which equally disgraced the Sovereign and the Country. Nothing short of such a case could justify the Bill. " And how paid the Noble Lord) was it to be poived ? by witnesses beyond aft suspicion? hear).-111 proportion as the rank of the Individual was high and illustrious—in proportion as the penal ties were' seVere--and in proportion as the proceeding was •ovel, and contrary to law and justice—in such proportion ought the case to be made out by evidence . above all taint—above all suspicion!' Even the positive testimony of a witness of Sut peened charecter ought not to. have • been admitted. NOw, my Lords; I will ask if the case has been so made out? I will now, my -Lords, proceed to 'the ceie as made nut by the most active partizans of the Measure ; hut I cannot but feel stir- I prised that a Bill of Pains ind Penalties should he persisted in, founded on a case which has felled so completely. If. at the 1 conclusion c.f the Attorney General's speech, we could have foreseen that the charges at Naples, which were the foundation of all the charges, would have been abandoned—if we had foreseen that Charges were to net on the evidence of Mejocchi and De Bloat —if we had foreseen that the charges at Trieste, Carlsrube, and at Genoa, would have -been relinquished, 'could we for a moment have believed that we should ever have been called to a second reading of this 'Bill? On all these charges; the advo cates for the Bill no longer relied ; the whole of the charges had dwindled down into the conduct of her Royal Highness dui leg her voyage on hoard the polacca—Pfeer, heir!)— Wmtiki any man lay his hand on his heart and say, that it lie ; had foreseen this was the whole thit would be proved, that he Would to: a moment .have entertained the proceedine ? A fier ! forty-five days of enquiry, now, when we are iu the twelfth hot i r of the proceeding, we are called upon to pass this odious Bill of Pains and Penaltics oti the single charge of the po'acca." • The Noble Lord then complimented his Friend (Lord Lauder- • dal:) for his integrity, and said, as his speech had been most , powerful, he would mm re immediately reply to it. Ile diCertd with hid Noble Friend materially, not only as jto the fCeelt and toucluilun to which he had come, but also in the views he had .

" TRIAL OF THE Q UEEN. PROCEEDINGS IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS. continuationfruns thefirst yesterday's STAR.) Lord HAREWOOD, in continuation:—" I wish," said the Noble Lord, 's that I could be as clear in my sowu mind of the innocence of her Majesty. as, indeed, I am to the impolicy of passing this Bill. When I see a Bill. with two parts, one of Degradation, and the other of Divorce ; and when I see the second reading of it pressed to a vote, with an understanding thee the Divorce clause shall aftenvarde be dropped—l can consider it now as nothing else but a Bill of Degradation. But, as a Legislator, I must consider what is to be the operation of this Bill, and of this 1 am firmly persuaded— regretting always the extraordinary cause of this measure—re. gretting deeply that it was 'ever brought here at all—(Hear, hc --or)I feel convinced, after what has passed —even if nothing had passed, I am perfectly convinced of this—that whatever the feelings of the people of the country on the subject may be, their good sense will very shortly -appreeiate.every public cha racter in the way deserved. Only give the people an oppor tunity of judging fairly, and I will take on myself, in behalf of the people of England, to say that their judgment will, in the run, be a correct one. I have known them long, and never saw it otherwise !" The Nobk Lord, after some further obser vations, concluded by repeating that he felt himself bound to vote against the Bill! .• Lord DONOUGHMORE now rose. After a few obser vations in answer to Lord Ilarewoori, he proceeded to com ment on the speech of Fail Grosvenor. As for that Noble Lord, it would indeed be a difficult matter to follow him through the labyrinth of his imagination, for he bad visited the upper regions; he had visited the eclipse; and it would be a serious matter to pursue him in his lofty speculations—(Much laughter).— Now, he should proceed as calmly as possible to deliver his, views of this grist question, and to state the grounds upon which he should give his vote. Ile should, in consider ing the question, shut out from his view the testimony of Majsechi, and of that woman, De Mont. lie should con sider the evidence of Sacchi as if no such thing had ever been given ; and Cuchi and Barbara Kress should be also ex cluded from his notice, determined, as he was, to calculate upon evidence that was liable to -no objection whatever. This he had resolved to do, although the Counsel on one side declaxed that those witnesses were the very best possible witnesses; an assertion which met with the 'professional contradiction that. might have been expected front the Coun sel upon the opposite side. The Noble Lord (Donoughmore) here expressed his admiration of his Noble Friend's (Lord Lau derdale) able and lucid speech upon this question, and said, that in most of the positions laid down in that speech he fully agreed. The favourite of the Illustrious Accused had been, indeed, highly honoured. Titles bad been procured for him, apd be was in the enjoyment of an estate. There were some little intermediate things which were deserving of notice—some little familiaities, which would be, indeed, undeserving of notice, if not coupled with some facts of irresistible force. The taking of the chain from the Queen's neck, and placing it on Bergami's ; the gift of the portrait ; those were things which, though far from being conclusive in themselves, greatly added to the sopicion of guilt when placed in juxtaposition to the more formidable proofs of guilt. Now, if two persons, a male and femake of whom no suspicion had been previously entertained, had happened to sleep under the same tent, owing to circumstances of an extraordinary kind, be should, indeed, be extremely sorry to say that he entertained a worse opinion of the character of the female than he had' before entertained ; but, when he considered that all the for mer evidences of a criminal intercourse were to be put in ad dition to the fact which had been proved beyond all doubt—that Bergami and her Royal Highness had, for live weeks, slept un der the same awning, day and night, it was impossible to draw any infereece but that of guilt. He could not see how it was possible to pronounce any other verdict, after proof of constant cohabieetiou for foe weeks under the awning—( Hear, hear). — The Noble Lord here proceeded to read the minutes of evi dence of the Captain and Mate of the polacca as to the station of her Royal Highness and Bergami on the gun, on the bed une der the awning, and the disgusting familiarities that took place between them. This was, his Lordship said, a complete an swer to the question which had been asked on the other side, whether it was possible that adultery could have been com mitted on board the polacca ?—Why, the polacca was a place of security far transactions of this kind. her Royal Highness had hired the yee.el, and all on board were her servants; and she had travelled from place to place, not so much from the de sire to behold other countries, and to contemplate the revolu tions which had taken place in the nations of antiquity, as to de rive gratification from another source—(d laugh).—Therti was something more in her imagination than curiosity of this sort was calculated to inspire. Why had the Captain removed his young relation, the .late, upon the exhibition of the passion? be . cause he was determined to let her have her pleasure—(.4 laugh). He knew that her Royal Highness had paid for her amusement, and she ehnald not therefore 'he prevented from gratifying her self. Now, in common cases of adultery, one single fact supplied ground for damages ar.d separation ; but in this case there were six months of indecent familiarities observed. He tc-ald not charge all that time as an adultery—(4l nigh).—but there were five weeks of it which had been passed by her Royal Highness and Bergenii under the same tent day and night, and no doubt existed as to the presumption that the voyage bad been under- . taken, not as a voyage of discovery, but of gratification. The Noble Lord here teal part of the evidence of Garguilo, which' stated, that S:hiavini had been present when the tent was closed, by oreer of her Royal Highness, upon her and Ikr gami. Adultery was, he said, often proved by a single witness. Now, if the charge was not true, why had not Schiavini been produced ? The evidence of what had occurred i during the Live weeks to which he alluded, remained, in truth, wholly uucontroveatd. Now this was what had bezn stated favour of the Dia, by the evidence brought forward iti support it. What bad Veen roved in lav , :nr tit the Bill hy ilieclefi:nce? . • - person _•argami's de scription from caprice and favour, was a very different thing from that advancement which it was the pride and hoes( of a free country to see persons originally of low renk, obtaining through a long gradation of meritorious services. But was the (bleep therefore to be condemned because Bergatni may Possibly have burn unworthily advanced? • Was not all history pregnant with examples of persons raised from the lowest situations to the highest from no better motives than mere caprice and favour? What was the Sovereign of that Court ( Murat) where the Queen resided at the time of this advance ment of Bergami ? And were we not now in amity• and alliance with one Sovereign (Bernadotte) whose extraction was ant higher than that of the hero of the present story—Wear, erase.— Ile again ...drained that' his elevation was a circurne stance of some suspicion, hut give it what weight they.reight, it was still only a suspicion—(Hor s /oar;—By certainty and truth alone, could such a Bill as this be decided. How then stood the real facts of the case? Some there were deposed to, .which if eetahliahed satisfactorily—if the witnesses on whom they ,rested were worthy of credit—could leave no doubt in the case. It their Lerdsaips could believe Majocehi ; if they could believe Dv Mont; if they, could believe Sacchi, there would be an end to the case; the fact of adultery must be held to be clearly and decisively proved. But their Lordships. had heard it aeknow ledged,liythe authors and supporters of the lAll,that imtwith sten... ing all the facts to which these witnesses had sworn, and front which alone guilt could be inferred, yet, if they were unsup ported by other circumstances, and by one another, they could not justify the I louse in passing this Bill of Pains and Penalties. Ilia Noble Friend on the cross-bench (the Earl of Lauder dale) bad said, that though there were many contradictions in Mejocetti's evidence, still he was not prepared to say he might not have spoken a great deal of truth—that, in short, the evi dence of Majocchi was not materially damaged; that De Mont, too, though not entirely to be depended on, was in the main a good witness; and that Sacchi was not, perhaps, so good as either of the other two; but that, taking all their testimonies in the ag gregate, though he did not implicitly rely on any one of them, and coupling them with the other circumstances of the elevation of Berganai, and so forth, they did convince his mind of the truth of the grand charge which these witnesses had been all working to establish. Was this right doctrine ? Was it to be endured that proofs, which were bad singly, should be held to become giapd in the aggregate? Was such a consolidation of damaged truths and damaged evidence ever heard of? The Noble Lord here quoted the opinion of Sir W. Scott its the case of Evans v. Evans (given in the Star of Thursday), as establishing clearly that such; !tickle of building up a case, was a misapplication of the doctrine of presumption. The next point to which he begged their Lord ships' attention was, that want of certain evidence on the part of her Majesty which she might have produced, but did not produce, and of which so much had been 'said by some of their Lordships. lie thought that her Majesty's Counsel had exercised a sound discretion in this respect. In support of this opinion, his Lordship entered into an examination of the situa tion in which her Majesty stood with respect to those persona who had not been called as witnesses; and as to the situation in which these persons would basic stood with respect to the House, when exposed to the excursive and harassing sort of examination in which their Lordships had shewn themselves disposed to indulge. aleriette Brun, and the Countess of Oidi, whose absence was chiefly complained of, when produced merely. to contradict certain statements in the evidence for the prosecution,'might have been examined as to every circumstance of their knowledge of her Majesty, during the many years this) , were in her service, and if caught triepine ever so slightly, the Lynx-eye of his Noble Friend (Lord Lauderdale) would nct have failed to detect the error, and to point it out to observation . as a thing throwing utter discredit on their whole t est i mon y.— It was in evidence too that Marietta Brun had been tampered with, and was her Majesty, after what she had experienced of the treachery of servants,. to expose herself unnecessarily to the repetition of such a risk ? And after all, it was surely a great deal too much, that an • inference of'guilt should, be raised from the absence of witnesses, when all that had been made out by the witnesses adduced, was totally undeserving.of etc dit—(hear, hear).—lf he was sitting as a juryman, he could never on such a ground venture on a verdict of guilty. lie would not go into a detail of all the contradictions- in the evidence for the prosecutim ; .but he would requeit the attention of their Lordships to some of the more remarkable. Here his Lordship proceeded to comment at some length on'those parts of the ev dunce of 31ajocche Sacchi, and Be Mont, in which they had either flatly contradicted themeelves, or were met by the flattest contradictions, from other persons of unimpeachable credit. It was impossible, be concluded, for any man •who wished to do justice to place any reliance on their testimony: Plaisterers, boatmen, carpenters, bricklayers' labourers—every body, in short, but an Englishman, and a credible witness—a (Hear, hear)—the meanest labourers, the refuse of Italian rabble constitute the mass of the witnesses who have been brought to your Lordships' Bar. It appeared from the evidence of most of these people, that they never mentioned a syllable of what they had seen, at the time the circumstance took place! So prudent, so modest, so reserved were these witnesses, that they never mentioned a single word of what they had seen to any human being, until they were called on to give their depositions before the Milan Commission! This circumstance 'hewed at least that • they did not disclose anything until the traffic iii evidence be-. came profitable, and then they came forward , like disinterested persons, to tell all they knew !—(Hear, hear, hear).—Was not this, said the Noble Earl, enough to induce reasoning men to discard all this purchased testimony, as totally unworthy of cre dit?—(Hear, hear).—lt was not a little remarkable (continued his Lordship), that the principal witnesses in support of the prosecution, Majocchi, De Mont, Sacchi, and, he might add, itastele, were all discarded servants of per Majesty; that three of them were dismissed in November, 1817, and Majocchi two months before that period ; as.l that all die prof' in the case was confined to the time these individuals were in the service of her Mejeety—(Hear, hear). —Front the time they left the Queen not an atom of proof, nor the slightest imputation of IMproper conduct had been tendered against her Majesty—(Repealed cheers from all tarns I . f the Muse). Not only were all of them discarded servants, but two of thsiin were, in possession (if the chaiges against the Queen were true) of secrets which would have made it the height eat iaadness in her Majesty to discharge them—(Hear), =De Moot admitted that she was diacheiged for saying that which was false; she admitted it in her evidence, and in her letters; she also admitted the justice of-her discharge; she ad mitted her conduct with'Sacchi had been criminal; for, in the letter she apologized, sad attributed her conduct to that fatal passion which had misled her. Could any than believe this woman% evidence? She swore that her Majesty's dress at the ball was indecent, and Sir Win. Cell swore it was not, and so did others, whose evidence could not be exceptede• She also said that Bergami was three quarters of an hour in the Prin cess's mem at Naples, whets she was &engin* her dress._ If ibis had not been disproved completely by Sir Vollleern Cull, he could not have believett the statement; for, If the, parties were sleeping together nightly, it was not lik e l y that they should take that opportunity to be together for such a purpose, especially that her Majesty should place De Mont at the door to witness her guilt . The stateinent was evidently the inven tion of. the Ji!le de chambre. But Sir Wm. Cell,' whose love of antiquity is well known, had-given a description of. the dress, which proved it to have been directly the reverse of indecent. As to the alleged exposure of certain parts of her Majesty's person, if it were even true, he was afraid he might readily find instances, according to the modern meaner' of elevated society, to justify that departure front good taste and delicacy ; and, he behaved that many, even of tharlArdshiits, might have cause n lament that exhibitions of this nature should be looked upon as - fillerrlicui W the existence of guilt—(Hear, aftleed, did he ivirb tot. a refermaiion in this /esprit; &le i ter this proceeding were attended . with no tither good effeefil* • tres.ed that, at least, it would operate as an instructive ,kalue , to the fumelea of ea bleed, to eurrese the excesses of tiris elate_ M. : 'I •••.' * Ad d" •I k !N.• - - ' ... •• • . . -. ~• i -olt\_.,ii,:„.. 0 . . 4 iftrat 4, 182().. .. . - . _ . ,
