Tux Defence of the Queen has already developed even more than the most devoted partizans of her Majesty could fairly have presumed. It has shewn • that her Niajesty has not only not been even indis- Creet, but that not a shadow of levity attaches to her conduct. The evidence of Lord Guilford, Sir William Cell, Lord Landaff, and Mr. Keppel Craven, proves, that at the very time when the conduct of the Queen is stated to have been barefacedly suspicious, that nothing objectionabl.e could attach to her. The evidence of Sir William Cell completely destroys the statement of Sacchi respecting the charge of un. dressing in Berg,ami's presence, and shews that no undres.sing was necessary, and that there was no indecency in her dress; the history of Bergami's introduction to the family of the Queen, is also completely satisfactory, and from the circumstance of die Marquis Argniilicrs taking the affectionate leave which he took of Bergami, it is quite clear th:..t Bergami could not be of a family or character that would be unworthy of a scat at the Queen's table : it appears likewise that his fellow-chamberlain, a man of rank and an Englishman, did not think it unworthy of himself to be ranked as chamberlain with this Bergami; and even supposing that Ber g►ami had not been of a good family, and had . been of a very low extraction, why should not services, especially of a really faithful kind, which he per folioed, entitle him to be raised to a more honourable ,situation, and especially when such rise was under. stood, ift• ease of good behaviour, to be a part of the contract Does a Bishop or Peer think it any degra dation to sit down at table with his secretary or steward? No such thin;.• The nick-names of tide and rank really make men forget themselves, and many ,a,Baronet or Lord, who has, perhaps, only obtained-his title by selling his country, forgets that it is nothing but the breath of a King squandered upon services which arc a disgrace to the performer, that gives him the artificial elevation which sets him above others, ten thousand times better than himself— —" My Lord, ' your Highness' are the masks that hide "Their little beings, and exalt their pride." When the English attendants of the Queen left her, was it not It sort of natural right that Bergarai, who had been in the same rank and employment of the most respectable of them, should be entrusted with a confidential situation about the Princess; and when surrounded by strangers, and in danger of spies and enemies, was it not natural that she should have a man nearest to her, in whose fidelity she could trust? So that, in fact, the great ground of the Queen's enemies is cut away from under their feet, viz. the first appearance, at first sight, of a menial servant raised to a.confidential situation about the Princess, now Queen Consort. But there is a much more important fact still now clear, or at least sufficiently clear to demand inquiry, from the interruption of the Attorney General respecting the passport granted to the Queen; not in the name y lie Queen, but of the Princess, after the Queen had become Queen Consort. Does nut this make it plain that the Pope's Court had re ceived intimation from the English Court that it would be disagreeable to the English Government that the Queen should be acknowicdied us Queen? Does not this retinal to acknowledge her as Queen, square with the conduct of the Ministers in avoiding so long to mention the word Quern as relating to Queen Caroline' Does not this show that there was a fixed determination to un-queen her ? At all events, does not such determination agree with the encouragement of that evidence resulting from the Milan commission, which looks now so like like a conspiracy ? And does not the conduct of the Pope imply a correspondence with the Foreign-office of the English Government, and thus bring home to Lord Castlereagh a reasonable suspicion that he was a party to the conspiracy ?—We implore the country now to demand au inquiry into the conduct of the Foreign-office upon this occasion! and espe cially when we see again that the Attorney General so pertinaciously opposed the introduction of evidence to contradict the evidence of Majocci respecting the Baron Orupteda and the pick-lock work, which he ine.t have remembered, and which he clearly knew, having orcrcd, at it arrears, " to kill Ompicda tor his baseness," well might the Queen say out, " Who! you, Traitor !' after seeing such a hero appear oil tile stage as all accuser, and astonishment indeed, must she have felt at the diligent exertions of her enemies to get such a witness !! ! •- • THE NATIONAL REGISTER Since writing the above, a most important fact has conic to light.—Government nas lent its aid, to the escape from punishment of one of the lead ing witnesses against the Qneen—a witness, who would, but for the f icndly interference, have cer tainly stood in the pillory. Is such rascally conduct still to have the advantage of ministerial impunity —or will a general Bill of Indemnity, fir all acts to a certain period be passed in thvour of Ministers, us it was to shield their coadjutor, Mr. Edwards, of Cato-street notoriety. We have sof zaurtaaid that we consider the impo the present proceeding in the House of Lords, pa ramount to any other, but a mental reservation may be allowed us in case any thing of extraordinary and unexpected consequence present itself. This has been the case, and we refer our readers to our report of Bow-street proceedings for the particulars. Those who are inimical to the Administration boldly assert that it was wished to push the people into a state of phrcnzv to authorize the introduction of a perfectly despotic and military government. We hope, fin the honour of our Governors, for the credit of hu manity, and for the sale of the best interests of our country, that the lie direct will be given to such assertions, not only by the disavowal of any share in such infamous, rascally, villanous plans, but that the verity of such declarations may be supported by a lively movement towards the apprehension of the WEALTIIY MISCREANTS, who have thus endeavoured to drive a distressed people to deveration. With respect to the man detected, and suffered to escape on the present occasion, we have some im portant information : we believe his real name is not Franklin, but Reicher; and that he is that person against whom a naval officer of Great Bri tain, and High-Admiral of the Navy of Hayti, obtained damages in a case of adultery. It was one of the most infionous causes that ever came before the Court, fiddler being lx,th the agent of the husband and the seducer of the wife; and the money transmitted to England by that husband, suffering a transfer from its rightful owner, as well as the affections of the lady. French papers of Tuesday arrived at a late hour last night. They contain no domestic news of any importance, and their ibreign intelligence is not of a much later date than what has arrived from other quarters. The fUllowing is an extract from the constitutional journal of the two Sicilies : " The Duke of Gallo, the Sicilian Ambassador. who was obliged to stop short at Ciageufurt on his way to the Court of Vienna, complained to Met. ternich on the subject, and received from that Minis ter the following answer: After a revolution which has overturned the fbandation of the social edifice, and menaces at once the safety of thrones, the sta bility of established constitutions, and the tranquil lity of nations, his Majesty the Emperor would act inconsistently with the principles which have inva riably guided him, if he recognized the mission of the Duke of Gallo.' The Emperor of Russia, the same journal mentions, has refused to receive the Prince Cimitele, the Constitutional Ambassador of Naples. 'lt appears, then,' adds the Neapolitan journalist, that our political relbrm will be the principal object of deliberation for the Congress to meet at Troppau. Let us hope that more accurate notions may enlighten the Allied Sovereigns than at present appear to guide them."' • SHIP NEWS. NEWHAVEN, 0.T.: ll.—Put in here for shelter the Renown transport. from lie.l4;oland for Deptford. HARWICH, OCT. 12.—The Scout, revenue cutter, has sent in two boats, with 307 tubs of spirits; they were cast otf from a lugger to the westward, while in vita-c; and the Eagle coact has brought in one boat, with 70 tuns--theta were no hands on board.
