Even, had the charges been proved against her Majesty, the people of this country were disposed to find ample consideration for Ler in the notorious fact of her early desertion, her exposure to temptation, the insults she hail been offered, and the abardonment of domestic duty which she had experienced. But the cloirwe was so fir from being proved that it partially :disproved itself; anti the rest was clearly, and he con tended, most satisfactorily refuted. The learned Gentle man then returned to the Milan t: • %%jun, awl argued at very cocsiderahle length on the impropriety of sending Kartelli out of the kingdom. It appeared that Kastelli was now shuffling, and wished to avoid returning. This was not to he wondered at ; for he supposed Rastelli hail been apprized that the pillory still remained as a punishment for perjury. Mr. D. then cons. plained of the attar Ls of some (lithe oireling prints upon ker Majesty's case: he said that these attacks were otten bad enough in themselves. but they often proceeded -um a misrepresentation of the farts they pretended to timintsent upon. For instance, in a paper of yesterday, an answer of then itness Martini, had been falsely re ported. The witness was asked whether her husband ha I ever been a bankrupts The paper in question stated, that she admitted lie had ; while the fart was, that she denied with indignation that her husband had been made a bankrupt. The same paper said, this Lieutenant Elvis's was CO/140MA to infamy.

Look. my Lords, at the conduit of t lier nameless; and molten prosecutor, and then at the con-1 dual of tor illustrious . client. For a series of years abet has been the subject of unceasing persecution. The death of her only slaughter slag immediately followed by this • friglitMl conspiracy.

It was ! an minced to her, not in the language of kind respect, o. even of decent condolence, but in a shape which forestalled the decision of Parliament upon this great qu Cardinal Consalti was the instr ttttt ent of strip ping her of her rank, and depriving her of those honours to which her station in society laid claim. Iler title as Princess Caroline of England was stated in the face of her passport; and the first transaction of this new reign. in which even traitors were spared anal felons par doned by a lavish exertion of tlie royal prerogative of mcrey, was the most illegal and unchristian act vet re cord:al in the annals of the British 00000 narchy. 'to the Queen it was no new reign of peace and amnesty, but the coninsencenietst of a prosecution in which malignity and falsehood were united for het destruction.

I was about to ralnerve that there were certain individuals, who had not been called as witnesses—simply for this reason—that our case is already provesl, anal that we do cost think it decent, or eoasistent with the principle% of justice to overload the !flimsies, already so nowiehly. by adssittius dust we 3r.• laminal to go a single atria further.

Eyen perjury would be thainght a venial crime, compare/I with the exposnre of the victim of his adultery. Streit-, for the sake of dragging forward snub a witness, the principles of oar matore, and of the heart of man, are not to be repealed even mere this occasion. to which so many principles have hi en made thesaeritice. Recollect, my lords, that this is a criminal prosecution of the highest kind, and respiring the clearest and time strongest eridence—evidence col I erteil and naa maim ores! during six years of anceasing vigilance an.l nnrrasitting persecution. We have heanl of the distinction between a Queen sit grace anti favour. anti a Queen of right and law ; butt her Majesty bas been taught, by bitter experienee, the wide differs-nee between a husband of affection anal guardianship, a MI a Isiisharul wi jealousy . and peraecattioa!

I Then I ask your Lordships, has that ease been made out ? Is there any man that can read the evidence against the 1411 Cell without a perfect conviction that she has been most malignantly traalured ? 111 mi the boat men on the Lake of t' may have said to those who were gaping Willi' for slander, 1 know not ; what reports may have been eirettlateai by her enemies, I know not • what the result would have been, had the facts state d been established. I know not ; but I do know, that they have nut been proved—that they are false, calumnious, and detestable. Nay, 1 say one word more to your taoralships—l know that a supposition prevails, that a spirit has gone abroad, dangerous to the constitattion and government. I have heard it said, that a spirit of mischief was actively at work, among the friends of her Majesty; but the same perom who uttered that memo rable expression, in a few wet-ks was obliged to admit that it was false, because the truth could not he conceal- that the whole of the generous population of Eng- 121111 had enlisted themselves with ardour on the side of i the innaavnt anal the injure(. At the sante time, it is possible that hoth n at ty he true; the sound and middling el a . . of suciety may tech acutely for the situation of her Majesty; anal there may be, also, some apostles of mischief lurking in a corner, meditating a blow at the constitution, anal ready to avail themselves of soy °ppm:- , malty for open violence.

I trust vonr latral laips will not allow the idea of, haying fear illipllted to yoll 10 ilivrrt you from the straight I conrst• of your ditty would be the worst of injustice' to the accused, anti the worst of cowardice in yourselves.

You have bnt one course to rum., anal that course is straight for ward ; it is to sequin her Majesty at once of those odious rharges. We may truly say, that as there never was such a trial, an there never existed such means of *reali sation. Hefner I conclude, 1 st be permitted to say, that tiering the whale of this proceeding (though per sonolly I have every reason to thank the hou s e for its kiadness and indulgence) the highest . gratification re sulting to my mind has been, that w ith my Learned Friend I have been joined upon this great occasion.
