Bat such is the wa ll evidence sow before you, Sod so numerous have the observations upon that evidence, that I shall feel „, h e eaden duty to address you at considerable length, o ; a b stah lting that am conscious of my inability to * d lint before I proceed to the examination of die ,g en ie support of the charges against her Majesty, aMi tot f ehiesre adduced to rebel them, I eballadvert to one iifihiklt has been urged by all of my Learned Friends . t er her Majesty : and urged too, with se much earnest- sass, that it would not be proper in me to overlook it. li mo she peculiar disadvantage which it is stated her Topßakal bad to encounter in meeting the present Ogle, Severer, that topic might have afforded esiklmileciatuation before the sham Of the case against kr Majesty; vet, when your L,rdshlps had dour that which you thought fit on that occasion, the harden* of such a topic as I have mentioned, atter that circumstance , was net oily irrregilar, bat die statemests brought in support of it were entirely unfounded. When all the witnesses had been eveniersi ill support of these charge., and the case was entirely concluded, your Lordships were pleased to do that which I Lust will upon no future occasion M drawn into a precedent. Your Lordships gave her *toy the whole of the time she desired to make her definite when she was in possession of th! evidence syairst her ; and as at the sante time the unlimited pe moist: means were. placed at her disposal, and every facility in the power of Oovernment affonled her with • .16 ripr to her defence, I thick my Lords we did hear a f too much about the oyerwhelutingililficulties with • Oki it trim said her "Majesty was'surrounded." Tho' • Leefeed•Oratlzninn here commenced some observations allpectiag• lircgatui, and in reference to 111111 he conti nued, " it appears to me, that I shall he able to prove, in than r that will leave no doubt in any rational mind, • that this menial was raised into her confidence without my reason whatever except to gratify a licentious intercourse. Your Lordships must never shut out" r.ovis TIPTIf minds tiie -hemmer' aaktitles that were con • ferreti ua Chia man, for there are points that cannot • ei;atit of an rapt:outdo,. Having, my Lords, made Iheie preliminary observations, let me now approach 'the evidence that has been submitted in proof of • Ibis C.;se. I feel confident I shall receive your • • Lordships kind indulgence, which is se accessary es the present occasion. At Naples, then, begins the case and the evidence, by which the charges contained • in the preasilde of that, hare been made out. And allow me for use nutrient to direr' your Lordships atietition to the Course that has been pursued by my Friends on the opposite side. They have all along endeavonfed to contrast the evidence that has been adduced, with the opening speech which I had the 'honour of delivering before your Lordships. And they have contended, hut certainly without soccer., that because that opening speech has differed in souse pats from the evidence, that therefore the case has not been proved. lint, my Lords, it becomes your duty to exclade from your minds that speech altoge ther. And my friends ought to know too well the proceedings in all courts of law, not to be aware that a jolty most only judge and form their opinions from the evidence that appears before them ; and that they should banish from their minds any impressions that viay be made by the speech of Counsel, end to judge solely by the facts adduced. And I Charge them, not only with a complete failure in what they have bronght forward, but with promising your Lordships evidence that Alley have not done. Evi llest', which either they dared not, or could nut pro. dom. They hare examined the case at Naples with re lative to my statement, and they have argued, be came it did not altogether agree with the evidence chat was adduced, therefore the case is not proved. The Learned fictitlentan then referred their Lordships to the arrival of the Princess at Naples. It appeared from the evidence of Dumont, that she returned from the Opera, gave directions, and exhibited symptoms In her cosdaet which go to prov that an adulterous intercensse mast have taken place. And how Is the ease pot by my Learned Friends ? They say, they contradict every part of the statement. in the first rlat-e, they say, they contradict the story of Wm. Austin.; and how is that ? Dement is t died, who swears, that this alterativa took place at Naples. laupposition to this, Mr. Craven is called, who, to all the other titles he has acquired, he also added that of her Majesty's monitor, he swears that alteration took place before. Wm. Carrington is also called, who rorriihorates this statement. lint then conies Sacciii, Rho has insole the beds, who never knew of any alter ation of the beds until they came, to Naples. I!. then referred them to the evidence of Siceard. Ills testi mony gives a col.. fete contradiction to Mr. Craves and Carrington; and agrees Completely with Mestioet. This fact then is established by their own witnesses. • The soot fact to which•he wished to direct 'bele • •,ittreatios% was tts the changing, of Mergamre roams; 1 apology that is set up fur. protection that it afforded to . thpt be did tilts t(ilheitnap of the triscess, but b n ifsetuayaumo,r . and this my imaesstse hi hi got dinette* teem the deed, eased- • • - -Pfidthne *tfoinet persons 6 rough Ike gatski, bit lio was as sactrU bb, any pommel com#acktte , the room Of rh o This did net sting alone ipso the teetimsay IN 4fl - and Deftest, but It ern maltreat by the niddikti ' of Whittodrhe sad Siteaad, who had both sald'Yhea thin was a print* demmanicatios.

Why, that he should prove her Royal 'Highness to has called a servant into her room on that very piglt t to sink a window which bad blow* open by the wind, and that that servant had seen her Royal Highness upon the small travelling bed. Where was this servant ? Where was Hierosymosta..if he were the wrest, as he supposed he was?-.-The enss-examination of some of their other witnesses ilstatred them from . hringlig them forward. He . (the Attorney-Oeneral) Lad been charged with not bringing proof of every thhig his statement contained. And now, he would ask, where was the proof of this statement of his friend, Mr. Williams ?—Their Lordships should never forget, that when her Majesty had the means of attempting a con tradiction and did not use those means, the fair infer ence was, that she did not call her witnesses, because they could not . prove what they lemon ed, or that they were amid of exhibiting: further specimens of weak memories, or still *calor. nerves. instead of Dement having bees contradicted as to what occurred on the first night et Naples, she stood confirmed in her most material evidence 'spots that subject. His Learned Friends had ingeniously endeavoured to show, that if they could cut away this first portion of the charge, they would destroy the whole superstructure which bad been subsequently built upon it. With great ingenuity and dexterity, they had endeavoured to establish this proposition. Rut he denied it. It was no matter, whether an adul. terous intercourse had commenced at Naples, or elsm where. And if their Lordships did out agree with hint, that it had been dewily made omt at Naples, he was satisfied that he could Pill prove it to have existed long before liergassiowes raised from the situation of a courier. lie was sic prised at what Mr. Denman had said abobt Demont's evident, of having met Bergami in the corridor, gulag ft:la-arils the Princess's room. His Learned Friends knew nut bow to meet this past of the case; they knew that if proved, it was decisive of her Majesty's guilt; therefore they had endeavoured to do away with it by observation, when they had failed to do so, by evidence. As to the masked hail, he was ronildeet, that when their Lordship, came to look at that part of the case critically and calmly, they would again find, that there was not the slightest cantradic' thin to the testimony of Lamont. She stated, that the Princess had appeared there iu three different dresses. First, in that of a Neapolitan peasant; and that afterwards, she went into a Chamber with Her- i pea, where she remained for three quarters of as 1 bellree. end theta retuned in the character of the tie- L. nius of History. Mir William Oaf's optics were so a.'nte, that although he had only seen her Royal Highness fur an instant, in that character—although she had flitted before him like a dash of lightning — yet, he could see through her other stresses, that the one which abe wore, on that occasion, ,was always under the rest. lie had stated that considerable delay occurred before her Royal Hi4hness returned, and that they waited for some time anxiously expecting her. This delay confirmed the correctness of Detnont's statement, as to the length of time employed in changing the dress, Mr. kepi's.' Craven had described this same dress of the tlenini of History, bat did not rec.sliect that it was at all in decent.. Sir W. licit described it to he like Mr. Hope's Mimrva, and like a statue in the British 31useum, and as 1 being completely covered. 'Phis was not the case. 'flie arms of those statues were bare, and the whole form only ' enveloped in a thin drapery. As proof of what he stated, Sir W. Dell had represented the dress to be so thin, that even in that lightning glance which he caught, he email see through it, and describe what was under it. The next fact which he came to was, the going to the Theatre San Carlos. He was not so ignorant as nut to know that those who wont to a masquerade insist go disguised. Neither he nor his Learned Friend the Solicitor-ttenerel had ever made that a matter of charge ; but that her Royal Iliglines.s had stilton, in company with Bergaini and Deinont, in treference to all the persons of the English suite. Dr. Holland has proved this assertion. He himself went, bit lie did not know that the Princess was there until the next morning. The servant, Bergar&, was the per son of all others, selected front the suite, to accompany her Royal Highness in suck a situation{ and Ds. Hot-. land had clearly proved that they had gone unknown to the rest of the family. The next evidence was, that Borgami and the Princess walked arm in arm in the garden; and that had been met by the most extraordi nary contradiction that he had ever heard. Mr. Keppel Craven had seen ilergemi walking in the garden behind the Princess, and thought proper on that account to as sume the character of her monitor, and cautioned her Royal Highness, because he saw her walking in the open day with a servant behind her in atten dance. He had said there was no impropriety in this, and certainly there was no impropriety. Why then 'bad he given this notion / Because lie entertained souse lurking suspicion frumother circumstances. Perhaps like Ik. Hoiland, he had heard of the theatre of San Carlos. How could the caution which he, had given to her Royal Highness be reconciled with her subsequent eendeet to that most highly favoured individual of her foggily, the courier Berganai t ide then &Boded to the eei -I,dearest Majooohi, of the Pri BMWS going through his mos to that of tkvcasai. His Learned Friends had asked with an air of triumph, how list avoid have happened. Isboeasse then Was anther passage throtnek which she might have gone. ! Sow Wood 'that fact ?

Bofors hating the subject of the oceurreeres at Naples, he would shortly ohs erre, spots the wawa" of lady, Charlotte Lindsay. Dr. latsisiogtoss said yoolardayi that all the beta had fallen from under the Piet *of himself and his Friend, and that sot the slightest i femiliority or impropriety at Naples bad been proved, and that it appeared the attention of her Royal Highness to Bergami was not greater than that which she shared to her other domosties. But 'whet the learned Doctor advanced this statemebt he must have forgotten the evidence of Leidy ebarlutte ',him.. That lady had herself admitted a crowd of suspicions circumstances. Wherever her Royal High ness wont, Bergami was the servant selected to wait upon nett and Bergami was the attendant always about her permit. If ever her Royal Higboess walked out with lady Charlotte*, Remittal was the attendant, although ho was a touriot at the time In sprestion. These circuntstaaces were more than shirtier; flay were suspicions. Referring to that most extraur dinary and suspiciout citcemstance, which was ad mitted by Lady Charlotte, of Bergami's coming up to the carriage wiadow and asking for something to drink, the Learned Oentleman said that this circum stance alone was conclusive; Mt no servant would have dared to take such a liberty with his illus trious mistress unlets he had been justified by the last familiarity. lately Charlottte dial not deny this circumstance; although she appeared to have that sort of recollection which had afforded such scope for the splendid declaration of his Learned Friend Mr. Brougham. 'lo Lady Charlotte Lindsay, he meant err offence, but that Lady had certainly answered in the same way as the %gimlet had answered, whose Neu mi ricordn't were the theme of such exultation on the other side. Nevertheless, she admitted the handing the bottle to Ilergarni from the carriage by the Princess, at 'ter rors request; a liberty, he repeated, which no other servant would have dared to take with his mistress.- had any other servant been so favoured by her Royal High ness ?—Ne ; But Ikrganii, and Bergatni alone was the favourite. He presumed, and he had a right to presume upon the familiar terms upon which it was evident he was with the Princess. Could it possibly be contended that this was not familiar intercourse ? And this was a, fact too, extorted from an unwilling witness. S a fact, 'from smelt a witness. he wodld boldly corm' tend was decisive, and spoke more than all the facts deposed to by the witnesses for the proeentielar• Lady Charlene. Lindsay was a witness called ,to support the character sod the dignity of her mistress. She was the prop. the grand stay of the Queen's ,emit: 'She was the only Eoglisb lady—English lady did he say? She was the only lady, the only female called on the part of the Queen. The production of females in such a case as the present, was of more consequence to the Queen, and would have more weight in her favour than thr evidence of all the Chevalier Vassalis' iuthe kingdom. 'there was another most suspicious cir cumstanee. Lady Charlotte Lindsay withdrew from the service of her Royal Highness at the suggestion id lady Charlotte's brother, in consequence of the untorourable reports which were in circulation against her Royal Highness. He should now come to the circumstance of the admission of Bergami's family into the house of het Royal Highness. His Learned 'Friends had said this was perfectly natural ; nothing more natural. liergatui, they said, had been advanced fur his ,merit, and the admission of his family into the house of her Royal Hignesss was therefore perfectly natural. But when did this take place ? At a time when there was no vacancy in her Royal Highness's household. At this time were the mother, the bro ther, the sister, sad the child of Bergami admitted ander het Royal Highness's roof. It was oh We that Lieut. Hownam too admitted this fact with consi derable reluctance; but at length he did admit it. What! the mother, the brother, the sister, and the child of this man admitted ; and all perfectly natu ral! What were the extraordinary merits, what the meritorious achievements of this man at the time in question? Much stress had been laid upon Bergami's valour and prowess when the Ituvost of her Royal nigh ties, was attacked in Utronany. But the clr munstaace alluded to was before this adventure ; and after all on that occasion it appeared that the moat essential service had been performed jig tint much slandered witness illajocchi. 1(11ere the persons below she bar burst into laughter but they were called to Order by the Hiram.)
