Imperial Parliament amtinuad fiMPp ege to discharge them. The fact of lierganies sleeping under the tent was not doubted ; but a colour has been given to that Let.— Now. when the situi....on of persons on board ship was consider ed—a place where the most delicate female was obliged to resign all ideas of delicacy—where, as Sir W. Scott said, all persons, male and female. WCTC cooped up into a miserable intimacy, and where every word and action were known to all on board—to suppose that a guilty intercourse had taken place under such circumstances was too much•—to Ore a verdict to that effect (said his Lordship) WPi against common sense. The Noble 1-nit went on to argue. in the most powerful manner, against the Bill. lie warned the llom.e against passing the measure, end thus entering into a dangerous conflict sub the House of Commons. Ile con jured their Lonl:liips to throw out the Bill, and potent the fur ther siopensior. of all nubile business, and the repetition of this disgusting evidence. The Noble Earl then Plitllled to his 1 oh tical life, in which he had always enevavoured to uphold tile true interests of the Crown. and the liberties oil the peopie ; and if he could hut see this odious Bia rejected he could then enjoy the sound repose 'of an unt.oubled conscience. lie confessed that, .at the outset of the case, his prejudices and feelings were untie. vourable to the Qrcen, and lie expected such a ca...e would be made out, as would have compelled him to vote for the Bill; but seeing how the charges had felled of proof. he could not lay his head down in quiet if lie did not oppe-e the Bill with all the powers lie powessetl. " I can, therefore, said the Noble Earl, lay my hand on my heart, and cons ientiousay and fearlessly say Aon Content." The Earl of LIVERPOOL then rose amidst an expression of attention. Ile said the Noble Earl (Grey) had alluded to 60111 C supposed understanding as to what might be the conduct of these who supported the Bill, if it should be reed a second time. Of that understanding he knew nothing. In each unite standing he took no part. The Queen and her Counsel had ji!ined issue, .and iii tact they had heard evidence on both sides. Cutler thele .circumstances their Lordships were hound in duty to the country and the Queen's cause to conic to a conclusion one way Or the other. At the same time he wished rniPt distinctly to state, that whatever any Noble Lord Might think with respect to the tide. gations in the prwinble, he desired no person to vote for the second reading of• the Bill who did not believe the adulterous in • tercuurse was proved by evidence. The Noble Earl then alluded to the contrariety of evidence in the c•se, and observed, that similar contradictions had occurred in all cases of great import ance. Having alluded to the various points in evidence, proving the imparent ti ntilisrity of her Royal Highness with this Italian, the Noble Earl drew a conclusion that she V/411 guilty upon the face of the evidence. He was proceeding to mark the extraordinary attention paid to some of the members of the Berg= family, and the exclusion of Bergami's wife, when several Lords indicated a desire to adjourn, and the Earl of liarrowby moved, it ►eing then a quarter past four o'clock, tkat the House do adjourn. Adjourned accordingly. TW IisSEVEENTH DAY OF THE DEFENCE. SATURDAY, NOV. 4. Her Majeity, the Queen arrived at the House of Lords this day, a few minutes belote one o'clock : she was received ,by . the Military in Palace-yard with a Itord salute. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wi.olsack a few minutes belore ten o'clock. Prayers were read by the Bishop of Brirtol, and the list was then ailled over. Several Peers were absent, among whom was the Marquis of Hertford, who was stated to be so id as to be unable to attend. Lord HOLLAN D hoped their Lordships would not separate to-day without coining to a vote, unless rile debate was likely to exaend much beyond the usual hour of adjoutnnient. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished the House to continue the practice which they had hitherto adopted. It would be a Ms. grace to their Lordships, if, in an investigation of this important and soeinn nature, an opportunity was not rftinded to every Peer in that house to express his opinion. Personal convenience must, in a case of this solemn nature, give say ; nor must bodily fatigue be plaided as an excuse for not entering into the fullest discussion of the subject. Lord HOLLAND explained. Lord ERSKINE said, he should be glad of an early opportu nity of addressing their Lordships, but be would not detain them more than hail en hour. Lord LIVERPOOL then rose and resumed his speech, which was of considerable length, and concluded by saying, he trusted that their Lordships would pronounce their opinions without being ii.fluenced by prejudice, affection, or faction. Ile doubted not that the country would do them justice it they founded their decision upon the evidence alone. His Lordship defended the presence of the Judges. He wished that they, and every man 11l the country, should know all that passed within those walls; and he (Lord Liverpool) appealed to that Judge to whom the secrets of all hearts were known, to witness the justice of his pre sent decision ; and in his presence he solemnly declared that, in giving his vote he was actuated by no motive but a desire to ad- minister justice tampered with mercy. Lord ARDEN said a few words, not distinctly audible : but we understood him to speak against the Bill. Lord FAL MOULH said he would yield to none, however infirm his ability might be, in a disposition to discharge his duty as a Peer of that House. His i.ordship said, unless the divonx clause was struck out, he would vote against the Bill. Lord lIARROWEY would vote for the Bill, but against the divorce clause. Lord ELLENBOIIOUGH thought that no man could hope for the second reading of that Bill as the public voice was de. cidedly in opposition to it. With this consideration he should sye his vote in direct opposition to the measure. Lord ASBURN HAM next rose, and said that let the evidence be what it night, the proceeding was one of a most unpreceuented nature. His Lordship concluded by giving his vote against the BilL Lord Erskine, the Earl of Darnley, and several other Peers arose at the same instant ; it was, however, ultimately decided, after an appeal in his favour by the Lord Chancellor, that, Lord Igraine had the preference, and his Lordship accordingly pro ceeded to address their I.ordships, but his remarks west; almost inaudible below the Bar. De argued at considerable length against the Bill, and observed that, though all his prejudices and interests would have drawn him the other way, lie was irresistilq led, on a view ofd c case and the evidence, to oppose the Bill. Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE spoke at considerable length, and took, in the course of his observatious, a review of great part of the evidence. llis Lordship concluded by giving his vote in favour of the measure. Lord MAN N hiltS spoke in favour of the Bill, and thought the charges proved. The Duke of NEWCASTLE thought that adultery was clearly and indisputably proved, and voted nut only for the second reading of the Bill, but all penalties which it would inflict. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose, and with great ani mation replkei to the Duke of Newcastle, who, he said, 11.1 d only heard the evidence fur the BM, but for his own cunven.enee had nut head the evidence for the defence, or the speeches of her Majesty's Counsel. The Noble Marquis continued speaking against the Bill till 20 minutes past tour o'clock, when, nut having concluded, the Douse adjourned. An article from Alinorcit, on the 19th ult. ma tions the arrival of a Dutch frigate there from Al giers, bringing intelligence, that a plot against the Dey had been discovered, and that the cof.:ipirators were in custody. At the departure of the frigate, t! e Algerine squadron was about. put-a:ilea; on 14 tint do:.ttisaLou had tiut It - amen - ed.. • _ 4-,... THE NATIONAL REGISTER FROM TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ....-.

BARON D'OMPTEDA. -NO-- The following are the letters which Mr. Brougham announced to the House on Friday, and which the Duke of Hamilton moved on Monday last should be received as evidence. Will the reptile, venal, press reiterate its eulogies on the HONESTY of this &tenet German, after these damning proofs of his villany ? Rome, FES. 24, 1810. Ste,—Convinced of your amiable complaisance, of which you have already given decisive proof.. I venture to ask a favour of you' It is my wish that the enclose-I letter, written by the late Swiss .kmme de chanibre, Aladame Dumont, to her relative, who is still in the service of the Princess (and who, according to the address, is called illarietti Brim, ahlivigh I believe that she is also called Dumont), may be delivered according to the direction which I have recaved, that is to say, into Lie hands of Bron herself, without the knowlitlge of the Princess and her confidants, who imercept all letters addressed to persons of her suite. You will doubtless find means of conveying the letter to the girl without her knowing that the authorities, of Pesaro have had any thing to do with it, and alto without her learning that it has passed through my hands ; and it would be well, perhaps, to lead her to supoose that the letter was sent from Bologna. The person who delivers it to her should offer to take charge of her answer, which you would be good enough to transmit to ma, and which I shall forward according to its address. What is doing with your I make no doubt of the bustle and trouble which the length of the Princess's fatiguing visit occasions. _ _ _ foe your endeavours, therefore, to make her embark, and try to persuade her that it is absolately tales that the English gen tlemen propose to come And Mid act at Pes.aro. I learn that that supposition induces her to delay her departure, and I think that in this manner she might wait a lorg time. Be assured, Sir, how alive I am to all your preccedinge ; and believe me, with sentiments of the most perfect esteem, Your very humble and obedient servant, WOMPT ED A, Minister of Hanover P. S. Is Hieronymus, the maitre d'notel, still with the Prin ces ? and do you think that he is still attached to her ? To Monsieur la Chevalier Bischi, Director•t;eneral ut the Police at Pesaro. Ileotr, MARCH 6, 1819, Sia,-1 have teceived with much gratitude your lines of the UM, and regret extremely the eni - uariassinuent and lie trouble imposed upon you by the favour winch 1 requested of you. I hasten, to consequence, to tell you that I decide for the measure which you propose in intrusting the letter to a person of your acquaintance who would hand it to Maul. B. without enyoinnig any other secrecy than that she delivery of it may not be seen by the limply of the Baron. It' Hieroniwua were w see it, Ido MK think there would be mos.!' danger.

I desire only that the person whom you may c.muse to execute the commission should five sufficient address, inspire sufficient confidence, to enable him to deliver the au.swer wi.icii Mtiemie D. eturn to the letter in questi,n, anal in respect to which I am anxious that it should pass through my lianas.

Oliveri towards the Princess,whose service he quits. %% hat opinion is to be Mimed of Vassals F I learn, likewi:e. that several new Roman servants have been rczeived, whose names I should be curious to know. Excuse all the trouble to which I put you ; nut being ahie testify to you sufficiently how grateful I am Mr all the plods of your zeal, and tin the kinthiess of the person wki has procured me so intercoins an acquaintance.

Director General of this Police at Pesaro PORTUGAL. ---t.-- The 'wheaten?. de Ihurdeaux coat:ling the fol lowing extract of a letter, dated Lisbon, Oct. II: "An linglibli ship of war entered o u r poll yesterday. She comes from Rio de Jaileilo, tidying on hois d Alat alba Beresfurd, who returns with the title of Marshal. attached to jhe person of his Majesty, which precludes him from ceallieing orders from any but the King himself. He has attlied too late. The Supreme Government has informed him that they cannot permit him to land, and all comma- ~~t Ideation. with Isis vessel are forhiddec To enforce that order the cons. is lined with troops, and several guard boats, cumusauded by officrrs, a e constantly upon lie watch. We continue to enjoy the greatest tranquillity." The following letter is from Falmouth, dated Oct. 28 :-- " Arrived the Ladg Arabella packet from Lisbon, in it days. Field Marshal Berestord came passenger in her, not having been allowed to land by the Provisional Go %women!, on his arrival in the'ragns, on board the i'engear man of war, from Rio Janeiro. They, however, got pus. session of the money which Lord B. brought with hint in the Vcngear and another vessel which arrived after her, for the payment of the troops. When the Veveer made her appearance, the feelings of the military and civilians heeatite a little roused; and, it is supposed that, had his Lorthhip persisted in landing, very serious consequences mild have followed, as lie has a strong party in his Is. your, especially among the former. The Yeageur sailed the same day the packet did, conjectured fur the Medi• lterranean." BILL OF PAINS AHD PENALTIES. MORAL CONVICTION.--NOOOP can reasonably object to the doctrine, that " moral Conviction" should, in this ease. prevail in the absence of "legal proof." But it is unfair to clump and routine the etrrecliog, virtue of this doctrioe, ho-e blessing ought in justice to he extended to the prose. color, The Queen must out monopolize all the advontsi,e ; she is generous, and wishes for the strictest impartiality,. In this view of the case, let us see how the matter stands. • That [(foment's opportune removal was by design, and for the purpose of pre.ventan. the detection of falselabod, as well its the expoosre of the baseness of several nameless iwrsons. i. without " legal proof," but our " moral conviction" of it is comph-te. That itsron d'Unde, and other witnesses for the Queen, were with one band invited by our Government, to come, and with th.: other deteried, is w ithaut " legal proof," but our" moral couvictive of it Is clear. _ 'nut the petty ttchniesilities or the Courts below were strenuously enforced for the suppression onrush, at a hun dred crises, when it was about to burst forth and cover the prosecutors with 1 icgrice, is without" legal proof," but our " moral conoiclioe is irr~wtslible. Tlutt the prosecution is ulioget her bottomed in conspiracy. bribery, and perjury, is without " kgal proof,' but our " moral conviction" of it is pet feet. That the degradation of the Queen is sought per fat awt aefal is without " kgal proof," but the " moral eanriaka" of it is universal. That Ministers nod Counsel for the prosecution are con •ineed of the innocence of her Majesty, and only seek to pass the Bill and degrade her, in the vain attempt to save themselves from degradation, is without " legal proof," but our" moral conviction" of it is equal to that of our existences Be this then the doctrine, sod give it play. Put all the moralconviction" of the Queen's guilt in one settle, arid cast all the " moral conviction" of the baseness, cruelty and infamy of the prosecution into the other, and even-handed Justice declare which side kicks the beam.
