a of the kindness of her Bova! Miatreas." Thual harefore it appeared by the statement of the other sided hat Marlette was in such a situation .et enabled her tel peak to the t r uth of this, and if their Lordship did noti derive such itiformat:ott from the printed minetes, they; had it gratultotisly from his ',warred F-it ml. Mr.; Brougham. Ile asked therefore, why, after 'his sml I pledge, Mariette was lint called had soy %anal factory reason been offered for oithholtling her ? She had Lieen spoken of by the Counsel OH the opposite side in the highest trim., and the story she had to tell nes of the now important description. What fear could his Learned Friends have, what danger could they ap pti bruit in placing her at the bar to give her testimony? !he only interpretation that moth' be attached to her not Wits; called was, that full credit was to he given to. the story toll! by Ilkonotit, Anil he could not see lion it was possible for even the must ordinary capacity to entertain a doubt of the truth of the story. Rat Mil. riette was not the only person competent to speak to this tact, the Countess of Oltli was an equally competent ui:ness to prove precisely the same fact. It could he proved by the Couotetts of Oltli that her Royal High ness Was never out of her room the whole slight. Ilia Learned Friends however, had not Trimurti to place her at the bar; and vet they dill not hesitate to call it; their Lordships to reject the tea iinimiy of Demont to this particular. They had slime snore to enntinn the statement of 'Smoot, by their lnct in not producing a witness who could contradict it, than all the ditusy excuses they had stet up could possibly do to shake it. If their Lordships! were to decide on the case, according to the evidence before them, there never was, he appreheolled, a ease more distinctly proved. The evidence, pith respect to t 'mania was plete on one side, whilst none had been offered on the other. There was another tact which be nottid rail their Lordships attention to, which occurred at Turin. Their Lordships would remember the evi denee given by Borillo, on Whose character there was no impeaches...to, and who hail a three years character fur fidelity and good conduct frosts his master. Ile stated that being one morning charged to carry a message, he passed through. the room of Ilerganti, the bed in which dial not bear the appearance of hating ; been slept in ; and that after he saw liergaini come out of the bed-room of the Princess, with his night gown on, and dressed only in his drawers and atockings. In this case too the Countess of Obli might have been called, and indeed there was scarcely any point of the whole case which she might not have been called to speak to. She entered the service its order to assist in than intercourse which was going on ; and such was her position invariably that she might have thrown great light on every part of the case; and vet, throughout, she had been withheld. Ile would pass from this part of the case to the facts stated to hare occurred at l'arlsrulte, and confining himself to a few ohs rvetions on that p ••.it, which hail already been so ably and so fully ads cried to by his Learned Friend the Attorney-licneral The same itbservatioits is otsld apply to this part of the case as to alto,t ever y o th er , %is. that it was barren of any to idioee ni contradiction from the opposite side. It was some weeks since Barbara Kress hail appeared at the liar of that Muse, and non% ithstanding his Learnt (1 Friends had their agents in that tart of lieratany f.osit which that witness came, and possessed every opportunity to effect their purpose, no attempt hail been made to impugn her character. She swore positively anal distinctly to the fact, of hating seen her Royal highness on the lied stith Bergansi. It had been insinuated, in refutation of her statement, that it was not the Princess he saw on that °cession ; but lie asked how was it pte•—le she could he mistaken as to the person she Cleo saw, when that high personage was sitting before her in that House, at the moment she was giving her et idence, and stating positively, that she knew the person of her Royal Highness: What was the answer to this suggested on Ilse other side? it by, that it was the Countess of 0141 i, instead of her Majesty, whom toe witness saw upon t: at weasion ! If it was so surmised, they might have Paved the fact, by calling the Countess of .1s this bad out been t: stir, it was clear, liresse was nut mistaken. Vassali, it gas true, hall been called, and had displayed a most marvellous kind of memory ca theanhjeet. He could recollect, although at the dis tance of four years, how her Majesty had employed every slay during her stay at Carlsrhae, where she dined every ho day, and w she tilled up every interval of time. tint was it possible to put the evidence of Vassali in opposi tion to the evidence of Keen ? After all, It Ito was lie? pensioner of her Majesty's, a friend to Berg:mai, and one who was actively entpioyed in collecting witnesses, servicing large moms of money for that purpose, and attogether is c pletely identified with the defence as to feel every interest in supporting it ! Ile asked them if t; is was the kind of witness to be put in opposition to hresa. As a specimen of the marvellous good memory ef dais gentleman, he would call their Lordship's at t Annan to the circumstance in evidence of Bergami a hay ing retired from the table when her Majesty was dining, conaequence of illness. It was admitted, that her Majesty returned early to the inn on that occasion, ..hout seven o'elock. Vaaaali was able posiOvely to swear, that her Royal llighnesa upon her return went tt•to the saloon, and remained there during the whole of t'le evening after. Was it possible to believe that , Peels was the fact ? Rut while he Was at that part of t'..e case which refit: red to l'arlsrulse, hoe must not omit t. remind their Lordships of another fart which hors confirmation of the strom, est description to the state toent of Kresse. Hr alluded to the circumstance of ILe cloak being fount! in tire bed. This cloak was given to a serpent of her Royal Highunta,and was arter y arils worn by her. No explanation bad been attempt ed to lir given of that fart ; and it stood therefore in strong confirmation of the fact which it was etentled to disbelieve. It was said that his I. arced Friends suffered in consequence of the absence of Baron D'Entlr. For his part, he did not believe they I td suffered, and he had as much right to say as his LeartisolFriends had to say, that his appearance could assist their case. To judge from the evidence, V- thought a most clear and strong case was r - sole out by that relating to Carlaruhe alone.-- rhen it turned out that Rastelli had been Relit away,; ti en the storm burst out, and their Lordship were calm' noon in angry language to dismiss the whole jroceeding. Mr. Powell was then examined on this and his examination pros rd, that there was no I motive in the transaction. Their Lordships Mr. Powell to produce a private eorrespon , explain the absence of Rastelli. He did not ! complain of their Lordships order. 'I he correspondence produced—it proved the correctness of Slr. 1 Pow statement, that he had not been actuated by any ler motive, and that he had acted with perfect ith throughout. Indeed the best vindication Polrell was to be collected ft om the circumstance had no idea he should be called upon to pro correspondence, and his statement was in conformity with that correspondence.—, _ ryas, V.

One circunistanee respelling Waste:Ws absence, hail I been commented upon very considerably by his Learned Friends. It appeared that one induce went for sending him away VIVI the desire that hr should get certain documents legalized. Ilia Learned Friends had asked what use could Ens-' sibly be made of these doe •nts in this cause ? Ile , would tell them. These documents referred to Iles eami, while he was confined in prisms ut !Ai. They referred to his conduct there ; and it was highly pro bable that these documents might lie made Alailaille is evidence. A.ttacks had also been made upon a very respectable officer. Col. Browne. After paying a Wlllllll compliment to the Colonel, the Learned So licitor proceeded to a coosidera.ion of the evidence of Poiliarti, who had been produced for the purpose of fixing an imputation On Col. Itrowoe. Pumarti, south, was a youth of 2:?, seduced by ;11 acarti. (1 he Learned Solicitor velem:4 to l'omarti's evidence.) It seemed he was easily seduced, to betray his master's confidence, for he was, lie said, a coofiAcntial clerk. lie said, he afterwards repented ; but it came out, that after his repentaiare, he had several times gone to tile seen- wicked Vilittaearti for his hire; a nd hail given wore papers to him. It wassail, that Colonel Browne ought to have been brought forward in time, and that he, (the Learned Solicitor) and his Friends must hare known it was necessary, or they would not have been able to cross-examine Pomarti altls so r b effect. lie would tell his Learned Friends the means of that effective cross-rtainimition. Whets Poutarti appeared so anxious to betray his mas ter, Colonel Browne suspected that the clerk was in concert with the master, to deceive h;tii, (the Colonel); and he therefore wrote over a full account of the circumstance, and trot.' that account the materials for the cross-examination Lad been collected. It tt as upon the testimony then, ut such a person An l'uniarti, that his !warned Friends attempted to impeach the character of a respectable and gallant officer; itsid alien ever it nits attempted to defend ;dm or any one else connected oil!' the Milan t oimuission, they were told it was nonsense to say a ts twit in defence of the Milan t 'onouission. lint day after slay they were assailed by I abuse, although not a !•114410W of evidence had been offered to alfect their integrity, the purity, or the pro priety of their conduct. Ile did not mean to say that all the subordinate ageeta of the 'onituission had a cted with propriety, but he cuniidently affirmed there was not the least room fur attaching odium !sr them person ally. Mush had been said by his Learned Friends of the difficulties under which they made toe detente, anti the old topic was resorted to of the want of a list of the witnesses. It was known that such a list was only given in cases of High Treason. In these cases the witness bad suds a list a few slays before the trial ; but in the present case the accused land not only a list of the it it nesses, but she had the whole ut the evidence, and was allowed the full time asked by the Advocates for her to prepare her defence. The objection that they had no snifieient opportunity to cross-ex amine could not b.• supported, for their Lordships had afforded the Queen's Counsel every facility to elicit the truth, by calling bark some of the witnesses, and in two instances this tins t ersititted, although Mr. Brougham bad declared that he should nut desire to call that witness back. lie would therefore contend, that so far from her Majesty labouring under any eifficnlty, there never was an accused in Court, who possessed so many advantages. " But," said the Learned Counsel, " I re joice at it. I am glad that • • facility has been af forded to her ;Majesty, for this is a ease in which your Lordships ought not to proceed upon conjecture or loose suspicion ; but ni -vidence which must establish the charge beyond the possibility of douht. It is for you to consider the mass of evidence is Lich has been laid before you, and to say whether toes: charges have been sitb. conflated. My Lords, I now take soy leave of this long, teal:taus and laborious offire which has peen cast upon me by your Lordship' order. I cannot, however, take that leave without thanking your Lordships for :he courtesy and kindness you have shewn use oust she Learned Friends, and whirls has ronsitlerab!y assuages! the pain °four lalionrs. In retiring from your Lail ships Bar, we should he guilty of great ingratitude if or slid acknowledge that kindness. Never did a cue come before your Lordships of suds moment which was fol lowed in his progress by such universal attention. I hi the part of the defence, every passion has beets apealed to; hut of that I du not complain. Her Majesty's Counsel have most ably discharged their duty. I rejoice, that the Queen 01 England, bus on this trial been defended by such a powerful array of talent. that on the part of the defence, even the basest of passions Isis been restarted to—the passion of fear. You have bee?) told, that if you pass this Bill, you will cot aaaaa it an act of suicide upon yourselves. Another of my Learned Friends told you, that if you passed this Bill, yon would do it at your peril. His words hung long enough neon his lips, to warrant this con struction of hi: meaning. I am astonished that any Learned Friends should have resorted to suck topics, whirls cannot hunt injore her Majesty's rause. I know well, my Lords, that there is one thstig yon will nut dare to do. lots will ma dare to commit au act of injustice. lint do justice I ass Bllll* you will, regardless as to the consespeures, whether threatened or probable. Not in this place only, but out of doors, lass every at tempt been made to intimidate you. The name of her Majesty has been used for this purpose, but I la see no doubt it has been without her concurrence. Every thing dear to us have heels threatened with destruction. The Constitution, the Sovereign and the 31onarchy have been menace-I. I cannot suppose her Majesty's name to these acts has ht ea used with her approbation, for if I slid, I must suppose she aimed at the Constitution. I , fully acquit her of any such intention ; and I sincerely say, that if in looking at the evidence in this case, and giving it your most serious consideration in your winds of hrr Majesty's guilt, and yet believe that that guilt has not hero proved by the strict Mules of Law, Moen I will join my Learned Friend, Mr. DENMAN, in beg ging :hat , ou will say to her Majesty. in the language ufScripture, "Go, and sin no snore. - lint it on the other hand yon sl Id feel satisfied upon a rains and dispassionate review of the whole case, that that guilt i has been legally established, then knowing what I do of the temper and firmness of this tribunal, I ant sure your Lordship will pronounce your decision in a manner becoming pone exalted station. After a short poste Mr. Mot:Guam rose and said, that he should not discharge his duty to his client if lie did not offer for their Lordships consideration the letters he had spoken of on a former day respecting the conduct ' of Baron Ihupteds, and he conceived that by analogy to the rules of other courts, all evidence for the accused was admissible before final judgment. A police agent of the government of Rome, had been endeavouring to seduce the servants, by the name of Otnpteda. Ile it was who carried on a communication b e tween Demon , . and her sister Mariette Brunette. Whilst Desnont WWI in the hands and the toile of the Milanese Commissioners, a curreepondenee with her sister upon that subject, had been conducted by wins of Baron Ottipteds, Minister of Believer, sad agent of Count llnnster. Among the names mentioned in these letters, not only Mariette Brunette's appeared, bet ilieronymous was one of whom they had some hopes. Others were mentioned, and Colonel Olieieri amongst the rest. Particularly at a time when he was expected to leave the sery ire of her Royal Ilighness. Ilntptrda had also teanti that some Homan servants bad been Itireil,end they are immediately the objects of his attention. •• I should be curious to know the names of these Roman servants," says the Worthy Baron, and. continued the Learner' Counsel ; donhtless. if he attained that knowledge, they would have partook the benefit of the thousand louts d'ors with which they had been furnished, who carried on the Odle of sedu cing the servants. After this, be trusted it would not he said, that the Baron Ompteda was a person against whom touch had been said and nothing proved. The .le-roaxer-(l ex declared this to he • repe tition of one of the most extraordinary applications. that ever was made in a Court of Justice. If be (the Attorney-II 'nerd) had made such an application, their Lordship, would have found Mr. Brougham again bnrsting out with his exclamation—" Now, my Lords, I ash, is this a Court of Justice." Ile believed one main object of his Learned Friend irorared to him to be, an opportunity of making another speech at their Lord ships liar; otherwise he would not have entered into 1 comments upon what had been said in reply. What was the nature of the evidence now offered? The letters were to be produced, as he understood, to prove a connexion with the Aldan Co iiiiii ission. If not, he could not see that there was a shadow of pretence fi• , offering them. Bat heappreheniled, that on no pretence whatever, could it be said, that the letters ought to he received. Could the Conver •ations and declarations of such parties be received as evidence? If not. he contended that letters being no thing wore than written conversation, neither could they he received. If his Learned Friends had not pos sersed evidence to support the allegations which they haul previously made at .bat bar, respecting the Baron Ompteda, their conduct h. d been most nolvecolving, and now it had conic out that they actually had no %nth evidence. In no stage of the proceedings could they have produced these letters. because there was no evidence of agenry - . They had all along heard of the contents of letters, without their being produced, in tended to influence their Lordships decision, and to serve other purposes nut of that House. Pet hips his Learned Friend would have no objection to read the dates and addresses of the letters. li,4ouGuasu.—l have not the least objection to read yon the whole of the contents.—(A laugh.) The Arlon N Es-tiEsenat gave his Learned Friend credit for his adroitness, and doubted not but he had all along rendered it of considerable advantage to his client. lie was confident that the present topic was only introduced for the purpose of creating another diversion from tie real state of the case. Mr. Ilitot - cu eat read the dates of the letters, and said, that with respect to the pers in to Whom they were addressed, if he were not allowed to prodm•e I the leiti•rs, he did not know that lie on. rs ht to mention his name. beeilltSt• he was a person bolding a public sta r t.on---he is a director of the polic- at Pesaro. What we should rill here in the Home Department—(a laugh)—au agent of Isis Holiness the Pope. In the attack which his [retuned Friend had made upon him, lie had begun with attacking him for having kept the letters for the pur pose of producing them at a particular time. This was abundoutal, and t hill he was attacked for not having pro (laced them earlier, and in the nest place fur having pro duced them too early. If lie hail delayed bringing them longer, he should have laid himself open to the first at tack. He hail been triumphantly asked why he did not produce oiariette and Ilieronyinous. lie wasafraid that 1 they might have been in the trammels of Ompteda, and now he found that lie had been right. If in an iiii!neky hour he haul put them to the bar, lie might hare found them turn round, and prove to he his Learned Friend's . (the Attorney-tienerars) with , instead of his own. 3lajorchi ha'd represented that there was one Maurice Credi had beets employed as an agent. AvrtiIiNLY•UESEIIAL.-1111 what page of evidence did that appear ? lor. Banes:it tNI.—Oh, I know very well it is in the evideace. Ile then read part of the evidence that re ferred to Mr. Cooke, who went to Frankfort for the purpose of examining Credi. Art oestxv-tireresat..—Mr. Brongharn, I wish to know in what page of the evidence that al peered? Mr. Bitortinom --My Lords, i have no objec tion to quote the page. But I am sure if I had correrted my Learned Friends every unit. that they mistated the evidence, I should he kept eniployed pretty busily. And really, in the present instance, I feel obliged to toy friends, for directing me to the evi deuce, fur on inspecting it, I find it is much stronger than I exported.—(A langh.)—lie then referred them to the page of evidence 47. fie complained of their not producing that same Maurice Credi. If he could have got him, lie would have produced him, and examined him. It was immaterial to him where this man, whether in the custody of the Milan Commission, or in a natio verian fortress, or whether in that confortable garden, as well fortified, as either the Hatch or Milanese fortresses, that fortress in the immediate vicinity of that House, if he could get at him by any civil process, lie would have brought him to the der and examined him. He therefore called on their Lordships to receive that evidence, as necessary to the administration of justice. Tit-ir Lordships were sitting there as a legislative body, deliberating whether they elionlll pass a Bill of Pains and Penalties, and as the only question to which lie etiiiiil speak, was whether that Bill should he read a second time, he entreated their Lordships to receive it as rvideuce. Their Lordships were not to pro ceed in this instance as in the Courts below. '1 hey were mot sitting there to try an issue. He wish ed to 11041 they were. But they were sitting to decide, whether a Bill should be passed, to ruin eternally the Queen of England, under the semblance of slate necessity,. without a shadow of proof, without any such necessity existed, but which was urged by an interest ed party. The Arroextv.o6,ll.ll4l. complained of the course that had been pursued by his Learned Friend, who had availed himself of that opportunity of affecting their Lordships minds, under the pretence of speaking to the subject before theta. tie was again recurring to his old custom of endeavouring to persuade the House to re ceive these letters as evidence, because, indeed, he said, it was essential to the interests of the Queen. I With respect to tit • evidence, as if it should be received, he had no fears. But lie could not avoid expressing it as his opinion, that their Lordships should regulate themselves by the riles which they had observed all through this proceeding. He thought that the bold as sertions of Mr. Broughafti were not borne ont by the evi -1 deuce of Lierreaoar lluteaa,a, namely, that Maurice Credi had sworn that the Baron Ompteda was cow -1 cerned in these pro eedings. lie arun repeated he had no (cars as to the ultimate result, even if the evidence should be received. Bet be said, that these ',pork which Mr. Brouham then o ff ered, had no bearing on the case now be fore their Lordshil a. lie protested both against the period, and the manner in which these papers had been °trend.

He should th.'re. fore ronclude by moving " that these papers b e r , eeived." Earl OM' observed, that at the commeneemo o d of this investigation, lie had stated his objecti on 10 Bill of Pains and Penalties, which he consier- l coed never be justified except lay %lime strong anal preasisr state necessity, which viola{ he assisted by no other Ir. Such state necessity lie dial not think am ri _ fisted, and he had recorded 11:s opinion to tliateg o o h r entering his protest aoainst the Bill. Bn o n .i r Lordships having entertanied the nseasnre, occupied for 40 or 30 il_tys in hearing evidence furs* against this Bill. At the commencement of the pm. melting, their Lordships hod, without aliando:ing their right not to be fettered in their iniotirie.: by Ilea practice of the Courts below, ronsented to have their proceedings regulated by the rules which were oh. served in those Courts. The question now was, who they in the last stage of th.• business they would de p irt from the rules they ?owl hitherto ()harry al Tee Learned Lord on Ole Woolsock had state,l, and he (Earl Grey) agreed with him, that the prtiors offered would not be evidence in the Courts of I. iw. la that case the question was how for they were .ra material as to render a deviation from their ustt.l vractice e .- pedient ? His Noble Friel' I (the Duke of it an oloo had said that th se papers iiii 4 ht be neces.ary in order to go into as inquiry on the subject of the Milan Commission. He agreed with him, that th o ought to be spade the subject of inquiry, and Le sopposed such inquiry would be lung and tedious, but was alts the proper time or place for it ? Ile did not think so, and therefore, bow, ver reluctantly, he uotthl vote agrost the motion. The Earl of CARNARVON rose to support the wi thin. Ile was carry to differ from his Noble Friett•l (Earl Grey) on this or any point, but in every clew which he took of this motion he thought it ought to he complied with. Their Lordships were not then sitting merely as a Court of Justice. Their present occupation was of a mixed character. '.'hey were acting at once as Judges and Legislators. lie would admit with his Noble Friend, that as Judges they might be confined to the ordinary rules a ; but could they as Leoislators consider themselves honed by those rules ? They were now called upon to decide upon this most important measure, and bow Is • asked, could they come to a fair and inrartill decision without inquiring into the whole eltara:ocr of the pro. ceetlings, without knowing this was an honest English Bill, or a German conspiracy ? If they sought In- infer motion on this important point, (anal he maintained that they were bound to seek it,) their inquiry ought to he full and complete; but how could it he either. if they rejected the evidence now proposed to them ? Would they as a jury pronounce a verdict, where they knew that evidence was at hand which would 'nor: fully ex• plain the nature of the case before them ;—would they, he asked, conic to a dec'sion without going into such evidence? As judges, he had said, they inioht per haps be bound by rules which would exclude such evi• dance, but this did not apply to them is their character of legislators. Could their Lordships think of coming to the horrible vote without hearing what was offered on this most important sufijoo connected with the ease —rould they aid the band of power extended to ernsh an individual, and then shelter themselves under their mixed characters as judges and legislators? He hoped for the sake of honour—.,l justice, they would not. Let them recollect that the eyes of their country, dial the eyes of the whole world, were at this moment filed upon them; anal without shrinking from the perform. sore of their duty, let them take cart' that justice was done to the people of England--that justice was done to the Illustrious accused which it was their duty to do, and which their country expected from them. He concluded by declaring his full concurrence in the motion of Isis Noble Friend. _ _ Earl fidosreivott felt regret at bring obliged to dif fer from his Noble Friend who made this motion. At first he was induced to give it his support, but when he recollected that the general prinCiple neon whirls it went was already derided, he thought it beset lilt it should not be urged in this stage. He wa!ef 10* idols that their Lordships, if they went into the itspitt? respecting a conspiracy in this ease, tbey ought se to go into it partially, hat he thought that suet as inquiry as the motion poi's:A mu%t be partial and is effectual. It was therefore better not to ge into it at all at present. At another time it would be the enlr jest of investiwation, and then he slmuld have no ub jeetion to enter into it fe;'y. Lord llos.t..txo surge.ted, that if this evidence was to be received, it would then be incumbent on them te go (nether into the inquiry which would by that meals be opened. For his own part, he felt himself quite exhausted by the length to tibias the main investie lion hail already extended. Illis reason, however, Gt the vote that he should giro on this question, ass — and it would afford hint great satisfa..tion to find thsi other. were equally influenced by the . same reasons-- that be to a determined to vote against tite bill itself. on principles which had often been maintained in tbst house on former occasions.—{Her.-.)—fle did tbisk also, that no man could give au honest vote the** , way, without first sifting and eta:Hitting every putt of toe subject, and acquainting himself with the yell means by which this pross•cur.un bad been set on tort.
