But as to what transpired he eunkl see nothing is it to justify the interpretation which would be put upon it by 'Will( the instruction of the Noble Marquis. • The Lord Chancellor asked what was the question in the German ?

Mr. Broughint sub...wet, without fear of reproof or con tradiction, t h at this was a leading question. _ _ The Cord Chancellor concurred with Mr. Brougham.

' His Lordship pointed out one instance, which he said was a false traaslatiou. Lord Holland reminded the House, that whatever might be the imprissions of Noble Lords upon the subject, the House etiolil receive no translation except from a sworn bite/Teeter. Me. Brongloun implored the House to give him the bene fit of any (volutes. avtust her Majesty, so far se to protect the defence from soy translations except those gives by a sworn Interpreter. He entreated their Lordships to post pone bearing of this rvideore until a better Literpreser ' , o hl be substituted, or the Queen's Counsel could provide Ilientse:ves with one enviable of checking the errors which su , glit be committed by the present one. . . . The Attorto y.General said, that he had another Interpre ter at hand; wont., it please their Lord hips to have his sworn Afire a short discussion betweea Lord Enkine, Lord Liverpool, slot Lend Grenville, Mr. Eroughons said, he hewed their Lordships would stiffer no oilier Interpreter to be sworn, until he hail provided him self wish one also. It was nut his fault, nor that of his Learned Frie n ds, that they had no Gerona Interpreter pre. panel. They had procured an Italian one, but they did uut know that a German interpreter would be wanted. The NW which they would need might be ale African,oy a Greek loterprete r. Fur in the otter ignorance in which it bad pleased their Lordships to keep her Majesty, as to the sutures of the evidence, by refusing the list of WiiBClll4., it was impossible fur them to know be fore-hood what sort of persons they might want fur translators. The Altura( y-Gesierol thought this was going too far. He bad in his statement adverted to certain transonic's,s which were to he proved, which had taken place at Carlsruhe, a 1 Nuremberg, and either places in Gerunuy, euough, as be should have thought, to have sheets that some of the wit nesses would be Grimm. Mr. Brougham said, that the only way to avoid similar 1 difficulty would lie, fur the Attorney GOMM to let him know what interpreters would he wanted. He protested Heat In. dirt not know until they were produced that there were to he any German witnesses at all. By the Learned Gentleman's argument, the Queen's Counsel must provide Iliciaisels es with a Timisien, an African, noel a Syrian inter preter. Fur She Piineese had been in Jerusalem and the Holy Land, in Africa and in Asia; and the learned Gentle man had alluded to all her travels in his statement. Ha prayed their Lordship', as an act of bare justice, to post pone the exarnimitiun of the present witness uutil proper' bassi:refers timid lee procured. The Earl of :Burley spoke. The Duke of Hamilton said, that it was impossible to charge any pail of the blame arising front the present diffi culty to the Queen's Counsel; fur nut being allowed to know also were to be the witnesses against her Majesty,•lbey could net know what interpreters they would want. The Earl of Liverpool proposed to give time for getting other interpreters, hy calling another witness, end postpuniug the present exansinatiuu. Earl Grey said, that it was impossible fur a Peer to be expected to sit still, while he was li.tening to perverted or ignorant interpretations of evidence. He tan.' as much right to interfere as a Judie in another Court would un a sundae occasion; but it should be always done by that 1 C 4 r putting antelier question, the answer to which should be calculated to convey the explanation. The House could ieceire nu traidlati.in of evidence, hut from a sworn lu terpreter. Thee Lord Chancellor asked Mr. Brougham if he persisted in his objectors). Mr. Brougham would not urge any objection contrary to their Loidslaips' opinions ; but he wuuld, with their concur rence, maintain his objection. The Lord Chancellor thought it a very proper objection, and the examination of the evidence was postponed till ten o'clock to-morrow morning. The Earl of Liverpool raid thai the Queen's Counsel ought to he regaged to provide themselves with au Inter preter iii that case. Mr. Ciougham undertook that he would be so provided. The Lord Chancellor made wme remarks, but the stir iu the House became too great to allow (been to be heard. The Attoritry-Geueral submitted that no either witness should lw culled until the erne at the bar was examined, as it would distuill the arrangements of the ease. 'The Earl of Liverpool thought this a reasonable request fur the Atturney.General to make. The Lord Chasicallor wished to know the intention of their Lordships as to to-morrow's adj.ittrument. A mixed cry of " Four, four," and" Five, five," was set up.

The proceedings in the House of Lords fester. day were extremely interesting, but beyond this we know not whether we are at liberty to give any expression to our feelings. Complaints were made by the Learned Counsel on both sides, of state ments and opinions which had appeared in some of she daily Papers, and it is to be apprehended from a few words spoken on the subject by the LORD CismicstLoa, that at some future day the Lords will review the conduct of all the members of the public PICSB, and vindicate the privileges of the House in every instance wherein they might seem to have been violated. For ourselves we con entertain no fears. Pursuing with respect to the present proceedings the same course of honest inde ',claimer, which, we trust, has ever characterised our conduct, and being conscious of no feeling but such us is warranted by respect for the integrity of the Constitution and the principles of justice, we cannot have expressed an opinion at which any houe.t Member of Parliantent could take excep tion ; but it is impossible to flefine what either House of Parliament might, in its wisdom, think fit to call its priiileges, and the security which the general principles of law might stem to cast around the subject may in an instant be dissolved by a vote of either House. We are not sorry, however. that sonic notice has been taken of the general conduct of the public Press, as it will. we trust, have the effect of re. Stns . ' g in some degree the gross impropriety of expression in which the Treasury Prints indulge, when speaking of the effect of the present proce•d ings upon the character of the QUEEN. It is dif ficult, by imputing any ordinary motives of action, to account fur the intemperate malignity uniformly displayed by certain of the Ministerial Prints against this unhappy Princess;—it is difficult, we say, to account for it, because, in general, misfortune and suffering would in any generous mind rather miti gate than inflame hostility, and we do not believe that the Ministers of 'the Crown, who are the avowed p►esecutors of the QUEEN, are base enough to instruct their agents to fling every de grading epithet, every insulting calumny, upon ■ny individual who had '.en once placed at the tri bunal of justice. It cannot be conceived that these writers should entertain any personal enmity to wards their QUEEN, for it is not probable that they have ever come within the influence of her sphere, so as to receive any personal injury front her MA JESTY ; and yet it is certain that they all emu lously express theineelves with a degree of rancour and hatred towards her, greater, we are convinced, than is felt by any of the witnesses produced against her at the bar of the House of Lords, or by those at whose desire the present proceedings ha►e been institu ed. There is, indeed, one way of explain ing the circumstance, which is thus:—the active promoters of this prosecution, those for instance who instructed the witnesses, arid collected the evidence, having inflicted the deepest injury upon the QUEEN, as a necessary consequence entertain for her MAJESTY the most implacable animosity. A sufferer may forgive an injury, but those who inflict it are iocapable of such magnanimity ; they will pursue their victim with undying malignity ; and it is by the supposition that they who hove been personally active in getting up the present charges against the QUEEN, have a temporary control of the Government Press, that we account for the base and unmanly spirit that euvenoins the cohusinis of the Treasury Journals. Among the witnesses who were examiteol yester day, were Captains PF.CIIEi.L mild Barnes, of the ships Clorintle mud Leviathan. Rumour had been very busy with the names of these gallant officers, and had represented them as the most formidable witnesses egainst the QuEEN, but so little did their testimony affect her MAJESTY injuriously, that we are surprised at the ATTORNEY-GSNIRAL for having brought them forward. Capt. Pitatese statsd his unwilliegness to sit at the same table with BERMAN!. because he had previously seen him acting as a servant. Captain► BRIGGS, how ever, did not conceive himself retitled to scan 1110 birth roil parentage of every individual svhoun it might please the Consort of his Sovereign to hold in her suite, and feeling himself honoured by the presence of Royalty, he did not undertake the distri bution of its rays, or dictate upon whom it was his pleasure that they should shine. Possibly lie might find his self-constituted office of censor some what irksome in other places, he therefore very wisely A-a:lined from exercising it. AVe do not pretend to conjecture how Captain Pecnet.t. would have acted, haul lie been h o noured by an in. vitation to dine with the King of SARDINIA, and found at the table with his MAJESTY, who is right regally addicted to low company, some persons whom he lied pr. viously seen in less elevated society ; but we should have liked to have heard his answer to Lord OsTORD'S jud►cious question. had the House 4 suffered it to have been nut. Captain PECUELL • was not welted any questions by the Quesn's Counsel, and Captain Batons declared that he had never 'linefeed any improper familiarity between the Princrm and her Chamberlain. There were some other witnesses examined, whose evidence we have not time now to analyze. At a late hour last night we received the remain. ing Paris Papers of Tuesday, but their contents have been anticipated by the extracts which we published yesterday morning from the Juarnal de Paris of the same thy. The number of military persons arrested in Paris. in consequence of the discovery of the late atrocious conspiracy. dors not exceed 25. Among these were some officers of the 2.1 regiment of the King's body guards. They have all been handed over to the King's ATTOR NEY-GENERAL. The principal framer of the con. spine,. is said to be a Captain of the Legion of the North, named DEQUEVAUVILLIMI. who, it is be lieved, had served in the body guard of MURAT, when that person occupied the throne of Naples. The Paris Papers are very much occupied with the proceedings in rudiment against our Qum+. They confine themselves strictly to making extracts front the reports in the London Rapers. not ven turing to utter a remark ma upon the singularity of the scene. The death is announced of Madame BACCIOCHT, frenterly Princess of Promonto, and eldest sister of NAPOLEON 130NAPARTE. Time was, when such an event occurring in the Imperiul family of Bo• NAPARTE, would have been bewailed with every expres4ion of anguish in the obsequious prints of Paris! Flow are the mighty fallen! Thursday the Duke and Duchess Of CLANENCS, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER. the Princess AUGUS TA, &c. dined with the Duchess of KaNT, at her apartments in Kensington Palace. Yesterday the Princess AUGUSTA visited the Duchess of GLoucasTsa. The Duke and Duchess of GLoUCESTEa hail a party at d' r yesterday. Thursday evening the Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON had a numerous party at their house in Piccadilly. Ills MAJESTY'S Commitsioners of Lieutenancy for London have been Ideated to appoint Sir Cr.AuDIUS HUNTER, Mit. to he Colonel of the regiment of militia now raising for general service in Great Ordain. In consequence of the Address to the Queen. said to come from the privates of the Leicester militia, pains have been taken to investigate the matter, and to ascertain whether, in fact, any such Address did proceed from that corps, and if so, by how many of the iirivalcs it was sigord. We have had the follow ing letters communicated to os for publication, to chew the real state of the case, and with whom the measure originated : No. 1. "Leiersler, Atigngl_2, 1840.

Thomas Staines and Daunt Brookes, both of whom I have seen, and they declare they never saw the Address, nor heard it marl. I understand it was forwarded by Harris to Alderman Wood. It was not till six days after the regiment had completed the period of trainiicz, that this Adder's was drawn op, though it is au tedati d to July Et, three slays previous to its dismissal, to ani , wer their vile purposes.

ADDRESSES TO HER ALCIESTV. -,....._ The following Address was voted unanimously at one of the must numerous meetings that ever took place in the Common Hall of Sheffield. It bears the signatures of upwards of eight thousand Inhabitants of the Town of Sheffield : "Ts her Majesty Caroline, Queen Consort of his Majesty George she Fourth, King of the United Kingduit of Great Britain and Ireland, &c. " The loyal and dutiful Address of the Inhabitants of the Town and vicinity of Sheffield, in the county of York. " We, yourll4ajnity's most faithful suljrctr, beg leave to approach your Majesty with unfeigned professions. of alien lion for your Royal Peasnn; anal to congratulate your Ma. jesty on your return to this country—a country that now calls you Queen, and which we regret that your Majesty should ever have Wt. " In addressing you on this occasion, permit us to assure your Majesty, that the many deprivations you have ans. tabled have touched a chord in our hearts awl bound us to your Royal Person by the tenderest ties ("sympathy. Since your first arrival in this country, great and variuos afflic tions have befallen you; the prop and stay of your Illus trious Hoese Ms been withdrawn by the hand of Death; his late Majesty George 111. King of Eugland, your must gra. (ions friend mid powerful protector, now slumbers in the grave; and that satiated spirit, who called you mother—she on whim a nation's hopes and highest expectations were . fised, and whose untimely death filled every heart with mourniug, and every eye with tears, can no longer solace you with her affection. " Sincerely humming these deprivations, to which your Majesty has ken subjected, we offer you our condolence; and under the new affliction that now assails you, we heartily and must unfeignedly pray, that your Majesty, aided by the 'Actions of • loyal people,may finally triumph over your itemisers, and put to shame he foolishness of evil men. IVe heartily disapprove of and sincerely condemn that spirit of hostility which has too evidently charartmised the *UMW proceedings instituted against your Majesty; and the mode iu which they hare hitherto beeu carried 0000 0 se regard as harsh, oppressive, and repugnant to the liberal spirit of that constitution under which we live. •` le Air fret expression of our condolence, oar wishes, and opinions, persaii ns So assure your Majesty of our ad miration of the magnanimous conduct you have invariably displayed under circumstances and charges revolting lo your nature, ■od which we are fully 'pyramided rainbow but a feeling of conscious innocence could have enabled you so nobly to sustain.

" Though benefits ought In be written in marble, and Haile. in rbe dust, yet lbe injuries I have endured have been too many in number, and too grierious in kind, to be readily ohlitersted from recollection. But, though my memory retains the impression, I have nut suffered the spirit of revenge to rankle in my breast. It would have been well fur me, and perhaps nut 111 for the country, if my oppressor had hero as free from malice us myself; for what is it but malice of the most unmixed nature, ■nd the most unrelenting character, which has infest ed my pails, and way liid my steps, during • long period'of twenty.flve years Malice of this description, of suck lest continuance, awl such extraordinary intensity, hes cerfaioly bees productive of great !Rimy to myself; butt I msy well repress the sentiments of revenge, when I reflect that it must have heels productive of much more inquietude in that mind which could I.sten to its suggestions, and in that bosons which could 'cherish a spirit so adverse to goodness, and so incompatible with happiness." The following Address has been presented to her Majesty front the parish of St. Matthew, Bathnut. Green:— " To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. Te loyal sod dutiful Address of the Vestrymen of the Parish of St. •Matthew, tlethnxt•Greeu, in the County of Middlesex, io Vestry assembled : " May it please your Majesty, " We, your Majesty's most dutiful and faithful subjects, the Churchwardess, Overseen, Governors, and Directors of the Poor, and Vestrymen of the Parish of St. Matthew, Beth.. sal-green, beg to approach your Majesty to offer our mai meats of euudulroce and congratuisoloo at this momentous sad important crisis. " The painful bereavements with which it has pleased Provideurte to visit your Majesty, are events which hate proved as calamitous and distressing to your Majesty, as they have bete subjects of deep sorrow and afilictiou to this portion of your Majesty's people ; mid it is with feelings of unaffected regret that we condole with your Majesty upon these acute visitations, so afflicting in their consequences to your royal and parental heart, and so disappointing to the hopes of all your Majesty's keys' and affectionate subjects. 14 The arrival of your Majesty in this country, after an absence of several years, was an tenet which we bailed with sincere pleasure and gratification ; and we congratulate your 'Majesty upon your return to a people who have sever ceased to feel a participation is your many persecutions and sufferings, or to admire the firmness and generosity of your Majesty's mind. Much as we lament the determination which has been adopted, of preferring certain charges against your Ma jesty, which in their nature and proof are so repugnant to all mural feeliug, so pregnant with objectionable conse quences, and so hostile to every overtime lit of British jos. tiee and generosity; yet, in our estimatitio, the mode of proceeding which mark■ the progress of the accusation against your Majesty, is infinitely more important to the proper administration of public justice, and the interests of every subject its the British empire. Venerating the Consitution of this great nation, and being firmly attached to the House of Di unswick, we have beheld sills pi-L.(0%1.1d sorrow aid regret the extraordinary proceedings adopted towards your Majesty. Those principle• of public justice which form and govern the course of the amuses-, and also the safeguard and protection of the accused, appear to us to have been violated in the case of your Majesty; and a method of proceeding anomalous in its constitution, and oppressive in its character, has been instituted, alike de. trimeotal to your Majesty's cause, aid to the liberties and privileges of the people of this country. lu reviewing the various efforts directed against your Majesty's honour and peace, and the oumberleas insults which have been offered to your Royal Person, combined with the futile attempt to seduce the integrity of your Ma jesty by a proposition to compound your Royal and legi timate Rights and Title; we know not whether most to admire the magnanimity and diguity of mind which in stantly detected, despised, and exposed such machinations, or to express our indignation and disgust upon such at , tempts sad practices being disclosed. " The several severe trials to which your Majesty has been subjected, and the defeat of every attack which has hitherto been directed against your Majesty's honour and dignity, impresses us with the unalterable convittiou, that the daughter of the illustrious Duke of Brunswick, the Consort of our Royal Sovereign, and the Mother of oar ever-to-he-lameuted Princess Charlotte, is worthy of the honour, devotion, and loyalty of the People of this country : and that accusations preferred and supported by efforts every way reprehensible, and by means the tool{ objectionable, will, if persisted in, be a source of Leslie' regret to our selves, but at the same time a subject which cannot fail of animating, on behalf of your Majesty, the *chap of every honourable, indrprodent, sod generous Wad." To which Address her Majesty returned the lowing gracious Answer: “ The Churchwardens, Overseers, sad Vestrymen of the pariah of St Matthew, Betimal.greeo, are requested to accept sty cordial ihmks for this spontaneous tribute of affectionate gard.
