Do you believe that he was dressed every night that be repose/1 stunivr the tent The Solicitor-Genet/LI %objected, and the question was over killed. Of what nation were the crew of the vessel' Neapolitan ind &ohs's. I think you slated that half the crew kept watch on deck during the night Yes. You slated that you conceived it was necessary for some person to sleep under the teat with her Royal Higlmes, —what grounds bad you for that opinion There were no groan& mentioned to nie; lout I never considered it ado r wi.e thaw iseceasary ; whew her Royal Highness was sleeping by hers. tf on deck, I Arnold have thought it nut right for her t . lw I. ft withont some one to guard her. Dial know any of the seamen ? None of them ; I never kaw them In A.re. Moil her Royal Highness ever men them hrlure? Cer tainly not—the vessel was hired at Messina while her Royal Highness was at Canetic Voss stated that the Princess often walked arm in arm with Bergansi—has she ever waked in the same manner with any other persons? Ye., frequently the has walked with me, Count Schiavini, and other gentlemen whu have visited the Villa d'Este. Yon have mentioned an order of Knighthood which was creased, pray who were the Knights? 1 was one myself; young Austin and Hierossynise., and I think Camera, were others.; Dr. illurheDi. I think, was one also, be cense wiener of his having attended her Royal Highness as far as Naples, to go on the voyage, from which he was prevented by Isis own government. Was Dr. Moehetti an actual Knight, or only an honorary Knight? lam 'tut quite sure. Of the number of persons you have usesliosed, exclusive of Dr. Holland, did the whole c.susist of persons who had been at Jerusalem with bee Royal Highness? Of t►e Knights, believe that they were all; I never beard of any body else, except Dr. Holland, and I am nut certain whether he was one Of not. %Vio I weal to know is This, whether the (hde►, such as ii was, was conferred on all the sense who were at Jeri's.lent with her 'toys! Highness? No; only on the persons I have men I ironed. Mr. Tindall woo asked whether he might be permitted to put ■ (location whirls ought to have bren asked in the en *monomania in chief' The Lord Chancellor said, the question might he pot, hut thus the Conavel 09 she other side must have the !lite, ty of cross-examining on that question. Was ilirre any Esselush saikw on board the pulacre Yes, there was as far as Athrus. What became of him ? He went home from that place. Have you eve► twee bins since ? Never. Have you ever before been examined by any person on the subject of this impoiry?- I'be Attorney. General objected In the qnealion. Mr. fironghain said, his Learned Friend had examined very largely as to .bat instructions might have been given by any one to the witneva on the subject, and bow often Iw• had MVO any body concerning it. The Lord Chancellor thought the question might be answered. I would ask you whether any application has al any time been made to you for information on this subject, on the part of his Majesty's Government ? The Attorney General objected to the question, nothing of the kind having been alluded to in the croni.exantioinai A Peer, whose name we could not learn, said, that any Peer might ask the question afterwards. The Attorney-Geoids, then said ha waived the objection. The qnestion was thee repeated. I received an order to attend at the Admiralty, where I was asked oriels! saw James last ; except that, no ap plication has liven made to me. Was that the Eoglisb sailor that was on board the pe lmet*? It wm. By the Earl of Roseberry— You have slated that you saw her Royal Iliglnw•ss at breakfast at Genoa; did that occur frequently Only snore that I temembt•r. You did ant see Remount ■t breakfast at that time? He was in the rums, at the time, but he appeared to lie waiting, be was not sitting down Was there any other servant iw the room at the time ? Not that I remember. I wish to rend to your recollection the tent under which her Royal Highness repos, d on the journey from St. Jean d'Acre to Jeramlons; was it ■ woggle or a double tent ? It W 4. a 11011 We scot ; ■ common 5,115, over which was raised a iship's melting, which formed a kind of gallery round it. De you recollect any body sleeping or lying in that gal lery ' I never saw any body sleeping there ; I have seen servants there, and I have also seen a mattress lying therr, but I tower smw any body sleeping there. Do you, isi point of fact, know whether any lady slept there or I du tout. With reaped to 11w• tent on board the polarre, could any body that was upon deck omen it? I should thick they could, where the canvas was separated Do you know if it ass fastened inside at That part? du nut. . When you went up the holder to the lent, as you say you have dune enure thus once, did her Royal High's's. speak to yon? No ; I ran sop the lathier, and finding nut ray mis. take, went down again immediately; I hardly gut my bend isp to the combings of the hatchway, when bailing the tent was closed, soul her Royal Highness had lain down, I retired. I thiuk yuu said that was after the light was put out ? Via. Then your only knowledge of her Royal Flightless being in the tent was fri.m its being closed ' That is all. Do you know if any other person slept under the tent be sides Itrrgassei HMI the Proncess during that voyage? 1 Jo lint know hut Cum my having heard that others slept there; 1 'lever 113V1 them. Mr. Heiman objected, dial that was not of the witness's own knowledge, sod could out therefore be evidence. Tilt' Loral Chancellor Willi, the only observation he had to make was, that tbe witness had said Ilse same thing before. The quest ttttt answer• relative to Hergaun's sleeping under Ilse trot being now read over, the Noble Lund ceralcd— Theo she question I now put is, whether y o u bona , or believe any other person to have slept under the tent dar ing that voyage but the two before torsitiuwed ? I do out Imam it but by hatiei g heard it. lu the juurory from Hume, you have 'talc's that it doer • • . . pet strike your recollection which of the couriers acmes. panted the Priiteeew—have owe istilidestio Malik it in per recollectioa ?

By Earl Grey—Wheb you mated that you thought it me. mosey that some person should skip near her Rpyal High. nests on deck, did you mein stoner wide? I •did n that. ender Ohs circumstances in eseleitit you believe &mai to bare slept ',sister the tent, do you *Mk it degrading to the statism of her Royal High's's*? No. Ido rut. Ry she Furl of Liverpool-04u Mr. Itrorseani say where Captain Flynn slept daring the voyage G u m sitti t ? He slept in kis cabin, but be fiequently bad Wirral bung on deck. Du you believe that, during the whole or greater part of the voyage, Capt. rlynn slept in bill cut on slrck ! Idu not know ; bat I have frequently sera his col hem( on deck. Ilid the witness act as private Secretary to her Royal Hieheems tea. I wish toknow whether he knows if the %trona was par. chased by ber Royal Highacss, sad afavtattls given by her to Beraanti?— Mr. Dennsail said hr must object to this question, bemuse in the routhlential intereosum of the situation Ailed by the wifeless, It was possible that he weight 'mow something of the contents of deeds, which might cousey such an impres sion to his sited; but he submitted that was not such evi dence as their Lanissisips could go into. The Earl of Liverpool said be uuiy wished to ascertain the fact. The Lord Chancellor made sone observations in • very tow lose. The Earl of Liverpool then said, he wished to oak whe. then the Wlllll.ll knew W the narlilla britillted lu nerved ? I do not know at t►is ntnestent, bat I believe it was his. Do rots know whether Berg:and is in possession of the Barone? Ido not know whether ►e is at the present mo ment. Du yoe know whether be has ever been so' 1 baiter he has; I do Out know for eetteni, only I believe so. Was not the name changed to Villa Bergson; was it not called Villa {kremlin ' It was. By the Marquis of Isitsdown—Do you know where the Countess Oldi and Yu-amine slept ea the journey to Jeru salem' I think Ike Countess Oldi had a tent of her own, but 1 do not know whethe► she slept in il, or in the tent with s o use of the ehlmhermaids. And Vietorine ? Ido not know. When you soy you may have men her Royal Highness and Beritnmi walking arm is atm us !be deck ..f Ike polaere, do you meats that her Royal Highness may have bee■ Wis. ion on his arm? Yes. Did her Royal Highness, on hoard the palace', less on your arm in the same manner ? It is very possible, but do 110 i recollect the point masked; but her Royal Highness has walked arm ise arm with me very often. The Earl of Lauderdale said, he believed the wittiest had before said she was obliged to take Bergaini's arm. Two or three voices — " No; that she might." The Earl of Landerdale said, the impression of his mind was, that the doubt was expressed only as applying to the lime they were at Syracuse. The Marquis of Lamidown resumed. During the period of your residence is Daly, have you ever seen any representation, either al her Royal High ness's house, or at any other place, where the characters of Harlequin sod Columbine were sustained as they are in a harlequin:kite in England All 1 east recollect is, that I have seen Luigi Biergami to a Harlequin's dross man Man once. Can yes say whether you have eve► ere. tire pert of Mar leqrsin anstairred in Italy, the same as it is le Reglead, without speaking? No, Idu net believe I ever did. By bard Consbermere—On the occasions *hew yen say you believe Berganii slept seder the tent, have yew nay ret ais to think that any third pergola slept there? I die eel know. Will you serer that you never sew Bergs' kiss her Royal Righisese? Never. By Lord Liinerick—Yun have stated that you theragist it necessary for ■ peruse to skip in the feet with her Royal Highnesr, I beg to ask what you coaceiverl that acerality to to arise fro& I conceive that the circusastaince of a we. Mae alone, on the deck of a vessel on the epee sea, soiree'. telly silt bruised her Royal Higheess to have sense person nrar ker. Would sot that urcessity be met by some of her Royal Ifighaess's museseroms suite having a hammock slang Go the deck, or by some person mounting guard? The thought suggested itself to Ise, and if it had, Coast ftchistrini, who was quite unused to ship-board, could mot he expected to keep watch on a s►ip'. Beek. Cook' not a hammock have bees .bang as well for goose other permit as fur Lieut. Flywn Liam. Flys. bewsght up his hammock for the beweiht of the cool air. Would mot elseseeessiiy bore brew mei, if a female hod been plated in the tent instead of a nub., or a female in addition to a male person? I can't say ; as for that test ier, the.e might be twenty ways ; besides, we might all base slept on the outside as well as one. Was it any part of the orders given to the officer of the watch, to watch specially the person of the Princess? Ido not recollect. The officer of the watch was the mate of the •essel. Was any suspicion eulertsined by you of the crew? Theo, taut having formed any suspicion of the crew, did you think it necessary for a aisle person to sleep in theism, tent, in the dark, with the Princess of Wales? I looked upuo it in that way. IN what way? That under the circumstances it was sot improper. Do I underetand the witness to say, that he does not see any impropeiely iu a male pergola sleeping is the same tent, in the dark, with a f.•mnie? The passages down below were all open, and all the doors open; there was 110 mystery in it whatever. I understand that Lieut. Bowes's is serried : world he have soy objection, or consider it improper, if Mrs. How- Pam should so sleep in a kilt, i■ the dark? I think that every man ought to look 1.111 his wife without making a com parison. I made am comparison. I can't furor an opinion upon it. Mr. Brougham objected to part of the last answer of the willies@ appearing on the minutes. The words, " I made nu comparismt," would intimate, that the witness wished no comparison to be made bellows Mrs. Huwuam and the Illustrious Personage iu question. The Earl of Limerick said, he had not meant by his quesiiou to make any eumpariews ; and he did not think he had done so. The Lord Chancellor said, that if Mr. Brougham thought proper, he could through him put say yerstiou to the wit ness, teacher; to explain any pert of his answers to the Noble Lord. Mr. Brougham said, he slid not seam to object to the rouse of txrunitieti ~,, ; but it was to that sort of interlocu tory remark, " I make, or I made no cumparisioa ;" which he thought ought riot to •Scud on the Inmates as part of the answer. _ The short-hand writer was here directed to read over the last question and aumwer, after which the examivation by the Earl of Limerick was resumed. I wish to know whether, is your opinios, the lest being so Open to below, you saw no impropriety in a malt and f.miale so sleeping ? I cmsiont believe that there was say im propriety in it. I have seen so matey situations that her Royal Highness has been placed in that I du out look spun it as improper. What du you m►s■ by lsavisg sees her Royal Highness is so massy situations ? I have seen the Princess of Wales is • shed of so wretched a nature, that in this country a per. sou would hardly put a cow into it, amongst Jews, Terks, sad all steseriptioss of people. In the earlier part of your cross-examination, you said that you knew not where !kernel slept un board the but after a great number of questions you said that you be. lip ved that ISergassi slept is the same tent as the Prisons ; I wish to know +hat was your reason fur not staling that earlier is your cross examisation ?

Tl - I I.: 1311. IT iSii PIIESS 1.1 ...--"•140,-.."-.-^ir.-"" lON I)ON, THURSDAY, OLTOISFR 12, 1820. The whole of yesterday was occupied in the House of Lords by the resumed cxaminatitn►, cross ezemivati 4444 and re-cxemina►ion of Lieut. How and if the importance of a witness. testimony be a sufficient justification for the length of time it consumes, the day was well spent in receiving the deposition of Lieut. HOWRAII. From April 1815 to the present time, Mr. HOWNAM has been in at tendance upon the QUEER, and therefore accom panied during those several journeys by sea and lend, and formed a part of her household in those several places of residence which have been the sub jects of inquiry in the proceedings now• pending. No person. therefore, could be better qualified to form an opinion upon the general demeanour of the Illustrious Defendant during that period of her life, or to mark the relation in which BERGAIII seemed to stand towards his Royal ,Mistress. The witness hoedown himself to be au intelligent awl erosible men, not likely to overlook any instance of im propriety in the conduct of the Princess, while his evidence was given in ot mo er that evinced a prin ciple of honour mod of self-respect that must piece him above the suspicion even of her MAJESTY'S bitterest enemies. There also appeared in him something that smacked of that chivalrous affection for his Royal Mistress, which it is not ton much to say ep►eeks volumes in favour of the object of it, and which even from its singularity in our der,este rate days is deseivilig of some respect. We noticed yesterday that a character of c riminality had been most insidiously attached to many circum stances in the conduct of the Princess. merely by artfully suppressing other concomitant circum stances, which, if honestly stated, would have die played the conduct of her Royal Highness in a light totally ditf; rent. We have slimly from time to time, as the explanations tardily came forth. exhibited instances to mark the disingenuous spirit with which this principle has been pursued ; but in Lieutenant novitiate's evidence we find many proofs of it. Lieutenant HOWNAM thews, that, even if BERGAMI reposed under the tent which was raised on the deck of the polacre, on a small couch within a few yards of the sofa on which her Hoye! Highness reclined. no concealment was sought by the parties; the interior communication between the tent and the dining-room by means of a ladder was continually kept open. as well by night as by day ; the tent itself was not secured from the curiosity of those on the deck, if curiosity were felt by any; and both the Princess and IBEIL GAPAI cont d during the nights dressed in the same manlier as they had been during the day ti►me, with only such difference respecting an in crease of clothes as the coldness of the slight might render necessary. Be it however remarked. that Mr. HOWNAM does not say of his own know ledge that Bermaidi did actually pats the night. within the tent. and his belief that such might have been the caw. cannot be admitted as evi dence. Our readers cannot fail to remember the im portance that was attached by lite ATTORNEY-GE• YERAL to the circumstance of BERGAIII'S having dressed himself on board the polacre in a ludicrous 'wry. with pillows under hit robe. and, proh prdur ! of the Painceta's haviug laughed at the exhibition ! This incident was ranked next to the indecency of her Royal Higlosera's having witoes+ett NIA HOM ET's dunce, aud troth were mentioned to mark the fear ful degradation of her moral principles, occasioned by her infatuated attachment to BEROAMI. We have had the most satisfactory tr►timnuy to prone that the dance exhibited by MAIIOSIET differed in no material instance, so far as the point of ie. delicacy or immorality was concerned. from the Spanish bolero; and now line ota dr Vie fact of BBIMAM'S dre-s?

But why did the witnersts say t h at they were not aware of what 8K110.041 atesod to "re l it, sent ? Can it he believed that they were ignorant of the Consul's visit, or of the object of Ii ht- GAM . / ridicule?—Can it then be doubted that their object in suppressing the knowledge rif the cause of the exhibition they witnessed, was to excite ati unfavourable prejudice against the QUICEN, and in thus acting are they not in ma ratty and in good conscience as guilty of per jury as if they were to state as an occurreace fiction of their own motion? Time only differ ence between the case here supposed and that which thq kite endeavoured to make, relat.a to the punishment of the criminals. They cannot ua law be prosecuted for their negative perjury, be cause they have in fact stated the truth, though not in pursuance of the terms of their oath, which re quires not only " the truth," but " the *HOLE surf." An account of the produce of the Revenue fur the yea► and quarter respectively ending the 10th of this month, with accounts of the years ainl quarters ending the 10th of October, 1819 and 1814, will he found in another part of our Paper. The total of the produce of the last quarter exhibits so increase, as compared With the corresponding quar ter of the last year, to the amount of 1,750,1041. but on looking over the items of the account we can discover no favourable signs to mark the pros pect of • permanent improvement. The Excise alone, with the exception of a few hundred pounds i• the stamp,, exhibits an increase, and this may be easily accounted for by the extraordinary and unusual efforts lately made to compel the pay ment of license-monry and arrears of duties ; but in the important items of the Customs, the As messed Taxes, the Laud Tax, and the Miscel lanies, we find • serious and alarming de ficiency. In the Customs there is a falling off in the quarter as compared with the corresponding quarter in the former year, to the amount of 82,484/.; but as compared with the quarter ending the 10th of October, 1818, to no less an amount than 999.0711. The sum total, however, dieplals an improvement in the actual state of the Treasury, and though this appears only by a comparison with a quiver peculiarly unproductive, since which time new taxes to the amount of three millions year have been brought into action, we gladly receive it as ass actual good, and with the CERN-. CELLOS of the EXCHEQUER we must trust to hope for further and more substautral improvements. We have received Paris Papers of Sunday , Wt.
