If that were true, thetas. peel proved. If it were out true, it might have bees rest trailirted. the Countess Oldi might bane been called to prove that Bergson was not present ms that occasion. Bat the bathing was proved by Mullen as well as M•joceln, and against it they hail nothing bet the opinion and belief of I.ireteeanl Flynn and Mr. Hownens. Whilst he was upon ;hat part of the case, he would recal the circumstances dtf Alisioechra evidence. He had learnt, with some 'tiepin, that Majorchi and Dentont were not to he credited; the former ten account of hie ausweriug that he did not reins tier or retained etr.ein facts would, according to his friend Mr. Propellant's aitzument, be entitled to no credit in any part of his untimely. But if his argument were correct, there was hardly a otters' he had called to whom the same objection did not apply. It would be recollected that Ma jocelli was called spun to undergo a second cross-examius tion, in consenueuce of some information which his Learned Friend hail su opportunely received (its, indeed, all his Learned Friend's discoveries and informations were most opportune); for at that time the ease pressed, awl it did become necessary to operate a diversion on the minds of their Lordships and the public, and for that ;tarpon Majorchi was recalled. They Wel been amused, hoer after hour, with* cross. examinational to his having lived at Gloucester, and having held certain conversations there, mid when travelling in a stage-coach. They Lad been told actual deal of the cruelly of such a mode of cross examining witnesses as hail hen. puoiuril by his Learned) Friend, the Solicitor-General; and much comment had been applied in the newspapers, and notch labour employed in the description of the agonies thereby Inflicted on the nervous sensibility of Mr. Flyun. Tint hail their Lordships forgotten the cosse-examinations in which poor Mijoecht hail been subjected? He was first of all examined ie.chief for a day sod • half, his cross-examination lasted the wane time, and he was again called up, after some at. heard circiansstaares had been developed by the is it. Pre of Bargioln and Petarso, by way of diverting the notation of tie public from them by a few more Non mi —(Lawyhler.)—He would nut say that be (Ma jirecht) hail been lewfured by that examination ; because, whatever night be the case with the cross-examinations on Hole nil., those of his Learned Friend net the other side (Mr. Artrughans's) could not fail of proviso agreeable ler those who underwent them.—(A There wan indeed in the voice, the tone, and the matinee of bis Li ;and Flictsil, something drat was irresistibly pleas ing to a witilen—(n tough );—his very look was enough to wits them to the Lae, for the pleasure alit iug so questioned.— fit intiekl—At the cosselosims of their can, when his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General was about to snow ens, Majucchi was again called up and crow-examiued about Gaverti, and Vassali, and Mr. Johnson, and Mrs Hughes, and several others rind letters were produced which were to overturn his testimony. A remarkable discovery haJ been made too, hr eetnembrrird, of a most damning proof of his inconsistency in having at one time aid that he kept a memeraudum hunk, end afterwards said that he could not write. Brat it soon appeared its explaaation, that the affair of the mentor:iodises hook was an accidental mistake of the Interpreter, the %larches, Spleetic", as his Learned Friend Me, Brougham had randidly acknowledged. desist, a font tit time lie hail bees called up aml examined as ill solar roneereation he eras supposed to have hail shout Baron ° de pt. da. to lay a foundation for lots contradiction by William C1111113;000. He was a pure and voting youth, of unsullied integrity and unshaken credit—a few indications of cooveideticc of memory might be found in his evidence, but the trifling slips and inovnaistenciee of such a witness were not at all to be enticed; while pour Mejoccb must, on every occasion be called up, when a few Nom ml ricorddr were marked to gratify the public appetite for his ridicule. But why bail not Mr. Johnson hens called to contradict him? Why had not Gavezei anal Vanali been called to con tradict him Why had not Mrs Hughes and the whole femily of feitedr a whom be wanted to marry—why had none of these persons been called to contradict him ? Summons had bent bowed by Any Leteekhipa fur their attewdoesee, and they had all been sent fur, bet the other side had not ventur ed npon calling a single individual of them, because they wet! knew thut it was not in the pOV/fr fir such witnesses to shake his testimony. The task of contradicting him was left to be performed by that ono of strict integrity, William Cars Melon, who was born a gentleman, among the lowest classes of soeicty. Rut If his Learned Friends could point out as many contradictions iu the testimony of Majocchi as Ile would uutlertake to skew in the (violence of Carrington, he would widingly resign him to his fate. For when he proceeded to examine that evidence, lee should prove so many inconsistencies and prevarication, as to convince any man that there wee nie credit at till ilne to any part of Ins testimony. What was the fact which Car rington wan called to peeve? Why, that a certain conver eation passed between him and Majorelti in the kitchen at AttfEettili, and also the next day in the court-yard, at which Carringtou said that Francisco Sane was present. Why was not this Francisco called to confirm his evidence, for it hail been pruvid list he was in En - gland? Here was another contradiction. Carrington says that Roofiinelli is four miles from Rolm., sod up hill, and that Erearati is nearer Rome than Rulfinelti. Carlo Eorti says, that Itolfinells is twelve miles front Rome, up hill, sail that Frescati is further sip the hill, and more distant from Rome. Which of the two is to he believed % If Carlo Forti has spoke truth, Carrinetun is here contradicted ; but that was ant all—their Lordships would contrast hie account of his situation sin board the Polefiere, and his con versation with Sir John Rereafiirrl, with that officer's evi dence en those points. The Cruised Gentleman then read trim the minutes a great part of Carringtoa's exsminatinti, wherein he appeared to have plated that he bail been rated as a midshipman sin board the Pointiers, under Sir Julio Beres. ford, that lie had not served in ally other ship before the Poicliers, bat that he had been at sea as a buy its the Iner t ham service. Three several questions (the Learned Gen ileman c 1111 l limed) were put to him as to facts which it was not possible he should not have hanwit, nod yet he had de nied them all. He evidently had nut heel, prepared In ex pect those ipseati 111 l a, and not knowing, what the effect of them might be, he had fur some rrasuii or usher chosen to answer them in the way he did. The Learned Gentle. man then again proceeded to read frum Carrington's evidence in rather a low tone, which was accompanied by some manifestation,. of impatience. These called forth cries of " Order ! order r` and the Alturusy.General said lie much regretted the necessity be was iondow of fatiguing their Lordships with* such minute it. tails; but they became of onion lance, where it was necessary to point out the incon sistency of* witness. Carrington hail said, when gni...tinned in rtfereace to his denial of having been uu board any other ally, that lie had understood the inquiry had related in his toeing with Sir John Deresfurd ; and then, as in his leaving the liPmce, be said it was at his own reopteat, because lie did nut like the sea.

That be moat soy was id ere, unurnal intiffi reacc; it was a thing wholly new and nitheard.of; and if lie or any other Cumisel had dame su, it untold on the instant have been übieered to. Earl Grey here arose 4 and in ass indignant tone, said, " Connect witl withdraw." The dttarney•Generol baying retired a step or two from the 11. r. the Noble Earl Wrested the House.

He had thought it neeeasary to make these observations, because whets the Counsel at their Lordaldpa' bar permitted them selves to indulge In oboervations, such as they bad beard, upon his condom*, mid to assign a partial or unworthy motive for any set of his, he felt it to be his dusty to repel the aspersion. An aspersion it was, he felt it to be so, and be threw it back, as unfounded.—(Hear. hear, Aerie./ The Attorney General then rammed. He was merely saying, that Sir John Beresford wad called at the suggestion of a Bubb! Lord, and that it was Not a usual thing for wit nesses to be so called. He was aware, that be was not ex pected to make ally observations on what was done by their Lordship.; but it hail struck him, that he had never re. membered any similar instance is their proceedings. He hail not meant, it we., s u it always would be, far from his iatentiou, to reflect iii any manner upon the motives or intentions of any of their Lordships. He did not object to Sir John Bereeford having been called, far from it ; he rejoiced that he bad been called. He was called to elicit the tenth, and he was glad of it, heeause the truth had been elicited, mid their Lordships would thereby be enabled duly to appreciate the testimony of Carrington. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the evidence of Sir John Ileresliard, chiefly dwelling on his denial of the conversation with Carrington, in which the latter hid re preriented himself as baying said, Hist he had all objection to being placed on the quarter-deck, fur wan* of emery or friends to maintain him there; " for" said Sir Jolts Beers. ford, with a feeling most honourable to him as an Officer and a man, " I would is that ease have maintained him myself, as I have dune tither Officers, until he was able to pay me;" and " it was not likely after I knew that he hail consented to become the servant of Sir Wil liam Cell, that I should have thought of making hint an officer." And it also happened that he had only been rated as Midshipman a few days, for the purpose of enabling him to be discharged into the Thisbe, sad get his pay on leaving the service. Was this Ilse man to coutradiet Majorehi ? Was be whose testimony bad been so completely coatrailicied by Sir John Beresfurd, Ilw man whose evidence was adduced to contradict that of Majocrhi ? Aad in what was he to contradict him ? As to a conversitiou said to have pegged between them relative to Baron d'Onopteds, which Might or might nut have taken place, and which klajocchi might or might spot have renumbered. But where again. he would ask, where was Francisco Nana, the Genoese servant of Mr. Illownum ? He was stated to have been pre.eist ; he might have proved ur disproved it ; he was in England, and yet lie hail not been called; and why hail he nut, would any man believe, brit because he knew of no such cuaversation. They hail heard the evidence of Majoeclii, which it had in vain been attempted to discredit ; they hail heard the testimony of Carringloo, which be had just .hewn to have been falsified completely. It was for their lordships certainly to deride on which side the credit lay; but In striking the balance in his own mind, be could have no hesitating in saying, that the testimony of the vili fled Italian, Majoerhi, far outweighed that of Ibis vaunted " gentleman of Nature." The A 'tonsil-General was asked by a Peer, if be was star his conclusion' and upon his replying that he should take some lime longer to go through the evidence, the Lord Chan cellor moved an adjournment till tea o'clock tomorrow morning. ST. SIMON AID JUDE —Holiday at the Sauk, Exchequer, East ludia, and South Sea Houses. E F.; ITESI - 1 PRESS. LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER ea, 1820. PRINCE LEOPOLD. We stated yesterday that Prince LEOPOLD had on the preceding day called at Brandenburg h House to pay his respects to the QUEEN, and that her MAJESTY being unwell, his Royal Highness had sent Colonel A DDXNBROICE to make inquiries of Lady ANN HAMILTON respecting the state of her MAJESTY'S heal+. The visit, however. we have since learned, was not made in consequence of the Prince's having received any inti►uation of the QUEEN'S sudden illness, but for the sole pur pose of conveying to her MAJESTY the worm enc. of his Royal Highness's friendship and es teem, and to express his regret that circumstances had prevented him from previously paying her on her return to England the tribute of his respect. Col. ADDENBROES was commanded by his Royal Highness to express these seotiments in his name to Ludy ANN HAMILTON, and also to inform her Ladyship that the P►iuce had anxiously watched the whole course of the proceedings still pending, and had carefully studied every part of the evidence adduced on either side, and that the result of his in quiry was a firm conviction in the mind of his Royal Highness tla►t her MAJESTY was innocent of the charges preferred against her. How consoling must this generous and noble conduct prove to the agi tated bosom of the (lime ! The prudent reserve wl►ich has hitherto distinguished the Prince, places the sincerity of the present declaration of his sen timents beyond the possibility of doubt, and makes it doubly grateful to the wounded heart of the Royal sufferer. It is the return of the dove bearing the olive-branch, to ►hew that the waters of bitterness are rubsidiug. The Qussw hes botne herself nobly through a deluge of insults and mortification, ; she has not bent beneath the storm of calumnies and f.lsehoodr. The spirit of her fathers has animated her exertions, and she at length begins to discern► the haven of her **fey, to see the hand of kindness and consolation extended for her de re Hee and urotection, to receive the smiles and congrattilotions of approving friends, and to anti cipate even from her sufferings the assurance of future safety. The example of Prince LEOPOLD will, no doubt, be quickly followed by the Nobility of England, for their minds must entertain the same couviction : but it was fitting that he should be the first to console and cherish her ; he, the chosen husband of her darling child ; he, who from the bitterness of his own experience could best appreciate the sorrows of her widowed heart. The Quittx was prevented by her illness, or per• hap by the everpowerieg weight of bee fecliege, from receiving the Patecea visit in person. hot her kllextetY requested that he would favour her on the following day with es interview, end ep• pointed one o'clock yesterday for that 'impose. The Prinee obeyed her tom minds, and repaired yesterday at the appointed hour to Brandenhurgh !louse. It must have been en interview of teen. How many painful remem. broom must at such a moment have wrong their hearts! There is a sympathy in their sorrow., for both mourn by the same calamity the withering of their best and brightest hopes. We expressed our apprehensions yesterday that this getrerous act will expose the Prince to the calumnies of certain miscreants who trade in defa mation, but for the Mince we demand the free exercise of the right enjoyed by every individeutl in the state, namely, that of expressing his opinions upon any subject of general interest. The Prince is well known to posers. an excellent and well-cul tivated understunding, hi, opinion therefore must be entitled to the highest consideration ; his pro. dence has been eminently and moiformly conspicuous in 'abstaining from all union with the great con flicting parties who divide the state. For his re serve, even in the present case, ',hit+ most to him Po a peculiar and personal interest, we at an early stage of the proceeding gave hint credit. He was judicious in withholding the expression of his sentiments while the Quetta laboured under se. cusittion; but now that site has most satisfactorily and effectually refuted the vile charges hatched ageism her by treason a►►d perjury. the Prince, who had studied the case witt► deep and anxi ous solicitude, was justified in conveying to the mourner his conviction of her innocence. We sincerely believe that he has but anticipated the unanimous voice of the House of Lords by a few days—for it is impossible that any assembly of men having the fear of God before their eyes," and being endowed with " discourse of rel. 4444 could fail of acquitting the QUMs of the charges preferred against her. The impression whirl we stated yesterday to have very generally prevailed among the political circles on the preceding evening, that Lord LITER.. POOL had expressed his intentioo of giving up the Bill of Pains and Penalties, mast, we conceive, have been effectually removed by the speech of the ATTORN ET•GENENA L yesterday at the bar of the House of Lords. If the First Lord of the Treasury had really intimated in a private con. ferritce to a principal member of the Opposition, that he should not press the measure, from a con viction that the prosecution had failed, it is not to be supposed that the ATTOVINET•GNNSRA L would be permitted to assume that every allegation con. tained in the preamble of the Bill had been fully rind satisfactorily prayed. Such, however, was the purport of the Learned Gentleman's reply; but for his eloquence and logic, we must refer to our par liamentary report. lie appears throughout his speech to have mistaken the nature of the imme diate duty which had fallen on him, for instead of replying to the case for the defence, as made out by his opponents, in which they had destroyed the credibility of DEMONT, 111 AJOCCHI, and Saccut g the A TTORNET-GEN BRA L is for the most part en gaged in recapitulating the evidence fur the prose cution, and undertakes to prove the QUEEN guilty. by refuted asset-Oohs and witnesses shewn to have been perjured. Ile takes full credit for every fabrication of DEwoor, as if her character had been wholly uutainted and her life devoid of reproach, as if her testimony had passed uncontra. dieted, and as if he had forgotten that the circurn. 'Stances which she had artfully suppressed in the warrative of the few occurrences in her depositions, which were not wholly the offspring of her fancy, had been so supplied by others es to destroy the inferences of criminality which might otherwise have been deduced from her statements. The colouring has been effectually removed from so much of her . testimoir las was not pure fiction, while the other parts of ir—witness the opera night at Naples, with all its luscious accompaniments—have been lath. factotily sliewu in their native falsehood. SACCHI and MAJOCCHI have both been contradicted in the principal points of their depositions, and the same might he said of every other wit. ness whose testimony contained matter deserving of contradiction. No art or eloquence of the AT. TORN ET•GEN ERA L can restore the confidence of the Lords in the statetneats of these persons, nor induce them to forget the testimony, unimpeachable in its character, which has been brought to over whelm their falsehoods. There is something pro. volciugly simple, to use no harsher phrase, in the ease with which the ATTORNET•GENERAL assumes . that all DesioaT's story about the opera night at Naples remains anirapeached, although Sir W. Gem. and Mr. Warm. CHAVES have both sworn that the chief incident in that statement, the early return of the Princess from the opera house, as if to mark the lIIMIOUS solicitude with which she courted her shame, was false, and that the Prin. ass is f ac t h a d that night remained remarkably late at the theatre, and was extremely fatigued when she returned to her house. The Learned Gentleman aloe osmoses that the dress wuta by the Princess at the masquerade, .when she appear ed as the More of History. was indecesit, and emu Arms thin Sir W. GRIA'S testimouy supports this atwainption. The rewswilWg .1. the ATTORIIHT• Glllllll.O. en this point is very insider, if Dot ingenious. Sir W. OVA, it M true, declared that the dress was high in the neck, and emageed she mists of the Princes' ; hut. my, the lirlfrir -I GEM MIA L. the dives was trensperent-.4lMs c it deed ? how very indecent it must have been for the: Princess of troLes to go to a piddle 'inesqueriide! in a transparent dress, perhaps a drapery of goitre!! But how do we krinle‘hipt it was transparent iii Oh ! says the ATroaost.GeoceAL, Sir Wm. OELL proves it was trensparent—"jor he sato an. , *toter dress under it." Let no lady in future ap. pear io public wearing a transparent dress, for, though she mum have wader it silk or astir, or mi.. Went of some other texture sufficiently dense, yet if her outer robe he so transparent as to suffer some prying eye to discover s dress beneath it, she will be exposed to the worst suspicions; and should she be marrisd, the indecency of her dress will be brought forward by her husband as a proof of her criminality ! These points we entice as specimens of the ATTORN EY-G EN ER L's logic. The ATTORN ET-GENERAL remarked, that al. though mach had been inferred respecting a con• spirucy, in which the Henoverian Heron. OMPTEDA. had performed a conspicuous part. no proof had been tendered of its existence. Mr. BROUGHAM immediately apprised the House that he bad during the course of the motiting received letters written by the Baron OMPTEDA, mid address. ea to some persons in her &Liman's house. hold. principally, we believe. to M•RIETTE Dc MONT, sister of the virtuous chambermaid, for the purpose of obtaining witnesses against the QUEEN. The bribes offered are. it is said, magni ficent. Lord 1-tveiteooe and his friends in the House excluimed aguiiist the production of these letters at this moment, hut if their Lordships are sincerely desirous of ascertaining the truth, they should feel that knowledge never comes too late if it can he employed to prevent an injury. The sadden production of than at so critical a mono-tit totally destroyed the effect of the Arroamtv. GEN GRA dechimatam upon this particular point. The eslinission of the letters in this stage of the proceeding will depend upon the LORD CHAN CELLOR'S opinion, which will Probably he given this morning. But should any difficulty arise about receiving the letters iii the tight of legal evidence, with reference to the present case, they may still he communicated to the Lords in their legislative capacity as a Horse of rerlianwrit. The A ?TORREY •GEN ERA L slid not cosieliude his reply yestertla3. • Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated July e 8 6 ' Since my last itilfite, the combatted forces under A !cern, Carrera, and Lopez, have retreated to the distance of thirty leagues from hence, pursued by all the dispersible forces of Buenos Ayres, tinder the chief command of Derrago, who serums to be fall of confidence; to-day it is said that the combined corps has halted with an intention of giving battle, i n w hi c h ca s e we shall know the result in a few days. from Chili we have no advice, latter than the Bth of Nay.

Ile r MAJESTY'S Answer to the Address of the los hat.ituots of St. George's, Hanover-.quare have a peculiar satisfaction in receiving this frank, loyal, and affectionate Address from the inhabitants of the Parish of St. George, Hanover.aquare. While I have a heart in my breast, and that heart beats with the energies of life, or while memory retains any bold on my brain, I can sever be unmindful of the singular msg. nanisaity, disinterestedness, and affection, with which the people have supported me against the whole power of my enemies. If the people bad not been with me, what shield of defence should I have had against the malignity of my adversaries ? If she press had sot been so powerfully exerted in my favour, bow could that public opinion have beets ex. cited, which has proved suck a security to me, and such a terror to my commies? I mu convinced that, if the spirit ,or the people, aided by its exertions, had not erected such a rampart of strength against the impending aggressions of tyranny, my rights would, 'ere this, have been taken away slung with those of the nation. If a despotism is established in this collide', the basis will be laid so the destruction of the Queen. If the Queen can be destroyed with impunity, what other individual can be safe? My enemies are the friends of arbitrary power, bat my friends are the friends of liberty. No two interests were ever more completely identified than those of the people and the Queen : her rights arc their rights; and their freedom is her security.
