of Itid you to the bed--nowl will 'howled the MUSS. SSA iOll of this passion, and he who affects to deny it can be NO mis.' Now then we come to the mese, Sad I venter, to say that the disproof of these charges are fie this, as in other parts, beyond all possibility of doubt. The evidence upon the present Bill is as false as unsidisfisclory. Now, my Lord., in the first place the first emoted is, and I advert to this cireonsstance merely. for the purpose of bringing two or three points to year view, and not few the merrier of tread ing over the same ground of my Learned Leader. I shall uhurtly revert to one or two points. The adultery is laid at 'Naples, on the second night after the Queen's arrival there. Now, my Lords, mark this :—the Queen arrives on the even ing of the Bth, she goes to a concert on Ow evening of the 91h, and she goes to the opera 011 the evening of the 101 h. The story of the adultery at Naples depends on the evidence of Dement, awl there is this inconsistency in her tale, for she fixes the adultery to have taken place on the second night, and yet she nays it was the night when the (Stores told beetle/raw going to the opera. ?tow, I am willing to take the ease her.. and to shew that whether the scene he laid on the "tight of Itte . 9th, or whether it be laid on the 10th, there is ample -evidence to ohs+ that the whole is false.— Now, the first thing we have from Denson., my Lord., is, that the night before the Queen arrived, Amain, for the first ws. aerneated from the room sof bee Royal Highness. Vow, .glo:1: iss) Lords, their own witness ouly states 014, the get.etsllor WIN. Austin slept before thearrival at Naples in te e Queen's room. Bet, my lords, how dues diet steed Now vre hive produced two 'v1111(1041 , , one, Wm.Carringtne, whestatet to your Loutish, ps,• hat print tot he arrival at Naples he actually did sleep iu another room ; and he proves this cacti by telling yon inns he made his bed. That is iu page 568. We hate, howevei, the evidence of Mr. C , who states, that pteeions to that time he haul advised the tderen that Anglin %Imola not sleep its her room because he was too Theo her stand the facts: According to the evidence of Sward, in menet) Of the minutes, Austin slept the whole of the first week her Royal Highness was at Naples in filer r• esm—theo. if this less the case, the whole evidence of De mnnt fell to the ground, for their Lordships would not be. hirer that adultery had taken place between her Royal FLO nese and Rerzsmi in the Fest nee of Austin. 'Alin witness might he mistaken, fee Mr. Keppel C had hold their Lordships that he recommended her Royal Highness not to allow Austin to sleep iu her room wheat she went to Italy, is he had arrived at the age of thirteen, and the prisons of that cood.v would be likely to make observalious o i l it. 'morn he would suppose that her Royal Highness had re. moved this boy of thirteen yens of age on the night spoken to by Donant into a room adjoining hero, the very ro om next to hes. %Vhett was so it If she had removed him for she pneptee of heeler au adulterous intercourse with no r . esmi, would she not have removed him to a !realer dot. donee t A boy who had been le Core in the constant halt t of sleepier in the same neon with her, what security had she, from the proximity of their rooms, that he would mot have entered h•r room at any hour of the night?—The next rise ef suspicion was, that her Royal Higbee, returned r, an opera, ove enneeft, early one Evening, immediately after her arrival at Naples. The inch' of the opera was mm the 10th of September, and Sir Milian, Gell had told their •Lordsuips that he attended her Royal Highness on that sic. C3‘ioll, end that she did not return home front the opera ontil between twelve and 4111 e o'clock its the m.truisty. The night of the concert was ou the 11th of September, and Mr. Craven had told their Lordships that he attended her Royal Highness on that occasion, and that she dad not return home until half past eleven o'clock that night. Then H. mont stood she went towards the cabinet on her return : sat she might—the cabinet was her breakfast-room, and the watt r. closet yes attached to it, and afose siorptng a short time in the cabinet er in the water closet, for Demoat did nut say which, her Royal Highness retired to her bedroom, and dis missed her wily chambermaid. Herr, then, was an end to the direct testimony of Himont ; but on her cessits-examma tion she said there was a large bed in her Royal High_ nee's room, hut that it had no sheets on it, sold that on the following morning her Royal Highness rose at eleven o'clock, her usual hour. His Learned Friend, the s.oheitorGoneral, was one of those lawyers who were never satisfied with his own witneesee bet he whips end spurs them, and under the lash of the whip, slid the .tint of the spite, be afterwards got out of Deming, that after the second night she made an observation that the small bed in her Rossi Highness's room did nut appear to he die totted, hut that the large bed had the appearance of being ocenoieri by more than uric prewon. But his Learned re end would not rest contented with this, for three days afterwards he again applotal the whip and the spur to De ment, and got out of her the addition of sonic stains in the liege he t . Then if their Lordships were to belies. Ch want as to the story shout the bola, her Royal Highness occupied the large bed with Bergami, without sheets, and that so mulch 11111 her •ppetile give' to lest, that io the mouth of 'September she slept without her nee-soul bed covering, and she at th it time 46 years of age ' Hr. would ask, could their Lordships, for one moment, lodiese such a story t he was convinced they could not, for every thing its the shape of proolubility was again' 'their comine to such a conelusiou. Bet Heonont did not stop here, lot ,he hail told theme Lord ships shut, eihsequent to that, she hail perceived the sonic • thong for four whole mouths, her Royal Highness all 11w tome sleeping without sheets ; and it would be in their Lordships r•eolleetion, that part of this time Btreeni was cunfi ted to his bed on account of an accident he had met with, and coned not have gone to her Royal Highness's bed-room ; and in the face of this Dement said, Het trill there was the ap pearance of two persons sleeping in the large bed. Certainly here he (the Learned DoClur,' oas lunched with doubh• adul tery, and it this witness was to be believed, it ought to hare formed part of the preamble of the Bill; but ' wax it poissilole that, in the prevent aye, such a witness could be !mho, «ed till' a moment t He requested that their Lordships 14 WI til catch the evidence of this Delmont, and if they did, he was con vinced, after he had deciphered it. they would rid their me mories of it. She had told that after the second night that her Royal Highness was at Naples, she observed the small bed in her Royal Highness's room bad nut been disturbed, but she never observed it afterwards, although she mole op Ow bed Well might has Learned Ft sends say, that does 'would rest their ease oat the credibility of this witseas; foe it was proved by her own evidence, and that of others, that she was not the bed-maker ; then why did net his Learned Friends call the bell maker fur if there wits any 'thing particular about the huts in her Royal Highness's room, she was the proper presto's to prove it, and as this was a criminal cute, they were entitled to the hest evidence 'stud caplet he obtained; they might well boast of Maros Chase°. ahem their Queen was attempted to be convicted on the evidence of such witnesses as were lucked up In •Cotton-gardeet. He would now leave this second night at Naples and thesadmirable witness Dumont, in the hands of his Learned Friends, his Majesty's Attorney and Solicitor- Gearest; tie would only tenable their Lordships with one word more as to the (-shine!. Could their Lordships snepose that if her Royal Highness wanted to go to Bergs ino's room, would she have gone through the room that Mejoorchi was sleeping in, when there was another way toil ' 113nt 41111POSe, for lenience, that she did not know that Ma jurebi Slept there that first night, and was taken by surprise, would she hate gone that way the second night, as they had been told by Majoecht ?—could it he believed that soy "ro -111.1,1, however urged by passion snot lost, that she would expose helper, not through necessity, hot through pref. r. vice for if she did so, it mutt hare bee. for the purpose of exposing herself, as there was another passage which The 'night hive gene he into the room of Defeated It was con duct of such a nature that could not by possibility be be lieved. Tier, was another charge which he must alleole to, that of her Royal Highness having appeared in nn indecent dress at the masked bait and that Rergami assisted b ee i n taking it off, instead of Gerund, and that her Royal High ness's breasts and arms were bare. According to the rvi. deuce of Delmont, in page 934 of the mitsotes, this state ment alone of Demist was Tide anSeirost for their Lord ships to Menke out the whole. of her evideoce from the rel. antes. If there was a shadow of truth in -this part of tier evideoce, or it was likely to be sustolinel for a moment, would old hie demoted Frieeds for the prosecetion have brought some person befits, their Lordships of reametabi lity w hw hsdbreast the hell, to have supported is, and not have rafted on the evidence of this discarded meant, as it was a charge so capable of proof? Mr. Craven, itt his ',lame, ripe 1141.1 a the minutes, had told their Lorthhips that theromas . uothirm inalerrid in the &IPSO were by her Nord 11110 m as, Mot rt came up bigh•to het vat* salt eu erred her arms, awl if there was say thiug Wittiest is it he must have seen it, and this port of his orkiesse was corroborated by Sir Williats Gell. Thee es to the cisme of Remand dressing aad sinilmaimg bee Royal Highs.= so ihatemeasion ' and ghat she had taken off bee eitillisa, it was proved that her Royal Higbee= had a complete Areas ow under the several dresses she wore that night; sad Ale Wit ham Gell had tuld their I,ordshipe en the several cietivittle of her Royal Highness changing her dresses ttrat night, that the door of the room was constantly shut and opened, mull that the persons of her suite were constantly passing ions the room, and repenter fruits it ; yet Demont had the soda. city, at their Lordships' liar, to say that Bergson mad her Royal Highness on 111411 ucrasios were locked up together ' for three quarters of an hone! There was another eirom -1 stater, trifling in its nature, %sleets he was obliged to men tion, and why ? because of the importance that was given to it by his Leaned Friend, the Attorney-General, who stated t o their Lordships, that when her Royal Highness went to the masked ball at the theatre San Carlos, accompauiell by fiergaini and Demote, that she and her companion, were dressed PO int/elk:110y, that the indignation of the people present was such, that they were obliged to withdraw, in stead of which it was proved by the incomparable Dement, that the whole pasty were dressed in plain dresses, of the nature of dominos, bust being surrounded by ugly mask*, whirls were tiresome, they retired. Theo, storing the whole I time that her Royal Highugss resided at Naples, there was nut a single charge substantiated against tier—she left it as i t peer as she entered it, and having done en, in Isle conscience he believed there was an end to the foundation of this Imo mention; for when he looked at the evidence of Demont aril Majocchi, and the consummate art it was given with, and that the troth was only got from them on their cross. ex+nnilatiun, he wits conviured they were the foundation of the centime: el against their Royal Misers,. He would, how ever, folhishier Royal Highness from Naples, and the evidence 1111.1041.11 nelilll.l her, he would RI entangle it, that he had no doubt that their Lordship, would exclaim with him, Not The Learned Dolor obtained leave to retire for a short time, it being one e'clock, and 1w having been addressing their Lordships from ten o'clock. The COOllO4l 'thirsted to the bar at about !sweaty minutes after two o'clock, and when order hail been restored in the /loose, the Loom d Doctor resumed; however, we art obliged to routines oar inability to du justice to several parts of the ermaitider of his speech, his mauler of delivery rem drying his uhseivations frequently inaudible. He had left off at that p sat of the case which related to her Majesty's conduct while at Naples, arid he had now the pleasure of in forming their Lordships that he thought there were several b.:inches of it which, in the full and COnStie4ll4o4lll discharge of his duly, he should fret himself completely justified in ;menu( over without any compete. lie thought so, film, because nothing which he could say could eshd to the effect of the admirable arguments of his Lettered Friends respect. ill?: them; sail secondly, because they bad been perfectly disproved by the Cl'ideUl'e afterwards produced. He might Walston the Nnrira of Chortles ; the jimmy to Seoegaglia and Trieste. Leaving Naples with her Majesty in 1815, he should pees over as unworthy of notice the breakfasting at Genoa, nitablislied as it was by the evidence of Majocchs alone, soil some other little petty circumstances stauding on the same unsupported authority. And now he came to the lung voyage; and here lie felt it right in the first instance, to pond out use or two examples of the false and vicious chariot eer ut the evidence for the Bill, which, if they hail produced the or erect they ought is produce in their Lordships' emir*, would totally diver, ilit all the other meteor the teationosy of the same indsvidua la Fur the impeachment of a rinses'', ere. dit in une particular was an impeachment of it in all. This was a topic to dwell tos which be should consider an affront to an to dmary Court °Mastic...on to any Judges well experieaced to the nal ure mid character, nod accuratelgastimatiag the va lue and writhe of evidence. This csosielenition would be coo elusive with persona infiuitely more move rust in such saw. ter* thau none ansmsg their Lordships. He alluded to the fact ofiliscoverisig that the witren had in any one imitative wilfully swerved from the truth; and, it tile language of the law, given his testimony with malice aforethought. If ley fonird that of witesemks in this cue, they were homed, accordion to all the principks of common wave, &rowdier to every principle which ought to govern the human moil in the investigation of truth, to reject the whole of their evidence, from beginning to end. Why, in the name of common sense, was it that • couviction fur perjury dis qualified a relines.? It was because be had sore sworn lately. And where was the distinction between a convic tion !Or perjury apperemg on the records of a Court of Jos. lice, and a 4:14111 , 1411011 Ull their Lordships' own gniudr, that the same UfftNleft had been, in various instauees, committed before then, beyond all possibility of doubt ? hlajocclo's evidence wouiel not be receivable if he had been once cum witted of falsely sweariug ; but if, instead of the men. lessee of a Jury, their Lordships were in possession of that knowledge which rendered the thing equally clear to thee oast minds, he asked, is the name of common sense and equity, whether, if oo the productiou of the revered of conviction of • Court, they would reject Majocelif a testimony altogether, they would tint, in their present situation, also do so; whether they would not efface from their minds all traces, all tinpeemions, which any part of his depositions might have accidentally left there ? it was on this principle that he asked them to reject the testimony of 51ajocchi, Demote, Sacchi, and Ittodelli. He the • to point out the variance between Majocchi's account (pages 22 and 23 of the minutes) of her Majesty's desist and sleepiug at Ephesus, on the lard journey, front Mr. II oonant's relation of the PROW ()eminence (page 705); sod the differeuce between Stajocchi's and Demont's evidesece, and that of Mr. Howisaro, reelecting the relative situation of her Majesty's and liergani's sleeping rooms at Gems. He also noticed a similar contradiction (p. 725) by Mr. How. n no, to Malin-dies description of the stair-case leading to leer Majesty's eleepisig-room at the Borromeo. After advert iiig 10 the circumstances 4.f her Majesty's telecom fatigue, • frequent falls from her hone, us perfunatiug the laud jquruey; itw absence of bed.clutbes (according to Mr. How. stati 'cut, limn the sofa ou which she rested ; her re 'theist undressing; and blajtechi'• story of having one night slung that journey heard two voice, whispering, whether meis's or onmen's be mould not say, in her Majesty's tent—he asked. why it should be thought that isdividissla who had once as tar advanced iu the paths of perjury, bad af terwarilestupt rh..t t and told nothing but truth? If any was huh into eimsidi r emu all the circumstances of this laud j..urney, amid then believed that during the feu hours set aside for her rest from the fatigues and perils of travelling, her Royal Highness had adultery it: her Wail, he confessed be pulled that isidividual's intellect, for he should cenaisily say, that he wait • man usable to come to a rational conclusion on any subject. Ile now came to that point which rotated, to the 01M111011uf souse, if he might judge from report!, the last state Vt . her Majesty's ahame—he came to those ever memorable scenes YU board the where ; and after the fullest cousideretion which he had Maio to the subject, he felt confident that he should be Ode to demonotrate to their Lordships, that the whole of what had occurred anti"e eft nu imputation olsalever on Isis Illustrious Claret. Their Lordships wire nut to forget that he was entitled to say t h at her Majesty bad entered that vessel unsesisesi, unspotted, usicuolisosinatid, and free (soul the slighltnt Irate of elem. The Learned Counsel then reviewed the circumstances sitesiding hutr Majesty's 'Work Mg on board the pokes', the disposition of the aleeping-rooms,•nd the removal of berguni from the Ma. e he lord first occupied to the dinisig-room. Their Lordalbips *timid hod from the evidence of Lieut. Flynn, page 1647, and irum Limn.

He should be justified in doing it; but in the name of his Royal Mistress, he should for ever abandon each means of an acquittal. Reiter for her Royal Highness be found guilty at once, than go from this bar where she had been a prisoner, so acquitted, for ever stripped of all the respect and honour due to her birth, rank, and station, tainted in her character and reputation. to all fissure times el-graded ite the opinion of all whose esteem was so valuable. Nt, my Lord.," said the i.. de:mope! (Dr. Lushitegtoti), " I say this, that, granting that Rergami slept ender the same tent with her Majesty, granting that he slept there night after night, I will justify ii." He hail ,hewn that there was glutei and %sufficient reason for her Majesty sleeping ott deck. Ile would now ask, what sort of lent it was she slept in? It was a misnomer to cell it • tent. It was the awning of the ship, which exte n ded across nearly the whole breadth of the ship, sad gathered together in the elemaiest manner, fastened with pins, and accessible to every one, who had only to turn the canvass aside to enter at pleasure. It was not even formed and fastened so as to exclude the wind ; nay, when it was once remarked to her Majesty, that the tent or awning impelled the course of the vessel, she said that she would as anon sleep without it. This was not all : it appeared front the evidence, that besides the men at the helm, there never were less than ten men on deck during the night; that the hatchway was always open; and that, besides, both the Queen and Bergemi remainrd dressed during the whole night. lint it was said that there was no light tinder the tent. True it was; but how was that fact explained? It had been sh«wo by the evidence, that the Queen had been 'deified to have no lights tooter the tent on account of the dsteger the ship was at that time in from pi rates. Si, much, then, for the opporisteeitiew To clime 11.5wr to the evidence of what Woolly passed under the tent. Majocchi swears, that, sleeping below, he heard the creaking of a heel oil the deck above; anal the only inference the Learned Coun terl could draw from this creaking was, that an act of adultery had twee committed. This was ridiculous enough! but look how the evidence of Majoechi was confirmed. Some of the witnesses stated, that sleeping where Majoechi diet, he could not have heard what he pretended and swore he had heard : and none of those, who, front being on deck donne the night, must at least have braid any thing of the kind much better than Olajocchi—neither Bargeolo, the master, sow Posta°, the mate—nor Lieutenant Flynn, the Captain of the vessel—had apposed even to the semblance of such fact. How unjust was it 10 draw an inferenm of total from the mere existence of a possible opportunity, whets detection I was so easy, he had almost said so unavoidable What ! was I it to be credited that her Majesty would exchange her bed, its the cabin below, where, if she had entertained the erimi nal pinion imputed to her, she rootlet have indulged it free from all intrusion or observation ? was she, for any inconve nience to which she might he there subjected, to exchange it for a couch upon deck, where she was to be exposed to incon veniences of a tenfold worse description—where she could only repose with her clothes on—where she was liable every mimeo* to intrusion—where she was exposed to the eu rine, eyes of the lowest individual on board the ship? The Learned Gentleman continued to reason with great power and perspicuity on the guilty inference which had been drawn (tom Rergami having slept under the tent in the polecre, especially after the evidence of Lieut. lloweiam had shown that attendance was Necessary In tier Royal High ness, on account of the various dangers of the sea, the sm. possibility of females attending upon her while on deck, anal the amnions of Lieut. Hownam that he himself had no suspicion therefrom, nor did he look upon it as any other than • proper and indispensable arrangement. Would their Lordships infer guilt when this witness, who witnessed all the circumstances, and more which be might not have re. membered, declared, that at the time he saw no reason for suspicion? It was then argued that it was not possible fur a man and • woman to be in such contiguity with out the commission of guilt. Had there been 110 era. 1011 for Bergami's attend:rime, had he been taken under the tent or atriong merely as a companion, without any cause being discover:4le to chew the 'necessity of his presence, it would in4wel have been good ground for respi cion of guilt, but not (or judicial pnoishnteni. The Judge who would pronounce condemnation on sods grounds would be guilty of judicial murder. He quoted the evidence of Lieut. Howilam, as it appeared in the book of evidence, to confirm hit argument. He declined any animadversion on the bath scene, proved by Majoeche and Demme, after the entire refutation given to their testimony by Lire:tense's Flynn and Hownam ; he merely referred their Lordship, to the various pages in which the relative evidence appeared. Adverting to the kissing on the deck proved by Petazzo, he rallied the other side on the paucity of proof, though Petters° hail said that the time was evening.. sod almost every body was on dee k. The rest of the offences he pro. posed to pass over with still greater rapidity. He thought that their Lordships would hardly expect the Counsel gravely to argue against some of the more seriatim charges in the Bill. One of them he pronounced to be as absurd as any charge that ever was twonght in the world against an ac cused person. Gracious God! that in the Rill before the House be should find the following solemn criminatimi That her Royal Highness did (I:er raising Bergatni to be the head of her household) bestow on him extraordinary marks of distinction, acquiring for him Orders of Knight. hood, titles, and booming, and that she did also tooter MI NM as order of her own creation, entitled the order, Sec. And to this violation of the prerogative of God knows whom, committed God knows where, they were to be called on to plead, when, if he was right in his informatioe, the offence, if any must have been continencd against the Grand Seignior—he would leave it to their Lordships. What was he to say, what excuse would he asked for bestowing on Bergnme, Flynn, Maintain, Austin, And Hieronymus, one half yard of natter ed ribband ? If this were indeed to he crime, let the mea sure of puniahment be determined by the length of that piece of ribboned But of one thing let their Lordships take heed, not to be led astray; let them nut be deceived as to the colour of the ribband ; God knew what consequences might or might not depend upon it. It ought nut, it should dot any longer be mistaken for a straw-coloured Msjocehi lead indeed sworn that it was a straw-coloured ribband ; but better evidence hail refuted him. Let justice, perfect justice, be door, and let the world he informed that the colour of the ribband was lilac; a lilac rib. bend it should go forth, and nut a ribband of straw colour! What nowt be the dark malignity, the ran. -corona hatred aid malice uNitcr enemies, when they could dare to being such trash before so illustrioes • Court, anal assume a charge so (Ovulate, so unfounded, that in slays and ages to come, it would stand in the history of their jurisprudence as an insitheog mockery of justice!

He would not sully their Lordship with a suspicion that they were capable of fining on themselves a stain of such everlasting reproach, as to nab ire them to disprove the statements of what had oc curred at Carlsrithe. He 'd erosible their Lordships with no more observation, on the evidence. lie was bound to ! bring one tither consideration before their Lordships. They had nut called the Countess Olds, Brunette, the half sister of Demont, Austin, our Schiaviiii. With astonishment I had he heard the outcry made fur the product' of ! these witnesses by the other side. Wishout one single admission bring mode or uttered to them, her Ma. jesty's Counsel were to being forward other wit. nestles to rt lute a case, no part of which, remained un- I shaken or wholly destroyed. Mr. Broogliam had in the opening, indeed, undertaken to call some of those witnesses. His Learned Friend was right, because at the time lie could not know that they would lie able to take up the case, and deatroy it particle by particle, as they hail been providen tially enabled to do since. His Leas wed Friend had there. fore said, that they must, for want of more minute evi dence, meet the case by the general testimony of the house. hold. But if they had put those witnesses forward, what would have been the consequence ? If they tripped or fal tered, even in a syllable, lilt! these are the Queen's wit nesses; yon sec they dou't exceed our own in houesty:— Or if, me the other hand, their testimony were In prove en. ',rely exculpatory, then—' Oh ! they are friend* of the Queen—they are the relatives of Bergami ; vs ry Komi people, but they have their weaknesses—they will nut depose to any thing injerions to the Queen or Bergami..—Why, if the Counsel WI the other aide thought them credible WillarkleS, and expected to get any thing from them, did they not call them ! Let them point out one shtick piece of evidence iu their whole case which was supported by ctedible witnesses, which had not been disproved by witnesses of character, and lie would call some of the persons whom lie had metitioned. But before he pet Brunette into the box, lie usual have • ttttt ething fur he r to do. He wall 1111 t 1101111 d to expose her to the fangs of such a cross-4 ximinati tttt as she might mi. dreg', from his Learned Friend, the Solicitor-General. Not that he feared any thing fur the character of the Quern her self; brit when lee had seen in the course of the examination of Lord Guilford, the attempt which had beeu nestle to ex tort fresh charges of indecent familiarity with his Lord. ship's Greek eervant, not contained in the opening accu sation', and for which there was no shadow of proof even in the Mier of the Attorney-General, what was lie to expect from putting any one of these witliesses forward? If any of them should have happened to quarrel with Bergen:l, and uttered airy expressions respecting him to others in the warmth of their resentment, and which they bad probably entirely forgotten, would Ise brought to light, not Cu,.' the purpose of elicitine the truth, but to asperse and ea Elect on the character of the Qat-ea—she would thus sulTer, not for any thing which she had dune', but for wh a t o th ers might have said of Beigami. Believing, as I do, that this is a foul, rank, and abominable cosispiracy, and as there is no necessity to call further witnesses, I think it is due to my Client nut to expose her to the risk of injury, when no mail with an honest heart dares to say that there is an accusation broueht upon just grounds. 1 think I ana justified io eayine, that this case has been completely disproved ; and I would call upoo yen In look at the falsehoods and contradie. lions nod obligations tin one aide, and al the absence of all these things upon the other.—[The Learned Gentleman here enterer] into a filvere cenanre of the Milan Commissi 11 1 l f oe not examining minutely into the character of the witu!sses before they preferred their charges against her Majesty, and complained of the agency of Riganii and Raatelli, who were employed to obtain confirmation of their own testimony. Dr. Loahingtoti also adverted to the circumst•ucee of De . moot, Rastelli, and others, being kept fur filtems months at the expense of the proseentitor ; and also adverted in severe terms to the conduct of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, who had sent fur Lieutenant Hownam, to obtain from him the address of • seaman who was smutted as a witness spigot her Majesty. After a few short, but excellent remarks upon the means which the Prosecution had to moist' her Majesty, and the course of oppression which she had encountered, be coucluded his speech in the following words,—" Now, my Lords, I place this case in your hands, with the most prefect confidence; appealing fur an acquittal of osy Illustrious Client, not to your Lordships' mercy, but to your justice."

E " l i i SL NUJ' SS -41 • LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOIIIII 27, 1820. IVe learn from the Court circular that Prince Lecreot.l3 railed pate-May at Illrantlenburgli !loupe to Mild:re after the health of the QUEEN. but that his 'loyal Flightiest' did not alight from his carriage. firr MAJESTY, we lament to say, has suffered so much agitation of mind since the commencement of the present crud proceedings, that her health has been roniiii!er:My impaired. and Prince Lacteot.u, at bar?lug that she hail been taken suddenly ill, seem e d to feel it Ilia duty to break through every restraint, and pay this mark of reapeelfal attention In the mo ther of his inuch4aved Princess. The Prince is know,, to possess a irenereas and feelifcx heart, and with a mind so disposed to the milder sycripa 'hies of our nature, he must hasp sincerely deplored that tircumstancesi should hare impel iously requir ed of loin to withhold from her MAJESTY in her sufferings the solace of his protection end friendship. It is possible that even this delicate though gourd eil mark of his emotion may expose this generous Prince to misrepresentation s and jealousies, ill a quarter to which he must feel himself strongly bound by gratitude and alrectioo, and per. haps even his own fair fame, and the remem brance of one with whose cherished name the public still love to unite him, may not, for the. dreadful offence, be stiffi&ent to sh'eld him frost the calumnies of the miscreant.; whi se trade is de traction ; but the public, while they acknowledge the propriety of his reserve on the great point now pending, will honour the motives that led him to encounter the chance of evil, that he might by one act of generous attention pour the balm of consolation on the wounded heart of this unhappy QUEEN. Were the present proceedings to continue much longer, it is very probable that even this solace would conic too late. The agony of mind endured by her MAJESTY is greater than can well be con ceived, and the health of the body cannot endure the coutioned internal conflict. The alternations of hope and fear, the torture of suspense, the assur ance that even an acquittal by Pathainent cannot restore tier to I.er proper rank in the State, the uAreheilsions drawn from the hitter experience of the past, that even though she were most trio awl.- antly to refute every calumny pointed at her honour, there will still be persons fotiad to slaiider her cha racter and connect her name with the vilest impu tations—all these contribuite to distinct 'ter mind, and must of necessity produce au alarming im pression upon her system.
