She might have often been sitting on the same toes-with other gentlemen, as well as Sir Solitey Smith ; hut it was impossible for her to say what corner of • sofa he might have ocimpiid four years ago. Her conscience p.. 1.. fly acquitted her of any improper freedom; and, ne t. ss it should he comidered that a Princess of Wales (amid never descend to the familiarises and iatercuorse of private I ife, it • must be wider any circumstances extremely hard; toit looter hem, it could hardly be expected from her. There were Mtn different declarations from Cole—all dif fereot fr the depo:ition which he afterwards mute, and m sterially Jilreriug hum one another. It was her misfortune that Cole and Biel out had not been sifted and questioned as they ought to lie. The Law Lords were nut always, nut even °fire, present; and the exautivations were left to Earl Spencer and Lord Grenville. Cole was not punishable, because the two Lords could not adinioister en oath ; and yet, mark the rouduct of this man. He had obeetved a man in a great coat at midnight, without feeling or giving any alarm; and yet this man bad his nerves so shocked as to alas t at seeing • gentleman silting on a sofa at mid-day ! He could suffer the approach of a man at mid night to his matters bed, because he did nut believe him to be a thirf—end yet he could have his suspicions roused at seeing a friend with his mistress in an open room! It was nu doubt the watchman whom be saw at inignight, whose duty it was to go his rounds, both without and within the house—and it was his duty to hare mined who it was, if be had doubts on the subject. lie ascribes his removal to his starting. It was not so—Cole was a disagreeable man ; he had been educated above Isis station ; *peke French, and played on the violets, Ake. He would frequently play on her harpsichord, *ad read her books. lie Ripened • forwardness and impertinence which were digustinc. He lived at Dtvonshirelionse, sad was re. commended from thence to the Prince. lie carried thither all the observations which he made on the Princess's family, which determined her to remove him; and fur this purpose she desired the Duke of Kent to acquaint bins that she i,hed him to wait on her at Carlton-house, and the arrange ment would have been made desirable to him, if he had con. dueled himself with propriety. The Lampert% servals of Lady Boogies, the Cisansnis. sinners hail not thought proper to examine, no doubt from their sense of the ignominy into which Lady Dunglas had plunged herself; but it was unfortunate that by the absence of Sir Sidney Smith she was unable to call on him to refute the Declaration of the Lampert,. The next person impelled to the Prioress was Mr. Law. noire the painter. Mrs. Lisle said, that she sat to him in London. mid at Blackheath; mid Cole said," be slept two or three nights at Montagu House. That one night she was with hiM alone in the blue room, after the Ladies had retired; and that afterward* when he supposed that Mr. Lawrence had gone to bed he went to see whether all Was safe, and lie found the blue room door locked, and heard • whispering in it, upon which lie weal away." la his first declaration he said, that much suspicion was " en tertained of Mr. Lawrence," but tic does not mention the whispering nor the locked door. This contradiction is woithy of remark. It is perfectly true that is 1800 or 1501, Air. Lawrence painted • large picture of her and her daughter, and he asked to be permitted to sleep • few 'sights at Montego liaise., that be might eel up and "'token the pic tnre in the morning. Sir William Beechey had dane the same.

It fre qttently might have happened that he stayed till one or two o'clock. The Ladies and he went together; but it might have happened that oases he was left with her, as he himself recollects List it slid happen for a minute or two after the Ledies hid retired. He lived in the greatest intimacy with Mr. Lock and Mr. Angerstria, and the Princess bad asked him to dine wills them No doubt she often sat alone In him, and often eositinaed in COOVerilltloll with him after Slit' sitting for the day was over—but it never occurred to her that it was neermary to her homier to have a witness upon .11 ouch occasions. Mr.. Lisle says, that she left the Princess al Mr. Lawrence's, but thinks Mrs. Fitzgerald was with her. As to Captain Mashy, the evidence of Bidgood, Frances and Mrs. Lisle are to be enusidererl:--inid first as to Mrs. Lisle's evidence: she had plaited two boys under his care, and Mrs. Lisle says, " that he was Hie person with whom the Princess took greater pleasure in speaking to Mao any other; that she behaved to him only as an w•asas, would do who liked flirting—hut she would not have thought that any married woman would have behaved properly who behaved as she did to him. She would not say she was soothed is him, but it was a flirting conduct. She • saw tiny gallantry, as Mining her band or the like." llsis WWI the aunt of her evidence. The Princess was in. timliteed 'to Captain Manly at Lady Townalomeni. She pet two boys tinder his care. While the African, his ship, was fitting out, he took apertmetrla al Blackheath, and Are sometime, IMO him. Haring pieced these bays caller him, she made him a present of a little plate, as it was con stantly her practice to make a present amine sort where she imposed tumble. la like mestere Sir Samuel flood had two of her boys, 'toilette gave him au epergne. She admits that she frequently warmed with Captain Maidiy, but Mrs. Lisle's tritkoce was not sufficiently sifted; site ought to have explained mere &Missal, what she observed, and not to be left to speak in pestershi ies. The Proiress's eon science acquitted her of every improper freedom. MIL I.isle hod at this time lest a famiterite daughter, wbith no doubt gave to her sated a serious nod eve. severe turn in judges,: of a permit's hehavlenrisi compauy, who had not the happiness to live is the society and confidence of her husband; bet certainly Mrs. Lists would not bare motioned to reside with the Pioneer * if eirconnstaeces elan useemisly sort had presented themselves to her eye.

What! have these things iu as ores pastime, where all bre pimple were passing, to nee to them all that lie was kitece, sod thus to promulgate a secret which was es less iluss. high treason, and which was to cost her lice life! The Cossothisioners could not, sorely, believe sissy el.wy so gran. lin. Sander and Mary Wilson buds justified her from this Frances Lloyd said she was aroused ant of bed, to wake breakfast for Captain Mashy, at six o'clock. This might have happened, because it was twice agreed that they should go out upon water parties,one of whirls only look place; and she remembers to have walked down the lawu early oc one of the mottling' fixed fur such an exeursioa ; and might, at such lime, have bees secu by F. Lloyd. It will hardly Ise credible, that Earl Moira sent for Mr. Mills the day after rum, Lloyd's declaration : but it will be seen by his sod Edsneed's depusitio, what pains were taken to tamper will. witnesses. The weld person was Mr. Hood, now Lord Hood, who married Miss Hammond, one of the Lattice in the Princess's household. It is perfectly true she rode with him **ice its his whisky without having her own servants. This was im mediately after the death of Ike Duke of Cdoucester, and while he lay unburied. She wear out is the whisky for air; bat wished out to he seen with a retinae of servants while his Royal highness lay unburied. The next person. imputed to her were Mr. Chester sod Captain Moore. By Mrs. Lisle's evidence it is said, that Mr. Julia Chester was iavited by her special order. N..., Instead of this, he was oily one of several invited. She bre. ged of Lady Sheffield that every thing of the name of North, all the Legges, all the Cheaters, awl Mr. Elliot, should he invited. All about the candle, and being found in the gal lery, would have been explained if Lady Sheffield had been examined. It is most likely that the might have walked with Mr. John Chester, but what was there iu all this that she ought to be called on to answer? As to Captain Alloore, Mrs. Lisle had borrowed a book from him. Her mother, the Duchess of Brunswick, was fund of the Fite Dr. Moore's 'tritium and the Captain lent theist • MS of hie late father, in return for which she made him a triHieg present. . As to the anonymous papers marked A. B.C. she sialtanly denied all knowledge of them. They were submitted to Mrs. Fitzgerald, together with the seal—she denied that they were the handwriting of the Princess, or that the seal was hers, and yel this was not contained is her examination. The Prioress concludes her defence with some few obser vations on the Report of the Commissioners. There were great omissions in it. She was desirous that it should be opened up again ; but she deprecated secret tribu nals. Against false charges of friends tuned enemies— of servants; who seemed traitors and spies, sad the foul conspiracy of social and domestic treason, she could look to no security for her honour hut to 11w princi ple of justice, which constantly actuated the conduct of his Majesty. For a Princess of Wales to have betel placed in a situation, in which it was essential to her honour to re. quest a gentleman to swear that he was Rot locked up in • room with her alone; and another, that he did not give her a lacivioss salute, sod never slept in her honor, is to have been actually degraded and disgraced. " 1 have been, Sire," aid the Princess, " placed in this situation. Could I for bear to announce a conspiracy against my liononr and sta tion io the cuswitry? At all events, I trust you will restore me to your gracious presence, ad confirm to me, by your gracious words, your satisfactory couvict ion of my innocence. " 3d October, 1806. " CARMAN& P. SOUTH AMERICA. EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CHILI, DATED ♦ALPARAISO, APRIL 11. " By the next ship 1 will send you a detailed account of Lord Cochrane's explore of Valdivia, which, in my opinion, equals, if it does not exceed, any exploit of the kind ever before performed. At present 1 have ouly time to say, that its she hands of our people it is impregnable - 1 Valdtivi■ is defended by no kw than 15 forts, so placed In respect to one another, that no sill, could remain half an hour in the hay, much less could any one lie at anchor there. These forts mount upwards of 100 pieces of venoms, moat of them 24-pounders, and must of them having furnaces to heat shot. The communieatiou of one fort with another is i■ many places only a very narrow defile, comp sed of large rough •lanes, •ad tortuous paths of great declivity. A couple of pieces of cannon would render any one of throw ut terly impracticable to any number of men. A handful of men might prevent the lambing of any number of men, evea if boats were allowed to approach the shore ; but no boot could advance within eanion.sbut without being subjected to • cross fire, and instmitly sunk. The beach is beset to the very water's edge with bushes auJ shrubbery, by means of which, even when a landing was effected, a small number of men might securely remain, anti cut utl . the invaders on the beach. " Spite of all these obstacles Lard Cochrane boldly enter ed the harbour, with a brig and &schooner, on board of which he had crammed 320 men. With Ibis force, at night.talldie attacked one of theforte, landed his men. healing the Spa. ■lards before him, and carried the small tort, the enemy in the other forts treating the attack with contempt no •c. eco•nt of his Lordship's small force. But such was the im petuosity of the Minos, and the very few F.ngliehmen who were with them, t►at they drove the Spaniards through the fort, mixed with them, carried smother fort, nod struck such terror into the Spaniards, Who had but the moment before despised them, that in a panic they abandoned their post, and fort after fort fell into the hawk of Lord Corheaite. " In the morning the Spaniard, were lost its astonishment aI what had happened; Lut it was then too late, the whole of the forts as well as the town were in possession of Lora Cochrane, and nothing remained hot quiet submission.

Ti-LE 14 . R.1Ti Si i PRESS. LON DON- s SATURDAY. JULY 29. WO. Private letters from Naples of the 10th in. stunt have been received in Paris, which are so far interesting as they announce no farther changes in the political aspect of that coun try. The revolution has been effectel with so much ease, and so fortunate an absence of those circumstances which in political occurrences are most calculated to excite angry feelings among the contending parties, that we may entertain a confident hope of seeing it accompanied with re sults no less beneficial to the people of Naples s than have arisen in Spain from similar causes. The letters received in Paris would, however, insinuate that the people of Naples either feel no direct interest in the recent occurrences, or are indis posed to concur iu them, " remembering," as one of the writers alleges, " that agriculture sad com merce flourished snider the fanner Government, that the finances of the State were administered with economy, and that there existed a well-grounded hope of the diminution of the taxes, and doubt ing whether the benefits which are promised by the recent revolution will indemnify the na• tion for the positive good which she enjoyed." Such is the tone in which the partisans of eats. Wished abuses will of course ever speak of ■ay re form, however necessary and advantageous, and it must be remembered that in sach like periods was the late revolution in Spain deplored by those whose personal interests were injured by the event, at the very moment when the great body of the nation was exulting in the change, and the KING himself was justifying the language of his people's triumph, by reciting the evils which under the former system had oppressed the country. A revolution, it must be admitted, is always an evil, because it relaxes for the moment the bonds of society, and exposes a Country to at least the chance of suffering very great calamities; but when a propitious moment arrives for throwing off an oppressive tyranny, if any people should hesi tate to take advantage of the occasion, from some general and indefinite apprehensions of some pos sible and contingent calamities, we can only wish them joy of the security they so dearly purchase, and pronounce them unworthy of the blessing of freedom. The examples, however, of Spill and of Naples, even if the great, lesson of English - history were forgotten, prove that a revolution, if judiciously conducted in accordance with the feelings of the great body of the people, may become an absolute good, and bring a blessiug, not upon the people only, but even upon the Chief Magistrate of the nation himself. Let any Monarch compare the present situa tion of the King of SPAIN, respected and loved by his people, with his condition before the revolution, and if his mind be capable of entertaining correct notion+ , upon what constitutes individual happiness, lie would not hesitate to prefer FERDINAND'S pre sent situation; with e►en his limited power, to his former - state of being, although nominally possess ed of milimited authority.

Letters hive been addressed to the E.litors of some of the daily Papery, its which notice is taken er Ate egmbertiseneent which mixtst mite in the proceedings against the QURIEW. from the difficulty of obtaining interpreters who could at once faith fully and fully resolve iota English the tvideoce of the Italian witnesses, delivered, as it i■ likely to be, in the barbarous dialects of Italy. tSpeculatioris of this nature must, we think, be regarded rather as amusing or fanciful, then ea ersitaining any serious circumstances of difficulty, for it is not to be supposed that the Houses of Parliament would consent to receive the interpretation of a witness's statement, milers they were well as. pored, by mains admitting of no doubt, that the inteprete► was fully competent to, his task. Neither is Ike Italian language so very little known to the Nubility and Gentry of this country, as to stiffer us to suppose that there are not men) , Members of both Houses of I'arlia►sent very capable of correct. ing an erroneous interpretation of an lutist' depo. sition, should such be attempted, either through ignorance, or designed to be palmed upon them ; even the peculiarities of the various dialects of Italy cannot fail of being known to many of them. But there is undoubtedly one tircuin. stance, arising from the witnesses being foreigners, which must militate considerably against her MAJESTY—we allude to the impossibility of their being cross-examined at the bar with the ►ame advatitages towards the discovery of truth as must have been derived from cross-examination had the witnesses been natives of this country. Every one iii any degree acquainted with the practice at our Airi P►ias trials, must have seen many instances of the surprising effects produced upon an unwil. ling, an ignorant, or a tirade-rrp witness, by the rapidity of the questions, the manner and the tone of voice of the Counsel, and by the ■se and appli cation, in certain instances, of a peculiar mode of expression. A judicious cross-examiner will esta blish a kind of mental intercourse with the witness, which will express itself in a thousand ways, inde pendent of the mere act of speaking ; he will by the perplexing subtlety, variety, and quickness of his questions, deprive falsehood, however ingenious, of that retreat which the caution and reserve neces sarily attendant mum an examination carried on through the medium of an interpreter mast secure to it. Time, in the first instance, is Rivet' to the witness to consider of his answer ; should be coin• mit himself, he has the power subsequently of pleading a misconception of the question or of the answer, or an incorrect version of either, and he thus obtains the means of effectually altering the purport of his first answer ; the examiner, too, must frame his questions wit► sore reserve...he cannot vary them with so mach facility, and intro duce unimportant topics with ■n apparent indifer• ence, for the purpose of throwing the witness off his guard with reference to the main object. The greater part of the under-play which coustantly takes place with such wonderful effect in our Cour , s of Law, would sound extremely ►id►culous if it were seriously to undergo the process of tran‘lation, and of being twice 'repeated, and a consciousness of this circumstance must, no doubt, prevent any of her MAJESTY'S Counsel from indulging in it. We are inclined to believe that no part of the evidence produced at the bar of the House of Lords against the Quegn will be allowed to go forth is the public until the entire proceeding shall hare terminated. Many seem to think that the public will he excluded altogether from the House of Lords during the continnance of the proceedings against her MAJESTY, at lenst duri n g the receiving of the evidence. It is her MAJESTY'S wish that the proceedings should, in every shape, be as public as possible, yet we cannot but think that it must work some injury ,to her MAJESTY, should the charges against her he permitted to go forth until ' accompanied by her defence.
