Her Majesty carried crn her arm a pillow on 'Which s'he always slept,, and this, at 'the time she was reel) she was evidently carrying front BeTgaini's -room to her Own. Their Lord Ships Were . told not to decide from appearances — here was that which afforded a reasonable presumption of the guilt of the parties. That fact alone, in any common case, would satisfy a Jury. of the criminal intercourse carried •on between - them; and when 'that was connected with the other cireumitanceS which he had' already stated, and had •yet to state, What doubt could remain on -their Lordships' minds - At the tme she was- seen •with the pilloW, her Majesty was itodressed • • 'This was an important fact, and in his opi. rityi 'lett no doubt of her guilt. At Genoa the child of Was brought to her - Majesty; and site conceived such an extraordinary attachment to it, that she was ne ver satisfied hnt• When it was with her. It slept with her, wits treated with every attention. and was, be believed, at tact dignified with the title of Princess. The child 'na turally caoiceiced' an affection fur her Majesty, and - if she • awoke.when the Queen had withdrawn herself, would cry for " Manima," for so her Majesty permitted the child tireall her. On these occasions the servants had heard the Countess , of Oldi frying to quiet the child, hut they heat d nothing to lead theMtn believe t hat' the Princess was there. They there fore 'concluded that she hail lett the child, after retiring with it - as it appeared for the night.' At Catania it was that her Majesty having before advanced her 'Courier Bergami to be her Chamberlain, got him made a•Knight of Malta, and frOm that time he was styled " His Excellency" by her Ma jesty and her suite, but in addressing him the Queen - was tie; customedto call him 'cMonsieur Chevalier." Nothing but the unwo . rthy passion - which she had conceived coul4 have betrayed her Majesty into acts like those which he had de scribed. Whenfirst she visited Catania, the Nobility there were . desirons of paying her that attention which was clue totter exalted rank, hut it was soon observed that she who cared for no society but that.of her paramour, had little value for their regards, and her intercourse with the Nubility then grew less and less, From Catania her Majesty Went to Angusta. It was now four o'clock, and a number of Peers intimated a wish to adjourn, whilst_others requested that the Learned Gentleman should go on 13ut upon his replying to a question from one of their Lordships, " That he had not got half throUgh' this disgusting narrative," Lord Li..VERXQOL moved .au adjournment, which was immediately assented to.

LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 2.1, 1820. HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY. THE CHARGES AGAINST THE QIIEEN. • After the preliminary proceedings, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL resumed his statement. — The Learned Gentleman went on 'to trace the course of the QUEEN from Italy into Germany, and from thence to Como,, every step of her pro gressbeing marked by the same arrangements with regard to the proximity of 'BERGAMI'S chamber to her own, which had evidently taken place for the purpose of facilitating the connection between them: Upon different occasions the mostdisgusting familiarities were observed to pass between'them, •the QOE . pN . was at one tirne,seen sitting uPon his ,knee, at another; in sitting up in the same bed 'With him and undressed, and with his arm round her waist. In his absence, she appeared' un happy; r. n d always cheered by'his: presence. At Como, the QUEEN was 'repeatedly seen riding out in a small chaise in which she was sitting on BERGAMI's knee, then also a.. most disgust ing exhibition took place : a ruffianly man -whom the QUEEN had brought from a cart was employed to ' put 'himself in the' most indecent attitudes in her presence, and from which she appearet to derive the greatest 'pleasure. The influOce of BERGAMI continually 'increased; so that no, less than ten of his family :were at one time in the QUEEN'S Service ; still :pore, she entirely discontinued the Protestant Church service,'' and went to Mass, where she knelt by the side of BERGAMI. - The 'ATTORNEY GENERAL detailed a number of - facts of a similar tendency, to she* the para.. mount influence and ascendancy which BERG /mi had obtained over the QUEEN, which could only be accounted for by the adulterous inter course which was continually kept up be tween them, and which all the circumstances detailed, and that would be given in evidence, tended decidedly to prove. ' It was true that the class of persons . who must chiefly be called •to prove the facts, must be individuals in a lower station of life, but it was the same as ,in every other case of adulterous connection, where the fact, must in general, necessarily be proved by servants and persons employed about the parties. As to their being Italians, that could be no objection to their testimony since they were surely as much entitled to be lief as any other class of persons, " under circumstances not militating against s the truth of their testimony. The Learned Gentleman con cluded by calling the first witness, an Italian of le name of MAJOCCI. LOrd Ettsgisi. suggested, that means should be adopted to 'keep the Witnesses within call . of the House after their examination. The LORD CHANCELLOR - said that means for that purpose should be resorted to. Lord KING asked whether witnesses giving their evidence upon this Bill before the House were, in the event of their giving false testimo ny, legally liable to be indicted for perjury.. The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Earl of Li vEnrooL both answered in the affirmatis e. The QUEEN entered the llotte just after the' ATTORNEY-GENERAL had concluded. • The Witness, Ail AJocci, being called in, and appearing at the Bar to be examined, the mo 'ment the QUEEN saw him, her MAJEsTy uttered a loud scream and fainted; assistance was imme diately at hand, and the QUEEN having a little recovered was led out of the House. The Witness - ;lot understanding English, an Interpreter appeared, who on a- question asked by Mr. BROU'GRAM, ih was stated by the Attor ney-G eneral, was employed by the Solicitor to the Treasury. BROUqHAM required that an Interpreter should be sworn in behalf of THE QUEEN, whiCh was agreed to, and one was accordingly sworn. The examination of AlAJocci then proceed ed ; he stated his knowledge of IlErtGAinr, when the latter was in the service of General Piso, and afterwards in that of MUItAT. The witness was left under examination When our Reporter quitted the houe. . We hardly need remind our Readers, that from the moment when THE QUEEN announced her Demand to Parliament of having her con duct investigated by an open trial, we stated our opinion that no compromise could be admitted, and that a trial must absolutely take place. "We urged the same arguments as the Earl of LIVER POOL, with so much eloquence and irrefragable reasoning, advanced in the House of Lords on Friday last, and which his Lordship's amend ment rendered irresistible and conclusive. If any means could have been devised to obviate the exposure of the disgraceful circumstances which a trial must inevitably develope, we should have rejoiced with every loyal subject and every true friend of humanity. But it was impossible, without a sacrifice of justice, to cover the matter by a private arrangement. We are still as rt luctant as ever to presume the guilt of her MA JESTY, and we are disposed to consider it as im possible that she would so boldly and persever ingly maintain her innocence, if she felt the con sciousness of guilt, or did not rely on the defec tiveness of proof against her. But when we hear the ATTORNEY-GENERAL say, " if, in the recital of the circumstances which I have to detail, I shall be under the painful necessity of bringing before your Lordships scenes which must disgust every well-regulated mind—transactions which must offend the feelings of every honourable and virtuous person, I am sure your Lordships will think that upon this occasion I ought to hold no reserve—at the same time taking care to state nothing whiz.:ll, in my conscience, I do not be lieie I shall be able to substantiate by proof " when, we say, we hear such a declaration from a Law Authority who has risen to his situation by talents, professional learning, and the integrity of his private character, 'we cannot but remain in a state of the most painful suspence.—After the solemn. determination of the Judges, that no existing Law of this Country can meet the im puted offences, it is astonishing that any public Writer, who b i as the least sense of moral charac ter, can preSume to style the mode of trial adopted by the House of Lords " a monstrous proceeding,' as it is termed in The Old Times of this, day. The New Times designates The Old Times as " the derni-official Paper of TliE QUEEN." If it be so, from the character of that Journal, it cannot be doubted that it is well paid for all which it says in support of her cause and in hostility to the s Government, which, in conformity to her own solemn Demand, has entered upon a trial which it was anxious to avoid.—But what must be thought of any paper whose opinions are founded upon its pecuniary profits! Is it .pos sible that the reputation of any such paper can stand! It must sap the foundation of its ‘own character in the na-row views or temporary profit.—lf, indeed, the Opposition Journals had any sense of moral purity, or had even common policy, they would " assume a virtue if they had it not," and affect to be glad that any mode could. be devised for the discovery of truth and the ,satisfaction of justice, whether the ultimate decision should be favotirable •or otherwise to A-!. Party accused. The Address presented to her MAJEiTY, said to be from the Leicestershire Regiment of Mi litia, was perhaps so entitled, "but who the men were, what were the numbers, who signed the Address, or who presented it, no one has the hardihood to avow. As far as inquiry has - gone, no such measure can be attributed to that loyal Regiment ; no Regiment has behaved with more attention to discipline and good order dnring the time of their training and exercise, and those f the Officers and non-commissioned Officers, who could be found on the moment, never heard of any intention of the nature ,Of ihe Address, it is also observable, that the Regiment concluded their period of military exercise on the 25th of last month, the Address is dated on the 22d, and first appeared in print on the 18th of Au gust, twenty-seven days after its date. We received yesterday the 'Paris Papers of Thursday last. Those of Friday, which were due this morning, have not arrived. Th,: ad"- counts from Naples, of the 31st ult., state, that tranquillity had been completely restored in Si cily, and that the preceding statements had been much exaggerated. It appears that " only three Sicilians fell victims to the fury of the mob-- namely, Prince CATTOLICA, the - Prince d'Acr, and the Officer SAN Z.l. No'Neapolitatx has been ill-treated, except the 'Neapolitan troops, of whom four Officers and '2OO soldiers were more or less wounded." CA LAI'S, AUG. 19.—A. most dreadful fire broke out here last evening, at half-past seven o'clock, at the Entrepot (Custom-house Warehouse) for bonded goods. The large warehouse, the stables of the Porte aux. Chevaux, and a small house ad joining, were totally consumed. What made it the more alarming was, it began in the warehouse where there was an immense quantity of liquors of different descriptions, which made the blaze the more terrific ; a great part of these were de stroyed. No lives were lost, but several acci dents took place. The QUEEN went through various parts of the town' yesterday, and we regret to learn, that her Carriage rode ()Ver a boy in Tottenham Court Road, who was killed on the spot, and knocked down a man, who was severely wounded, and taken to the Hospital. , WiNoson, AUG. 10.—The KING , has fre quently rode out during the past week, attended by Sir WILLIAM KEPPEL. His Majesty has taken an extensive survey of Windsor Castle, viewing all the antiquities and modern. apartments of that stupendous building: The KING seemed to be deeply affected upon visiting the apartMents re cently occupied by his venerable Father. 'On Thursday evening summonses were issued for the assembling of a Cabinet Council on Fri day.. Owing to the Cabhiet•Ministers being en gaged in Parliament upon the Bill respecting the QUEEN, the meeting did not take place till half past nine o'clock at night. They continued in de liberation till near twelve. The departure of Mr. VESEY FITZGERALD; as Ambassador to Sweden, takes place immediately ; for which pu''pose the Iphigenia frigate, Captain I)AnicEn, proceeds directly from Portsmouth to Yarmouth to receive him on board, and pro ceed direct to Stockholm. The Cambrian frigate at Plymouth is fitting for the conveyanceof Lord STR iNGFORD and suite to Constantinople. Captain W. C. 11.pm.Tos is appointed to command the Cambrian. The worthy Burgesses of Berwick-upon-Tweed have no reason to complain of a want of opportu nities of exercising their elective franchise, they having had three elections within these two years past—and now a fourth canvass by a neighbour ing Baronet, Sir F. BLAKE, who comes forward on the plea of an approaching dissolution of the pre sent Ministry, and consequent new Parliament !! The Gazette of Saturday notifies that his MA JESTY haS ordered a Conte d'Elire to pass the Creat Seal, authorizing the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln to supply the vacancy in that See, and that he has recommended to their choice the Bishop of EXETEll—also, that Deputy Assistant Commissary General Ron. REYNOLDS has been dismissed the sell ice, for misapplying to his own use a very large quantity of stores, the whole of which, however, he had subsequently replaced ; yet such conduct was contrary to his duty as a. Commissariat Officer. THE QUEIPN. As soon as it was made known that het MAJESTY did not attend at the House of Lords, on Saturday, the Military were relieved from their duty, and an intimation was sent to the High Bailiff that his services.would be dispensed with for flie_remainder of the day. Saturday, at two A. at., one of the Queen's Couriers arrived at Brandenburgh House from Rome. Her Majesty rose immediately, examined all the papers,- separated them, and wrote in structions to Mr. Vizard, he; Solicitor. Alders man' Wood (who has slept at Brandenburgh louse from .the time her Majesty took posses-, sion) was also called up to receive dispatches from his 'son, who went out as translator of the [talian language. The Alderman arrived at her Majesty's - residence in St. James's-square about ten o'clock, in his chaise. 'The Alderman then proceeded to the House ,of Lords with a large . packet of papers, and a folio manuscript volume, Which he delivered . toMr. Vizard, her Mijesty's Solicitor. Her Majesty's, state carriage was driven dawn to . Hammersmith on Saturday, and , we understand-that in , future it is her Majesty's intention to proceed . directly from thence, with out stopping' in' St. James's-square, to Palace Yard. Yesterday evening her Majesty, accompanied. by Lady Ann Hamilton and Alderman Wood, took an airing in an open carriage drawn by four : horses, throughAlummersmitlt, Knightsbridge and turned at' Hyde, Park corner througliSt.l: James's Park,,tlyaugh - • the Horse Guards; over' Westminster -Bridge,. and. returned to Branden burgh House by Fulham. .I.n consequence of the Queen's attendance:ae the House of Lords, her Majesty received several AddresSes. at Brandenburgh House yesterday, viz.:—Colonel Davies presented the Worcester Mr. Gilbert Heathcote, the 'Boston ; Alderuher Wood presented nn Saturday to her Majesty twO, from Bath, one signed try four thousand females', and the other with the same number of males. During the scene of turbulence which pre.- vailed in St. James's-square on Friday, her • Majesty had the mortification to-witness - the sort of characters to whom she is indebted for such an ardent anxiety for her welfare ; we allude' to an attempt which Was actually made, by those who seemed most zealous to approach her Ma'. jesty's person, to rob her footman of the g old' shoulder-knots .which.are attached to their state ve ries.
