Did any one take it up ?—Bergami took it up. While her Royal Highness turned to me to re quire some verbal information from me, Bergami pretended to read it. Was this without asking Leave ?—Yes. Were you after that sent to Milan with any letter ?—I was sent to Milan in the beginning.of Deeember with a dispatch tp the Governor, SAURALT. Did you get any answer to that dispatch ?—I was desired by Bergami to make great speed, and if possible to return the same night. Did you return that night ?—I returned imme diately after midnight. When you returned back where did you go.? —I got off my horse, and went, into the kitchen, - where I found one of the foc;tmen up, and asked him where Bergami was. I afterwards went up stairs, and went into Bergami's anti-room. What happened when you got lito the anti room ?-1 . found Bergami's servant asleep ; I then went:to Bergami's bed-room, and found the door, open ; I went in and saw that Bergami's bed was tumbled, but there was nobody in it. What did you do then ?—I went away, but in going, I heard a noise on the opposite side ; I heard and knew Bergami's voice, and I laid, was the Courier from Milan.' Did any one answer you ?-13ergami spoke, and told me it was not necessary to trouble him to give the answer at that time. .10w was Bergami dressed at the time ?—lle was in his bed gown, or dressing gown. Did you perceive what he wore under his dressing gown ?—lt was open, or untied, and I saw nothing but his shirt under it. Where was it that you then saw Bergami?—l saw - him in a roam, the door of which was op posite the door of his own room. - .• • - Can you say where Bergami came from at that time ?-1 could not see on account of the darkness. Where did the door lead to, that was opposite Lier#Mi's ?—To two more rooms. Were these rooms occupied ?—They were un occupied. Do you know where the Princess slept, or where her bed-room was ?—I do not. While you were at the Villa d'Este, did you evergee Bergami and the Princess both together ? Several times. Where did you see them ?--I saw them walk ing in" the garden. _ How were they walking when you saw them ? Arm in arm. Do yon recollect your carrying a latter to Ge neral Pino ?—I do. bid you bring back an answer to it ?—I b: ought a verbal. message. To whom aid you deliver it ?—To the Prin cess, who was in her own anti-chamber,at the time. Whereabouts was that and s -chamber ?—When I mounted up stairs there was a corridor to the left, and upon turning to the left-hand, there waggle anti-chamber of the Princess. Was that anti-chamber near where you saw Beikami, or where was it ?—lt was near the place where I saw Bergami. Do you mean where you saw Bergami that night on your return from Milan ?—I do. _ How hear, wasit ?—in the same corridor on the and opposite the door of her Royal Highness, a door which led to a room, which room led to another .room where I saw Bergami. !low did the Princess address Bergami ; I mein what expressions did she use, when walk ing arm in arm with him, or at other times ?—I have heard her Royal Highness call Bergami mon Ande ! mon Amour! and mon Ccsur ! a t different times. Da you remember the Princess going to Tu rin t I do. Did you accompany her there ?—I did. What inn did her Royal Highness and Berga mi go to at Turin?—They put up at the Inn of the Universe (Globe Inn.) Did you go there before the Princess went ? I got before her at the last stage. Did you make any Arrangement respecting the roams for the Princess and her suite ?---Yes; it ;Its arranged between me and the innkeeper, to allot the best apartments to her Royal Highness, then to her Dame d'Honneur, and to her Gentle man I allotted another apartment quite separate to itself. . . Did that arrangement continue, dr TM it alter ed at any time ?—No ; on the arrival of the Princess and Bergami, I shewed them the -dis tribution 1 had made, but it did not meet their approbation; and the appartment which . I allot ted for the Dame d'Honneur, was changed for that of Bergami's. By this alteration, how near was the chamber of Bergami to that of the Princess ?—Between the room of her Royal Highness . and Bergami's, there was only the room where the Countess of Oldi slept. Was there a communication from Bergami's room to the Countess of Oldi's room ?—There was a mutual communication. How long did the Princess - and Bergami re-- main at Turin ?—About six days. . Do you remember going with tits Princess to Barona ?—Yes. . . Were there any balls given there by the Prin cess ?--Many balls. Do you recollect what description of persons attended these balls ?—At first, some people of distinction attended them; but afterwards there were servants and people of a very low condi tion. There were great freedoms between her Royal Highness's suite and the - ,.women, and people of distinction were no longer seen. • What do you mean by freedom' or freedoms ? Persons took the women out from the ball-room, at their pleasure. They made them go out, and retired with them. Did the Princess know this ? Mr. DENNIAN here objected to this question, as likely to give rise to hearsay answers, which might turn out to be nothing at all. The Loan CHANCELLOR then suggested that it might be better to ask what the Princess wit nessed there. Examination resumed. Q. Hare you ever heard the Princess say any thing respect ing these halls, or about the persons so going out or corning in ?—A. No. Did any communication take place respecting those per . sons between the Princess and you ?—One day, in the court, her Royal Highness told me, before Berganti, that she wished 'to make presents to some of the young women ; and she add ed, " How can we dress the young maids ?" Her Royal Highness said besides to nee, " Do ; you believe they are honest ?"—I replied that' believed them to be honest girls, and that. I had nothing to say against Aliens. - Her Royal Highness then answered me—" 1 know, you rogue ! you have gone to bed with three of them, and how many times' you had intercourse with them."—l, being surprized at this compliment from the Princess, persuaded her Royal Higbgesk that she had been deceived. At the same time, Beropl, who was there, cried aloud, " It is true, it is true, it is tru*." Some difference of opinion here arose in the House res pecting the interpretation of the Italian word signifying young maids,'when Mr. Guasiy was ordered to insert the original word " ," in his notes. Do you know which of these girls it was to whom the Prin cess had intended to make a present ) —I do not. ,Have you ever seen the Princess at these balls, among the girls, and the low persons you talked oil—Several times,,and sometimes she danced with them. Have you over heard her Royal Highness make any obser vation or remark on these women heard her Royal High ness remark, on one occasion, how much the population of Barona had inereased. - Did you accOmpany.ber Royal Highness to Germany ?=Yes. Do yon remember Bergami, during that journey, buying a carriage to contain two persons ?—1 d3._ _ Afte - r that, can yOu recollect. who travelled in the carripge ? —At night, and daring bad weather, it was for my use. Did the Princess herself ever travel in it ?—Yes, during the day in fair weather: With whom ?—lierganti. Do you remember on any one occasion the Princess and Bergami going oSt before you ?—I remember it happened at a certain place, but 1 have forgotten the name. Her Royal Highness and Bergami sct nut suddenly in this small car riage, and I could not follow them in time, as I had other cart nixes to attend to. I followed them as soon as I could, and in haste, but I could not overtake them till they had reached the first stage. When you arrived, did you see the Priniess and Bergami any where asked about them and - was ptiinted to a room. Did you go into the room ?-4 knocked at the door, and Bergami said," Come in."- After that, I saw her R. H. on the bed, decently dressed. They were lying on the - bed as far as the middle of it, and the back was supported against the Wa In the course of that ,journey, did you stop at any inn where English persons were ?—1 dots't know. Had you at any time received your directions from any person on the subject of the English remember when I preceded her It. H. on the road to Munich, she told me, the very first thing I was to attend to, in settling for lodgings for her, was to inquire if any English were there; and that if any were there, I was to inquire his rank, and go somewhere else for lodgings for her Royal Highness. In the course of that journey, what was the general dispo sition of the bed rooms of Bergami and the Princess took lodgings no further than Carlsruhe, where the bed rooms were changed. I did not meddle in it any more, but left her Royal Highness and Bergami .to chute what apartments thy liked best. Mere the ATTORNEY-GENERAL took occasion to remark, that the witness had not answered the question put to him, and he repeated it. I ask you, do you recollect the relative situation of the bed rooms of the Princess and Bergami, in general, at that time ? In general, they were as near as possible.' FOR THE SUN. CROSS QUESTIONS. Mn. EDlTOR—Ministers are blamed for bring ing forward certain evidence, as if they could have created witnesses, of high rink, of the de tails which it is necessary to prove—but, where individuals of high rank separate themselves from high society, who can bear -witness to their conduct, except their domestics and associates ? At present great stress also is laid upon the let ters of a female witness—but I conceive these do not invalidate her evidence in the slightest degree. Her letters detail opinions ; but her evidence states facts. To take an extreme case, even beyond the in sinuations of Counsel—erle commonest woman on the town may swear, and her evidence be taken too, to the facts of Adultery, though in her opinion the parties tray have done no wrong and may be the best people in the world ! The commonest woman on the town may be forced ; and her ravishe •r, on her testimony, may be hung! It is needles s therefore for Counsel, under the protection of their gowns and wigs, to damn the character of a witness by cross ques tions without foundation. Observe ! a celebrated cross questioner has al ready, upon one par ticular occasion, actually ac knowledged that a main insinuating question was without foundation . Your's, I. O. N. If the National Character were to be esti mated by the Addresses which are poured upon THE QUEEN, it might be inferred, that if we are an amiable, we are a weak People. To felicitate HER MAJESTY on her arrival, before the Charges against her were submitted to the world, would have manifested a loyal and liberal spirit, and would have been an act of national courtesy pro per and becoming; but to persevere in addressing her as the innocent victim of a vile Conspiracy, and exempt from all suspicion of guilt, is not only absurd. but immoral. We say this without mean ing in the slightest degree to give any opinion as to. Han MAJESTY'S innocence or guilt, but merely for the purpose of proving to the Addressers that they are acting injudiciously for their own credit, and not in any manner to serve HER . MAJESTY. But we are particularly sur prised to see any Memb'ers of the Church, and still more so those who are invested with its dig nities, haiarding their character in the eyes of mankind, by taking a leading part in the promo tion of such Addresses. For th i s credit of the Order, however, very few have come conspi cuously forward on these occasions. We were sorry indeed to read the sentiments uttered by Archdeacon BATHURST at the late Nor folk Meeting, if we may trust to the News paper report of his Speech. The Reverend Gentleman is reported to have said, " that so far from having the shelter of the greatness that was allied to her rank and station, she had, if all that had been said was true, Emperors and Potentates and Principalities in league against her, and encouraging the production of witnesses for her ruin." Why should the Reverend Gen tleman suppose for a moment that such a combina tion or conspiracy should exist ? Why should he not patiently wait to see whether HER MAJESTY deserves " the shelter of the greatness that was allied to her rank and station ?" We have felt it to be our duty not to enter into the merits of the case, but to leave it to the investigation of a wise and honourable Tribunal that can have nothing but justice in view. Her MAJESTY'S Counsel and Agents are amply furnished with pecuniary means to bring evidence in her favour, and nobody ought to repine at an expellee which each individual of the Public could hardly feel, and which altogether is a trifle to the objects in view, the development of truth, and the satisfac tion of justice. The Rev. Gentleman cannot possibly think that HER MAJESTY ought quietly to sit down under such heavy accusations, or that, after she had demanded a Trial, and the Charges were promulged, no Trial should have taken place. Th e n what is it that he wanted, and why should he have thought it necessary to disregard his sacred calling so far as to mingle himself with political matters, when the awful duties of his function are surely sufficient for all his time and We received this morning the Paris Papers of Saturday last. If we are to judge from the sud den fall in the French Funds on Friday of more than 1+ per cent. there must have been some re newal of alarm in the Capital. If it were not so, this sudden fall was undoubtedly calculated to excite an alarm, particularly under present cir cumstances ; and thus, in order to obviate its effects, the Monitcur has the following article : " It was well known that great speculations took place on the Exchange ; they had long been defeated by public confi dence, and nothing led to a belief that this confidence could be changed by false reports. But whether the interests of Stock-jobbers became seriously compromised, or whether the factious deemed it politic to interfere with the public funds, it is evident that attempti hare been made to lower the price of stocks by the circulation of absurd rumours. This has been carried Si, far as to announce that it is intended to issue an Otdonnance to place a certain number of Departments out of the pale of the Charter; that whole legions are fighting in the Department of the North, and that the towns of Brest and Strashourg are in a state of rebellion. It is astonishing that such assertions should for a moment have 'found eve deuce, and theiefore their effect could not be of long dura tion. On 'Change this morning the rentes fell at first as low as 75 francs 50 cents ; but reflection soon exposed the absue. dity of these rumours, and before the close of the market the price rose as high as 16 flatus 70, cents. There cannot he a more positive proof of the just wanner in which public opi nion has appreciated these fabrications, on which interested sifsculators hate dared to calculate." Ate. ECOMO EDITION: SUN-OFFICE, Half-Past Firs , HOUSE OF LORDS.—(T His EvszoNa.) THE QUEEN. The Examination of SACCHI continued tl whole day. His evidence was part of it strong' against the .QUEEN than any yet given ) 1 having sworn that he saw the PaiNcEis BI:RGAMI in a carriage with their hands upon eacl. `be a 4 others persons, in a manner that cannot scribed in a Pubiic Newspaper.
