THE SUN DICEItE ALIDE.iT LON1)0N , W.ED A - Es DA I, AUGUST. 23, 1820. • The - attempt to overthrow the Government of France, as stated in The Moniteur of the 20th inst., an Extract from which we have inserted this day, has been frustratiql for the present, but We have little reliance on the security of that Govertnnent ou the death or the KiNG.—The truth' is, that Monarchy is assailed by ensnaring doctrines and secret practices all over the Conti nent, and we fear, indeed expect, that the euttnpli: of Spain and Naples will be followed in evvry other State. Foreign Monarchs must not now temporize with their subjects, and at one moment promise them a Representative Legisla tive.BodY, and then recede, supposinq that the daliger it over, and that things will go on in the old Way.-,2-They do not calculate on the progress of knowledge and the general sense of civil and po litical rights, which is its natural result. Still less should one State attempt to interfere, in the con cerns of another. The spirit of liberty cannot be curbed, and will never want ambitious and disperate men, who will try all means to force it into action. Our late wise and good KING, as we, have before observed, said, in reflecting on the French Revolution, he did not believe that in -a hundred years hence there would be any Monarch in Europe. The vicissitudes which have since taken place, and the datt.4er, that now threaten, seem to give a prophetic character to this opinion of our late revered St,ereign. But much, if not all, depends on the conduct of the respective Gor'rnments, and if they are so absurd .as to„believe, upon poetical authority, that " There's such Divinity /huh iicti:; - c a King, " 'flint Treason can bat peap In what it w'onid,” they will find themselves lamentably mistaken. We - stke that, under the mild and merciful juris prudence of this Country, Rebellion rears its heal with the utmost boldness, and that the Pr - ess every day overflows with Treason and Blasphemy, threatening the existence of our Po.. laical 'Constitution in Church and State. The People in all Countries are more enlightened than they were at any former period. Their -fights -must lie respected, and their burthens miatte . mitigated, or they will be roused into the Most dangerous excesses, which, in the event, canlinly be' injurious to themselves, by converting the - limited and just aorrei - nmQnt of an Heredi tarp Monarchy into "the ruinous , despotism, ! of a a:ob.—The following are the details given likthe Mosittiur PARIS, AUG. 20. 77 •F0r -serno,time. past Go "vOrnrilerit his been in possession of information that rriachinations were employed to seduce tile trooPp to revolt. They were . satisfied. that the good spirit which animates the French s )Idiers would baffle the projects formed by certain men always ready to sacrifice their own honour and the repose of their Country to theil.pride and cu pidity. The Government watched all their pro ceedings. .these madmen believed, that they , were sufficiently powerful to overturn the Throne, and*the protecting institutions that France owes to her King. A certain number of officers and.: • I non-commissioned, officers of the corps in ga.rri ion -at Paris had, been seduced. There -$.1 , , - nre . • some even of the 'Royal Guard who suffered themselves to be drawn into the plot. '• " Yesterday evening these officers agreed among themselves to,tueet' at the barracks, t o assemble the soldiers, to march against the Pa lace of our Kings', and to proclaim as Sovereign some MeMber of the Buonapartean family ; but *liiitny of those whom they had attempted to se ' duce by their perfidious proposals, did not hesi tate to repair immediately to their Chiefs, and • '• discover the plot which was ahout.to explode.— GUverament could delay no longer, Thise who had taken part in this c.riminal Cmpiracy, arrested by the Gendarmerie. • " It appears that one part of the plan 4.f . the Conspirators was to s,ei.:ze on the Castle of Vin cennes. A fire that was . soon extinguished, broke out there at three &clock the afternoon. It is reasonable to suppose that this was intended to create disorder, and favour an attack. " France has a right to expect that such an attempt will be punished in a manner that shall intimidate all thos'e`who, forgetting their duty and their oaths, .w.ould turn against social erl those arms which have been confided to th , m its defence. Nothing ought to be neglected Cult may secure the authors and accomplices of a conspiracy, which, directed againSt the Throne and the Charter, attacked at the same time every member of the state in his dearest 'sentiments and best rights. " The most elevated tribunal, that which the Charter with'a salutary foresight..has charged to repress attempts against_ the safety of. the'State, will no doubt be called upon to sit in judgment on the greatest crime that the law can have to punish. , " Sheltered from all influence, above ail' si ,nister: suggestions, - that august Tribunal, batter than any other, will recognize innocence, and dis miss ill-founded suspicions, while it detects' the guilty, whoever they may be. " The city of 'Paris enjoy's, the most perfect tranquillity. The citizens have learnt, in the same moment, "the existence of the plot and the arrest of its authors." Yesterday afternoOn the French .Ambassador receked a Messenger from Calais, who brought a Telegraphic Dispatch 'frOm Paris, confirming the above details, and stating that the healtb s of the KING was better than it has been. THE QUEEN. This morning her MAJEiTY arrived from Bran denburgh-house, at her reoden:e in St. James's square, at 20 minutes to eleven, and proceeded soon after to the House of Lords. where she ar rived at five minutes after elesen. The crowd was hnmense in every quarter, and her ;\l.l.lcstY was enthusiastically cheered by all. She looked extremely well. HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY. The Loizn eItANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsftek reeisely at ten o'cl'oc!c. ; after which, prayers were read as usual by the Lord Bishop of Llaudaff. The Clerk then read over the list of names, and no defaulters appearing, the LOrd Chance!for directed the cross-examination of the witness Majocci to be resumed. Mr. BROUGHAM, Mr. DENMAN, &c. took their places at the Bar, as did also Theodore Ma jocci, attended by the Deputy Usher of the Black Rod. Previous to the examination commencing, The Earl of DARLINGTON rose to move that the evidence which was received in support of the present charges day by day should be print ed, and thus put into the hands of Members. It would be of the greatest possible advantage to their Lurdships to have, this given them, because they would thereby be the bettor. enabled to form a cool crn lesion on the subject. He there fore moved that an order of their Lordships should be made to that effect. 'The Earl Of LI vrapoor. said, that there could be no possible objection to the motion of the No . l• ble Lord; • but he suggested that perhaps it might be as well for their Lord Ship- not to make any formal order on the subject. The delay of which the Noble. Lord complained was , occasioned solely . •by an anxiety to put their Lordships in possession of, ,the most accurate statement of the Evidence—a thing to be at all times desired, but partiCularly in a case of such vital importance as' the present. , Ile would, however, suggest that the ordinary mode might be adopted, instead of any-formal order. The flarl of L'A.uptrtir agreed with the two ,1 Noble Lords in the propriety of having the Evi dence furnished to their•L i ordships every morn ing. lie believed that the:Noble Earl at the Head of the Treasury WaS sincere in what he stated, because be knew that the delay in print ing the Evidence was occasioned by the Notes of the Short-hand Writer being furnished to the Clerk of the house, with whose notes they were afterviards compared, and then sent to the Printer. Ile therefore agreed, that perhaps the Lest and most satisfactory way of acting would be to let the Short-hand Writer's notes be at once sent to the Printer, because by so doing their Lordships would be in early possession of the facts, and would thereby be able, in the hours of retirement from the House, to read over the whole, and come to a legitimate conclusion. The Earl of LIVERPOOL pledged himself that the F,vidence she tld be regularly .printed and delivered to their Lordships. The Earl of DARLINGTON was perfectly satis fied, and withdrew his Motion. Oeders were accordingly given for the print ing of the evidence, de die irt diem. Mr. BaouGtom then proceeded in the cross-ex= amination of Theodore Majocci.—Witness does not remember the Princessbing visited by a-German Baron at Genoa or Venice. Remembers one com ing to see her while at the Villa Viliani. -Can not remember his name, Does not rethember if it was liotnaer. 'Does not remember if it Was OmpJetta: Can't say what the name was. The room of Bergami. 5 contiguous to that of the Queen. It was accessible thro' witness's apartment. There was another" passage. Billy, as he was called, Or William Austen, slept in a contiguous apartment. None of the , domestics were re moved to any great distance. The Princess had an open free manner. She was very familiar to all about her, particularly to Bergami. On leaving her service, witness was supplied with ,money. Does not know whom it came froth. It lasted some time. Does not remember when it was done. In one place - there was a room wliere the Queen stopt, and which was close to her's, and was called the " Baron's room." Does not remember mho the Baron was. Does not re member name. Does not remember whence he was supplied with money - after the former sum was exhausted. (The lut2rpreter had some dif ficulty in making him understand this ques tion, and the answer was given with much reluctance; and some, difficulty occurred in giving the proper explanation.) The Witness lived free of charge at present. Does not think • but that he will be called on for payment of-liis bill. The servants rooms were near those of the. Princess. There was a second passage to his room, instead of going through the Cabinet. When - our. Reporter left the - House, Mr. Bnou.onAm had finished his cross-examination, and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL had commenced his - re-examination of the witness. Her MAJESTY was present. We shall steadily refrain from all animadver sions on the alleged conduct of THE QUEEN, not withstanding the lamentable narrative of the first witness, who is chiefly attacked by the factious writers because he does not remember specified facts which he is required to answer. It may be observed that it was impossible for him to ima gine that he should ever be called to give evi dence upon what he had seen, in a foreign country. G ranting that Many. things which might have passed before him were not observed by him, yet what he did observe, does remember, and has stated, is fully sufficient, if true. It should be ob served, too, that he is placed in a scene wholly new, and before the most august Tribunal on earth, and, therefore, it is to be supposed that under such an impression such faculties as he possesses might be bewildered. But we are glad that her MAJESTY'S Counsel have free lati tude of cross-examination ; and if they can dis prove the evidence of this Witness, and convict him of perjury, let him be consigned to the ab horrence, the infamy, and the punishment which he will deserve. Many attempts have been made to eAplain the almost frantic agitation which THE QUEEN discovered at the sight of this Wit ness, and the exclamation which she uttered, and words have been added to it which she assuredly - did not utter : all that she positively said was " Theodore," or " Oh! Theodore;" but we are assured that " Theodore" was all she did say:— It is urged ,that Tut Qc EEN , Was informed that this Witness was to appear against her. If so, her surprise is not to be.acconnted for, and her ex clemation is wholly inexplicable, and any at tempts to explain it must proceed from partial mo tives on one side or other. Though we should be shocked on finding that corrupt and wicked Witnesses should exist, we shall rejoice to see their falsehoods detected, their malignity de feated, and her MAJESTv's innocence fully aster tained.--:But what must be thought of The Old Times, which accuses Government of a Conspi racy against THE QUEEN, and accords to her the honours of TRIUrefPIIANT INNOCENCE, though but one Witness has been examined—and which says " every tittle of the calumny has destroyed itself "—adding, " we trust we may announce to the expectant Nation that the festive gar lands may be preparing." If- Tha Old, Times thinks thus upon the evidenCe of one witness, be cause that witness cannot recollect every thing, or may have appeared inconsistent on some , points, what must be thought of the understanding of the Writer; and if he does not think so, what must bc, thought of his, morality ? In fact, the whole of his reasoning is an outrage on common sense, add an insult to die Cou-atry, nut let thu fo. lowing passage, taken from The Old Times o' this day, speak for itself, and then let the worlu at large reflect on what respect and what credo a Paper capable of such infamous personalitie, and such daring•libels.upon Government, ougll t to receive from the Public at large : " Upon the getting up of this conspiracy, i'l °l l shall have 'more to say hereafter—suffice it to observe at present, that this wretched witneffi l who probably does not know what an 00 means, was housed and fed by the British Air, bassador, Lord Stewart, a man of an extra( Lion as low as that of Bergarni—of fortunes a IA ' most as rapid—and who has been married to elid of the Nilealthiest heiresses in Britain, the prese!, King grating the intended union with his presenc ° l and approbation." We need not comment upon this libellous char"/ of con'.4piracy on 'Government, low abuse of ; 1 Nobleman of high family and the folly of suppe ing that "a man who" probably does not know whst an oath means," should be chosen by as wise n''' (l and honourable a tribunal as ever existed to 0 0 a Royal Individual, and to impose upon th e Country and =mankind !!
