HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY. THE QUEEN. The LORD CHANCELLOR came down this morn ing at five minutes before ten, after which prayers were read by the Bishop of BRISTOL. The usual call was then proceeded with. At 1.5 minutes past tea Counsel were called in. Rumours were in circulation that a Message or Petition would be presented from the QUEEN re specting the letters which were offered yesterday by Mr. BROUGHAM, but it was not presented in the early stage of the days' proceedings. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL now resumed his Reply, by observing, that when he yesterday dosed what he had the honour to address to their Lordships, he had brought down the evidence to the end of her ,'Majesty's long voyage or journey. He had already, then, noticed that in the course Of that journey her Royal Highness had thought proper td confer a new 'Order on some persons belonging to her suite. The mention of that circumstance had excited the merriment and ridi cule' of his Learned Friend (Mr. Brougham), who seemed to imagine that because this charge 'formed part of the preamble of the Bill, it was inserted 'as a subtantive charge against the Queen; buttheir Lordships would observe, and his Learned Friends on the other side could not be ignorant of it, that it was stated as only one pia of that system which bad marked her Royal .I,lighness's conduct since her departure from this country. however it might suit the purpose of Air. Brougham to -turn into ridicule this part of the preamble of the Bill, he considered it to be a matter of grave concern—not indeed that such an Order had been instituted by the Princess of Wales, but that her Courier 13orgarni -was so distio.goished in it. What, he would ask, was the occasion of all this ? It ap ,peared, from the wording of the Order, that it was instituted by her Royal Highness to reward those faithful Knights who had accompanied her during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land.— Perhaps their Lordships would here be struck by the reflectiost which occurred in this instance to him, that it might have been supposed her Royal Highness's mind would have been occupied with other. thoughts in the vicinage of the Holy Se pulchre ; but it must be remembered that it had been stated in evidence by Madame Du mont, and had not been contradicted at their Lordships' bar by any one of the witnesses for the Queen, that from the period of her Royal High ness's leaving Genoa, the household of the Prin cess of Wales, while she herself stood on the threshold of the Throne, had omitted to ce lebrate that service, which never ought to have been omitted in the household of a per sonage of her expectations and rank, namely, the due performance of Divine Worship, in conformity with the : principles and practice of the Established Church of this United Kingdom. This, however, was not done.— No! but she accompanied her favoured man, the idol of her choice, to those places of worship which were agreeable to his professed creed, though contrary, to that adapted by her, and ne glected what, he would repeat it, should never have been emitted by a Princess of her distin guished rank. 'Returning to this aew Order of faithful Knights, their Lordships would observe that it was on this occasion that Bergami was first dignified with the rank of a Colonel, when he was never any thing more than a Quarter-Master. Nor was this enough for that individual whom his Royal Mistress thus delighted to honour, for not only was he made a Colonel and Baron, but promoted to be Grand Master of the Or der, • which, however ridiculous, was directel to remain in Bergami's family for ever. When, therefore, their Lordships found Bergami so assuming such eminent rank, this alone was an important fact, and proved not only his familia rity with her Royal Highness, but likewise the kindness she bore towards him. Why, he would ask, was this man distinguished so far above all the rest of her Royal Highness's suite? What reason could be assigned for this preference on her part ? 0, yes, there was a reason to be found, and he trusted their Lordships had discovered it., Bergami had accompanied the Princess at various times, and in various parts, from the tent on the polacca to other tents on shore, to palaces and to inns. This being the case, be should at present leave it entirely with their Lordships, without further observations on his part. He should not even pause to comment on the parting of her Royal Highness with Bergami at Terracina, but proceed to what actually took place after her Royal Highness had return ed back again to the Villa d'Este. By re ference to pages .34, 47, 81, and 295 of the evidence now before the House, it appeared that alterations were at that period made in the apart meats at the Villa d'Este, in order to facilitate that intercourse which was charged in the preamble of the Bill. He wished here to call their Lordships' recollection to this fact, testified both by Majocci and Dumont, and because his Learned Friend Mr. Williams had contended that the door directed to be opened by her Royal Highness was merely to improve a smoky room. After all, however, when his Learned Friend had produced the architect and mason at the Bar ) his Learned Friend - had failed to disprove the alleged fact, and forind that his witnesses could not come up to the mark he wanted. In this particular their Lordships would observe that the evidence of .Majocci and Dumont still remained as it was, and there existed no doubt that the alteration in those apartments was made purposely, and formed part of that system whitfi was to be traced from begin ning to end . ; and, uponthese grounds, he would submit that the ;ntercourse must have taken place. It was not his intentions to detain their. Lordships further on the subject of the Villa d'Este. Coming to another part, half way between the Villa d'Este and Baracina, their Lordships would find some circumstances which were testified by the waiter at the inn, and which his Learned Friends had not ventured to contra dict. He referred to page 417 of the evidence on the table of the House. During the stay of her Royal Highness and Bergami at this inn, it was proved by the waiter that they were observed to pay compliments to each other, took delicate mor sels together, and that, after the company had re tired, he saw Bergami kiss the Princess. Both of them afterwards went up stairs. This single fact, which might have been contradicted if not true, for his Learned Friends were allowed acne enough to have brought evidence to refute it, still re mained as it was. Even the character- of the waiter was not attempted to be attacked by his Learned Friends. And here he must remind their Lordships, that, notwithstanding all the invec t;ves and imputations thrown so frequently out by his Learned Friends against the evidence for the prosecution, not even one witness had been produced by the Counsel for her Majesty to prove that his witnesses were not credible in their own country. No! There was not one respectable per son to be found, either from Milan or Corno, who would venture to depose at their Lordships' Bar, or any where else, that those witnesses were not to be believed on oath. If, therefore, this single fact remained to him, deposed to him by Galli, what reasonable man was prepared to deny that even one such solitary fact, showed to demon stration what the intercourse was ? Even his Learned Friend, Mr. Brougham, had been con- strained to admit that the act of sitting on a gun, between a male and female, with the arms of one entwined round the other's neck, was certainly all except the granting the last favour. He would maintain, then, ac cording to the doctrine of the Counsel for her Majesty, that in this instance he had established an inference of that intercourse which was charged in the preamble of the Bill. Coming now to that part of the evidence which related to her Royal Highness's tour into Germany, he wished to examine the case (pp. 323, 324,) with refe rence to what occurred at Charnite. ft would be remembered that her Royal Highness was proceeding on her way, when herself and suite were detained or stopt, from want of pass ports, and she was obliged to retard her jour ney till the following day. Dumont, while de posing to the intervening scenes, had stated that she was ordered by her Royal highness to retire from her room, on a particular occasion, but that Bergami remained in the room together with her Royal Highness till the following day. Now, bow did the matter stand with respect to proof on either side ? Ile had been charged with not prov ing this part of his case, but he entreated their Lor dships to observe what Mr. Brougham had achiev ed on his part, who said that preparations were made for setting outiannediately on the return of Bergami, in the short period of one hour and a half. Further than this, it was alleg ed that'.l witnesses should be brought to contrad ict this part of the .evidence; but if their Lordships would refer to p.p. 743 and 945, they would find that only two witnesses were brought. Among the witnesses who might have been produced by the Coun sel for the Queen, he could guess, pretty clearly, why one important witness had not been brought could certainly • guess why the Countess of Oldi had never keen pro duced. But, to the cane, and here he would ask, was her Royal Highness's baggage then packed up, or not, when Bergami got back ? Upon this subject there existed no doubt; for it appeared in evidence, that the bag gage had never been unpacked at all, so that there was nothing to prepare in order to depart. It resulted from a testimony of Vas sali (p. 937) that Bergami, on his return, went into her Royal Highness's room, but that witness did not say whether she was dressed or un dressed on that occasion. He afterwards says, however, that the Princess was covered with shawls, or something like it.--Dumont, in her evidence, did not say whether the Princess was covered or not ; but she was asked if any one was permitted to remain hi the bed-room with her R. H. With respect to the time, it appeared that this happened in the month of March, yet her Royal Highness did not set out till after breakfast on the morning which followed the evening of Bergami's return with passports he had been dispatched for. Dumont's evidence so far corresponded with that given by Vassali.—[Here the Attorney-General, with great clearness, went over the evidence as applying to this particular fact, and shewed that her Royal Highness might have set out sooner than she did, and ridiculed the notion of Vassali's running back to and from her Royal Highness's bed-room, and so watching the Princess and Bergami, that they could not possibly do any thing except what this witness must have seen.] After this, the Learned Counsel next commented on what passed in the bed-room of the inn at Carlsrhue. He defended the 'testimony of Bar bara Krantz ; and he shewed that she was con firmed by the evidence of Lieutenant Hownam in the principal points, while her testimony was dis proved by no other.—(Left speaking.) We have received Demerara Papers to the 7th of August, which contain advices from several other colonies in the West Indies. The Governor of Trinidad had beea absent for about ten weeks on a cruize for the benefit of his health, but had returned ; and several Ad dresses had been presented to him, one of which was to request his Excellency to.advise his MA -3 tsTy's Ministers to extend to that Colony the inestimable benefits of a British Constitution and Trial by Jury. The accounts from To bago mention that the 4th Regiment has suf fered very severely in officers and men by malig nant fever, which raged in the garrison with great violence, and is not yet totally subdued. His Ex cellency, Major-Gen. Sir F. Robinson, took every precaution, on its first op' earance, to prevent its spreading. The Legislature having been applied to, also took measures to prevent its introduction in the town and amongst the shipping, both of which are in a healthy state. THE SUN. ZOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDILAT? LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1820. It was confidently rumoured this day at the West End of the Town, and at length was very prevalent in the City also, that the real purport of the unexpected visits of the Prince of SAXE Conouno to THE QUEEN was to offer some new proposition to HEIL MAJESTY that might put a total stop to farther Proceedings in the House of Lords. We, however, plaqe no confidence in this rumour, and hold such an object to be wholly impracticable, consistently with the de mands of Justice, the expectations of the People, bud the honour of the Nation. The Public Press, we are sorry to say, has long been held in disesteem by the People in general, and it is too manifestly in some places open to corruption, and debased by malignity.— Since the unfortunate business of Tne QUEEN commenced, Public Writers have exceeded all bounds of decency, and have boldly preached the doctrines of Sedition. In some of the shame less Journals alluded to, every possible attempt has been made to stifle the truth brought forth by the evidence, and to vindicate THE QUEEN by the most infamous -attacks upon lit.; MAJ Lir Y. What must all other States think of a Govern ment that is unable to suppress such atrocious licentiousness? What they do think is too well known. They consider us as sunk into the lowest depths of immorality, and on the verge of rebellion. How happy will it be for the Country when this most lamentable Trial is at an end! The Law may then be able to resume its authority, the course of Sedition may be check ed, the wicked Libelers upon the Religion, as well as the Government of the Country, be brought to due punishment, and the Constitution, be secured. We have again had no arrival of Paris Papers. Two days' Journals are due. PRANCE LEOTOLD.----The Morning Chronicle of this day attributes the visit of this Prince to HER MAJESTY yesterday to his conviction of her innocence, and says, that " the very serious illness under which HEn. MaaEsry is imw labouring obliged her to receive his Royal Highness in her bed-chamber." She must be seriously ill indeed to submit to such an indelicacy, even with her Son-in-Law. The Times of this day is indignant' at the supposition of the illness, the existence of which it denies, and . pronounces an " infamous attempt to explain away the effect of his High ness's first visit." The Times, indeed, impudently adds, " and a Prelate too—they say, the first of his craft—was sent about to sanction the false hood."—The fact of the Prince's visit is certain, and it remains with himself to explain why, if he feels this conviction of HER MAJESTY'S innocence., he delayed that visit so long, or why, if he does not feel that conviction, he should now think it necessary to go at all ? The Times, a few days ago, charged the whole Scottish Nation with treachery, and, of course, would recommend us to have nothing to do with so . perfidious a People. The Morning Chronicle, this day, advises us to get rid of " that miserable Electorate," Hanover. We may presume that these loyal Papers will next recommend a disso lution of - our connection with Ireland, and after ' wards 'an abandonment of all our Colonial and ' Asiatic Possessions ! If, indeed, the doctrines of those Papers were to be adopted, poor Old Eng- land would soon be reduced to a defenceless Island, and fall an easy prey to the first invader. It was recently reported that His MAJESTY intended to withdraw wholly from Brighton, in consequence of some indecent conduct that oc curred respecting THE QUEEN, but it was found, on inquiry, to result from a few fugitive Dandies, and a _military Dotard, whose ill-behavour, of ' course, ought not to ittlect the general character of the town for loyalty, and its pesuliar respect and gratitude towards his present MAJESTY. THE Kiso arrived at Brighton on Wednesday evening, at half past seven o'clock, from Wind sor.—A large concourse of inhabitants, many of whom had flambeaux, assembled at the north entrance of the town some time before ; and, on the near approach of the royal carriage, greeted the return of our Patron with loud and enthu siastic cheers.--While his Majesty was in the act of alighting in Marlbro'-row, we heard repeated exclamations of " God bless King George the Fourth;" and after his Majesty had entered the I house, hums, three times three, were given in a truly loyal style.—lt was intended to illuminate , the town on the following night, but the order, published to that effect by the High Consla.ble, was, at the instance of the public meeting held the same day at the Gid Ship, to address his Majesty, (to which the King returned a most gracious answer,) countermanded, in order that that testimony of respect might be reserved fur the next visit of the Kiug, which will be at no very distant period ;. and when due time for pre paration will enable it to be at once most bril liant and general.—His Majesty is expected to take his departure this day.--We are happy to learn that he enjoys a good state of health.— (Brighton Herald, Oct.
