' They had been told that they stood ea: ln sPri re , that if they now pronounced judgment „ i° Queen, it would be the last judgment they would Is . r ,; tit " ,. once. They bad been admonished, that as the b nom, i s of saving the Crown and the Altar, that, guilty "" 41 - " t th • • • a 411 ,, • .es %%rte . called on . for an acquittal. He Conjure them •Lordships to pause before they i ,,_,Therr verdict; and then to follow that course ops,,i v la" , estys ro*iitained forthein so high and hononrable Wath the world, lie would call on them, as the best means of protecting the Altar and saving the Crown, to pronounce a judgm.tnt only on the evidence as it,stood before them; and if that evidence should. and in his opinion it did, call for a verdict of guilty, he was convinced they would pronounce that verdict with firmness. Whether guilty or innocent, they would pronounce it in a manner satisfactory to their Own con sciences ; and following the dictates of that monitor, be that verdict what it might, sooner or later, it would prove satis factory to the country, to the world, and to posterity. A pause of a few minutes followed ; after which . - • The SOI.ICITOR - GENERAL addressed their Lordships, and • proceeded, at Considerable length, to comment on the evidence for and against the Bill. The elevation of Bergami in a few months from the rank and station of a me nial 'servant to that of a Baron, a Knight of Malta, a Sicilian Nobleman, and Chamberlain to her Royal Highness, was in itself unexplained, and it remained a proof of extraordinary attach ment on the part of her Royal Highness. He contended, that the evidence of Sir W. Gell, Mr. Craven, Sicard, and others, went to' prove that his manners never were those befitting a rank or station superior to that of a menial. The introdlction of all 13ergami's relations, except his wife, into the family, was also; he said, strong evidence against her Royal Highness. He would ask, what pretensions had the Countess of Oldi to the situation of Lady of Honour ? It ap peared from the evidence of Sir - William Gell, that at the time she was introduced to her Royal Highness she did not speak Italian, and. the Countess could not speak. French or Eng lish. As to her manners, Lord Guildford, when speaking of them, described her as not particu larly' vulgar ; but his Lordship declared himself in capable of describing the exact shades of vulgarity. The constant arrangement of the beds; so that Bergami was near her Royal Highness, was also t i, a most remarkable and strong fact. 1 was said this was done to protect her Royal. h i ghness from danger, but no danger was shown to exist. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to com ment on the various contradictions to be found in Flynn's evidence, and asked how were these glaring contradictions to be reconciled ?—" Oh!" said his Learned Friends, " he was confused by a long torturing cross-examination, and overcome by the intense heat of the Court." Why, the cross-examination had existed only a quarter of an hour, and the intense heat. of the Court was borne without 'inconvenience by their Lordships. .He could explain circumstances in a much more natural way ; the witness had ,much confused himseff in a string of falsehoods, from which he could not recover. His friends had described ' Mr. Flynn as a man of honour and courage ; he • might be so ; out of this cause he knew nothing of him, but in it he would say he had suffered him self to be warped by the factious spirit which was abroad. Next came Mr. Hownam, who having at length acknowledged his belief that Berganni slept under the tent, his Learned Friends exclaimed, " Oh ! this is part of our case ; we opened it so ; it is our evidence." This was a most extraordinary asSertion, for, in his opening, his Learned Friend did not -even mention it. Oh ! but said his Learned Friend, that was an accidental omis sion. Yet, though the sleeping under the tent was a part of the case of his Learned Friends, Mr. Denman and Dr. Lushington had 'laboured hard to contradict it. They both contended that thete was no positive evidence to this fact.— True ; but they had the evidence of the Countess of Oldi—why was not the Countess called ? Was that also an accidental omission ? He supposed it was, that the Countess had said, "I will serve you as far as I can, but I cannot swear to a falsehood." Next, as to the tent being closed or open, the hatchways down or up. The preponderance of the evidence was that they were shut. Schia. vini was the person who ordered the tent to be closed. Why was not Schiavini.called to contradict that fact ? His not being called was confirmatoryef the fact. There was uncontradic tory evidence Of an extraordinary occasion sought for an adulterous intercourse in the sleeping to gether under the tent for near six weeks. But, said his Learned Friends, they were never un dressed. True : the evidence of the Captain and Mate was, that they Sometimes saw her Royal Highness looking out in the morning in a kind of morning-gown, and Bergami in a loose Grecian robe. " Oh!" said his Learned Friend, Mr. Brougham, " what would become of the popula tion of Greece, if its inhabitants were thus to at tire themselves for the purpose of enjoying sexual intercourse." Why, did his Learned Friend mean to say, that to such a man as Bergami was described to be, these habiliments would' prove impenetrable barriers to his approaches? A poet of our own country, alluding to apparel much more cumbrous, hooped petticoats, said= " Ott have we known these seven-fold shields to fail, Thn ;. ;;;;:l with thickest silks and hones of whale." He denied that any person could look at these facts, and doubt the adulterous intercourse. But there was a witness who could have contradicted all these charges if they were false. That in dividual, the faithful servant of her Royal High ness, accompanied her as far as the shores of France, but there his courage failed him ; he there quitted his Royal. Mistress, immed.iately return ing in the carriage she had previously travelled in. Now as to the visit to the Theatre San Car los, it was proved, and not contradicted, that her Royal Highness went to the masquerade at the Theatre, accompanied only by Bergami, her courier, and Dumont, her chambermaid. Her Royal Highness knew she went, and knew who accompanied her, and if any other persons were with her, she might have called them to contra dict Dumont. As she had not, it was proved they could not be contradicted ; so as to the breakfasts at Genoa. Louis Bergami and Ca mara were stated to have waited at breakfast ; then they might have been called on to contradict Dumont and Majocei ; so, at Venice, respecting the gold chain. If Majocci could have•been con tradicted, some of the company present might have been called to contradict him. At that time Bergami was a courier, waiting behind her chair. She puts a chain round, his' neck, he returns it. She withdraws to another room, and they part with a squeeze of the hand. At Belenzona, and the Devil's Bridge, and other places, Bergami, in his courier's dress, dines at her Royal High ness's table. Was Hieronymus or any other of her servants admitted to this' honour? Not one, Hownam was questioned as to this and other circumstances, and did not deny their existence, yet he said he never saw any thing in her Royal Highness's conduct derogatory to her. He was asked, had he never said the contrary to any one ? No; never, said he with confidence. But when Capt. Briggs was mentioned, then he began to waver, and could not recollect. What credit could, after this, be given to Mr. Hownain's neral testimony ? He regretted much that in the discharge of the important duty she had to per form he was under the necessity of consuming so much of their Lordships' time, but he feared the observations it would still be his duty to make would detain their Lordships beyond the period of their sitting this evening. Lord LIVERPOOL 'then proposed, that as the lion of adjournment had arrived, and it must have been apparent to their Lordships that the Solicitor-General was labouring under severe indisposition, he should now propose an adjourn ment till Monday, when the Solicitor-General might finish his ,address, and a day be fixed for the second reading of the Bill. Lord GREY said no one could oppose the pro position of the Noble Lord. He hoped, how ever, the postponement in hearing the conclusion of the Solicitor-General's address would not de lay the second reading of the Bill beyond Thurs day. The S OLICITOR-GENERAL said, he would not occupy their Lordships more than two hours on Monday. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the second reading of the Bill might be fixed for Thursday. He, from personal motives, arising out of the-im portant duties he had to attend to in another place, in the early part of next week, should have requested a delay till that time, but he did not imagine any postponement beyond that day would be necessary. • _ __ . Mr. Bno - vaitAm said, he was convinced his Learned Friends had not intended to make any observations in the course of their addresses to their Lordships of anature personally offensive to him; but that they were instructed to_state what they had done of their doubts of his receiving Baron Ompteda's letters only yesterday. Ile was well persuaded, indeed he knew that it had been industriously circulated abroad, that [hey had been in his possession previous to that time. lie felt it his duty to himself to contradict an asser tion, that he could for a moment, so far have forgot ten his duty to their Lordships, as a professional man, as to have been guilty of such an artifice.— lie did not receive those letters until half past eleven o'clock yeSterday morning, and, he believ r ed they did not arrive in England before eleven o'clock on Thursday night, This fact might be proved by a reference to the. Alien Office, where the hour of .the messenger's arrival at Dover might be ascertained. lie hope& this explanation would be taken as a true statement of facts, and that those who had dared to circulate a contrary one would circulate it no farther. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL assured his Learned Friend be meant nothing personal to him, -and that he gave him full credit for the statement he had just made. Mr. Bnotiounm was satisfied with his Learned Friend's assura►►ce ; indeed he did not mean to impute to those who had instructed his Learned Friend any motives of personal hostility towards him.—A djourned till Moin PROCEEDINGS OF THIS DAY. The usual forms were this morning gone through, after which apologies were made for the non-attendance of Lord HAWSE, Viscount SYDNEY, and the Marquess of BUCHINOHAM. Earl GREY then moved that some Noble Lord, whose name we could not hear, from the noise in the House, should be excused for non-attendance. The Earl of BALCARRAS (who spoke so in distinctly as not to be heard) complained of a . Breach of Privilege on the part, of The Times newspaper of Friday last. lie held the paper in his hand, and commented for some time on the leading 'article. Ile regretted having been obliged to complain of that paper, but it threw out injurious and unfounded aspersions on the character of Colonel and Lady Charlotte Lind say, while remarking on Dr. Lushington's obser vations at the Bar. In that article an allusion was made to the letters which , her Ladyship had written to her husband, in which it was stated, that she gave a very different opinion, relative to the. Queen, from what she did at the Bar. His Lordship declared he had seen that correspon dence, and he•could assure their Lordships, that it did not,contain one wot d, directly or indi rectly, at all bearing on the case. Ile had also to vindicate the character of Colonel Lindsay from the charges against him ; for he had gone to India in early life,where he had fought bravely, and he had also fought under the Duke of Wel lington in the Peninsular war, to whon, he could appeal as to Colonel Lindsay's bravery. In allusion to what had passed respecting the Colonel and his Lady, he thought the Learned Gentlemen had better be contented with the goodness of tileir cause, than attempt,to wound the character of individuals. He could assure their Lordships that Col. Lindsay's life had been Marked by dignity and honour throughout. The Earl of LAUDERDALE had no wish to pro long this discussion in any way, b u t h e con ceived it his duty to state that he had attend ed most seriously to the Learned Counsel (Doctor Lushington), and he was pretty cer tain that his speech did not contain one sen tence that could be construed to reflect on the characters of Colonel or Lady Charlotte Lindsay. Nothing, he was \ convinced, was more remote from the intention of the Learned Counsel than to r <lint on either of them. Dr. LUSIIINGTON could assure the Noble Earl who made this complaint of the report in that Paper, and also those Noble Lords who heard him, that if any thing had fallen from him which was prejudicial to her Ladyship's character, he would most willingly be the first to retract it— The statement was founded on misapprehension of what he said, and the moment he was informed of it, he applied to Lady Charlotte, with an explanation. He was happy to state that he had received a letter from Lady C. Lindsay, which declared that she was satisfied with the explanation he felt it his duty to give. The LORD CIIA?.{CELLOa here observed, that it did not appear to him at the time that any one question was put to the witness at the Bar by the Attorney-General, or that one remark had been made which ought not to have been made. The Earl of BALCARRAS declared himself sa isfied with what had passed on the subject in the louse ; and here the matter ended, The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that what had just passed would serve as a caution to persons out of doors not to be so ready to believe those representations which were given of the proceed. ings of the House. THE QUEEN. Counsel having been then called in, the Som-- CITOR-GENERAL resumed his Reply. He ob served,-that in pursuing the course he had taken on Saturday, he did not intend to enter at large, or at any length, into what took place at Naples, yet there were some circumstances so very striking, so' necessary to be touched, and so important to the result of the case, that he must entreat their Lordships' attention while he proceeded to comment on them. The first of these, then, was the singular walk taken by her Royal Highness and Bergami on the terrace and the conduct of Mr. Craven. That Gentle man, when asked respecting the walk, said he did not observe them 'touch each other. 'This ,evidence was meant to induce their Lordships to suppose that there was nothing remarkable in the circumstance ; but if so, and if this ' were merely the attendance of a servant on his Mistress, would Mr. Craven have thought it ne cessary to make the representation he did 'to her Royal Highness on tho subject she had; in stead of 13ergand, been 'so attended in her walks either by Sicard or. Hieronymus, could their Lordships believe that Mr. Craven would have ever felt it necessary to make any kind of remon strance to her ? Was it not something he had either heard or seen, or else suspected, which induced him to make that remonstrance ? It was alleged, to be sure, that the terrace was overlooked by the houses adjacent, and so it might be, though nobody was looking from them. Here, therefore, their Lordships would observe that extraordinary mixture of caution and impru dence, of reserve and openness, which had often been found the undeviating characteristics of cases of this kind. Either it was what Mr. Craven had seen or heard, or some impression which he feared would be injurious to the charac ter of her Royal Highness, that induced him to give her so friendly, but unavailing a caution. In addition to Mr. C.s evidence her Majesty's Counsel had called the Earl of Llandaff, who stated that he recollected Berg ami fiorn his fi gure, which was rather large, and also tall; his Lordship also said that Bergami had been pointed out to him. And why, he would ask, should Bergami, of all others in her Royal , Highness's suite, be pointed out to his Lordship, if that menial .had riot in reality been the object he was, namely, the subject of curiosity, inquiry, and rumours ? Did not this speak for itself .? Was any other servant in her Royal Highness's, train so pointed out ? From what circumstance was it? Why, unquestionably, from? the reports which were circulated with respect to him, from his walks on the teriace: It was from minute circumstances like these, unimportant as they were in themselves, that with a know ledge of the human mind, must be deduced those circumstances which ,were more broad and striking• lie would now advert to the testimony of Lady C. Lindsay, for it was extraordinary that the other side should have summoned this Lady to the Bar, if they bad not supposed her evidence would be beneficial to their case.. Now, it appeared, that she had entered her R. H.'s ser vice only 12 days before she left Naples,and yet many things of an extraordinary kind took place
