Witness never opened his mouth to any one upon the subject of the Princess of Wales since his de position at Milan. Upon his re-examination, the SOLICITOB,GF... NERAL asked him, pointing to a Gentleman who stood near him, whether he had not been examin ed by that Gentleman Mr. BROUGHAM objected to this question as a leading one. After some conversation amongst their Lord ships, the witness was ordered to withdraw un til the Short-band Writer's notes should be brought back, in order that the former question and answer upon the subject might be read. _ The next witness called was Bartolemo Mayarell. _ _ Examined by Mr. PAR E.--Deposed that he is an Italian ; he is a waiter ; had been in the ser vice of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales.

Where were you all this time ?—I was behind a pilaster : when I saw them coming towards me I re-mounted my scaffold, and went to work again.

Did the witness ever kuow him before :—Yes, at the Villa d'Es(e. Though the concessions made to her MAJES TY'S Counsel are contrary to precedent, yet as truth and justice are the only objects of the Trial, the friends to truth and justice must re joice that all possible latitude is given to her MAJESTY and her Legal Advisers to disprove the evidence against her. The Morning Chro nicle of this day, speaking of the power which has been granted to her M AJESTY'S Advocates of a re-examination of witnesses to the full extent of their requisitions, says, " thus Justice and the powerful eloquence of Messrs. BROUGHAM and DENmAN have triumphed over the Law of the ' Loan CHANCELLOR." This invidious and insi dious manner of stating the matter is exactly in ' character with that engine of Party.--It is not merely " the Law of the Logo CnAsceLton" that has thus been Set aside, but the Law of ,the Land, as admittsel ttWd supported byiht Judges. If " Carl:kris of kavvfeoottrlid' look one side, and the LORD CHANCELLOR an other," as. The Cgronick also says, it was not because the tWo Noble Lora doubted the in terpretation of the Law, as given by the Loan CHANCELLOR, bnt because they thoaght that in a case of such importance it might be pro per, in order to obviate all complaints of a want of due indulgence to Tau Quint's Counsel in any .matter that might be conducive to her vindica tion. It was surely proper In the LORD CHAN CELLOR, being at the head of the Law, to sup port the Law to the utmost of his poWer, but the other Noble Lords might deem it necessary to act upon principles of general . policy In a case of so peculiar and unprecedented a nature, and which is never likely to happen again, as due care will, no doubt, be taken, on the final termi nation of this disastrous business, to pass such a Law as will fully meet such a case if it should in deed occur. We still look for some Master mind to act with vigour, and endeavour to put an end to proceedings which are pregnant with mischief, Moral and Political. If, as we have before said, the evidence can be disproved, let the QUEEN'S Counsel bring forward proofs against the characters of the Witnesses, but not waste the time of the Legislature, and obstruct the busi ness of the Nation, by questions, that it is not possible to render subservient to the ends of truth and justice. We yesterday observed that Mr. BROUGHAM'S Inquiry of BARBARA, CrtAxTz, where she now lives, could not tend to any good purpose, but was rather calcu lated to have a different effect. The Learned Counsel must have known where she resided, and if he did not, the information was not necessary to the Illustration of any point of substantial jus tice. We appeal to the common sense of man kind, whether such questions as the following, addressed by Mr. BROUGHAM to this female wit ness, can forward any useful purpose, and are not absolutely wasting time. 4.

SOLRM OUIS DICERLI FALSUM AUDEAT? LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1820. " On which side of the River is the house ? 14 Have you a father-in-law? 11 What part of the (louse did the Baron (GRIMM) live iu ? " Did not the Grand Duke come to your Inn to wait upon 'he Princess ?, 44 Did you see the Grand Duke come. down stairs? 4, Where did the Princess receive the Duke ?" —As it is impossible to suppose that these ques tions can have any natural bearing upon the guilt or innocence of THE QUEEN, it is to be lamented that the Government of a great Nation, and all its operations, should be suspended, in order to give scope for inquiries that no subtlety or in genuity can make essentially applicable to the case. However, as we find that parties are so much divided, and so vehemently agitated on this important subject, we shall, after this day, con tent ourselves with giving copious Reports of the Parliamentary Proceedings, and submit to our Readers the comments of our Competitors among our Daily Extracts from the London Journals. We received last night the Paris Papers of Saturday last, from which we give a. few articles in another Column. The Journal de Paris of Sunday arrived this morning, but no other Papers• The following are extracts from the last men tioned Journal :--. CHAMERE DU ROI.—(PARIS, Atra. iv.)

" We are quietly choosing our Represent" tives here, and the Citizens are now all armed and pretty well trained ; Patrole duty is perforzilad by them every night. Although we have 6 00° troops here of the Army, part of whom I 10 511 away, the people are yet children in politit Should the Government change in Spain, tl as Island will maintain her independence." THE THEATRE.--A mong the productions I f the late Mr. COLMAN, the comedy of The Saint was one of the most popular in its day. "- late Mr. Jolim PALMER was the hero of the pi 6 n e l and his performance of Tobine was so exzel' te- d drat the play has not been revived for ali o twenty years till last night. Mr. C. li-Es °l ;b on this occasion assumed the part, and Ivi. a full recollection of the merit -of the 01 1 1 ; ginal, we deem it but justice to say th ` his performance was admirable. The W e scene was really affecting, and excited str on g sympathy as well as applause. Mrs. MARD I. _ was sprightly in her male attire, and yeti inter esting when she appeared in her proper chase „,13e as Nancy, the object of Tobine's attachment- l ed rest of the characters were very well suPPliltir by TERRY, YOUNGER, WILLIAMS, and J• SELL. We can hardly style this play a Cotn e , h ,.. as it is a mixture of broad farce with the pa , 04 tic. We remember the present Countess of pli, l t er in the part of Nancy, to which, as to all °l ow characters, she imparted easy sprightline s6 r fe o gance and pathos. The play, with a verl i a e o. dissenting voices, which implied perhaps ati 00,- that the chief incid en t w as o f too terrific a , 1 , ture, was received with great applause by 8 merous audience. pr e id s der, Mg taij t 1 ltaa wr tt set.,
