occasion during that reign, an unusual number of ittbsidies was dematukd in a message from the Crowe. The House was startled at the novelty; hut a Member reconciled them to the proposal by spewing them bow very small a sum he, who was reputed a very rich man, should mooch. Ham den had an estate of .20001. a year ; the shipy deded from him was only twenty shillings: he resisted it; not on ac count of the amount, but on aceonet of the injustice of the demand. In the time of Charles 1. Members were sent to the House of Commons 'from those Counties, Cities, and Boroughs , whictesend them noie.. Chester and Durham, 1 believe, did nut send Members tilt the reign of Charles 11. The altera time, however, as to the places which have a right to send Members to Parliament, has been very little. But the Mi nister had tint then discovered the means of influencing Elec tines. I have attributed immoderate taxation to the manner in which Members-are returned to the House of Commons. — It is not the Members returucd who sire alone to he corrupt ed,. but every nem who contijhntes to the Election of the Members is to be influenced; and the present system ren ders it necessary that the Crown should have great patron age. Men call for retrenchment in the expenditure ; but if retrenchment were cat ried to a beneficial extent, the CRoW , wvald Lv lift Under the pa?e , r of AN OLIGARCHY, the muse OP , resessive of all Governments. I have thus stated the mischief. What is the remedy? My answer is, a House of Commons interested to lite p down taxer. And to secure that the Howie of Commons shunld be interested to keep down taxes, the Members should not only be men of property themselves, but should he elected by met: who have that degree of property which may make them soli citous to keep taxes modetate. Retrenchment must be pre ceded by Reform. While al embers are returned to Parliament by those Cities and Boroughs which now send them, is it practicable to se cure thest they shall be elected by men of property ? I think -it is. For instance, in the Iturgage-tenement Boreughs ' let every Elector SWEA,R, not only that he is proprietor of the -Burg,tge-tenetnent fur which he claims to vote, and has been so fee a twelvemonth precrdiog /he election, but let him also swear, that he has a landed estate of a moderate value, say eal. a year, m that county in which the Borough is situate; and if the Electors are found to he below a certain number, suppose 100, let a concurrent right of voting be given to every • Freeholder within the County, who is owner of 1001. a-year. Apply the same remedy of a landed qualification to other Cities and Boroughs, vat ying the circumstances according to the different Rights of Electiou. • I think it would he also advisable that the qualifications of Electors for Counties should he raised flout 40 shillings to • 201. a-year. This would preclude the necessity of Electors • being carried to the Poll at the expence of the Candidates. 1 know that the remedy which 1 suggest, is the reverse of what is recommended by the Advocates, for Universal Suffrage ; but the mischief against which 1 wish to protect the people, is immoderate taxation. The Members returned to the Freoth National Assembly are elected by men, each of whom must have property to the value of 18001. Sterling. I think this a good Right of Elec tion; for the Electors have an interest to elect those who will keep taxes moderate. I know it may be said, that there ace other articles which require to be defended as well as the Subject's property; such as kis life and liberty. This is true; but it is the property of the Subject which the Minister wants, and it is, therefore, the property which we ought most solici tously to guard ; and let it be remembered, that the Repre seutative who has au interest to guard toy property, because he is at the same time guarding his own will, fur the saute reasoa, be interested to guard my life and liberty. I have beard it. said, that Reform in the House of Commons would prevent those men who have abilities, but are wit hunt property, front being Members of that house, and that these I met) are very useful. I act of different opinion. I think they are rather mischievous than useful. I wish the House of Com- futons not to continue to exercise that share in the Executive Government which it has lately acquired. The Minister always wishes the House of Commons to vote a previous approbation of that measure which he is about to adopt. By this means, he is protected from subsequent elimination. But the Nation is deprived of one of the most important advantages which it is entitled to expect from a House of Commons; viz. An As sembly watchful over the conduct of Ministers,and punishing them for acts injurious to their Country. I have given my opinion thus fully on the subject of Re forin ; because I am convinced, that either Reform or Revo lution NI UST SOON take place. I wish fur Reform, and depre cate Revolution. I have thus ventured to give my opinion on the probability that a Reform of the House of Commons will take place in Great Britain. I have' expressed my wish that a Reform may take place as being the only means by which Revolution may be aroided. I have also expressed my opinion as to the man ner in which Reform may he effected. Must certainly more regulations than those which I have suggested will be ne- cryoary. 4embrrs of the House of Commons were first summoned to Parliament to protect the King against his great Nobles ; they are now wanted to protect the people against immode rate taxation. To induce them to afford this protection, they must themselves be interested, and to secure that they shall be interested, they must be elected by men who are payers of the taxes. With this view, the right of electing Pelembet s must be taken from many of the small towns and transferred to the inhabitants of large towns. Sonic men have thought that Triennial Parliaments might be of great benefit, and this is the only Reform which the great Wain Families seemed disputed to consent to. I cannot say that I see any great advantage in the adoption of this mea sure. It wonld render the House of Commons less suited to share in the exercise of the Executive Government. And this is theonly benefit which I can see in it. I admit that this would be a benefit; for while the House of Commons conti nue to possess that share in the Executive Government which they have been allowed to usurp, they are disqualified to watch over the conduct of the Executive Government, per haps the most useful ditty which they have to discharge.

Evidence of most, if not of all, theWitnesses3rought'forseard in the Defence of her MailtsTY, proved on cross-examination . ' unfavourable to her cause, declined calling even those they , had announced for examination to refutethe Evidence in sup port of the charges. Notwithstanding all their threats they have not dared to bring forward Madame Oldi, Mademoiselle Mariette, Dumont, Sekinvini, Hieronymus, and many others , they had imported, and, as we may suppose, placed under pro per instruction atßrandenburgh-house. They contented them selves with examining Philip() Pomi, a dependant of Bergami's. who was and is employed by him at the Villa Bergami, and who had received his instructions so late as the beginning of last month, viz. September. His Evidence cannot assist the Queen's cause, unless considered as giving an o pportunity of cavilling respecting some loose conversation with Rastelli, o ho, be said, told him that Dumont had made a good day's ►cork of it, and that if he knew anything against the Princess he might be made a man of. But there is not the slightest proof that this Rastelli could in any degree he consideted as an Agei.t—and there is nothing uncommon in the coming for want of an eager officious person on such occasions without any authority. We confess to have been not .a little diverted at the idea of an under labourer at the Villa Bergami, being called to speak to the moral character of thewife to the Prince Regent of England, and to the society she kept. His account of the genteel company that visited her Royal Highness at the Barona is, as might he expected, somewhat amusing. He de scribes the flower of gentility amongst the visitors of her Majesty to he a fair Cyprian, the Daughter of the Pot-house Keeper. Nor arc his declarations of disinterestedness in com ing forward much less ridiculous. But the main object in calling him seems to have been to quarrel ►with the proceed ings as soon as it was discovered that Rastelli was sent away as a courier, when it was supposed !te would not be wanted again until oecussary to appear before the House of Com mons. The Evidence of Captain Vasst.li and Colonel Olivieri, who had risen from private soldiers in Buontwartes Armies, like other favourites of her Royal Highness, is certainly of little service to her cause, nor is that of Nlaggiore,—but it proves the great deficiency of Witnesses on her part. This uninteresting part of the examination was enlivened by the entertaining account of the institution of the Order of Saint Caroline, and the Diploma appointing Colonel Bergami and his progeny, male and female, to be Grand Masters to all eternity. The Queen's Counsel affect to raise great difficulties, and to declare, that the Defence for the Queen was frustrated, because the Baron D'Ende, Chamberlain to the Grand Duke of Baden, did not attend to prove that her Majesty was re ceived at the Court of Baden, and therefore in good society. This was of course more vehemently urged when it was found that the Baron could not quit his situation to appear at their Lordships' Bar. But admitting that her Majesty was received at the Cour t of Murat, also by the King of Bavaria, Prince Beauharnois, and by the Grand Duke of Baden, her Relations, does that alone prove, that of late years she has generally lived in pro per society, or does it not appear from her own Witnesses that she had scarcely any society, except the son of her Page, and the family of Berzami—his Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, Child, &c.?—Does this peculiar favouritism prove nothing, nor the rapid advance of Bergami, as well as the in troduction of all his family. Is not all tho evidence of respectable persons brought for ward in her defence, merely negative, and confined solely and exclusively to a very short period; indeed, to a few weeks only after the admission of Bergami into the family. But nothing of any kind has been adduced as to later times; and this negative evidence may be illustrated by the Irishman's answer to the Judge, who told him that he was convicted on the oath of two witnesses who had seen him steal, the spade, to which he answered, " if yon will let me go to St. Giles's, I will bring twenty witnesses to swear they did nut see ms steal it." Is there any contradiction to the Princess at Catania having passed from Bergami's room, with the pillow on which she usually slept, under her arm, and in her night dress, through the room of Dumont, who had been detained in her chamber an hour later than usual ? It was declared that Marlette would overset this evidence ; but though now living in the house with the Queen, she has not been produced ; nor is the evidence disproved, that at Scharnitz Bergami, who had been sent to obtain passports, returned in the middle of the night, the waiting maid dismissed, and Bergami passed the remainder of the night with her Royal Highness. Nor has any notice been taken of the interchange of Portraits, the Lady in the appropriate character of Mary Magdalene. Has any thing been brought forward to contradict Captain Briggs's account of her Majesty's Orders, that Bergami should sleep in the adjoining cabin to her own, which had been pre pared for her Majesty's female attendants ? Notwithstanding all the pompous declamation---uotwith standing all the triumphant language of the Counsel for the defence, they have directed all their battery against the moot unimportant points. They have adduced evidence to contra dict the assertions contained in the opening speech of the Counsel for the prosecution; whilst they have left all the material facts proved by the evidence unimpeached, indeed, uncontradicted, by any testimony whatever. They have kept out of view all the most direct charges of criminality that had been substantiated, and have attempted to invalidate only facts of minor, indeed of very immaterial, importance. There has been nothing but general assertion brought for ward against the evidence of Majocci, Dumont, Paturzo, the Mate, and Garguilo, the Captain of the Polacca, Biorollo, Ihe Cook, and Sacchi, who is contradicted only in respect to riding as Courier. The evidence was not single, but as was well expressed, " dovetailed:" each supporting the other so as clearly to prove the case. Nor is there any thing brought orward to discredit the eviience of Barbara Kress, or Krantz nor of Bianchi at Venice, who gave an account of the pretty pla;ful scene of putting the gold chain round the neck of Bergarni, and his restoring it to the neck of her Royal Highness. The evidence of Cuchi, the,. Waiter at Trieste, being con tradicted as to the number of days her Royal Highness was at Trieste, and there being uo opportunity of supporting what he has said, may be put aside. The wheeling amusements men_ tinned by Itaggazoni, at the gardens of the Villa d'Este, have n ot been contradicted, nor the evidence of Nlalocci, who saw tier Royal Highness riding in the garden on the lap of Ber gami in a small carriage ; saw them both eat from the same plate in the kitchen, and also saw theta kiss each other. Nor Oggioni!s esidefisee contradicted, who proved the same fa initiarstyle in the kitchen. Guidini says, that he save Ekr garni's hand on the Princess's thigh, and another time on her breasts; and alto saw him come out of the Princess's room in the morning, with a morning gown, and nothing but hi., drawers on. Finetti saw them on 01;4 occasions kiss and . embrace ach other. Brusa a+suksaw ‘ theiu caressing. Bianchi says, he saw Bergami and the Princess bathing in ie Rivulet Brezzia. Lucini GitW the Princess on Bergatni's lap, and another ,me ha saw her louking vut of the window of Bergerni's room Wit 11 Bergaui i. Itancatti says, he has seen them walking together like man and wife, using endearing terms, Mon Cueur, 3cc. and he saw her in Bergami's Led-room. • -- Cassina says, that he was employed to open a communica tion from Bergami's bed•ruom to the Princess's had-room, and that on the road returning from Farm), to go to Caprile, be saw the hand of her Royal Highness in the small clothes of Mr. Bergami. Galli caw them at dinner. The Baron Bergami took some delicate morsel from his plate and gave it to the Princess, and she did the same toward. hit ; and he saw the Baron give her a kiss after dinner. Dell Ortu says he saw Bergami's arm round her neck and give her a kiss, Bergami putting polenta and sweetmeat halt in the mouth of the Princess, and then the remaining half he pat into his own mouth. Guggiari says he saw them lock themselves in the chamber of the Princess, and has also frequently seen them kiss each other. Some stress has been laid on the circumstance that the Queen was dressed at times when she was seen with Bee garni but it is not explained that it was a perfectly louse dress and in no degree inconvenient. It might have been unnecessary to have stated all these particulars, unless for the purpose of again observing that there has not been the slightest attempt to disprove any one of them. For in truth it is nut requisite to dwell on any part of the evidence except what passed in the polacca. This is go incontestibly proved by the evidence for the prosecution, arid also confirmed by the witnesses adduced in her Majesty's de fence, that nu unprejudiced wind can doubt of her criminal intercourse with her servant. The evidence in defence of the Queen having thus com pletely failed ; as a last resource, it was deemed necessary to set up the charge of a conspiracy on the part of Government and the Milan Commission, and the subornation of perjury, which those who brought the charge no more believed than they do many other of their assertions. If any officious acts of unauthorised persons can be preyed, nts imputation can fall on Government; but the five days declamation of the Quern's three Counsel encourage and promote this charge of conspiracy at the momentwben the deluded multitude are dis posed to believe that the Moon is made of Green Cheese, or any thing In opposition to Established Government, or our envied Institutions in Church arid State.. Her Majesty's Counsel ha►e not refuted any essential part of the mass of evidence in support of the charges, and it is well known that much more alight have been brought forward, if decency had not requited that more than what was necessary should be suppressed. We are not to be surptized at the extravagant statements of these Learned Gentlemen, who disgrace their talents by misrepresentations ; their quibbling expedients and evasions proving their own had opinion of their /Anse. One of them declared, that he deemed it a duty to risk even the overthrow of the State in favour of x Client, and another of them has not less disgusted the respectable part of the community by his Improper and inflammatory declamation, by his unjusti fiable comparison with Nero, and the shameful indecency of his morsel of Greek in such an Assembly, and on such an oc- cation. They complain that others express. their opinion on the evidence—but who provoked it but these Learned Gentlemen, by their indecent and illiberal attacks on those who were brought forward in support of the Bill, and by their success ful and mischievous exertions to mislead this public? They admit that the case of the Bill was complete if the evidence was twain credited, that if the witnesses were to be believed the charges contained in the Preamble were fully proved. The material facts have not been even attempted to be disproved. Her Majesty's Counsel must either charge them selves with a criminal neglect of their Client's interest and their Client's honour, or admit in their own justification the evidence on which those charges are supported, not only to be unimpeacked, but autimpeachable. It is attempted to throw the odium of this disgraceful bu siness on the Government, when it is evident that the Queen forced it on by abruptly coining here, and peremptorily de mending an open Trial, at a time when it does ant appear there was a single individual in the country who did not wish to avert it, except her Majesty, her Advisers, and Abetters. Government, at the same time, chewing the best disposi• tion to males every arrangement and concession most favour able to a residence abroad. The conduct of the wife is attempted to be excused by the treatment of the busbat►d. Can any thing excuse it Without now entering on the grounds of his Majesty's dissatisfaction, was she prevented from living in great splendour at Black heath and elsewhere, and in the hest society, or in such so ciety as was most agreeable to her, and with as ample an in. come as her most zealous friends deemed fully sufficient, until contrary to their opinion strongly urged, or any obvious reason for such a measure, she went abroad, and commenced that career which is no►y the subject of investigation. The dignity of the House of Lords, every rule observed on !Hie occasions, and the Court itself, have been sacrificed to the unprecedented and unreasonable Claims of her Majesty'. Counsel. It has submitted to most insulting dictation and interruptions, and has borne with a conduct, yn the part of her Counsel, that never was before, and never should have been, suffered by the House. But all this would he nothing compared to the disgrace of now shrinking from as impor tant a duty as has occurred in centuries, on notions of expe 41iency, - or unbecoming apprehensions of difficulties, far short however of those which would arise, if judgment should he evaded, and Parliament, at this stage of the business, should not go 'straight forward to decide on a delinquency as clear as the sun at noun-day. As to the expedieacy of the measure, that was decided when the Bill was received, and there is no thing now to decide on hut the evidenee which has been ad duced.—October so, 1820,_ Sir WM. SCOTT is said to be, at present, the richest individual in the kingdom, with the ex ception of Mr. Coutts, the banker, whose pro perty is reported to exceed that of the late Mr. Cavendish, of Clapham Common.
