t .. . st=t, ts -n otignoiant, that if the Qaten; was-gdilty, it - waoan•offetice against the State ,:;.latit the Queen raist have the rights-of every 'martled Woman. — He would gladly have heard from the Noble Earl (Liverpool) or some ether Peer, who were best . informed, how the diffietdties of passing the Bill without the divoisbe Manse were to be got rid of. If it was intended to pass the ditnite ' chose, be would oppose the second reading of "the Bill. • • The Earl of HARR:SW*Ir said, that iiihntigh he was one of etre Veers who 'voted Or this inqteiry,: and had ief course consented to • the Divertbe -claose 'in the Bill, yet, if it came to be a .ques tion in the Committee, he would vote against that , Clause—be would 'vote against that enactment which went to dice her,lVlajetty.. Tin Earl of I*AUDERDALE rose to explain; as aome allusion, Ire conceived, had been made to him, he would observe, that .should the Bill go into a Committee, he Would wish to be heard :against the Divorce clause. !Lord ELLENBOROUGII.—S 4 :My Lorait, been a Member 4 the Secret Committee, I de •cided that an inquiry into the conduct of the Queen was necessary, and that this was the best mode of proceeding. .11aving voted for the first: reading of the Bill, and being new of opinion that it would be highly detrimental and inju rious to the public interest to proceed :farther, I wish to state the reasons for my opinion.— The Noble and Learned Lord on the Wool sack bag said, no one 'can vote for the Bill who is not convinced that the adulterous inter course has been proved; and I will add, that it is it o t necessary to believe Me Queen innocent to justify any Peer in voting against the Bill. The Noble and Learned Lord has. said, Be just and fear not ;' I will add, Be politic ,as well as just!' The setter= inquiry iota the conduct of the Queen has taken place, and we , are now ar rived at that point in which it becomes. our duty to .adopt such measures as, considering the evi dence that has been produced, may be most jest to the parties, and most conducive to public mo— rals and public safety.. When I voted for an in quiry into the conduct of the Queen, I certainly expected that her guilt would have been proved so ' , evident, 'so clear, so incontestible, that it would be impossible not to vote for the Bill. I also thought that public opinion would change, and That the public voice would call upon us to pass this Bill. I cannot declare the Queen inno cent; but I cannot consent to say she is guilty ! Several :allegations -against the Queen have been proved ,whilst several of them have not been proved, and I 'cannot conscientiously give my vote for the, Bill when a great pact of the.evidence has failed. I must also declare thatl fee 4 great unwillingness in pessingany Bill against which thereis in the public raind-a great and almost universal objection. I certain:lTT:egret this feeling in the public mind.. This is -a great question of public morals and of national character, -one that was. calculated to arriirnpres.gion on the public mind, by fixing infamy -on .gtfilt. But, considering the situation in which The Queen otando with the Public, to pass this Bill would be deemed -an act.ef such cioiericuthat it would not produce the necessary effect, hut-a reaction. I vote against the Bill, be eatese I think it would be injurious in its cease iluence; hut I must, at the same time, observe, that we should . not suffer the conduct of her Ma jesty, as :proved 'at your Lordships' Bar, to pass , -without severe censure. A Queen of England is exalted -above all the rest of her sex. We saeither .require= talents tier exertions from her; but the 'is required to be a model of female sir toe '!• But there is no man of any -party, who has heard the evidence, but must , come to this opi nion, that the Queen is one of the last women ~ in the 'country whom a man of honour would wish 'his wife in the least to resemble, or his 'daughters to imitate.—(Hear, hear ! from the Duke of Clarence.)—But although we do not pass -this Bill, another .means of expressing our opinion remains to its. Nothing is more natu- Tal • than to address The Crown against public Functionaries ; and I think an Address, stating fairly your Lordships' reasons for not proceeding in this Bill,from the evidence of the.Q,ueen's wit itesses,and the natural inferences which are to be drawn from the whole case, it appears to me that the-Queen has acted most derog atory to her high station,inconsistent with femal virtue, and that she has excited indelible suspicion upon her bonenr. Were this declaration embodied in an Address of this House to his Majesty, your Lordships would do every thing that is Te aired of you as to public morals or national character. There is also a mode of restrain ing public Functionaries; and., although the Queen might not be degraded from 'her rani, yet her power might be -restrained, by limiting her resources. The intimacy that existed between Ler Royal illighness and Bergami was, indeed, "the roost deserving of the deepest censure. Other - Princesses might have -been attached to a Lancaster, - to a Mortimer, or to an Essex ; but, good - Heavens!, what a difference was there be tween a persou'uf rank and education, and the base wretch :with Whnm 'her Royal Ilighaess had been associated !--(llear, hear 1).. Love, throughceitain strainers well refin'd, 4 ‘ Corrects the sense, and•Charins all womankind But• l3ergami .was the associate, and probably the friend,. of Majocci and other persons who had appeared at that bar ; and of them their Lord-, ships could form no justestimate. The conduct of, the Queen Was, lndoed, such, that the feelings: of the Reuse should be very strongly expressed .upon the subject. Upon the conduct of mis .tresses to their servants depended one of the most powerful -securities of domestic happiness. It tad been said, that it was due to the Queen to prcriounce her Guilty or Not .Guilty, if she were not guilty of acts degrading to the dignity of 'the Throne and her own character, the right was her's to have a verdict of acquittal ; but if, on the contrary, she had committed herself, and there was no question of the truth of the imputa tion, how could it be asserted, that she had a claim to a similar 'verdict in the-present-state of the country, no legislative measure should, in this opinion, be resorted to.—(Bear.)—lt 4fit.Q• nished hltn InUch. to heat that there was an idea of modifying the Bill. What modification could take place ? How toad the qiiestiein of divorce be modified? Theta,, with regard to the - preamble. If their Lordships struck away the charge of degradation, what woad re - - main ? And how could that exist without sistirtg in the measure of divorce ? That measure was decidedly the most inexpedient that could be devised. Their Lordships, he trusted, woad, maintain the character which they now possess , ed, which was such, that no roan en existence could desire to refer "his case to a bay of men better 'qualified, and intending to -give a more impartial decishm. The Public had waited quietly for the investigation:: lie hoP*4 they would not so far ' , Combat with the public feeling as toir&d - that -Bill. Thongs he thought that Parliament should not be upon all occasions swayed by public opinion, Itxt OtrAsainly was of 'opinion that there should exist upottth49ccasion teoittridende of feeling. - --- - (ilear, hear !)--Hoer long was this itiost subject to appear be= fore the Public ? How long were the very worst of isa&sions , to the administered to, and all that was valuable -society to be subjected to danger?—(aear, hear I)—He was willing to-ad mit that Ministers were justified in institutiagthe inquiry. They were justified by the evidence which wa's Srought before . them; but, at the satire time, he Iveuld not have them proceed to any taistbievous way of shewing their justifica tion. Every one , knew that the Bill never could pass into a law. - --(lteary hear .:)—and it .was scarcely proper to read it a second time, for the , purpose 4?-f 'expressitg an epinion which might as effectuality be expressed in another way.. " I give my 'vote , against the second reading -of the Bill," -said Lord Ellenborough, cf but at the same time, must say, that the Howse ought net to separate without expressing a strong o:pinion as to her Majesty's conduct, fouuded upon the untouched Darts of the evidence." • Tire Part ief Asnatnerox thought that, he the evidence what-it might, the House ought not to pass a 13i11-ef Pains and Penalties after- the offer of 50,0001. a year to 'her Majesty to stay abroad. This Bill was evillently nothing more than one to degrade her, because she 'had , exercised her undoubted right of -corning into this country. We lived in very -perilous times, and Bills of Pains and Penalties were too dangerous precedents to follow. If this Rill passed, they would be doing a very great injustice to certain Illustrious Per sonages, who would by that measure be thrown farther back-from the succession. _ _ _ Lord ERMINE and some other Noble Lord =roe at once, and considerable confasion pre- Yai led. Lord DiRNLEY nose to traen, and moved itat Lord Erskine be first heard. The LORD CHANCELLOR said,the House should decide which sh•onld be heard, first ; but he thought the ill health of his Noble and Learned • Friend should 'entitle to the considera tion of the House.--(Hear!) Lord ERSKINE said, that he bad stood the risk yesterday of •increasing his severe indisposition by coining down to the Iteuse to deliver his opi nion, and he just arrived as his Noble Friend (Grey) had commenced his eloquent and power-` fill speech. 'He wished them to look at the evidence as if his Majesty had been entitled to damages in a Court of Law. [Here there was an unusual stir in the House, on the supposition,which proved erroneous,that the Queen was entering the House, on account of the opening of the King's state door at the right of, the Throne.] Lord ERSKINE continued.--The case was to'be,. considered according to the analogies of Courts. of Law. But how different had it really been in this case. Here had been a viejation of all: law ; it was monstrous to say that the same -body, could sit 'as grand and petit jurors, judges, and prosecutors. Bergami was not, as described by the Counsel against -the Queen,a low., contempt- . ible creature ; he had been in the service of a man of rank in the army, by whom he • was re spected, though certainly he was low in rank to the Princess. But <he insisted that she was the victim of• a conspiracy, and that spies had been sent from this country to watch her actions. She also said that 'she had employed Bergami to protect her ; but she had been refused to be al lowed to go into evidence to prose the existence of this •conspiracy . . However, Pomi has proved the existence of a conspiracy against the unfortunate -defendant. He had proved that witnesses had been suborned., or -attempted to be so; by telling them, that if they could say; any thing against her they would be well paid by gentlemen at Milan. They had even' stolen the papers of her -agent. He was surprised to find that Dumont's evidence stood uncontradicted ins this cause, in the opinion of the Noble Earl (Li verpool). She had written a letter to her sister never to depart from the paths of virtue., and that the should continue with the -best woman that, ever existed. She denied, however, that she had -ever spoken in praise of the Queen ; and. then she was confronted with 'Madame who declared she had said, that all that had' been said of the Princess was calumny, and that she was surrounded by spies. Such a witness as this (so contradicted) in a Court of Law, would be no witness at all. His Lordship then proceeded to comment on the testimony of, Dumont as to the transactions which took place' on the evening her Royal Highness went to the opera at Naples, in every part of which she was j contradicted by Sir William Gell, and other wit nesses of unimpeaChable veracity.. With respect to the testimony of Flynn, he contended that the . different accoun t s g i ve n by that witness of a written document not connected with the cause, would not affect his testimony in other respects; and Hownam's testimony remained uniwpeached. In fact, the case before them was by no means made out; a dark cloud of doubt hung over it : and would their Lordships, under such circum stances, pass this Bill ? The first witness who was called was contradicted, and not only con, tradicted, but was proved to have declared the accused too 14 iunocent of the charges which were . . • • • , _ , brought against her; _second witnesS - , Du mont, was abandoned; and Sacchi was giVen up, and his testiinoay as to what passed on the journey to Senegaglia acknowledged to be false. And when Gargiulo and Paturzo were found in such company, could they be taken as Standing clear from all suspicion ? Another extraordinary tiraunstance in this case was that of the .exami nation before the Milan Commission. Mr. Powell, instead - of being examined before the Secret COminittee oughtto have been examined at the Bar, and 'called on to give an account of the manna ieWhich those examinations were taken. Vilmarcati, °telt abo to have been here ; and their Lordships should have had the original de positions before t ' h'em Another. .circumstance had been urged by Coartset against her Ma jesty ; it was said when Captain Pechell refused to sit- at -table with Bergarni why di not her Royal Highness remonstrate with the Go vernment atilome on the conduct of tais Officer What remonstrance could this unhappy, unforttneste, perse cuted, fianished; air (Owned' woman make with the Govern ment iffeffser which she-suffered all these bardships—bardships which watt vtiettbanging over her, 'since, -even here, she coesid snot obtain' thiten'aviinnesses eteeetamery to 'her defence, although 'flick witnesses, as was proved by the conduct of Baton were 'meet anxious tome over on ber behalf ? Tbe Nolle Lord then eicticeeded'to eulogize his Majesty, whose heart, he said, we 'known to - Isiins and who, be was seestivinc ad, would be the last man on earth to countenance injustice or oppression wfiere his jestitenent was allOweel to exercise itself. He would to -any thing sei promote the 4neppiness of that Illustriatte teediesiderel, except to desert his duty. All his prejudices lay annistet side. He had never seen her Majesty but•once, and that was sin atablic ;. yet his conscience, Criss sense of justice, called On him mow ao decide in her favour.— There certainly acre cases affording grounds for presump tion, which, if made out, he could not resist. If it were prov ed that a married woman went to amen's bed room, amid re- mained there for some time: that seas a cast • on whicb to found presumption. If a man was seen going to a married woman's bed-reom, that also would furnish grounds fur pre. ' snroptions but neither of these cases were proved here, or their Loilktrips woutilsoot 'have itound him opposing the Bill. The Noble Lord again adverted so the letters of Dumont, ar i l said no Judge, in a case of adultery, would have received the • evidence of a woman, as to the act of adultery, who •had; at ,period snbsequent to the date of the accusation, given the accused iamb a character, both by written and -verbal delara tion, as Dutzweet bad given to her Royal Highness. He next adverted to the sending away Rastelli, and the reason assigned (or doing so by Mr. Powell in his letter to Col.l3rownosamely, that he might ise•cg use to Col. li. Instead of Rest el li 'Ming sent away, - Colonel Perown eing4st to have begat here to have •ex ;lensed his own cendatt in this transaction. Another cis cumetance of the first, importance 'for their Lordships' consi deration was, what might be 'tile fate ofthis Bill, should it be sent to the Commons, surrounded, as he was certain the House would be, by the people. Their Lordships had no right to pass a Bill against the sense of the people , and tape - ' • cially in this case, in evhich the King head disclaimed -being any party, mad, there ore, their 'Lordships alone could be the prosecutors. in such case I lie .53-ouse of Commons would .be obliged to reject the Bill, as the whole people of England had entered a noti prosequi against it. The Noble Lord then proceeded tO -comment on the evidence relative to the trans adieus on -board The polacre, and contended that, at most, they only afforded gronad for suspicion, but were no proof of guilt. he evidence of Majocci and of Onmomt had already beeo well characterised, and he must any • that, in his opinion s - Gargiulo and taturzo were not to be taken as unsuspected witnesses, when the improbability ot their stories, and the sums they received fur telling those stos, rice, were fairly considered. Out of 16 evert acts, there was only Otte proved, *Veil accos ding to I be,opinion 'of - those who supported the zat, -namely., that laid on board the pulacre; and this, too, in a case stepported by a system of fraud and conspiracy, -of ethic!) no man-could see the 4aeginning, the • middle, or the end. If the eltteen was en adulteress, where was the necessity of false witnesses to ; prove it ? The facts could easily :have been established. He cams down to the 1-louse oppressed by ill Stealth, but be e.ouiti not have :ins charged his conscience if be had not ensue down to say " Not content" to the second reading of the Bill s and to state his reasons for doing so. Lord DE IRINSTANVILLE was anxious to state his sen timents shortly to their 1.-ohlships. Reasons had been urged against their passing this Bill, and one in particular was, the fear, that if they did, the Commons would reject it. Why should they suppose, when the Commons had heard the evi• deuce, as their Lordslsips had done, that they would nut past . the Bill? At present 'neither the House of Commons, nor'the Public, knew mole of the evidence than what appeared in the garbled statements contained its theNewspepers. With 'respect , to the case itself; and the circumstances of suspicion ear rounding it, he would not pass over the rapid advance ment of Bergatui and -his family, who all of them, with the exception of his wife: had twee taken into her Rmal Highness's household. The Noble Lurd theta proceed , ed to comnseut on the evidence of Majooci, Dunioet, and the other witnesses, in support of the Bill, and to ! contrast it - with the evidence on the other side, and con tended, that there was no contradiction to be ((nand to Mejucci's testimony as to material facts. He also took occa sion to advert to 'the speeches-0f Counsel, and censured the comparison which had been drawnsbetween these proceedings and some recorded in time history of ancient Rome, under the Emperor Nero; and concluded by declaring thathe considered the case -made out., and niustconecientiously say Cugtent to the second reading of Etre Bill. • Lord MANNERS, in atone almost wholly inaudible below the bar, proceeded to address their Lordships. After advert ing to the evidence of Mr. Crnvest,frato which it appeared, he said, that even when at Naples her Royal Highness was cautioned to he' guarded in her conduct towards Bergami, observed her Royal Highness neglected that caution, as she did also the advice amid intreisties of Mr. Howuans afterwards. Had suit her Royal Highnesses better judgment been °biome.- ed by en extraordinary attachment to Bergatni, would she thus havecouducted herself ? The Noble Lord then proceeded to comment on the testimony of the several witnesses, and declared that, vonecientiously„ he could entertain no doubt. Hail there been the least rosin fur doubt, • be would not have supported this Bill ; but be declared that in the whole course 'of his experionee he had never beard a case more clearly made out. Time doubtful wittses-oes fur the Bill, even allow ing the fuHeet. _weight tis the 'objections urged against thc-res., had not beenso fully- discredited as. to dispose of - their testi mony altogether.- 'Hwy might have been discredited if they . had riot been, to a certain extent, the witnesses of truth, by calling -the Countess of Sehiavirli, and the other wit-, 'lessee 'named; but he believed these persons knew toe lunch. He was-of opinion, that the Princess of Wales, by her con.: duct, had wholly disqualified herself from sitting on the throne.as Queen of this great country. He was decidedly of opinion that their Lordships had no.conrse lett but to proceed to the second reading. The Duke of NESVI.ASTLE had not been present during the whole of these proceedings, belt had read the evidence with the greatest care, and considered himself as capable of judg ing :es those who had been present.-14e not only considered the charge against her Majesty as suade Omit,"bta hat she had acted so as to degrade Awl disgrace herself.: Re was con- • scientiously prepared to volefor the full penalties of this Bill, including the divorce clause, and considered there should be no rest desire clauses preventing the High 'Parties contracting a new marriage. 'lie Marquess of LANSDOWN was not sorry the _Noble Duke had had precedence of bins. The Noble Diike had ac-, knowledged lie hail end heard the eridencetket bealeclared himself fully prepared conscientiously to vote forthe-Bill and , its full ,penaltices.—(Hear, bear.)-11 this doctrine was to be , allowed, there would be an end ;to all the boasted advan tages of 'Trial by Jury in this eotentry.: The Noble Mar quess then; in strong ianguage, oensured the 'alpinism and doctrine laid down by the Noble Duke, •ottd asked, if such doctriteeVßS to 'be received, what would become of the (Alice . tion of a Noble Lord (De Donstsanville), that the Public could nut judge of the ease, not having beard the 'evidence. Haring made these observations, he should 'anew proceed to continent-on the Bill and the evidence in its-support, and in doing this ha should be :careful to. confine himself not to touch on the topics on which his Noble Friend (Grey )ImA-com mented, lest be should lessen the effect of tire-eloquence of his Noble 'Friend on their Lordships' minds. The Noble Maretsesillsen proceeded 'to comment on the course of :pro ' ceedings which had been adopted against her Majesty, as one attended With-considerable hardships towuds tier. A Noble Lord said'yesterday, that public opinion never acted so pow erfully as when it was-not attended to by time Legislature, and that if theirLordshipssletiredtoinive thoirdecieione respected they must pay eau e -astern ion te t he opiiiion so expressed, and give the Public a satisfactory reason for their decisions. He fully agreed in the opinion so delivered by the Noble Lewd; and with that impression-on his mind, he now looked for a reason ter gassing this Bill which should Fore satisfactory to the • isii i/41 P. The tCuble tord then toot a review 'ettiVe both fur- and against the Bill. He ' particularly V ollo l ic iv. t the transaction sworn to by Dumont, as taking 1 ,„ "ie Catania, viz. of seeing her Royal Highness come frost -0, gatiet reforn With a pillow under her arm. He should f i tainly have been better satisfied if the Countess al , and Brun had been called to contradict this eviiio4l; but. at the sortie time, it should be recollected tb 114 .0 date was affixed to the transaction, and that it oval 11,7 ported only by Dumont's testimony, who contradiote cl S self as to the ditto of the Princess. The case at Obag;l he considered as folly refuted by the evidence of Vassa others. est() the drtss of the Princess, and the -continual ing and repassing of persons to and from bee room. PP iJse 0 as to the scenes on board the lielacca, and at Aues,lll7.7a. say, that to his mind Lieutenant Hownam was the etafiE"4o nen of truth, and their Lordship's woukl recollect his examination in chief by Mr. Tyndall he was asked , to you do not know, who do , yon believe slept antle r A 001 tent ?" He was about to answer, when he was stOOP e. " the geonnd of the irregularity of questioning a otativesi ter examination ios chief as to, bis belief. To hist is , rf tautly appeared that Howitatu was elisions to answer ev 7,l question, and to distinguiSh between actual knowledge $44 belief. Whilst 'he said this, however,- and declared 4 °, . ti fr oat think a proof ot guilt wasauade out, he wished vlt ar ld bt understood as not meaning to say no blame . 31 s , to her Royal Highness for placing herself in such a ii 0 .. lion of doubt and suspense as she .had done, a situati on, becoming her rank and station. But though she ha', l -her conduct afforded room for suspicion and doubt, 4 * . , e ; ‘ , was no actual proof of guilt ; the witnesses against her w` ti ,, all persons taken from amongst her enemies, and their troil taony oughtio ke looked at with the gitat est:caution. to s witnesses who really proved any thittg of a velinioal ea 04 against her Royal Highness, in her connection with Befe n y were Dumont and Majocci. All that they prowed Berme amounted to suspicion. Dumont $ had the care of her f t l o Highness's linen; why had she not been examined as to 4 a state of her body linen, nod any such marks or appeara'''‘,l! upon it as Would have le ft no room fur doubt or utscertaitt;ot It being near half-past four, a Noble Lord, whorls ive•c er /.. not distinguish, interrupttdahe.Nob!e Mai guess for the r pest. of suggesting an adjournment.
