1. Intend: that the charge of Conspiracy should have formed. an introduction to the Defence; for the very . grounds- of ,that charge might after wards.- have come ;to .the knowledge the Queen's Counsel, who were bound to avail-them selves of it. He would therefore make.anothor appeal. •to - the candour and - honour of the Attorney-General. If it was - meant to call Tanga -to their Lordships' Bar, in the capa city of a conspirator against the Queen, or as one of them who • conspired against her in any lvay, he certainly could not be so called ; but !let might be. .called to testify to the acts of Colonel arown; by n hich means others might be brought .up to depose to important facts. Respecting' the opinion of the Learned Judges, as dlslivered to the House, he could only say, and e intended not the slightest disrespect to them, that even on a Common Turnpike Bill he would not be bound against his opinion by the counsel of the : Judges. 'He wished their Lordships. to re-consider- the first question, as the Learned Coansel:must of teceSsity be conversant with the • :tines. of Law. , t. he . Earl of LAIMERDILE thought it was corn. peter t for the Learned Counsel at the Bar to. pnt the question as to a conspiracy ; but, supposing it competent for them to put that question, they were not at liberty to adduce to their Lordships a wrong argument irt.order to show why the question should be put. if such arguments were to be. indulged in, and the Attorney and Solicitor-General were after wards to reply to them, he could only say, that theit Lordships had no prospect of coming to an end. Nothing, to the best of his recollection, had passed as between their Lordships, to pre he putting the question by the Queen's Counsel. But it was inverting the order of thing,s for their Lordships -to listen to an argu 4vent first,' and afterwards to admit the question built upon it. .The .Martraess of IA ANSDOWN here desired that the third question put yesterday to the Learned -Judges, and the'answer to it, might be forthwith read ; and they were accordingly read by the Se;.ior• Clerk of the House. The Earl of DAITNLEY then rose, and declared. that he would not be doing his duty in that place, if he did not embrace - the earliest oppor tunity of objecting to the doctrine laid down by the Noble Earl opposite. That Noble Earl (Li verpool),•if he understood him, had laid it down that their Lordships were not at liberty, in this long and painful inquiry, which he trusted was drawing to a close, to enter into any points, not openedat first by the Counsel at the Bar. If this doctrine were adhered to, in this .extraordinary and most unprecedented case, he couteived it impossible for their Lordships to go on with any hope of - jpstice at last ; and if reference were not made to • such evidence, not opened in the Defence, as was material. to prove - a Conspiracy against the Queen ; but it was utterly impossible that such a doctrine could be adopted by their Lordships. Seeing the in sufficiency of the-evidence as against the Queen, seeing how it was broken and disjointed on the part of the prosecution, and the suspicions which were entertained of it, day after day, he had hoped that their Lordships. would have been rescued, ..by the firmness of the Noble Earl opposite, from the disgraceful situation in which they were placed, trusted that, even now, the day .was not very far distant when, if the Counsel for the Defence were not permitte.d.to produce what they deem ed~ to be necessary to the justification .of •the Queen., the proceedings would not . be suffered to go on. - .The Loan CIiaNCLLLOR here remarked, that nothing - was more necessary in this proceeding than that their Lordships should preserve all due respect for those Learned Judges, whose advice they availed themselves of ; but , there was nothing more desirable, at the same time, than that he who wished respect from others should also be entitled to it. He there pre had now to regret his having misunderstood Mr.. Williams, one of the Learned Counsel at the Bar, as to the question he had intended to put. As their Lordships had determined .they Would n9t go into the matter, he was formerly of, opinion that no question ought to be put to Zanga, as one of the Conspi rators ; but : the matter -had since -been dis cassed at their Lordships' Bar, and• the result :was, they had determined that the question was proper to be put. At the same time, however, their Lordships would not allow of any kind of o'entral open:ti, on. the part of the Learned Counsel for the Queen, about the Conspiracy Which they , alleged to have been formed against her. The Noble and Learned Lord, we have since heard, was of opinion, that the question might be put, on an understanding that the Learned Counsel for her Majesty would not trespass by their observations on the time of the House. It was stated at the last. ConferenCe. of the Methodists, that there was a falling off in 'their flock,- during the proceeding year of nearly 6,000; which they, in a great measure attributed to the late numerous blasphemous publications. •It is remarkable, that previous to last year, they had been annually on the increase since the days of WESLEY.---.(Chester Chronicle.) The Magistrates of Glasgow have, presented an Address to.his MAJESTY, requesting that he would graciously, he pleased to sit for his Por trait, to be place:* in the Town Hall of that Cityi along with the Portraits of his Royal Prede cessors. 111ELANcifor.y Scicint.—Yesterday morning a most shocking•.event took place in Sloane-street, Chelsea. Major SE - Ymoua, a fine young man, about twenty-five years of age, •who lived there for some time past, had been lately seriously indisposed, 'which brought on a delirium.

Sin,—lf I were at this moment in fullness of health, a correction of the monstrous misrepre sentations regarding me which took place last night, in more than one quarter, would be no slight call upon my exertions. How much more serious is My task in my present circumstances ! Whether a more cruel hardship can be inflicted, than to make one man answerable for another's acts, to which he has been no party, is a point which may be safely submitted to just minds. In my present state, however,- I shall confine myself, at this moment, to a single sample of this dreadful wroirg. 1 have been charged as the author of certain Letters to, and against, Lord FITZ WILLIAM. Of the letters alluded to (those, I presume, of 11AstaDEN and .A.ntsynaEs, iu the Morning Post,) I really know no more than does my assailant, or the man who has been italic .geav e thousands of years before my assailant was born. What I have written respecting Lord FITZ WIL LIAM IS, verbatim, what is at the bottom of this letter—a printed slip,of the original Essay (dated and published on the27th day of last October,in the Morning Post,) serving for the compositor's copy in this reprint of the article. lam aware of • th e present pressure upon newspapers ; but still, I supplicate its insertion from every Editor in whose breast the principles of fairness. are not extinct—keeping in mind Mr. BENNET'S attack upon me, relatively to Lord FITZWILLIAM. Such, and only such, is the style in which I have ever Mentioned and shall ever mention the name of Lord FITZ WILLI AM-the.dimidium anima , of CHARLES Fox. So few, alas, of Mr. Fox's real friends (usually engaging in'llouse of Commons debates) are spared by the devourer Death, that my wonder is the less at seeing myself,.his nearly thirty vears bosom adherent (not the least faith ful nor the most interested—tried by all the tests which can put sincerity to proof) abandoned, in my utmost need,' to the animadversions of Mr. HUME, and Mr. BENNETT—without a tittle of evidence against me. If I live, I shall re-publish every article that I - have written since - the death of Mr. Fox, with my name in the title page, and defy any candid critic to find in any one of them either lie or libel—dereliction of principle or oblivion of friendship. Such will be my' answer to Mr. BENNETT'S charge of apostacy. What further course I may pursue towards redress for this out rage will depend upon the hereafter. Exhausted as am, there is another point on which I must say a word. Mr. BENNETT is de scribed as having, by implication, intimated that I had called the Qv EEN a hag ! I never so called her 'NIA.; EST Y, nor any woman, since I was born. In the Essay to which allusion is made, the word • hag is indeed introduced, but introduced quite ironically—with a meaning the exact reverse of what is imputed to it by Mr. BENNETT—and in tended only to scout the . philosophy which con templated 52 as an age past female frailty. Almost all that has appeared respecting a Bow street warrant, &c. is erroneous. - Until the re covery of my health shall enable me to shape my course, i beg a suspension of judgment, and a distrust of all reports regarding me. I am; Sir, &c. DENIS O'BRYEN. " DIWISSAL OF LORD FITZWILLLAM. "The cart Mhat bears him bears not a nobler Gentleman thairt he Earl of FITZWILLIANI.

Though we did not presume to offer any opi nion of our own as to the propriety of giving the utmost latitude to the Examination of Witnesses on both sides, relying on the wisdom and recti tude of the august Court that sits on the Trial of the QUEEN, yet it has been our anxious wish that no technical restrictions should be opposed on 'either part to the fullest possible discovery of the truth. We therefore rejoice that the ATTORNEY ,GENERAL has given up his objections on the point submitted to the Judges, and we earnestly hope that nothing will hereafter impede the course of Inquiry, and ultimately the solemn decision of Justice. We received this morning three days Paris Papers to Monday last inclusive. The Moniteur of Sunday contains a Royal Ordonnance, grant ing (in commemoration of the birth of the Duke of BOURDEAtIX), an amnesty to all military de serters.--The following are extracts PAnis, OCT. 16.—Yesterday the King received the Princes and Princesses of the Royal Fathily, the Ministers, &c. &c.— His Majesty, on Saturday, gave a private audience to the Count Ferrand.
