(~ 110 USE OF LORDS-THIS DAY. THE QUEEN. Letters were received ffom Lord Howard of Effingham, Lord Digby, and Lord Harrington, excusing their absktce this morning. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock the Coun sel were called in ; and (after some remarks from the Earl of Lauderdale, Earl Grey, and Lord Erskine), Mr. Gurney was directed, by the Lord High Chancellor, in reading from his Short-hand Notes, to read the Questions first, and after►tiards the Answers to them, in order to prevent all confusion in the apprehension of Noble Lords. WITNESSES FOR THE QUEEN Lieutenant IlowNiM's cross-examination was resumed by their Lordships. By the PEERS.—Q. Does Lieut. flimflam know when the Frincess took the bath on hoard the .1 never saw her take the bath on board the polacca ; and, consequently, I cannot YOu have stated that you was with her Roya Higthess at Trieste, was you ever there excep that- trace ?—Never. Was you iu the-Princess's service before Ben gami was?—No. Lto you rkdow the reason of Bprganii's being lclected to be in her Royal Highness's tent, in ureference to yourself or' Lieutenant Flynn do not. Is it customary" for a sentinel to sleep on his witch?-1t certain! v is not. You stated that jou had been in his Majesty's service; on board shat ships have you served ? rylr.ny ships. ee so good as to name them and the Captains (Here the witness, as we understood him, men tioned the Africane, the Lively, the Centaur, the Baltleur, the Lorraine, the Resistance, the Un daunted, and also the names of the Captains he had served with.) How many years were you in the' service ? Since the early part of 1803. You were understood to have said, that while the .Princess was on board the polacca, you knew of no mystery or concealment on her part. It is now wished to know whether, during any of your journies with her, .you observed any - mystery or conc.ealmetit in her Royal Highness with -re spect to Bergami ?—None whatever. - s What :is your opinion of Bergami as a servant of her Royal Highness confess that he was excessively attentive to her, and most ready in his duty. Ile was therefore more likely to he selected, on account of his fidelity and attachment to her Royal Highness, to attend her than any other servant should think, from every thing I observed in his conduct, that it was likely. No suspicion then once entered your Mind in consequence of his being? selected to attend ? Nw.3e. Are you well acquainted with Lieut. Flynn ? I aui. Do you believe him to be a man of honour and veracity ? The LORD CHANCELLOR here observed, that the only way in which that question could be put,, was, whether the witness thought that Lieut. Flynn was a man to be believed on his oath ? (The last question being accordingly put, the witness said, that he believed Lieut. Flynn to be a p'erfect man of honour.) .Whether, from your knoWledge of Lieutenant Flynn, do you believe his understanding and re collection to be perfectly accurate and clear ? I confess I,am not vain enough to pass an opinion on a gentleman of his age. • What, on board the polacca, was the distance from the steerage to the tent ?-,—.1 think about five or six feet, that is, from the helm. You have stated that, during your voyage from Jaffa to Smyrna, Lieutenant Flynn some times slept on the deck ; would not her Royal Highness, in your opinion, have been sufficiently - protected in her tent, if that officer had always slept there ?—He did not always .sleep on deck, lint doubtless her Royal Highness might hare been protected when he did. Then if Lieutenant Flynu had slept during the whole voyage on deck, it would have been un necessary fur any one to sleep in the tent, in or der to protect her Royal Highness l—There were many reasons why somebody should pro.. tea her; as the ship might have rolled, and an accident happen to the tent. The. LORD CHANCELLOR desired the witness to keep up his voice through the whole of his an swers. He 'might indeed be heard by the Coun sel on both sides, by the Short-hand Writer at the bar, and by Noble Lords near it, but it was impossible for those of their Lordships who sat around and behind him, to hear correctly what be said. Am I to understand that the answer you last gave is the answer to my question I—Yes. Witness has stated that he went up the ladder from the dining room to the deck, and finding Out the Princess had retired to rest, lie with-. drew. How is this to be reconciled with your • opinion that there was nothing at all indecent in .13ergami's passing the remainder of tke night 'in her Royal Highness's tent ?—I withdrew . from • the impossibility of getting on_deck. You stated that there was no. light in the din ing-room • in-room ?—I did. ° What occasion • was there then for your going into the dining-room to the tent ?—From the ha.. bit of going up all day ; it was not then night but about ten o'clock in the evening. What time of the year was this ?—We left Jaffa on the Wth. of July, and arrived at Syra cuse in the middle of August. Do you mean to say that at that period of the year . it was not dark there at ten o'clock in the evening.?—lt was darkish or night time ; it was as dark as it could possibly be in such a clitnate. • Did you not know, when you went up at ten o'clock in the evening, that her Royal Highness's tent was closed ?—Vdid not. • ! Li Wad you reaso n to believe that, after the ' v i o l ent , -•• - '•-.- ' at tick on her Royal Highness's house at Genoa ; ) ~' ', , •,'' I 't - - 6 . P ' ' dr ~ ' • '. ; - 4 . % , _ V , A - • - •%.Z .- ~ :;:",:,- , 7 -; ' . ..i ' Y , • -,.... •.'' 71 :"-.,.. or from any other circumstances which occurred at the , time, she entertained any- apprehen sion for her personal safety'—Her Royal High ness did entertain such an apprehension, for she mentioned it to me. Did she in consequence of her apprehensions wish to be more closely protected and attended by the male part of her establishment, or express her wishes to that effect to you ?—l'heard her Royal Highness frequently mention the attack, and say she would have some person to be al wayt near her. I cannot now recollect her pre cise words. I beg to ask whether 'you yourself, or Mr. Flynn, or any other 'person on board the ship, could not have answered that purpose much bet ter than a landsman ?-1 imagine if that were the only cause, a seafaring man would be most capa ble of rendering assistance. Would he not have protected her Royal High ness Letter from the rolling of the ship ?—L-He Will th e witness. state the occasion or cause of his quarre l with B aron o, upte d a . The Loup :CHANCELLOR. here apprehended, that the question could not be so put, as they could not-ask the cause of a quarrel. • Did any circumstance occur at her Roy a l Highness's residence to your knowledge, that occasioned the quarrel between you and Oinp teda ?--It was by the confession of a servant ; I saw him upo►► his knees, begging pardon for his crime. The LORD CHANCELLOR here remarked, that the witness had stated he saw a servant on knees, and bezging pardon for his crime. But if it was intended to mention what that servant said, it must be proved by himself at their Lord ships' bar. Before whom was the servant kneeling ?--Be fore her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales. What was the servant's name ?—Maurice Grady. Here the Earl of LAUDERDALL said he wished to know how the last questions and answers could stand upon the evidence ; which objection gave occasion to a series of remarks from Earl Gaty and Lord HoLLAND, and during which explana tions took place between Earl GREY and the Earl of LAUDERDALE. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that the witness had been asked what was the cause of the quarrel, and the fair inference from his answer was, that the confession of the servant had led to that quarrel, but nothing mere was said. If the servant were not called to the Bar, it would be a waste of their Lordships' time to discuss the point, as the whole evidence on the subject would go for no thing. After some remarks from the Marquess. of BUCKINGII.IIII, the earl of CARNARVON t and the ,Marquess of DEVONSHIRE, the witness was next asked where Maurice lived at the time, who an swered, that he was a servant to the Princess of Wales. - Witness was then asked, if it was in conse. quence of any thing communicated by her Roy a Highness to him that he called out Baron ()alp. teda This question was objected to by the Earl of Lauderdale, but defended by Earl Grey. Here upon the Lord Chancellor said, that the wit ness's quarrel with Baron Otnpteda, had nothing to do with the issue ; this was his objection to the question last put ; and he would not be doing his duty if he did not say, decidedly and plain ly, that the question could not be put. Explanations then took place between the Earl of Liverpool and Earl Grey, respecting the propriety of their Lordships not putting ques tions that were not within the rules of law, in order to avoid loss of time, and giving rise to dis cussions that were useless. . The witness was then asked if he knew where Maurice. Grady was, in answer to which he stated that he ' had heard he was in Eng land, but did *jot know where he now lived, or with whom:* Ile added, in consequence of another question put, that when in her Royal Highness's suite, he did not converse with the in ferior servants of her house, that he never had mentioned the Baron Ompteda to Majocci, nor Majocci to him. Witness left under his examination by their Lordships.

QUIS DICERE F:fILSUM ALIDS.IT? LONDON, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1820. THE QUEEN.--Unwilling as we are to make any comments on the pending Trial, we cannot avoid noticing the different manner in which the Opposition Papers treat the Witnesses for and against her MAJESTY. All the prevarications and gross contradictions of the former Witnesses are not only passed over and excused, but absolutely justified,and, when justification seems impossible, are held out as the effect of fatigue and agitation. But the Witnesses against the QUEEN are held forth as prodigies of wickedness, and their evi dence is stigmatized as the most malignant and incredible mass of perjuries I!? GENOA, SCPT. 30.—A Letter from Palermo, dated the 15th inst., just received by a Sardinian vessel, states, " I am sure it will give you sin cere pleasure to know that an arrangement with Naples is actually in progress, and I trust that a few days more will establish the peace through out the Island." We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday last. The Moniteur contains a Royal Ordonnance, directing that the Christening of the Duke of BORDEAUX shall take place at Notre Dame, (without yet fixing the day) in the pre sence of the Peers and Deputies, the Ministers, the different Public Bodies, Deputations from the respective- towns, &c. &c.—The following are extracts : " PAIII4. OCT. ft.—Yesterday the King held a Court, which was attended by the Princes, all the Ministers, several Mar shah and Lieutenant-Generals, and a great number.uf per- suns of dhtioction. " VIENNA. SF:PT. et; —lt is now understood that the inter. view of the Sovereigns will talie place at Tropinth, on the 2914 October. The :Ministers of France and. England Will be ad 'flitted, hut no others. " COPENWAGEN, SEPT. 27.—A report has been for some days circulated here that the Nlaritime Powers of the North are on the point of concluding a Treaty of Navigatioo, which will secure to Thum great advantages on the shores of the Baltic and the North Sea. •• BERL.' SLI.T.3O.—The Dute of Cumberland has quitted this capital fur Di-ssau." There was never in this orany Country a period when the MONARCH was exposed to such daring attacks as are every day directed against his MA JESTY, in the most odious Caricatures, as well as by the Seditious Press. Similar attacks were made upon the unfortunate Louts SEIZE, and prepared his way to the scaffold, and such is obviously the object and the end of the mis creants who are daily assailing his MAJESTY in shop-windows and infamous publications. We have been assured that his MAJESTY is fully aware of these outrageous insults ; but, far from indulging a vindictive feeling, he said, " more in sorrow than in anger," that " he did not know he had so many enemies." It is degrading to the generous character of this Nation not to dis countenance such disloyal and indecent proceed ings, even without the intervention of the Law, which no doubt would be fully competent to cor rect the evil, if the time and attention of the AT TORNEY and SOLICITOR GENERAL were not un happily occupied by the most unfortunate In quiry that ever afflicted the Nation. Mr. DENIS•O'BRYEN, whose name has been mentioned in the.accounts of the Bow-street Exa mination, respecting the Seditious Placards, as given by The Morning Chronicle and Tice Times, and his situation having been .misrepresented in both of those Papers, has addressed the sub joined Letter to the respective Editors. Mr. O'BRYEN is a gentleman who has long been well known in political and literary circles, and was peculiarly favoured with the confidence of Mr. Fox „when in and out of Office. " tt,—l shall proceed, with all possible brevity, and with out any preface, to correct the falsehoods contained in your Bow-street account of Nlooday last regarding myself. lit. It is false that I held, or hold, a sinecure place under the present .government. Tire only office which I possess is colonial appointment, conferred tipot, me more than 14 years since by Lord Grey (when his Lordship was First Lord of the Admiralty), at the instance of Mr. Fox. " id. It is false that I am a wr i ter tar a certa i n M orn i ng Paper. Were I such, i should Dot offer apology or expla nation for such a disposition of myself. The fact; however, is, that although in the course of my life, and still an occa sional Correspondent of several papers (The Times amt Chru . 'nick included) like thousand; of. others, I never had either property, management, engagement, employment, or con cern in any Nenspaper, since 11 e hour of my birth. " ad. It is false that distinguished Characters connected with the Ministtnial Press are in habits of meeting at toy house. Upon the most accurate retrospect of which my me mory is capabi.e, I do not recollect any ,g,entleman now con nected with any possible Paper t o have been inside my threshokd for the last i 4 inotllts. Such an incident may have occurred, as there' are gentlemen in that line of voca tion whom I know and highly esteem ; hut I have not the slightest remembrance of such a visitor for a tilll year past. " 4th.. That Pearson•and Vickery were refused admittance by' the servant happens to be fact, though found in the said statement ; hitt the comph•xion given to that refusal is as false as the three first beads. Tbe truth is, that lam rery much annoyed by applicants, in real or pretendrd wait; a I have, during m y years' residence to this street, bl i .e f ti a obliged, t perhaps 4t scores of times, to threaten"my ser vants with tlistuicsal, on the score of receiving begging let ters, and admittiog stramlers. It is to the disciohne thrice arising, coupled with seeking for a name unknown to Haase servants as a male visitant, that they ranged to open the door. The instant that I, who was getting out of bed, !earn ad the name and object of Vickery, every part of the house was immediately submitted to his resear,h. I shall not add another word.
