oved to conttaaitt, as no. ecestion hid been pot to NI aj occi tnt Lair ~iiu(lt, Dr. LUSFIINGION said, be bopea he should he able to the necessity of patiing the question, as framed by his ixt , »ed Friend, as it was Voictly relevant to the matter, and ul the greatest importance to her llttjesty's case. If it should eventually be proved, by pursuing this inquiry, that Baron Othfiretia had acted as a spy upon the Queen, suborned }ter sett:ants, lined leersons to pick her lochs, and seize her pa- Peri, and taken such in-ea - sures as not only had injured her character, but inight have affected her life, he submitted that this question ought to be juit. tokt ftEO';q).A.I.E ~ vas of opinion, that the Couasel had t brit bound., and :were fltbt entitled tx., state !lot ;►plrlying to the evi.tyncv HOW bcfort tile House.— -If'trowerer , ii was proposed to bring evidence in support of it, then; the iities s tiori nii4ht certainly be rut. F. 441 (;14.EY et,ntentled that if perszins had been hired to ttrce open tire ?mks and puitoin the Papal of the Queen, and if Wl;at the Learned Conn4et liatt al:egvd were true, and could he pnired to he so, it ‘egs strictly a collateral point ; it such were really the "case,•lie could nut coincide with the tt opinio_id the L ea ro,d Lord, that her Majesty's Counsel had exceed...4l their !munch in putting such a questiun to the w•it- ncss at the Bar. • ItEDESDALF., in explanation, said if evidence were to be givrn to the point, it would be proper that Majocci -should he called in first. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, this was certainly the oCrst time in Lis life in which he had heard it proposed to prOve the acts of a third person (meaning Baron Ompteda) by a conversation which nne witness had with another ; and it would be in his judgment quite contrary to all the proceed in other Courts. Lord ERSKINE, as far as we could collect, was in favour of the question being put: . The Earl of LesIif)ERDALE had risen in order to refer to the evidence then on the table of the House, and show what had been proved, by Majoeci's-testimony in reference to the point; be added, that his Noble:and Learned Friend (Erskine) was perfectly out ,of order, whereas he had risen to restore 9rder, and wished their Lordships to consult the evidence on We table. Lord ERSKINE could not help complimenting his Noble }:riend upon his anxiety for taliing the business out of the hands of the Counsel fur the Queen. Dr. LLTSHINGTON was now permitted to resume his re rvarts ; he observed, that when he aas stopped in his argu ment by their Lordships, he had never intended to sheer, that Majocci's conversation will► the witness was to prove an: t Ging respecting the actions of Baron Ompteda. He merely wished to draw an argument in explanation of the conduct of t kel4nern, whip lead been compelled to have somebody to sleep near her on whose fidelity she could depend for protection from the dangers 'that encompassed her and menaced her. The cleating up of this principal point would explain many' acts of Ltr Royal Highness. The existence of a plot against her Majesty was denied by the Atturney-General, but it re nitined to disprote the existence of this plot; when, fur irtstanee, Majoeci was asked if be knew the Baron Omp teda, he answered be could not recollect him, he could not remember his name, because it was an unusual one, a very strange one. Now, surely, if it could by proved in evi dence that Majocci not only knew, but had spoken to Baron Oinpteda, and that he Was oncepresent at several scenes which he could not remember now, tt was of importance, in order to discredit the testimony ter had given at that Bar ; latterly its deed be remembered nothidg, —tie could not remember false keys, no picking - of locks, no porluiiii:ig of papers, nor hardly B.(9 —thing else, and nothing but a series Of Non nsf Rivordo e s could be extracted front him. fie: contended that, in such circumstances, he bud clearly a rid ht to contradict the forgetfulness of 2,lajoccr, and refresh his memory, ill she wing from another source that he really knew Itaron thispteda,and was aware of that plot so material to justify the conduct of the Queen. If it could be proved that Majocci had spoken of the plot, of the false keys, and of other facts, it must of necessity do away the effect of his denials ; was it not of importance to prove that, in the then excess of his enthu siasm for the Queen, Majocci hail said that if her Majesty would permit him, he would" kill Ompteda like a dog ! ! ! Such et idence, he contended, would supply the omissions in his - own, and remolso the impression Of his periory. Itlr. BROUGHAM spoke shortly, but ably, in support of the doctrine of his Learned Friend. Elie LORD ,CHANCELLOR thought it might possibly save their Lordships' time, if they referred to the evidence given hy►llrjocci at first. When, for instance, he was asked whether he knew any thing of a. quarrel, he said he remember ed' a quarrel between Mr. gownaru and the Baron, but be did not know the nature of it. The witness might thetefore be asked, what Majocci hadsaid of their quarrel; this however might perhaps be objected to, because the name of . Artron Orupteda bad not been directly brougktup. The AT had to apologize for trou blitig their Lordships with a very few words. He could not, imwevel ,help complainini of the statement made by theLearre ed Counsel on the opposite side, for he never !maid that Ba ron Pmpteda's nAlue had been refused till now; she had also to complain of the assertion of a Learned Counsel, that the credit of Majocci's testimony was entirely destroyed; for the credit due to his evidence, their Lordships were alone to judgv, and the proceedings had not art iced at that stage, when. sorb an opinion could be formed in fairness by eitherside. He, t herefore, could not permit the declaration of the wellness at the Bar, against the testimony of Majocci, to be received till the latter had been examined on that precise point. With le spett to the quarrel now adverted to, it would be recollected that Majocci had never been asked if he had talked to one William Carrington on the subject, or even if- be knew such a person at all. The question of his Learned Friends hail taken him by surprise ; it came like an after thought, and-might be intended for an after clap; but their Lordships wo uld nee the necessity of pointing the attention of Majocci to the person he' was stated to have talked with, and they writ hound in justice so to do, before the - wittness at the Bar wag ;allowed to depose to this point. No such questioe, it u;u4 imsreptatefl, and their Lordships would observe the fact, was put to Majocci in any form; lied therefore his Learn e d Friends most not be permitted to pursue their proposed ensue. If, indeed, the clwn); were , admitted, Jet their Lordships see the situation in which they would place the witntsses at rho bar ;, a situation, he would tiottertake to say, never beard of in the Courts below. What be .should contend was, that they most first call Ma jocci to the Bar, and' ask him the particular nneslion, with respect to the calumnies and slanders that were heaped on Baron .ompteda; as far as he knew any thing of the matter, he did -- not .hel.ere there o'as any ground for supporting them. elf er a series of observations from the Lord Chancellor, Lord trildric, Mr. tiroegham, alld the ~Attorncy•Genvral ; L u•nl Lr:lt ine was beard iti expianalion. The LORD CIINI\;UELLOR then siigectc(l,-that it would better to frame a rptesti Ot in point for t he opinion of the Learned Judges as to how far the practicetiow recommended was conSowtnt with the proceedings-of the Courts below; and he accordingly next submitted arinestion for the opinion of the Judges.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of Wednesday last.—The following are extracts : " Paau, Ocr, 4.—Yesteiday the Ambassadors and Foreign Ministers paid their respects to the King, and the Pope's Nuncio, iR their name, addressed his Majesty, felicitating hint on the birth of the Duke of Bourdeaux. The King returned a gracious Answer. " NINTH BULLETIN of the He. Aura of their Royal Ilighuesses the Duchess de J3Egal and the Mae of BOUR- nvAtlx, Bd.Oct. 8, A. M.

' Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess de Berri and the Duke of Bourdeaux continue very well.' " A Urussels Journal says, that the - order fur closing the Freemasons' Lodges in Prussia is not an individual measure, but that it is cinerrted with Austria and several other German Governments. It is added that the adoption of it in the other States of the Confederation is to be proposed in the Diet. " Te Deem was chanuted yesterday •in the Metropolitan Church to cout►nemorate int birth of the 'Julie of Bourdeaux the Royal Family, the great Officers of State, &c. &e. &c. at t endrd Ihe ceremony. There was afterwat ds a Gstri hullo!) of provisions, and in the evLning • lheworlis, and a grand " The d,ty was kept as a holiday at the Bourse. " Nu aEmbEao, SEPT. 29.—1 t is said that important di s- patches have been brought to Vienna by a courie•r extlaordinary from Wariaw, in consequence of whi'cli a meeting of the Ministers took place at the resirielice of the Prince de Met- ternich, s ho, it is rsported, immediately sent off an ostafette to the Cmiieror of Austria, at the Camp of Pest. It is stated, That in cemsequenee of these disparelies, the meeting - of the three Sovereigns at Troppan, in Austrian Silesia, will he de layed, the Emperor of Russia not haring yet fixed any dad• for his departure from Warsue. This circumstance hat excited some sensation amongst our polis'icians. " It is still suit" that a new European Congress will as sembic at Vienna towards the end of October." We are assured by a respectable Correspondent, who is well acquainted with the affairs of Spain, as far as the-present situation of the Country ad mits of reasonable conjecture, that our late eb sthations on the removal of piece were errone ous. He is understood to be a staunch Republi can, and therefore:not likely to be a resolute supporter of a Monarchial Government, however limited may be the powers of THE KING. He appeared disposed to assume .too much influence over the i.;ou'rEs, who were more willing to. sup port the Throne. than to bend to his pretensions. The KING, therefore, finding that the Represen tatives of the People relied upon his sincerity and his lirillingness to promote the establishment of a new and sound Constitution, deemed it wise to consent to the temporary removal of a man too proud of his concern in the Revolution, and too confident in his expectations, till matters have assumed a more settled form, and he may be dis posed to take amore moderate part in future ar rangements. We learn besides,, that the har mony subsisting between the KING and the Cortes, which seems to be undissembied on both sides, promises a firm Government, with a due portion of rational freedom to the People. The birth of a PRINCE in France, though it has given joy to the People, and promises well for the Country, has driven the Revolutionary Faction to despair it hence becomes more dar ing. Arrests are daily - taking place. General BERTON, it is said, has been struck off the list of Generals. The world should be apprized of the manoeuvres of this Faction, which are intended to shake - the foundation of every Government in Europe, and to destroy in all Countries the Altar and the Throne. Yesterday her Royal highness the Ducii s eEs of CLARENCE took an ai:ing. FOR THE SUN. REVOLUTIONARY THREATS. Ma. Eorrort—The chise of the speech of Hun MAJ :CST Y'S A ttorney-G enera I, either means some thing.or nothing: if nothing, then it is a mere empty threat to terrify the Legislature from their duty—a bug-a-boo, -to frighten children—a hol: low turnip'with a candle in it, the manufacturer of which ought to be whipped and put in the corner. Bat if it means SOMETIIING !! aye Sir, that is a point which must not now be minced. It mast be true or false ; and ,he who threw it out must know i*s real character. If jidse, then the Law yer has done all he can for his CLIENT; and more than 1 hope be would do for himself! 'BUT IF TRUF;—and the Queen's Attorney- General really knows it to be so ; then he must know that a Revolution is not only hatching— but hatched—that the mine is laid, and ready to spring the moment the Lords vote the Bill—that the Guy Faux of the present day is in fact ready with his torch ! If it does not mean this, the threat is false and presumptuous—lf it does, it is Misprision of Treason to conceal the truth, and all the facts connected with it ! The office of the Home De partment, and not the House of Lords, is the place for the disclosure ! If this is true, well, indeed, may I exclaim; in the words of an expiring Statesman, " Oh my COuntry." Your's, IGNOTUS. SIM' NEWS.

ANECDOTE—An eminent Barrister of the present day, who, in early' life, had much Old Bailey practice, was consulting - with his Client on an approaching trial. Searching into the merits and demerits of the case, he found the accused rather too costive upon one or two points ; Come, come,' my friend !" said the honest Lawyer, " tell the truth here, or we shan't be able to lie to any purpose in another place :" Letters are in town from Port au Prince, stating, that a Committee of foreign merchants had been' formed to inquire into the circum stances which led to the late , melancholy fire there, ana to ascertain the amount of the loss sustained. It was proved that it originated in accident, and was not the act of incendiaries, as was at first apprehended, and that the loss, on the part of foreign merchants, in book debts only, was equal to 700,090 dollars, all which debts became cancelled, the sufferers having had no means of effecting insurance. Thursday Lieutenant-Colonel WEsirEror, with Capt. DANIELL, arrived in 'Dublin from Oporto, per the Fair Hibernian, These Gentlemen had been Officers in tie Portuguese army, but their services being no longer considered necessary in that country, in coniequence of the Revolution, they have returned home. As the Duke of WELLINGTON was returning on horseback from the House of Lords, on Tues day, through St. James's Park, a crowd of 20 or persons, assembled at the Stable-yard gate, hissed and groaned as he passed. His Grace immediately pulled up his horse, and turned to wards them, apparently with the intention of demanding their motives for so doing, but not a single individual waited his approach, the whole of them instantly taking to their heels and scam pering of y in every direction. The Noble Duke smiled, and passed on. The Dtrke and Duchess DE CAZEi gave a most splezulid entertainment, on Thursday, at their seat at Harrow-on-the-Hill. Several marquees were erected on the lawn, where upwards of 200 cover§ were laid for the young Gentlemen of Harrow School.
