lON DON,
WEDNESDAY, 04,-ronsa 1$ 1840.

The whale of yesterday was occupied in the
noose of Lords in discussing the propriety of ad-
inittieg evidence on the part of the QUEEN, to
•hew that the Advocate VII.IIARCATI, of Milan,
had offered bribes to A USIA'S!, the pupil or clerk
of the Advocate CADAZZO, eiiguged for the QUEEN,
to utd•ace him to ab-tract papers necessary for her
MAJESTY'S defence. It is hard to imagine how
any, Judges, sincerely solicitous after truth. could
Con►cientiously object to this species of evidence.
It is well known that VILVAIICATII was employed
as the advocate rind general *gent of the Al.lati
Commission—and a. the Milan Commission 'ni-
tiated immird nt-ly from the Government of this
country, ios loik is wanted in the chain that con-
'weir VILSIARCATI with the scival prosecu ors in
the present 01,e. SllOOll VILMAReATI therefore
be detected in offering bribes, either to procure
tviderice against the QUEEN on the one hand, or
to deprive her by dishouest arts of any means of
defence upon the other, mutt not such a discovery
tend to display the real character of the p 014!C
tion that has been instituted against her Ma-
Jesnr ? The same objections that have been urged
to prevent the conduct of VILMARCATI from being
exposed to the House, must be equally effectual
iii saving the conduct cf Colonel liaowe, or Mr.
Cootie, or Mr. Powirt.s, from publicity, should
any acts of theism seem to be deserving of censure;
mild yet, if circumstances were to reach the know-
ledge of the QUEEN'S Counsel which would 'hew
that any one of these Gentlemen had been pur-
chasing evidence, or tampering with the witnesses
fur the Queers, or had sought by dishonourable
means to obtain any of her MAJEsTY's papers.
could the Lords for an instant refuse to hear eii-
deuce iii support of such sit accusation—and would
not such ■ charge, if substantiated, destroy the
very leisis of the whole proveedings ? nib Ma-
IESTY'S Nlinisters are the may avowed prosecutors
in the present case. Is it consistent with the cha-
racter they Ingot to tn.intain in the estimation of
the public, to endeavour to protect the nets of any
of their agents from publicity ? Concealment and
reserve must generate the worst stispicions; and if
the Ministers of the Crown, in a case of such mag-
nitude as the present, which has excited a painful
inte►est throughout all classes of the state, arc WI..
tesfied to entrench themselves within the ►trict
technicalities of ordinary practice in the Courts of
eoininou law, and labour to vrevent the conduct
of their agents from bring made the subject of ani-
madversion, they will disgust and ohms the public
mind, fail in the attainment of their great object,
slid run a chance of losing their places into the

bargain.
Shook' the Ministers of the Crown. however, con-
ceive their own characters to be of less value than
those of their agents in this mutter, or feel that sue.
cess iu their present pursuit is worthy of some SUM
lice on their parts, the !loose of Lords ought to
ertimate the good opinion of 'nankin(' at a higher
value, and reflect that upon dn. good opinion rest
lint only their own individual aid Item:mud prove-
r:ty, but the well-being of millions, and the very
