rate of the Barons., and many of the neighbouring gentry, with
their families were there. Her Royal Highness came to the ball
rOOlll, and sometimes she danced. Tne conduct of the persons
collected on these occasions was most regular. I went with her
Royal Highness to Ca:l,ruhe. We arrived there on the 28th of
Mach, 1818, about mid clay. On that day we dined at the
Margravine's, and supped at the Grand Duke's, where we dined
on the second day. Baron Dendi was Chamberlain. On the
third day we dined at the Margravine's. In the evening we went
to the Theatre.and then to sup with the Grand Duke. On the
fourth day her Royal Highness went to Baden, where we slept
that night. I renumber going from Chatnitz to Inspruck with
Belli:win, about passports. We returned between two and three
in the morning, and went into the room of her Royal 'gimes:,
where she was sitting on the bed, half lying, covered with a
shawl. Victorine was sitting on the bed of her Royal Highness,
and Dumont was also in the room. The room of the Countess
Oldi joined that of her Royal Highness. A few moments after
we returned, an dicer from the Police arrived; I spoke to him,
and I returned to the room of her Royal Highness often; first
to give an account of who had arrived; to give an account of the
weather ; and lastly, that they were dearirg the road from the
snow. We remained up all that night, making preparations for
setting out. There were beds at the inn fur all the suite, below
and in the corridor, near the room of her Royal Highness. I
have seen Bergami in the kitchen, on the stairs, at the door, and
in the room of her Royal Highness, but never saw him un.
dressed. I remember her having been at Trieste, where she i
staid a day and a half. From Trieste to Venice. I have been at
Rome with her Royal Highness. From Rome she went to Sc.
negalia, abort three days' journey. She travelled in an English
landaulet. The Countess Oldi. Bergami, and Victorine travelled
with her. I did not see EACCIIi in that journey as courier. 1
have seen Carlo Forte as courier: he began the service in Italy
at Rome; but from Milan he began at Loretto. 1 never saw
her Royal Highness ride in a pado pundit. It is a carriage
which cannot contain more than one person, and is without
springs. I have seen dances periOnned by Mahomet frequently.
It is it most simple dance, and nothing indecent. Her Royal
Highness was in the frequent habits of intercourse with the first
nobility at Rome. During all the time that I have seen the
Princess and Bergami together, I never witnessed the slightest
impropriety in their conduct with each other. I have served in
the army from 1803 to 1815, and have been honoured with the
Order of the Iron Crown, on my return from the Russian cam.

following edict s—" My Lords, before your Lordships retire, I
wish to call your attention for a few moments to the peculiar cir-
cumstances in which we, her Majesty's Counsel, are placed. We
now find ourselves under the necessity of appealing to your jus-
tice, and to which we trust, we shall not appeal in vain. It will
be in the recollection of your Lordships, that in an early stage
of this defence we called on a person who had been sent over to
Carlshruhe for a witness, not only of high rank and character,
but a witness the most irni ottani in thei defence of the Queen—a
witness who would shew, what he alone could shew, that her Ma.
jesty was not the persotidescribed,l as (g low habits, associating
with vulgar persons, and skulking from every one of rank and
respectability. Tne witness, my Lords. would prove, that so far
from this being she case, her Nlajesty after returning from
her long journey went to Germany, visited her blood relations,
and there, and not in Italy, she desired to fix her abode. A
Palace was taken for her, and she had no other wish than to live
and die in the midst of her kindred. My Lords, I conceive this
evidence complete, decisive, plenary, and not leaving one stone
to rimove front the structure of perjured accusation that has been
raised against her. It now falls to my duty to complain that this
witness is still witheld from us, I acquit his Majesty's Govern-
ment of all blame. for they have done their duty. The Minister
of this Country applied at the Court of the Grand Duke of Baden
for the Baron Dendi' Chamberlain of the Grand Duke, to conic
over as a witness for her Majesty. M. Berstodt, at length. told
the chamberlain that he was not refused permission to come, but
said lie had no poser to enforce him to mine. and yet this very

against her Mitivety. Then a letter of pemiission is given to
Baron Dendi, but he is by nature a worthy man, and by peek*.
aim a chamberlain, and knowing the feelings of the Court of
Baden better than we do, he fails ill at this very moment, when
his services were most wanted. It would almost seem as if Ras.
teller illness had passed from Milan to Darien, on purpose to visit
this worthy chtuntrerbuti, who now finds himself so ill, that a
long. long period will be necessary for Ins recovery. The faithful
shiunberlam, like a good courtier, falls ill most opportunely for
one side of the quesuon, and no doabt he has his reason, but
most unfortunately tot the Queen, who feels herself now and to.
ever deprived of this most important witness. My Lords, I
throw myself on your justice; but, after having completely
refuted and dispelled seven out of the ten charges made against
her Majesty, are we *still to be compelled to gu on with the
defence, under such manifest, such moastrous ?
