lie lived, but to be influenced to secure his son from a danger
which he (the NobleNlarquis hoped unjustly) thought threatened
him. lie thought it would be desirable that these two letters
should be made evidence to bring the subject further before the
House.
It being agreed by the House, that the original letters should
be produced and made official, the Marquis of Lawspows pre-
sented the letters.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said. that M. Mnrictti should
be called in, and sworn as to the identity of the letters.
Joseph Nlarietti was then called in and sworn. Five letters
were then presented to him to identify.—No. 1 was a letter from
his father, kited the 21st of August. which he had received
by post.—No. 2 was also written by his father, and dated the
16th of September. He had received it by the post. in an en-
velope.— so. 3 was the copy of a letter. written by his father to
Colonel Brown, dated the 19th of September. This copy was
in the hand-writing of his father.—No. 4 was the copy of a
letter, written by M. Albertonio to Colonel Brown. The copy
was in the hand-writing of Albertonio.—No. 3 was a letter from
his father.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN inquired of M. Alarietti, if
he had received any other letters on the subject?
M. Marietti stated, that he had received a very short letter
from Albertonio, saying that he (Marietti) was interfering too
much, and that he had been seen in the house of Dumont. To
this letter he had answered, that M. Albertonio had been miss,
informed. and that it was not true that he had been at the house
of Dumont.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN inquired who M. Ciceri was?
M. Marietta replied. that he was a friend of Colonel Brown,
who often went to the house of his father.
The LORE) CHANCELLOR wished that M. Marietti should
to•morron morning produce the letter of Albertooio, which be
understood him to have in his possession.
Counsel were then called in, and

Mr. WILLIAMS immediately recommenced. There was, he
said, no subject connected with this ease to which his learned
friend and himself had directed their observations more fre-
quently or with more force than to that part of it which regarded
the deficiency of witnesses for the prosecution, by which her
Msjesty's Counsel would have been prevented front the necessity
of calling witnesses at all. Their Lord hips would permit him
to commence his statement this day by noticing one or two facts
illustrative of the difficulties under which herlllnjesty laboured.
It would Ise remembered that the general nature of the evidence
of Kresge was as to her seeing the Queen and Bergiuni together
in a bed room, and the arm of Bergaini in a certain position.&c.
Now it that a Chamberlain of the Grand Duke of
Baden had been in attendance upon her Majesty during her
whole residence there. Upon the propriety of calling such
evidence it would be needless for him to expatiate ; and measures
were taken to procure the attendance of a person so important to
the case. Her Magesty wrote a letter with her own hand, and
sent it by a most respectable the 'Neither of the Queen's
Attorney General, to secure tt Seft:trtltendance of that Chamberlain.
That letter did not obtain the production of the witness. She
then wrote another to the Chamberlain, and another to the
Grand Duke, but without success. Three special messengers
faded in producing that witness, who was himself most anxious
to conic ; and who, on the last occasion, declared, with tears in
his eyes, that he had orders to the contrary. There was another
instance of difficulty. A woman was compelled to embark upon
the opposite side, by those who han refused to permit the Cham•
bedlam to appear. Again, it appeared that the Queen had seen a
Palace at lissaadt, of which she wished to become the occupier.
The Grand Duke had at first no objection. The treaty upon the
subject was allowed to go on so far, that the Chamberlain had
gone the length of purchasing furniture to equip the Palace, but
suddenly intimation was given to her that her residence there
might nut be agreeable, and the Palace was refined. Again, it
was not an icunaterial fact in the view of the Queen's Counsel,
that no evidence had been adduced, upon the part of the prose-
cution, with respect to the character and conduct of &mini,
while in the service of Gen. Pino. An application had been
made, at an early period, to General Pino to appear upon this
occasion ' • but some communication, it was believed, took place
between the General and the Austrian Government, in whose
service the General was, and it was insinuated to him, that if he
came to England, he could not come in his uniform. This inti.
mation appeared rather extraordinary, and the General wishing
to know whether if he came he would lose his commission. no
answer was returned, and Gen. l'ino did not and would not come.
Did not these things furnish powerful argument upon the part
of the Queen, upon a subject which without facts, could not be
argued upon at all ? This statement he made to their Lordships
as auxiliary to the most powerful facts stated by his learned
friend, and reasoned with such irresistible effect.—The learned
gentleman then concluded by expressing a hope that these dis-
graceful proceedings would not be pushed on to their utmost
extent on such tainted, perjured evidence. as had been adduced
at their bar; but that the judgments of their Lordships would
be such as to remove animanues, and, peradventure, by good
fortune, still maintain the peace of the country. " This (said
the learned gentleman) " is the first wish of my heart; the fact
is, that at all hazards, and regardless of all other consequences,
the cause of substantial justice may triumph."
After a few words from the Lord Chancellor and Lord Hob
hind,
James Leman was called to the Bar and sworn. He was
examined by Mr. DEMMAN.--16 clerk to Mr. Visaed, solicitor
to her Majesty. He was seat by the command of her Majesty to
Carleruhe. Ile left England on the let of September, and
arrived at Carlaruhe on the 14th. He took a letter from the
Qireen, directed to the Chamberlainnf the Grand Duke of Baden.
lie caw the Chamberlain on the 17th, on the road between
Carlaruhe and Baden, and told him that the object of his coming
was to request his attendance in England upon this occasion. He
also saw and spoke to the Chamberlain on the subject of his
attendance in this country on the ton. The Chamberlain was
willing to come, but said he could not without the consent of the
die Grand Duke. On the 23d Sept. he told witness that he had
seen the Grand Duke, and that he had refused to permit him to
come. He said he enjoyed his Hanoverian estates through his
Majesty's kindness, but that should not prevent him from
coming, for he was satisfied that his Majesty would not think
ill of Jinn for coming. Witness wrote a letter to the Chamber.
lain, requesting that he would make his deposition before a legal
authority, as to the grounds of his refusal. In reply, he said the
consent the Grand Duke would be necessary ; without that he
could not do it. Witness returned to this country the day
before yesterday.
Colonel Antony Buller 11. Leger swam, and examined by
Mr. DENHAM.
Were you Chamberlain to the Queen ?—I had that honour.
How long did you continue in that office ?—About eleven years
—from laUn to 1819.
Did you go abroad with the Queen in 1814 went as far as
Brunswick with her Majesty. She then dispensed with my
swear:Lutes, on account of my health and family. She was
going abroad. I understood to Germany and Italy. I under-
stootl before ben M*ety left England. According to that
permission I left her Majesty at Brunswick ; and she was good
enough to say I might return alien I chose. In the course
of 1819, I received a communication from her Majesty,. It was
in July or August- I was informed by that communication, that
she meant to return to England in September. In consequence
of that communication I prepared to meet her Majesty at
Dover, It was impossible for me on account ofmy health to
wait upon bee Majesty on the Continent—my health was such
that I was obliged to confine myself all the evenings of the winter
months to my room in Devonshire. When her Majesty returned
to this country I had the honour to pay my respects to her—l did
so inunodlitely upon hes morn. In consequence of tin stilt of
