and their -followers, lamenting oily' the infsimited
passion of the QUEEN, and the grievous lot of her
illustrious Consort in having so frail and so ungrate-
ful a rib? Who could then have ventured to fling
hack the lie uptnievery presumptuous foreigner who
should dure to couple the name of our QuEEN with
guilt. and load our national chur..cter with
in-
fsmy ? From these her MAJESTY'. firmness has
saved us, isod she will have her reward io the rerord-
ed triumph of her innocence, and in the living gra-
titude of her people.

Dr. HOLLAND was the first witness called.
His testimony corroborated that of several who pre.
ceded him, respectivii the undeviating propriety of
her MAJEsTY's conduct, ■nd gave a further contra-
diction to the gratuitous assertion of the ATTOR•
NEY-GENIMAL, that her MAJESTY'. English at-
tendants had abandoned her, in consequence of her
infatuated attachment to BERGASII. This Gentle-
man gives us at least negatively a little insight into
the manner in *lnch the evidence against the
QUEEN was sought after. Dr. HOLLAND was
known to hive been her MaiEs.TY's Physician, and
that he had resided with her for some time on the
continent. He was one of those Idiom the AT-
TORNEY-GENERAL mentioned as having abandoned
their Royal Mistress ; yet, although an inference
was thus moat ungenerously drawn from his return-
ing to England, and although he has beeu p►netis.
ing in London openly as a physician during the last
four years, no application has ever been made to
him upon the part of Ministers to ascertain what
degree of credibility was due to the allegations of
others, with reference to the conduct of her MA-
JESTY.

Connect this circumstance with the avidity dip.
played in gleaning the rich soil of Indian inge.
nuity, and say whether it evinces a disposition in
the Ministers of the Crown to make the discovery
of truth the primary object of their search ? Would
it not have been advisable to have examined all the
English attendants who had left the Princess of
WALES upon the supposed discovery of her impro-
per conduct, previous to opening an office at Milan
for the encouragement of scandal ? Sir W. Gehl.,
Mr. )(EPPEL CRAVBX. Lady CHARLOTTE LINDSAY,
and Doctor HOLLAND, would have given the same
information to the Ministers iu their Cabinet as
they offer to the [louse of Lords; sir did the Minis-
tees of the Crown, in commencing a process so
preguant with danger to the stability of the throne,
to the moral character and tranquillity of the coun-
try, deem themselves exempt from the necessity of
ascertaining the truth of the charge before they
should venture to publish it ? Did
.they conceive
tbat they too, as well as the Secret Committee
which they appointed iii the Hoes. of Lords, were
to ful6l the functions of a Greed Ju►y, and that in
this character their only duty was to admit evidence
of every kind for the prosecution, and close their
ears against the slightest sound which might whis-
per a doubt of its credibility ?
The other witnesses examined yesterday were
CHARLES MILLS, an English gentleman, princi-
pally resident at Rome; a Colonel FEVILLE, of the
French army; CARLO FORTE, the courier who
attended upoo the Princes. of WALES during the
journey from Loretto to Rome, iu which S.ccnt
pretended that he had witnessed the disgusting.
scene in the carriage; and Lieutenant PIA ex, of
the British navy, who had actually commanded the
polacre which the Princess of WALE. sailed in
Fran Sicily to Africa. The evidence of these wit-
nesses is most importaut. FORTE tams, that on
the occasion of the journey, SACCHI had pikeded
the Princess by two hours, and consequently could
not have seen the Princess asleep in the carriage ;
he also states, that the carriage was an English
landeulat, and that either the Countess (hot or
DREWRY eat between the Princess and BEROAKI
during the whole of the journey.
Lieutenant FLYNN denies the possibility of the
Master and Mate of the nature having seen the
Patnoess skins/ ow BERGASII•s knee do a gun,
sad proves that the bath used by the Putman,
which turns out to be a lhrge tub. was too large to
have been adiiitted into the cubism of her Itoyal
