in the drawing.roosse---in no other room did she ever see
gentlemen; and as to eating sandwiches, she had herself
unused them to be brooglit in, according to daily cus-
tom, mot be tooloolnedly might have been sitting o• the

that Cole and Biel out had not been sifted and questioned as
they ought to lie. The Law Lords were nut always, nut
even °fire, present; and the exautivations were left to Earl
Spencer and Lord Grenville. Cole was not punishable,
because the two Lords could not adinioister en oath ;
and yet, mark the rouduct of this man. He had obeetved
a man in a great coat at midnight, without feeling or
giving any alarm; and yet this man bad his nerves so
shocked as to alas t at seeing • gentleman silting on a sofa
at mid-day ! He could suffer the approach of a man at mid-

seeing a friend with his mistress in an open room! It

all the observations which he made on the Princess's family,
which determined her to remove him; and fur this purpose
she desired the Duke of Kent to acquaint bins that she

ment would have been made desirable to him, if he had con.
dueled himself with propriety.
The Lampert% servals of Lady Boogies, the Cisansnis.
sinners hail not thought proper to examine, no doubt from
their sense of the ignominy into which Lady Dunglas had
plunged herself; but it was unfortunate that by the absence
of Sir Sidney Smith she was unable to call on him to refute
the Declaration of the Lampert,.
The next person impelled to the Prioress was Mr. Law.
noire the painter. Mrs. Lisle said, that she sat to him in
London. mid at Blackheath; mid Cole said," be slept two
or three nights at Montagu House. That one night she
was with hiM alone in the blue room, after the Ladies had
retired; and that afterward* when he supposed that Mr.

heard • whispering in it, upon which lie weal away." la
his first declaration he said, that much suspicion was " en-
tertained of Mr. Lawrence," but tic does not mention the
whispering nor the locked door. This contradiction is
woithy of remark. It is perfectly true that is 1800 or
1501, Air. Lawrence painted • large picture of her and her
daughter, and he asked to be permitted to sleep • few 'sights
at Montego liaise., that be might eel up and "'token the pic-
tnre in the morning. Sir William Beechey had dane the same.

qttently might have happened that he stayed till one or two
o'clock. The Ladies and he went together; but it might
have happened that oases he was left with her, as he himself
recollects List it slid happen for a minute or two after the
Ledies hid retired. He lived in the greatest intimacy with
Mr. Lock and Mr. Angerstria, and the Princess bad asked
him to dine wills them No doubt she often sat alone In
him, and often eositinaed in COOVerilltloll with him after
Slit' sitting for the day was over—but it never occurred to
her that it was neermary to her homier to have a witness
upon .11 ouch occasions. Mr.. Lisle says, that she left the
Princess al Mr. Lawrence's, but thinks Mrs. Fitzgerald was
with her.
As to Captain Mashy, the evidence of Bidgood, Frances
and Mrs. Lisle are to be enusidererl:--inid first as to
Mrs. Lisle's evidence: she had plaited two boys under his
care, and Mrs. Lisle says, " that he was Hie person with
whom the Princess took greater pleasure in speaking to Mao
any other; that she behaved to him only as an w•asas,
would do who liked flirting—hut she would not have thought
that any married woman would have behaved properly
who behaved as she did to him. She would not say she was
soothed is him, but it was a flirting conduct. She •
saw tiny gallantry, as Mining her band or the like."
llsis WWI the aunt of her evidence. The Princess was in.
timliteed 'to Captain Manly at Lady Townalomeni. She
pet two boys tinder his care. While the African, his ship,
was fitting out, he took apertmetrla al Blackheath, and Are
sometime, IMO him. Haring pieced these bays caller him,
she made him a present of a little plate, as it was con-
stantly her practice to make a present amine sort where
she imposed tumble. la like mestere Sir Samuel flood had
two of her boys, 'toilette gave him au epergne. She admits
that she frequently warmed with Captain Maidiy, but
Mrs. Lisle's tritkoce was not sufficiently sifted; site ought
to have explained mere &Missal, what she observed, and
not to be left to speak in pestershi ies. The Proiress's eon-
science acquitted her of every improper freedom. MIL

credible, that Earl Moira sent for Mr. Mills the day after
rum, Lloyd's declaration : but it will be seen by his sod
Edsneed's depusitio, what pains were taken to tamper
will. witnesses.
The weld person was Mr. Hood, now Lord Hood, who
married Miss Hammond, one of the Lattice in the Princess's
household. It is perfectly true she rode with him **ice its
his whisky without having her own servants. This was im-
mediately after the death of Ike Duke of Cdoucester, and
while he lay unburied. She wear out is the whisky for air;
bat wished out to he seen with a retinae of servants while
his Royal highness lay unburied.
The next person. imputed to her were Mr. Chester sod
Captain Moore. By Mrs. Lisle's evidence it is said, that
Mr. Julia Chester was iavited by her special order. N...,
Instead of this, he was oily one of several invited. She bre.
ged of Lady Sheffield that every thing of the name of North,
all the Legges, all the Cheaters, awl Mr. Elliot, should he
invited. All about the candle, and being found in the gal-
lery, would have been explained if Lady Sheffield had been
examined. It is most likely that the might have walked
with Mr. John Chester, but what was there iu all this that
she ought to be called on to answer?
As to Captain Alloore, Mrs. Lisle had borrowed a book
from him. Her mother, the Duchess of Brunswick, was
fund of the Fite Dr. Moore's 'tritium and the Captain lent
theist • MS of hie late father, in return for which she made
him a triHieg present.

.
As to the anonymous papers marked A. B.C. she sialtanly
denied all knowledge of them. They were submitted to
Mrs. Fitzgerald, together with the seal—she denied that
they were the handwriting of the Princess, or that the seal
was hers, and yel this was not contained is her examination.
The Prioress concludes her defence with some few obser-
vations on the Report of the Commissioners. There were
great omissions in it. She was desirous that it should be
opened up again ; but she deprecated secret tribu-
nals. Against false charges of friends tuned enemies—
of servants; who seemed traitors and spies, sad the
foul conspiracy of social and domestic treason, she
could look to no security for her honour hut to 11w princi-
ple of justice, which constantly actuated the conduct of his
Majesty. For a Princess of Wales to have betel placed in
a situation, in which it was essential to her honour to re.
quest a gentleman to swear that he was Rot locked up in •
room with her alone; and another, that he did not give her
a lacivioss salute, sod never slept in her honor, is to have
been actually degraded and disgraced. " 1 have been, Sire,"
aid the Princess, " placed in this situation. Could I for-
bear to announce a conspiracy against my liononr and sta-
tion io the cuswitry? At all events, I trust you will restore
me to your gracious presence, ad confirm to me, by your
gracious words, your satisfactory couvict ion of my innocence.

are most calculated to excite angry feelings among
the contending parties, that we may entertain a
confident hope of seeing it accompanied with re-
sults no less beneficial to the people of Napless
than have arisen in Spain from similar causes. The
letters received in Paris would, however, insinuate
that the people of Naples either feel no direct
interest in the recent occurrences, or are indis-
posed to concur iu them, " remembering," as one
of the writers alleges, " that agriculture sad com-
merce flourished snider the fanner Government,
that the finances of the State were administered with
economy, and that there existed a well-grounded
hope of the diminution of the taxes, and doubt-
ing whether the benefits which are promised
by the recent revolution will indemnify the na•
tion for the positive good which she enjoyed."
Such is the tone in which the partisans of eats.
Wished abuses will of course ever speak of ■ay re-
form, however necessary and advantageous, and it
must be remembered that in sach like periods was
the late revolution in Spain deplored by those
whose personal interests were injured by the event,
at the very moment when the great body of the
nation was exulting in the change, and the KING
himself was justifying the language of his people's
triumph, by reciting the evils which under the
former system had oppressed the country. A
revolution, it must be admitted, is always an
evil, because it relaxes for the moment the bonds
of society, and exposes a Country to at least
the chance of suffering very great calamities; but
when a propitious moment arrives for throwing off
an oppressive tyranny, if any people should hesi-
tate to take advantage of the occasion, from some
general and indefinite apprehensions of some pos-
sible and contingent calamities, we can only wish
them joy of the security they so dearly purchase,
and pronounce them unworthy of the blessing of
freedom. The examples, however, of Spill and of
Naples, even if the great, lesson of English- history
were forgotten, prove that a revolution, if judiciously
conducted in accordance with the feelings of the
great body of the people, may become an absolute
good, and bring a blessiug, not upon the people only,
but even upon the Chief Magistrate of the nation
himself. Let any Monarch compare the present situa-
tion of the King of SPAIN, respected and loved by
his people, with his condition before the revolution,
and if his mind be capable of entertaining correct
notion+, upon what constitutes individual happiness,
lie would not hesitate to prefer FERDINAND'S pre-
sent situation; with e►en his limited power, to his
former-state of being, although nominally possess-
ed of milimited authority.

ignorance, or designed to be palmed upon them ;
even the peculiarities of the various dialects of
Italy cannot fail of being known to many of
them. But there is undoubtedly one tircuin.
stance, arising from the witnesses being foreigners,
which must militate considerably against her
MAJESTY—we allude to the impossibility of their
being cross-examined at the bar with the ►ame
advatitages towards the discovery of truth as must
have been derived from cross-examination had the
witnesses been natives of this country. Every one
iii any degree acquainted with the practice at our
Airi P►ias trials, must have seen many instances
of the surprising effects produced upon an unwil.
ling, an ignorant, or a tirade-rrp witness, by the
rapidity of the questions, the manner and the tone
of voice of the Counsel, and by the ■se and appli-
cation, in certain instances, of a peculiar mode of
expression. A judicious cross-examiner will esta-
blish a kind of mental intercourse with the witness,
which will express itself in a thousand ways, inde-
pendent of the mere act of speaking ; he will by
the perplexing subtlety, variety, and quickness of
his questions, deprive falsehood, however ingenious,
of that retreat which the caution and reserve neces-
sarily attendant mum an examination carried on
through the medium of an interpreter mast secure
to it. Time, in the first instance, is Rivet' to the
witness to consider of his answer ; should be coin•
mit himself, he has the power subsequently of
pleading a misconception of the question or of the
answer, or an incorrect version of either, and he
thus obtains the means of effectually altering the
purport of his first answer ; the examiner, too,
must frame his questions wit► sore reserve...he
cannot vary them with so mach facility, and intro-
duce unimportant topics with ■n apparent indifer•
ence, for the purpose of throwing the witness off
his guard with reference to the main object. The
greater part of the under-play which coustantly
takes place with such wonderful effect in our Cour, s
of Law, would sound extremely ►id►culous if it were
seriously to undergo the process of tran‘lation, and
of being twice 'repeated, and a consciousness of this
circumstance must, no doubt, prevent any of her
MAJESTY'S Counsel from indulging in it.
We are inclined to believe that no part of the
evidence produced at the bar of the House of Lords
against the Quegn will be allowed to go forth is
the public until the entire proceeding shall hare
terminated. Many seem to think that the public
will he excluded altogether from the House of
Lords during the continnance of the proceedings
against her MAJESTY, at lenst during the receiving
of the evidence. It is her MAJESTY'S wish that the
proceedings should, in every shape, be as public
as possible, yet we cannot but think that it must
work some injury ,to her MAJESTY, should the
charges against her he permitted to go forth until
