so sacred a duty ? Fee this were the obvieve
suggestions of justice, ar4 even the express east

whom ? By no less a person than Mr. Powsit.L,
who had shored in the boomers of the Milan Cornmio.
Ilion, who now worthily endures his portion of the
odium that belongs to that tribunal, end who, de-
scroding from his dignity of a Commissioner, and
forgetting the maxims of propriety and delicacy, has
appeared every day in the House of Lords since the
commei.cernent of the trial, filling the humbler but
nut lets cmilidential office of assisting to the Solicitor
for the 8011, and occasionally prompting his Learned
Friends, his MAJESTY'. ATTORNEY and SOLICITOII-
- ! Lord Livearoot., feeling the impro-
priety of ItAsTELut's absence. anxiously disclaimed
all participation in rousing him to be sent out
1. this country. A like disclaimer was made by
the Law Officers of the Crown, and by Mr.
MAU LE. the Solicitor of the Treasury, and the
10ED CHANCELLOR very warmly censused the
pre- ption of the individual who had dared
to violate the commands of the House; bat it is
likely that Mr. l'owllLt. was better aware of the
convenience of having RASTELLV sent out of the
any, than any other person in England, for Mr.
POWELL was, we understand, the Most active of
the Commissioners rat Milan, and VASTELLI was
our r•l•the most active of their agents.
The absence of RASTEI.I.I. by interrupting the
defence of tlw QUEEN in the order proposed by
her MAJESTY'S Counsel, cannot fail to operate to
her dli•adrnntage. It is not probable that RAs-
TELL' sill ever return to England. for he no
doubt hiss ere this boomed that the Etigli.la laws
den were penalties against persons con-
witted of subornation of perjury. The LORD
CH A NCEL LoR admitted that an injury was dune
to her MAJESTY by the abstraction of RASTELLI,
said it was on this account that Lord CARNAavott
moved that 1‘ the House do adjourn till this day
six months." It was sugtcested that her MAJESTY
might sustain a deeper injury if her Connor-I were
now interrupted in the midst of their defence; but
in this we find it impossible to concur. We see no
stain remaining upon her MAJESTY'. •character

ATTORNEY•GS:N EISA L that could raise a suspicion
of crimionlily has been most satisfacto►ily re-
fiord or explained. Should the present proceed-
ings therefore be further continued, the ob-
ject proposed cannot he exclusively the vindi-
cation or her MAJESTY'S fame. On the other
kind, the ion-rests of the country demand the
termination of a trial which has agitated and alarm-
ed the ptiblic mind, end has unfortunately shaken
the confidence and respect with which it is desirable
that the people should ever regard the depositaries
of power. The rejection of the Bill by the House
of Lords sin for ever dose the month of calumny,
:mat contribute to heal the sound that the insti-
tution of this ill-tamed proceeding has inflicted
est the charnetrr and constitution of the country.
The Earl of CA RN AEYON did not persist in his
motion, but when the (louse adjourned yesterday,
about tire °clock, it was utederstood that when
tln•sr 1.01.4111110 i should reassemble this morning
the Counsel fur the QUEEN should be asked, " wise-
ther it would in their • Is be injurious to her
MAJESTY'S defence nut to be enabled to examine
RAsTELLI at the present moment." The Loup
CHANCELLOR ',junk'', and the evident sense of
the House, have already supplied the answer.
It mug he injurious to her MAJESTY; end Mr.
lisouuttam's answer being necessarily in the ate-
genre, Lord CAEN SIMON will then be driven to
snake his motion for " ridding the country," in
his own emphatic words, " of the evil of this horrid
proceeding."
