examined in London before he same to the place in which he
now was, but he was not sworn.
Examined by Earl Grey.... There were sometime ln or 11
on the deck during the night ; in bad weather all of them were
there. They walked backwards and forwards: the tent occupied
about one half of the middle of the ship. One one side where the
tent was, there was a passage ; the men could pass there. They
passed the tent when the service of the ship reqvired it. There
was a place by which the parties could withdraw from the tent
without coming on deck. Other persons could see the patties
when they went to get fresh air. Theodore had a place assigned
to him below, and if he heard what took place in the tent, he
must have heard through the two tents.
The Lord thane:llor said,that as five o'clre.•.k had now arrived
he should move the adjournment of the House. Previously to
the adjournment, he wished to state that he consulted the sourc e
of information, and found that prosecutions for perjury &gains
witnesses miAlit be maintained. Adjourned.
THURSDAY, ALGUsT 24.
At ten o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat
on the Woolsack, and prayers having been read, the roll
of mimes was called user.
The Marquis Wellesley was excused on account of in-
disp osi t s.
At a quarter past ten Counsel were called in.
Lord DARNLEY a.-ked, whether the witnesses who
had been examined were suffered to associate with those
who had not ?—No answer was retained to this question.
A very long argument then took place on the subject of
the manner of swearing the foreign witnesses, hut the
Lord Chancellor hold that if swim according to our cus-
tom, and they declared they consideled it as binding it
was sufficient.

Vincenzo Gartpdlo was then called and sworn.—He had
been Captain of the vessel in which the Prillt:VSS roniled,
hot in his evidence and cross•rxionination nothing new
trans!theil. but that lie was to receive One Thouscod Dollars
per ,lhailk for his giving evidence against the Queen !
Mr. BIZOUG HA NI then ariid he had to leg their Lord-
ships to allow• hint to call hack the witness Theodore M it-
joeci. Ile wished to ask hint whether he bad been at
Bristol within the last twelve months? _

The Earl of LIIERPOOL said, it would be necessary
the Learned Counsel should state the object he had in
calling the witness bark.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, it was irregular to
call back a witness without some special reason was stated
for his re-examination. He did not, however, object to
the witness being called for the purpose stated.
Mr. BROUGHAM wedged himself he would not call
the %Rol ss again, or ask him any questions until lie re-
opened his case.
The williess was then brought to the Bar. Ile appeared
rather intimidated.
The Interpreter, addressing the House, said—He begs
to ask a favour of your Lordships, to know if they find
any thing false in his information, whether they will have
his life— take off his head ?

A cry from several Lords of " No, no !"

I never meddled aWI these discourses. Never.
How long were you in England the first time yon came

By the Solicitor General—Did yon come from Vienna

he that brought me here. He paid the fare.
By Lord F.llenborougl,.—ln speaking the Prince.,a
as a prudent woman, did the witness speak of her as his
mistress, or as the Princess of Wales?—Had I spoken
otherwise of the Princess they would have knocked me
down.—(A laugh.)
A Peer observed, on the interpretation, that be did not
understand the witness to have meant that he apprehended
being " knocked down." It was however probable that .
he bad not perfectly understood the reply.
The interpreter warmly contended for the accuracy of
his translation, upon which he was somewhat generally
interrupted by ciies of " order, order, at the liar."
Lord Ellcalborough declared that the words had not
been correctly translated by the inter. pi et er.
The interpreter replied, that Mr. Cohen, whom he had
requested to assist him with so difficult a witness. had
conon red lilt him in theaccuracy of his translation.
Lords Liverpool and Grenville said a few words, after
which,
Lord Liverpool again rose, and moved, that the House
do now adjourn; but Oh, aas received by loud cries of
" No, no " Eventually another witness was called, and
examined by the Counsel on the pat t of the proset•utiuu.
The evidence of this witness was a mere repetition of
little import.
Five o'clock having arrived, the Lord Chancellor rose,
and the House immediately adjourned.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE,

Pants, Auo. 20.—For some time past Govern-
ment has been in possession of information that
machinations were employed to induce the troops to
revolt. They were satisfied that the good spirit
which animates the French soldiers would bait: the
projects formed by certain in,at, ulways ready to
sacrifice their own honour and the repose of their
country to their pride and cupidity. The Govern-
ment watched all their proceedings. These madmen
believed that they were sufficiently powerful to
overturn the throne, and the protecting institutions
that France owes to the King. A certain number of
odleers and non commissioned officers of the corps in
garrison at Paris had been seduced. There were
some even of the Royal Guard who had suffered
themselves to be drawn into the plot.
Yesterday evening these officers agreed among
themselves to meet at the barracks, to assemble the
soldiers, to march against the palace of our Kings,
and to proclaim as sovereign some member of the
Buonapartean• family; but many of those whom
they had attempted to seduce by their pertideous pro-
posals, di 1 not hesitate to repair immediately to
their chiefs, and discover the plot which was about
to explocle. Government could delay no longer.—
Those who had taken part in this criminal conspiracy
were arrested by the gems d'armerie.
It appears that one part of the plan of the eonspi-
rators was to seize on the castle of Vincennes. A
fire, that was soon extinguished, broke out at three
o'clock in the afternoon. It is reasonable to suppose
that this was intended to create disorder, and favour
an attack.
France has a right to expect that such an attempt
will be punished in a manner that shall intimidate
all those who, forgetting their duty and their oaths,
would turn against social order those arms which
have been confided to them for its defence. Nothing
ought to be neglected that may secure the authors
and accomplices of a conspiracy, which, directed
against the Throne and the Charter, attacked at the
same time every member of the state in his dearest.
sentiments and best rights.
The most elevated tribunal, that which the Char-
ter with a salutary foresight to repress attempts
against the safety of the State, will no doubt be
called upon to sit in judgr;Nit on the greatest crime
that the law can have to punish.
Sheltered from all influence, above all sinister

suggestions, that august tribunal, bettter than any
other, will recognize innocence, and dismiss
ill-
founded suspicions, while it detects the guilty, who-
ever they may be.
The city of Paris enjoys the mast perfect tranquil
lily. The citizens have learnt, in the same moment
as existence of the plot and the arrest of its authors.
VIENNA, Avo. 6.—Tbe Court Gazette of to-day
ecntains the following article :—" We have been
requested by the Embassy of his Majesty the King
of Great Britain and to the Imperial Court to insert
in our paper the following declaration, viz.: that
the statements which are contained in an article
dated Vienna, in No. 215 of the Allgemeine Zeitaspig,
of August 2, this year, respecting several witnesses
on the trial of the Queen of England, in reference
to the British Embassy, are mere fictions and lies."
HANOVER, AUGUST 2.—Several witnesses have
through this city, who are to give evidence
E:fore the House of Lords respecting the conduct of
the Queen of England, during her last visit to Ger-
many. Letters received by the English here from
their friends at home, do not speak with the same
confidence as formerly of the peaceable issue of this
famous trial. The decision in the Upper House,
%hey say, does not seem doubtful, but its reception
in England, and the execution of any sentence are
not so certain ; the prudent and collected conduct of
the Queen since her return gains her, they say, im-
portant suffrages, and the women in particular es-
pouse her cause. The principal inhabitants arc now
gone to the watering places, but the labouring
classes are employed in the itoyal Palacvs, as the
Duke of Cambridge is expected this summer, and
we have not given up the hope of seeing the King.
VIENNA, Autiusz 9.—There is much talk here
of a confidential circular of a powerful Monarch in
the North, addressed to all the Sovereigns who
signed the Holy Alliance, to induce them to pre-
pare their contingents of troops, fbr the purpose of
opposing the revolutionary measures of demagogues
in the South of Europe.
AUGUST 12.—From one of our correspondents
at Leghorn we have received the following particu-
lars of the dreadful events at Palermo, as related by
an eye-witness who lett that city on the 19th.—
When this traveller departed, the military, after
three days' massacre, hail been entirely overpower-
ed; several hundreds lay dead on the streets, the
rest were imprisoned in the dungeon of the galley
slaves, before which the same sentinels kept guard
who had been confined there only a few days before.
Cannon, loaded with grape shot, are planted be-
fore the prima to fire oa the imprisoned soldiers at

THE NATIONAL REMSTETt.

the first signal. Three or four thousand inhabitants
of Palermo likewise lay dead in the streets.
The government, if such it can be called, was in
the hands of the various directors of trade, who
commanded the armed populace, and formed a kind
of Senate, whose despotic orders were summarily
executed by the mob under its influence, The ge-
neral cry was, " Independence, and eternal separa-
tion from Naples ! " but those who first set up this
cry bud alreauy disappeared from the stage, or, it'
any one of them sheaved himself; he was immediately
the victim of popular fury.
The heads of the Princes Cattolica and Villa Franca
(the last Minister during the Sicilian Parliament,
and both the most searous revolutionists in the
country) were fixed upon poles in the middle of the
city, and their bodies quartered and exposed in four
different streets. Many other persons, among whom
are mentioned the Commander of the Port, und, us
some affirm, Prince Palermo and Prince Couto have
likewise been murdered ; the victims of private
revenge are innumerable.
For the mere attempt to conceal three or four
officers, a man was shot, anzl his body nailed to the
door of his own house. A great many houses were
plundered, or the furniture thrown into the street
and burnt. To increase these horrors, provisions
were becoming scarce, as nothing was brought to
market in the general contusion, while thousands of
armed peasants kept pouring into the city on all
sides. It was generally believed, that in case of
famine, the soldiers in the prisons would be left to
starve.

As far as was known, the rest of the island was
tranquil, but the wish for independence and separa-
tion from Naples was general. Messina alone seemed
inclined to adopt the Constitution, if the seat of Go-
vernment were removed from Palermo to Messina.
Accounts from Palermo of the 20th are more con-
solatory. The Archbishop proceeded through the
street with the Cross, and exhorted the people to
humanity and tranquillity. It was hoped that the
latter would be gradually restored.

51 Arturo, Ave. 10 —A very interesting discus-
sion occupied the Cones during three consecutive
sittings. The Marquis de Castellar, Captain of the
Guards, had arrested M. Aguilera, an officer of the
Guards, who had published a writing against his ,
superior officers, an act which is forbidden by the mi-
litary ordinances which the Cones have put in force.
M. Aguilera addressed a complaint to the Cortes,
and the Committee who were appointed to examine
it, proposed that the Marquis de Castellar should be
prosecuted before the Tribunals as t. violator of the
Constitution and of the Liberty of the Press.
Upon this question the discussion wok place, and
it was at length carried in the affirmative, by 104
votes against 47—the Cortes thus declaring that the
soldiers might henceforth publish what they pleased
respecting their Chiefs.

THE QUEEN.

The following communication is from a most re-
spectable clergyman, who has performed divine ser-
vice in her Majesty's household since her return to
England :
At a time when the press teems with observations
on the conduct of the Queen, it is remarkable that not
o:ie has attempted to portray her Nlejesty's most wada-
ble and strikingly serious and devout deportment it reli-
gious worship. Few have been so far privileged as to be
present on the occasion. It, however, has fallen to the
lot of the writer to have had the very high honour of
officiating before her Majesty, on the third Sunday after
her arrival in England ; and he conceives it a paramount
duty to offer to the public his unsolicited testimony of
the Queen's most exemplary and devout deportment
during the whole of our chino) service; and he wishes
to do so at this particular tulle, because, front the prox-
. yof the proceedings in the House of Lords, the
unsolicited testimony of a 'Moister of the Church of
England in her Majesty s favour will, doubtless, have
its weight with that noble House, and with every well
regulated mind throughout tile empire. He, therefore,
does not hesitate to say, that a stricter attention to di-
vine worship could not be evinced by any pers.sn, high
or low, titan was manifested by our must excellent
Queen, throughout the entire performance. All the
responses, as well as the alternate verse Olin the Psalms,
were delis ertd by her Majesty with the utmost pathos
and propriety. It wail impossible not to catch the feel-
ing of devotion front the Illustrious Personage. On
evety oecasiod whet' our venerable Rubric directed
htleeling, the Queen, conscious of the more immediate
presence of the Deity, iii.driably fell low on her knees
on the flour. not seeking, and not having, any prop to
lean on, but most diligently intent on use awful and
solefon es.ercise in which her whole heart appeared to
he engaged; nor, after the etniclusion, tiid her Majesty
rise itittil site tuad oared up a secret prayer to the Must
High fur acceptance in nis sight. lf, then, il nation is
titgoly favoured white the girat and the illustrious are
maniples of piety and virtue, Britain is truly blessed in
its present ',uteri. And, as to judge of a tree by its
Gust is the only certain method of forming a right
judgment, so it will be admitted that s behaviour so
strikingly exemplary cannot but emenate from a heart
which is the seat of purity 414c1 idaocience, boaour
