LON DON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, iszo.

The stridence for the QUEEN'S defence ass COM..
menced yesterday in the House of Lords, when the
Earl of Guit.roau, Lord GLESBERVIE, Ludy
CHARLOTTE LINDSAY, and M►. ST. LEVER gave
their testimony in behalf of her MAJESTY. it is
delightfully refreshing to the mind, after wading
through the filthy puddle of Italian perjury which
it has been our painful Jot lately to witness, at
length to meet with indiraluals of the most (Indio-
guislied rook mid highest character in our country,
testifying on behalf of their inju►ed end calum-
nistedQu ZEN, and speakipg the unsuspected words
of truth, under a moral sanction which they ere so
fully capable of appreciating. How proudly does
her MAJESTY now come forward to meet her env.
rules, and fling back olio,' their ranks the foul
calumnies with which they had toped to have over-
whelmed her ! She does trot appear at the head of
Swiss chambermaids sir German cellar-girl•, or that
class of persons in Italy whose moral character is
measured by the purses of those who may require
their convenient service, to whom the life and repu-
tation of their fellow-creatures are of equal moment,
inasmuch as both are in their ostimation of no more
value than the price of ■ stiletto or the wages of
perjury. No; her MAJESTY steps forth surround-
ed by the Nobles abet own subjects, or by foreigners
no le►s distinguished by their birth and station.
In her deleuer there is no equivocating—nothing
is left unanswered or unexplained. Whatever there
was mysterious is elucolated—whatever was charged
as cr►minal is not merely 'Jellied but refuted.
Every maze of calumny has bees explored in the
statements of her Counsel ; and we entertain flit a
shadow of doubt, that in a tlay or two we shall
save to congratulate her MAJESTY upon having
exposed to the world, in all its native deformity,
one of the vilest, and most devilish conspiracies that
lied ever been Gamed against the honour, rank,
end fortunes of any itidisidual. 'Where to place
tile Gut link of this conspiracy we pretend hot to
know, but we believe that many individual", of the
best and most honourable intentions, have been mi.
willingly induced to complete the chain, who would
start with unfeigned horror at the idea of being, en-
gaged in a plot against the QUEEN ; many such
have also breis made the iostruments of this vile
conspiracy, who are micouteiou's of the in.
justice used crime which must flaw from their
►uccess. Among these last we 'riser the uirsus.
peciirg Counsel for the Bill, who have hammed
with so much ability at the bar of the House of
Lords to rubstainutie the allegations contained in
the preamble; but with every charitable disposition
to attribete mach to their professional duty end to
their zeal as advocates, we yet cannot satisfy our
minds upon the propriety of the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL'S urging circumstances and statements,
of what lie called facts in his opening speech,
which lie had ho intention or power, as it after-
wards appeared, of substantiating by the testimouy
of witnesses. It was not ingeernous or consistent
with the confidence which is usually reposed in
the integrity and prudence of an advocate ; yet
many points are to be found in the opessirg
speech contradicted by the evidence adduced, and
Many to which the evidence bore no reference
whatever. The most remarkable of those reale-
merits made by the ATTORNEY-GENERAI,,
which he subsequently found himself unable
to prove, was that which related to the sudden
depollute of the Eirglisis Gentlemen and Ladies,
attendant upon the Princess of WALES, from her
Royal Highness. The inference drawn from ibis
very remarkable circumstance by the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL was, that these Ladies and Geutlemen
had made such nboavatioos upon the conduct of the
Princess of Watt!, as made it impossible for them,
with a due regard to their own characters, to !r-
-ipens attached to the person of her Royal Highness.
If there were say goad grounds for &swing this
inference, they aught to be Antra in evidence bat

Those, although the ATTORNEY-Gteetst.
self brought forward no evidence in support of this
important point. it has become necessary (or the
QUEEN to reamisir souse of these Gentlemen and
Ladies to disprove his allegations. The rattrorwas
malignity of her enemies is so pest, that she can-
not rest contented merely with the absence of proof
upon the other wide; her MAJttlistr, contrary to
all ordinary rules, is driven to prove a negative,
even where the burden of proof lay with her anti.
gonists. Fortunately for her MaJestir there are
sonic point. whereiu such a mode of proceeding is
possible, but there are many cases in which,
ex renew naturd, negative testimony cannot be ea-
fleeted; yet such is the principle of injustice that
actuates her MAJESTY'', enemies, that she is re.
qoired to prove that circum.tances did not occur,
which, in all probability, u-ver had any other ex.
istence than in the foul sod fertile imaginations of
her vile accusers. Whet negative proof, however.
can be stronger far the cause of the accused, than
the silence of the witnesses adduced against her ?
From the witucsaer examined yesterday, however.
we have the most ample testimony to convict the
ATToRNET-GENERAL of haeiag made 1111 erroneous
statement respecting the separation of her English
attendants from her Royal highness. Lady
CHARLOTTE LINDSAY declares, that she bird
never witnessed any improper conduct on the
part of tine Princes. of WALES—had always
seen her Royal Highness act towards BERGAMI
as became a mistress, and that BEROAMI had um. '
formly demeaned himself us a servant ought—that
her Ladyship hail left the Princess in the Suet in.
stance at Brunswick, in consequence of an under-
standing fremrd previous to their leaving Eng-
land—that she subsequently was appointed Lady
of the Bedchamber, and parted from her Royal
Highness at Leghorn, in corsequence also of a
previous arrangement. Lira GUILFORD deposes
to the c"rreciness of the Princess's demeanour,
and also to the propriety of BERGAMI.S conduct.
His Lordship also stilted his impression that
the Countess OLDI was not a person of vul.
gar manners and habits, es she was represent•
ed by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and the anti.
able and virtuous DEMONT. Lord GLIIIIIIIERYIE
deposed to matters nearly similar; and Mr. ST.
LEGER stated his unsillingness to leave the service
of her Royal Highness, but that the state •f his,
health rendered it necessary. It is useless', to repeat
their evidence, it will be found• at length in one
parliamentary report.
It is distressing to find that difficulties have been
interposed by foreign Gore 111111111 l to prevent her
MAJESTY from collecting such *linen*s es she con.
criers necessary for her defence; and by those Ge-
vertimeetii too who hove exerted all their power to
compel the attendance of such persons as might
have been found necessary for the prosecution.
The Duke of BADEN has prevented his Chamber-
lain from coming to England, although repeatedly
requested, and the Austrian Cabinet have shewn
their sentiments so clearly upon the subject of Ge-
neral Ptiso's wish to be permitted to appear as •
witness for her MAJESTY. that the General did
not conceive his commission to be safe should
he in this instance follow the impulse of his own
wishes. How miserably contemptible must the
Grand Duke of BADEN and time Austrian Ca.
'inset appear in the ryes of the world ! They
degiade themselves without enjoying even the
iniierable gratification of conferring a favour by their
debestment, for we readily acquit the British
Ministers of even entertainino a wish that these
Governments should court their" favour by memos
so despicable and so dishonourable.

The Revolution of Portugal has been completed by the
declaration of the troops in Lisbon in f of the proceed..
logs is Oporto. The Jorrwel del Dteate of Monday last
contains a copy of a private letter from Iran, dated the 26th
of September, which statea, that oft the I6th of that
monah, about four o'clock in the afirraaiu,. the Captain of
the 7th company of the 16th regiment of Portnentoe infan-
try, forming pail of the garrison of Lisbon, harangued his
soldiers, and invited th►m to disclaim the anthutity of the
Regency. The men instantly rushed oat of their barracks,.
having their officers at their head, and formed on the square
Rorio, where they were quickly joined by almost all the
other troops in Lisboa, iufsutry, artillery, marines, and mi-
litia, and all expressed sentiments similar to those enter-
tained by the troop' of Oporto.
The efforts of the Regency in control this spirit were inef-
fectual, and they were compelled to yield to its indorser. A
new Regency was immediately appointed, consisting of men
wbo possess the cou6dence of the nation. FRIMIIIt, the
Count do SAN-P•To, the Count dc Rntwus, the Count de
PFGIIATIFL, Lieut.-General MAuTtasJosern-Mtas Aetna,
and BIRUNCAMF. The nomination of this last individual
sounded ill in the ears of the people, who doubted whether
it was the father or wan, but on its being known that it was
the son wbo was proposed, the people approved the amnion.
