was such, that he sent the Mate to another part of the ship, in

cuinstances. could never be disappointed. Those witnesses were
well drilled too—they were models of the art of drilling—crack
men. They were paid and drilled to perfection ; but happily
there were limits to that art, or God help the innocent I
The Learned Counsel next directed the attention of their
Lordships to the evidence of Mademoiselle De Mont. Taking
her character from herself, she was the most perfect specimen,
most compleie model of a waiting maid that the world had pet
haps ever seen. He lied heard her praised for great ingenuous.
ness, in confessing that some things she had said were true, and
others not; that sometimes, she really meant what she said,
and others only spoke in doable vitt:mares ; and. doubtless, if it
was any merit in a witness to coifed that nobody could tell when
to believe her, she was the most in ions liar be had ever
known.—The Learned Counsel proceeded to expose, with great
ability, the contradictions in Dumont.* evidence, which were
rush, he contended, as rendered the whole of her evidence ut-
terly unworthy of credit. The next witness who claimed their
attention was Sacchi. The estimation in which this man was
held by the Patrons of the Bill was a pleasing proof of the im.
proved spirit of the age. The time was, when the fact of being
an Italian Hussar in the Preach service, who had been promoted
by that Corsican Usurper and Tyrant, Bonaparte, from the ranks
to the dignity of an Officer. would have been enough to make a
man regarded in this country as a being of the very worst descrip-
tion. But now, because this man was to be a witness against the
Queen nothing forsooth was heard of but his services and his
respectability. The Learned Counsel was far from approving of
the opinion formerly entertained as to adventurers of the French
army; but this much he would say, that there was nothing in
being raised to bean Officer from the ranks on the field of haute,
which could give any man, and that man an Italian, any greater
claim to be believed than lie might otherwise have. The contra.
diction* and incredibilities in his evidence were innumerable.
The Learned Counsel alluded particularly to the incident of the
carriage, and intimated that he would prove, that though Sacchi
had sworn he did not remember whether there was any other
person in the carriage than the Princess and Bergami; there was
another person in it.
Mr. Brougham was next proceeding to the evidence of Barbara
Kress, when the hour of four having arrived, Earl GHIiY
moved, that the House do now adjourn.—Adjourned.

SECOND DAY OF THE DEFENCE.

W CON EWA Y, OCT. 6.
At five minutes before ten o'clock this morning, the Lord
Cis omen''r entered the House, and prayers were real.
Lords Pointothy and Scarburongii were excused on ac-
count of illness.
A person (Coin the Treasury presented copies of all the
communications which had passed between his Majesty's
Government and the Queen since the month of June lust,
together with accounts of the sums of money advanced by
Government to her hlajesty.—Ordered to lie ton the table.
Counsel were then called hi, amid Mr. Brougham imme-
diately renamed his address.

MR. 111/OUGIIAM IN CONTINUATION.

ces possessed and exercised by thews who bad to conduct
prosecution, there yet was a deficiency so remarkable
in one important respect, as to strike every hearer upon
the production of the witnesses. He meaut the extra-
ordinary want of talent, as to the evidence sekcted to
support the case. Itnfact, then, the Alps were crossed; but
our witness was to be found; and all She charges were
to be supported by a single nymph. Was it nut extraordi-
nary that from the Capital out one appeared—that nut a
single delegate came from her Majesty's biding-place, and
least of all, from the place of her nativity. All that appeared
against her on this side the Alps, was but a chambermaid or
cellar-maid—the German representative. Al. the witnesses
were Italian, with the exception of this one and u Swiss
maid. He begged pardon there were two exceptions of sit
important kind, but they were his witnesses, and with them
he should open his case. He should now go on with the
German witness's evidence, upon which he bad teen so kindly
interrupt, d by their Lordships, and here, as formerly, lie
would have recourse to the aerimat given by the witness of
herself; for indeed she had spoken as if she felt the
utmost anxiety to establish an imputation against herself
Barbara Kresge appeared, by her own account before their
Lordships, in the respectable unexposed character of chain
bermaid at a German inn. Fro n tile earliest age at which
she was capable she had appeared in that situation at the
age of thirteen years. In what situations she served after-
wards was nut easily discovered, but her own account of the
matter removed the difficulty. She said herself that site
became servant to a Mr. Madden, but she wished to sink the
nature of the service, or the employment of her master;
it however, afterwards came out, that all the places at which
she had served, since the age of thirteen, except one,
were ions.—Suun after she let their Lordships a title more
into the nature of her fortuities, and first she related by wnat
means she became induced to g.ve her evidence. Ile would
call the attention of their Lordships to the contradictory
accowits given by Kresge of her motives for coming over to
give bee evidence. Twice had she sworn that site would not
have come had she not been forced. She then ackoowledged
h lying received a compensation for loss of time. Will any
one of your Lordships believe this win tttttt when she thus
attempts to deny what she had received; when the sum
was so tar beyond her ordinary compel's:okm, as must have
impressed the recollection of a upon her memory I—When
the same witness, after stating that she had Seel' the Queen
come out of her room, denies that she went into time room of
Madame Oldi from motives of curiosity, she is as little eutilled
to credit. The fart was, it was Madasne Oldi told not the
Queen, that she had sera. She was not curtain; and she
went into Nludaine Oldi's room to ascertain' who it tams and
there sae found only Madame Old,. It was necessary to her
purpose that she should deity going to Madame Oldi's room
fur the purpose, because her going there proved she was not
previously certain as to the person she bad seen. The mere-
cy which all these witnesses had observed with regard to the
facts they pretended, eyrie swine to have seen, was remark-
able. The boatman met Milan on being asked if he had ever
mentioned what he had seen, said yes, once at Milan, before
the Commission. It was so with Itastelli, who swore to that
, filthy practice which the (beta bad been guilty of is the fats
