Lord PA !Mourn here wished to know from the
Counsel how long the cress-examiliation would I.st,
and if it would be soon done? It was necessary
to keep to a peremptory time. On the faith of the
order of yesterday fur concluding at four o'cle,clt,
he had mode private engagements, which he wish.
ed to be able to fulfil.
Mr. Brougham said, that he before informed the
House that lie could not answer fur the length of
the cross-exemitialion.—/" fee on : go oo!")
Lord FALMOUTH weld, that there should be some
time fixed and no departure allowed from it.
The Earl of DOMOUGHMORE reminded their
Lordship*, that they had yesterday made a rule to
regulate three proceedings, to which he exhorted
them to adhere. If he thought that there was any
likelihood of eliciting important facts of evidence,
by prolonging the time, that indeed might be a
realms; for allowing the exasMinition to proceed.
But nothing which had been done by the Leareed
Counsel could give them the least view as to the
tune it would take to finish the examination. He
thought that witnesses were eutilleil• to some pro.
tection from the House; and some parts of the ex.
emitiation which had just taken place ought have
bees, well spared. He moved, that the House
should immediately adjourn.
Earl GREY protested against such opinions and
observations as those which had just been stated.
Doubtless witnesses were entitled to protection, and
it would not be withheld when needed. But there
had been nothing put in cross-examination impro.
per, except as to certain express• which had been
corrected by the Noble Lord on the Woolsack.
As to the rule of yesterday. to limit the time
of proceeding to tour o'clock, he then said
that it would be found both abound and incon.
renient. The most critical part of a cross-exami-
nation might be broken in upon, end the whole
effect of it lost by enforcing the rule. Whatever
Humber of hours were adopted, it should be with
the understanding that tie important cross-examine-
tinu should be suddenly put an end to, in order to
adjourn the House. His Lordship reminded them
of the iocoltrestience of adjourning the examina-
tion in chief yesterday, in conformity with their
new rule ; whereas, had they continued sitting
till five o'clock, it needed not have occupied the
time it took up this morning. He thought that the
House ought to devote a greater number of hours,
rind sit till five each day, instead of four o'clock.
Otherwise, instesd of tix weeks, it would he im-
possible to assign the period of these proceeding..
The LORD CHANCELLOR admitted the import.
ance of not interrupting a cross-eiaminetion, but

lie would relate the reasons why he was anxious or
this particular occesion fur the House to adjourn.
It hid been his duty this moroiii to consult with
the Judges of the land on • point affecting the
Isle or death of an individual. 'floe hid made him
rather liter than until, so that he did out enter the
House till ten minutes tater ten 'o'clock. Trustmg
to the orders of yesterday lie had appointed to
inert the Judge. again at this time ; and am
that grotord, coupled with the importance of
the affair, he 'slaked to be able to meet them.
As to the protection of witsresve‘, be hoped that he
should never fail so much in leis duly as to neglect
to interfere when there was occasion. 13iit except
in • few terms dropped by the Learned Counsel,
which he himself would be the first to retract at
any other tone. nothing had occurred which called
for his interference. They moat give r Counsel

Questions apparently of nu importance to-day
might become of great importance in the next

This the Counsel were able to appreciate much
better than their Lordships could, and nu Coua.sel
would weal to waste the tine of the House by put-
ting questions, except he deemed them neccantry

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY. Auoure 23. IBM

The public will read the continued reanimation
and the cruse-examination of the formidable Totes-
Dose MEOccHt, as they occurred yesterday in the
House of Lords, with astonishment. This discard-
ed servant of the QUOIN was tile very head and
front of the proceedings against his Royal Mistress,
and he war, slo doubt, brought f.,rwaril as the first
witness, for the purpose of making • great awl
decided impression, by confirming et once, as it
Wei hoped, the tremendous statement of the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL. Bet whit is the result?
The fellow has already explained away the great-
est amid tuost important part of the charge; his
breath alone bus in one day &evolved t..e in-
ge ss i•• us fabric which it required weeks. and
mouths, and years, to met, of which no doubt he
was I self one of the proncipill archilects, as he
was also the most powerful support. Even in his
direct testimony he 'lid not succeed in establishing
any one of the main facts, although he was very
much assisted, we do not say intentionally, by the
manne► in "Inds the SoLiciToR.GUIZRAL pro•
posed the questions. The examination consisted
throughout of what are technically called "leading
questions," and the fellow answered them with the
mu►t suspicious fluency. The ATToRNtY•GENT-
RAs. had, towards the close of hie atateu►eut, allege
ed a circumstance in proof of the Queen's de-
praved habit of mind, which must have disgusted
and shocked every one who either heard or read it;
there was no reserve, no delicacy of expreeriou on
the part of the Learned Gentlemen in Plating
it. But whet must have been the feelings of the
House of Lord.' yesterday, whets it came out that
this revolting exhibition displayed in the Queen's
presence, and by her MAJESTY'S commoml, was
nothing more nor less than the performance of a
kind of dance common throughout all the eastern
countries P—a species of fandango, to which we
doubt not the people of the East are as partial as
the Spaniards nototiously ■re to what they consider
their motional dance. The fandango is not only
witnessed but practised in Spain by persons of
every class, sod although to the unpractised eyes
I of Englislitness the dauce might seem to be inde-
licate, the Spaniards, who are accustomed to it,
never suffer any improper associations to be formed
in their minds from witnessing it. The Quasi
must in the course of her travels in the East hove
learned that there was a favourite national dance,
and might very naturally and very innocently have
expressed a desire to see it exhibited. It is pro-
inside that alanourr wit a celebrated dancer, and
that he was in consequence selected for the honour
of appearing before the PetEctSS. So much fur
the allegation in the ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S state-
ment, which imputed the very worst charge to her
MAJUTY, vs it implied so totter a depravity of
mind as might justify the world iu entertaining
opinions the most injurious to her MAJUTT'S
morals and character !

The uniform contiguity of BUDA II I'S chamber
to that of the PRINCESS in every place where her
Royal Highness resided. was reiterated by the
ATTORNILY-t; RN ERA L iu his statement, as a cit..
cunistance which principally went to establish the
existence of a criminal intercourse, and THEODORE
was no doubt expi cted to establish the fact.
THEODORE did indeed affirm the statement most
positively, but be also admitted that he was not
aware whether the chambers of her Royal High-
ness's other domestics were nut as contiguous to
her apartment at was that of DEROANII ; and
lore the public must remark the duplicity of the
accusation made against her MAJESTY by her Ita-
lian servant ; fur true undoubtedly it was that
Bantus:Vs apartment was near that of the Priu•
testi, but equally true nos it also that her other
servants occupied tontiguous chambers. It seems
that un one uccasion BERGAMI took the extraordi-
nary liberty of putting his arms round his royal
Mistress—for the purpose of placing her upon an
ass, and while the Princess was riding he held her
hand—to prevent her from falling ! If this species
of familiarity be ciiminal, how many ladies who
frequent some of our fashionable watering-places
must be deeply guilty ! There are, we believe, but
few of the Lords now sitting in judgment whose fs-
'lndies have not been equally polluted by the guilty
care of a faithful servant watching over the safety
of his Lady. These puiuts will chew the danger
of reposing with easy creduliiy in the crude state.
silents of discarded servant+. The violence of their
presumptions, the rashness of their conclusions,
and the general want of precision and accuracy
that mark the observations of such persons, are
sure to be exposed on the first moment of close in-
quiry. When the witne,s was cross-examined he
could give no satisfactory- explamition of any thing;
he knew nothing, lie remembered nothing, and it
is very- singular that lie should have ventured to de.
scribe the uniform habits of his Mistress daring a
voyage at sea, which her Royal Highness prated in •
tent upon deck, while he the pretended witness of her
conduct lay fur the most part of the time sprawling
in the hold, in all the belles inanition of sea-sick-
nest. It wou'd be Wier., to review hit evidence at

,

length, but the general character of it will he en%
lected from the fie obsercitirms we !we thus
thrown oat. We know not what tither witneoes the
ATTOIN ILY• QIN gRA may till to torroboruie
Timm:ma's testimony, but it they boar .41 te•
semblance to their leader we should suggest to the
Learned Gentleman the expediency of ierunna•ivg
his case immediately. A thousand TitEonoax'S
will not be sufficient to substantiate the opening
statement.

The Treasury P affect to lnlieve that the
QUESN w4s surprised by the appearance of Tit O-
DORS MEOCCIII at the ber of the House of
Lord. on Monday. We say olny affect to he-
hero it. because we are well tonvinced that they
knots the contrary. The name of Tilsonoas M roc-
CHI was announced some time since in the Paris
Papers to all the world as one of the principal wit-
nesses spinet the QUEEN, mid the account was
transcribed in all the English Newspapers. Is it
then p.obrible that her IVlA.livflr alone should be
ignorant of the circumstance ? But in (*I Ibis

THEODORE was well known to have been the prin-
cipal personage in devising and planning the prose-
cution against his Mistress. In an article dated
Vienna, July 26, it is stated, " Many of the ha.
liau witnesses against the Queen of ENGLAND have
beers here with Lord S•rewsatr, Lied C•rme-
as•anbg brother. Among them is one nun-
CHI and his wife, and two children. These wit-
ni Nei OM well paid; MBOCCIII has ten franca a day,
his wife Ave, and each of his children four, be-
sides an allowance of 150 fr4i.e. a month for dirt
part of his family which he left at Coto°, and which
is paid by the English Government."

About twelve o'clock 3 esterday the Quint arrived
at the Ileuse of Lords, and after passing some time
in her private apartment, entered the body of the
House. The Lords all rose and made their obei.
sauces as her MAJUTY passed to her usual seat
within the bar.
In the course of the cro►s•examination, the in•
terpreter said the witness, Theodore, was frighten-
ed, and that he found it impossible to beat any
thing into his head.

Hamburg!' ■nd Dutch Mails have arrived, but
bring no intelligence of much interest. M. ELOIJT,
the Dutch Envoy to the Court of London upon the
subject of the Indian affair►, has returned to the
Hague. The account of the condo:ion of a
treaty of peace between the PORTE ■ud A tat
Paces is not confirmed ; on the contrary, it is said
that some actions have been fought, in which A Lt's
troops, commanded by hill son and his nephew,
have been defeated. Reinforcements of troops and
artillery continue to be ►ent to the Turkish army
■t Salonichi. The operations of the land forces are
supported by a strong squadron of twelve ships of
war, besides several gun-boats.

We hove received Paris Papers of Fiiday and
Saturday last. Although tranquillity has been
restored at Palermo, it is not yet ascertained whe-
ther the people will conform themselves to the pen.
litical change that has been effected in Naples. A
deputation has been rent from Palermo to the
KING, and the latest ■dc.ces from Naples state.
that the *easel conveying the perrosis who compose
it lied just appeared off the harbour of that city.
It Will conjectured that the object of the deputation
isms to denials(' the restoration of ti-.e ancient Coo-
vitalism of Sicily. The uncertainty of what the
future rel•tiotts might be between Naples and
Sicily was such, that the Sicilian Nobler who had
surrendered themselves es hostages to the Prince
Vicar-General, still continue priruners in the Coolie
of San-Elmo, while she troops who had surren-
dered at Palermo were still treated by the Sicilians
as prisoners of war. A propmal, it is said, was
intended to be made for an exchange of prisoners.
