evidence which has been collected. It is simply
upon thin tweeting and indispensable frequency of
intercourse between the Princess and her Chamber-
lain, aided by the unavoidable circumstance, of a
voyage, and the differences of foreign manners from
our own, that the action of ndolterous intercourse
has been foisted on the British public, and that it
lass been attempted to drag our beloved Queen from
her throne. When 1 say this is the winde sum sod

All they said would be struck out of the minutes

impartial and Christian-like inferences and, Ergo-

them change their form as often as Protein. we will
follow, and with a few words defeat them. To pass
over the various points wherever they acknowledge
defeat, we will regard the positions only where they
yet pretrial to maintain their ground. The Chain-
berlsiiii is proved to have bees, trying the tempera-
tine of the bath. It was his duty ;it is the custom
on the Continent for mess to prepare the baths
even for Ladies. He freqnently attended los
mistress in her bed-room; it is the costing' on
the Continent foe Ladies to receive their trades-
men. domestic servasits, and indeed any men who
are not formal visitors, in their fled-rooms. The
Queen and her Chamberlain reclined on aofar, or
couches, in each other's presenee. Whit were tot-y

Holy Allies, have hero in their vocation. if they
could not patch something colourable out of the
vicissitudes of a sea-voyage, particularly where 40
persons were packed together in a crazy little ves-

cabin-door was open, and her Chsotberlain's cabin-
door was at the same time open, they might see each
other across the passage; or. as a witness said," the
beds might see each other." Wonderful died

thine ladies who have been compelled to make
voyages in merchant vessels, where the contiguity
of their sleeping places to that of some man or
men was closer and more occluded than the cabins
in the polacre, if the opportunity of committing a
crime is to be received as a proof that the crime
has been committed ?—(opplauee.)—But it can-
not be denied that the cabin was not adapted for
an intrigue, if such had been the object. Hap-
pily, however, fur the removal of all suspicions on
this account, the Queen left this suspicious sejorr,
and lived altogether upon deck, where every one
who choose might see what the was doing at ally
time of the slay or night. Surely this change would
relieve her from the pursuit of inferences and pre-
tended suspicions No ; this removal was caught
an with snore avidity than all the rest put together.
