and dignified company. She was charged with basing
associated sometimes with the nobility of Italy, and some-
times obit the commonalty. But who brought that charge
against her Others might have brought it, but surely
their Lordships should not. They were the last persons
who Amid !solve presumed to do so, for they presumed to
judge her, and they were the witnesses who were to vin-
dicate her. While she was in this comitrv, she courteously
opened her doors to their Lordships' families, and gra-
ciously condescended to receive them. As long as it
suited particulars views and interest, her doors were
crowded; but when other views and interests interfered
—when the lust of power stud place broke In—her doors
.were opened in vain, and she watecompelled to the alter.
native of submitting to the neglect, or leaving a country
to which she had been treated contemptuously. Site
adopted the latter as the most tolerable of the evils. Ia
the midst of all Move afflicting circumstances sloe hid one
%option t—the unolioninislted love and dutiful respect of
titer beloved timighter!—An event was about to take
place, at which all England were looking with anxiety—
the projected alliance. Europe had heard it announced.
Tile only person to whom it was not announced was the
mother of the bride; and all that had been done to deserve
this neglect was the establishment, by the evidence against
her, that she wan not guilty. A prospect now appeared
of giving additional stability to the royal family. 'The
whole of the period passed withotit any communication
between the daughter and the mother; and, if the Prin-
cess's •wn feelings had prompted her to open one, it
would only have subjected her to a snuggle between
power and authority on the one hand, and affection and
duty on the other. When that event occurred which
ipienged all England into the most heartfelt grief, and
ben all Europe sympathized in that event, it was coin-
, ehmficated to every Conrt with which we had an alliance,
and to many with which we had nu alliance. The person,
of all the world, who had the; deepest interest In that me-
lancholy event, whose feelings were most overwhelmed by
it, was left to be stunned and overwheisned still more, by
learning it accidentally! She learnt it from a courier
who was going with intelligence to that most faithful ally
the Pupa! But if the Princess bad not heard it, she
Would soon have felt it; for the death of the Priiicess
Charlotte announced to the afflicted mother, the Milan
Commission, and the commencement of proceedings
against her. It has been the lot of the Princess of Wales
to lose her surest stay and best protection when dangers
most thickened around her, and scarcely one of her de-
fenders was left; andit has been the signal for new per-
secution. Mr. Pitt was her early defender; he died in
1806, and a very few weeks after. the enquiry into the
low than new attacks were made upon her. Mr. Whit-
bread then undertook her defence; and when that catas-
trophe happened, which was deplored by all ranks and
parties, then commenced the distant grumbling of the
storm, for it did not dare to approach her Royal High-
ness, as the Princess Charlotte was then living—and men
worship the rising anti 1 Bnt no sootier was the daughter
dead, than the Milan Commission commenced its pro-
ceedings against the mother. Aunt the day—the very day
—which sew the venerable remains of a revered Sovereign
consigned to the tomb—that Sovereign, who, front her
first arrival in this country, had been her constant and
steady defender, that same sun ushered the ring-leader of
the perjured witnesses into the palace of his successor.
The learned gentleman, after expressing his regret that
leer Majesty had not in him the able defender by which
she had formerly been supported, proceeded to direct the
attention of their Lordships to the opening speech of the
Atturnry-General, and to chew how it had faded in being
supported by evidence.—'the Attorney-General's speech
was not a hasty production; it was from a transcript
which he had before him, and he would leave their Lord-
ships to judge how that transcript had been prepared.
He gave his teamed tiiend credit tor his sincerity, when
he declared that, eonscientiously, he omild not state any-
thing but what he most sincerely believed himself able to
prove by evidence. He had told their Lordships what lie
had got from the months of his e itnesses, but who were
(Iris en front their assertions in the course of their exami-
nation. He would now select a few examines uf the
asset lions of the Attorney-General, and the evidence of
one or two of the leading witnesses, which would bile*
the valet. of that evidence. The learned gentlemen ham
said, in his opening speech, that he Wlllllll bring et idencc
to prove the improper conduct of the. Queen almost up to
(be present time. But what is tee fact ? Why, that the
es Writer conies Up to the present time, all but about thi v e

The lea:lied gentlentati acid, he would prove by marks in
the bed of lit ugenii, that two persons slept in it ; that the
Queen went tutu lieu room in the night ; and that,

They had forgot that other persons, n eluding she ninnies Col.
Brown, had also been black-balled there. The Attorney.
General had asked, with powerful emphasis, and becoming
horror, who ever heard of a Royal Urincess-.the wife of the
heir apparent—going to a masked ball in disguise? (Much
laughing.) Why did she not go in her own state coach, with
all her retinue and attendants, instead of going be a carriage
without even the royal anus on it. and passing through a
back dour in the garden? lie (Mr. Brougham) wondered

aggravated crime of going to a mitequerade in is domino I—

;nation, but those o itnesses, when under examittation, had
firs tunately recollected what warn false and forgot what was

sti ucted to state that the Princess hail gone to the theatre
in a dress so very indecent, that she was homed from it by
the audience. The witness to support this assertion, said
that the Priticese was its sit ugly 41reol, in disguise. Mee
strange as it might appear to his I.earned Friends, permits at

to prove this, denied it. The Attorney-General bad said,
that Majocelsi heard the Princess in Bergami'v room, sad
that they were kissing each other; but Majocchi only' says
they were whispering. In the same opening speech, he had
stated that Sacchi one night, not finding &roma in his

strongly as possible, by saying he does not recollect anything
of the circumstance; and yet this wits not for want of exa-
mination, for the Solicitor-6E911.ml had exansinid him very
closely. The next was the s andalous scene at the Boniest,
which the Attunwy-General lied painted more like a brothel
than a palace ; but there was no evidence to support it.--
In Naples and Sicily, their Lordships had beets told that the
coilduct of the Queen had shocked all the Nobility, and
that none doubted of her improper connection with a menial,
but of this there was no proof.—With respect to visiting with
the Nubility, he would admit that the Prioress had, froth
motive which he would not pretend to inquire into, been
treated with the same neglect anti abandonment, as some per.
was had, from motives which he well knew, treated her
l with here. But abets the Attorney-Geueral stated her
Royal Highness to have been abandoned by the whole of her
English suite. be bad forgot that Lady Charlotte Lindsay
joined her at Naples. Was it inn singulat, said the Learned
Gentlemen, that this Lady should have joined the Prince.' if
there was one atom of 'lath in the scandalous stoner of her
misconduct? Wu, it to br believed that this Ludy and her
own *maws, should nut mix with the Neapolitau domestics
of her Royal Higlnvese. and hear something of those irides,
cericies that were so notorioue ? or was it to be supposed
that these Italians concealed all they knew until they were
safely lodged in Cotton-garden? But the Princess had been
united iii some places Stith the saner respect at here she had
been received by several Aeries, Nieces—by the legitimate
Prince of Baden—by the still more legittn-tte Stuarts of
Sardinia—the legitimate heirs, as diitiegmehed from the
heirs inheriting on the principles of liberty and by the will
of the people. Another Prince, who he doubt.d nut would

Mr. Brougham now commenced a detailed review of
the evidence adduced for the ptusecution, He would
first request their Lordships' attention to the incident

which the Attorney General had been so anxious to prove

was astonishingly retentive; but, when he was asked any ques-
tion for which he was not so well prepared, he answered by a nose
oaf ricoodo; although that very answer was often in direct contra-
diction to his former statement. The Learned Gentleman am-
, untied to point out various iastances of such contradictions, all of
' which were evidence of direct perjury on the part of the witness.
Ile alluded to that part of we crees.examination when Ma.

mented upon the conduct of this witness, upon being told that he
could nut 1140/C joked with Hieronimus several amiss. The reply
to that was Non tad ricordo.—Now ;het was gross perjury, and
was certainly equalled by his conduct in saying, that " he would
rather eat grass than go back to the service in wnicj he had been
engaged." Now as to those witnesses who had bees so well paid

for he was paid at the rate of two thousand pounds a year. The
aunt was called a compensation for his losses ; but what would be
said when It was known, that at Messina, where this witness had
made those great sacrificers, there was no land proprietor, no

Lordships to the witness at the inn at Trieste. Did their

could not forget the expression of that mutes countenance—
those eyes that nose, that lecherous mouth, from which
beeletailed his feel impurtaalties. This man, this perjured

Naples was such as required to be established by a crowd of
,Witeesees. His Leareed friend ought to have supported this
part of the charge with peculiar care. The circumstance

and experience taught them that it was a dangerous reliance.
He had another remark to makes lie had heard it said,
that lie had proved the falsehood of witnesses in parti
cedars which were not important. This came from the
lay part of the community; those who were acquainted
with the law knew the absurdity of the position. If lie
• had to set up an informer, it would be necessary for him
to produce evidence to support him in some of the most
Important particulars; but, in pulling down a perjured
witness, it was quite enough to make him state a false-
hood, even upon the most unimportant particulars. If
this were not the case, what security could there be for
the safety of human kind? What chance of escape
from the toil of the conspirator? What safeguard against
the malignity of a spiteful witness. " Suppose," said
Mr. Brougham, " that any one of your Lordship's bad

at which your delicacy revolts. and irons which human
nature is alien—that a villain charged you wills the corn

could be possibly adduced, and you would have to rely

tion of the odious charge. An acquittal would be given
If that evidence should be found to contradict himself in
the slightest particular. I call limns you to extend this
sort of justice to the Queen." He was told that the si-
tuation which Berganii held originally; coinaared with
his, fortune in the Queen's service, was considered a mat-
ter of suspicion. God forbid that the time should arrive
at which all stations except one, were not open to all
seen. He would remind their Lordships, that the rapi-
dity of Bergoines promotion had been greatly over-stated
—mid the manner of his promotion was a proof that love
was not the cause of it. Dimwit load stated, that three weeks
after Bergami's introduction to the service of the Queen
he had been admitted to those familiarities which foraged
the ground of the charge. How was it at the board?—
He dined with the serviette, mead it is proved that even at
Genoa he had dined with the same °Dempsey. He cos-
tumed for a length of time in the situation of Courier,
and his promotion ((ideally roost with his 'suites.—
Where was the wretched Wane woman (a character
which the Queen mast be, if the witnesses were lobe
bediclied), who would allow her paramour to sit amongst
the menials? This was not like the operation of love.

The Leaned Counsel stated, that In answer to all the

casions, he held in kis hand a lIICUIOfiaI ofgreat authority:
it was a letter from our late gracious Sovereigu to her
Majesty. and was to the following effect :

The Learned Gentians s. then proceeded in a strain of
impassioned eloquence, and begged Hair Lordships to
pause before they gave judgment against her Majesty.—
" If," said he, 4 yuur julluenrnt goes forth against the
Queen, it will be the only judgment you ever issued that

ships may be guided by justice !•"
The Learned Gentleman than sat down, having evl.
dently made a powerful impression on the House.
Mier a pause of ten minutes, Mr. Williams presented
himself, and the Lord Chancellor inquiring his object ?
Mr. Denman said, his Learned Brother wished to address
their Lordships.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he understood that Mr.
Williams oinked to address a second speech la the House;
this was not customary; the usual course being for one
Counsel to speak at the opening of a case or defence, and
for another to sum tip. It certainly rested with their
Lordships to gram the indulgence, and in a case like this,
which was of an extraordinary nature, and of such par-
amount importance, he thought it would he desirable that
Mr. Williams should be permitted to address their Lord-
ships.
Mr. WILLIAMS then.rose, apologising for his inability
to follow his royal friend, or to do justice to his royal
mistress, in a discussion which had nevertheless been, by
his !canned friend, torn to pieces, and laid quivering and
trembling before their Lordships. He then proceeded to
comment on the difficulties under which his illustrious
client came to the defence—difliculties which, he con-

tended, were never experienced in any other case—
which were french, with unmixed evil, without the
slightest apparent benefit. He wislvd their Lordships to
consider who were the parties in this case. It was no
itrunetersalquestion. It was Isis ditty to speak dutifully
and reapecihilly of the iLkag—a statue which, in itself, was
said to be a tower of ',tree/ph—aid yet it was a name iss
(rout of the Bill of Pains and Penalties. It could, how-
ever, now uo longer be doubted, that on one side of this
ease there was the Government of the pantry, involving
rank, power, wealth, and influence, not only in this coun-
try, but also in threw States from whence the witnesses
had bee. brought. On the other hand, was a Qoeen, by
the treatment she had received, shorn of her beams—a
Queen, by the vicissitudes of fete—by the Circumstances
of fortune—and by the death of individuals,. who haJ been
deprived of her most active and able defenders.—The
learned goutleman then enumerated the difficulties nuder
which the Queen laboured in basing been deuied a list of

He called upon their Lordships .respectfully, bat firmly
and boldly, to pursue that secret and unbending rule
observed in the administration of justice in the Comets
below, which was to judge from the evidence adduced in
the cense, and not to suffer any previous opinion, or any
extraneous circumstances, to intioence their judgment.—
The I d gentleman insisted that the whole of the evi-
dence skewed that the Government were patties to the
prosecution of her Majesty, and that undue influence and

Were they afraid that lie would &hew, if examined, what

funds of corruption, were all amply Its twitted —The
learned Counsel now begged to du eel the attention of
their Lordships tea point of great importance, which had
isorbetit adverted to by his learned friend the litiortsey
General the Queen. It appeared, bons the esistettee
of Mallemoiselle Disment, that her Majesty thought and
believed that she wits environed and beset by spies, who
were sure to report di she did to her enemies, and to
give the worst possible complexion to every thing that
admitted of misconstruction. And yet, with this convic-
tion, was her Majesty so incautious, so open, so regardless
of all appearances, as the case for the prosecution spry-
tented ! This was another, in addition to the many rea-
spris stated by his learned friemd, her Majestfs Attorney
General, to chew the utter improbability at life story

learned gentleman next proceeded to expose, at some

that we were no party, direct or indirect, to the interference ut
