Mr. Dant:Gnats yesterday, in the Hens* of
Lords, commenced his statement for the defence of
his Illustiious Client, but hail not concluded it
when the hour appointed by the Ij.,nae had arrived
for their adjournment. A very full and careful report
of what fell on this must interesting occasion from
the Learned Counsel will he found in our preceding
columns. His speech hitherto consists exclusively
of comments upon the charge made by the ATTOR•
Nee-GINERAL, and upon the character and value
of the tesiiniony udduced, remarking occasionally
upon the injustice of the ellegstions contained in
the opening speech, and how effectually several of
the moat prominent among them were refuted or
denied by the witnesses brought forward to sup-
port them. Mr. Bennett speech, so far as it has
proceeded. is a triumphant refutation of the Mu:b-
utes urged against the QUERN. as they have been
sought to be substantiated by the witnesses, and by
chewing the impossibility of their evidence in many
important particulars bring true, has effectually
dissipated every cloud raised by their breath, if in-
deed a cloud so raised could fur u moment hare
obscured the character of the Queen of ENGLAND.
It would be useless to analyse Mr. Beounuases
observations, as the extreme interest of the subject
must enforce every person to read and study the
speech itself. Mr. 13a9uonAst will resume his com-
ments this morning ; hut from the minute:left with
which he proceeds in examining the statements
and evidence on the other side, we do not think it
probable that he will bring his statement to a dose
this day.
We feel sincere pleasure in observing that Mr.
BROUGHAM has, in the commencement of his case.
declined to exercise whist he conceived to be his
right of recrimieetion. There is as much prudence
,as propriety in this resolution. Its the first place
the Lords would not suffer the QueeN's Counsel
to pursue such a line of defence to the Bill;
and in the second, we do not think that, if
the Learned Gentleman were to prove that the
KING had in a thousand instances violated I.:s con-
jugal duties, such proof would in the opinion of the
public contribute in the slightest degree to displsy
the innocence of his Illustrious Consort.

The Paris Papers of Saturday last contain • very
full and minute account of the circomstsnces
tendant on the birth of the Duke de BOORDEAUX,
and the Moniker in particular furnishes copies
of the depositions of sever4l persons, one being
Marshal SUCHET, testifying the actual birth of
the infant Prince. Sitet a publication seems
to be rendered necessary to obviate the po-si.
hail of auy doubts being excited in the pub-
lic mind respecting the actual liurage ofr'thc
child, for it so happened that the Ono of child-
birth came so suddenly upon the Princess, that her
Royal 'Highness was at the instant the infant's
birth wholly unattended, end that moment of
deepest interest passed witliouL her Royal Highness
having received any professional or other asa'stance.
The grest.dignitaries of State, whom the KING had
commanded to attest the birth of the child, were of
course not present, but the good sense and premuce
of mind of the. Princess suggested to ber the poli-
ties) expediency of having some witnesses capable
of attesting the fact of the infant's birth, and there.

actual birth of the yonog 8011118011. Thos ttp•
poronce of the r•trcumstttnce has induced as lel

in•tar+ce. It was sent,. to Paris with t 1!.• wine
and the garlic by the people of Pau, olio bad
preserved this flagon with a species of religious
veneration. Some r.f the soldiers who *ere invited
to witness the acemiehearest of the Duchess
ale flunky, conceiving from the sudden nature of the
summons that some personal danger was threatened
to her Royal Iliglinsas, rushed violently into her
cliambiT witli'dierrged bayonets.
The Royal Family of France are, as might be
expected, in the utmost joy at the birth of this
Prince. Paris was brilhanlly illuminated in the
evening. sod the Royalist Pipers inure UP that the
enthusiasm of the people was at its height. The
bulletina represent the Royal Mother and Infant as
doing well. The child is said by the pinfessiousl
attendants to be extremely well formed and vigorous.

cruelty by the Spanish Government, has finally ob-
tained the recognition of his shim. The Phila.

effect seems to have been owing to the revolution:
for, though a Junta, to whom the rase eras referred,
gave in their award the 30th of Sept. 1819, the
award was not ratified by the King till the 21. s of
May last ; and we believe Mr. MADE bed not been
