THE DUCHESS OF NORFOLK'S CASE.

The great rase of the Duchess of Norfolk, which
was briefly noticed in this Paper on 'Tors.lay, the
St2d of this mouth. has since attracted very general
attention, Isiah in Parliament anti with the public in
The siiiirkeiiy whicfi it bears in many of
its circumstances to the Bill now pending id Par.
figment we then remarked, and recited the points
wherein the similitude was observable. The in-
teresting nature of the cue itself. end the circum-
stance of its having formed a very prominent feature
in some of the recent debates in Purbameot, induce

'us to believe that a fuller notice of it. and of the
parties concerned. than we then published, 'night
toot prove unaceertible to our readers.
The Ditche.., whose maiden deluation was
Lady Mary Mors'aunt. was the daughter of the
Earl of Peterborough, and was moored to the Duke
of Norfolk on the 13 h of June. 1677._ The Eirl,

hrr fithrr, presented the Duke on Imo morrinKe
with 10,0001. as the leti)'s fosiont ; anti, us the
Ouches Astro, rettled tut him for life tondo to the

value of nearly 1,000% a year, with the reversion►
out the failure of issue to the Duke's right heir.
This circumstance, however, is denied by the
Duke, who in his statement, acknowledges the
receipt of the 10,0001. but genuses his lady of an.
bounded extravagance. They flied together until
about the yeti. 1685. the year e•f the accession of
James the Second. when the Duke having re.
ceived some account e•f die Duch's**s gallon.
trim.. took her with him, as the Duchess states,
to Frai,ce. and put her, although a Protestant,
into * nunnery. It is certain, however, that
the Duchess did go to France. *lore it seems
she changed her religion, end became a Roman
Catholic. Her Grace returned to England in
May, 1689, and it is at this peraed that her edul.
reruns intercourse with Sir John Germaine be-
comes apparent. She lodged with Sir John at
the Cockpit for two month.; after which, think.
lug it conveiiient to be somewhat more in
privacy, she gave out that she was going to
France, end removed to Vauxhall, to a house
token fur her by Sir John Germaine. She there
took the name of Lady Beckman, and Sir John
was represented to he her brother. She lived at
'Vauxhall for two year., and then removed to a
house on Millbank, where the Duchess end Sir
John lived with as much freedom se if they had
been married. Their servants here frequently paw
them together in bed. The Duke being apprised
of the Duchess's course of life, brought a Bill, in
January. 1691, into the House of Lords. fur a di•
vorce, but the Duchess end Sir John Gernasine
contrived to keep the witnesses out of the way, and
the Bill was thrown out. The Duke attempted
second Bill in December, 1694, which in the is.
unary following experienced a similar fate. chiefly,
however. es it would seem, (tom the circumstance
of there having been no previous proceedings for a
divorce, n menet; et thoro, in the Ea:leant-bail
Court. The ill success of these two Bills gave such
confidence to the Duchess, that she placed very
little, if any, restraint upon her intercourse with
Sir John Germaine, and her familiarity with him
became at length so notorious end undisguised,
that the Duke caused ii third Bill for a divorce to
be submitted to the House of Lords tau the 16th of
February, 1699.
The Dill sets forth that Henry Duke of Norfolk, and Earl
Marshal of England, did some years sister marry the Lady
Mary Slordannt q that she had for divers years lived in separa-
tion from him, sod hail unlawful familiarity and adulterous
conversation wiit Sir John Germaine, Bart.; that she was
guilty of adultery on her part, and had broken the bond of
matrimony. Auld fur as much as the Duke had no issue, nue
could hope fur any hut spuriuns issue to @peeved him ill his
honours and estate, unless the said marriage were declared
void by Act of Parliament, and he were enabkd to marry
steam, he prays that the said bond of matrimony be, sad it
is thereby enacted and declared to be dissolved, vacated, and
void. The Act then enables the Duke to contract another
marriage, and makes some arrangements respecting the pro.
pert), settled upon the parties by marriage settlements, &e.
The Bill was read a first time in the House of
Lords on Friday the 16th► of February, 1699. It
was ordered that the Duchess of Norfolk should be
furnished with► a cup} of the Bill, that the Duke
should be hews" by Counsel to make good the alle-
gatio►s contained in it, end that the Duchess might
have Counsel to attend at the same time if she

pleased.
We stated in our former brief notice of the Bill
the orders made by the Howie, that the Duchess
should he furnished with a list of the witnesses who
were to be produced against her, with an account
of their places of residence, and we also publish-
ed the singular order of the House respecting
the mode of taking and authenticating the evi-
deuce of such of the witnesses as were foreigners.
A specification of the charges alleged. made out
with extraordiary precision, was also ordered to be
supplied by the Duke's agents; and witnesses for
the Bill were COlllll4lOl to undergo a preliminary
examitiation by the Counsel for the Duchess, to
authenticate the list of names, and of places of
residence, previously furnished to the agents of the
Duchess. This was done by the House because
it was not thought to be just that the Duchess
should be brought to' answer • great variety of
charges, extended over aft imirfittite space of time,
without being apprised of the names of her
accusers, and enabled by sufficient notice to meet,
and, if pos.ible, refute their allegations. By this
proceeding.. the Counsel for her Grace were unaided
to proceed with their crowetainination and defence
without interruption, and the trial was conducted
without the occurrence or difficulties or embarrass-
merits to the House, in pursustice of the oulinsry
course of judicial proceedings, sud in a manner
tunas conducive to justice.
%Ve shall not repeat the evidence adduced. It'
is Iblifficiralt to say that it was couclusive of the alw
legalisms continued in the preamble of the Bill, so
that the only ques oat terminating the evidence,
arose upon the propriety of Parliament,grantiog a
divorce its the lint isistaiicee without the intervens
lion of a an t in the isiferior Coon,. This question
was, however, finally decided by the House of Lords

in favour of the Crake;. but Meerut "Peirs entered
solemn protests against the principle of such a met-
sure on every stage of the proceeding. Thit; Bill
war.theo seat down to the Commons, where, in the
it.Sth of March, 1700. the evidence was repeated,
and the Couniwl ou both sides being heard. after

BRUSSELS, AUGUST 22.

We learn from the French frontiers that several
penions who belonged to the'ohl French army, and
have been lately taken again into the service, have
made use of ►editious awl injurious language in
respect to the Royal Family, but they were itnnse.
diately taken into custody and delivered over to the
hands of justice.

AUGUST 94.
The late occurrences at Paris, and fluctuation in
the public funds theiehy occasioned, have caused
numerous courera to be sent to Holland and the
Rhine, many of whom have primed through here.
This circumstance and some temporary measures
of precaution adopted at Paris, gave rise to alarm-
ing reports, which were, however, soon dispelled.
BERLIN, ♦UGUST 19.
The news of the death of the Duchess of York
(a Princess of Prussia), has been rtceived here with
great regret.
The arrival of personewho may be supposed to
have some connexion with the diplomatic negocia-
lions now on font, continues to be frequent. Among
others are Lieutenant-General Hope, from Dres-
den ; Colonel Von Alinckwitx, the Saxon Ambas-
sador Extraordinary to the Court from Dresden ;
the Privy Counsellor-Count Hittsfeld, from Pyr-
'Dont ; and the British Cabinet Messenger, Daniel,
from London. ,

bee than that of her principal domestic and at
tendant. The peculiar situations of apartment's
with relation to each other on board a ship, where
the space fur the accommodation of all, roust
necessarily be very limited, ought not to be too
nicely scanned, as those can sufficiently feel who
the course of their lives have had the t&sfortune of
being on board even of large and commodious
vessels. If contiguity of resting-place on board
of a ship be a crime, God forgive the thousands
who annually leave this country fur the various pil-
lions of the globe, whither business or pleasure
may chance to kid them ! When oct•arionat!y
resting at Mile, the apartments of BERGS/At and
of the Countess OLD!, her two principal itb~
tendante, were of course the nearest to that of their
Royal Mistress. It is likely too that such apart-
meats were better and more commodious than
others more remote, and they were naturally appro.
primed to the chief dumesties. We find, hoWever,
that at Trieste, the Chamber of the Countess
OLDI was nest to that of the Mincers, and was
between the Chamber of the Pii:scess and the
chamber of BERGAIII. The misstate particulars tit
wiliest the ATTORNEY-Griwelat. stooped to raise a
presumption that the Princess here shared her bed
with Bseaeui, prove nothing but the desperate
nature of the case. To those circumstances se
crustiest uisfurtunately refer as minutely as they were
stated at the bar; but upon one of them we may be
permitted to rentarlt, that the use of two band-
basins being common to all persons of cleanly habits
in this country, and in Trieste also, as the witness
admitted, unasked, no presumption can thence be
raised of the Princess's criminality. The effect
of the filthy observation made by the chamber.
maid at Carlsruhe, was removed by Lord MANS.

admitted that the bed presented the appearance of
its having been used by wily one person. These
were the points ' upon which the ATTORN EY.
GENERAL chiefly rested in Isis statement, and
although several days have now been consan,
ed in the examination of witnesses for the
Bill, nut one of these averments leis as yet beeir
supported by the evidence. Even the win:estate for

good understanding of men of the world, whether
