GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN.

CARLBRUILE, FEB. 2.—The Sitting of the Se-
cond Chamber of the State on the day before
yesterday had a melancholy termination. The
discussion related to our military establishments,
for which a vote was proposed in the Budget of
1,648,000 'lodes. Government, however, con-
sented to reduce it, by taking off the odd 48,000
florins ; and to suppress the statute labour of the
military waggons, by substituting for that labour
a stun of 39,0Wt1orins, payable on the funds of
the military revenue : it however insisted on the
vote of 1,600,000 florins for the army of the',,
Grand Duchy, as the Chamber itself had before
resolved upon such a military establishment, asl
being necessary for the State in its quality of a
confederated one. Government also maintained
that in the other States of Germany military esta.l
blishments of much greater proportions of men
had been voted by the Assemblies of those States.
The Chamber refused to enter into any such
comparisons, as it was ignorant of any facts on'
which to come to a conclusion ; and persisted in
voting no more than 1,500,000 florins. Govern-
ment, with a
,hope of inducing the Chamber to
coincide with its views on other topics, declared
that the sum of 1,600,000 florins was necessary
for it in its capacity of a Confederate State ; and
that in accordance with the 68th Article of the
Constitution, the resolution of the Assembly of the
States could not prevent its tilling up the deficit
of 1,600,000. It therefore required that the
Chamber should, without abandoning its former
resolution, give its concurrence to that declare-
tion of the Government, and not oppose the Go-
vernment, in virtue of this right of a Confederate
State, from comprising in the budget the sum of
1,600,000 florins. The Chamber came to the
vote on this subject the 30th ult, when the pro-
position of the Government was rejected by a
majority of 30 to '29 ; and thus in one minute
one single vote has destroyed all the benefits
arising from a tedious Session of seven mouths
duration.—(Gazette de France.)

BRUSSELS, FELL B.—The following Order of
the Day has just been issued at, Lille by the
Marquis de Jumilline

.44 'rile Court opened &t "leo O'clock this morn-
tg, and immediately proceeded to busitiess.
4The examination of the witness Head was resumed.—Before
kind Portsmouth went out on the Monday morning of his mar-

age with Miss Hanson he gaveno directions about his clothes.
dhere were some things packed up. Ile did not put on a clean
irt that morning, to the best of witness's knowledge. When
Itis Lordship went out in the morning he told the witness that
to was going;" to breakfast at Mr. Hanson's, in Bloom' sbury.
Square. There were Gen. Norton and Mrs. Fletcher Norton, of
.the Grantley familr..in the house at Lincoln's-inn.fielde at the

time. There were no preparations and nothing said about a Mar.
rine in the house on that day or any time before. In thit Cones°

;
square, at Mr. Hanson's, between five'and six, when his Lord-
ship told the witness that he had been to Salthill. Thcarst
thing his Lordship said was, " that he had nicked ustsit by
being married." Witness dressed his Lordship, who told hind
that he did not know about being married when he left them
(the family) in the morning. Witness does not recollect that
his Lord4hiP shaved before be went out on the Monday. On
the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday his Lordship slept
in Bloomshury.square. Witness returned with Lady Ports-
mouth to Hampshire. His Lordship from time to time, soon
after his marrow, Complained greatly of Lady Portsmouth,
and said, she had threatened him' and had horsewhipped
him. Witness, in the lifetime of the late Countess, went
out with his Lordship and ..her Ladyship in his phaeton..
—His Lordship; when he met a hearse, would often whip at
the driver. of it, and would call him old Joe, and old Peter,
and a black job fellow. At Hartshorne his Lordship 'would
often ring one of the bells in the Church, and would
often stop the rope pullers on the road, and shake hands.
He once received 15d. from witness for ringing. When per.
sons in the neighbourhood were ill, his Lordship was verranxi.
ous to know when they would die, and the palish clerk was or.
dered to let hint know when they died, that he might ring the
bells. Ile would upon receiving the information go and ring.
Witness, at the funerals, has heard his Lordship in the church
give out the psalms for singing; he was often in coloured clothes
on those occasions, but.had mostly a crape hatband. His Lord-
ship would often walk before the procession in the place of the
clerk, and would sit in the clerk's place in the church. There
was no getting a frank from his Lordship as a favour, but if the
servants told him they wanted to get a person in disgrace, or to
get a person flogged, he would give diem one readily. This
was their usual mode of getting franks.
Cross-examined by Mr. Serjeant Pgt.r.—Witness remembers
having met Mr. Newton Fellowcs. Witness called upon him
because Mr. Newton Fellowes wrote to him. Ile ofThred wit-
ness to take him into his service. Witness gave evidence on
the attempt to set up the conirnission of lunacy in 1814. Wit-
ness now lives at Bramley, and keeps a shoe, meal, and pork
shop. Witness on that occasion asked whether he should have
any compensation for his loss of time ; but Mr. Newton Fel-
lowes made no answer, nor had the witness ever received a far.
thing. He bad assisted his Lordship in making the servants
drink the draughts which his Lordship had prescribed. Wit.
nest used to gratify his Lordship in all his pranks. Witness
never heard that Lord Byron and Mr. Buckworth attended his
Lordship to church. Mr. Buckworth was an acquaintance of
Mr. Hanson. Lord Portsmouth used to read the prayers in
the house, and would ,sometimes read the Morning and Even.
ing Service 44 in a lump." Witness does not recollect having '
been examined at inchester in a case of perjury.
Reexamined by Mr. WETrixilet.e.—Never saw Lord
Byron at Lord PorternoutWs.. Witness believes Mr. Hanson
Was Lord Byron's attorney. Lord Byron dined on the Tues.
day at Mr. Hanson's. Mr. Buckworth was a young man.—
With respect to these mixtures, witness said he used to make
pretence only to put the jalap in the beer, which he used to
make the servants drink. His Lordship used to wear a jean
dress when he was working in the fields with the men in load.
ing. the hay and dung carts.
-By the Jury—The witness was discharged from Lord. Ports.
mouth's service for having made an affidavit.
Josiah Fither, examined by Mr. PErys...--Witness was
postillion to Lord Portsmouth. Witness, when the family were
in Lincoln's Inniqtad seen his Lordship in the stables, when he
would say to witness, " Joe, have you got any black jobs to-
day le" meaning funerals. On one occasion, when his Lordship
came into the stables in a furious hutnour,_ witness said to him,
44 You would'nt be in such an ill-humour if you knew *hat I've
seen."—" 'What have
,you seen ?" said his Lordship.—" Why
I've seen a black job in Holborn," replied the witness. His
Lordship whipped out of the stables in a moment, and witness
clever saw any more of him that day. His Lordship would often
come into the stables, and swear that the ostlers starved his
horses, and would put three feeds of corn in their mangers at
once. Witness .was Obliged often to take it out again. Lord
Portsmouth's manner ofdriving was no manner at all. He
would often, when in a situation of danger, throw up the reins
on the witness's lap, and tell him to take them himself. •
Thos. Mills was then examined by Mr. BROUGHAM—wit-
ness said, I am now in Lord Portsmouth's service, and have
been for 14 years as a carter. The Earl used to come often
where I and others were working. He used to drive the horses
In the hay-field from cock to cock. He would sometimes whip
us when he was angry, and would often pitch us off the cocks
into the waggon.
Used he to eat and drink, and joke with you ?—Yes.
What sort of jokes were his ?---Such as flinging beer over us.
(Laughter.)—When 1 used to give hint a horn of' beer, he
would pretend to drink, and then fling it into Illy face. He
asked me once whether my wife tickled me ? I said yes. .!,o
does mine, said he, she nearly tickles use out of bed. I can't
recollect exactly whether he told me any thing about pups.—
I flute)/ he asked me once if my wife had any pups. He said he
could not get any pups. He would sometimes put sawdust
into our beer. He used to ring with us at the Church and used
to expect his share of the money for it. Beer used to be sent
for us, and his Lordship would take a horn of it with us. I re-
member a gray horse which his Lordship whipped, running after
him, and if I had`nt stopped it, it would have run over him.—
He came into the fields one day as I was ploughing, and said
to me, " I've got another wife.' 1 said, who's that ? " Miss
Hanson," said he. He told me that he was obliged to have
her, because if he didn't, Mr. Hanson had told him Mr. Fel.
lower would take him down into Devonshire, and shut him up.
I was ordered not to obey Lord Portsmouth, but the Bailiff.
Cross.examined by. Mr. Serjeant PELL.—I was examined
about the commission of lunacy which was tried to be taken out
in 1814. 'Witness believed that he told the gentleman who
took down his examination all that he had said to-day.
By the Crime' Comm issros; can't read, and I did'nt
read the affidavit, but I heard it read.
Ale. BROUGHAM submitted that this affidavit made by the
witness should be put in and read. Ile urged this upon &decision
on the queen's trial, that whenever a witness was examined as
to a particular document, that document must be produced.
A Juryman here submitted that-this proceeding was not one
like an ordinary proceeding; a trial between two parties. It
was an inquiry in which everything that could be of informs.
don was legitimate. In the present instance it would be of
great satisfaction to the Jury to hear the affidavit in question
read. •

Mr. BROUGHAM was about to proceeed in his argument
upon the law of the question, whets
Mr. Serjeant PELL rose, and as we understood him, said
that the Jury would ate in the course of the cause what use
would be made of that affidavit: but at present be did not con-
sider himself bound to produce it. The Learned Serjeant inside
sonic further remarks whilst Mr. Brougham was on his legs,
but the noise being so great at the time, we did not hear them.
Mr. BROUGIUM said, it was singular that Mr. Serjeat Pell
knew what he was going to say, and anticipated it, but when it
was said he did not understand it.
Mr. Sedum PELL declared that he did understand Whilt
the Learned Gentleman said. There was no man for whose
talents he had a greater respect, or whom lie heard with greater
pleasure. What the Learned Gentleman said went far beyond
his ears--it had even reached his heart—but though Mr.
Brougham was a formidable toe to encounter., yet he (Serjeant
Pell) would tell hint that if he meant to begin a warfare in the
conduct of this momentous case, he should- be met at every
point. 'ilk was not said as a triumphant challenge, but in
sincerity and with respect to the talent of the Learned Gentle.
man. But he (Ser)'cant Pell) was not here to succumb to any
man—even to Mr. Brougham.
Mr. EnounnAse said he was exceedingly sorry if he had
sdal any thing that had been considered by his Learned Friend
as personally offensive.
An intimation was given from one of the Commissioners that
he couaidered that the witness had a right to correct himself by
hearing the affidavit. After some further discussion, Mr. Ser-
i
leant PELL gave it up.
The affidavit was then read.—lt stated the fondness of the
Earl for working with the men, driving a wagon,_ &c.that
his Lordship told hint that the Countess often tickled him in
the ribs ; and on one occasion he told the witnesa, " last night
Lady Portsmouth tickled me in the short ribs uncommonly."

ordered witness not to obey his Lordship.—l have known his
Lordship send three or four men in a day to the house in Lin-
coln's-inn-fields for the place of coachman, LI be said a coach-
man was wanting there. Ile used to come into the stables.
and direct that horses which had been hard worked should be,
bled. Ile used to say, I must take a pail of blood at a time
from' them ; so I used to put some tow round their necks and
stick it on with a pin, to make him believe that they had
been bled. He used to come behind me slily, as I was at
work, and throw the water in the pail over My legs. He used
to throw the water over as fast as I fetched it, and would some-
times fling the mop at me, and totnetimes through the coach-
glass. I used to tell him 'I would get a warrant for him from
Bow-street, when he would ask me whether I was hurt. If I said
I was, he would pull out his lancet and offer to bleed me. I have
known him to go about to the undertakers and ask whether they
had any funerals going out into the country. He would go and
meet them, and ilrive by the aide of the hearse, whip at the
driver, and drive in between the hearse and the man who car-
rierthe feathers.' 'He ivould often whip at the footmen behind
his coach. When the late Lady Portsmouth died (the witness
continued), Lord Portsmouth came to the witness on the day
before The funeral, and told him who were to come to it, and
bade him to whip them and drive them into a horse-pond. As
The funeral procession moved along, his Lordship put his hand
•out of the coach, and shook it to the witness, as a signal for him
to doss he had been instructed. At Guildford he made a sig-
nal- to the witness to give some of the cavalcade a ducking.
When the witness saw his Lordship after the funeral, his Lord-
ship had got it into his head that the witness had driven the
hearse, and in great glee said he would make him pay his, foot-
ing. He insisted upon having fifteen shillings-from the:wit-
ness for editing, as he called it, the witness never having driven
a hearse 'before.
Witness continued—" I was in town at the timeof the.jnar.
rjage of Lord Portsmouth with Miss Haneon. Thernwere
pone of us that knew of it until three o'clock on the day, when
Mr. Hanson's coachman came and told ut of it. He came into
the stable on the day after, and said to me " Charley, 1 have
got a new wife." So I hear, master," said I. " Yes, I
- havel'• says he, " and she'sa young one too." But he said he
did not know any thing about It until the morning he break.
• fasted with Mr. Hanson, and that it was not till twelve o'clock
on Sunday night that old Hanson persuaded her to have him.
But his Lordship said he would rather have had the sister..._.
When he was angry with any of the servants he would prescribe
them water gruel and mustard. He would run after the cook
with a bunch of nettles and try to drive. her out of the kitchen.
He would ask the witness, in the stables, whether he had any
victuals. If the witness said no his Lordship would Pala,
" then I'll go and give it to the cook well," and he would thin
run into the kitchen with a bunch of nettles.

ed. I know that Lord Portsmouth had not iense enough to
manage or do any thing with horses.
By the Jury.—Mr. Hanson discharged me. Lord Ports-
mouth mentioned the death of the late Countess with the great-
est glee.
Samuel Cooper, examined by Mr! J. PowxLL—l was in the
service of Lord Portsmouth as a carter.. I have seeia his Lord-
ship drive the teem in the waggon with a carter's whip. He
used to flog the horses very much, when they did not want flog.
ging. One tithe, when we were coming up a hill, his Lordship
said he should not take off the drag chain. We had come down
the hill, when he turned the horses up again; the drag chain
was on. He flogged the horses severely with a whip. Nothing
happened, but one of the horses fell down. He flogged another
horse that did not want flogging until he nearly shot his wind.
/Witness wanted to remove the drag-chain, when his Lordship
asked him If it was his ?
William Litchfield, examined by Mr. WETHERELL-4 was
employed 40 years ago as a house carpenter in Harteborn. In
the time of the late, Countess I was ordered not to attend to
any matters of importance without her order; Wiling matters
I might do at the order of his Lordship. Some time since I
had a daughter who was ill ; his Lordship came and waited
three hours-, and asked when she would die ? lie came with
the parish clerk, and was very anxious about her until she died.
His Lordship then were to toll the bell for her death. Sly
Lord ordered Richard Poor to make the coffin fur my daughter
and he came to meet the corpse. I paid 361. for the coffin; I
consented to Poor's making it. A.ll my family were at the
funeral ; my Lord walked before atlas an undertaker ; he wore
a blue coat); he told us we were behind time. At the church he
gave out the psalms and sang them himself.. '1 know a man of
the name of Gale ; my Lord met us ores' ;time when we were
"going to church, and told us to goback.itgain. We did not go
to church when Sacrament was given ; my Lord's behaviour
was such that I could not go. One time, when witness was
warming some glue for the use of the furniture, with a fire of
fagot wood, his Lordship came and ordered the fire to be put
out, and said that I stole the wood, and be would have me be.
fore a Justice; he would have no fire made theta. On one
time, when I led a horse with a cart to be mended, my Lord
said 1 had forfeited, because I bad never led a horse before, and
made me pay him two shillings. Ile wanted to get a sixpence
from a man who refused to give it, and said he wanted it for
his family ;my Lord, in a great passion, said " d—n your
family." I was on a ladder at work, when his Lordship would
have thrown me down slily if I had not got off. I think his
Lordship is weaker than he was. I haverseen him about a
fortnight ago. He was weak from a child.
Charles -Green was examined by Mr. DENHAM—He had
been in the service of Lord Portsmouth as a footman. When
I first went I was astonished at the familiarities which were
usual towards his Lordship, seeing that he was so greet a
Nobleman. When I met him on the stairs, if he was in an i
ill hemour, he would say, " I'm to be crossed by you as
well as the rest, am .1 ?" in a wild way ; I was astonished at
that, for I had committed no offence. This was very fre.
quently the case with me more than any body else; but I
soon got the length of his foot, and would hit off his humour.
lam now a shoeinalcet. I could manage him by little things.
I would lay hold of his queue, and knock at his back, and
ask whether any body was at' home ? A trick of this kind
would drive off his ill humour. I used to put a mop-stick
between his legs. The witness went on to describe a variety
of tricks of this kind, which he made use of to manage his
Lordship. On one occasion when I was walking behind his
Lordship, I received a blow froin him which knocked tnedown.
I was taken home, and I had some white wine whey ; I was
not very ill ; however, I wished to frighten him ; so I said to
him, it a not fit that gentlemen should knock down their ser-
vants, and in the Crown Office they would punish him ; so I
threatened to put him there, and have all his estates taken from
him. He was frightened at that, and cried out, " I'll go and
tell my wife of you I" Lord Portsmouth was very fond of
music ; and gave some of us suits of clothes to make a band
of us. He would sometimes ask what key the music which he
heard was in ; I'd perhaps tell him that it was the key of oor
Z. Once when his sleeve caught fire I ran up with a basin of
water : when the fire was put out, he asked us why I did not
put him in the tub of water. In his mind he is like a boy of
four or five yearn old.

SULEM QVIS DIOEKE PALSUM AVDIL4T

LONDON,
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 182 g.

The Public Service, during the.last war, hay

iug been exposed to inconvenience from an un

foreseen difficulty in obtaining a sufficient HUM

ber of Surgeons for the Army, Government is

taking the requisite measures for preventing the

recurrence of so serious on evil, in that comes

.Y‘vtlicit Great Britain may be so soon called ou to

sustain. With this view, Circulars have been

addressed to all the Army Surgeons, requir

ing each of them to make an, immediate

return of his fitness or unfitness to go upon liii

mediate service.

This is the first important step

of a warlike nature that has been taken with re

*pea to the Military force of the country, since
the agitation of the Spanish 'question. Naval

preparations have beeu for some, time going on

with great vigour. The information which we

now communicate to the Public is authentic.

The Journal du Commerce, and the Courier
Franials have been put under prosecution. for
publishing, as the speech of M.
those monstrous avowals'of the conduct of the
French Government towards Spain, which have
been so severely and indignantly reprobated by
;the public voice throughout Europe. On the first
'appearance in this country of the statements in
'ouestiou,we said that we could scarcely credit that
:France had been guilty of tlu atrocious perfidy,
de VILLELE was alleged to have ac.
'kuowledged. We ought rather to have said,
perhaps, that we could scarcely believe that M.'
de VILLELE bad had the effrontery to praclaim
his own infamy and that of his Colleagues ; for
'there can-be very little doubt, whether the truth
• hat been acknowledged by M. de VILLELE or
not, that the commotion* in Spain have really
been in a great measure the work of France, and,
that those cortnnetions must have been lung since
,quelled, but for the
.encouragement and assist-
dance afforded' to the insurgents by the French
.Governinent. -However, there is so Much of ltd.
turpitude in the unnecessary and, dis-
,gusting eagerness with which M. de VILLELE
:-was represented as having; 414ried in his own
J)alieneas and perfidy, that we shall rejoice at his
.Complete exculpation from the language that has
:been attributed to him. But the process insti-
tuted against the two Paris Papers Whose vet.•
tort or the Minister's speech has attracted the
"tice, of the-Procureur du Roi, Is by no means
