MS -absence he must look upon as criminal, his
silence acquittal. If they had intended to make
out an honest case against his Client, why did they
not examine Lieutenant Flynn before they at-
tempted to bring the charges ? He should now
come to a part of the case which had been urged
with all -practicable force against her Majesty—
he meant the assertion that her Majesty had shown
a marked partiality for foreigners to the exclu-
Sion of 14.:nglislimen. It had been said, and urged
arid repeated, that her Majesty had in her travels
avoided the society of the English. He could meet
general assertion by general assertion of much
greater weight. Her Majesty's attachment to
the English was notorious, and a fact which stood
in evidence, afforded a complete answer to all
this general and invidious assertion. It was the
circumstance that her Majesty had applied to;
and secured an English captain to accompany her
in her long voyage on board the polacre. He
should pass on to the journey from Syracuse,upou
which point an attempt had been made to esta-
blish a chain of circumstances on the testimony
of Majocci. But he had been unsupported both
by Dumont, who must have known of those cir-
cumstances if they had taken place, and by
another discarded servant, who, when prompted
by the Attorney-General, appeared to have for-
gotten what he was expected to prove, and said.
he knew nothing about it.
The Learned Gentleman was proceeding under
much evident exhaustion, when .
The Earl of LIVERPOOL rose and said, he was
sure he only spoke the general feeling of the
House, in suggesting that the LearnefGentle-
man shouli be permitted to retire until he had
refreshed himself.
Mr. DEN3l:ts thanked his Lordship, and ob-
served, that in the course of the day he would
avail himself of the kind suggestion. •
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, the House, he
had no doubt, would adjourn, if the Learned Gen-
tleman felt himself too much exhausted to pro-
ceed. His duty was most arduous, and the
House was disposed to shew him every accommo.

dation.
By the advice of his friends, the Learned
Gentleman determined to retire now, and-he ac-
cordingly requested half an hour's indulgence.
The House therefore adjourned for half an
hour. •

Mr. DENMAN returned at half past two, and
resumed. He should now draw their Lordships'
attention to that part of the case which referred
to her Royal Highness's determination to visit
the-Archipelago, the Greek Islands, and the Holy
Sepulchre. For this purpose she hired a polacre,
slept iu a tent on the land, and although enduring
great privations, lived iu a delightful familiarity
with all those who accompanied her. It was from a
circumstance which was never denied, that the
Advocates for the Bill attempted to bring their
Lordships to the inference that adultery had
been committed. It was the fact of Bergatni's
having been seen in the day-time resting under
the same tent with her Royal Highness. Ma-
jocci was the witness examined .to prove that
which was already admitted, and to give a con-
sequent appearance of weight to that width had
never been denied. But Majocci had suppressed
the fact of the Countess of Oldi being constantly,
and the little Vic or:ue being invariably under
the tent likewise. Majocci could speak L.)
trifling circumstances of her Royal Highness's
journey, but not to those which were likely to
fix a man's memory. For instance, he could not
give the remotest idea of how long her Royal
Highness travelled on the average every day,
and he had carefully suppressed the fact that she
was so exhausted by fatigue, that she constantly
required some one to be near her. But Lieut.
Hownam stated, that her Royal Highness was
often so fatigued, as scarcely to be able to dis-
mount from the mule on which she rode. Was
it possible, he asked, that he could be called
upon to argue that this was not a proof of
adultery. Could any person be so uncandid, so
unjust, as to say, he believed that adultery had
been committed under that tent by her Royal
Highness, after it had been proved that neither
herself nor Bergami were undressed any part of
the time ? He defied any man to lay his hand
upon his heart, and say, he believed that the
charge of adultery had, to his mind, been esta-
blished from this circumstance. The Learned
Counsel for the Bill has asked if the beds were
regularly made ? expecting, no doubt, that as
much pains was taken with them as on a bridal
night. But what was the fact, why, that
there were no bed clothes, no linen, and
these parties reclined there with no other al-
teration from their travelling dress, than one
putting on a dressing gown, and the other
a cloak.—The Witness, Miss Dumont, had
taken-great pains to prove an 'adulterous inter-
eourse between the parties, but in the courpe
of her examination it was proved that the adul-
terous acts were as innocent as could be., He
took it to be clear that there was no ground to
suppose an illicit intercourse took place before
they went on hoard the polacre. If tho scenes at
Naples and other alleged acts of misconduct had
been refuted, her Royal Highness :he Princess of
Wales would stand without tho slightest impro-
priety of conduct until she went on hoard the
.polacre. He had in that view a right to say,
if there was truth in argument and justice
in inference, that her Royal Highness on board
the polacre was without the slightest impu-
tation. He should speak of what hoppened
to her Royal !iighness after leaving the
polacre at a su'asequent part of his surnaming
up. He called upon their Lordships to con-
cider in tW.s important cause, involving the
fate of this Queen, her detrhonement, and de-,
gradation, to be well satisfied that the act of adul-
tery was committed. The mere possibility of an
adulterous connection having taken place on board
the polacca would not make out this case. What
were the facts ? It appeared that a regular ar-
rangement for sleeping was made on her Majesty
going on board, but in consequence of theannoy-
ance of the animals in the hold and the heat,of
the weather, her Majesty thought proper to sleep
_upon deck. That act of sleeping, on deck- had
