your Lordships that lie was merely employed:in the situation
of, courier, which he discharged faithfully, and to the dig-
chat cc of which,he apprenended,no disgraccould be attached.
They came then, to the evidence of another person, the last
witness examined, Giuseppi Sacchi, who had been for a year
in the service of: her Royal Highness ' who had been raised
frow a common soldier to the rank of Lieutenant in the Ita.:: •
Ilan army ; who left the service of her Royal Highness, and
received there no ordinary recommendation, but one of
the 'highest characters that could be given or received.
He. stated those facts already alluded to, Which had occur=.

red at the Barona ; he stated also that ,lie went into tier-

many with her Royal .Highness, and among all he stated,
there were three or four facts so decisive in their nature
that he would confine his observations to them. At Rupi,

nrlli Ber<rat»i was ill, he had occasion to visit him, and he
saw by the door, which was partly open, Bergami in 'his bed:
that her Royal Highness also, was there in the room by the
side of a bed on the sofa. He mentioned this as illustrative of
that hind of intercourse which► never orcarred toccept between
man and wife, or those who stood in the same relation, ann.

if they believed those facts, the conclusion of adulterous
intercourse was inevitable. • From a witness.-then, whose,
character was not impeached, who stood, if possible, higher
after his crossexarnination than before it, they heard such

testimony as before any ordinary tiribunal cotald nut leave a
doubt but that the crime was committed. He Irtel thus ended,

his .remarks upUit the evidence 'adduced in support of the
1301, and as he :before observed, he did not know what he
had to combat, he bad made such observations upon the na-
ture of the testimony as occurred to him, and be could ap-
peal confidently to their Lordships' decision, whether the
triumph in which his Learned Friends on the other side
yesterday indulgtri was not premature—whether the proof
had fallen short of the opening speech of-. the Attorney-Lie-
tieral. Before he sat down he was desirous of alluding to

- .
one topic, which bad been so much the,slittject of calumny
and misrepresentation during the Milan Commis4lon.—
It was impOssible not to know that reports of the most
serious nature with respect to the conduct of her Ma-
jesty had spread 'oter Italy and a great part a Europe,
and the course which was pursued in order to ascertain the
truth or falsehood of those facts was one that must obtain

the approbation of every unprejudiced and impartial inquirer.
The Government sent to Milan a gentleman known to his

Learned Friends and respected by every inan who knew
hint, of pure and ..spotle3s integrity, of great legal attain-
ments, to sift the credibility of the story, to receive with
that caution for which his high professional character fitted
hint, all those reports and rumours that miriht reaelt
hint. He was assisted by another gentleman of great prac-
tice and of considerable experience in another profession.
A third gentleman, whose name bad frequently been men-
tioned in the course of the proceeding, he meant Colonel

Browne, accompanied these gentlemen-1;a man whom be hail
not the honour of knowing, but whose character stood as ele-
vated and as high as any of those who bad dared to traduce him..
Government,had a right to appoint such a Commission, and-
had used its. discretion in selecting its members in the most
satisfactory manner. He shottldnow apologise to the House
for having taken up so much of its time. He trusted that he
had neither Coloured nor distorted the evidence any way, and
hoped that he might be allasYed to say, that he did aretst sin-
cerely and devoutly wish, that as the tesult of the present ift
quiry, her Majesty might succeed in establishing to the full
satisfaction of their Lordships and of the country, her unsul-
lied innocence. This was his mast fervent. wish, but as the
case now stood, he conceived that the charges had been sub-
stantially made out, and that the facts stated in the preamble
to the Bill had been fully established. •
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL concluded at half-
past four o'cloa.

Counsel on the part of her Majesty Utre prepared to e•o into
the defence immediately,. or required sonic time for the pfir-
pose of preparing their case.
Lord LONSDALE.said, that he was so lii,tle accustomed to
trespass upon the attention of the House, that be Crested tie
might•be permitted to say few word; on Milt, had fallen
front the Noble Earl on a former occasion-,-be meant on that
pert of the Bill' which related to the' divorce, and from the ob-
servations of the Noble Earl, the House were inclined to sup-
pose that this part of the Bill would be dispensed with. .
Lord LIVERPOOL wished' first of all to•remark,,That nn
opinion could be formed on the evidence of the case they had
already heard, and until they had gone thrqugh the whole of
the evidence, they should keep their minds :clear front every
impression. They wont& consider that all' the evidence they
had hitherto beard might be completely and effectual), repell-
ed.. He had stated before, and be repeated that statement;
that the object of the Bill was not the relief of•an•individuat,
bitt its object was public justice, it was to neliold the honour
of the country. He,conld say most dist inet ly.:too, on the part
of the Illustrious Ifulividual referred to, that he had not the
least wish that this Bill should operate as a measure of per=
sonal relief to himself. If when the shall go into
the -Committee, the House should not agree to that ciente, 110
should he perfectly ready. to withdraw it. Whatever might he
the result of the proceeding, he wished it to he understood.
that the whiner itself was never undertaken astone•of per-
sonal relief, but fur the sake of protecting the morals and
sustaining the reputation of the country.
Earl GREY perfectly agrevil ,Earl opposite,
in thinking that it was quite impossible at ;iiresent to form

wish to prejudge what might be their ultimate decision: but
lie could not help remarking, that a runreAntseasonahle and
ill-tinted -observation than that made by • the Noble Lord
(Lonsdaie), never was• uttered in that House. it seemed
to hini that the object of the Isrlable Lord was to obtaits,
