TRIAL OF THE QUEEN.—The history of no
Country-upon earth presents any thing more gross
than some of the facts sworn to against her Ma-
jesty in the course of yesterday. Upon a sub=
ject so disgusting, we wish to say little, and even
that little we should refrain from but for the
shameful perseverance of some of our cotempo-
raries in their unprincipled system of wilful mis-
representation and utter defiance of all decency,
truth, an,d justice. Without dwelling on the
more offensive details, we shall content ourselves
with remarking that the witness, M. Sacchi, late
Fiquerry to her Majesty, corroborates, in a va-
riats of instances, the testimony of those wio
preceded him. Besides the damning scenes and
conversations which he describes, he heard the
Princ'ess accost Bergami as " My Angel," 4‘
Heart, and .“ my Love ;" and these expres-
Sions, however they may harmonize with " the
custom of the country," when we consider that
they were addressed 'to a Courier, who had
on a sudden become a Baron under the patron-
age of her Royal Highness, seem to indicate ra-
ther a warmer feeling than Platonic respect and
the purity of " unsunned snow" would warrant.
—Just before .the House.., arose a very awkward
mistake occurred in the cross-examination. A
question was put, which was answered in a way
that would :lead us to suppose Mr. Brougham
.(,the brother of her Majesty's Counsel) had.been
promising rewards or benefits in some way or
other to those who refused to give evidence
against her Majesty. 'The Queen's Attorney-
General seemed to start at this with as much
virtuous surprise as his Mistress displayed when
she first beheld the unexpected apparition of the
" faithful" Majocci. The grossness of the ea,:
lumny was of course the
_occasion of his embark
rassment;
.but we wonder that lie should 'call omit
" Stop, stop l" to the witness, because we should
have expected -him' to be most anxious tv•trace
the libel to its source, and draw out the perjury
as fully as possible, for the purpose of supplying
a triumphant contradiction. We, ho'wever, are
far from intending to cast any reflyction on the
Learned Gentleman's discretion. lie has per-
haps learnt, though a. little late in the day
for him, to appreciate, the merit of that
homely proverb, which teaches .that a the
least said may be soonest inended.r. The fac-
tious and infamous cry .of " pc:jits and bri-
bery" against the witnesses who have proved the
numerous disgusting and shocking facts in this
case, our Readers may rest assured, is without
even the shadow of foundation. Facts, indeed,
speak sufficiently' for themselves. If the ac,
cusers of the Queen were malignant perjurers, it
might reasonably be asked, why did they not
at once, instead of giving only circumstantial
evidence, swear directly to their having been eye-
witnesses to the commission of the main criminal
act on the part of her Majesty ?, Their not
having, done so affords surely the most,. satisfac-
tory • inference that there has been neither
." bribery" -on the part of Government, nor
" perjury" . -on the part- of' the witnesses. As-
sumed, as it constantly is affected to be by the
illiberal and the• inisChieious, that. Italian
nesses may, be hired to swear any thing, why,,ht
the name of common sense,' not hire them at once
to the direct 'act re.qUired ? There can be but
one answer to this—Truth' alone was the ob-
ject,. and from every. consideration there .is fair
ground of presumptiOn that , nothing but• truth
,ha.S. been stated.

[Morning Chronicle.]

We understand that yesterday afternoon, after
the adjournnient of the House, of Lords, the
King's Ministers went to his Majesty in his re
treat in Windsor Great Park. The purport of
Altair audience we pretend not to divine. 10-
mon:, indeed, says, that as the great body of the
evidence for the prosecution is now drawing to a
-close, they desire to take his Majesty's pleasure
as to the further proceeding on the Bill. Whe-
ther it: is meant by this that,they will submit to
his Mitjesty, that the evidence has not clearly
proved all the facts Set forth in the Inquisition
at Milan ; and that though 'his Majesty and his
confidential servants conceived that they bad
sufficient grounds' for suhtnitting the caMte to
public inquiry, the eyidence does not juAify
thou in persevering, and particularly with re-
spect to the Divorce Clause. This, however, is
only-the report of the day—and it does not seem
worthy of credit, because, undoubtedly, to per-
severe in the Bill without, the Clause of Divorce,
Would leave his Majesty in a worse situation than
that in which they found,him before the produc-
tion of the Green Bag, since it would amount to
there were only rumours and
suspicions of indecdrum and levity ; but we have
put them on record. We'propoSe, therefore,-by
the Bill, to degrade her, but in this d.fTraded
state she is to remain your Majesty's Consort,
and in passing the Bill your Majesty will have to
give the assenting nod—" 3,e Roi 1c mut P.'
Another report i 5, that the Attorney and Solici-
tor-General mean to ask for an interval of five
days, as they expect other witnesses, and parti-
calarly one, from whom they trust they shall
draw a strong incident which he witner,,d r,;

[British Press.] . -
During a moment of interruption yesterday in
the proceedings at the Bar, caused by the retir-
ing of the Judges to deliberate upon a point of
practice. Lord Kenyon rose, and. submitted two
motions to the House, for the purpose of ascer-
taining the nature and extent of the facilities,
pecuniary and otherwise, granted to the Queen
for conducting her defence. At the. desire of
Lord Liverpool, the motions were • postponed
until this day-. This is a point upon which the.
public have felt a very considerable degree of
interest.; but the explanation given upon the
subject by the Earl of Liverpool in.the House of
Lords some days since, and the recent publica-
tion of a certificate signed by her Majesty's
Counsel, by which immediate advance is re-
quired from the Treasury of 10,0001. seem-
ed to offer an assurance that no diflieultY,.
would 'be experienced by her Majesty' in
any particular. It has, however, been 'assert-
ed that this sum of 10,0001. has not been ad-
vanced by the Treasury, notwithstanding the
urgency of the request ! The correctness of this
statement will be ascertained this morning by
Lord Kenyon's motion, and if it prove true, we
cannot but consider the citcumstance of with-
holding the money from the Queen's Law
Officers as being extremely inconsistent With
the' boasted perinission said by the Ministers of
the Crown to have been conceded to her Ma-
jesty, of drawing for unlimited sums. in
the present state of this matter we should
not think it proper to make any further re-
marks, and we are the more disposed to this
forbearance in the present instance, from being
sincerely impressed with the conviction that
the Ministers of the Crown would not take
any ungenerous advantage. of their controul
ever the public purse, to limit her Majesty's
means of providing evidence for her justification.
The Law Officers of the Queen are, we under-
itand,personally responsible to the Lords of the
Treasury for the application of all the sums of
money advanced for her Majesty's use, with re-
ference to the present proceedings. Of this we
do not complain, and perhaps the circumstance
might eventually contribute to the more satisfac.'.
tory establishment of her Majesty's innocence,
as it affords a perfect assurance that none of the
public money can b.e applied, at least upon the
Queen's part, in the purchase of convenient tes-
timony : but this rule of accounting contributes
so: effectually to the purity of justice upon the
one side, that we should he extremely happy to
find it established also upon the other. This,
however, is prevented by the principles of the
Constitution.

[New Times.]

, .
Another witness from among her Majesty's
chosen attendants was yesterday examined, and
another fact of too gross and revolting indecency
for us to repeat was averred on oath. Ear be
it from us to deliver a premature opinion, fix-
ing either -on one individual the crime of adul-
tery, or onanother that of perjury. It is too little
considered by many well-meaning persons, that
in asserting witnesses to be perjured by whole-
sale, they may be themselves " bearing false
witness against their neighbour.!'• Certainly the
case before us presents among its .Most odidus fea-
tures this alternative of criminality, an alterna-
tive however on which no honest man will pre-
sume to decide till not only the whole evidence
has been heard, but the judgment of a high and
honourable Tribunal delivered upon it. Every
Common Juryman feels, himself injured, if his
neighbour, who- has not, been present at the trial,
accuses him of injustice in a. Verdict founded on
a patient and conscientious attention not only. to
the matter of the evidente, but to the manner in
which it is given.—We repeat; it is not Tor us to
state at present any opinion on the truth or false-
hood of the fact averred yesterday on oath—but
it is our duty to say that such a fact, if true, i 4
legally conclusive of guilt. Many a woman now
living has been degraded and divorced, cast out
from her rank in society, and deprived of the
name and rights of a Wife, the evidence against
whom did not state one. single act more proxi,,
mate than this to the crimp with which she was

charged.

SlClLY.—Advices and Gazettes from Palermo,
to the 16th ult., were received yesterday, by
way of Genoa. The return of the Deputies
from Naples sent to negotiate for the in-
dependence of Sicily, with a refusal oti the
part of the .Neapolitan Government, was the
signal of the most prompt ,and vigorous mea-
sures on the part of the provisional Junta at
Palermo. A decree was immediately • issued
for enrolling in the military service of the
country the name -of every inhabitant of Si-
cily capable of bearing arms, without excep-
tion of rank ; and troops were dispersed in
all directions to attack those places which still
adhered to their dependence 'on Naples. In the
preceding advices Messina and Trapanti alone
were mentioned as in that predicament, but it is
now understood that Catania and Syracuse take
the same side.
