[Morning Post.]
THE QUEEN.

This evening the question relative to the de-
sired production of the names of the witnesses
against the Queen, will be formally discussed in
the House of Lords. Having already pretty
fully expressed our opinion upon this subject,
we deem it unnecessary to offer any thing
further at present. Their Lordships will pro-
bably be inclined to agree with us, not only with
respect to the inexpediency of such a production
upon the principle of substantial justice, but also
in regard to the probable consequences of so indis-
-creet and unnecessary a disclosure at the present
moment. The treatment experienced by the poor fo-
reigners at Dover will doubtless serve as h warning
of what would happen if the names and residences
of witnesses in this country should be discovered.
We are anxious to avoid the necessity of em-
plOying force for the protection of persons sum-
moned to forward the due ends of justice ; unlike
some of our patriotic and liberal cotemporaries,
who express their surprise that Government
should not employ the military .as well as civil
1 power tosprotect the Italian witnesses, instead of
sending them to Holland for personal safety !
According to the consistent logic of these Gen-
tlemen, we ought now (regardless of the odium
which they would not fail to heap upon such line
of conduct) to protect by military force, those
cc wretches" (as they denominated them in the
first instance) whom on their landing they'openly
proscribed, and pointed at, to the savage mob, as
proper objects of the most sanguinary vengeance.

[Morning Chronicle.]
The consideration of the manner-in which
Ministers h-ave proteeded from the 'lwo-inning
towards the. Queen, is sufficient to shew that al-
though she may_ demand justice, she must not
expect favour. But they say, when they re-
fuse what we are apt to call justice in a-homely
way, that they must be guided by precedent,
and that they cannot,
.though with great sor-
row, comply with her requeSt as to being
furnished with a list of witnesses and copies
of the depositions, because it is without
precedent. Yet it is at least a very curious
if not a- suspicious circumstance, that when
they feel themselves obliged, as they admit,
by the necessity of the case, to depart from pre-
cedent, it is always, by some accident, against
the Queen s yet when they stick to it, and
starchly, it is likewise always against her—a cu-
rious'coincidence, at least in the fate of this un-
protected Lady. But let us examine this ques-
tion a little further. We suppose that they could
find no precedent for the. Milan Commission, and
therefore they made one with .a decision and a
boldness that if responsibility be ;itit-4.;cousti-
tutional word, it must be a fearful' ,
But here again we see how this precedent
of the Milan Commission operates to the
prejudice of the Queen ; had she been a
common subject, and Mr. Cook a common police
Magistrate, or 'an active country Justice, she
would have been summoned, as in a criminal case,
on a warrant, and would have seen the person
who made the charges, and have had some idea
of the evidence to be brought against her before
she was committed. In the Queen's case the
charge is made before the Milan Commissioner
Without notice to the opposite party, and ' the
Queen, or at least her character, is committed to the,
custody of the Green-bag, and then the evidence
is sent to the Grand Jury of the House of Lords
as if from a previous hearing of the parties. But
even here .the precedent fails them. The Grand
Jury is not content with the written 'depositions
of witnesses taken by the Magistrate, in the
presence of the accused party, but they have the
witnesses brought before them, that they may
see their faces, andexamine them viva voce.

[Morning Herald.]
In the House of Peers, last night, Lord Ellen-
borough moved the second reading of the Bill to
amend the Marriage 'Act of the 26th Geo. H.
His Lordship entered into some detail of cases,
showing the hardship and cruelty of the law as
it at present stands in its possible consequences,
and as it affects the laws of property, the honour
of females, the rights of children, and the inte-
rests of morality and, religion. The Lord Chan-
cellor opposed the Bill, on the grounds of the
lateness of the period at which it was introduced,
and it! affecting the rights•of third persons, as
well as having a retrospective operation. -Some
further discussion foliowed, and a division took
place, when there appeared for the second read-
ing of the Bill 32, against it 9.6, consequently the
motion was carried contrary to the expressed
opinion of the Lord Chancellor, by a majority
of 6. Scarcely a day has passed for some time
that the Queen's case has not been agitated, re-
gularly or incidentally, in either House, until
yesterday. This day Lord Erskine's motion,
for furnishing a list of witnesses against the
Queen to her Counsel, will be discussed in the
House of Lords---it will, probably, be the last
discussion on the subject until the 17th of

August.

[As we cannot more effectually expose the vul-
gar malignity of The Old Times than by quoting
its own productions we this day insert the-infa-

mons attack upon the VICE-CHANCY:LT.On, *hose
character we respect from personal knowledge,
which appeared in that apostate Paper on Wed-
nesday last, particularly as it affords an opportu-
nity of refuting its falsehood by the subjoined
article, taken from The New Times of this day.]

" We have before expressed our astonishment at that pact
of the preamble of the Bill against the Queen which reflects
upon Bergami's humble situation on his first entering her
Majesty's service. It is not, surely, of itself a crime in her
Majesty to elevate or prOmote an active, faithful, honest
servant ; neither is it an offeneJe in Bergami to have been
orginally in a menial situation. But if it was meant to be

iferred that a wan could not he the object of so extensive

a promotion except o►l account of improper familiarities,
the history of that very person who is supposed to have
advised the Milan Commission, and who stood so high
in the confidence of the King, would of itself falsify the sug-
gestion. His birth and situation in life were originally
more-lsumble than those of Bergarni, and yet his rise throws
no imputation upon those who advanced him. The person
of whom we speak originally swept the door before the house
of sir Robert Taylor, the fathvof the present Mr. Michael
A.. Taylor his behaviour was inch as to induce his master
to promote him, and he made him a Poll•clerk at an clec7

lion : about this time be attracted the notice of Mr. Grab, as,
the futUre Judge, who assisted him, and recommended him
to apply to legal study : his activity and intelligence, in
this and similar occupations, still • pressed him up into
higher stations, till he became what we now see him.—
The rreamble of the Bill, if it meant to afiix Bergami's
advancement. to the Queen, or • even to himself, as a
trnne,• should have stated not only the advancement,
but the unworthiness of the person advanced; and from such
an allegation secret or suspicious services might have been
inferred ; but the mere facts that he was once a Menial ser-
vant, and is now the Queen's Chamberlain, decorated by Fo-
reign Courts with certain of their Orders, prove nothing;
and it was an invidious course of proceeding to mention them.
The disgrace, therefore, which was meant to result, has justly
fallen upon the heads of those who brought the story forward.
Berganti s talents and industry would have entitled him to
the same promotion in the service of any discerning Prince in
Europe."—(T/se Old Times, July 12.)

[Nerio Tunes.]

We regret to notice the scandalous abuse of a
high legal character in a certain shameless Print.
The Journal in question asserted on Wednesday
that the birth and situation in life of the Vice
Chancellor of England " were originally more
humble than those of Bergami," and that the
Vice Chancellor was originally in a menial situa-
tion, and swept the door before the house of the
late Sir Robert Taylor. Yesterday the Journa-
list was forced to eatlis words, and to insert a.
totally different account ; and yet, after all, he,
concluded with his usual apology for falsehood,
viz. that " the first statement-came from a' person
of undoubted veracity" ! ! !—lt is proper that we
should look a little closer into the misrepresenta-
tions of this malevolent writer. Sir JOhn Leach
has elevated himself in life by the acquisitioh and
display of superior abilities in a profession ho-
nourable to hirriself and beneficial to so-
ciety. His father, who certainly kept a shop
in a provincial town, carried on an extensive
business there, was a person of great respecta-
bility, and displayed at once his judgment and
liberality In. giving this son an education to fit
him fOr sustaining the character of a Gentleman.
The son was placed' as a pupil with that eminent
ArChitect the late Sir Robert Taylor ; but hav-
ing had occasion several times to visit Mr. (after-
wards Sir Arthur) Pigott, the latter observed
the bent of his young friend's genius to lie strongly
toward the study of the law, and therefore advised
hint to embrace it as a profession. The wisdom of
this advice was soon evinced in the distinguished
figure Which Mr. Leach made at the, Bar. lie rose
gradually in his profession ; he entered into the
House of Commons, where he distinguished him-
self on several occasions, as a clear and codVincing
speaker ; and when he was at length placed in
the eminent judicial situation which he now fills,
public opinion distinctly approved the fitness of
the appointment. Such was the mode by which
Sir John Leach elevated himself in life, and
it is the proudest boast of our free Constitu-
tion,- that it affords facilities for- these honour-
able exertions, and opens to them the highest
rewards. It is with extreme pain and disgust
that we turn to the other side of the contrast,
but we are compelled to do so, in order to cor-
rect the wilful mis-statements of her Majesty's
pretended friends, and to shew the indignity which
would be offered to any honourable Englishman,
by comparing him to this despicable Italian.
Bergami has been spoken of,-as if he had been a
Nobleman by birth : he was a vagabond in the
lowest -class of society,. hired to perform the,
basest menial offices. He was raised from this'
situation, covered with stars and crosses, and
set down at table with the very individuals
on whom he had waited as a servant. We do_
not at present' mean to intimate any- opinion
on the motives which may have led to his be-
ing thus distinguished by an Illustrious Princess.
Undoubtedly those motives may not have been
criminal ; but still there is the broad fact of a
Queen's taking a running fobtMan to -sit at her
table. We know very well what would have
been said if one the Chambermaids at Carlton
House had :been raised to the rank of Countess
and introduced at Court ; but God forbid that
the Queen's conduct should be judged With the
same want of candour WhiCh all our English Li-
berals evince in speaking of the King! HeeMa-
jesty will no doubt in due time explain why she
distinguished this fellow with her special favour ;
but in the meanwhile let not. an En9,liSh. Judge
be insulted by comparing him with an Italian
Footman let us not sacrifice to faction and pre-
judice all our preconceived notions of fitness'arid
delicacy: ,

As we wish to promote the welfare, as *ell as
to record the general sentiments of the several
Provincial Towns, manifested in their respec-
tive Journals, we have extracted the following
Letter from The Chester Courant of Tuesday
•
last, and hope, if the statement it contains is well
founded, that so ancient and.respectable a Town
as Chester will receive due attention from those
to whom its direction is entrusted. The Letter
could not have been addressed to. a Gentleman
more distinguished for public spirit, local attach-
ment, and genuine patriotism :
