hound to say he could not take the adultery as
proved ; but the circumstance of her going to the
Opera only accompanied by Bergami and Du-
mont, and many others which occurred there,
afforded a cause of suspicion ; but this was fol-
lowed by other circumstances which admitted of
no doubt—the introduction of the Countess of
Oldi, in a secret and mysterious manner, into the
family ; the admitting Bergami to dine at her
table at Belenzoni, when all the other servants
were. excluded. Soon after he was promoted
to be Equerry, and before six months had ex-
pired, he is seen by Lord Guildford alone with
-her Majesty in a boat on the Lake. It had been
said, there was nothing novel in a Princess ad-
vancing a favourite from the lowest rank to the
‘highest. Ile was ready to acknowledge the truth
.of this assertion ; but, he would ask, was there
an instance on record of a courier being, in the
short space of six months, advanced -to the rank
of Baron Franchini, a Knight of Malta, and
.Chamberlain to her Royal Highness; his sis-
ter -taken in as 11laid of Honour; whilst one
•of his brothers was retained as a stable-boy ;
and another-sister as a. servant having the care
• -of the linen ; his wife being entirely excluded.—
But he *would pursue this course and come to the
order of K nighthood,instituted by her Royallligh-
ness, in which', whilst her protegt".e,Vir. . Austin, was
only a simple Knight, Bergami was appointed
Grand Master of the Order, and this honour was
entailed upon his posterity without limit. How
was this extraordinary preference to be account-
ed for ? Not, he contended, by a suspicious pre-
ference,•but by giving credit to the existence of an
infatuated passion and attachment ; an attach-
ment which no one could doubt existed long before
they went on board the polacre -; and whilst on
board the polacre, could any •one say there was
not a continual seeking of opportunity? He was
ready to acknowledge that fife testimony on each
side was very highly coloured, but not more so
on one part than on the other ; and,- taking
ilownam and Dumont, as he had before stated,
'he would only claim -credit for her where she was
confirmed, or where she might have been contra-
dicted, and was not. Hewould. ask their Lordships
to look at all the circumstances of this case;
the advancement of Bergarni and his family ;
his constant attendance on'her Majesty; the
invariable arrangement of the beds, and other
circumstances ; and could, it for a moment be
contended that though at the time they
.went
on board the polacca, there was no judicial
proof, there was not 'sufficient to amount to a
moral conviction of what nature the attach-
ment between these parties was ? Another
circumstance worthy of attention, was, that
of all her old-attendants quit-ting her. Sicard Was
sent home from Naples; and she then. told Dr.
-Holland he might take a tour for six or; eight
weeks- in Switzerland. These things occurred
just at the period when Madame Oldi was intro-
duced into the family, and .Bergami became more
closely attached to her Royal Highness..
At this period of the Noble Lord's speech, a
Noble Peer, adverting to the hour, half past 4,
observed, their Lordships' hour- of adlow-nment
was passed,-and expiessed, a wish to know from
the Noble Earl, if it was probable he would con
dude his address to-night.

Lord LIVERPOOL said, he must unavoidably
still occupy a considerable portion of
_their Lord-
sbips' time.

The Peer who formerly spoke, then proposed
that their Lordships should adjourn till to-mor-
row morning, which was agreed to.---Adjourned
at Half-past Four.
