FROM THE MORN,ING PAPERS.

[Morning Post.]

TRIAL OF THE QuEEN.—One witness only has
been examined, and he not to the conclusion of
his distressing testimony. When he came to be
confronted with the. accused Queen, a feeling
which we shall not attempt to analyse, produced
a very striking effect upon her. She exhibited a
strong emotion, uttered his name with an almost
frantic shriek, and in an instant fled precipitately
front that place where she had declared it was her
intention to remain during the whole examinations
in support of the charge. We will put no construc-
tion upon this extraordinary fact, which it will be
seen produced an electric effect upon, the House.
Every man will explain it according to his own
opinion; but we fear that "it cannot be very ex-
tensively interpreted in a way favourable to the
plea of innocence. Should the testimony of
Theodore remain unobliterated, even to a hun-
dredth part of its " damning proof," it will in-
deed come like repentance upon the multitude,
how much, the King has borne, and how much
sacrificed for the public tranquillity. It will,
for the first-time, be confessed, that it was a bless-
ing. which snatched the Princess Charlotte away
—indeed, it does seem that the premature death
of this hope of Britain was, among the inscruta-
ble decrees of Providence, a mercy to save her
from pangs far worse than death. The inter-
preter employed on this occasion fulfills his duty
in the ablest manner. Two 'or three times the
Queen's Counsel seemed to think the .mode .of
translating questions erroneous ; but in every in-
stance an explanation proved that this functionary
was strictly accurate. Indeed, as the proof
turns on broad facts,.and not on difficult expres-
sions, it is evident that the most substantial jus-
tice is attainable withotit any of those fanciful
embarrassments which the Party Journals chose
to anticipate. During the present proceedings
the Lords deliver their sentiments sitting.
It will be seen by our Parliamentary Report
that Lord Liverpool in the House of Peers, and
Lord Castlereagh iu the Commons, gave very sa-
tisfactory explanations relative to the pacific rela-
tions of 'this Country with Spain.—(

[Morning Chronicle.]

We are assured that Mr. Canning is charged
with an important mission to the Court of Vienna.
He passes through' the Netherlands, with the
view of conferring with the KING on the subject
of the recent negociations on the subject of the
Indian Archipelago : but the main object is to
express to the Emperor of Austria the sentiments
of the British Cabinet as to the views which his
Imperial Majesty has on Italy.
It is confidentially asserted in Paris, that one
of the objects of the last audience which
Prince ESTERHAZY, the Austrian Ambassador to
our Court,, had- with his MAJESTY: was to make
known to the King of ENGLAND that the five years
.mprisonment of Bonaparte, agreed on in 1815,
having expired, Austria would no longer be a
party to his detention, and would no longer send
out a Commissioner, in which sentiments Russia
con curre d.--(ibid.)

We are authorized to state, that Sir Francis
Colombine Daniel, M.D. has accepted the ap-
pointment of Treasurer to the Medical Board
established by Messrs. COOPER and Co. at Char-
lotte House, Surrey.—Messrs. COOPER and Co.
haYe frequently inserted Letters from various
individuals who have been radically cured,
not only' of Ruptures, but of other dan-
gerous diseases, too often deemed incurable by
Professional men, whose practice is confined.—/
The late Duke of Bedford unfortunately lost his
life in a few- how- sr by a strangulated Hernia ;
Mr. Mills, of the Kent-road, also lost his life in
a few hours ; Mr. Shearman, of Mile End, was also
afflicted for many years, and many, many others,
whose names will never appear without their re-
quest. Mr. Johnson, of the Borough, who had been
17 months under the care of several eminent sur-
geons, with a most dangerous disease, and whbse
life 'was giyen over, as appeared by his affidatit
before Mr. Alderman Wood, then Lord Mayot-,
,and whose case has been seen by more than 100 sur-
geons, was in a few weeks restored to perfect health.
Such are the proceedings at the Medical Board,
Charlotte House, Charlotte-street; Blackfriar's-
road ; and Woodstock Rouse, near Bond-street,
under the immediate direction of Messrs. COOPER
and Co., who are consulted daily from eight in
the morning until eight in the evening,—Me-
chanics haVe advice gratis every evening from
six to eight, and on Sunday mornings until
twelve o'clock.

CORN-EXCHANGE, AUG. 21.—The supply of
Wheat was small this morning, and that chiefly
consisting of land carriage samples from Essex
and Kent, and the unsettled state of the weather,
together with very unfavourable reports of the
new Crops, produced an increased demand, at
an advance of full 2s. per quarter on the prices
of this day se'maight ; Barley is 2s. per quarter
lower ; and Oats were` exceedingly dull in sale
at a decline of 45., in consequence of the opening
of the Ports, on which account Beans have de-
clined from 2s. to 3s. per quarter; in other arti-
cles there Is no alteration.

PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUG.

- -
Strangers were admitted at a quarter after
nine.• The pressure Was not greater than on
former days. At a quarter before ten o'clock
the Loan CHANCELLOR arrived, and prayers were
immediately read. The Judges arrived shortly
after.

SPANISH AFFAIRS.
Previously to commencing the proceedings of
the day, Lord HOLLAND rose to put a question
to the Noble Earl (Liverpool) respecting our re-
lations with Spain. He wished to know whether,
with respect to the Memorial which was address-
ed to the Allied Powers. by the Court of Russia,
such an answer had been given by our Govern-
ment as ought to have been, namely, reprobating
the principles it avowed Also, whether a. com-
munication had been made to Spain, stating such
answer to have been given, and expressing our
congratulations at the change which had taken
place, and the prospect of the blessings they, the
Spanish people, were likely to obtain under a
free Government ? He would further ask, what
the engagements, were which it appeared from
that paper'had been entered into by tke Allied
Powers, and whether this country was a party to
them ?

Lord LivEarooL said, he knew of no engage-
ments of the kind alluded to by the Noble Lord :
and that if such existed, this country was no
party to them, Thq communications which had
taken place between, this country and' Spain,
merely went to prove the desire of his Majesty's
Ministers to keep up a good understanding, and
to maintain the relations of peace and amity
with Spain ; and to express a hope that the 'pro-
ceedings now going on under the Cortes may lead
to a happy adjustment of the atfairs and promote
the welfare of the Spanish nation..
• Lord HOLLAND would not press the subject
further on the Noble Lord after the answer which
he had given. He however took-Credit to him-
self for having put the questions, which had pro-
duced an explanation that must be 'regarded as
highly creditable to his Majesty's Government.
CHARGES AGAINST THE QUEEN.
The names of the Peers. having been 'called.
over, apologies were made for Lords 13osTox and
MONTI'ORT ; Lords MIODLETON,and BLESSINGTON
were defaulters.

The LORD- CHANCELLOR directed the Counsel
on the Bill of Pains and Penalties to be called,in.
At twenty-five minutes after' ten, tile Counsel
for and against the Bilrappeared at the Bar.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then proceeded as
follows :—" 1 have now, my Lords, to resume
the statement of the facts that will be adduced in
evidence before your Lordships in support of the
charges against her Majesty. I believe it will
be in the recollection of your Lordships, that
when I left off in my statement on Saturday, I
had brought her Majesty,-then Princess of Vales,
and her suite, to Catania, in Sicily, .and before I
continue the narrative, it is my duty to supply
an addition to the statement made with respect
to her Majesty's suite. It will be in your Lord-
ships' recollection that I stated, that Dr. Holland
was attached to her Majesty's suite, but I did not
mention the time when that gentleman- left her
Majesty. Your Lordships might lie under the
erroneous impression that Dr. Holland, continued
in her .MaSesty's service all this time ; the fact is
the Doctor quitted her service at Milan, when
her Majesty went to Venice upon the tour I have
already described, in April or May, 1815. I
should also have stated, that about that period
two other gentlemen were taken into 'her
service, Mr. Howland and Mr. Flynn, who had
both been in her Majesty's service before.
.Her Majesty proceeded from Catania to Au-
gusta, in Sicily. My Lords, I have already
stated to your Lordships, that during her Ma-
jesty's stay at Catania, she_ had procured for the
person named Bergami the title of Knight of
Malta. Soon after her arrival at Augusta, not
satisfied with conferring upon him thin honour,
'she procured for him a still higher title, namely,
that of the Baron Della Francina ; and after
that, she always 'addreSsed him by the title of
Ilaron.'' I am not aware that even this additional
distinction could have justified that familiar in-
tercourse, which I have already described to
your Lordships as having taken place bet'ween
this person and her Majesty, and which I appre-
hend must satisfy your Lordships, not only that
the most disgusting, indecencies had taken place,
but that repeated acts of adultery had been
committed. I should have stated to your Lord-
ships, that during her Majesty's stay at Catania
and Augusta, her Majesty sat for her :picture.
Two were taken, one of which was presented
by her to Bergami. In Ond she' was drawn
in' the character of Mary Magdalen, with her
person considerably expoSed ; and in, the other
she was drawn as a Turkish female, and in this
picture the infant Vittoria was introduced •in
a Turkish dress. A picture of Bergami was
also taken for her Majesty in a Turkish dress ;
and this picture was presented by her Majesty
to Bergarni. My Lords, as 1 have already stated,
it is impossible that these extraordinary marks of
favour could have been, bestowed.upon the Courier
imclnitia
ostßergami,itupoln any other ground than that the
intercourse had taken place, which
I have described. From Augusta, her Majesty
set sail for Tunis, in Africa, and she afterwards
visited Greece, and for that purpose she hired a
vessel called a polacca. It will be important for
