Marlette Demont. Instead of this they went to
the comparatively slight groond of general cha.-
racter. Here, too, the did not produce any
of the English LadiesAvhom they have' so of-
ten vouched as having visited her Majesty.
They did not call Lady Holland, 'Lady 0;:-
ford, &c. &c. whose testimony would be equal
to the laudari a laudato viro.. But they produced
whom ? A Colonel of the rebel French army of
the Loire, who having fought in that army by
which the Queen's brother was kilted, and hav-
ing fled from the defeat of Waterloo, found a
refuge in the' hospitable walls .''.:PeSaro, and a
consolation in the kind patronage Of the future
Queen of England. This Noble Colonel was
promoted to an equality with Betgami, the Ex-
Courier. If he has any 4ratitude:, the least he
caii do is to give
,his Patroness a ,good character.
He, however, confesses that during the whole
time he was at Pesaro he neither brought his own
wife thither, nor did he ever see one English
Lady th.'re! This fact speak's volumes.

Tut QCEEN.—The Judges yesterday morning
gave their unanimous opinion upon the questions
referred to them on the preceding day, that evi-
dence could not be adduced by the Queen's
Coulizel respecting certain acts of Sacchi—this
person having appeared at the Bar as a witness
for the prosecution, and not having been then cross-
examined by the Queen's Counsel upon the sub-
ject of these particular circumstances. The Chief
Justice having pronounced the opinion in the
name of his Learned Brethren, the Lord Chan-
cellor inquired •of the Counsel for the Queen,
whether they would recal Sacchi to the Bar, but
Mr. Brougham declined to do so. Lord Grey
still insisted, that,- as the object of the examina-
tion which had been interrupted on the preceding
day was to ascertain the character of the measures
pursued by the Milan Commission, the examina-
tion ought to be pursued ; but the sense of the
House was against the Noble Earl, the Contents
being only 51, while the Non-Contents were 150.
This decision being intimated to the Queen's
Counsel, yr. Brougham apprised the House that
' for the present he should not produce any further
evidence to prove the conspiracy, but proceed to
another branch of the defence. It is, we think,
to be lamented that the techicalities of ordinary
practice should have raised difficulties so insur-
mountable by their Lordships, in elucidating the
alleged conspiracy, in which the present pro-
ceedings are said to have. originated. We are
aware of the respect, and even veneration due to
the principles .of practice established in the
Courts of Common Law, how admirably they are
suited in-ordinary cases to attain to the discovery
of truth, and what advantage must in general arise
from adhering to them, even in the present pro:-
ceedings; but these proceedings differ essen-
tially, in principle and in conduct, from the daily
occurrences for which the ordinary rules of prac-
tice are suited, and it evinces wisdom no less to
dev'iate, when occasion requires, from even. es-
tablished corms, than it does to apply the maxims
of experience, when the occurrence of similar
circumstances justifies their adoption.

Another witness was examined on behalf o
the Queen. His name is Olivieri, and he was a
Colonel, first in the service of Eugene Beauhar-
nois, Buonaparte's Viceroy of Italy,. and next
under the Ex-Emperor himself, with whom he
fought in the ever-memorable battle of Waterhio.
It appears by his evidence, that after the army
to which he belonged had been subdued by our
illustrious Wellington, and disbanded for their
perfidy, he returned to Italy, where he soon
got introduced to the Princess of Wales, and
became so great a favourite with her, that he was
taken upon her establishment, without having
for some time any regular office ; but was at
length made Joint Chamberlain with Bergami,
in which situation he continued till February
last. lie has been here about two months. On
his arrival he was sent for by the Qill,Pll, and has
ever since resided in the same house with her
Majesty. In this circumstance there is some-
thing of rather awkward appearance ; at least,
were it on the other side of the question, we
should never hear the last of the exclamations
against the unfairness of the witness being daily
entertained and in constant intercourse with the
principal ; but we suppose we must take it. for
granted, that though such conduct would be
unwarrantable on the part of the prosecution,
it is Perfectly correct and proper on the
part of the Queen, as neither her Majesty
nor her partisans can otherwise act than
in the genuine spirit: of purity, virtue, and
justice. In regard to the conduct of her Ma-
jesty, this gallant Colonel spoke chiefly of
scenes of formality ; but acknowledged that he
never saw any English Ladks at her table. lie
never saw Bergami's wife at her Majesty's Villa ;
nor was his own wife ever invited there. Thus
we find it admitted, that though such a variety
of persons were invited and lived with her 11,1:,_
jesty, the wives of her Joint Chamberlains never
formed any part of her company. The main
serious charges against her Majesty are Com-
pletely untouched by any part of the evidence of
this witness, and all the tremendous facts remain
of course in full force.

PRIVATE AND AUTHENTIC (OR tEhPONDENCE.

PARIS, OCT. 16.—We did not imagine that
the Liberals themselves would allow a distinc-
tion between the Friends, of -the Charter and the
Public; it is our old friend KERATRY who has
let the cat out of the bag. He says in his
" Courtier," if every Friend of the Charter buy
one of TouQuET's snuff-boxes, the 200,000 will
be sold before the. Public knows any-thing of
the matter. We have long known, that the
Public, by which we mean the mass of the na-
tion, is not tb be confounded with the class which
M. K. calls the Friends of the Charter; this class
he designates as the enemy of public tranquillity ;
it regards the Charter as a weapon of attack and
defence,- it is the enemy of that which is ;• it is a
wild Theorist, preaching peace and good will to-
wards men, founded on principles which when
put in practice, produce anarchy and massacres,
and when they see the result of their own prin-
ciples they exclaim, who would have thought
it ? They assert power to be dangerous in the
hands of moral force, and would place it in the
hands of physical force ; they would teach the
horse to refuse the bit and harness, and the ox-to
gore with his horns whoever would put the yoke
upon him. The experence of the Revolution
has not cured them, but rather strengthened
them in their detestation of all authority, .divine
and human. NAPOLEON, with his Iron R9d, bent
them to obedience, and they would 'fain revenge
themselves on a legitimate Government for what
they suffered under the Usurper.
We must be understood in this censure, pr -

cisely in the sense M. liEtt ATRY has the words,
" Friends of the Charter" and Public.—The
Frien.ls of the Charter may be divided into two
Classes, the real and the pretended. The former
embraces the great mass of the population ; the
other is almost entirely confined to the class of
Pamphleteers, the w auld-be oracles of the times,
beardless boys just escaped from College, and
worthies who let out their patriotism to hire, a
kind of literary Jew Bail. Your readers may
perhaps not understand what this can mean ; I
will explain it. -
By the law, every Periodical Work must have
a responsible Editor, who must answer in his
purse and person for any libels inserted in the
Paper. The inventive genius of the Liberals.got
over this difficulty ; they wished to write libels
and not fear the consequences; hence they got
poor miserable wretches who were .starving to
become, for 16s. a week, responsible for all they
published, promising if. the poor devil was sent
to gaol to maintain him there. DIDAULT, one of
these wretches, did not know how to express him-
self in tolerable French before the Court, and M.
LcoaAciEcix, the responsible Editor of The Re-
nominee, condemned for lib As that appeared lit
that Paper, was imprisoned for it, and while lit
prison-, he became the responsible Editor of The
Courrier, on condition, We believe, of giving him
half-a-crown a day while he continues in gaol.;
for The Renomince being gone to the dogs, of
course his stipend is so too—and these are the
great Reformers of the acre, the political Yahoos
who squire their filth with i►apunity. Who cannot
but admire them !
A constitutional opposition to the encroach-
ments of power is highly. praiseworthy, but a
systematic, resistance of Government, and the
constant endeavour to elude the opelation of the
laws, has nothing honourable in it.
