French army to have been that of a serjeant.
Forti is produced to contradict Sacchi, by way ,
of inference : and Lieutenant Flynn is to de-
pose. to her Majesty's conduct on board the po-
lacca. For reasons sufficiently obviou, we shall
be very cautious of making any remarks which
may assist future witnesses in patching up
the weak parts of the defence. We have, be-
sides, laid it down as a rule to ourselves to
impute no evil motives to the witnesses pend-
ing the proceedings. They are during that
time under the protection of the House, and
whatever we may think of the prevarication or
falsehood of any of them, to charge them with
such uffences before the decision of the case,
would be to render a fair trial impossible. For
the present, we must of course assume that there
was some error in the statement on which the
Solicitor-General proceeded in his cross-exami-
nation. But if it should hereafter turn out that
Dr. Holland did make the observations above
mentioned, what language could be strong enough
to mark the contempt and detestation due to
such conduct ? Certain it is, that letters from
persons in Italy did reach England, fraught with
the most scandalous stories of her Majesty, and
that travellers arriving from that country did ex-
press themselves in language too coarse to be
repeated. If there were spies, they were the
spies ; if there was conspiracy, they were the
conspirators; neither the King nor the Govern-
ment would have moved, had not the scandals of
these persons first awakened suspicion, and ren-
dered the Milan Commission necessary. Now,
if such persons can turn round and deny all that
they then said, not only „must their portion be
infamy and scorn in the opinion of the world,
but they ought to be visited with the most rigo-
rous punishment of the law. Nations are not to
be brought to the verge of civil convulsion for
the sake of gratifying a petty contemptible turn
for scandal ; nor, if their first statements are
true, can they be allowed to retract them with
impunity. We do not attribute conduct so dis-
graceful to Dr. Holland, or to any other indivi-
dual that hag been examined. We only argue
on a case that may have occurred, and if it has
occurred, we trust it will be exposed to univer-
sal detestation.

[The Times.]
It is perplexing to guess what course Ministers
may adopt on the present trying occasion. The
foul calumnies invented, the wicked perjuries
sworn against the QEEEN, disperse and vanish Ix-
fore the light of truth. Yesterday was another
glorious day for her Majesty, and a joyous day
to her people. T.ie evidence is clear, satisfac-
tory, and decisive ; and, which is hardly cre-
dible, her Majesty's Counsel have still witnesses
after witnesses remaining, to prove and establish,
over and over again, her innocence. We have
no reserve on this side—no bounds need be set to
the production of evidence, but the tardy and un-
willing admission of the Queen's enemies them-
selves that they have enough. On the contrary,
they have witnesses in their Cotton-garden de-
pot, whom they have never dared to produce.—
Heaven and earth ! what must the refuse be
when Sacchi, Signor Non Ricordo, and the
Countess Colombier (Dumont), are the elite?

[British Press.]
The examination of Witnesses on behalf of the
QUEEN was pursued yesterday at the Bar of the
House of Lords with a success commensurate
with the most sanguine wishes of the Public. In-
dependent of the satisfaction which every inge-
nuous mind must feel at the preservation of in-
nocence and the developement of truth, the
people of England may also enjoy a selfish gra-
tification in seeing the disgrace and infamy sought
to be cast upon her Majesty's fame and character
flung back upon the party with whom they had
originated. They must be -aware that not the
Queen's honour and dignity alone are staked
upon the issue of this trial—that guilt cannot be
imputed to the Princess of Wales without re-
flecting disgrace upon her adopted country—and
that the Queen of Great Britain cannot be de-
graded without tarnishing the lustre of the regal
diadem. When the Queen magnanimously re
turned to England, and claimed the right of an
open trial, when she indignantly repelled the
offer of a large pension as the price of her
honour, we admired her fearlessness of, cha-
racter, and drew from the firmness' of her
demeanour an omen of her future triumph ;
but now she is entitled no less to the gratitude
than to the admiration of her Country, for in
asserting her own fame she has also relieved the
moral character of England from a grievous re-
proach. had she accepted the offer of Ministers
the condition upon her part had been eternal in-
famy. After such a compromise who could have
contradicted the fabrications of Majocci, and
Sacchi, and Dumont, as they alight be doled
out from time to time in the foul columns of the
Treasury Journals ? Who could have repelled
the insiduous sneee, the affected sorrow of the
Ministers and their followers, lamenting over
the infatuated passion of the Queen, and ,the
grievous lot of her illustrious Consort in having
so frail and so ungrateful a rib ? Who could have
,yentared to fling back 'the lie upon every pre-
sumptuous foreigner who should dare to couple
the name of our Queen with guilt, and load our
national character with infamy ? From these
her Majesty's firmness has saved us, ate, she
will have her •reWard in the. recorded triutn.phO
her innocence, :and in the n
ra• atitank .
lrer people.
