opposition to that of our senses—it is incredible. He would
actually have your Lordships believe that the Queer, who
had free access to the roots' of Iterganti by another passage,
preferred prissiirg through his (Majocci's) chamber,. while he
was asleep; with a fire which lighted the room. and that in
her way from her own apartment to Bet pan's, whither it
was said she Was gaing to commit adultery; that she stopded
to loud: at MajacCi's face, to ascertain whether or not he was-
asleep. 'This was a story which Was very likely to ematiate
m fro a man who was tolerably acqnainted with the stag ies
of a midnight robber, for such an intruder alone would stop
to took at the face of a sleeping man, in the manner describ-
ed in his evidence. The Learned Counsel fur the Qiieen
rested principally upon the very .esintradictory evidence
which this. matt, Majocci, gave respecting his getting into
the Queen's service. It the testimony of a Witnes4. were in-
validated on one idult, It was sutficient,-and the Learned
Comm., declared, that out of his own mouth, he would
prove his falsehood, Whets requested to state if he ever wish-
ed to go hck—if lie had ever asked to return inter her Royal
Highness's service, he does not remember.; but when asked
if he did not apply to Count Schayini' to procure his re-ad-
mission, he believes he did, but it was hi joke. When asked
it lie did not several times apply to Hieronymus," Non mi
ricordo" Was the answer. 'l's'is " Non mt ri.,ordo," was a
gross perjury,•for he must have remembered. whether he did '
or not. At one time he declared he left the,Queen from hor-
ror of the persons by whom she was surrounded ; he said with
hon....am' ion, he would rather tat the grass than, go back to
the houses.. Now, was this the saying of an honest man,
or a credible witness, who had usade several applications
to go back.? Such was Nlajocci's evidence. With respect to
the Mate of the vessel, the impudent flippancy with which he
answered the questions that were put to him, was very far
from a proof of truth. The Learned Counsel world venture
to say that never was any witness better paid than this
man. He received at the rate ri 2,0001. per annual. Now in
the country to which this man Belonged, an individual pos-
sessing there or four hundred a year Was a rich man ; and if
the money this: 1111111 received were merely to requite him fur
the lois he sustained by 'his absence, in his own country his
wealth must be enormous ; his name would be resounded
throughout all Italy, and every person would be anxious to
have letteri of introduction to one so completely overflowing
with wealth. The same thing might be said of the Supercargo.
He had about one-fourth part leis to pay to his whole crew
than he received for swearing its this cause. But when he
had to do with Royal persons. he expected something more
Oats was actually bargained for and if he imagined so much
dependence might lir placed. upon the Queen's bounty, he
was, probably, not unmindful of that-which might flaw from
her Royal Consort, provided he did.his business well in this
cattseprovided uu accident prevented its terminating in a•
proper manner, But he had another. imincemeat, indepen-
dent of reward. Revenge also was his object. 'He had quar-
relled with Bergami„ who paid him his money: he had com-
plained to his Ambassador that Bergami had kept hack 13001.
from him, and Ise wastold by his Ambassador that he might go
to London and see about this business. This 13001. I warrant
(said the Learned Cousisel) he did not think be should be less
likely to succeed in obtaining for having a.hand in this cause.
Now with respect to the kissing Which was stated to have
taken place on board the vessel, sarely. this was too uncom-
mon an -accurrence,even in the Mediterranean, forany circum-
stance relating to it to be forgotten; and yet upon this sub-
ject the witness differed. The mats said (p. 99, Minutes)
that when ha saw the Queen 'on Bergami's kiite, it was not
on a gun, but near the, mast; but he added not one, word
about kissing. He thus forgot the must important point,
'and this forgetfulness would satisfy their .Lordships that the
alleged fact had not happened. The Captain, -on the other
hand, swore that 1 hey
.werr sitting °a a gun and kissing. But,
perhaps, they spoke of a different time. No; fur the Captain
said that his mate had seen it as well as himself. What was
-the reason at this important difference in the statements to
which they swore? It was this : they had been examined im-
mediately one after the other, and had not had thus to be
drilled,- and to settle what they each should say to make their
evidence tally. Hence they differed entirely, and it was
evident. that their story could not be true. And now what
were their. Lordships to think of this Captain? He was a
mass of stick strictness of conduct, and his -mate so "was
k
youth, and Naples and Messina such a garden.of Eden, that •
when he saw a Lady going near a man, not touching him, but
merely leaning' towards-the place where he was, he immedi-
ately dismissed Isis mate, because he was his distant.relation,-.
and he conceived hiMselibound to prinect the purity(of his
blood ! He never said that The Princess or Bergami had de-
sired him to go; Nu ; the' guilty pair did not require his
absence, but the conscientious Garzuclo, -reviving in the
Mediterranean, an example of virtue which ancient times
had never witnessed, could not suffer his mate to remain
where a Lady did not touch, but leaned towards
man ! Was the existence ,of such motive to he credited?
If it were not, their Lordships must believe that he told
a gratuitous falsehood : neither would his falsehood be quite
gratuitous, for he meant to earn his money by it—he meant.
to enlarge those uncertain remunerations which he expected
to receive from obliged Royalty, and to improve his chance of
recovering t base 13001. which be avowed he had come over
for the purpose of obtaining. One word more about these
witnesses, and lie should have done. He could not refrain
front admiring how well they had been drilled. He held them
to be models of the art; and no wonder, for they were the
best paid of the troop, and ought to be its crack specimens.
But there were fortunately limits to that art, otherwise, Giid
have pity on the innocent who wete thus attacked! They
could not tell the same story unless they had time to 'com-
pare anti to agree together, and that time not having been
allowed them, their discrepancies were proofs of their false-
hood. That they were the lineal tlesendatits of the Doc-
tors of Bologna no , one could doubt. Living, dining and
breakfasting together, with all their relationship of profession
and blood, master and mate as they were, yet on one subject,
they never chose to enter into conversation, and that subject
was this inquiry, of which they formed a part,- and which
occupied all. minds. fe"l' am not a mast," said the Captain',
"to speak on such A subject uut of Court. It would tint he
dc.ent, it world not he fitting that I should say out of doors
to any body, what passed within." Did you say a word to
your mate upon the subject ? he was asked—" Oh no."—
Did you agree together not to mention it?—" yes."
_What-
ever mischief .to society and to the 'morals of the country
might arise; in consequence, of the present ill ()awned proCeed-,
logs, it was some consalat ion to know that there was tune spot
in the universe, a little land of Goshem, secure from contami-
ant ion, where the modesi mat ronland the spotless virgin might
visit, and its the midst of t hose who were the great cunt' ibutors
to the matters which excite such general disgust., and Use wit-
nesses in the cause, hear nothing that could offend their de-
licacy or raise a, blush upon their cheeks., Susi strange to
say, that little spot was Cotton Garden, in the vicinity of
that House.—(Laughter.)—lf their Lordships chose to be-
lieve this, he did not wish to interrupt so pleasing an illu-
sion. But if they did not believe it, they must believe some-
thing else—they must believe that all the witnesses that had
said so, were perjured over and over again. Both Dumont
and Sacchi were dismissed. Both wished to be taken back.
They had since been connected- by the strongest ties, living
together -its the greatest intimacy on the naked mountains
of Switzerland; remaining together in this country, aud de-
liberating on the best mode of serving their employers. .They
had no'donbt access to books and stores of learning. They
did not boast, indeed, of their proficiency in the English
language, bait they rather wished to hare an interpreter, be-
cause it gave them an opportunity of considering and evading
questions. The other witnesses were so numerous that he did
not wish to observe upon theirs, but he begged to remind their
Linalships what sort of a person;Duinont was, according to her
own description. He slmuid take her own account, and he
did not wish for any other. She was a person of .a.romantic
turn, she was an euemy to marriage, and she said its her letter.
that she did not like mankind its the abstract ; she thought
We abstract Of mankind bad, and rather hated men, but still
she was the dear friend of Sacchi, whom she described as an
Italian Gentlemau. Unfortunately for, her, Sacchi did not
return the compliment by allowing her to be a Countess.
She loved sweet liberty and in pursuit of that Mountain
Nympb:, went to rove among her own hills, never coming
forward till Sacchi came to fetch her. She -was, upon the
whole, the most perfect model, the finest specimen of the
complete waiting maid ever -known. And what, he would
ask, could excel the fine -style of her writings? When she
wrote, her ideas flowed free amlcorrect—All Witt admirable

House, than the faces of-the seventy witnesses shipped off

.He prayed God that the Noble Peers would believe.lla-

-She was only false when she was disca aged and not take() back.
Then it' was she fell into the hands of one of the conspirators
against the Queen. This he collected from her own account of
herself. Ile did not-calumniate her. She had a sister of the
age of fifteen, and she did all slit could to place that virgin
sister tee a house, which, if her statement was trite, ought, in
the words of the Attorney7General, not to be c4,lled a pa-
lace, but a brothel. He could not believe any woman so
bad. She was innocent of all that he had stated. She (lid
right in wishing to get one sister, into the service of the Illus-
rious Person, and keep liar own situation, but being disgrace-
fully driven frnm the house, she came to join the Queen s ene-
mies. The Learned Gentleman then wentinto the evidence of
Sacchi, and contended.that his statement was nut woi thy ot
credit, He was a groom, and had been a private soldier in
the French army; but he was not objectionable on that ac-
count, his evidence was obviously false. The want of truth
on this subject was called a double entendre. His examina-
tion then tan thus:—

Q. Did you ever say that pm were. in a miserable situa-
tion, anti t hat you taxed yourself with ingratitude tathe best
of Mistresses. and Nfished to be restored to.the service pf•the
Princess?—A. Never.
Q Did von ever say that you were •in a distressed situa-
tion, Never.
Q Were you ever in a situation to require compassion ?
A. Never.
Q. Did yob ever ask any one to take compassion on you ?
A. it may he.
Q. Did you never say that von taxed yourself with ingrati-
tude to the best of Mistresses.?—A. Never.
Q. Is that letter in your own hand-writing Yes.
Q. Is that also in your hand-writing ?—A. Yes.
The letters (continued the Learned Gentleman) were then
read, amithey proved that the witness had taxed himself with
ingratitude;' but when he gave the answer to which he had
referred, he bad, unluckily for him, forgot that be had done
so, or did notlinow that such letters were in existence. It
might be argUed; that though he bad written that he taxed
himself with ingratitude, yet that he had not said so. But
what honest man would shadier and screen himself under this
pitiful quibble I—What man of probity would attempt to shel-
ter himself by saying that he had never said a thing, but that
he had written it 1.. And. then he came to a most provi-
dential accident. He used thele contradictory terms in con-
fortuity to the usage of the language, and because Provi-
dence was always watching to, protect that innocence which
was its care. Sacchi was asked —" Why did you change your
name ?" and he answered, because he had been told of a tu-
mult wbich had taken place in this country.. Their Lordships
knew that•the tumult he referred to was the treatment of the
-witnesses against the Queen at Dover. He was asked when he
came to England ? He answered, in July; but it turned out
not to be July last, which was the time the tumult actually
took place, but in July, 1819, twelve months heforethe tninult
occurred. These accidents alone formed a protection against
such base conspiracies as the present; and hut for which
accidents every cne of their Lordships was liable to be con-
victed to-morrow, The Learned Counsel read a pat t of the
evidence, in which the Attorney-General obtained from the
witness that he had changed his name in Paris,
_ before cant-
ing to this country. He afterwards said that he came here
in July, 1819, but the Attorney-General did not press the
point further, well knowing from his experience that he
might only make bad worse. Fortunately, however, their
'lordships did ; and he trusted they would well remember
the manner, the confusion, the embarrassment, the per-
plexity, with which he answered their questions, all bespeak-
ing the last shifts of a perjured man. At a subsequent pe-
riod, he was again examined to the change of name, when it
was as impossible to get him out of the potential mood, as
to bring hint front knavery to honesty. Another part of
the evidence on, this subject was then alluded to, in which
the witness (said the Learned Counsel) hail then become
doubtful on VOat be had before sworn so pointedly. Now
it was all mi,ckt where it hail been had, and a Gentleman
was said to have called on titre in Paris, with Crause the
Courier, who told him that lie might be in danger if he went
to Etii4land, tinder his own name, which was known in that
country ; Whereas he had before stated ,that he had heard of
the tumult at Dover. When he was .pressed upon this part
'of his evidenee iii the cross-i xaminalion, he had recourse to,
" I only repeat whit the'Gentleman told me." And he (Mr.
Brougham) had never seen a witness brought into a cor-
ner by his own prevarication and false swearing, who had
not adopted the same course. He would deny that any such
story could have been told to the witness. it was impos-
sible that the unknown Gehtleman who came with the well
known Grasse could have told it. It was a mere fiction of
the brain : it was as impossible that a man should have told
such .a thing by chance twelve months before it happened,
as it was that he should have written the Iliad by chance.
Unfortunately, since that time events had .happened which
we now well know and which we should never l'we to say we
did not know; and these had rendered tumults about wit-
nesses, against the Queen familiar to us. But what man, even
in his must fanciful mood, could, in 1819 have nn3gine'l
t hat' such things were likely to take place ? most now men-
tion that part of the esidence with which Bast alli had also

est allusion to it might be, yet he knew! that it could not be
avoided: Did their' Lordships think it very likely that any
• person in time Princess's situation would di, that which had been
represented, openly in the face of day, with a menial servant,
and without the slightest covering to conceal them? Would
they believe, that with the knowledge that the-courier was
travelling beside the carriage, and with the liability to have
the curtains opened by hint, she would remain in such a situa-
,tion, the discovery of which would blast her character, even
amangst the !mist eegrailed beings. But to believe Mr. Sac-
chi, their crednlity must be stretched malty degrees wide 4.
Fur with him this was nothing; if they believed hint, they
must believe this conduct to have been habitual! He himself
bad seen it continually—at all times, in the day and in the
night. This was beyond all credit. The mo abtiodoned of
her sex would have 'been disgtisted at it. From time position
in which thew hands were said to have been, em •'cr such
circumstances,
who u
' had nothing but a wish to discover trot it, and were
even if philosophers were to coma forward,
to say that it was possible to have occurred, he could scarcely'
believe it. They were represented to have been travelling.
at the rate of ten miles an huts r, over tlft rough roads
which were well known in that country, with their hamds,
crossed on each other ; yet, in spite of the continued jolting
of the carriage, when both had been asleep, and had conse-
quently lost the power of their limbs,—their bands Still con-
tinned exactly in the same position. Nate, suppose that he
should prove that the carriage in which they were travelling
was an English carriage, that the glasses were up, that throe
were spring blinds that could onlY'bk opened froai the inside
—supposing he should prove this, and supposing he shourd
prOve that Sacelii was not time only courier in attendance!
—They would have more of this. It might be 'asked,
why did not he call cm tain witnesses to speak to parti-
cular facts. Again and ai.oio he' would call on their
Lordships never to lose sight of this, for it was a cardinal
point, if not the cardinal point on which every thing turn-
ed, that the accuser in a case like this was bound to Knee
guilt, but it was not necessary fur the accused in every in-
stance to establish innocence. The witness had been asked--
Was any body else in the carriage?" His answer was,
Non mi ricordo." He wished their • Lordships to observe
the caution manifested in the answer thus give„. It might
hate been expected that a person telling of what
pretended to have seen would have well recollected whether
or not any body besides the pm ties Ite bad mentioned had been
present. It was the first remark that he would have made, and
the answer therefore whlwhichhe' had given, seemed to be one
that the witness had been instructed to make.' 'When a perqon.
had seen what this witness described himself to have observ-
ed, it might have been expected that he would have told it
to some one. W," itvery likely that he would never have
confided it to the easy, the. willing, and We' gentle' ear of his
soft -friend Dumont ? He had had opportunities of enjoying

LETTER FLOM MR. MARIETTI THE BLDER, TO HIS

EON IN LONDON.

Milan, Sept. 16.

Dearest Son—l have receive and read your letter of: the
3d instant. Relatively to the threats conveyed• to me. by,
Mr. Brown, I Must xepeat to you once more the saute obser-
vations I then made—that it is expedient to cut short with
the great (tagliar carte coi granite). They are always in .
the right. You have taken up the• matter with•mtich heat ;
in the main you are right, I feel that you are so, but cos
have' carried it too far. It is ,true that 13rown has.
expressly and repeatedly insisted with Mr. Albertoaits

that he should Make known to you the dissatisfaction in that
quarter towards you, and the danger of 'the Alien Bill which
you were going to encounter. nut, nevertheless, fultow the
judgment of your father, who knows by experience what is
Most expedient, and fur the best, in similar cases: Abandon
the object, and allow the controversy thus to terminate, since

by persons of mean condition or in inferior rank, as you
and 1 are, it is sufficiently well terminated by what has been
already done. This instant a Courier has arrived with letters
of the sth, and by the paragraph relative to Milan you may'
see how completely what Brown said here has been verified.
You treated and spoke with the. person alluded to, believing•
him quite a different character. I will speak with Peter at

his return, as I have to-day spoken with Sperati ;• but what-
ever happens, what you said is right, that you, Peter, and
Sperati, are well known, for persons of sense and character,
and very different from that good-for-nothing individual
(pal poco di tuono). But the conclusion is, to, keep every
thing silent, and to prevent all publicity.
1 salute you, your affectionate Father.

LETTER FROM IR. MARIETTI, THE ELDER: TO

COLONEL BROWN.

Milatv, Sept. 19.
Most. worthy. Colonel—l understood with great concern that:
your name has been compromised in. a subject of conversa-
tion, which was supposed to hare taken place between you and.
me !dative to my son Joseph, at present in London. I think,
it therefore a duty to declare, as I now declare upon my ho-
nour, that no conversation ever passed between you and me, ,
directly on this subject. If the expressions contained in a
letter written by me to my son are somewhat strong, that
must be ascribed to the affection which a lively interest in.liius•
created, and a conformity to the advice I have always given
hint—advise tending to manifest the necessity of adhering to
the system ad:opted by me, never to mix in affairs foreign
one's own business. It grieves me exceedingly that an intepre:
tation has been given to my letter oPposite so my intentions,—
an interpretation which supplies materials to diseussions irre-
levant and ill-founded. - My displeasure in this case increases
at.seeing that a similar interpretation has caused doubts re-
garding the good faith of an individual whose distinguished,
and honourable character is known to me by long experience.
. I consider you, moreover, incapable of making use of the
threats which are attributed to you, as the British Gorey:l7•
went is at executing them. In tailing this mode of stating
to you the sentiments with which I am animated in the pre-•
sent emergency, I experience the sweet satisfaction of ful-
filling a duty which is incumbent . upon me, and I take the,
opportunity of assuring )on of toy perfect esteem.

LETTER FROM MR. ALIIERTVNIO TO COL: 13ROWN.
• Milan, Sept. 19.

M. Colonel,—lt is with regret, proportioned to the respect
whichl bear you, that 1 learn that the sense of 'a
letter written
by M. Nlarietti to his son has been so ill understood as to
have imputed to you the communication of an intention oil
the part of the British Government to watch over the latter,
and to send him out of England on account of his relations
with .Sacchini, a Witness in the case of the Queen. I reinein-
bert hat you said to me, one morning that I was present Nitta:
you on business that you had received a letter from F.ngland,
stating the interference' of Joseph Nlarietti in this affair, and
that you could not but regard such conduct as a little unwise,
and foreign to his oCCOpAtioll in .London. I cannot at the
same time forget that I regarded this communicatioo as a
simple opinion emanating from yourself, and very far from
The expression of authority or of menace. As regards what
is said on the Alien Bill, of the provisions of which I and
norant, it is a duty 1 owe to your character, always frank and,
loyal in all respects, to say that you never gave me the least
reason to fear for the personal security or the protection of
the said Joseph Nlarietti.
1 can add that 1 thtinght it my duty to beg M. Marietti the
father, to Write to his lOU to advise him nut to mix in an:4-,
fair so fin eign from his occupations, but to restrict himself to.
the wise and moderate conduct which has always distinguish-.
ed him; and'if in writing to hint his father has made use of
strong expressions, they ought in no wise to-be- ascribed to
you, Colonel Brown, but solely to the confidence and patona-I
atfection,whi6 dictated,t bent.

LETTER FROM MR. .31,ARIETTI.7 THE .EL,DER TO HIS,
. SON IN LONDON, (NOT .READ YESTERDAY BY.,
LORD LIVERPOOL IN PARLIAMENT.)
Milan, September '2O.
Dearest Son,—l am ever the more confirmed in my maxim
that it is right to have as little as possitAle. to 1.() with. We*,
great. I must say, that the Government question has two
strictly interpreted the letter I wrote'ydu, and 'which has pri-
sented to The Minister of Police other, motives than those-
which really originated it, since it is right to tell you that the,
English Government has written an angry letter to Col. BroWn.
He (Col. Brown), fVeling himself touch disquietude on thii.
acCount, made such an application to Sig. D. Ciceri, and to.
Athertonio, that the former begged toe to convey to,
the said Colonel Brown a letter of mine:, which in a certain
way (in certo goat moth)), might justify. him with his .Govern-;
meat filial the too rigorous interpretation given to my. formei-
letter. And after having written and re-written, through the
medium of the said Signor Ciceri, draughts of such a letter
to be shown, the copy which I enclose to your address was
fixed upon. You will likewise find Cue copy of a letter which,
the said Col. Brown desired front the said Signor ~,lhertonio,
who gave me the account contained in the letters forme'rly
addiesSed to you. To the honour of Utah I hare rr-
garded what Colonel Brown .said through the medium of.
Signor Alhertonio as all act of friendship, to prevent him
froin bring brought into any danger. Nor could 1 ever have
imagined that shell a tiling could have been of as much import-
ance as it has provsd., flowerer that be, to faci:it ate the allay-
ing of such a controversy, and to preserve amity with all, I
thave'thought proper to second it, as yon will perceive by the
copy.r,it
