quired the presence of SACCIII, conceiving that
he, as well as aASTELLI, was out of the Coun-
try ; but, learning that SACCIXI was at hand, de-
clined to re-examine him. Nor is it her MAJES-
TY'S fault that, after alleging a Conspiracy against
the Milan Commission, andthat it was proposed
to send for Colonel BROWNF, Mr. BaouGnAm
vehemently protested against such a measure.
These are the arts and the contradictions of the
Advocate, though they certainly operate against
the Client in all reflecting minds. But surely it
will be admitted, that as far as depends on the
essential merits of the case, the Counsel have
had as much latitude for the Defence as they
could in reason, and in justice to their Client,
demand. As to further evidence, for or against
her MAJESTY, whatever the zeal and policy of
her Counsel may pretend, it is hardly possible to
throw a new light upon the prominent and essen-
tial facts, and therefore a due balance of the
motives and characters of the witnesses, on both
sides, must form the basis of the final decision.
We presume not to judge of the reasons which
induced Baron D'ENDE, the Chamberlain of the
Grand Duke of BADEN, to decline coming hither
in order to give his testimony ; but it must be
admitted, indeed even Mr. BROUGHAM has ad-
mitted, that our Government has done all in its
power to procure the Baron's attendance, and
though her MAJESTY'S Counsel affect to repre-
sent his refusal as injurious to her cause, yet it is
highly probable that he could only give a nega-
tive testimony, as to the alleged facts, and there
has been no want of such testimony on her side.
We therefore look with ardent hope, that the
whole of this lamentable investigation will soon
be at an end, and thus frustrate the aims of Party,
and disappoint.the destructive schemes of Radical

The following paragraph appeared in The
British Monitor of Sunday last. We know not

THE QUEEN, are sincere, to be consistent they
ought to visit her, with all their nearest and
dearest female connexions :-.-
