MLS•REPOItT OF EVIDENCE.

Mr. BROUGHAM said, that during the absence
of the Learned Judges, he wished, with permis-
sion of the House, to trespass on their indulgence
for a few minutes. It was the furthest from his
desire, at any, time, to say any thing that might
be construed as injurious to the liberty of the
press, and what he read now to submit, was not
designed as a punishment, but rather as a warn-
Rig to those connected with it. lie had to
complain in this instance of one Morning
Paper, (The Morning Post) which this day
contained a, most gross and flagitious mis-

take, the design of which was Avid; ut, chart:-
big -his Honourable Relation with nothing less
than tampering with wi •,esses in foreign parts,
who were to be produced afterwards as evidence
at their Lordships' bar. Here the Learned
Counsel referred to the passage complained of,
and declared, that nothing like it had ever
been uttered in. that -ll,cTse,e. more .grossi
(he added,) more scandalous,' of, more flagiti-
ous mistake had never been 'made. He wished
the whole matter to be probed to the bottom
instantaneously in any way that their Lord-
ships might think proper. He would even waive
his privilege of Parliament If the;, Lordships
thought tit-to go' into the investigation of .this
flagitious case, and he implored to be dealt with,
if necessary, as any other person would be dealt
with at their bar. Ile added, that Col. Brown
had threatened to send young Marietti out of the
country under the Alien Act, and that he had
put the letter from Maiietti's father which an-
nounced the threat into the hands of Lord Liver-
pool, who-however had assured him that young
Marietti should, receive the protection of his Ma-
jesty's Government. lie could not help _think-
ing, at the same time, that the letter in question
might have occasioned some questions put by the
AttOrney-General. He had also been informed
that' two English Okilicers, who were to appear as
evidence for the Queen, had lately been s(.

to the Adridialty-andasked questions.
The A'rro ltS1;:lr-cri.EN ER AL said, that his

Learned Friend had gone very far, beyond the
object: of; his professed charge'. lit, himself had'
thrown out insinuations, not to say charges, as
unfounded as the' misrepresentation he had
complained of, lie would deny, most distinctly,
his having had any communication from Mi-
nisters respecting. Marietfi's letter, of which
lie really knew nothing till after .the cross-
examination which elicited it. After that he
conceived it his .duty to apply to -knoW
Aber there was such a letter. He, however, had
no communication with the Earl of Liverpool in
order to ascertain that fact. He trusted ,his
Learned Friend would in future be more cau-
tious in throwing out such insinuations.
The Earl of LI VERPOGL here stated that it was

perfectly true that the Learned -Cokinsel" (Mr.
Brougham) had put. a letter from Marietti, the
father, into his hand, stating that the son was
liv"" •t of this Country if he

seatene . to be sent-out of y Il _
came here to give evidence. He himself then stated
that there Was not the smallest foundation for
such fears ; and added that young Marietti
should, whenever he arrived, have the full Pro-
tection of his Majesty's Governthent. It might
be material to state, also, 'that he never had
had a communication with the Attorney-Ge-
neral on the subject, and if the latter knew
the fact adverted to, he must have learned it from
some other ;ounce.

Lord MELVILLE said he was desirous of ex,
plaining the
,ciccumstance of two Naval Officers,
who were to appear -as witnesses on the
Queen's side, being sent for, to give infor-
mation at the Admiralty. it had happened;
more than once, that the Learned Counsel
for the Queen made application at the
Admiralty for the residence of officers'whO were
or had been:on board his Majesty's ships, to
which application attention had been invariably
paid ; and indeed he should have held it a gross
neglect or his duty, if ,he had not so acted.' it
likewise so happened,-that one person, an Eng-
lish seaman, who had been on hoard the polacca
of which their Lordships'had heard so much, was
applied for. This seaman had since been on
board one of his Majesty's ships, but was gone
ashore, or somewhere else, and could not at Pre-
sent be-found. Having heard that two British
officers had been on board the polacca at the time
this seaman. was, it was thought that possibly'
they might know where to find him, and ac,
cordingly they were sent for to the Admiralty.
They were asked. there only that single question,
and if any other were put to them, it was di-
rectly in violation of the directions he had
given ; but indeed he believed his directions'
had been attended to. Ile could assure ther
Lordships, that this was the whole truth, and he
hoped he might add; nothing but the truth:
Lord ERSKINE here offered an apology for the
Learned Counsel for the 'Queen, for he was satis-
fied that he never could mean to impute to any
of their Lordships any improper or unworthy
motive. •

Cries of " Order, order !" prevented the Noble
Lord from proceeding at any length, and the
Learned Judges had not returned when our
Reporter left the House.

Persevering in our resolution to refrain from
drawing any conclusions from the Evidence ad-
vanced against TILE QUEEN till the Trial is at an
end, we may be allowed in the mean time to
comment on the conduct of her Supporters out of
doors. It is observable then that, excepting The
Old Times; which has supported HER MAJESTY in
