FOR THE Stlg.-

REMARKS ON HER MAJESTY'S DEFE':CE.

(Continued from our Paper, of the 19th ult*
The Queen's Counsel having found, that- the.
Evidence of most, if not of all, theWitnesses3rought'forseard
in the Defence of her MailtsTY, proved on cross-examination.'
unfavourable to her cause, declined calling even those they ,
had announced for examination to refutethe Evidence in sup-
port of the charges. Notwithstanding all their threats they
have not dared to bring forward Madame Oldi, Mademoiselle
Mariette, Dumont, Sekinvini, Hieronymus, and many others ,
they had imported, and, as we may suppose, placed under pro-
per instruction atßrandenburgh-house. They contented them-
selves with examining Philip() Pomi, a dependant of Bergami's.
who was and is employed by him at the Villa Bergami, and
who had received his instructions so late as the beginning of
last month, viz. September. His Evidence cannot assist the
Queen's cause, unless considered as giving an opportunity of
cavilling respecting some loose conversation with Rastelli,
o ho, be said, told him that Dumont had made a good day's
►cork of it, and that if he knew anything against the Princess
he might be made a man of. But there is not the slightest
proof that this Rastelli could in any degree he consideted as
an Agei.t—and there is nothing uncommon in the coming for
want of an eager officious person on such occasions without
any authority. We confess to have been not .a little diverted
at the idea of an under labourer at the Villa Bergami, being
called to speak to the moral character of thewife to the Prince
Regent of England, and to the society she kept. His account
of the genteel company that visited her Royal Highness at the
Barona is, as might he expected, somewhat amusing. He de-
scribes the flower of gentility amongst the visitors of her
Majesty to he a fair Cyprian, the Daughter of the Pot-house
Keeper. Nor arc his declarations of disinterestedness in com-
ing forward much less ridiculous. But the main object in
calling him seems to have been to quarrel ►with the proceed-
ings as soon as it was discovered that Rastelli was sent away
as a courier, when it was supposed !te would not be wanted
again until oecussary to appear before the House of Com-
mons.

The Evidence of Captain Vasst.li and Colonel Olivieri, who
had risen from private soldiers in Buontwartes Armies,
like other favourites of her Royal Highness, is certainly of
little service to her cause, nor is that of Nlaggiore,—but it
proves the great deficiency of Witnesses on her part. This
uninteresting part of the examination was enlivened by the
entertaining account of the institution of the Order of Saint
Caroline, and the Diploma appointing Colonel Bergami and
his progeny, male and female, to be Grand Masters to all

eternity.
The Queen's Counsel affect to raise great difficulties, and
to declare, that the Defence for the Queen was frustrated,
because the Baron D'Ende, Chamberlain to the Grand Duke
of Baden, did not attend to prove that her Majesty was re-
ceived at the Court of Baden, and therefore in good society.
This was of course more vehemently urged when it was found
that the Baron could not quit his situation to appear at their
Lordships' Bar.
But admitting that her Majesty was received at the Court
of Murat, also by the King of Bavaria, Prince Beauharnois,
and by the Grand Duke of Baden, her Relations, does that
alone prove, that of late years she has generally lived in pro-
per society, or does it not appear from her own Witnesses
that she had scarcely any society, except the son of her Page,
and the family of Berzami—his Mother, Brothers, Sisters,
Cousins, Child, &c.?—Does this peculiar favouritism prove
nothing, nor the rapid advance of Bergami, as well as the in-
troduction of all his family.

Is not all tho evidence of respectable persons brought for-
ward in her defence, merely negative, and confined solely and
exclusively to a very short period; indeed, to a few weeks
only after the admission of Bergami into the family. But
nothing of any kind has been adduced as to later times; and
this negative evidence may be illustrated by the Irishman's
answer to the Judge, who told him that he was convicted on
the oath of two witnesses who had seen him steal, the spade,
to which he answered, " if yon will let me go to St. Giles's, I
will bring twenty witnesses to swear they did nut see ms
steal it."

Is there any contradiction to the Princess at Catania having
passed from Bergami's room, with the pillow on which she
usually slept, under her arm, and in her night dress, through
the room of Dumont, who had been detained in her chamber
an hour later than usual ? It was declared that Marlette
would overset this evidence ; but though now living in the
house with the Queen, she has not been produced ; nor is the
evidence disproved, that at Scharnitz Bergami, who had been
sent to obtain passports, returned in the middle of the
night, the waiting maid dismissed, and Bergami passed the
remainder of the night with her Royal Highness. Nor has
any notice been taken of the interchange of Portraits, the
Lady in the appropriate character of Mary Magdalene.
Has any thing been brought forward to contradict Captain
Briggs's account of her Majesty's Orders, that Bergami should
sleep in the adjoining cabin to her own, which had been pre-
pared for her Majesty's female attendants ?

Notwithstanding all the pompous declamation---uotwith-
standing all the triumphant language of the Counsel for the
defence, they have directed all their battery against the moot
unimportant points. They have adduced evidence to contra-
dict the assertions contained in the opening speech of the
Counsel for the prosecution; whilst they have left all the
material facts proved by the evidence unimpeached, indeed,
uncontradicted, by any testimony whatever. They have kept
out of view all the most direct charges of criminality that had
been substantiated, and have attempted to invalidate only

facts of minor, indeed of very immaterial, importance.
There has been nothing but general assertion brought for-
ward against the evidence of Majocci, Dumont, Paturzo, the
Mate, and Garguilo, the Captain of the Polacca, Biorollo,
Ihe Cook, and Sacchi, who is contradicted only in respect to
riding as Courier. The evidence was not single, but as was
well expressed, " dovetailed:" each supporting the other so
as clearly to prove the case. Nor is there any thing brought

orward to discredit the eviience of Barbara Kress, or Krantz
nor of Bianchi at Venice, who gave an account of the pretty
pla;ful scene of putting the gold chain round the neck of
Bergarni, and his restoring it to the neck of her Royal
Highness.

The evidence of Cuchi, the,. Waiter at Trieste, being con-
tradicted as to the number of days her Royal Highness was at
Trieste, and there being uo opportunity of supporting what he
has said, may be put aside. The wheeling amusements men_
tinned by Itaggazoni, at the gardens of the Villa d'Este, have
not been contradicted, nor the evidence of Nlalocci, who saw
tier Royal Highness riding in the garden on the lap of Ber-
gami in a small carriage ; saw them both eat from the same
plate in the kitchen, and also saw theta kiss each other. Nor

Oggioni!s esidefisee contradicted, who proved the same fa
initiarstyle in the kitchen. Guidini says, that he save Ekr-
garni's hand on the Princess's thigh, and another time on her
breasts; and alto saw him come out of the Princess's room
in the morning, with a morning gown, and nothing but hi.,
drawers on.

Finetti saw them on 01;4 occasions kiss and. embrace
ach other. Brusa a+suksaw‘theiu caressing.
Bianchi says, he saw Bergami and the Princess bathing in

ie Rivulet Brezzia.
Lucini GitW the Princess on Bergatni's lap, and another
,me ha saw her louking vut of the window of Bergerni's room

Wit 11 Bergauii.
Itancatti says, he has seen them walking together like man
and wife, using endearing terms, Mon Cueur, 3cc. and he saw
her in Bergami's Led-room.
• --

Cassina says, that he was employed to open a communica-
tion from Bergami's bed•ruom to the Princess's had-room, and
that on the road returning from Farm), to go to Caprile, be
saw the hand of her Royal Highness in the small clothes of

Mr. Bergami.
Galli caw them at dinner. The Baron Bergami took some
delicate morsel from his plate and gave it to the Princess, and
she did the same toward. hit ; and he saw the Baron give
her a kiss after dinner.
Dell Ortu says he saw Bergami's arm round her neck and
give her a kiss, Bergami putting polenta and sweetmeat halt
in the mouth of the Princess, and then the remaining half he

pat into his own mouth.
Guggiari says he saw them lock themselves in the chamber
of the Princess, and has also frequently seen them kiss each
other. Some stress has been laid on the circumstance that
the Queen was dressed at times when she was seen with Bee-
garni but it is not explained that it was a perfectly louse

dress and in no degree inconvenient.
It might have been unnecessary to have stated all these
particulars, unless for the purpose of again observing that
there has not been the slightest attempt to disprove any one
of them. For in truth it is nut requisite to dwell on any part
of the evidence except what passed in the polacca. This is go
incontestibly proved by the evidence for the prosecution, arid
also confirmed by the witnesses adduced in her Majesty's de-
fence, that nu unprejudiced wind can doubt of her criminal
intercourse with her servant.
The evidence in defence of the Queen having thus com-
pletely failed ; as a last resource, it was deemed necessary to
set up the charge of a conspiracy on the part of Government
and the Milan Commission, and the subornation of perjury,
which those who brought the charge no more believed than
they do many other of their assertions. If any officious acts
of unauthorised persons can be preyed, nts imputation can
fall on Government; but the five days declamation of the
Quern's three Counsel encourage and promote this charge of
conspiracy at the momentwben the deluded multitude are dis-
posed to believe that the Moon is made of Green Cheese, or
any thing In opposition to Established Government, or our
envied Institutions in Church arid State.. Her Majesty's
Counsel ha►e not refuted any essential part of the mass of
evidence in support of the charges, and it is well known that
much more alight have been brought forward, if decency had
not requited that more than what was necessary should be
suppressed.

We are not to be surptized at the extravagant statements
of these Learned Gentlemen, who disgrace their talents by
misrepresentations ; their quibbling expedients and evasions
proving their own had opinion of their /Anse. One of them
declared, that he deemed it a duty to risk even the overthrow
of the State in favour of x Client, and another of them has
not less disgusted the respectable part of the community by
his Improper and inflammatory declamation, by his unjusti-
fiable comparison with Nero, and the shameful indecency of
his morsel of Greek in such an Assembly, and on such an oc-

cation.

They complain that others express. their opinion on the
evidence—but who provoked it but these Learned Gentlemen,
by their indecent and illiberal attacks on those who were
brought forward in support of the Bill, and by their success-
ful and mischievous exertions to mislead this public?

They admit that the case of the Bill was complete if the
evidence was twain credited, that if the witnesses were to be
believed the charges contained in the Preamble were fully
proved. The material facts have not been even attempted to
be disproved. Her Majesty's Counsel must either charge them-
selves with a criminal neglect of their Client's interest and
their Client's honour, or admit in their own justification the
evidence on which those charges are supported, not only to
be unimpeacked, but autimpeachable.
It is attempted to throw the odium of this disgraceful bu-
siness on the Government, when it is evident that the Queen
forced it on by abruptly coining here, and peremptorily de-
mending an open Trial, at a time when it does ant appear
there was a single individual in the country who did not wish
to avert it, except her Majesty, her Advisers, and Abetters.
Government, at the same time, chewing the best disposi•
tion to males every arrangement and concession most favour-
able to a residence abroad.

The conduct of the wife is attempted to be excused by the
treatment of the busbat►d. Can any thing excuse it Without
now entering on the grounds of his Majesty's dissatisfaction,
was she prevented from living in great splendour at Black-
heath and elsewhere, and in the hest society, or in such so-
ciety as was most agreeable to her, and with as ample an in.
come as her most zealous friends deemed fully sufficient,
until contrary to their opinion strongly urged, or any obvious
reason for such a measure, she went abroad, and commenced
that career which is no►y the subject of investigation.

The dignity of the House of Lords, every rule observed on
!Hie occasions, and the Court itself, have been sacrificed to
the unprecedented and unreasonable Claims of her Majesty'.
Counsel. It has submitted to most insulting dictation and
interruptions, and has borne with a conduct, yn the part of
her Counsel, that never was before, and never should have
been, suffered by the House. But all this would he nothing
compared to the disgrace of now shrinking from as impor-
tant a duty as has occurred in centuries, on notions of expe-
41iency, -or unbecoming apprehensions of difficulties, far short
however of those which would arise, if judgment should he
evaded, and Parliament, at this stage of the business, should
not go 'straight forward to decide on a delinquency as clear as
the sun at noun-day. As to the expedieacy of the measure,
that was decided when the Bill was received, and there is no-
thing now to decide on hut the evidenee which has been ad-
duced.—October so, 1820,_

Sir WM. SCOTT is said to be, at present, the
richest individual in the kingdom, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Coutts, the banker, whose pro-
perty is reported to exceed that of the late Mr.
Cavendish, of Clapham Common.
