l'Anis, SEr'r. 6.—The Conspiracy of, the 19th,
Atiust has had one good effect, it has rallied the
Nation round the Throne, for " the divinity that
hedges 4 King," is no other than the .Nation's
love, the insensate plot having only served to
demonstrate that madmen only could conceive. it.
The Liberals declare the plot to belong to, file.
Malts, and vite,_to confirm the opinion, the arrest
of M. TRoGorr as one of the conspirators.; he is

the son of General TROGOFF, and known as. a
most furious Ultra. The Drapeau Blanc is ,hii
oracle, his magnus Apollo, and the 46 Heure cis
bonne volontc;" seems to have filled his minc4
the same as the idea of assassinating the Duke de
BERRY occupied that of LOUVEL.

There have been disturbances at Brest and
Strasburg, but they were easily quelled. France
has its THISTLEWOODS and its WATSONS,: bu-c.
they are closely watched, and all their effort;-
will only turn to their own ruin.

TuE TRIAL OF THE QUEEN.-‘--111 the House of
Lords yesterday? Mr. Brougham announced it to
• decision of her Majesty_ to protieed. to her
‘, deflnice forthwith. Being- asked by the Lord
Chancelior, if he meant to go on with his 'cas'e to

low and.subdned-tone; expressed doubt whether
e should .feel it necessary to .call evidence.' That
might depend on the impression which his state.:
intent should make on their Lordships. If he did
ca 1 witnesses, he might proteed to examine those
in-mediately, who were at hand ' • but time might
be" necessary to, bring forward those who were
at a distance. The meaning of this was, that the
L.4ariied Connsel was dispOsed to make his open:
. .
'lug speech forthwith, exahitne as many witnesses
as he thought pro-per,' and then' claim time to seek
for more. This Unfair course was natur.v.llY obi
jected to, and the' Fail of Liverpool .moved that
theqUeen's;CounSel shOuld 'be instructed, that

which he himself might hereafter feel it necessary
to produce. This was reasonably. considered
toerether incompatible with the resolution to Which

answer to flie‘proPosltipsn their L•J:dillips at
eleven o'clo*this.day. Why should their Lord=
Ships be so anxious to regulate the mode in which
her Majesty's Counsel shall conduct her defence,
and to insist that without undertaking to call
evidence forthwith, they shall, not. be allowed to
commence,? Perhaps-COunsci, as Earl Grey ob-
.
serveo, :may, after addressing their Lordships;
and 'witnessing the effect of that address, deem it
unnecessary to calla any witnesses at all. Their
'Lordships surely would not allow themselves to
.be inthienced. by statements. of Counsel which
are not borne out by proof ; and if there is a
disadvantage in having the speech., of Counsel.be
-fore the PubliC unsupported by. evidence, how
long have the charges of the prosecution been
before the Public without being supported by
, proof ? Surely .when all, the pOwer of the State
has been arrayed, and half .of the Potentates of
,Europe have been called into the 'field ' against
one helpless wciman., it is rather too much that
every advantage in the manner of conducting the
proceedings should also be 'giVen to the party
possessed of such fearful odds. •

[British Press.]
The" decision of the House of Lords upon the
first qUestion submitted to them yesterday, suf.&
eiently marks the course that.will Most probably
be adopted this day, should 'Mr. BrOugharn be
unwilling to trust the defence of his Ill'ustrious
Client to the testimony of such few witnesses as
may *chance to be at present in London, or those:
on whose attendance he might calculate within a
day or two. He.will, in short, not be permitted
to separate the statement from the evidence, but'
he will be allowed the power of postponing' the
defence altogether, to such time as he might think
necessary' for assembling his witnesses. We la:
anent extremely, for the interests of justice, that
the House of Lords should have felt themselves
so strictly bound by what they conceive to be
the praCtice in cases of ordinary occurrence, as
to be unable to grant the indulgence now prayed
by her Majesty's Counsel. Their Lordships, no
doubt, are placed in a sitnation of same difficulty
and embarrassment, but they ought not to forget
that the condition of the Queen at .the same time
is not exempt from hardship and danger, and that
while they are endeavouring to pursue an ima-
ginary principle.ol consistency in their proceed-
ings, from which by the way they have already
egregiously deyiated, they are exposing the il-
lustrious Defendant, no .doubt unwillingly upon
their parts, to'an evil the most severe that could
befal her short of. actual conviction. To her
Majesty therefore it: matters little whether the
House of Lords'acts as we doubt not they do, in
every instance, mosthonestly, and conscientiously,
if at .the. very moment. that they
,are Priding
themselves in their wisdom and integrity, she is
made to suffer such calamities as it, might be
supposed that nothing but injustice or folly couldinflict. The Lord Clianeellor and the other
Noble Lords who oppoSed the proposition, ad
mitted that even their Lordships, her Majesty's
sworn judges, who are bound by every sense of
duty and of honour to keep their judgments free
from every impression until the whole case be
fully and fairly laid before them, must of neces-
sity within the course of two
proceeding
should the
,
proceed be so long suspended,. have their
minds influenced in some degree by the case for.
the prosecution,- and that the public, not guard-
infi their minds, with the same precautions, must
feel this influence more sensibly,

[New 77mes.]
Every man of honourable mind must feel deep-
ly impressed at the present moment with the ne;
cessity of suspending 'his judgment on the con;
duct of, her Majesty. The more disgusting are
the details of the evidence, the more, painfdl,
must it be to conceive that they can be truly
averred of a Queen of • England. It is, hoir-
ever, Of . infinite importance, that w,e should.
distinctly comprehend the case as it stands,:
upon: the depositions
~of the •witnesses ; :that.
we should see hOW- far it coheres together, and
what sort of defence it requires on 'the part of
her 'Majesty. We have gone patiently through.
the depositions' in chief, and shall,, as soon as
we can find'space for such' an article, preSent
to Our ltea.ders a brief, but faithful abstract
of the evidence in chief, leaving to a future
time, the consideration, how far its effect may
be weakened by the cress-examinatiOn, and
,the!
evidence
.any) which her'Majesefs Legal
Advisers may' deem it necessary to adduce.—Be-
fore we enter on the evidence4however, we must
observe, that it is solely ininfinett,to facts alleged
to have- occurred sul•seguently to the month of
October, 1814. At that' tithe We .fitid her Ma--
jesty (then - Princess of Wales), at Milan, tra-
velling, by her own choice, and with-the full per-'
mission of her Royal Consort,.hu.t.certainly with
sonic reasons for, more than -ordinary restraint
over her conduct. She was a ProteStaut Prin-
cess .inp. Catholic Co:it-Au. She was,a descen-;
dant of illustrious House of Britnswick; which
had so long',and so. deejily suffered 'from the re-
volutioi►ary Tury o 1 the times,and fromt the violent:
aggressions of theBdohaParteatt Usurpation. She
was closety connected with,the inOral‘nation of.
Britain. She had. a lovely, daughter living, to
whom she was bound to set an example of purity;
and she had some yeah, before had the Misfortune:
to incur. from her. Venerable:and Royal Fither-,
a serious aclinonftiOn on her olin intlisere-
tions. .:,Add to this; that she was under the per-
suasion (however unfounded) that she was stir.;
rounded by spies and persons ready to take ad-'
•
vantage of any error that she might fall into ; and
it will not be easy ,to conceive a situation more'
imperiously calling on a female for the utmost
degree of reserve, and -modest dignity in her
conduct toward every individual of the other sex.

[The es.]
The proceedings in the house of Lords yes.
terday.resumed, to a certain degree, their ordi.
nary form, and, instead of judicial investigation
were converted into debates and divisions—ii

the latter of which it is unnecessary to say which
party 1)k/dined the greatost numbers. The first

aild most important suby.t of contantiou— a
.subject, by:the way, which, is still-, under certain
restrictions, left to thedecision of Counsel—was,
whether the Queen's legal advisers should be
so confined, that if they now under,took to open
their case,. they. should be obliged also to, call
their witnesses .forthwith; with .art understanding,
that if, in consequence of this premature opening;
the great body or any part of .the evidence could
not be produced, they should still not be allowed
any farther -delay at a, subsequent period. Upon
this point we only wish to call general attention
to the speech and previous inquiries of Lord Lans-
do wn : that speech, so cOnvincing—those inquiries,
'so dexterous—leave: us nothing. to say : they. are
'concluSive. There will be, no need .for. any fur-
ther observation with the nation at large. In
reply .to
_some correlative, matter which was
trodoced by another Noble Lord, the. Ear! of
Liverpool contended that the present. mode of
proceeding against' her ;Majesty, however bur-
dened With difficulties and impeded by ob;truc-
_

Lions, was yet more humane toward; the party
accused than proae-ss by impeachment. Why,
in the' case of impeachment, the Lords would
have hail to decide absolutely., and per se, as
Judges, the Commons beim only the accusers ;
whereas, in the present instance, the Commons
are Judges alsb ; and we think it paying the
Lords but a moderate compliment to say, that
less humanity would, in a supposititious, and, as
we :hall soon see, impossible case, have been
dealt out by them singly, than is likely to be dealt
out by them in the present instance, when united
with the Commons.
