;..... ..." • : I)EFENCE-.OF 1-l En. NIMESTY, . . . .
-.. At 25 minutes to 11 o'clock, the .LoanHAN-
bint tit put•the question,• that Counsel balled
in, which being agreed to; they were introduced
. ,
to the bar.
Mr:' BROUGIIAM , entered on. -the DEFENCE of
the'QuEEN, but in so subdued ;a ttone,, that his
fiiSt • sentences could nbt 'be distinctly heard
below the bar. He assured their. Lordships
that it was not the circumstance of hiS having
for the first time to approach the Bar of that
Hoarse, for he had already t•,;le honour of appear.
ing theme in this important cause,, nor the novelty
of the proceeding itself, new and strange as that
proceeding was, for experience soon reconciled
the human mind to the strangest things, nor was
it the magnitude .of the cause he had under-
taken to defend, that oppreesed his mind in now
appearing at their Lordships' Bar. - None of
these, considerations could overpower him, for
he was .borne up by the justice of this, great
cause, shared in common with all mankind, but
-his apprehension was, lest indeed he Should 'fall
short in meeting the expectations of the World;
in handling the facts connected with it. While
others might be troubled with the qUestion of
guilt., in defending their cause, he had nothing
to fear froin ' the opinion of honourable Minds,
.nothing to dread but from the resources of per-
jury, and only to fear, - for the first time,
lest he should throw even ' a' doubt on one
corner of the case.' 'With the jealous eyes Of
millions of their countrymen upon them, anxious
to.receive 'the judgment of their Lordships, he
so trembled under the weight of that great re-
sponsibility which now devolved on him, that he
confessed he had scarcely the composure of
spirits necessary 'to the discharge of his profes-
sional duty.. -It was no light addition to this
feeling to foresee that, though at some distance
.of time, the loyalty of -a good subject, though not
.in the discriminating judgment of their Lordships,
might unhappily be
,called in question, and
imputations cast on an
,individual for hiS honest.
and fearless discharge of his duty at their bar.
Before he proceeded far, however, it was oeces
sary to remind their Lordships of the situation of
her Majesty on her first arrival in this Country.
It was 'in their recollection that the Princess
Caroline of Brunswick first arrived here in the
. year 1795, 'standing in no ordinary 'relationship:
to the Royal . Family, being the niece. of the
reigning Sovereign, first cousin of the Prince of.
Males) and not, a remote heir to the Crown.—
.
Having stated this, he could affnre their Lord-.
ships that it was not his intention' at present to
go back to all that bad paSsed then, for he would
much rather, consistently with the discharge of
'his 'duty, draw a veil over the transactions or the
past; as he was .assured that the case of the
Queen did not require recrimination. In post-
poning. this, in not attaching on her illustrious
.Consort the shadow of blame, in waving the
right' which he conceived belonged •to him, and
'abstaining from the . use of - materials which
were _unquestionably his; he however,: should
not, if hoWever it was necessary hereaftet
to exercise the right, 'for himself think of de-.
elimmiog these advantages: which even the youngest
'Member in the profession, could-not forego, in the
"fearless discharge of that duty which he owed to
his Client.—To shield that Client, to uphold that
Client, to protect that Client, to save that Client,
was his highest and most unquestionable duty.
It was his duty to-proceed; not regarding the
alarm he might create. in some'. minds, _dr . even
'destruction to others; it was his dUty -to go-fear-
lessly on, reckless of consequences, should hiS
Conduct even go to involye his own Country in
confusion. .But happily 'for himself and - their
Lordship's-he was not . reduced to that, painfu

'necessity, which would be to abandon the
higher grounds of justice, on which he trusted he
firmly stood, and seem to aim at' extenuating
the impression made by those improprieties
and levities, the. 'slightest of which-
_he was
prepared to defend. It was calumnious? it
was foul as it was false, in the detractors of her
Majesty? to assert that, improprieties had been
proved against her. He would contend, on the
tontrary, that the evidence in imputation of the
'"Queen did not prove them, hut that in reality
it disproved them. 'There was ,one ' admission
he,- however, would make, and 'in .making
thiis admission, he begged !.'s Learned Friend,
tho Counsel for'the Bili, to make the 'most of it.
—He would grant, indeed, that the Queen had
lived in Italy, that her society, while resident
there,, instead of being English, was foreign, and
that it was even inferior; and he -would fur-

Vier grant, that during the life-time of the
late lamented King, the Princess had mov-
ed in more dignified ranks. of life, while,
-when abroad, sh sometimes mixed with Ita-
lian Nobility, and sometimes with her'inferiors.
13ittwho,he would demand, brought this charge
against the Queen ? Surely their Lordghips had
no right,to.prefer it; for theyacessories to her
degradation, were the .very last persons who
:ougJt ;to charge her with an offence, to which
their, conduct bad instigated her while in this
Cquntry. When as Princess she was resident

here, she had
_opened the doors of ho.. Pa-

lace to their Lordships;'. she had graciously
,condeScehded to court the society .of Ladies of
Ralik, and as long as it suited -ilitereSts in which
she herself had no concern, as long as it tallied
with:the lo.ve.of lucre and,the lust-of,
,power, the
Ptincess did not court such society in vain. .When
a change of fortune took place, when the lust
fo inen.ce and emolument could be gratiAed

- .
D¢ more, her noble doors were throWn open
,rain, her courtesy was. exerted-'in
the Peeressek of .England• were. 'withheld from
her) she Was reduced to a state of huniilia-

• tion, in which she had no noble society,
or to leave the country in search of it. It .was,
therefore, not for their Lordships to entertain,
the complaint that the Princess of Wales, when
in Italy, had mixed with society, which . She.
ought not _to. have chosen in consideration,
of her elevated rank. Amidit, this scene ,of
humiliation and grief, this accumulation of in-
sult and woes still the Princess had one support,

now much lamented daughter. An eve.,it-soon
took place, however, of ,great importance i that
daughter's life, an event of which, from ha own
melancholy experience, the Queen .too well new'
how much it constituted of the hapAesS
Or misery of life. It was ,proposed to-marry her
daughter, and this event, so important in human
life, and so interesting to the Queen, was:
announced to all ;. England had it announced,:
Europe .had, it announced ; but it was only not
announced to one person so much interested in
At, The marriage was consummated, still no
notice of the event was transmitted to her. She
heard it, indeed, but she heard it accidentally,
by a Courier who was dispatched with the in-
telligence to his. Holiness the Pope I that: an-
cient and intimate ally of
:this Protestant State!
Even if the Princess Charlotte had wished to
have opened a communication with.the Queen, her
apprehension of offending in a higher quarter, her
new connection, her advancing pregnancy, her in-
different health, all prevented such awattempt,
It' was now, however, that an event happened; in
which not only the people of this country sym-
pathized, but 'even the inhabitants of.Euiope,
the melancholy - death of the . Princess. Char-
lotte and her infant son ; but here. again, the
person most overwhelmed and stunned with the

7 blow was left to hear of it accidentally. If
how-
ever she had not heard.of it by accident, she might
soon have discovered the event . toy. its conse-
quence's ; for the decease -of the Princess Char,
lotte was the signal for issuing the Milan. Com-
mission. Let their Lordships look at the lot of this
unfortunate Princ'ess, when dangers thiCkened
around her, at different epoChs of her life. It
was her singular misfortune to be bereft of her
firmest friends at the
.moment when they were
Most earnest in her cause. The•late Mr: Pitt, her
earliest friend, and who remained firm to
the very last, died in 1g0.6 ; and soon after
the delicate investigation. was set on foot
he bequeathed as a legacy Mr. Perceval, her.
best acid _dauntless friend ; but no sooner was he
'laid low by a lamentable catastrophe, than the
investigation was revived once more, Next,
she was befriended by Mr. Whitbread,. of
whom, however, she was soon depilved,
by an event which; men of all parties must- de-
plOre. When,- however, she lost-her 'daughter,
the accumulated- storm was allowed to burst on

her head and continued till the decease of our
venerable and lamented King. The very day
that the remains of our late Sovereign were
consigned to the tomb, it was in etidence
that perjured witnesses were first ushered

into the Palace. Favours conferred, and
gratitude neglected bad made base natures
still more ungrateful, but he now "Wished
to claim their Lordship's attention to ' the

getting up of the story on behalf of
which evidence had been brought, and. foi this

purpose he must revert to the opening.spe-eCh o:
his Learned Friend, the Attorney-General,whicl
'could'be considered as no other than a transcript
of the materials he had before him. His Hon

and Learned Friend had declared, as he believed
with perfect honour and sincerity, that he would
proceed to state nothing to their Lordships of
which he was unable to produce the proof. He
now repeated, , that he believed his Learned
Friend most candid in the declaration he then
made, and he had failed in proof, which he
(Mr. B.) was prepared to contend he had, it was
wing 'to the depositions of the witnesses, who ha.d
deposed as falsely as they had sworn. There. was

one point in particular to which he was anxious

to call the attention of their Lordships. It-Was
where the Attorney-General had stated that he
could bring up the evidence to the present time,
but when had that been made out ? Why, in
reality it only extended to three years, which
wag exactly the half of the whole space that she'
had been. abroad:

with joy when they counted the lath shot. This news, which
biustsfrom every heart, from every mouth, already traverses
the neighbouring departments. Signals, rapid as air, carry
it to remote quarters, and in a few moments the sound Of the
cannon will have made it echo in the most sequestered ham-

de Bordeaux! Vive loPtichesse de Berri !" All our wishes
are fulfilled-:--all our hopes are justified,—the feigned or real
alarms=the clouds which obscured our horizon are dispelled,
and France rejoices and takes courage on seeing Providence
protect the race of the Kings.

of Si. Louis and Henri IV." At the first accompliShment of
