crane), sounded in their ears before they came to the determi-
rAon of this fatal inquiry. Its Lordship conjured the House—
en his knees he would conjure them—to judge of the case of this
unfortunate, this unquestionably long-oppressed and perse-
cuted woman—this generous, magnanimous, and liberal penal,
who had been agonized in a manner not to be described by the

institution of these proceedings—that they would do by her as
if the case were their own, or as if it were a wife or dearest
daughter on whom they were sitting in judgment.—( Lori-

The call was now general for Lord Hamtwoon.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that Lord Donough-
more had first caught his eye.
Lord DONOUGHMORE said, he cheerfully gave in to the
general call of the House.
Lord HAREWOOD from the Ministerial Gallery now ad-
dressed their Lordships. 6' My Lords, it is not my intention
to trouble your Lordships, were I even capable of doing so, at
I,:rgth, or to enter at all into the evidence which has been ad-
duced at your Lordships' I3ar in this enquiry. The situation in
•vhich I feel myself placed here is that of a member of this
House, in the double capacity of Judge and Legislator. In that
neint of view I am eiesirous before giving a vote on the question,
, have It distinctly understood on what ground that vote is given.
After listening to the whole evidence produced, I shall shortly
state the general impression which it has made on my mind.
I conceive that much of the evidence has been contradicted,
that much of it rests on loose grounds; but other parts of it. I
arn sorry to say, stands en i much stronger foundation ; and,
on the whole, the impression of it on my mind is, to create
at least a strong suspicion on the subject of our inquiry.—
Due when I have stated that I must consider at the same time
v. bat is the nature of that evidence, I do not for one carry pre-.

*udices to the degree which is done by some persons out of doors.
I do not think that because a man is a foreigner he is not
therefore, to be believed on oath—a prejudice wholly irrational,
and unworthy of a civilized country. But when I Ind, that the.'
vidence chiefly depended on in support of this inquiry is foreign,
.nd that it has been obtained, not to say improperly, but by ex-
raordinary considerations—when I consider too the impossi-
ility of having points, which rest on foreign testimony, cleared
ip in the way that it might be crone in an ordinary English
rial. 1 must confess that some degree of doubt is left on my
lola. I have no right to charge any man with breach of
)ath ; I only state what has been the impression made on me.—

FRENCH PAPERS.

The news contained in the French Journals is siow
confined almost.exclusively to the affair's of foreign
countries, •and among them there is really nothing at
all worth the attention of Englishmen, at a moment
like the present.
The Spanish Cortes have consented to relax the
spirit of the proceedings meditated against the sixty-
nine Deputies who had addressed the King to over-
throw the Constitution. Instead of being prosecuted
before the public tribunals, these offenders are de-,
prived of all employments, pensions, honours, and
distinctions, which they obtained either before or
since the 4th May, 1814.
The conferences of the Allied Sovereigns are, it is
said, to be transferred from Troppau to Vienna.
The Sittings of the Polish Diet, on the 28th of
September and the 2d of October, are represented
to have been stormy in the extreme. The President
refused the liberty of speech to a Deputy, who had
got up to prove that the Report of the Minister of
the Interior on the State of the Nation was a series
of fabrications and falsehoods. The Assembly, how-
ever, voted, after a division, and by a great majority,
that the Member should be heard. He accordingly
read his discourse to them.

A Vienna Paper states, that the illustrious Baron
Grimm has been invited by Mr. Brougham to give
evidence as to his motives for examining Miss Bar-
bara Kress, of blue-cloak memory ! We find, how-
ever, that the illustrious Baron, like his acquaintance
D'Ende, refused Mr. Brougham's invitation.
The trial of Gravier and Bouton, charged with ex-
ploding a petard under the windows of the apart-
ments of the Duchess of Berry, was resumed on the
29th ultimo. The Advocate-General maintained,
that the act was not a mere wanton act, as contended
for on the part of the prisoners, but intended for the
premature destruction of the infant to whom her
Royal Highness has sii:ce given birth. The Sitting
was put an end to by the following curious incident:
M. Claveau, in pleading for Bouton, concluded with
saying, " the wife of my client died yesterday, and
her remains now repose in the grave!" At this.un-
expected intelligence, Bouton fell senseless, and was
carried out of the Hall by the gendarmes. M. Cla-
veau, perceiving himself almost generally blamed,
said he had only done his duty, in using every means
calculated to save his client. It was ten o'clock at
night when this incident took place. The Court then
adjourned to the next morning, when the verdict
would be pronounced. _ _ _

The following account is given of the effects of the
late storms:—" The gusts of wind on the 20th and
two succeeding days of the past month have occa-
sioned great damage to different maritime works in
the arrondissement of Havre. At Fecamp, the slut-
cadoes for the security of the bridge of Seroile from
the pier, have been destroyed, in spite of the precau-
tions taken in the course of the 2lst, to check the
progress of the damage which had occurred over-
night, before and after the high and impetuous tide.l
In the course of the 22d, a foundation of masonry,
forming a part of the pier, and ready to receive its
coping of granite, was swept away, and the works of
the breakwater, for a considerable height and extent,
have disappeared. The granite facings, at the en-
trance of the jetty towards the east, have been en-
tirely washed away; and several parts of the dyke,
as well as of the jetty, have received much injury.
At Havre, the sea, agitated by the violent winds,
has swept clean away the stone embankment, from
one extremity to the other. The duccadoes have
been formed in three places. One of these being at
the extremity of the sea-wall, near the Lazaretto, the
sea has made two breaches behind, and in the natural
earth; and by these apertures the adjoining lands
have been inundated. It is calculated that the mounds
that must be repaired present a surface of at least
600 metres. The gale had not subsided, and further
disasters were apprehended. At St. Maloe's the hur-
ricane had been equally severe, but the extent of the
damage bad not been ascertained."

A Mail has arrived from Hamburgh, with Papers
to the 28th ultimo. The Emperor Fa*Ncts was ex-
pected at Troppau on the 19th. Among the Peti-
tions presented to the Polish Diet, was one praying,
that the importation of English manufactures should
be prohibited, as long as the Corn Act remains in
force. Letters from Trieste positively state, that ALI
Nona held out in the citadel of Janina, so late as,
the 22d of September. The place is said to be of
great strength, having 900 cannon mounted on the
works ; and it is supposed that, if he could hold out
until the end of October, the blockade would be,
abandoned, as the Turkish armies usually break up
on the approach of winter. The Hanoverian Diet is
Ito meet on the Ist of next month.

Letters were received yesterday from Palermo,
dated October 9, the first that for a long period have
passed through Naples. We are happy to say that
tranquillity is again established, and the Two Sici-
lies once more on an amicable footing. This event,
however, has not taken place without a most severe
contest, and an intermediate state of dreadful anar-
chy and disorder. The populace of Palermo have
taken the chief part in the resistance to the Neapoli-
tans, and it appears evident that the better class of
citizens had more to apprehend from them than from
the invading army, as they openly avowed their in-
tention, if victorious, to exterminate " the Jacobins,"
a name applied by them indiscriminately to all per-
sons of rank and property. None of the English re•
sidents have suffered any injury, having been equally
respected by all parties; but the greater part of
them thought proper to retire for safety into the
country, or on board the ships in the haibour. A
convention between the two countries was signed on
board his Majesty's cutter Racer, Captain THURTELL,
then lying off Palermo, on the sth of October; by
General FLORESTANO PEPE, on the part of the Nea-
politans, and by the Prince of PATERNO, acting
President of the Junta on behalf of the Sicilians.—
This Treaty stipulates that all the forts shall be
given up to the Neapolitan General : that a majority
of votes of the Sicilian Representatives, legally con-
vened, shall determine on the unity or separation of
the national representation of the kingdom of the
Two Sicilies. The Spanish Constitution is adopted
in Sicily, with the modifications that may be made
by the united or the separate Parliament, for the
public welfare. The arms and effigies of the King
to be restored, and all past events and acts,of indivi-
duals to be buried in cblivion.
