The Titie of this Wink, and the number of its elegant Plus-

It is perhaps without exception the most interesting and pleasing
Volamc ever published. In general character, it is a catnpa-

o: the World ; but the subjects engraved being of more pleasing
character, the Volume is proportionably more beautiful, while

TRIAL OF THE QUEEN:'

FOURTEENTH DAY—IN CONTINUATION.
'MUSE OF LORDS, SEPTEMBER 1.
Examination of 3lademniselle Dlmoslecontiauc:i.
Is it not true, that application was made to you within half
a year after you left the Princess?--No application was made to
me sootier than one year after I left the service of the Princess.
Will you swear that?—Yes.
Neither by means of a letter, by personal application, nor in
any other manner?--No; but as I know what it is about, may
I be allowed to explain the matter?
First answer my question ; then explain what you mean, if
the House wishes.
Thu question being again put, sbn answered-7-About
month; after I left the Princess s service, I wrote to my sister
that application had been made to me; but that was a dottote ea-
ten** between me and my sister. That is ail I have to say.
Mr. Usweonan here expressed some dissatisfaction at the
translation of the Interpreter, and desired the Interpreter fur
the Queen to take his place. •
The Sotwitoa-Gt :MEAL wished to know the reason for such
a change.
31r. Baorcuata (with much warmth).—Uocanse, Mr. Soli-
citor-General, I wish to substitute my own laterpreter, and I
have a right to do so.- Your Interpreter shall occupy the place
where the Interpreter of her Majesty stood.
The LOltD CHANCELLOR wished that the Interpreter
might be so situated u to heal. distinctly.
Mr. WlLmixs r:Silieted the cra44-=trainat;an.
!fate you never said that the Princess was sarrounded by
spies when in Italy 7—l do not recollect having sa..l so.
' Nor represented it in any manner ?—I do nor recollect.
Win you swear that you have not7—i will net swear it;'
but I do not recollect.
Haar you a short—a treacherous memory7--.Not a very sllort
men:ory—but so long agu,l cannot recollect,
Do you not recollect it?—l cannot possibly recollect what I
said in conversation.
But either in conversation or in any other manner 7—l recol-
lect nothing at all about it.
Will you swear that!—l will not swear; but Ido not recollect.
Do you know a person of the name of Ompteda ?—I had
known him.
You have seen him ?—Yes.
Spoken with him ?—Yes; once at the Villa Y4lani. .
\Vireo he was on a visit to the Princess of course?—l believe
he was.
Was he often there?—: recollect having seen him once only
for some days.
Has he visited the Princess more than once while lea were
in her service?--Yes.

Mr. Wri.t:.tsts.7-1 ask how much of that paper which has
been so long before you has been submitted to your eye?
Here the Earl of LIMERICK complained of some person
behind the bar prompting the Counsel.
Mr. BIC/I:CHAU said, to prompt a witness would certainly be
highly censurable, but he never beard that it was a crime to
prompt a Counsel.
Mr. WtLemsts, to witness.—Hew much of that letter has beer:
submitted to your eye?—About a line and a half.
Mr. WILLIAMS (exhibiting to the witness another letter, so
folded, as to spew one halt of every line)—" Dd you see that?
Can you distinguish the hand-writing ?"—Yes.
Is it yeur land-writing ?—I cannot say exactly whether it is
or not.
Do you believe it is your hand-writing, or not cannot say
whether it is iny wiiiing, because it is rot exactly as I write.
Vas it not ia November, 1.317, that you quitted the service of
the Priucess?—Yes.

Of coursjot that time you knew all you Lave been deposing
to for these two days past ?—Yea.

Since the time yOu quitted. or were discharged from the ser-
vice of the Princess, did you nuver represent the Princess to be
a pets,n of a must excellent dzscription ?—I do net recollect.
Will you swear that you never represented that you would
willingly surrender up half your life fur the Princess, if she
could leave you thu other may have said that, but I
do not recollect.

Have you never said nor written, nor represented (reading
from the letter la,t shown to the witness), " If the Princess
could read my heart, she would he convinced of the infinite
res,ect, of the unlimited attachment, and of the perfect affection
I catertain for her august person?"—l recollect having written
several times to my sister, but I don't remember the contents
of them.

Will you swear you did not write your sister these words, or
words to that caret ?

After a great many evasive answers, the Counsel at length ex-
tracted the following :
I may have used such expressions, but at that time I was
much attached to her Royal Highness.
Was that some time after you was discharged ?—Not very
long. _ _

Wit.i.usts then read from the same letter as follows :
" How often, in a numerous circle, have I, with enthusiasm,
enumerated her excellent qualities, her rare talents, her mild-
ness, her piety, her charity, in short, all those perfections which
she possesses in so eminent a degree."—Do you recollect writing
some words like these to your sister ?—I do not recollect making
use of these expressions, but I have often written to my sister,
and spoken of the manner in which she had conducted herself
to me.

- Did you not use these very expressions ?—I don't recollect
exactly ; bur I may have written in the same sense.
Mr. Wittman again read frcm the letter-4, How nften have
I seen my hearers affected, and heard them exclaim that the
world is unjest, to cause so much unhappiness to one who so
de,erves it." Do you recollect writing your sister these
words, or words to that effect ?—I do not recollect whether I
have ss ritten these precise words; I may have written words in
that seizse,

Mr. Wittist.:s read farther, " And who is so worthy of being
harpy 't" D you recollect any of these words?
fhe answer "was the tame as with respect to the preceding
quotations.
You kept a icti.a, did you not, while you travelled with the
Princess ?—Yes.
D you remember writing to your sister, at follows, or to
the following ell'ect:—" You can't think, Marianne, what a
my little journal has made. It has been, if I may use the
expression, watched at. Every one has read it. Madame
Thamasi begged me to let her carry it to Lausanne. All the
Laglish wlio wan there wanted to see it immediately r—lt is
impossible recollect all I wrote to toy sister.
Do you remember writing her to that effect? Will you
swear that you have pot %linen to that efect t—l cannot swear
to that of which I ant not quite sure.
Mr. WILLIAMS again read front the letter: " I have been
delighted with having written soy jouri.al ; for you know I say in
it a great deal of the best and most amiable Princess in the world.
1 relate in detail all the traits of sensibility and generosity which
she has shewn, the manner in which she has Leen received, ap-
plauded, and cherished, in all the places we have visited." 1)o
you recollect writing in these words to your sister ?—I recol-
lect I wrote often to my sister about her Royal I lighness.
Did you ever write the words I have now read, or words to
that elfect?-1 don't recollect whether I ever wrote in that sense. •

Will you swear you never did ?—I will not swear I did not;
because lam not sure. . .

On the return of the Judges, the Lord Chief Justice of the
Court of King's Beech stated, that he had consulted with his
bretber Judges, and they had come to this decision :—Thal,
the Courts below, a Counsel should not le.: allowed to ine.uire
into the contents of a letter, until such letter was shewn to a
witness; because •the contents of every written paper ere its
be proved by. the paper itself, and by that alone. There-
fore they ought first to inquire if it was the heed:.writing
of the witness, aad if answered in the affirmative; they then
may produce the whole in evidence, and not detacle.d parts
only, which might convey a very different meaning, Their
LordThips were farther of opinion; that in the Courts below, a
witaless should not be called on to say whether a letter was write
ten by hire or not, if only apart of that letter was exhibited.
The Earl of LIVI?.11.e0OL said, such being the opinion of
the Judges, it was for their Lordship: to consider whether there
was objection to striking out from the minutes of that
all the evidence proceeded in respecting these letters.
Mr. BaounisAas hoped that their Lord:.iiips would hear Coon.
sal nn that point.
The Earl of DONOLTGIIMORE thought, that as the °pie
talon of the Judges had nearly invalidated the whole of their
proceedings that day, they ought not to stiffer the irregularity
to appear on their Minutes, and that it would be unjust
that it should go forth to the Public. It was, no doubt, the
object of Counsel to impeach aed discredit the evidence
brought again't their client, as much and as soon as possible;
but it was the duty of their Lordships to protect every witncee.
He therefore would move—" That tieci whole of the cross-exa-
mination this day should be expunged from the minutes, front
that time when the witness began to be examined respecting
the letters."

Lord GRENVILLE thought, before they struck out one
line of the evidence, they should wait until Wm:el pointed ma,
question by question, the pares wh:cli Ought to be expunged.
The Earl of DONOUGH MORE did nc.t wish to -rant:*
his opinions on the House ; he was, le ccnkssal, but one ci:n-
ple Lord among many—(4 laugh)-2-but he thought that the par-
ticular parts of the evidence affected by the opinion of the J utlEes
should be struck out.

Coinsel were then called in, when the LORD CIIANTLI.LOI
stated the revelation of the Jiouse is to their future guldanc:,
founded on the decision of the Judges.
Modem :144.11e Dimont was called in, and the cross-examination
resumed by Mr. Wattmus, in which the witness acknowledged,
page by page, to have written the whole c f the three letters pro-
duced, and which had occasioned so much discussion.
Mr. WILLSAMS then began to examine the witness as to the
win( nts of these letters..

The Arroaxav-GeNnam. objected to it.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the letters, if reed,
would speak for themselves.
Mr. WILLIAMS contnded for the tours; he was Eursuing with
much earnestness. Ile said, the Learned Crouse4 oprosite
could not adduce a single authority against it ; and it was essen-
tial to the interests of his Client, and to the administration of
justice, that that course should be allowed him, whiols was
neither contrary to law, nor the sacred principles of justice.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, that if their a.•)rd.,hips aura-int.,' the
new rule of evidence contended for by the Attorney-General,
the powers of Couusel would certainly be limited, but their
reason would remain unconvinced.

After the Arroalay-Gxxxam. had replied.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, . with the consent of the
' House, after some discussion, submitted a question to the Judges
upon the subject, as to the rules of evidence in the Courts below.
The Judgts re:ircd, and returned an opinion, first, That
Counsel could not ensmine a witness, according to the uniform
practice of the Courts below, on the contents of a document
which a witness ackoovelet.!ged-
In answer to the second Fart of this qtestion,namay, at what
stage of the proceedings such an examination would be regular,
the Judges thought that it must be deferred till after the open-
ing of the case for the defence. and constitute part of the deft nee.
--Rut at the sante time the; tb.night that ti Counsel wished -
those letters to be read on the cross-ezaminntloa of the witness,
with a view of founding any question upon them whose beatirg
would not otherwise be perceived, It became an excepted (*.lSt,
and the indulgence was usually granted .übject to all the ict-
conveniences of being taken as part of the cross-examination.
The witness, Lordsa Dintost, was again called In, and her
cross-examination resumed.
. .
Was promised nothing—expects notbing.—and does not be.

- .
Bev, she will receive anything for cooling so • Engintd to give
evidence. All that she stipulated for was, that her travtllitig
expenses should be paid.
ller MAJ.ESTei Counsel were now proceeding to request that
the letters before alluded to !night be read, when, it being withsa
a few minutes of five o'clock, it was ;Looked that the !lento
should adjourn.

E VEN ING STAR.

LONDON.

SATURI)AY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1820.
Larson Bnaxe.—Holiday at the Stock Exchange.

THE QUEEN.

Our Readers will have seen that the evidence of
Mademoiselle Dimont was nearly, if not wholly, anni-
hilated by her cross-examination yesterday. Had it
not been for this circumstance, the case would pro-
bably have closed with her ; but it will now be deemed
advisable, we presume, to adduce additional evi-
dence. The House of Lords may not therefore ad-
journ so soon as was expected.
The effect of the disclosures of Mademoiselle Di-
snout will hardly, however, be confined to her own
evidence. The knowledge of the circumstances stated
by her in her letters to her sister, that large offers
and promises were made to her for her evidence,
that she had received a power of drawing to any
amount, and that she expected high protection and
brilliant fortune from her journey to London, may go
far to throw a discredit on the evidence of all the
foreign witnesses. At all events the ATTORNEY'
GENERAL must see, that if he cannot explain these
circumstances satisfactorily, a great degree of suspi-
cion will necessarily be thrown over his case.
If it is ascertained that large offers of reward have
been made to any one witness in this case, the na-
tural presumption is, that offers have also been made
to others. The disposition to make use of such
means of obtaining evidence once proved, few per-
scns will require that in every instance the actual
offer of rew•ar d should be established. We all know,
.that to those who a►e disposed to purchase evidence,
and possess an unlimited ability to pay for it, there
can be little difficulty in some countries, at least, of
obtaining the commodity of which they are in want.
Unfortunately for those who bring forward these
witnesses, the most of them are from a country pe*
culiarly obnniious to the imputation of indifference
ict truth or falsehood; we say, if this disposition is
proved, for we are aware that, however suspicious
appearances arc, any opinion on the subject is yet pre-
mature; ht.t Mademoiselle Dimont's double entendre
was not a happy mode of removing the suspicion.
One lact on which our Readers mar, from the way
in which the answers of the witnesses were given,
have formed a wrong idca, is now pretty well cleared
up. In John Bull's homely lingo, when a person is
said to have been vraressed, the term is taken to
mean, that the individual was without clothe:: Who
of John's family could have believed that this term',
means merely in dishabille? and that to undress
meant to throw Or the outer travelling rote?—
Again, who could have believed, from the care taken
to point out Ole arrangement of the rooms, that the
QuEEN's, a:izs all, was at one end of a gallery, and
BERGAMI'S at another, with the common staircase
joining the gallery somewhere between ? or that
making an escape, meant leaving a mistress's room to
go to her own al-srtment ? And again, that if a man
were engaged in an int, igue, he would naturally take
a candle in his hand, and set out on his adventure
before the servants were gone to bed ! But, above all,
how comes it—for if the charge against the Quest;
have any truth in it whatever, the state of her bed
must have been, notoriously, the same for years—we
say, how comes it that no evidence has been attempted
to be offered of this fact by " the Countess of Co-
lombia," or any other of her MAJESTY'S domestics?
Can this be attributed to any want of diligence—to
any oversight—on the part of her MAJESTY'S enemies?
No—no. They have been abundantly assiduous,
not merely abroad but at home—at Ramsgate for
instance—but with how little effect let the evidence
bear evidence! Is it not singular that not a single re-
spectable or creditable—and may we not add, credi-
ble witness, should have yet been produced on this
most important trial, excepting only two British
Officers, neither of whom gave evidence of any cri.
urinal conduct on the part of her MAJESTY. Is it
not strange ?-j4 'tis passing strange !"

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, in his opening speech,
mentioned as an unequivocal proof of adultery, that'
the PRINCESS was seen early one morning coming out
of 13Enuasit's bed-room uith a pillow under her arm•
The servants, he said, had been sitting up later than
usual, and one of them had sat up till morning. See
how his witness answers him and his charge: instead
of being early in the morning, the circumstance is
alleged by Miss Dimwit to have happened so late as
ten o'clock in the forenoon—an hour after the usual
breakfast-time of the set vants. The absurdity of the
story, %%hen thus stated, is apparent. See how the
ease in every point breaks down under the Learned
Gentleman. Does the Italian reckoning of time in-
terfere here ?
With tespect to the state of the PRINCESS'S dress
in the tent at Auni---" in her jape"—the word
g :plp e" may be pro' etly used, and yet the PRINCESS
may have been completely dressed. Four years ago
it was the fashion, among Ladies, to wear a skirt or
petticoat only (which would be termed the "jupe,")
with body or spencer of. muslin or lace, and the
pettico.d ar skirt supported by ribands passed over
shatiliers.
