of Harlequin and Columbine is Italy supported in the same
manner as in England.
Lord COMBERMERK—Do you know whetiter any third
person slept in the tent of her Royal Highness ?—1 do not know,
a third person might have slept there.
Will you swear that you never saw Bergami kiss the Prin-
cess of Wales ?—I will swear that I never saw Bergami kiss
the Princess.
The Earl of LIMERICK then examined the witness, who
said, that be conceived it necessary that some person should
sleep near her Royal Highness as a guard. Persons might
have slept in a hammock on deck, but the only persons proper
to do so were the witness and Captain Flynn. Count Schiavini,
unaccustomed to being on board ship, could not be expected to
sleep there. The English sailor was not on board at the time.
We might all have slept outside the tent as well at one. There was
no order given to watch particularly ever hor Royal Highness.
We had no suspicions of the crew, or of any person on board.
Did you not think it improper 13ergatni's sleeping in the same
tent with her Royal Ilighness?—No ; from all the circumstances
I did not think it improper. The hatches were nottlosed, idl
the doors were open below—there was no mystery iu it. .
I would ask Lleutemint Hownam, as a married man, if he
would have no objection to Mrs. Hownam sleeping in the same
tent with a male person and the light put out?—! think that
every person judges of his own wife without making compari-
son. I can only answer the question by saying that I make no
such comparisons.
Did you see no impropriety in a male and female so sleeping?
—Considering all the circumstances I certainly did nut. I
have seen her Royal Highness in such peculiar situations.
What do you mean by these •peculiar situations ?—I have
seen her Royal Highness, at Ephesus, sleep in a shed in which
you would not put cows in this country, among horses, Turks,
mules, &c.
The Earl of LIMERICK was putting some questions as to
the witness's opinions, to which
Earl GREY objected. Matters of facts were proper to be
elicited, but not a witness's opinions and observations.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE argued, that if a witness were
to be questioned as to his opinion on every subject, it would
open the way to interminable examinations.
The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested that the question
should be struck out of the Minutes, which was done accordingly.
The Earl of LIMERICK said he had no object but to elicit
the truth, and if the Learned Counsel (Mr. Brougham) would
suggest any questions to him, he should most willingiLeut them.
laugh).
Did you see the Princess of Wales and Louis Bergami dance
together at any time ?—No ; I saw. Louis Bergami dressed as
Harlequin; we all danced together; I was dressed as a Greek.
Who was the Columbine when Louis Salami was dressed as
Harlequin ?—I do not recollect; if I recollected to have seen her
Royal Highness dressed as Columbine, I would have stated it.
Do you recollect to have seen her Royal Highness perform
the part of an Automaton in another tarce ?—Yes.
Did not the performance consist in buying and selling an Au-
tomaton ?—Yes.
What did the Automaton do, sit, walk, ride, or what ?—lier
Royal Highness was standing in a box.
Do you conceive that such an amusement was consonant to
the high dignity of a royal personage ?—I could "not enter into
her Royal Highness's mind, but I did not think her conduct
derogatory, knowing the pleasure which she takes in that sort
of entertainment. Adjourued at Four o'clock.

a thing is in itself so diabolical that, of course,none but
rank and inveterate Jacobins could even imagine it I
In sober seriousness we say, that the inhabitants of
this vast Metropolis ought to thank Heaven that the
Hand-bill conspiracy has failed ; for it was planned,
we have no doubt, for the purpose of creating an oc-
casion to let loose the military upon the people.—
Created by our Ministers ? Heaven forbid ! No,
but by men who wished—no matter at what expense •
of human misery and blood—to recommend them-
selves to our rulers, for zeal, diligence, and a wonder-
ful tact at scenting out traitors. And mark the infer-
nal object combined with this !—to implicate the
QuEss in a pretended conspiracy against the Govern-
ment. Yes, to give so complete a turn to the balance
of justice, as not only. to bolster up a scouted prose-
cution, now sinking beneath contempt, but to havl
the QUEEN of ENGLAND branded with rebellion and
treason !—Yes, such appears to have been the object
of the frustrated excitement, which was to have
stirred up the ignorant and unwary to attempt a
practical exposition of gs an express .Act of Parlia-
ment, which makes it penal to question the right of the
Nation to limit the succession to the Throne!"—Bat
we must not dwell at present on this topic. There
will, if we mistake not, be, ere long, no little noise
about it, and the people, high or low, who have
been connected with it. •
The examination, cross-examination, and re-exa-
mination of Mr. HOWNAM occupied the whole of
yesterday. -His belief, in opposition to Mr. FLYNN'S
evidence, was, that BERGAMI slept under the tent on
deck, in the voyage from Palestine to Italy; and we
rather think this must be the fact, for the Counsel
for the Quzaw stated thil fact, on the opening of
the case, and assigned a sufficient reason for it.—
But the idea of undressing, as is usual when people
on shore go to bed, must not be joined with the cir-
cumstances ; for the voyagers were more in the cir-
cumstances of passengers by a stage-coach, who sleep
how they can in the vehicle, than of chow who re-
gularly stop to refresh themselves with a night's rest.
There were not even bed-clothes in the tent ; and
her 31.4.sxsrr slept, and must of necessity hare slept
in full attire, and so must BERGAMI; and let it also
be recollected, that the passage from the dining-
room to the tent, was open during the whole
voyage, and the Officer on deck' was in the habit
of conversing with her
_MAJESTY at all hours
of the night, and of drawing aside the canvass
opening of the tent, when the noise of the rigging
prevented him from hearing her.MAJESTY. " There
was a necessity for having a tent on deck, on account
of the heat and the noise and smell of the animals,
below." " BERGAMI S bed below was screened off."
This refutes the statement of the Queen's bed being
visible from it. Mahomet's dance was the common
dance of the East—and chiefly performed in derision
of the Doctor, and to prove that he stood in no need
of physic ! BERGAMI'S dress with pillows, was in
derision of a pompous Consul. The QUEEN did not
dine only with BERGAMI in the porch of the ruinei
mosque, near Ephesus, but with her whole suite ;
and was everywhere received with great distinction
except at Vienna, where Lord Srawater was Ambat;
sador, and where, of course, neglect or insult might'
have been least expected !
Let it be recollected, that in the examination and
cross-examination of Englikh witnesses, the questions
are put in rapid succession, are of all kinds, the one,
often having no relation whatever to those immedi-
ately before, and the witness kept standing, sometimes
for six hours—as was the case yesterday. How few
could stand this ? . The examination of the witnesses
for the prosecution was, on the contrary, conducted
slowly through the medium of an Interpreter ; and
while the Interpreter was translating the question a
witness had time to collect himself. But the English
witnesses have no such repose : question follows
question with a rapidity which, when continued for
a .great length of time, is sufficient to bewilder and
stupify any mind.
We have been informed, that before the examina-
tion of Lieutenant FLYNN, a Message had been pre-
pared to be sent from the KING to the Peers, to stop
farther proceedings; but his examination seems,
strangely, to have given fresh confidence to the pro-
secutors. The business goes on this day as usual, but
we should not be surprised were Mr. HowsAM's evi-
dence (who is again on examination this day) to cause
the delayed Message to make its appearance.
THE NINTH DAY OF TIM DEFENCE.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
The House met this morning, at ten o'clock. Prayers were
read by the B:shop of &uric. On the roll being called over,
the absentees were more numerous than on most preceding day!.
MODE OF CROSS-EXAMINATION.
The Earl of BLESSINGTON rose, and, u well as we could
hear, observed, that in a Morning Paper which he held in his
hand (we believe the Times), It was remarked that, in conse-
quence of the hurried rapidity with which, questions were put

THE QUEEN.

lion answer
in his part of she House would not hear one answer out of ten.
Lieutenant HOWNAM was now recalled, and appeared at the Bar.
Statstinsd by their Lordships.
By Lord WALSINGHA3L—Do you know where her
Royal Highness took the bath on board the polacca ; in what
cabin, or where?-1 never saw her Royal Highness take the
bath on board, and consequently cannot tell.
By the Earl of CARNARVON.—You have said you were
once with her Royal Highness at Trieste. Can you state of your
own knowledge whether, after you joined her Royal Highness
in Italy, she was ever at Trieste, except on the occasion you
have referred to ?—I can. She never was there except on that
occasion.
By Lord KINGSTON.—Were you In the Princess's service
before Bergand 7—No.
Do you know the reason why Bergami was selected to guard
her Royal Highness, in preference to yourself or Lieutenalit
Flynn 7—l cannot well speak to that.
Is it customary for a sentinel to sleep on his watch 7—lt is
certainly not customary fbr a sentinel to sleep on his watch.
What ships have you served In ?—Many.
Be so good as name them and the Captains 7—The Africaine,
Captain Manby ; the Lively, Captain Hammond ; the Centaur,
Sir Samuel Hood ; the Barfleur, Captain M'Leod ; the Lavinia,
Lord Wm. Stewart; the Redstance, Captain Adams and Cap.
fain Rozenhagen; the Andromeda, Captain Palm ; and the
Undaunted, Captain Usher.
How many years have you been in the service?—Since the
early part of 1803.
By Lord DARNLEY.—You have said diet there was no
mystery or concealment whatever when her Royal Highness
slept in the tent on deck. Did you observe whether, on other
occasions, when Bergami may have slept near her Royal High-
new, during that journey, there was any mystery or conceal-
ment 7 None whatever.
What was your opinion or Bergami as a servant other Royal
Highness 2—l must confess that he was exceedingly attentive,
and most ready in his duty. -
Was he a man who was more likely than any other to be
selected, on account of his fidelity and attachment, to guard her
Royal Ilighness?—l should think that the way in which I have
seen hisn'treated bythe Marquis Giuzilieghri, and other persons,
was likely to operate to that effect.
Yon had no suspicion in your own mind ibom the eircum-.
stance of his being so selected 2—None.
You were asked yesterday a question respecting Mrs. How-
nem, supposing her to be in a ntuadon similar to that of the
Princess, sleeping with a male person, under the same tent,
which question you declined to answer. Pray how old is Mrs.
Ilownam ?- (Earessions of disapprobation front massy e their
lordships)—She is about thirty years of age.
• Are you living together as man and wife ought to do?—
Strong tokens of disapproval).
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the question was
quite inachnissible.--It was ordered to be struck out.
Lord DARNLEY.—Ax you acquainted with lieutenant
Flynn n—l am.
Do you believe him to be a man of honour and veracity?
The LORD CHANCELLOR.—The only question which,
can be put to this effect must be—ls lieutenant Flynn a man,
to be believed un his oath?
Lord DARNLEY.—Do you think lieutenant Flynn is a
man who is to be believed on his oath believe Lieutenant
Flynn to be a t erfect man of honour.
From the knowledge you have of Lieutenant Flynn, do yen.
believe thatbis understanding is always perfectly clear and cor-
rect 7—l cannot presume to pass an opinion on the understand-
-
ing of a man of my own age.
The question and answer were ordered to be struck out.
By Lord DE DUNSTANVILLE.—What distance was the
steerage from the tent?—From the helm? About five feet.
You have said, that OR the voyage from Jaffa, lieutenant
Flynn slept sometimes on deck ; I ask you, whether, when Mr.
Flynn slept there, was not her Royal Highness sulidently pro-
tected 7—He did not sleep constantly on deck.
But when he did sleep on deck, do you think her Royal
Highness was then sufficiently protected?—Yes, sufficiently
protected.
If Lieutenant Flynn bad slept on deck during the whole of
the voyage from Jaffa to Syracuse, was it necessary for any
other person to sleep in the tent near her Royal Highness ?
There might * many reasons, the ship rolling, an accident in
the tent, a sea breaking over it, or twenty things.
The LORD CHANCELLOR complained that the wham*
was inaudible, and wished him to raise his voice so as to be
heard by every Peer in the House, if possible.
Examination resumed.
Am I to consider the answer you have last given as the answer
•
to my question 7—Yes.
You have said that on the voyage from Jaffa, you sometimes
went up the ladder at night, and finding that the Princess had
retired, you tame down immediately. How can you reconcile
this with thinking that there was nothing improper in Ber-
gamts sleeping all night in the tent 7—Because the tent was
closed all round ; but the hatchway and doors were open.
You stated that there was no light in the dining-room 7—l
think there was not.
What occasioned your going through the dining-room to the
tent P—From the habit of going there all day ; I did not know
that the tent was closed. It was not absolutely in the night.
It was about ten o'clock, I think.
Wh.t period of the year was this 7—We left Jaffa, T think,
on the 17th July, and arrived at Syracuse on the 40tb August.
Do you mean to say, that at that period of the year it was
not dark at ten o'clock ?—lt was night-time ; it was dark—as
dark as it is at such an hour in our own climate.
When you went up the ladder, you did not know that the tent
was closed ?--I did not.
Earl GROSVENOII.—Have you any reason to believe, from
the violent attack that was nude enter Royal Highness's home
at Genoa, or from any other circumstances, that her Royni
Highness had any particular apprehensions es to her personal
safety 7---She had, because she mentioned it to me.
Did she in consequence of such apprehensions express to you a
wish to be more closely attended by the male part of her at-
tendants ?—Yes ; I have heard her frequeetly mention this
affair' and say, that she would in future have some person to he
constantly near her. I cannot recollect her exact words, bog
this was the substance of them.
Was it in consequence of these apprehensions P—Yes, in eon-
seence of these apprehensions. •
Lord COMBERMER F.—You have stated. that in conse-
quence of the lolling vf the ship, as well as for the protection of
her Royal Highness, that some one should sleep in the .tent
would this have been better done by Lieutenant Flynn or your-
self than a landsman, particularly as to the rolling of the ship?
.—Were that the only cause, I certainly think a seaman most
proper.
Would not a seaman have rendered her Royal Highness 84E-
cleat service 7—l believe he would.
The Marquis of DOWNSHIRK—You stated, that you had

Our Readers will find, in our fourth page, as ample
a detail as our limits allow, of the various Processions
of yesterday to Brandenburgh House, to present Ad-
dresses to the QUEEN. We are happy to say that,
notwithstanding the immense crowds, we have not
heard of a single accident ; nor ought we, perhaps,
to omit congratulating the country generally, but
especially the relatives of the many thousands of un-
armed and defenceless men, women, and children,
who assembled on this occasion, " marching," too,
" in military array, with inscribed banners, and music
and staves"—(" bludgeons," as thick as a man's finger)
—that no stipendiary Magistracy interfered, and let
loose upon them corps of drunken Yeomanry Ca-
valry, to flesh their new-ground sabres. In a certain
place, not a hundred miles from Manchester, such
perilous doings as we witnessed yesterday, would
be held as seditious assemblages, endangering the
?eaee of the country, and threatening the subversion
