was perchasesble by a few hundred fines ; and, in that
fienetrin where they were to easy of attainment, they were ati.
sedately necessary as as apposes, to a situation of such
primes as that to which Bergami had been raised. Indeed, the
bemoan of rank were, In Italy, considered of arch consequence
in every respectable employment, that many persons in this
country had naked laws from thence, in which they were
addressed as Lords, without having any other claims to the title
than their worth as Ovate individuals. Mr. Vitard, the amiable
&Acker foe the Queen, had recently received a letter from
that country which ailed upon him to take lodgings for a family
as near as possible ti his Z.rdship's Palace !--(d lesiio).—There
was aturther crime • with which her Majesty was charged, to
which he thought It necessary to call their Lordships' satanic,*
the butoduetke of Bengali's relations to the service of her
Majesty. Could anything be more natural in a dependent than
to serve-his own family? It bad net appeared that her Ma-
jesty ,knew of the relationship, but certainly he was doir.g
ao more than his duty, although by dant so, he raised a
prejudice against himself and his mistress in the beans of
those who were discarded. From the period of their arrival
at Naples and their going en board the polecat, he officiated as
Chamberlain, and without disguise; and was it not rather too
much, from that ciretunstance, to infer the consequence stated in
the preamble of the Bill? The Learned Counsel then referred
to the evidence of Majocchi, as to irk end taken place on board
the polacca, and repeated the evidence in contradiction to the
maims statement of that witness, who said he had heard
the Princess and Berland together under the tent, while

istwas lying on a sofa in the Cabin below. This abandoned
wretch, he said, introduced what he heard as a parallel to what
be had seen, when be was half asleep, and must, if be bad laic
on a sofa at the time, have gone into another cabin, and taken
a sofa and brought it to that which was under the tent where
the Queen lay, for the purpose of lying upon it, to hear
what was going forward between her and Berpani. The
evidence of Pacuno—of Captain Flynn—and of Lieutenant
Hownam, gave the lie direct to this abominable fabrication.
It was too much to infer, from the mere circumstance of Res-
ealed having been seen handing her Royal Highness down from
the deck to the cable below, on the occasion of the squall which
occurred during the night, that be mast have slept under the
teat with the Princess. The whole of Mr, Ifewnattee belief
on this subject was founded on mere hearsays,— which were
as applicable to other persons of her Royal Highness's suite
as to Demand. What was more natural or likely thaa
that when the weather was fair, some of the female attendants
of her Royal Highness should rennin with bel vhder tit, tent;
and, on the contrary, when the weather became rough and
squally, or when there was an alarm of ;intern, that she should
be rather attended.by some of the male persons of her esta.
blislunent ? It had been asked, whether Lieutenants Flynn or
Hownam could not have pertained this duty as well ?
Hownam, when a lissuelenseelles effect was put to Itim,had said,
most properly, that he trusted they would. Bet Mr. Blownam
and Mr. Flynn had other duties to perform on such occasions,
In the case of a squall, they must have been employed in
attending to the ship, and giving that aid of superior 'sea-
manship, which English sailors possess in so superior a
degree beyond the sailors of any other nation in the worl4.
It was necessary that the persons in attendance on the Princes*
should not be their who were subject to be called away, but
each as could be.eonstantly in waiting on. her Royal Highness.
and hive nothing else to do but to attend to her promo:ton and
comfort. It was in evidence, moreover, that during tbn Ingle
of the voyage homewards, her Royal Highness balk ewer
once undressed herself at night, bet had reposed, iq
clothes- which she wore daring the day ; and even admit.
ring the possibility that some male person might base also oak
dorsally dent in his clothes on the bedstead, which steed at right
angles with the oafs on which the Princess reclined; was the
fact of criminal menection, the only inference that a reasonable,
candid, and gaseous mind could draw from such an accidents;
perhaps unavoidable positlim of the parties? Hat the fact was,
that there was nothing in the whole evideaccooasoddog but
the belief of Lieutenant Hownam, which was no evidence m
negative the presumption that Bergand had slept, on the voyage
home, in the same place where he had slept en the voyage res—
namely, in the dining-room. A great deal had been said
about the bath scene; but nothing could be conceived mart,
absurd and ridiculous then the preaches on which the C 01141;:
don of guilt here rested. A, Lady, of ea, saes on board of a
polaeca in the Mediterranean sea, is in need of a bath; she
chooses to have it in a small cabin, which, it bad been demi
proved could not contain the macldne she was to bathe in; ant,
because, forsooth, Beeped ordered a female servant to eau!
in linen to her Royal.- Mistress to dry with, therefore was 4
established beyond all doubt, that her Royal Highness nine have
enjoyed the bath, in the presence of Beeped, in the small cabin,
where it could not be enjoyed at all ! The Learned Gentleman
ferred to those parts of the evidence of Patens and Gargano,
which proved the dimensions of the cabin, and the lemmedbility of
its containing the bathing tub the Princess was in the custom
of using, The whole Oche bath story rested, in shalom the evi-
dence of Idajoecbi and De. Meat, and it was of a piece with the
whole of the evidence of these persons—a piece of invention as
absurd as it was incredible. The Learned Gentleman begged
now to direct their attention W the neat case of inference which
the Attorney-General bad stated in his opening, namely, that

when Saedai arrived in the aggin.time with a dispatch from Ge-
neral Pinta, he saw Bement' coming, as the Attorney-General
had _affirmed, out of the room of her Royal Highnesses--
Without saying anything at present as to the credibility of this
witness; he would ask., bow was the statement of the Attorney-
General borne out by the evidence of Sacchi ? He does not
state that he saw Berpasianning out of the room of her Royal
Highness; be saw bin coming out of a room, but he neither
knows who occupied that room, nor the rooms beyond it; and,
what is more important, he does not even know where the
room was situate which was occupied by her Royal Highness.
A. Stead kad thus tatty negatived the allegatio. , there an, of
crone, nothing in his evidence CO this point to corroborate;
but k might not be amiss to observe, that if there bad been
anything to cordlna, anther of the two servants of Remand, uric h
whom &cad connatmkated on that occasion, had been called.
The mention of this minion led the Learned Gentleman
to observe that it might be worth while to make a catalogue of
the cases, dhdnguisking those which were supported only by
one witness, these which were supported by soveral witnesses,
and those which were supported by no evidence at all. There
were in all sixteen overt acts alleged in the opening of the At-
tar:my-General, of the lint three of which Naples was the scene—
namely, the first, or bridal night; the snaked ball at the
Theatre of St. Carlos; Ind the meeting on the Corridor,
depended on the evident* of Mademoiselle De Most alone.—
Then there were the two occurrences at Varresse and Lugano;
neither of these bad been attempted to be supported by any evi-
dence whatever The ease of Catania depended on De Moot
alone ; that of Taman, on the evidence of 'Nobody ! The incident
at Ephesus had been attempted to be proved by blaiocchi alone;
and all that he mated was cotairlicted by several unimpach-
