COLONEL BROWN:

The Marquis of LANSDIWN begged to tall the attention
of their Lordships, to the Correspondence that had been laid
before the House respecting the couduct of 'Camel Brown.
He confessed that the Correspondence never satisfied him, u he
had, at the time hi read it, a letter from a gentleman of whose
veracity he did not entertain the slightest doubts vrhieh threw
much additional light on the subject. Although he had not
been under any injunction of secrecy with regard to this letter,
yet he had not thought it necessary to make it public. But
another letter on the same subject had appeared in the public
papers, (alluding to the letter of M. Marietd, dated SepteMber
20th, and printed in our Paper of yesterday.) Whoever had
read that letter, m►st feel dissatisn•d with the documents laid.
before the House, and that the business could not rest here,
but further enquiry must take place. Every one must feel, from
the complexion of these letters, that an improper interference on
the part of Colonel Brown had taken place,through the medium
of a third person.

The Noble Marquis then read extracts from two letters from
M. Marietti, one dated the 16th, the other the 20th, of Septem-
ber. He said it was buposaible to consider the conduct of Co.
lonel Brown as a mere act of friendship, to a person of whom he
bad no knowledge, and who was residi6g In another country,
and this done by an agent for the opposite party. It was
not possible for a man like M. Marietti, living under an
absolute and despotic Government, having a communication,

made by a person in authority from another country in
alliance with that in which be lived, but to be influenced to se-
cure his son from a danger which he (the Noble Marquis hoped
unjustly) thought threatened him. He thought it would be de-
sirable that these two letters shL'P.ld be made evidence to bring
the subject further before the House.
'Lord LIVERPOOL agreed with the Noble Marquis, that,
after the knowledge of these two letters, the business could not
end here. Ile only wished that all opinion as to the conduct of
Colonel Brown, should be suspended until further correspond-
, cnce and enquiry on the subject bad taken place; He, however,
felt assured that Colonel Brown never had any direct commu-
nication with Marietti on the subject, and that it had been
through the medium of a third person (M. Albertonio), nor
did it appear in the course of that correspondence, that
the Alien Bill had been mentitmed. lie (the Earl of Liver.
pool) thought the best triode would be to make those let-
ters official, either by calling M. Marietti
,to the liar of the
house to identify them, or by any other mode most con-
genial to the wishes of their Lordships, and which might inter-
fere as little is possible with public business. He certainly
thought that stone proceedings should be had Upon them.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN observed, that neither the
letter or M. Marietti, nor that of Allsertonlo, gave any contra-
dictitei tb the assert/On that the Alien BM had been mentioned,
:atheists they did not state It,
It being agreed by the House, that the original letters should
be produced and made the Marquis of Lastsnowm pre-
sented the fftters.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, Oat M. Marietti should
be sand in, tad sworn as to the identßi df the letter.,
,leeriph Matiotti was then called in and sworn. Five ktters
'were thes presented to him to identify;,-No. t< was a letter

The Ma *vials of LANSDOWN inquired of 14.• Marietta; if
he bad received any other letters on the subject?'

M: Marietti stated that he had received a very snort letter
from Aibertonio, saying that he (karietti) was interfering too
mnehi.and that he had been seen in the house of Do Mont. To
this letter he bad answered, that IL Albertonie had beer mis-
informed, and that it was nortrus that he had been at the house
of De Mont;

The MarguNd pANSPOCIitr inquired who M. Merl wis ?
M., Maned replied, 'that he was a friend of Colonel Browns
who often went to the house of his father.

The LORD CHANCELLOR wished that M. MulettiH
should to-Morrow morning prod.& the letter of Alitertiadib
witch he understood him to have in his posseseira.
Counsel were then called in, and
Mr. Wn.traves immediately recommenced. There
said, no subject connected whit this case to Which his Tinted
Friend and himself had directed their observations more fte.
queerly or with more force thaw to that part of it which regarded
the deficiency of witnesses for the prooecutioni by which her
Majesty's Counsel would have been prevented from the necessity
of calling witnesses at all. Their Lordships would permit him
to commence his statement this day by noticing one or two facts
illustrative of the dilliculties under which her Majesty hboured"
It would be remembered that the general wire of the evidence
of Kresse was as to her seeing the Queers and Bergami tepther
in a bell-room,
.and the arm of Bergaiti in a certain position,
Bce. Now it was necessary, that all the information that
could be collected in Carlaruhe, where that circumstance was
add to have taken place should have been brought forward. It
happened that a Chamberlain of the Grand Duke of Baden, had
been In attendance upon her Majesty during her whole reel-
dence there. Upon the propriety of calling such evidence it
would be needless for him to expatiate; and measurer were
taken to procure the attendance of a person so important to the
case. Her Majesty wrote letter with her own hand, and
sent it by a mkt respectable person, the brothel of the
Queen's Attorney-General, to secure the attendance oP that

Chamberlain. That letter did not obtain the production of tWe
witness. She then wrote another to the Chambletkin, and another
to the Grand D.:;te, but without success. Three *Veda'. Blest
sengers failed in producing that witness, who was himself moat'
anxious to come ; and who, on the last occasion, declared, with
tears in his eyes, that he had orders to the contrary. There was
another instance of difficulty. A woman was compelled to embark
upon the opposite side, by those who had refused to permit the
Chamberlain to appear. Again, it appeared that the Queetr had
seen a Palace at Rastadt, of which she wished to become the
occupier: The Grand Duke had at first no objection. The
treaty upon the subject was allowed to go on so far, that the

Chamberlain had gone the length of purchasing furniture to
equip the Palace. but suddenly intimation was given to
her, that hrr residence there might not be agreeable, and the
Palace *as refused. Again, it was net an tmtnaterial fact in

the view of the Queen's Counsel, that no evittettee had been ad-

duced, upon the part of the prosecution, with respect to the cha-
racter and conduct of Berganti, while in the service of Gen. Pints.
An application bad been made, at an early period, to General
Pino to appear upon this occasion. But some communication,
k was belitied, took place between the General and the Ans.
Dian Government, in whose service the Gene ral was, and it wa
inthnated to Mm, that if he came to England, be could not
tome in his uniform. This intimation appeared rather extra-
'ordinary, and the General wishing to know whether if he came
Mould lose his Commission, no answer was returned, and
Os seal Pino did not and would not come. Nor was it without
saw that the Queen's Counsel bad stated, that a vigorous
demand would be made of every witness to be produced
on the other side. Did not those things furnish powerful
argument upon the part of the Queen, upon a subject which,
without facts, could not be argued upon at all. 'There were
other persons whose presence here was interdicted..-phridans
and lawyers, who remained at a distance became they were
under apprehensions from the potter of theAustrlan Governnsent.
There were others, too, whose evidence it was not yet known
would be wanted who were kept away by the interferenise either
of high or low Allies. This statement he made to their Lcidships
as auxiliary to the most powerful facts stated by lift:Leaned
Friend, and reasoned upon with such irresistable effeet. Having
ddne so, he trusted their Lordships would permit him to make
a few general remarks upon the ease. If, as the adverse suppo-
sition was, the crimes of the Queen were of an open, stadia.
guised, notorious description, and therefore of a nature dew.'
gatory to the Government of the Kingdom, and to the King-
dom itself, how happened it that the charges were so loag
in being proved t If a Man assassinated andther at Charing-
crosst in the day time, there would be evidence enough of the
fact. It was the time at which such crimes were committed,
the darkness of the night, that rendered that difficult of prod.
Now, if the imputed conduct of the Queen had been so
open and profligate, how happened it, her would ask, that thil
evidence was drawn from apocryphal and deubtflaVT-Ifino,

How was it that some of this sort of proof had been adduced.
and that there was a total blank and silence upon it, and thaki

too, when the Counsel for the Bill were in possession of Prystry
the chambermaid to her Majesty? That person was present at•
the time when the passion, if it existed, was in its heyday, and
still net only no proof had been given, but no witness bad been
called, upon so important a subject. That witness had been *
