HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat 10 minutes be.
fore 10 o'clock, on which Prayers were immediately read by
one of the Reverend Bishops.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH rose to complain of an imputa-
tion cast by one of the Public Prints on a Noble Lord now ab-
sent foreign duties. It was in giving an account of the evi-
tierce of Theodore Majocco, and stated that he Went from Milan
to Vienna in the service of the hlarquis Onischalti, in August,
1817, where he remained six or seven months, and then entered
into the service of the British Ambassador, Lord Stewart. Now,
from his own knowledge he could declare, fhat this could not
be the case. Lord Stew.lrt larded in England in July, 1817,
and continued in England and Ireland until the month of
February, 1818. It is also a fact, well known from the pub-
lic proceedings that took place in the Court of Chancery,
that the Ncble Lord continued in England for many months
subsequent, so that it is impossible Lord Stewart could be at
Vienna at the time stated, or for some months after. It Is true
Maocco did not say he had seen Lord Stewart, but his Secre-
tary caly. He would not impute any blame to Major Deering,
the Secretary, whom he knew to be an honourable man. Nor.
did he think it dishonourable in any person in the service of the
British Government, procuring the examination of a person
likely to give evidence on a question on which the honour of his
Sovereign and the character of his country might depend. He
thought it necessary to say thus much, to refute an imputation
against the Noble Lord which he was confident would be found
as false as it was base.

The names of the I'etrs having been called over, and some
absences named,

Lord LIVERPOOL said, it was for their Lordships to con-
sider, whether a day or two's illness might not be a sufficient ex-
cuse for the absence of any Noblo Lord, especially as he could
see the evidence in the newspapers ?

Lurd GRENVI LLE thought it would be highly imptoper
that any Noble Lord should give his vote on this question, who
had not heard the whole of the evidence.

The LORD CHANCELLOR did not think an absence of a
day or two ought to disqualify a Peer from voting, if his at-
tendance waa feuerally regular..

The Counsel having been caled in li. a quarter part ten,

Mr. Esovotuix rose to complain of a statentent in a paper o:
this morning, which asserted that he had cross-exandned Majoer.i
yesterday, an the evidence of a letter which he had never seer-
The facts on which he had examined Majocco had been de-
posed to by most respectable persons.
The Arroatatv-Ginmast said, if his Learned Friend com-
plained of the Public Press, and he doubted not very justly,
how much greater reason had he to complain? a a Paper of thin
morning contained the most unjust and unmerited reflections on
his Majesty's legal advisers, and also the most shameful com-
ments on the evidence, lie should not have noticed this, ha./
not his Learned Friend circle a previous and similar complain:.

The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, the tnisreprcsentat;.:::,
in public 'mints sem notorious in a pamphlet just published, l•
who did not reccive a shilling cf the public money, vas
'down for £16,000 per annum.
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that in retard to
the daily Press, it was very difficult to know how to act on tl,u
prosent occasion, and it might be well to reserve any proceedinss
on the subject for further consideration. The pamphlet noticed
by the Noble Lord contained more falsehood than any other
publication extant.
The further examination of Francixo Barak, which was com-
menced yesterday, was now resumed by air. Eauxx.
Has the witness, during the voyage from Jaffa, seen the cords
of the.tent let down in the day-time ?—No answer.

ness comfortable, but I requested that her Royal Highness
would make a sacrifice, as I could not, consistently with my
duty as an Officer, admit to my table her servant Bergami, who,
though now admitted to her company, had been her menial ser-
vant. Capt. Briggs came to me afterwards, and said he had had a
conference with her Majesty, and that he believed there would
be so difficulty in coming to an accommodation ; but the Princess
required a day to consider upon the subject. The Leviathan
sailed next day. In the morning I waited on her Royal High-
ness to know her determination. She declined seeing me, but de-
sired Mr. Henman to mention to me that my request could not be
acceded to, and that her Royal Highness would provide a table
for herself.—Left under examination.

on the Isth inst. The effects are sworn under three
hundred pounds only ! The whole of the real and
Tersonal estate is given to his two sons RAPHAEL

mer season, in a house belonging to the Duchess.—

Monday night some thieves broke into the bed-
chamber of his Grace the Duke of BUCCLEUGH, at
his house in Privy-gardens, and stole a cash-box,
which contained £2OO in Bank notes. The room is
situated at the back of the house, next the Thames,
and his Grace had occasion to take some notes out
of the same box about seven o'clock in the evening.
At eleven o'clock he went to bed, when the window-
shutters were securely fastened ; but the robbery was
not discovered till the next morning.
Whea the Queen was passing by Carlton Palace,
on Tuesday last, a Clergyman, who had just come
to town from Bristol, was robbed of his gold watch,
chain, and three seals.—The same morning, Mr. G.
one of the Magistrates of Shadwell Office, was robbed,
near the House of Commons, of his gold witch.—
The same morning, a Mr. MAJOR was robbed of his
watch, in St. James's-square. One of the fellows was
secured, and recognized by another Gentleman, as
having robbed him of a silk handkerchief. He was
given in custody of a Police Officer.
The present proceedings against her MAJICTY re-
cal to our mind a circumstance which happened a few
years ago at Wigan, in Lancashire. A poor man,
who was very obnoxious to the wealthier part of the
population of that town, was tried at the Quarter
Sessions for a misdemeanour. After hearing evidence
on both sides, and also a very learned and impartial
summing up from the Chairman, the Jury were or-
dered to withdraw to consider of their verdict. After
a quarter of an hour's consultation they returned, and
the Foreman (a fat substantial Burgher) said, 46 Ned
Guilty, if he'll leave Town."
The Artisans of Sheffield have paid to Lord FITZ..
WILLIAM a very extraordinary tribute of respect, but
as honourable to them as well merited by him. They
have, by individual contributions of one penny each,
defrayed the expense of a superb silver vase, which
was on Friday last formally presented to the Noble
Earl, at Wentworth House, as a mark of the esteem
of the donors, and their approbation of his Lordship's
conduct during the twenty years he held the offices
of Lord Lieutenant and Custos Rotulorum, from
which the present Ministers dismissed him. The vase
was presented by Mr. PRIOR, the artisan by whom it
was made, accompanied with an address, to which
Lord FirzwiLLtAtd, who was much affected by the
present, made a very feeling reply.
Letters from Italy state, that serious disturb-
ances had broken out at Bologna amongst the Stu-
'dents of the University of that city, who had fought
amongst themselves with poniards. The disorders
had only been put down by the interference of the
Austrian troops.

GERMAN PAPERS.

We received last night the Algeteeine leitung to
the 16th inst. the Autrian 06server to the 12th, and
other German Papers. The following are extracts :

HANOVER, AUGUST 2.

I .
Several witnesses have passed through this city,
who are to give evidence before the House of Lords
respecting the conduct of the Queen of England,
during her last visit to Germany. Letters received
by the English here from their friends at home, do
not speak with the same confidence as formerly of
the peaceable issue of this famous trial. The deci-
sion in the Upper House, they say, does not seem
doubtful, but its reception in England, and the exe-
cution of any sentence are not so certain; the pru-
dent and collected conduct of the Queen since her re-
turn gains her, they say, important suffrages, and
the women in particular espouse her cause. The
principal inhabitants are now gone to the watering
places, but the labouring classes are employed in the
Royal Palaces, as the Duke of Cambridge is ex-
pected back this summer, and we have not given up
the hope of seeing the King.

VIENNA, AUGUST 9.
There is much talk here of a confidential circular
of a powerful Monarch in the North, addressed to all
the Sovereigns who signed the Holy Alliance, to in-
duce them to prepare their contingents of troops, for
the purpose of opposing the revolutionary measures
of demagogues in the South of Europe.

VIENNA, AUGUST 12.
From one of our Correspondents at Leghorn we
have received the following particulars of the dread-
ful events at Palermo, as related by an eye-witness
who left that city on the 19th. When this traveller
departed, the Military, after three days' massacre,
had been entirely overpowered ; several hundreds lay
dead on the streets, the rest were imprisoned in the
dungeon of the galley slaves, before which the same
sentinels kept guard who had been confined there
only a few days before. Cannon, loaded with grape-
shot, are planted before the prison to fire on the im-
prisoned soldiers at the first signal. Three or four
thousand inhabitants of Palermo likewise lay dead
on the streets.

The Government, if such it can be called, was in
the hands of the ♦arious Directors of Trade, who
commanded the armed populace, and formed a kind
of Senate, whose despotic orders were summarily
esecuted by the mob under its influence. The gene-
ral cry was, " Independence, and eternal separation
from Naples r but those who first set up this cry had
already disappeared from the stage, or, if any one of
them shewed himself, he was immediately the victim
of popular fury.

The heads of the Princes Cattolica and Villa Franca
(the last Minister during the Sicilian Parliament, and
both the most zealous revolutionists in the country)
were fixed upon poles in the middle of the city, and
their bodies quartered and exposed in four different
streets. Many other persons, among whom are men-
tioned the Commander of the Port, and, as some
affirm, Prince Palermcrand Prince Couto, have like-
wise been murdered; the victims of private revenge
ate innumerable.

For the mere attempt to conceal three or four of-
ficers, a man was shot, and his body nailed to the
door of his own house. A great many houses were
plundered, or the furniture thrown into the street
and burnt. To increase these horrors, provisions
were becoming scarce, as nothing was brotight to
market in the general confusion, while thousands of
armed peasants kept pouring into the city on all
sides. It was generally believed, that in case of fa-
mine the soldiers in the prisons would be left to starve.
An embargo was laid on all vessels in the harbour
of Palermo, and the oars of all the row-boats taken
away. The crews of many of those vessels were
thrown into prison.
As far as was known, the rest of the Island was
tranquil, but the wish for independence and separa-
tion from Naples was general. Messina alone seemed
inclined to adopt the Constitution, if the seat of Go-
vernment were removed from Palermo to Messina.
Accounts from Palermo of the 20th are more con-
solatory. The Archbishop proceeded through the
streets with the Cross, and exhorted the people to
humanity and tranquillity. It was hoped that the
latter would be gradually restored.

We were yesterday favoured with the perusal of e
file of Buenos Ayres Papers up to the 18th May, a
few days later than those we had previously received.
The one of the 17th contains two Proclamations from
the Chili Government, dated the 14th April, ad-
dressed to the inhabitants of the River Plate and Pro-
vince of Cuyo, describing the intended project of
CARRERA to create a re-actioa in Chili, and warning
1 them not to aid or countenance it. .

A lettter from Constantinople, dated July 15th,
says, "The news which announced a Treaty of Peace
to have been concluded between Ali Pacha and the
Ottoman Government, has not been confirmed. The
contrary is equally uncertain. Rumour has gained
ground that the Pacha of Scutari, who advances
with a considerable army against Ali, his succeeded
in routing a body of his troops, under the command
of one of his nephews. It is also reported that a
victory has been obtained over Veli Pacha, one of
the sons of Ali, and his palace at Lepanto burnt.—
One of the children of Veli, it is said, has perished
in the flames. Nevertheless, this intelligence is only
founded upon hearsay, as the Government does not
let us know what passes in that country. We can
only speak with confidence of the continual sending
of troops, and of artillery and munitions of war to
the camp of Pelwah Baba Pacha, near Salonica.—
The forces sent out by the Governor of this city, have
taken, without resistance, many villages within the
jurisdiction of All. A fleet sailed in the month of
June to combat on sea the rebellious Pacha. It has
been joined by several vessels of war. The squadron
now consists of twelve vessels besides gun-boats and
galleys. The feast of Buram began on the 11th of
July. Nothing is yet known concerning a change of
Ministers. They speak of an important nomination
in the Pachaliks, that of Pascho Bei, who owes this
distinction to an attempt to assassinate him made by
Ali Pacha. Lord strangford remains to the end of
the year. The state of health in Constantinople is,
not very encouraging. The plague makes fresh pro-
gress iu the Capital and its environs."
