Eramined by their Lordships.

By Lord ROSEBERIIII.—When you went to the great
hp.l,e, were you alone, or was any per4oa with you ?—Alone,

ilone, alone.

Chu kept the account of your expenses in going to Vienna?
—I kept it myself.
Ilow could you keep it when you said you could neither read
nor write ?—The Baok of Posts ,hewed all the expenses.

11, Earl GREY.—Then are we to understand distinctly that
DU can neither read nur write?—l know only to write my
u:tme, and hardly that.
And that is all am not able to read letters or keep accounts.

The Noble Earl then ordered that part of the witnebs's for-
mer examination to be read over to him, in which he stated that
he could not recollect how long he had been in Mt. Hyatt', ser-
vice, at Gloucester. because he had not the book with hint on
which he marked these things.

Asked what he meant by that book ?—Witness---I said, I had
not the book to shirk upon. I did not say the book in which I
had marked, but .the book to mark upon.
rllere a colloquy took place between the witness and the In-
terpreters, as to the meaning of this answer.]
King's Interpreter.—The witness says bis words were, that
`• he had not the book in which he used to mark."
Queen's Interpreter (Mr. Cohen).—" The book in which I
rs..ke my marks."
Lord GREY.—Does he mean to say that he had not the book
in which he put this down, or that he kept no book ?
Interpreter holding up his bands, and in a tone of amusing

a,tonishment—“ Gon bless me !—He's quite off. 1k says now,
I had no book of any sort to mark upon !"—((:reat laughing).
Mr. Arroatar-GriatitAL.—As there is some obscurity in an
zt.swer of the witness, that he came here in a sack, and went
Loinc in a trunk, I would wish him to'explain what he means.
Flom several of their Lordships.—No, ne--a common Ita-
-1:;n proverb.

The cvi• stion was not put.
Lord LAUDERDALE wished' that the witness should be
krd what he meant by the memorable words, " NIA nu ri-
-47(rd0." Their Lordships had been told that the expression bad
several meanings, and it was important ao know what.it was the
vitnessundentood by it.
Lord HOLLAND said that the Noble Lord was striving at
an impracticable object. Supposing the-nor sui ricards bad al
variety of meanins, it was impossible the House could know
how to apply these different meanings to the numberless in-
st:inces where that Expression was used:in the evidence of the
v. fitness.

Lord LAUDERDALE withdrew his question,
The witness Majocchi was now taken froth the bar, and the
titar.sel were ordered to withdraw.
After a pause of some minutes.
tie Marquis of. LANSDOWN rose.—Defore Connote! were
gulled in again, he wished to draw the attention of their Lord-
ships to a manor of considerable importance. A letter had been
r.entiuned in the course of an incidental discussion, which took
ice yesterday, as having been teceivcd from M. Marled, the
•uker in Milan, stating that, in consequence of some comfy:uni-
ts-Z.ln made to M. Maricti by a Colonel Brown, an agent there

The French Papers of Monday arrived this day.
All the letters from Brest agreein stating, that the
most perfect tranquillity prevails in that town. The
proceedings were going on there against several
young men charged with being active in the late dis-
turbances. Amongst those arrested, it is added, were
some persons who were strangers to the town, and
who could give no valid reason for being there.
An article from Trieste of the 19th ult. mentions
a report in circulation there, that the Austrian flag
would no longer be admitted into the ports of the
two Sicilies.

The intelligence from Spain contains an account
of the total demolition of the Ecclesiastical conspiracy'
of Burgos against the Constitutional Authority. It
has been torn up by the very roots. A Curate named
BARRIO was the leading instigator. An attempt was
made to work upon the superstition of the peasants
by displaying banners inscribed with religious hiero-
glyphics, similar to those which were borne before
the Crusaders ; but the Curate BARRIO was not as
successful as PETER the Hermit in making the sacred
name of Religion the cause of a desolating excitement.
He, and men like him, mistake the age in which they
live, and look backward while the world is going on.
The very peasants, on whose supposed aptitude for
becoming the dupes of priestly imposition the hopes
of the malcontents were built, assisted in deliver-
ing them up to justice. The Apostolic Junta, as it
absurdly called itself, of Burgo d'Osina, is in safe
custody. The papers which have been seized prove
that it carried on a correspondence with some priests
in Burgos, Valladolid, Corinna, and St. Jaques de
Compostella. The banners were furnished by the
Monastery of Balbaneda. A Dominican of Burgos,
and a Curate of Quintinar de los Pinares, have also
been arrested.

The Madrid accounts of the 22d ult. say, it ap-
pears certain that the Marquess de las AMARILLAS
IS to be succeeded by General RAMON as VALL, as
War Minister. When the nomination of RIEGO, as
Captain-General of Gallicia, was known in the pro-
vince, the Patriotic Society of Corunna, and a great
number of other persons, sent an Address to Go-
vernment requesting that Rzieo 'night continue in
command of the army of Andalusia, and ESPINOSA
sent to Galicia as Governor. It is confirmed that
the Constitution had been proclaimed in the most
enthusiastic manner at the end of May, at Vera Cruz,
and the other provinces in the vicinity. The Guer-
rero, ship of the line, and Diana, frigate, had left
Cadiz _to cruize in the Mediterranean ; and the brig
Aguila for Rio Janeiro on an important mission.
