HOUSE OF LORDS.

At a quarter of an hour before ten o'clock, Prayers
were read by the Bishop Of WINCHESTER; and the
Roll having been called over,
The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that before
calling in Counsel, he wished to know whether it was
the pleasure of the House that he should, when the
Counsel were called in, repeat distinctly in their
hearing how the rule of practice which was under
discussion yesterday respecting the reading of letters,
had been settled by the opinions of the Judges, and state
farther how that rule was affected by the case of the
Duchess of Kingston, to which the Learned Counsel
for her Majesty had, at the close of yesterday's pro-
ceedings, alluded, and very properly, as deserving
of being looked into?
The House having signified their assent, Counsel
were called in.

The LORD CHANCELLOR baying then repeated
the opinions of the Judges, as given in our account
of yesterday's proceedings, proceeded to detail, at
some length, the facts and circumstances of the case
of the Duchess of KINGSTON (indicted for bigamy),
and directed the attention of their Lordships to that
part of the examination which seemed more particu-
larly to apply to the point at issue in the present case.
It was ta the following effect:
" Judith pßillgu examined.—Winsess for the prosecution.
" Alt. Wallace (of whom the Loan Csawczwsa observed
that a more excellent lawyer, or one more conversant with all the
rules of law and evidence, he did not remember nor bad ever
read or)-produced to the witness a letter, and asked—
.' is that your band *siting ?—The name to the letter is mine.
" Is that your letter ?—lt is my letter.
" The letter was then read."

The LORD CHANCELLOR here recited the let-
ter of Judith Phillips, which, in some points, had a
considerable resemblance to the epistolary effusions
of Mademoiselle Dimont ; it began " My heart has
ever been mw,t devotedly attached to your Grace,"
&c. The Attorney-General, for the prosecution of
the Duchess of Kingston, in order to explain away
this letter of Judith Phillips, read two others, one
from the husband of Judith Phillips, and another
from the Duke of Kingston in answer; and said, if
their Lordships thought it necessary, he could prove
the hand-writing of these letters; but no such at-
tempt to prove the hand-writing was afterwards
made, and there the matter, as to the reading of let-
ters in the case of the Duchess of Kingston, rested.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that it was
difficult to collect anything from what had happened
in the case of the Duchess of Kingston, which could
be stated to be a rule. It appeared that the letter
of Judith Phillips had been read, but it did not ap-
pear what was the consequence of reading it at the
stage of the examination in which it was read. The
case did not, in his .(the Lord Chancellor's) opinion,
either establish or destroy, or affect in any way the
opinion of the Judges as given yesterday.

Lord ERSKINE said, he completely concurred in
the opinion delivered yesterday by the Judges. If,
when he was practising at the Bar, a Judge had de-
livered an opposite opinion, he should have tendered
a Bill of Exceptions before their Lordships.

The LORD CHANCELLOR and Lord REDESDALR
delivered similar opinions.
Mr. BROUGHAM asked, whether the House of
Lords had, in the case of the Duchess of Kingston,
decided upon the stage of the proceedings ha which
the letter of Judith Phillips was to be read ?

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that Mr. Wal-
lace, with his usual judgment, put the letter in his
pocket.

said nothing about it. I do not recollect.
I suppose when you were sworn you kissed a book ?—Yes.
You were regularly sworn ?—I kissed the book as I did here.
To the truth of the deposition then before you?—Yea
Mr. Bacoonam wishing to interrupt the examination of this
witness, desired that she should withdraw.—[The witness re-
tired.)—He said, if such a disclosure had been made in a Court
of Law as had been done before their Lordships this morning,
it would invalidate the whole testimony of the witness. It ap-
peared that a witness under influence bad been sworn to a depo.
sitien out of Court, by a Magistrate, and in the presence of tha
Attorney for the prosecution; and that, too, at a time when it
was known that the witness was to be examined In this Court.
He conceived that justice had been violated by a proceeding so
outrageous.
Mr. Wuuams followed on the same side. He was aware of
the manifest danger that must arise from this course. Every
witness was to come into Court to speak the truth, and the
whole truth, on both sides. If a witness were previously pledged
to an easparte statement, bound by the solemnity of an oath, be
same here tied down and fettered by that previous disposition.
The conscience of the witness was not at liberty in that Court.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said, this sort of observation
could only be made after the re-examination. The House
could not now be in possession of all the circumstances.
The Cross-examination was then resumed.
Mr. WILIJAMS to Witness.—Then I understand that, except
that examination, you have not been examined since you came
here ?—Yes.
Mr. WILLIAM said. he proposed two of the witness's letters
should be read, and in regard to the third, there was nothing in
that which =weed to him as necessary to require a cross-exa-
,thination upon it; he therefore should not read it.
LORD CHANCELLOR to CounseL—You propose to read
these letters to the House under the notion that they are con-
nected with the deposition of the witness. Let them then first
be read in French, and the two Interpreters can afterwards agree
as to the translation of them.
Mr. BROUGHAM said, he proposed that the letters should first
be read in French, and then the same Interpreter should read
the translation, while the Interpreter on the other side should
hold the original in his hand, to ascertain the correctnets thereof.
The two letters were then read by the Interpreter for the
Queen, of which the following are copies :

TRANSLATION OF A LETTER FROM DIMON? TO
MARIETTE, DATED BTH FEBRUARY, 1818.
" Dear and good Marlette—Although you have not said four
words in your last letter, yet I love you too well not to pafdcn
you for it, and it is with real pleasure that I reply to you. I
hope, my dear sister, you are perfectly happy; but I ought not
to doubt it, so well as I know the extreme goodness of her
Royal Highness, and of all those Kith whom you have any
thing to do. Endeavour always to deserve such kindness, by
continuing the same way of life which has procured it for you,
that erplrkaee may not be useless to yen. Net? always before

'MU' eyes, the Void& which arises Veen lasimess and inc.ou-
dowser ; you have lately bad svinclent woofs of that.
a You will, no doubt. be very desirous of knowing. what is
my situation, in our little country ; I assure you my dear, I
have been received lu such a manner as you would have no idea
of.—l have been everywhere sought after, and received with
the greatest cordiality at. Lausanne, at Merger, and at Cassc-
nay. I passed a whole month at the last town, where every
possible amusement was procured for me.—You know hew
fond I was of sledge-riding; well, every day we made a party
&tit. At the lwginnirg of the rew y‘ar we had a delightful
masked ball; last week two more, the best that have been .ecr
in this town, and a number of other evening parties given b.
friend of mine, in short, every day brought some new invitat! -
Conceive to yourself how, in the midst of all these numbfr..
pleasures I was sad and silent, every one quizzed me L:
my indifference; I, who used to be so gay before my dq:r.
lure. I was not insensible of my dullness, bat, spite of all rly
endeavours, could not get the better o' it.
_

• Can you nut, my dear, divine the cause of afl my sadnes'•
Alas ! was it not the regret of having quitted her Royal Higt,
ness, and of knowing that she suspected my character, and talc('
me with ingratitude? Oh, GOD ! I would surrender half my
life, could she but read my heart ; she would then be convinced
of the infinite respect, the unlimited attachment, and the perfect
affection, I have always entertained for her august person.
" I should have wished, my dear Blariette, to have written
to the Count, to thank him for the kindne a Iv has shewn
but I was afraid to trouble him ; tell him, ore line, if he would
but have the goodness to write to me, would afford me a little
tranquillity, since it would make me 'tope fur pardon.
" I was afraid her Royal Highness would be dillrased at
the course I have taken in my journey. Judge, then, of my
happiness when I learnt that she was not at all angry at it ;
but, on the contrary, gave me leave to take it. In truth, this
pretence has been very useful to me; for you are sufficiently
acquainted with the world to suspect that I have been assailed
with questions, particularly by great fulks—for I am not vain
enough to think that I have been sought after only on account
of my beautiful eyes—and that a little curiosity has had no pat.
In the desire to see me. Ah ! why was not her Royal Ilighnesa
at my side ? Site would then have found if I were ungrateful.

How often, in a numerous circle, have I with enthusiasm
enumerated her great qualities, her rare talents, bee ntildness,
her patience, her charity ; in short, all the perfectioas which she
possesses La so eminent a degree. How often have I seen my
hearers affected, and heard them exclaim, that the world is un-
just, us cause so much unhappiness to one who deserves it to
little, and who is so worthy of being happy.

" You cannot think, Dlariette, what a noise my little Journal
has made ; it has been, if I may use the expression, snatched a•,
Every one has read it.

marry it to Lausanne ; all the English who were there wanted
to see it immediately. I have been delighted at it, for you know
I say in it a great deal of the best and most amiable Princess in
the world; I relate in detail all the traits of sensibility, and of
generosity, winch she has shewn ; the manner in which she
has been received, applauded, cherished, in all the places we
have visited.

" You know that where the Princess is my subject I inn net
barren ; consequently my journal is embellished with the effi-
don of my been, my greatest desire haviug always been that
the Princess should appear to be what the really ic, and tlet
full justice should be rendered to ber. I assure you, that althea ft
distant, it is not less my desire, and that I shall always endea-
vour with zeal, that suck may be the case, and as far as n 4
poor capacity will allow. You may judge I shall not make a
merit of this, since she will be ignorant of it, and even sespects
me of ingratitude; but it will be only to content my heart,
which would find a sweet satisfaction in this charming success.
" But I had almost forgotten to confide to you, a thing which
will surprise you as much as it has me. The 44th of lai t
month I was taking some refreshment at my aunt CidaS, when
was informed an unknown person desired to deliver me a let-
ter, and that he would trust it to no one else. I went down
stairs and desired him to come up into my room; judge of my
astonishment when I broke the seal, a proposal was made to mr
to set oil for London, under the pretence of being a governess.
I was promised highpokeion, and a brilliant fortune in a short
time. The letter was without signature, but to assure me of the
truth of it, I was informed I might draw on a, hanker for as
much money as I wished. Can you conceive anything so tin-
gular ? Some lines escaped from the pen of the writer discovered
to me the cheat, and I did not hedtate to reply in euch terms as
must have convinced him I was not quite a dupe. Notwith-
standing all my efforts, I could 1:1%1W 110 eckircissement from the
bearer; he acted with the greatest mystery.
4' You see, my dear, with what promptitude the enemies of
our generous benefactress always act. There must be spies con-
tinually about her ; for no sooner had I left Pesaro, than it was
known, with all its circumstances, in the Capitol of EurePe•-•••
They thought to find in me a person revengeful and ambitious;
but, thank GOD, I am exempt from both those failings, all 4
money acquired at the expense of repose and duty will never
tempt me, though I should be at the last estressity. The Ate
aiMurir abandons no one, much less those who act agreeably to
him. if geed reputation is better than a golden girdle.
" Since I Pave introuuced the subject of money, my deer
sister, I must give you some advice. Economise as much as
possible, retrench every superfluity ; did you but knew the pain
I feel in not havikt none 'Ol Ido not think I ever was guilty
of extravagance, but I have not deprived myself of many things
which were almost useless. You know that every one here, as
elsewhere, fancies the Princess of Wales throws her money out of
the window, and supposes me possessed of a large fortune ; from
a species of self4ove, and to prove still more her generosity, I
do not try to undeceive any one; consequently, though I have
great need of money, I don't dare yet to ask my guardian for
any. I know how to be moderate, and am at co expense. I
have often reflected, that if I bad always acted in the same way,
I should not be in the situation in which I am.

•• Every one should economize as much as possible; one cam
gain by no other means. Profit by the lesson I have just given
you; be assueed.it will be ea:litany to you, for I speak from ex-
perience. hi has not sent the packet ; I wrote to him st
Milan and at Paris. I expect his answer one of these days. If
it should be lost, it will be very disagreeable, as the cloth cog a
great deal. If I had known, it should not have been purchased,
as my mother has a good spencer, and might very well have
done without it. I regret the velvet very much, as I want it for
my hat; besides, we did nut get that .ither for nothing; rtsi
three louis are well worth lamenting, without reckoning die
other baubles. Money will not come by whistling i,sr it. A sous
here and a sous there soon make a Here, and twenty-four Byres
make a Napoleon. You see I am become an adept in arks unetic.
I will answer for it, however, that Mr.
good, if he has lost anything. I shall skew him no favour, and
have written to him in such a matir.er as sufficiently 'hews I
am not very well satisfied with his negligence.
But my dear Marlette, I perceive I have almost finished
my letter without speaking of our dear parents. Our good mo.
Cher is tolerably well, though her asthma, and complaint In her
bowels torment her sometitues, but nothing compared so wine
•be bas suffered this simmer; my father is very well, liewiet:a

is always charming. I give her every day lessons in writing
and reading. She sews very well, and repasie as well; she
has already worked several frills for me, and some gowns, with
whi:h lam very well satisfied. Her desire of travelling is the
same; pray try to get her a situation, I am convinced she wilt
give you no cause to regret it. She is much altered for the
better; she is gay, and always in good humour, mild, obliging,
in short, of a character to make herself beloved wherever she
goes ; for she has an excellent heart, and knows how to be con-
tented in all situations. Margaret is entirely amiable, of a pretty
figure, and so lively, that she makes one half dead with laugh..
t rg.—Louisa is very genteel. I assure you, dear Marlette, they
ari all changed very much for the better, and I am quite con-
.l nt,d with them.

I have for this month put in my favourite chamber at Co-
'ombier, where some repairs have been done, for example, a
good chimney, and a small cabinet, wherein I sleep. I make
little excursions often in our environs; and frequently receive
visits, which afford me amusement.

" I think I hear you say, Well, dear Louisa, what do you
mean to de? Won't you marry? What does
I will tell you, word for word. I every day feel more and more
repugnance to marriage, has done all in his power
to induce me to accept a heart, which, he says, he has preserved
for me these seven years ;—&•what heroical constancy, and little
worthy of the age in which we live! ! I shall not, however, be
dazzled by it ; and although he be rich, charming, and amiable,
I do not wish to retract the refusal I gave him four years ago.
" If this amuse you, I will tell you I have several other
lovers, not less desirable than he. I am very foolish, perhaps,
to refuse them ; for they are infinitely better than I am--per-
haps I may one day repent it. You know the proverb, OHe
who will not, &c." But I cannot do otherwise. Recent
events have created in me a sort of antipathy to men—l can
have no connexion, no communication with any of them—l
love and cherish sweet liberty alone, and wish to preserve it as
long as I can.

" Dear Mariette, I conjure you, imitate my example, and
never think of marrying. My mother and I forbid it, as long
as her Royal Highness shall wish to keep you :n ber service
You can have no greater happiness. It is impossible ! Beware
of forming any attachment—you are too young—remain free.
Be assured you will be a thousand tunes more happy.
" I do not recommend prudence to you, because I know you
too well to distrust you; but although it may be said of me
th.t. I would die rather than abandon it for an instant, and
deviate from the strict path of virtue, the most precious good
we possess, yet I have known some persons suspect my conduct.
But I have Con and my own conscience for witnesses. Are
they not sufficient for my peace? No one can deprive one of
that. No, I have nothing to reproach myself with on that
head, and you know, therefore, I can give you such advice as
) ou should follow, especially as it is also that of our mother.
Dear Sister, if you dare, place me at the feet of her Royal
Highness, beseeching her to accept my humble respects, do
not WI, I entreat you, when she speaks of me, to endeavour to
convince her my repentance is still the same, that I conjure her
to restore me to her favour. Tell me if her Royal Highness is
still so en raged against me, and if there is not any appearance
of a pardon ; but tell me always the truth. Try also to persuade
h:r Royal Highness that I ant, and always shall be, so entirely
devoted to her, that uo sacntice I could make for her would ap-
pear too great, and that she may even dispose of my life, which
shall for ever be consecrated to her service. Tell the Baron, also,
that I am very sensible of his remembrance, and beg him to ac-
cept the assurance of my perfect acknowledgement. Embrace
for me the charming Victorine; repeat also my thanks to the
Count, and assure him I shall never forget his kindness. Re-
member me to the Countess, Madame Livia, and Mr. William,
begging them to receive the assurance of my sincere friendship.
" If I were to tell you all those who send you salutations, I
Lould want two more pages, for every one is interested for you,
al 1 they never cease to wish for your happiness. Believe, how-
ever, the most sincere wishes are made by us.
" You will tell Mr. Hyronymus that John is quite well, and
that Mr.
Hi; hoard is not paid for; and tell Mr. Hyronymus, on the re_
e 11 t cf this letter, I beg he will immediately send an order

trust not delay, for I have no money.
" You will not do wrong if you wild me at the same time,
the two Napoleons, to make up the twenty-five, if you can. It
is I who scud you the gown ; instead of lace, you should trim it
with muslin. Make my compliments to Mr. Hyronymus, and
tell him the first time I write again, I will give hint more parti-
clqars respecting his son, because I hope to have more room.-
1 v i.h very much to know how ink is made with that powder
which he gave me; and what he has done with the two pictures
I sent him at the Villa d'Esta.

TRANSLATION OF A LETTER FROM MADEMOISELLE
DIMONT TO THE QUEEN, DATED 16TH NOV. 1817.
" It is on my knees that I write to my generous benefactress,
I•eseeching her to pardon my boldness, but I cannot resist my
(LeHogs. Besides, I am convinced that if her Royal Highness
knew the frightful stile into which I am plunged, she would
tot be offended at my temerity. My spirits cannot support my
nisfortune ; I am overwhelmed by it, and I am more than per-
EL:ailed I shall sink under it. I feel a dreadful weakness; a
mortal inquietude consumes me internally, and I do not feel one
moment of tranquillity. A crowd of reflections on Me pan
in•dness of her Foyal Highness, and on my apparent ingratitude
overwhelm me. May her Royal Highness deign to take pity on
me; may she deign to restore me her precious favour, which
I have unhappily lost by the mast deadly imprudence; say I re-
ceive that soft assurance before I die of grief; she alone cm
restore me to life.
I dare again to conjure, to supplicate, the clemency and com-
p.:sim of her Royal Highness, Mat the will grant Ise the carom
your of destroying Mose two fatal lepers; to know that they are
in the hands of her Royal ilighnesoi and that they oil constantly
bar testimony against my past conduct, kills nte. The aversion
which I have merited on the part of her Royal Highness,
instead of diminishing, would be increased by reading them.
" I permit myself to assure her Royal Highness, that it is
only the granting of these two favours which can preserve my
hie, and restore to me that repose which I have lost. My fault,
1/ is true, is eery great and irreparable, but love is blind—how
many faults has be not caused even the greatest men to commit.
I dare flatter myself this is a strong reason why her Royal High-
ness should condescend to grant me the two favours which 1
take the liberty of asking of her.
" I allow myself to recommend to the favour and protection
of her Royal Highness my sister Marie*, and also her who is
in Switzerland. Iler Royal Highness gave me to understand
th:.t, perhaps, she might be allowed to supply ',instate. The hope of
this alleviated my distress. It would be an act of charity, for
sisters have only moderate fortunes, and in our small poor coun-
ty) they ace not to be ac)ired. I am certain her Royal Highness
would have no cause to repent her great goodness and extreme

kindness towards a young girl who has always gained the esteem
and friendship of all so whom she has been personally known.
" I cannot suaciendy thank her Royal Highness and the
Baron for their kindness in sending Ferdinand to accompany me;
he has paid me all the attention, and taken all the care of me
Imaginable ; I know not bow to acknowledge so many benefits;
but I will endeavour by my future conduct to merit them, and
to regain the favourable opinion which ber Royal Highness en-
tertained for me during the days of my good fortune.
" It is with sentiments of the most entire submission, and the
most perfect devotion, that

I have the honour to be,
