THE QUEEN.

The Quint's case was closed yesterday by her
MAJESTY'S Counsel, in consequence of the impossibi-
lities they had experienced in their attempts to bring
a German. Baron to the Bar of the House to give
evidence for their IllustriOus Client. The circum-
stances connected with this will not escape the ani-
tnadversions of the British Nation. Baron d'Ettot,
the person wanted, could not come over without the
permission of his Master, the Guam DIMS of
BADEN ; but, according to the correspondence, the
GEAND DUKE was determined to shew the utmost
K
impartiality," and therefore could not lay his com-
mands on the Baron to make his appearance. Observe
the falsehood of the statement respecting impartiality.
The Minister BIRSTETT had, according to the evi-
dence of BARBARA Neasa, compelled her to come
here to give evidence against the Quapi. (" He told
me, I might as well come quietly, for, if not, I should
be forced f'—Karns evidence.) Yet there was not
even an expression of the will of authority that the
Baron d'Eitoz should make his appearance for the
Queen, though Mr. LAMS, in his application to the
Court of Carlsruhe, bad stated, and justly, that the
gaining permission to the Baron to appear, was
" esseatitil to the character e the Aritis4 Govern-
Tent,"--that his own character for impartiality,
and that of the British Government for sincerity
and " gootifaith, were equally at stake." Either,
therefore, BARIARA KRESS has here perjuired her-
self, or M. DE BERITETT has told a falsehood.—
Now, though we do nut think that BARBARA Klass
would scruple to perjure herself where she had any
motive for it, we cannot see what possible motive she
could have for doing to on this occasion. We see,
however, what motive M. Butererr had for tell-
ing a falsehood; and we have little doubt that he
yielded to that motive. Those who know anything
of the general character of the vile and corrupt crew
who breathe the pestiferous air_ of the petty Courts
of Oa many, will have little difficulty in believing that
M. BERSTETT, for a small. matter, would go still
greater lengths to oblige the }Ciao of Trlallovia. In
point of conscience, M. BERSTZTT and BAIIIIARA
Kacss are possibly pretty much on a par. -
• But the conduct of the Baron himself deserves a
little more notice. By the evidence of Mr. LEMAN,
Mr. VIZARD'S Clerk, whom the Counsel. for the Bill
did not even attempt to cross-examine, it vas proved
that Baron d'Ewna would have appeared in favour
of the QUEEN if he had dared. In the emphatic
language of action the Baron placed the hand of the
witness upon his heart, requesting him to feel, by what
strong emotions he was agitated, in consequence of
his not daring to appear for the QUEEN of ENGLAND.
it is remarkable that this same Baron denies the
acuteness of his feelings on the occasion alluded to,
and even cloaks the denial by a second falsehood,
pretending that he had no personal conference with
Mr. LEKAN, but that be sent his refusal to appear in,
England by a third person ; whereas it is undeniably'
proved, by the evidence yesterday, that Mr. Lams.
met the Baron on the road from Baden to Carlsruhe
was taken by him into his carriage; that they both
returned to Baden, in order that the Baron might
refresh his memory by the perusal of his diary ;.:...
such was then his zeal in favour of the QUEEN !--In
point of fact, the Baron does not, and dares not come
to England. What, then, according to Mr. LAMS'S
own dilemma, becomes of " the character of the
British Government, for sincerity and good faith r,
