in which this purpose, so expressed, bad been tarried into effect.
The evidence of Dr. Holland, who stood in so peculiar a situ-
Sion with respect to her Majesty—a Gentleman in independent
circumstances, and incapable of being influenced, might have
been tui-posed to be unexceptionable : ail circumstances com-
bined to voider him the most unexceptionable witness, and yet
he eras rot only not called, but it appeared that be had at no
period info-x the 4nvestigation been asked a single question by
those WI:0 !,rofessed such an .anxiety to discUter the whole truth
',ea:). Maurice Credi, who had lived with bet
Royal I l',..nness at the very time when this' criminal inter-
course wlis said to hate commenced, had not been called.—
The woman who made the beds at the very time when, if the
intercourse had existed there, must have had means of detect-
ing it in her hands, had not been called. 'She was in this
ccuntry, and must have it in her power, if the adultery bad
taken place, to establish the fact. Yet that important person was
withheld; and 11o*, he believed, remained iii Cotton-Garden.
When be considered that the defence had a party to protect,
end that there was to exist en the Other side no party bin the
mere desire to elucidate the truth, he must say, the House Was
hardly dealt with in not having befaie them evidence of this de-
scription, Which must inevitably lead to truth--(Hear, hear).
As to the Circumstances which were enumerated in support
of the great charge, as corroborants of• the evidence of a cri-
ininal intercourse, he. would say, that the peculiar 'situation of
her Royal Highness should be considered with much attention.

The French Papers of Thursday and Friday last
have arrived. -
The Manikin: contain. Royal. Ordinances for re-
organizing the househdld of the King, and the Army.
By the first the Marquis of Lauriston is appointed
Secretary of State for the Household ; and the whole
of the new organitation is said to have been found
necessary, in order to put the Civil Establishment of
the Royal Household in complete connexion with the
political state of the kingdom.
Another Ordinance declares, that the French army,
on the peace establishment, shall consist of 80 regi-
ments of three battalions each ; 60 of these are to be
cf infantry of the line, and 20 of light infantry.

Gravier and Bouton were eager on Tuesday morn-
ing to put in their appeal to the Court of Cassation
from the sentence of death passed upon them by the
Court of Assize of Paris, for firias off the petard
under the windows of the Duchess de Bern. On
Monday night, after quitting the Court, they were
clothed in the habit of the condemned. Bouton had
no appearance of mental alienation, nor was he dis-
turbed except by the horror of his own situation.
Brasier still preserved an imperturbable coolness.
The Council of Liberation of the Chamber of Peers
has declared that there were no grounds for indict-
ing Captain Francis Clement Villemejane, and Lieu-
tenant Charles Chanand, both of the 2d Regiment of
Infantry of the Royal Guard. They have conse-
quently been set at liberty, as well as three others,
'who stood in the same situation.

At any other time the news from Naples would
be considered of striking importance. The treaty
between General Pepe and the inhabitants of Pa-
lcrnio having been transmitted to the Neapolitan
Ministry for ratification, was laid before the Parlia-
ment then sitting, and rejected in foto by that As-
sembly. 71ius a perplexing state of things had
arisen. The people of Palermo had fulfilled their
part of the convention by surrendering the forts and
restoring the prisoners ; and all these advantages
were to be given to their enemies for nothing, by the
refusal of the latter to pay the stipulated price. We
refer our Readers. to our foreign extract for the al-
leged grounds of this breach of faith by the Neapo-
litans. We subjoin, likewise, an interesting letter,
which furnishes the particulars of some of the con-
flicts preceding the cessation of arms, together with
the several articles of the Treaty itself. Further o*
will be found a copy of the speech of the War Mi-
nister on Fresenting the instrument to the Legislative
Body ; and another of the Proclamation of the Vicar-
General, wherein he justifies the disavowal of Ge-
neral Pepe's official proceedings. General Coletta
was on the point of sailing for Sicily, to supersede
General Pepe.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED PALERMO, OCT. 6.

" A treaty was entered into by Prince Villafranca,
as President, with the approbation of the Provisional
Government, that the Neapolitan troops should enter
this city on the 25th ult. The Prince, at the same
time, informed General Pepe, the Commander-in-
Chief, that he could not answer for the conduct of
the lower classes of the people when the Neapolitans
should take possession. On the 25th, about two
P. M. the advanced guard of the Neapolitan army
had marched within a mile of the city, when the
people, who had possession of all the forts, fired the
first cannon at them. At three o'clock the troops
attacked the city through the public gardens at Porto
lteale. In this quarter the populace were very
stiong, and near that spot the fighting continued
without interruption for thirty-six hours. During
the night of the 25th the Neapolitan gun-boats at-
tempted to bombard the town, but were compelled
to retreat by red-hot shot fired from the Sicilian bat-
teries. On the night of the 26th the Neapolitan
troops were repulsed at Porto Reale, and retreated
into the country, about a mile from town, where, on
the 27th and 28th, several engagements took place,
with very considerable loss to both parties. On the
29th and 30th very little firing took place, it ap-
pearing to be the intention of General Pepe to starve
them into submission by cutting off all supplies from
the city. During four days bread and macaroni
were very scarce, and at times not to be procured.
On the Ist instant the Neapolitan General sent a Bag
of u uce to treat for peace; and, after an armistice of
five days, the terms have been agreed on, and ra-
tified on boat d the British cutter of war, Racer. The
conditions are as follow : .

ART. 1. The troops are to be quartered outside the city, in
stick situation as the Neapolitan General may think fit. All the
forts and batteries to be put in possession of the Neapolitans.

sole purpose of expressing the public voice, whethet the Sicilian
Parliament shall be joined to that of Naples.
