the Character of her Royd/ Fffghams, bat to what did their '
formation portend ? They had, to be sure, opportunities of see-
ing her Royal Nighties* utile public diner which were 'liven,
but they had admitted that they were not in attendance when
her Royal Highness dined iA her private apartment. The evi-
dence of Lord Llandaff and LordGlenbervie was still more feeble.
They had merely visited her two or thsautimes.. Dr. Reiland
had been also without ,the opportunities,. of peeing her Royal
Highness, except at dinner Raw,. and (ild form no estimate
Of her general conduct. Now, what appeared upon the other
aide? It was not so much to what had been produced by her
Royal Highness as to what had beep withheld. that he baked
as a proof of the strength of the case against her. Why had'net
Lady Elizabeth Forbes been called? She had been with her
Royal Highness 'during her whole stay at Naples; but Lady
Charlotte Lindsay, who was comparatively bet a day or two
is the service of her Royal Highness, wail preferred !--
Lady Charlotte Campbell bad attended her Royal Highneis at
Genoa, and followed her to Milan. Why had she not, been
called His Learned Friends on the other-side made it matter
of reproach that hethad not called those persons; but .hewould
ask their Lordships, how it became his duty to call those
persons? Before be and his Learned Friend (the Attorney-
General) had anything to do with the case the evidence
had been prepared, and if they had called the persona
alluded to, he well knew the clamour that would have been
raised. It was known to the House that a noise had been
made in consequence of an application to Mr. Hewn= and
lieutenant Flynn, relative to the absence of a sailor; and, if
further opportunity had been given, would not the Learned
Counsel against the Bill have taken hold of it? Was it not clear
that any application to her Royal liighness's servants, to volun-
teer to her prejudice, would have been useless ? that their
lips would have been sealed upon the subject ? But the Counsel
against the Bill declared that, at all hazards, such evidence
should have been • called by those who were in support of it.
Why, to prove the absurdity of such a course, it was only ne-
cessary to refer 'their Lordships to the contrast between the
examination and cross-examination of Lady Charlotte Lindsay ;
in the latter of which the truth was elicited. Mr. Brougham
had said, that this case had been conducted as Counsel were
In the habit of conducting caws at Nisi Prins. He denied.
it; and he contended that the principle laid dawn by all the
Learped, Counsel. on the opposite side was a false one. The
Learned COunsel then referred to the authority of the Chief
Justice, in the trial of Thistlewood, who observed, that it
vitas IncuMbent upon the prisoner to call evidence to prove that
certain conversations had not taken plice, and that his not
tailing them was an argument ip prejudice of his defence. Not-
withstanding the multitude of authorities upon this subject, the
Counsel on the opposite side had been two months dwelling upon
this novel doctrine. What had been done by all her Majesty's wit-
nesses? Nothing but giving tome little intelligence of a short, in-
significent portion of time. Mr. Hownani—what had be done for
her? lie declared that there had been nothing degrading In her
conduct ; but how were'their Lordships to estimate the evidence
of a man who said it was no degradation to a Princess to sit
with her servant, who was in the dress of a courier—a sidendid
dress, be said, to give• a colour food propriety to this delicate
intercow-set It would be for their Lordships to say what
reliance *as to be placed upon the sentiment and feeling
of that Gentleman as to what was decorous in society after bay-
ing so committed himself. But two other witnesses had been
called to prove the correctness of her Royal Highness's conduct
—Vassali and Olivier:- two soldiers in the army of Bonaparte.
What a delicate selection. Would it not have *been more dig..
nified in her Counsel not to have called a single witness—to de-
clare that they had so perfect a dependence upon the Character
of !hair Royal mistress, as to scorn to call evidence in support of.
it. Would it not have been better to do this than to descend so
low as to offer her reputation upon the authority of Vassali? He
felt entitled to infer, from the non-production of these witnesses,
an admission on the part Of kis Learned Friends, that this_
branch of their case had not been proved by the evidence produced.
The Learned Gentleman next begged to offer a few observa-
tions on the testimony of Majocchi.--With respect to those in-
stances in whith he had been met by distinct contradictions
they were of the most frivolous description. He had stated that
Bergami commenced dining with herßoyal Highness at Gloom
while other witnesses averred that this did not take place till
a subsequent period. That they did dine together was a
fact established beyond the possibility of doubt ; and Whether
this state of intimacy began at Genoa, or afterwards, was a
matter of no mtiment. It must be evident that Majocdti could
have no motive fur making any mistatensent as to the time.
141 'Peaking.

Early on Saturday morning the KING left Brigh-
ton for Hampton Court, where his MAJESTY dined.
In the evening the KING; proceeded to Windsor.
Yesterday morning, the Duke of CLARENCE left
his residence in the Kum's Palace, St. James's, for
Bushy Park..
Lieutenant WILLIAM FOWLER arrived last night
from France, with dispatches for Lord CASTLE' I
REAGH. Two additional witnesses (now too late), from
Italy, for the defence of the Qum', came with him.
We are assured that her MAJESTY, though very
much fatigued from the number of Addresses and
Introductions that she received on Wednesday, is not
seriously indisposed. Her MAJESTY received Prince
Ltorotn, in the presence of Lady Alma HAMILTON,
the Marquis of ANTALDE, and her Chamberlains.
She afterwards withdrew with his Royal Highness to
another room ; and we are happy to learn that her
MAJESTY preserves her health unimpaired by the
troubles she has experienced.
At an interview with which Mr. Sheriff WAIT*.
Nan was honoured by the QUEEN, at Brandenburgh
House, on Saturday, he expressed to her MAJESTY,.
that it was the 'anxious wish of the Loan MAYOR
elect, and the Sheriffs, that her MAJESTY world con-
descend to honour the City of London with.her pre-
sence at the approaching festival in the Guildhall, on
Lord Mayor's Day; and that the LORD MAYOR elect
and the Sheriffs would wait upon her MAJESTY In
state, with an invitation in due form, at any time her
MAJESTY might please to appoint ; or would- feel
themselves highly honoured to receive her MAJESTY'S
commands upon the subject. Her Maas-stir was.
graciously pleased to express herself most grateful
)or This murk of their attention ; but, as she was not
poeided with a proper establishment, she could not
attend on the occasion in the state suitable to her
rank, and was, therefore, prevented from acceding to
their wishes at present.
Sir DAVID and Lady BAIRD and suite arrived OR
S iturday se'nnight at Borris, the seat of THOsrAs
hAVANAGM, Esq.
Saturday se'nnight, Joseph Parsons fell over this
West• Cliff, near Dover, and was found dead on the
beach beneath. He had for the last forty years em-'
ployed himself in the dreadful trade of gathering
samphire, and so long had he enjoyed this privilege
undisturbed, that he considered the Cliff his freehold.
His wife used formerly to assist in letting him down
the Cliff by a rope, and on one occasion threatened
to cut the rope, and precipitate him to the bottom,
unless he would promise to abstain from beating her
in future, with which terms he was glad to comply.
On the present occasion, having driven a stake into
the ground, and attached a rope to it, he let himself
down, when, the stake breaking, he fell from a height
of more than 200 feet, and was killed on the spot,,
his neck being broken, and his head and body ether .
wise dreadfully bruised.
Saturday, at the Old Bailey Sessions, a true BR
was found by the London Grand Jury against Wm-

sedition and disaffection in the minds of the
