my circumstances to the English Minister, arfd he being con-
vinced of my situation, appointed to me 1,000 dollars a month.
But I have lost already 4,000 dollars; the cargo I Cl= to Reggio
not having been sold at the full value which I had advanced in
this speculation before the Miniiter had applied to me and given
me the appointment I speak of.
Were you ever in England before this ?,—About eighteen
months ago I was in England, not before that time. This is
my itcondtime.
Have you received any money, or is it in expectancy T—l hive
received a month in advance at Milan.

flow is it that your Captain could not go with your vessel
williout you, and dispose of your cargo to advantage l—The Cap-
tain natiates the ship without me, but it is necessary that he
should receive the orders from me personally.
Did you leave your shlp, while she was performing her voyage,
to come to this conntry ?—I did leave it when she was going to
Reggio to discharge her cargo at Reggio. I afterwards learned
that my ship had sold the cargo at tweilty-tlic-pence a bushel
less than the value.
Do you say, that if you had not come to England. there would
be any difference in the price of the cargo ?—Yes ; if I lr:c1 not set-
out for England, I should have continued in my trade. I ad-
vanced money to buy-corn, and I should hare gained compensa-
tion for tha loss of 4000 dollars, which I made in lui6.
How did your coming to England make any difference as to
the pro& or loss of that voyage ?—I had ordered the Captain
rot to 84.11 the cargo at less than 24 charlir:es a bushel. The
Captain sold it at 21, upon learning that I had tuk;:i: my de-
parture. After my arrival here, I heard it reached 26 charlines,
and since that I learned that it reached 7.0.

Do you mean to say that your arrival here affected the price
of corn ?—(Crics If Order, Crder).
Mr. NV:Luasts strbmitted that this question naturally arose
out of the answer he had just received.
The LORD CH ANCELLOR • observed, that the L-_-arned
Counsel was at liberty to ask it.
Mr. Wintusts expressed a hope that interruptions of this kind
would nut be repeated. He had been in the habit of addressing
the Courts below, which were not accustomed to express their
opinions by acclamation. As their Lordships hid pluilgtAi them-
selves to adhere to the rule by which those events were regu-
lated, he trusted that this very important arrangement would
not he 11,...&ected.
The Marquis of DOWNSIIIRE observed, that cntainly it
would be the most advisable course to abstain from interrupting
Counsel by acclamations. If any of ;heir Lordships objected to
a question, it would be the better course to state the objection.
With the exception of interruptions of this kind, the deepest
silence should prevail—( Hear, hear).
Lord LIVERPOOL agreed in this proposition, which
seemed to be the general feeling of the House.
Mr. Wituaus did not press the question.
Qnestion.—Then I am to conclude that your Captain dis-
obeyed your order with respect to the cargo ?—This disobe-
dience would not have happened had I been present. It would
have been a disobedience if be had done so if I had been pre-
sent ; but he could not bare foreseen what I might have done
if I had been present, and he therefore acted from him elf.
When did he disobey you ?—When I set out for England.
When you made the bargain for the 1000 dollars a month,
did you foresee anything of this loss?-1 have always foreseen
it, for I have not wished to come here, both on account of my
health, and on account of my interest.
What distance is Reggio from Naples ?--By land above ZOO

When did you see Patuizo upon your arrival in London?—
Two days ago.
Did you not see hint yesterday ?—I had not seen him for IS
months till then.

X ask you did you net see bins yesterday ?--Last night we
supped together.
Did you breakfast with him to-day ?--I took coffee with him
this morning.
Have you had no talk with him as to the evidence be gave
here ?—No : he would not tell me, except I'd ask him.
Did you inquire about what had occurred during this exami-
nation ?—No.

What then did you mean by saying he would not tell you ?
I meant by saying "be would not tell me," that "he cannot
told ;" the subject is of such a nature chat it could not he told.
Did any one say you were not to speak unto Patulzo about
what he said here?—Nro, I told Patuizo so myself, of my own
accord.

Do you mean to say that you told Patulzo that you and he
were not to speak of what had occurred yesterday ?—Yes.
Did you say It was not fit to talk of it, to Patulao?—Yes,
upon this matter.

Had you no curiosity to learn what sari of man the Attorney.
General was, and Mr. Solicitor-General, who was to examine
you ?—That was nothing to me. All my attention was that I
was to t•.iake my appearance before this House.
Have you been in this room before ?—Yes, but there were no
Gentlemen here.

When ).ere you here ?—On Saturday.
Who same with you ?—A Gentleman, who brought me to
show me where the Coronation was to take place.
Was he an Englishman ?—Ycs ; I know his person, but not
his name. _ _

[Here the witness was desired to look round and ascertain
whether he could see the Gentleman. He did so, but could not
see him]. '
He continued.—l have seen him many times, but always
transitorily. I did not see him at Milan, nor until I arrived
in England on the 14th instant. I was examined. at Milan and
In England, but at the latter place it was a verbal examination.
The examination was before a Gentleman whom I do not know.
Certainly not the Gentleman who shewed me this place.
Here Mr. Witrums desired witness to turn about his eyes
and point out the person who bad examined him in England.
The witness pointed out a Gentleman who stood near the
King's Attorney. General.
Witness continued.—l came to this country accompanied by
the King's Messenger, who paid my expenses from Naples to
this country. I saw C'olonel Brown before I came to this coun-
try. was examined in his presence at Milan. My answers
were, I believe, put down. I did not swear to the truth of
them, but I put my name to the end of the paper.
'rhe Earl of LI VER POOL suggested, that if any Noble
Lord should wish to examine a witness, be should put the whole
of the questions he wished to ask, before any other Noble Lord
asked any question. This would save much inconvenience that
had been felt on the preceding day, . .

Earl GREY wish-ed to know what pay the witness received
from her Royal Highness during the time she was in the vessel?
—Seven hundred and fifty dollars per month.
What is the expense of navigating such a vessel ?—I can say
much on that subject. My crew consisted of _a persons, at ten
dollars per month each. Having so many hands, I required much
provision, which wits dear. The wear and tear of the vessel is
much; and when we have a Royal Person on board, we are
obliged to keep everything In better order than is usual;
and if you take into consideration that the ship cost me 10,000
dollars, the insurance of which is one per cent. you will see
that there is hardly anything left out of the 750 dollars.
The Marquis of LANSDOWN.—As the witness was disap-
pointed in his remuneration, did he apply for compensation to
the Princess or to any person of her suite?—No; I did not, be-
cause she dismissed me. The Princess commanded (seha al-
-ways commanded whit liergami commandi d) us to go to Vs-
nice, but I refused. When we left Rhodes we went to Candia.
After leaving Candia we were without water, and it was neces-
sary to land. The Princess woold not return to Candia, and
we were therefore obliged to go to Sicily, and from thence pro-
ceeded to Naples. When we landed at Naples llergami
ntised me 6000 dollars by way of reward, though the Co •sul
tit Venice told tr.e it was not ready for me because I wiuld
not convey the rancess to Venice.
Did you apply to any oth. r person for remuneration ?—Tea, I
did ; when I was in London last year, I presented a memorial to
the British Government through our Ambassador, stating that,
as I served a rich Government, having borne the English flag in
the voyage, I expected the compensation which I al not
receive.
When you were on board the vessel, did you orJer any person
