THE QUEEN.

A great number of persons assembled yesterday,
as usual, in St. James's-square, i❑ expectation of
seeing the QUEEN, but they were doomed to disap-
pointment. Mr. Alderman WOOD arrived in the early
part of the day, and announced to the constables, by
whom it was communicated to the people, that her
AJ ESTY would not, in all probability, be in town
before Saturday next.

The Proceedings in the House of Lords yesterday,'
commenced by Lord KENYON moving for Copies of
the Correspondence between Ministers and her MA-
JEsTY's Legal Advisers; and for an Account of all
Sums of Money advanced to her MAJESTY since
June last. To this Lott' KING proposed to add, a
motion for an account of all the expenses that Go-
vernment had been at during the whole of the pro-
ceedings against the QUEEN. To this, however, Lord
LlvEnroot. objected, on the ground of public incon-
venience ; and the motion was carried on a division
of 133 to 73. The LORD Citatiocu.oa then pro-
posed a question to the Judges, with regard to the
objection taken by the QUEEN'S Counsel the pre-
ceding day, to the re-examination of the witness,
Sacchi, as to such parts of a certain conversation
between him and M. MArtimt, which had not been
alluded to in the cioss•examination. The Judges,
with the exception of Mr. Justice BEST, determined
in favour of the objection, on the ground of the prac-
tice in the Courts of Law.
After the examination of Sacchi, the ATTORNEY-
GENERAL for the KING applied for time to bring for-
ward against her MAJESTY a fresh importation of
Italian witnesses. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had rea-
son to suppose that they be expected here in
the course of a few days, during which few days the
Learned Gentleman solicited the adjournment of the
I louse. This is an odd mode, where everything else
also is odd, of carrying on law—of patching up evi-
&nee piecemeal. If the House of Lords refuses
to grant 'this delay in the midst of the prosecution,
as is most likely to be the case, then proceedings are
closed on what may be called the part of the KING;'
and of the effect they have had on the public mind,
a fair criterion may be formed from the daily in-
creasing numbers and the respectability of the Ad-
dresses presented to her MAJESTY. The history of
the world presents no precedent of a nation flying so
unanimously, so zealously, to the feet of the Sove;
reign, tp tender the sentiments of love and veneration.

Mr. BROUGHAM complained yesterday to the
louse of Lords, of an incorrect report which had
appeared in a Morning Paper of the preceding day,
of that part of Sacchi's evidence which related to
the witness's conversation with M. Manirm. The
report directly charged Mr. BROUGHAM, his brother,
and M. MARIETTI, with having tampered with the
witness; and it was to relieve himself, his brother,
and the other Gentleman, from so severe an imputa-
tion, that Mr. BROUGHAM complained yf the circum-
stance to the House.-

At the Learned Gentleman's especial desire the wit-
ness Sacchi was re-examined upon this point, and his
explanation fully exculpated the three Gentlemen
from the charge. M. MA RIETTI, jun. was acquainted
with Sacchi, and knowing that he was to be brought
forward as a witness against the QUEEN, he hoped,
without committing himself or the witness, to ob-
tain through his means that advantage for the
QUEEN which the House of Lords had unfortu-
nately refused, namely, a list of the witnesses and
a specification of the charges against her MAJESTY.
Sacchi declared his ignorance of both these points,'
and to these was the communication between him and
M. NI mu Evil strictly limited. This explanation dis-
appointed some persons who had locked with lively
interest to Sacchis answer upon this point.
In the course of the- conversation on this subject,
Mr. BROUGHAM alluded to a letter received by M.
MAaIETTI front his father, the Banker of Milan, in
which he is infot meal, cn the authority of Cohntel
Brown, that the sympathy he had displayed for the
(bus bad rendered him obnoxicus to the British
Government, and that it was intended to send him
out of England under the provisions of the Alien Act,
This intimation threw M. MAntraat into the ut-
most alarm, and in order to appease the agent of the
English Government, he immediately writes the an-
"'sexed letter'of exhortation to his son, informing him
at the same time, that his answer (if sufficiently sub-
Missive) will be exhibited to the Colonel :

Milan, August 21, 1320.

‘` DEAL Sow—The object of this my letter is only to iaforrr.
you that it has been written to CWonel Brown, here, that you

behaved yourself 111 relatively to the things which interest the
Royal Court and the Princess of Wales; for which reason you
are watched to such a degree, that it has been in agitation that
a command, called the Alien Bill, should, be signified to you 'to
leave the country, and especially' for the express reason—that
you have sought to discover, from this Mr... Sacihjnif (Saccbi)i a,
Milanpse, what he had deposed against tlselbovestßisyal Pritkess.
I intimated to the Colonel the improbability of ..ybufameddling
in such things, as much on account of contrati'ittlinations, as
•of your prudent and honourable mode of tlilniting., I,alsoima-
giried`ihat that must arise from some 'jealousy of your friend-
. ship with Vassali ; and as I cannot doubt, in the least, thata you
should have departed a moment from your wise system, I ad-
viae you 'to conduct yourself in such a manner, with respect to
these Royal diflerences, that no one may have it in his power
even to inrgine anything reproachable on your part, whilst, you
have not lost sight of the Milanese proverb—' He who serves
at Court dies on straw.'

Endeavour, rather, that we may be paid what the above
Egyal Princessowes us for ber, commission of Turkish articles
—paid for by us and not reimbursed to us. I wait your an-
swer, on that subject, such as'may be exhibited to the above-
named4.6lOnel, ate. atc. " Your Affectionate Father."
Our Readers
.will.. remember the horror which
Ministers lately •exprtisecton• proposing the renewal
of the Alien Bill, ai the bare supposition of the pos-
sibility of Its being used as a means of injuring the
cause of the QUEEN ! It turns out, however, that
the 'suspicions expressed on this subject were but
too well founded. If the threats of Colonel Brown
could fill a man in Mr. MARIETTI'S situation in
life with so much alarm, we may easily conceive
how much more operative similar threats may have
been on persons in inferior situations. We must
always bear in mind, that that sort of sturdy inde-
pendence which is often to be met with in this country,
has no existence in despotic countries; and that a
very slight hint from a powerful quarter will gene-
rally be found sufficient to convey alarm to the ap-
prehensive mind of an Italian.
One. word more on the unprecedented demand of
the ATTORNEY-GENERAL to be allowed more time
to bring forward new witnesses.—lt is impossible to
see on what grounds it can be complied with. He
had his option to go on with the trial on the 17th of
August, with the evidence he had, or to pray for
such a delay as might enable him to bring forward
other witnesses ; but having made his election, he is
not at liberty, after exhausting his evidence, to pray
for additional time to procure more. There would
never be an end to trials if a prosecutor, whenever be
found be had failed to establish his case, were, on one
pretext or other; to be allowed time for procuring
fresh evidence. In this case, the ATTORNEY-GENE-
RAL may not have anticipated the disclosures made
by some of the witnesses on their cross-examination ;
and he may have given more importance to these
witnesses than the result has proved them entitled to,
and supposed any additional witnesses superfluous;
but if he has made such a miscalculation, the conse-
quences of it ought not surely to be visited on her
MAJESTY.—

‘Ve had written thus far when the first portion of
the subjoined report of this day's proceedings reached
us. It Will be seen that his _MAJEST Y'S ATTORNEY-
GENERAL has notified to the House of Peers, that it
would require a much longer time to bring forward
his new witnesses than he had anticipated yesterday,
and that therefore:this measure will not be insisted on.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
NINETEENTH DAYS PROCEEDINGS.

At ten o'clock Prayers were read, and the roll
having been called over, Counsel were called in.

WITHDRAWING or m APPLICATION von. DELAY.

The ATTOUNEY-GENERAL rose and said, that he
thought it tight and proper to state to their Lord-
ships that, within the last half hour, he had received
dispatches from Milan; from which it appeared that
a much longer time than he anticipated yesterday
must necessarily elapse before the witnesses he then
alluded to could be brought over. He felt it incum•
bent upon him to state this fact to their Lordships ;
and, under these circumstances, to withdraw the
application he had made for delay.

The LORD CHANCELLOR., before -the order
for considering that application was discharged,
thought it but right to observe, that, after the detail
which the Attorney-General had given in his opening
of the case, and in the state of information on the
subject in which the Learned Counsel was yesterday,
he would not, in his (the Lord-Chancellor's) opinion,
have done his duty to the House, had he not sub-
mitted the application to their Lordships which he
made yesterday—(llear, hear).
Mr. BROUGHAM presumed he might now under-
stand that the Attorney-General had closed his case:
that is to say, that they were now in that situation
that the case for the prosecution was to be consi-
dered as closed, unless circumstances might arise out
of the renewed cross-examination to induce the At-
tot ney-General to .all other witnesses. Assuming
this to be the state of the case, he would now call
back Theodore illajocchi, and ask him one or tw.,
questions.

Mesjocchi was sent for.
In the interval some conversation took place re-
specting some corrections of the Minutes of EviJence.
The corrections were immaterial, and the Gel k of
the House, Mr. COWPER, was complimented in very
handsome terms by their Lordships, as well as by
the Queen's Counsel, on the accuracy with which he
had kept the Minutes. •
