JOHN BENTLEY, in the Chair,
The following Resolutions weie utsanhnonsly agreed to, viz.
1. Resolved, That her Majesty's Conduct in refusing to com-
prof's:the Ler lrionouWand eonfrooting her ladle Mau-
sers in the face of the Country, is precisely that which conscious
Integrity would suggest to an enlightened and diznified Mind.
2. Resolved, That the innocence of the Queen, so confidently
and giosslj attached- by -the despicable Attempts' of infamous
and suborned Witnesses, is now established, beyond ail doubt;
in every loyal, home, and impartial Mind. • ..
-5. Resobred,.That it-is the Dity of every Man to a!OK
Virtue tagltgiing against tha Tyranny-of malevoltnt. Power.
4. Resolved, That the mode of proceeding by a Bill of Pains

with the spirit and forms of the Constitution, whi:l3l if Justice
only had been in contemplation, would•never have been adopted.
5. Resolved, That an •Address be presented to her Majesty,
espressing our approbation of her Majesty's magnanimous con-
duct, and offering our congratulations on the conviction of her
Majesty's. Isnot:mice, so universally excited by the falsehood

the faadness and dignity of her character and deportment.
6. Resolved, That-the Chairman and the Sub-"

deputed to wait on the Queen, to ascertain when it will be con-
irenient to her Majesty to receive the Address, and that they be
-esti requested to make arrangements for Its presentation by a

- TRIAL OF THE Q(IEEN.

HOUSE OF LORDS, OCTOBER 26.
DEFENCE-TWENTY-FIRST DAY.

(In confintsationfrom Lliejkat fidition gmerdnis..9rAn.)
• - Dr. Lusandrow, In continuation.
How melancholy, my Lords. is fete think, that that uncommon
kindness sell& endeared her Majesty to the hearts of all around
her, Whether subject by situation to the caprices of her will,
or having the happiness of enjoying her society—how
melancholy that such a dispositionothoull now be attempted
is be imputed to her as a crime !", If, my Lords. I might
be permitted to add my own humble testimony to that
which you have on your minutes, with respect to the dispo-
sition of her Majesty, I would present to your Lordships the
facts.of that time, when, in the absence of my two Learned
Friends, her Majesty's 'Attorney- and Solcitor-General, the
painful task devolved upon me, of from dry to day harassing
and distressing-her Majesty with nauseous enquiries on the sub-•
ject of this prosecution. I would describe to your Lordships how,
on all occasions, she manifested the same affable condescension,
the same anxious regard'for the feelings and comfort of others,
Which every one who has been' examined before your Lordships
boo/leen forced to confess, diseinguisheethe character of the Queen.
The Learned Counsel next directed their Lordships attention
to the evidence of Dr. Holland, who says, that he never saw
the Queen walk arm in arm with Bergarni, nor any impro-
priety of conduct between them. Ofiviera says, that his man-
ners and conduct were always that of a respectful servant ;
and, in describing the manners of her 'loyal Highness, he
says, her conduct-and demeanour was affable, but dignified.'
The last of those witnesses is Vassali, who, from the time
of his entering the service of her Royal Highness, to his quit-
ting her at St. Orn'er's, never witnessed the slightest impro-
priety in her conduct. Now, my Lords, I have by this
evidence refuted the falsehood of the assertion as to the con-
duct of her Royal Highness, which, during the whole time
to which these charges refer, was proper and virtuous. The next
charge of his Learned Friend, was, that the Queen had parted.
with her English suite. These circumstances taken singly were
of no moment, but they had been formed by the opposite Coun-
sel into a whole, that they might establish a charge ; but I will
show you that every charge is false. Here' said the Attorney-
General, is a fact that weds no comment, it speaks volumes:
the Queen having formed a degrading intercourse, to congeal
her shame discarded every English person of respectability,
in order to indulge, unrestrained and unobserved, her adul-
terous passion.'—a
t us see how the ease stands. Colonel St.
Leger says, he was compelled to leave her on account of
his health: Lady Charlotte Lindsay says, she quitted her
Royal Highness in consequence of a previous arrangement.—
This fact is sufficient to rebut the whole assertion of the
Ai

that her Royal Highness had voluntarily
parted with the whole of her suite. Application was nude to
Lady Charlotte to join her Royal Highness in 181 7, when the
Queen returned from her long voyage, and when, according
to-the Attorney-General, she was, by day and night, indulging
in a passion which never existed. At this very time, the
Queen sends for Lady Charlotte Lindsay to be with her.—
This fact does, indeed, .speak volumes' in favour of the
conscious propriety of the Queen's conduct—it requires no
comment.-4 must here, my Lords, allude to the conauct of the
Learned Counsel opposite; they did not seek to invalidate the
testimony of this witness, but to pry into her private affairs. It
is worthy of the prosecutors in this ease, it is tensonant with
their whole course of proceeding, it is of a piece with-their whole
conduct to-violate the confidence between the husband and the
wife, and to bring the correspondence of the latter in order to
blast her character.- Front the bottom of my soot I !Sky and
commiserate my Learned Friends, who are compelled to obey
such iintructioes ; but I &el indignation and detestation for
those who could thus work an an indigent husband to injure
his wife and to ruin the character of his Queen. Never,
in the annals of the Old Bailey; was conduct like this before,
' witnessed. But, even in that confidential intercourse, that
sacrilegiously violated, Lady Charlotte Lindsay acknowledges
that she never saw anything improper in the conduct of her
Majesty, but that reports had made some- impression on her
mind. Mr. Craven remained longer with the Queen than be
intended. Sir William Gel! left her on account Of the gout, but
afterwards returned to his injured Mistress, and cdiciated as
I joint Chamberlain with Bergami. Sicard left her Royal High-
ness to attend to her business in England. Dr. Holland left her
on account of domestic affairs. Another point in these amnia-.
lons charges was, that when the Queen was charged with having
secured to herself die quiet enjoyment of her passion, when she
had excluded all means of. detection, that at this very time she
takes iutn her service Lieutenant Ilownam, who remained
. by her side three whole years. • Having disposed of two
heads of charges, I will advert" to another, which will not
occupy the titre of your Lordships two minutes. My Learned
Friend opposite, has also said that the Queen was, so forget-
ful of all the decencies of life, and of her highlranh, that she
avoided the society of every persOn of rank
,And character;
I and yet there it not one syllable of evidence to prove this
i assertion. I need hot, my Lords, enumerate at the persons who
visited her. Dr. Holland says, that at
sOeuoa she was visited;
by all the English, and there, and at every other place by alb
the resident Nobility. And yet, at this very moment wheii
her Majesty opened her hospitable door to all, Do Mont seise&
lon that very period to 41x odium pa her Mistress. There
not a Court in lithope or. Africa, visited by her Majesty,. wheat

she was not received with that respect which was due to hei
exalted rank,, and her .conduct was, as Lieutenant Hownam
nays ' all majesty and grace,' or, as a Right Hon. Gentleman;
the colleague of the prosecutors of this 13111, but whoesto his
honour, and to the honour of human nature, disclaims all par-
ticipation in it, has said, she was the 4 gr4CC and ornament of
soc.ety.' I have said her Majesty was received at every Cant;
I humbly beg your Lordships pardon—there was one exception,
that was the Court of Vienna, where Lord Stewart, the brother
Of my Lord Castlereagh, one of the present prosecutors, resided
as Ambassador.. 'I his Ambassador was the foster-father of some
'of the witnesses, and chewed them that countenance which he re
fused to his Queen. The Learned Doctor then alluded to the
charge of the rapid promotion of Bergatni, which, he eon;
tended, was not only extremely natural, but proper. He a':
laded to the family of Bergami, whose fortunes had been COPS.
pletely ruined in the French Revolution ; to his conduct in the
Army; and to the strong recommendation of hint to the Queen
by the Marquis Guisiglieri.:• He was only promoted to those
dices which heeatne vacant on sonic of her Majesty's suite quite
'ting her service; and he Was not promoted to the office of
Chamberlain, until there was no probability of getting a young
English Nobleman to fill the office ; fel-, to be in favour with.
the Queen, waste be in disgrace at home ; and to rimless her,
patronage, was to *felt all hopes of it here. With respect to
Bergami sleeping near her Majesty, circumstances rendered
this extremely necessary. From the day she reached Napltit
she was b.:set with spies, and assailed, he'would not say 1 y
whom, but her personal safety was endangered ; it was then
that she required sime protection ; and who could be -sleeted
more properly than that individual whose fidelity and courage
had been proved? Their Lordships had been told that Rergand
was omnipotent in his contrpul over her Majesty; but not one
atom of evidence wat produced in support of the assertion. If
the Queen had been under the influence of the guilty passion
that had been represented, Bergami would indeed have corn-.
manded her as a slave at his feet : he would have had no
mercy, fur favourites seldom have much mercy, or much com-
passion : their interest predominates, and obscures every gene-
rous feeling. He would have owned no duty but that of corn-
mand ; be would not have suffered the Queen to quit the luxu-
rious clime of Italy, to go on a perilous adventure to Jeritsalent..
Their Lordships must judge of hurnaii individuals by the laws of
human nature ; they must look at the probabilities of the case ;
and, taken as a whole (and so it must be), never was anything so
improbable. I would ask (said Di. L), whelk is the individual
whose life is so spotless, whose character is so pure, that he
would have the courage to go back for six years, and say, ex-
amine every action and thought of my life, and there is net
one that can be tortured to my disadvantage?: If there is one
individual who dares to.say so, I deem him less honest, less
candid, than the ordinary class of mankind. Armed with
assertions so little substantiated, the Attorney-General, at length
;red the first grand scene of the-intercomrse commencing at
aples. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to shew how
every assertion as to that intercourse had net only been contra-
dicted by the most unimpeachable testimony, but how it had failed
of proof by the Learned Counsel opposite. The whole scene had
been disproved beyond the possibility cf doubt, as completely fa
the journey to Senegag'ia, or the affair at Trieste. The Learned
Doctor then observed upon the absurdity of supposing that •
her Majesty, if she were indeed so completely devoted to the
gratification of her,passions with 13:frgami, would place William
Austin in-such a situation as that be must have opportunities of
detecting her and her paramour. She hid the disposal of her
own house ; and could it be for a moment suspected that, when
the was about to celebrate her hymeneal rites, she would place a
boy, thirteen years of age, who had been, up to that period, in the
habit of sleeping in het room, in the apartment next to that in
which she was to gratify her propensities. • So much for that
charge. The charge of precipitation with which her Majesty
was said to run to the arms of Bergami, was destroyed by Sir
Wm. 041, who stated, that upon the occasions on which her
Royal Highness had bete accused of hurrying to her supposed
paramour, she had retired at one o'elock in the morning, and
not half-past eleven at night. Here ended the direct testimony
of De* Mont : but there was an after-testimony by the witness,
which established the impossibility that there was a single part
of the former part of her examination upbo which the slightest -
reliance could be placed. Here the Learned Doctor called the
attention of tack Lordships to the account given by De Mont of
the state of the bedi. It would be observed, that the Solicitor-
General had ne mercy on his witnesses; that he whipped and
spurred them, until they came to their full career. At first, De
Mont, in her examination, said that the large bed in her oyal
Highness's room was without sheets, and appeared to have been
occupied by more thari one person ; and three days afterwards
came in the addition 9f the stains on the sheets ! Now, if it was
true, that the. Queen and Bergami had occupied the large bed, she
must have done so under the•most extraordinary circumstances.
Could such have been the force of her passion, that, though at
the age of 46, she would sleep for four months outside the blan..
keta? It was proved, that Bergami had, for a week of that time,
'been confined to his used, in consequence of the kick of a horse,
reed yet the large bed had, during that period, he appearance of
being slept in. Why, this was a double adultery. Here triumphant
was the power of truth. The Solicitor-General knew that the
best -witneSs to be called upon to prove this part of the
case was De Mont. He knew 'that the maker of the beds,
A person now in „this country; could not depose to the
'circumstance's to the truth of which De Mont had sworn.
He was determined to rest on the prima facie .evidence, and to
reject that which could be of DO service to . the prosecution.—
Dr. Lummoxes then adverted to the evidence of Majoechi,
where he stated that the Queen had passed through his room
to the apartment of Bergand. It would be recollected that there '
Is another pastige from' her Royal Highness's
~room to that of
Bergami, besides that through Majoec hi's ; and was it probable,
that when there was not the most distant probability of her
meeting any person in the.other passage, she could have chosen
to expose herself to the Observation of one who was on the
watch fur her? And this happened twice. If there had been
no other passage to the room of Bergami than that which it
is -said she had chosen, then it might bare been urged on
the other side that she boldly defied the consequences ; but to
say that she could chine that which was beset with dangers
was beyond all credibility. It had been stated in evidence
that her Majesty went in an indecent dream to the Masquerade.
He spoke of this; because the Attorney-General had 'declared
.that the indignation of the people compelled her to a speedy
retreat. And what had been proved ? Why, that she Spb
peared in an.ogly red dress, and was surrounded by masks. He
was then justified In saying, that during the Queen's residence
at Naples, there was not the shadow of a charge against her—
, that she quitted Naples unspotted. He felt confident* that
their Lordships would not couple with the future charges, to
which he should draw their attention, those refuted accusations..
He had already passed through the great foundation of the plot.--!
the evidence of imputed guilt. His Learned Friend.(the Atter.
ney- General) hid calculated, that if he could shew the symptoms
of an attachment between Bergami and the Queen at Naples,
everything favourable to the case must follow. But he (Doctor
Lushington) implored their Lordships; for the sake of truth, to
go with him thrstugh the remainder of the.evidence, and to
come to'a decision after an impartial consideration of all the
circumstances."

Here Lord LIVERPOOL suggested • that the Leaded
Doctor should retire to take rest. Doctor Luskington accord-
ingly withdrew.
. Dr. Lusnisosos having returned into the House, resumed,
by directing the attention of their Lordships. mcre parti-
cularly to that part of the case which, if report might be
credited, was regarded as the last stay, of the prosecution
to those presumptions. of what may have passed under
the tent, on board the polacca, which were insisted upon
with an earnestness that could, of course, arise front no-.
thing but an amiable anxiety for the edification of the
generation, and the improvement of public :norals! He
Would meet the charge fearlessly. When her Majesty lied
Went on board the polacca, Bergami slept in a cabin adjoin-
ing the dining-room, but afterwards hii bed was transferred to
the dining-room. the inference M' the, opposite party was,
that this change was made in order to facilitate the ad al-
terous intercourse between her Royal Highness and liergas,i.
,But how was the fact? It appeared from the evittexce- of Lieu.
