of the conspirators, be hardly knew where to look for
one.—(Applause.) He would fearlessly repeat, that if
the Noble Lord was nor one of the conspirators, he
hardly knew where to look for one.—(Repeated ap-
plaque.) To look fur them, said he, we must—we will

are all obedience.—(Applause.) The charges against
her Majesty were spread over three years—front Isl 4
to 1417. Bat what was said of 14 years before ? Not
a word is said of them. If the enemies of the Quests
are reminded of that long period, they exclaim, do net
tended us of that for God's rake; spare us there. N
they moat not be spared.—(Applause.) They spread
their infamous charges over three years, in the dark
recess of a country of which the people of F'.nglated
knew little, but of the last three years of her Majesty's
life they were entirely silent.—(Applause.) They got
up a commission conducted by Sir John Leech, by

lion fur? The Ministers said, that unhappy nimoors
were afloat reflecting on her 3lajeaty, and that it was
their duty to institute the commission to inquire into
the truth of those rumours. The doctrine was good
until a little more was heard : hut lie thought that he
would not have much difficulty in shriving that the com-
mission was instituted—not 'CO collect evidence, but to
create evidence. That was pretty clear, from the exami-
nation of the witnesses. When wilted, " did von ever
menti )))) the story yon told to day to any person before?"
—" Nevt•r, hut to the commission at Milan," was the
uniform reply. M;ajocci, better known as Non noi Ms'
cordo, was traced—to what place? Why, to Carlton

traced to Carlton Mouse to receive his instruetious.
That was in evidence; and when he was asked where he
next urtit, he said be went to Milan.—" Did he receive
any money?"—" Yes, his expenees."—" Who was with
hint ?"—•• A person whom he left outside at Carlota
Haute, and ailjourited with bits, to a tavern." lie ups
asked, " Ditl he shew his companion any money he got
at Carlton House r—" Yes."—" Did he shew one hun-
dred Napoleons?"—" Yes."—" Did he receive one bun.
dreil and fifty Napoleons?"—" lie could not tell."-1
" Did he receive two hundred ?"—" He did not know."
Ile was asked, " did he understand English?" " No, not
a word."—" Could he write?" •• No."—The course of
the examination went on, and hr was asked when a
certain transaction happened? His reply was, that "
could not say, as lie had not his memorandum-book
about him, in which he took a note of it''—(Cries of
• shame, shame.')—That was taut all, however. Though
this Majoechi swore that he did not understand a word
of English, lie (Mr. \L.) had now in his po ion is•
letter which lie received front a friend in Ireland, in
which he says, that scoundrel Majorelti can write Eng.
lish and read it as well as you can. Such was the lam
guagt• of the letter, and the miter was routing over le

Demont—this morning a gentleman of respectable cha-
racter came to the house of his friend Sir Gerard Noel,
where he (Mr. M.) was; lie told them, what he avowed
his willingness to prove, that Demon' was • strumpet'
connected with brothels—she invited him to one of I
them, and presented her card as the Countess Colnmbier,
dame d'honnesir to the Princess sal Wales; she desired
I not to go after her to the door of her lmiging in
Oxford-street, lest she sl.oold be detected. This woman j
was pressed at her laigiugs for an
amounting to 7/ ;is. fol.; she was distressed, and eouW
hot pay it; she, however, collected it SUM of 4/. which
she tendered to the landlord, who, unconscious of ha,
infamous habits, accepted the money, and isdulgtoillelo
for the balance. Mt. Powell shortly after wafted spiel
her, and when he departed she rung the bell, and in se
insolent 'canner produced three ten pound note., ant
said, You see, Sir, Ido not want money—take sad
pay yourself." Another witness, Sacchi, was an wads'
courier: this fellow swore to swot's of indelicacy SO
gross and so revolting as to destroy all belief. It lately
came out that this under courier, wire received froth the
Queen about fifty pounds a year, was plarrd to 'loan'
and lodge at the house of a Mr. Daltrey, with a .ervane
to attend on him, at a rent of five guineas a week. He
could go through the rest of them, hut it was linnet-to.
ssry, as the Irishman said, •6 the tl—l a barrel the
better herring"—(:l langh.)—Those witnesses, it would
appear, were brought to England to tell a certain story,
and to tell neither more nor less. Demont, whose mind
was as poisoned as her body, boasted that she hail a
friend who would supply all her wants—anti this friend
she said was Lord Stewart, the brother of lard Castle.

sietired her not to interfere in the Plot against the
Queen, for, said he, you hate already told me that the
Queen was one of the most exalted, the best, the moot
generous of women; why would you now turn round
against her?—Why, said this unprincipled chantheimaid.
I want to get money, and I might as well employ myself
in that way as in any other. The Honourable Dentleman
next observed npon the proceedings of Ministers in
sending down a message from the King—in presenting
Di:Green hag, and in afterwards supporting the motion
of Mr. Wilberforce. They presented another Ureen Bag
(hr said) in the Ilona* of Lords, on which a Secret
Committee sat, and. Oh foal u hat a downfall to the

said, that the whole was a dark and fool conspiracy,
and that, as he verily believed, his Majesty's Ministers
were at the bottom of it. Rehire he concluded, he
would say a word as to the witness Barbara Kranz—
Who was she?—She was an unprincipled prostitute,
who had undergone the punishment of whipping at
Carlsrliue, for having destroyed or maimed a bastard
child. The waiter at 'Trieste, too, was of a character
little to be thought of —the prefessiee of this fellow was
going about telling infamous stories. The Honourable

the press for the part it bad taken on this occasion, and
