harefore it appeared by the statement of the other sided
hat Marlette was in such a situation .et enabled her tel
peak to the truth of this, and if their Lordship did noti
derive such itiformat:ott from the printed minetes, they;
had it gratultotisly from his ',warred F-it ml. Mr.;
Brougham. Ile asked therefore, why, after 'his sml
I pledge, Mariette was lint called had soy %anal
factory reason been offered for oithholtling her ? She
had Lieen spoken of by the Counsel OH the opposite side
in the highest trim., and the story she had to tell nes
of the now important description. What fear could
his Learned Friends have, what danger could they ap-
pti bruit in placing her at the bar to give her testimony?

it was possible for even the must ordinary capacity to
entertain a doubt of the truth of the story. Rat Mil.
riette was not the only person competent to speak to this
tact, the Countess of Oltli was an equally competent
ui:ness to prove precisely the same fact. It could he

ness Was never out of her room the whole slight. Ilia
Learned Friends however, had not Trimurti to place
her at the bar; and vet they dill not hesitate
to call it; their Lordships to reject the tea-
iinimiy of Demont to this particular. They had
slime snore to enntinn the statement of 'Smoot, by
their lnct in not producing a witness who could
contradict it, than all the ditusy excuses they had
stet up could possibly do to shake it. If their Lordships!
were to decide on the case, according to the evidence
before them, there never was, he appreheolled, a ease
more distinctly proved. The evidence, pith respect to
t 'mania was plete on one side, whilst none had been
offered on the other. There was another tact which be
nottid rail their Lordships attention to, which occurred
at Turin. Their Lordships would remember the evi-
denee given by Borillo, on Whose character there was
no impeaches...to, and who hail a three years character
fur fidelity and good conduct frosts his master. Ile
stated that being one morning charged to carry a
message, he passed through. the room of Ilerganti, the
bed in which dial not bear the appearance of hating ;
been slept in ; and that after he saw liergaini come out
of the bed-room of the Princess, with his night gown
on, and dressed only in his drawers and atockings. In
this case too the Countess of Obli might have been
called, and indeed there was scarcely any point of the
whole case which she might not have been called to
speak to. She entered the service its order to assist
in than intercourse which was going on ; and such was
her position invariably that she might have thrown
great light on every part of the case; and vet,
throughout, she had been withheld. Ile would pass
from this part of the case to the facts stated to hare
occurred at l'arlsrulte, and confining himself to a few
ohs rvetions on that p ••.it, which hail already been
so ably and so fully ads cried to by his Learned Friend
the Attorney-licneral The same itbservatioits is otsld
apply to this part of the case as to alto,t every other,
%is. that it was barren of any to idioee ni contradiction
from the opposite side. It was some weeks since
Barbara Kress hail appeared at the liar of that
Muse, and non% ithstanding his Learnt (1 Friends had
their agents in that tart of lieratany f.osit which that
witness came, and possessed every opportunity to effect
their purpose, no attempt hail been made to impugn
her character. She swore positively anal distinctly to
the fact, of hating seen her Royal highness on the lied
stith Bergansi. It had been insinuated, in refutation of
her statement, that it was not the Princess he saw
on that °cession ; but lie asked how was it pte•—le she
could he mistaken as to the person she Cleo saw, when
that high personage was sitting before her in that
House, at the moment she was giving her et idence, and
stating positively, that she knew the person of her
Royal Highness: What was the answer to this suggested
on Ilse other side? it by, that it was the Countess of
0141 i, instead of her Majesty, whom toe witness saw
upon t: at weasion ! If it
was so surmised, they might
have Paved the fact, by calling the Countess of
.1s this bad out been t: stir, it was clear, liresse was
nut mistaken. Vassali, it gas true, hall been called,
and had displayed a most marvellous kind of memory
ca theanhjeet. He could recollect, although at the dis-
tance of four years, how her Majesty had employed every
slay during her stay at Carlsrhae, where she dined every
ho day, and w she tilled up every interval of time. tint
was it possible to put the evidence of Vassali in opposi-
tion to the evidence of Keen ? After all, It Ito was lie?
pensioner of her Majesty's, a friend to Berg:mai, and
one who was actively entpioyed in collecting witnesses,
servicing large moms of money for that purpose, and
attogether is c pletely identified with the defence as
to feel every interest in supporting it ! Ile asked them if
t; is was the kind of witness to be put in opposition to
hresa. As a specimen of the marvellous good memory
ef dais gentleman, he would call their Lordship's at-
t Annan to the circumstance in evidence of Bergami a hay-
ing retired from the table when her Majesty was dining,
conaequence of illness. It was admitted, that her
Majesty returned early to the inn on that occasion,
..hout seven o'elock. Vaaaali was able posiOvely to
swear, that her Royal llighnesa upon her return went
tt•to the saloon, and remained there during the whole
of t'le evening after. Was it possible to believe that ,
Peels was the fact ? Rut while he Was at that part of
t'..e case which refit: red to l'arlsrulse, hoe must not omit
t. remind their Lordships of another fart which hors
confirmation of the strom, est description to the state-
toent of Kresse. Hr alluded to the circumstance of
ILe cloak being fount! in tire bed. This cloak was
given to a serpent of her Royal Highunta,and was arter-
y arils worn by her. No explanation bad been attempt-
ed to lir given of that fart ; and it stood therefore in
strong confirmation of the fact which it was
etentled to disbelieve. It was said that his
I. arced Friends suffered in consequence of the absence
of Baron D'Entlr. For his part, he did not believe they
I td suffered, and he had as much right to say as his
LeartisolFriends had to say, that his appearance could
assist their case. To judge from the evidence,
V- thought a most clear and strong case was
r- sole out by that relating to Carlaruhe alone.--
rhen it turned out that Rastelli had been Relit away,;
ti en the storm burst out, and their Lordship were
calm' noon in angry language to dismiss the whole
jroceeding. Mr. Powell was then examined on this
and his examination pros rd, that there was no I
motive in the transaction. Their Lordships
Mr. Powell to produce a private eorrespon-
, explain the absence of Rastelli. He did not !
complain of their Lordships order. 'I he correspondence
produced—it proved the correctness of Slr. 1
Pow-
statement, that he had not been actuated by any
ler motive, and that he had acted with perfect
ith throughout. Indeed the best vindication
Polrell was to be collected ft om the circumstance
had no idea he should be called upon to pro-
correspondence, and his statement was in
conformity with that correspondence.—,
