_
Did you recommend that Rastelli should quit this
tonntry ?-1 did.
Where did you make this recommendation ":--At the
Foreign-Office.
tin what grounds ?—lf your Lordships will give me
permission I will explain:--Rastelli had been era.
ployed to Whig-over some witnesses to Dover, who
well. maltreated by the populace. There were various
'reports circulated in jngland, of the danger in which
the witnesses fur the Rill were pieced. Those repo.rts
were propagated in Italy, and it was also said that
they had received great personal injury. 1 had heard
that the fatuities of these persons were extremely
anxious to hear something about them. I understood
that Itastelli was acquainted with most of the families,
and I thought it would afford considerable relief if
some person who had been an eye witness to the treat.
latent they received, and who was acquainted with the
families, should be sept over.

lie was then asked whom he saw at the foreign office ?
—Father Mr. Planta or Lord Clanwillism, I an. not cer-
tain which, to whom, I think, I stated that Rastelli was
to be sent its courier to Italy.
Did you state that Rastelli had been a witness?—\o,
I did not.
Did you mention who he was ?—?.Vo, for it was well
known.
Do yon think he will return ?—1 have every reason
to believe he will, fur I hare given him positive direc-
tions. Ile then stated something about Rastelli's
having a fever and being blooded.
A Pxxn, whose name we Jo not know.—Did you
ever receive any instructions from his Majesty's go-
vernment, not to send Rastelli out of the country ?—.l
do nut recollect any instructions, I was pre-ent is

And dill you not consider that an act of disobedience:
—I did not consider it so, because I had the fullest con-

&Fence that he would return by the 3.1 of October.
I nisi' to know, whether, in the event of Rastrili's
absconding from jollier, you bad any means of op-
tinciug bins here.:—liliviilimally I ismol nut; but
bare no doubt, that if he had sitrim an intention, the

Time Witness then withdrew', and the lions. adymrned
to to-mnorrow, when as we understood it, Counsel are to
be lieaid.as to whether the removal of this witness can
materially affect her Majesty's cause.

The blunder 'f Raggazoni, the mason, in haring re-
presented himself as seeing the Statues in the Orem of
• the rills d'Este, from a spot where two stone walls effect-
- tokily witstrncted his view, brings to recollection a story
which the ingenious Dean Swift Mates in his Ironical
INreetions to Servants. A careless damsel, he says, had
our day the misfortune to break a mirror with her
broom, and wishing her mistress to iwlseve that the tuis-
'chief was occasioned by some nulneky boy, broke a
pine of glass in the window of the room, and placed a
stone under the mirror. in the expectation that it would
be concluded, both the glasses had been broken by the
throwing of the stone from without. Unfortunately,
• however, it happened, her mistress's young son was a
stedent of Mathematics, and proved, from the relative 1
positions of the window and the mirror, that it was
physically impossible toe article that broke the mirror
could have passed through the window The inventor
of a fabrication, as Deatt Swift ohs r , ought to pos-
sess some science as welt M ingenuity It is equally
mertilying to Raggasoni and '.., Sacchi, that they can-
not head the laws of nature to a compliance with their
@amide's.

STOCK-EXCHANGE, One o'Clock.

We understand that at the close of the market yes-
terday afternoon, a dashing jobber made bis•esit front
the Stock Exchange, and his deficiency is considerable.
The market opened this morning at 671! for moary,
and 671 for the account. Money is very
and the market looks better than for some days paat

A Brasil Mall arrived morning, but doses
bring later accounts than those previously received.

The disgust excited by the proceedings discitsea
yesterday in the House of Lords, will be ineresusedlry
the discoveries made to-day. Mr. Powitt.t. has na-
dergone an examination at considerable length,
bat little to the satisfaction of the public, and, we
believe, we may add, of himself. He has distinguish-
ed himself as mach as any of the tutored witnesses.
The Majocci-lik.: shuffling and evasion, which the
House was condemned to hear this morning, sill be
sufficient of itself to complete the disapprobation and
hatred of every honest mind. Two other of the Ita-
lian witnesses, it will he found, hare beta allowed to
leave this country, besides RASTELLI.

If any one had told us, that it was possible some-
' thing could transpire in the coarse of the proceedings
against her MaJerre, calculated to enemas/ the uni-
versal odium which has been deservedly visited *pose
those proceedings, we should have said it was impos-
sible ; bat the experience of yesterday has twisted
us that we were mistaken ; that we have yet to lire
and learn ; and that there is somethisig atteedant
upon oppressive and tnjustice, which eaposes ie.
enormity, and protects its intended victim.

seuestion is yet to be seen.
As far as we could divest ourselves of our general
ivlignation against the government, we did sv vester-
elv, on seeing the Earl of Liven root. so borne down

character, in order to induce a belief of his assertion,
a- a Minister, that he was ignorant of the cummis.sion

s...ee of his mind, on finding that the men with whow

On Monday we gave the exclusive and correct in-
t•;ligenee that a Cabinet Council had been held, where
sane arramements were made for putting a step to the

raiment, b:ti published the following particulars this

"On Sunday last the Earl of LivuarooL, Lord
CYiTLEItt %OH, and Othry Ministers, went to the KING,
at his Cottage in Windsor Park, and they were accom-

their minds, so as to make it impossible for them to
alpport it through the House. The Noblemen had
an audience of lhis Mvagsrv, to state their opinion,
that it ought to be withdrawn.---We know not with
whit complacency this declaration was received ; but
it is Understood that 4.11 3lowley evening Ministers
were disposed to give up the Bill, if tile evidence of

them as totally discre.lit d. The contradictions of
lieutenant FLYNN, oe Tues Jay, isuw.ver, induced
thnn to persevere."

The late Mails bring intefligence relative to the state
of Sicily, and to the measures Austria is now pursuing
against Naples. lienerel Pepe, it appears, had entered er-
falnan the 16th nit. and Col. Costa, A limena. At Palermo,
the Jana, to trampoillise the people. laud announced that
the Prince NlRetrainee sues furnished with full and very
extensive powers to treat with lieneral Pepe. It is said
also, that the Junta hall offered an armistice to the Com-
mandant of Trapani. assuring him that they were about
to Pntrt into negociation with the I lovernment of Naples.
A new Prnelamation had heels adelresswil by 0 a I
Pepe to the Sicilian, in which lie promises a complete
ohlivion of all that has passed, on the single condition
that ths revolted towns shall re-establish the authorities,
sac% i% they previously existed.
.On the other hand, au article from Naples gives the
following Ina copy of the note transmitted by the Em-
peror eriturtria to the Doke of Gallo, when that noble-
Ina* pored the Austrian territory as Ambassador of
ilia ow eapolitan 6overnment :--" After a revolution
which bas oserturned the foundation of the social edi-
fice, and menace() at once the safety of thrones. the
validity of eatablishett constitution, and the tranquil-
lity of oationr, his Maicatv, the Emperor, would act in-
contittetilly with the prenerpies which have invariably
guided hint, if he recognised the mission of the Duke of
Gallo."
In the same spirit, it is affirmed. his Imperial Majesty
of•Aostria has remitted to the
.Sovereigns of the Duly
Alliance,. a Isar note. in which he laments the innova-
ting spirit of the times, sod declarer, that to !wirer the
Revolutionists in Naples, is incompatible With the dig-
nity of his Crown, and with dd• tranquillity and welfare
