The cYoss-eEan5inatlon of MAJoooI
closed on the 9th day, and the " Times"
Bays: 8
We believe we may congratulate
The nation, on the exposure of the con-
Fpiracy against the Queen, by the mere
cross-examination OF the first witness
produced against her majesty. Every
thing that Majocci had previously sworn
with respect 10 the solitude of her ma
yesty's bed room, now appears to be ut
terly false, This wretched witness was
housed and fed by the British ambassa-
dor, lord Stewart, man of an extraction
as low as that of Bergam;-of fortunes
almost as rapid p
On the 9th day, the London Evening
Mail Of August 28th, says" Up to this
time the only two credible Witnesses ex-
amined, were the captains of the Clo-
rinde and. Leviathan; and their evidence
acquitted the Queen of any " improper
Familiarity with Bergami." But how
fortunate it was that the House of Lords
allowed of the daily publication of their
proceedings! In this circumstance orr
ginated the happy discovery of Majocci's
ClorceSter* connection, which at once
damned his evidence. The acknow-
ledgment of the immense brides Tccciv-
cd by GarguiIo and Paturzo, the captain
and mate of the vessel in which her
majesty sailed, was drawn from their
own mouths. Seven hundred and fifty
dollars month were all that the captain
received for the freight Of his vessel from
the Queen of England, which, as he Just
~ argued, after the wear and tear of his
ship, after he had paid and fed his crew,
left little enough for himself; but by
this new estimation in which he is en-
gagged, he at once gains, even by his own
confession, (and the public may rely on
it, they don't know all YET one thousand
dollars month net! clear of expenses
without the wear and tear Of his ship
without pay and feed Of his crew! This
fellow therefore is enriched for life and
the same may be said of his mate
Never was swearing paid for at such a
rate in either Italy or England before.
And here we would stop for moment,

slider at how much more costly a rate
they are obliged TO pursue their crimina,
enterprises than those who are addicted
TO the enjoyment of innocence and legal
Objects"
This alhdes to fact publicly stated and
apparently agreed to as being true, that Ma
icaci, who swore that he did not understand
one word of English, was living at Gloucester
as servant last year, with Mr.. Adam Hyatt;
and that, while in that employ, he had always
spoken in the highest terms Of the Queen
but who had said, that he had been offered a
considerable sum OF money, and place for
kfe, if he would appear against her. This may
account for the agitation Of the Queen when
she heard his name he may have owed much
to her, and she had not presence of mind
enough to bear with his base ingratit,lde-
having believed that he could rot appear
against her,
Russian ManiJesto.-In the House Of
Lords, on the 10th August, Lord lIol-
land, after a series of remarks on the
state of agitation with respect to the trial
Of the Queen, gave notice, that many
days should not elapse before he would
call upon the Earl of Liverpool, for his
1najesty's government distinctly to dis
claim the principles avowed in the Rus
sian Manifesto, and all participation in
those views, which, if acted upon, would
have the effect of again involving ALL
EUROPE in the calamities of war, and
which threatened with destruction the
tranquility and happiness ofevery coun-
try. 1t would afford him great satisfac-
ton to receive thus early disavowal of
those views and principles; but, other
wise, when lie should request the infor-
nation in the course of few days, he
trusted that the noble Lord would not
consider himself as taken by surprise.
Fyance.-We have had an indistinct
account of the detection of conspiracy
at Paris, which is said to have had for its
purpose the expulsion of the Bourbons
in favor of some member of the Bona
parte family. 1t appears to have been
intended to effect this by revolt of the
troops; but when every thing was pre-
pared, the whole plan of the conspira-
tors was discovered, and many persons
were arrested.
The state of the press in France pre-
cludes the hope of obtaining an exact
account of this conspiracy-but it seems
that the tranquility of Paris was not
disturbed by it. The court had held
secret sitting, which was supposed to re-
late to the conspiracy-a court of peers
is ordered to assemble Immediately to
