TIm^tm Lord?, isa monstrous taic which Jef .»■ >t«elf ; *t is not credible—Ucar- :: * it* own refutation along with it.— AYh,.; ! mi Lords, ate you to suppose th«t her Mb jest) voluntarily parsed thro* a vo* ..i ".here the must have been seeoj when she might have gone another way whore she would not have been seen. She knew . my Lord-, that Majocchislept in that ro->m—she knew the disposition of hi* bed—she knew that there was a tire kept in (lie room;—knowing ali this, she voluntarily parses through it, stop¬ ping in her way to look straight in the face of the witness. A robber naturally care to the bed where a lady slept, and looked in her eyes to see if she was a- sleep. If she was not, he could proceed no faitW. It was therefore very pru¬ dent in the robber to take this precau¬ tion : but for a person going to commit adultery in the next room to loot in the fact? of him whose mistress she was, and that person the Princessof Wales—when the very looking condemned, exposed, and convicted her—this was the most in* credible, the most silly invention that could be made. But it was providen¬ tially and most happily ordained, for the detection of guilt and the defence of in¬ nocence, that such inventions were often carelessly put together : would not the single fact of having been seen in that room, under such circumstances, have exposed her : VVouio not the fact of be¬ ing detected in looking in the face of Majocchi, have of itself condemned her ? Jt is a most monstrous and incredible tale. What has happened here, has hap¬ pened in other cases where innocence has been attacked by the perjured and re¬ morseless witness, who involves himself in contradictions which it is impossible for him to explain, ffnd relates f&Ses which it is impossible for any one to be¬ lieve. My Lords, I wish to call yonr re¬ collection to what this witness has said on another point. Lie told you thatBcr- garni began to dine at (he table of fhe Princess at Genoa, but, my Lords, you have it from the other evidence* thatBer- gami never did dine at (he table of Her Majesty, at Genoa. When this witness, Majocchi, speaks of the night scene, he told you, first, that he did not know r,t the courier, Kaslrlli ; but, in Q subse¬ quent part of bis evidence, he explains* the reason of his recollecting a circum¬ stance, by the fhet of the arrival of the courier, Rastelli. Finding himself in. tolved in a gross couhadictioii, he at¬ tempts to shift his ground ; he recollects the circumstance, ho say-, because thi* v s attacked (lie house. iViy ijorus, jou recollect theacccunt this witness gave of las leaving the service of her Majesty— an account which contains as much <jfoss and deliberate falsehood OS ever polluted the walls of a Court of Justice ; and al¬ low me here, my Lords, to observe that where you see one materia! part cfa per¬ son's evidence grossly and palpably false, it is uot necessery to go more into detail—the whole of his evidence must be discredited—nothing that falls from the lips of a perjured man ought to be enter¬ tained. My Lords, in giving you an ac¬ count of his leaving ihe service of the Princess, he told you that be was not discharged, but that he left (he service because hs did not like the bad people by whom her royal highness was sur¬ rounded. Ha did this to raise his own credit, and to debase the Queen and these by whom she was surrounded. My Lords this siory is false—A question was put to him—'- Did you not ask to go back r" ** lie did not recollect.*1 He re ^ my Lords you see how he protects himself, lor it he had answered No, he would have con- tioted Mmsflfut once Up was ask'-n\ u Did you not apply to Scbiaviui ;" lie Says, **yesl did make application to Schiavini, but it was in joke—1 made it in joke." Well, this is possible ; but j| be did not make it its joke he has perju¬ red himself; if he did make thisapplica- lion in joke, to what follows he must have answered no.—" Did you nut make other .applications of a similar kind to Hie rimy m us ;—" Nan mi ricordo." My Lords, this is a gross and wilful perjury. He first states that he left the Queen to avoid the bad people by whom she was Surrounded ; and then he is obliged to admit that he made application to be ad¬ mitted back, but he did so in joke. Tuns you see, he makes use of one invent?**-) in order to support another. My Lords, you recollect the way in which he told you that he never wished to go back to his service ; he said " I would rather cat grass than go back to that house." Is this true or false ? Do you believe, my lords, that this man would eat grass be¬ fore he would go back to the house of the Queen 2 He admits that he made an application to be restored to his p <:ce. but he made it in joke. My Lords, you must not forget that he made nut one ap¬ plication—he made several applications to several persons. Are you to .suppose that he was joking all the time ? My lords here, I say, is developed tho mystery of the answer—" Nun mi licordo." My Lord-, I say that rank falshood appears on th* face of this part of the evidence, take it in one way or the other, I care not on which branch of the alternative it may rest. My Lord<=, I shall next call your attention to the well-paid steal¬ ers, the Master and Mate of the polacre. Any person at ail acquainted with the Courts of Justice are aware, that wit¬ nesses of a certain kind are extremely flippant—extremely anxious to «ivc ex*, plunations which they consider import- ant. The mate of the polar re h a wit¬ ness of thi< kind.— He was asked were the guns on the deck, and what was his answer? "To be sure they were; they were not in our pockets." My Lord*, this sing't am .er shews 5*°u the d< m a« noroffln&witness. Important, I pre¬ sume, this witness must have been con* side-red, for he was the best paid witness — lie has been paid, my Lords, at the rate of £'1.000 a year— (_'2,000 a year | to the mate of a vessel trading in the Me¬ diterranean, and fourth part owner!— My Lords, I will venture to say, that there is not one ship owner in Messina makes half this sum by all the ships he may possess ■ the thing is unknown. In that country a man of ^£-100 a year is considered a rich man. £l^0i) a year 'S i: property possessed by none save the highest of the noblesse. The captain of the polacre has been paid a still higher sum than the mate ; he bus been paid £l. 100 a year ; he has been fed, lodg¬ ed, maintained ; every expenee has been paid* My Lords, this wi»s not by way of compensation for the lo*s of his pro- tits, for his ship WR9 not here ; the ship remained in the Mediterranean. My Lords, this man, his mate, and 20 men, with his ship, had been hired for & sum of about one-fourth part less than he now receives for coming to swear against her Maiesty. But this is not all. The wit- ness has told you that when he attenda on a Royal Person, he expects a great dea#more than the sum named ; he looks for muclf more than the certain sum; his expectations are not limited to what he now gets for coming here to swear against the Queen, lie had been em¬ ployed by the Royal Person against whom he now appears, and he told your Lord¬ ships that the ascertained compensation bore no proportion to the voluntary re¬ ward which he expected from her Majes¬ ty— how much less then, has ho a right to limit the bounty of h^r illustrious hus¬ band, or of the servants of his Majesty, who bad brought him here* My Lords, independent of the hope of reward, ano¬ ther motive mufct have operated power¬ fully on the mind of this witness; his testimony, my Lords 's Bottomed on revenge ; he has sworn that he has had a quarrel with Bcrgami, the Queen's ser¬ vant, whose basilicas it was to pay mo¬ ney and itappcarsth.it this witness com¬ plained in a memorial to his Ambassa¬ dor, that IJergami refused to piy htm a sum of £1,301) which he claimed ; and my Loids, it was in (his way, it was in (his, but if yoa flo&ot belles si, tfcftfty* must believe that uhat (ha Captaan ol the polacre swore was not true. Richer ihcn he told tl:is;-ory to color his Mo¬ tives, or he gave i- as a gratuitous false¬ hood—he wished to earn his money in the best possible *ay ; he wished to im- prove the case, a* attempt in which in the opinion of sone credulous persons, be has possibly speeded.—He intend¬ ed to do much, iu order to make his ser¬ vices the foundation of his claim to (hat unascertained remuneration which he declares he expels from th- bounty of iualty. lie expects, my Lords, to im- rove his claim for there is £t93UO consequence of this complaint, that the witness became acquainted will* Certain persons in this country. Mis minister, Count Ludolf, in answer to bis memori¬ al, told him that he knew nothing ol the iii.i Iter, but desired him to go lo London and pw'ier his complaint for the £1,300- U wobyiiicn, on account ul 1U1& c.aun o»i the English government, that he fir*{ came to be known to persons in this country. His existence—his very name was nnt known, until he made this complaint against the Queen and her Chamberlain for not paying him £l>o00 ; and became to London, amongst other reasons, for tlie purpose of following up that claim — 1 warrant you, my Lords, he is nor like¬ ly to sec his way less clearly in pursuing this claim, in consequence of theevideuee which he has given. There arc other matters in the evidence of the master ami mate of the polacre deserving of youi attention. 1 think, my Lords that the Queen,on board a vessel,sitting with hei arms cntertw incti round her menial ser¬ vant, cud sometimes kissing him, was a circumstance not so insignificant as not to be likely to attract the particular at¬ tention of the master and the mate : and yet the accounts given by these two men. of this transaction, materially differ. The master says, the Queen was sitting on a gun, and Bergatni was supporting her. The Captain says, tlu Queen wu> titling near the mast en Bergami'S knee. The dilferencc here is most important.— if a witness thinks lit to say, I will pledgr my authority for accuracy and for trattt on the details 1 give ;—if he goes into details which he need not have jjone in¬ to, he must do so at his peril. Well, he does so. The Captain .swears that the Queen was silting on Bergenia's knee n- ar the mast, and that Beryami and the Que -n were kissing ; the mate says the Q(:een was sitting on a gun, but not a word about kissing. And here, my Lords let mesay, that there can be no doubt but that both witnesses were swearing to ro P which he came over to this country to seek amount other things. My Lords, 1 shall trouble Yen with one statement more of those men : it will tend to show the advantage of being well drilled. No wonder,indued,that the witnesses should have been well drilled, for they have bsen well paid ; the skill of the party should, if possible, be in proportion to the price he receives. But, my Lords, there are limits to this art, if there were not, Cod pity the innocent against the attacks of the perjured. My Lords, these two witnesses were examined im¬ mediately after one another ; one hud no access to the recorded evidence of the other ; and there (hey are on terms the most intimate, living together, supping and breakfasting together, living in all the be bits of blood and kindred, in a man¬ ner il.at would ilo honour to near rela¬ tions, and which it would be well if some relations, of much higher station, would have cultivated.--llie Captain was ask¬ ed, whether he had communicated with the Mate u.s to the evidence thev had to give ? and h- answers," 1 am not a man who would speak °Ut of Court of any thing! might d«|Wer there; it would not be decent \um- fitting to sny to any body the evidence that I miv.ht give." lie was then asked—4k Pid you and the matt* ever communicate with each other ? His answers, fcv Oh ! KeVef, never." Did you agree not to speffk on the subject ?" Yes, as it would have been improper for one to have mention' d to the other the evi¬ dence he had to give/1 My Lords, this brings m<; to say one word as I pass.

Believe it, i say, in God's name. But if you do not believe it, you must believe Something else, viz. that th* witnesses iu *his depot are pi tfur«*d a^arn and again. The courfe of his obfervations had now brought him to fame perfonages, even of greater importance than the captain and mate, however pompously introduced by the Solic'tor-Geacral—he meant Demont and Sacchi. Ht truded that he fhonld be excused for coupling them, united as thsy feemed to be by the clofeft tics; and lcfembling each ather as they did in fome of the moll material particulars of their history. Both fed lived ander the roof of the Queen—\>ott had enjoyed her bounty — both hal beennelu&antly difmiwed, and both had folicitel to be taken back into pbtxnA f^vor- ^tefet^t^{uy}jj, united them bad iytblcqucntly continued— they bad lived in the greateft intimacy, not less fa their native mountains of Switzer¬ land, than in England ; they had remain¬ ed here nearly for the fame period of time, above twelve mouths, and those mouths had be-in occupied by them in a manner beffi calculated to tit them for the fervice of their employer?^ in obtaining a knowledge (,f the ch I0c writers of our ifland, through an accurate Etudy of our language. Inci¬ dentally this gave them a great advantage— only incidentally-—for, roodelUy, they did not brag of their proficiency, but availed a faot supposed to have been sc<rn by them I themfelves of the affiftance of an interpre- aware of their prefei vatioa, and had her pntrons known their contents, their Loid- Qxip* would never have heard of Iter; (lie would never have been produced as a wic- nefs, but would have been fhiped off as many others had been like fo much frefh meat or live lumber for thtir native coun¬ try. Tut her conllant mode was to deal in double entendrcs ; Sacchi did the fame ; fo that it was impofiihle to know what they really meant: to them indeed might be applied what formerly had brcn faid of the Gieeks—" Tribuo illis littcrac, do multarum artium disciplinnm, noil adimo sennonis leporem. ingeoiorum, acumen, discendi opiafu ; dentque etiam, fl'jca iibi alia fumunt, non repngno : tediiuoniorum religtonem, et fidem nnnqu^.m ifta natio coluit ; totiusque hujusce rei quxlit vis, qua auctoritas, quod pondus ignorant."

The mate did not see it ; he did not swear it; they did not dure to put the question to him. See, then, rny Lords, the miserable conse¬ quences of not having witnesses com- plefei) drilled. The palpable difference in the sk>ry of each shews that the story cannot be true ; and yet the Master re¬ presented himself as a man of such pri¬ mitive mantM-r*, such antediluvian vir¬ tue—possessed of virtue such as reigned in Paradise before (he fall, that when he saw a lady so near to a man—not to (ouch the mind—he immediately desires his mate to go awfl} ; for his mate was under him ; lie had the care of his mo¬ rals ; he was, besides, his distant rela¬ tion ; by the tics of blood, as well as of conscience, he was responsible for the purity of his mate,and therefore be v\olIJ not allow this youth to remain for one moment nejr that part of the ship where the Queen &t\d Bcrgaiuj were. Observe, my Lords, he never said that the Queen desired him to go—there was no order to that effect frrnt Bcrgami. No ; the guilty persons did not desire him to ie- tire ; they did not care? who saw them ; but the provident and virtuous master Would not allow his mate to remain for one momcul in thai part of tho vissel which had th.'1 misfortune of having such a pair—:i pair who came tn*ar «■•eh oth- ci, though they did not touch.

He netd hardly remind their Lord- ihips, or indeed nny man whose capacity was above that of the brute ^nimuls he a- bufed by ufing, what utter nonfenfe thofe talked who applauded the evidence of this wiiuesH for its candour. De Mont affer- ted that fhe was infincere—fhe allowed that flie had told numerous falfclioodsj and what praife was due to that ingenuousness with which fhe told the Iloufe that flie dealt wholefale w untruths, and that no dependence could be placed on a fydable that fell from her l?ps ? Yet, in the opi¬ nion of fome perfous, fo captivating, fo fc- daftive, a blandiflinient was this, that it blinded her judges to her faufts, and open¬ ed their cars to all the tales of fo accom¬ plished and ingenious a liar. In anybody but a witnefs, candour might be approved; but here, " Pure, dear, innocent Swifs Shephcrdcfs how i.i^enions thou art!" was the cry, and immediately all Ihe ut¬ tered was to be belf'cved. Certainly the (banged of all reafons fo" giving credit to a witnefs, was to cite her candour in admitting that in no rtfpect flie deferved it. Look at her letters, and at the expla¬ nations the had offered of them, lie would not go through the details, but eve¬ ry man mull be convinced that those ex¬ planations were impofiible, they did not in any refpect tally with what appeared in bjack and white—her glofs did not fuit her text, they were wholly inconfillent, and the clear contents of the four corners of the document, fhowed that what /he was Rating was untrue. The letters wanted nothing to make them quite intel¬ ligible, and her key did not fi' her cypher ; the matter only became doubtful as flie enveloped h m falfehondby the inventions of the moment, f-.y her extempore endea¬ vours to get rid of the indifputable mean¬ ing of her own hand writing- A plain honed witntfs would know how to deal with thefc things, and would not entangle h'imfelf in lite miferable webs of this dirty- working creature. The fense of these letters are plain and obvious, and he pray¬ ed to God that their LordhVps might fo believe it, and might not (land a folitary exception to the conviftion of all the rell of mankind- He hoped they would be¬ lieve that this woman was fincete in her praifes of the Queen ; that flie fpoke in her letters the language of her heart, and that her notions had only been changed as her nnud became corrupted, when fhe fell into the haeds of the confpirators a- gainll her illuftrious miftrefs. Another feature of this lady's character he had nearly forgotten—her affe&ion for her fillers. The principles of her conduct, if flu were believed, had been anxiety on this account, yet how had flie proceeded ?
