Kcmemberi a lady sang at the request of her Royal High¬ ness; but he did not know her profession. Ue- ibre Bergami was engaged, Mr. Sicard was em¬ ployed to inquire into his character nergouii was first engaged as courier, afterwards raised to the rank of chamberlain; hut iliJ not know -'f any oiher rewards being Conferred upon him. When the Princess walked on the ii-rrace, Ber¬ gami walked behind her as servants generally do. Sir William Gcll, (the eighth witness) was called iu, and, after being indulged with a chair on account of tlie nout, was sworn. Being examined by Mr. WiU liams, he stated ; 1 am chamberlain to her Majesty the Queen. 1 have been in licr service ever since a mouth before her quitting England. I accompanied hci Majesty to Bruoswick, and afterwards to Italy. I remember a courier being discharged at Florence : but I do not exactly know whether 1 iirM applied to to the Marquis Gizdiegbri for a courier, Lut he recommended Bergami as a pro¬ per person : he said he had known his family, v.hieh was reduced, but that he knew him to be honest, faithful, and ho¬ nourable ; that he was above the situa- would soon be advanced, ii he behartd well iu the family of the Queen,of which he had no doubt. I saw Bergami, while iu iiis courier dress, met by the Marquis in the public streets. The Marquis threw his arms round the neck of Uurgnmi and kissed him twice. This we thought very remarkable. The custom of saluting each ether wasa common ane among geutle- menin Italy. Sir William was examin¬ ed as to the Priiices&N enhance into Xa- nhsfy and the events thai occurred there: lie confirmed, in eveiy thins;, the state¬ ment of the lion. Keppel Ciuven. The dress which the I'rincess wore, as the Genius of History, was similar to that of Mr. Hope's statue of Mineiva. When the l'rinccss passed the last time through Rome as Queen, the witness being there, renewed his attendance as chamberlain to Her Mnjcslw On that occasion saw ihe passport given Ihe Queer., and signed by Cardinal GoHSalvi, secretary of state io his Holiness the Pope. That passport was left with the postmaster at the iirst Mage. How was the passport madeout ? The Solicitor General objected to this question ou two grounds : lirsl, because uo parole testimony was admissible as to a written document; and second, be¬ cause it had no relation to the case. Mr. Denman answered the objection. He conceived that, according to the strictest rules of the strictest courts, parole testi¬ mony was admissible as to a written doc¬ ument, when that document itself could not be produced ; and the witness had Stated that the passport iu question had been left with the posunatter. As t^ US relation to the case, he would show that, in (he passport?, b-pr Majesty bad In-cm i designated meielv b) Mil- liilo <»f i'VAf i-ess Caroline of I'-iuii-wi k.-t-r of i '■■'■' Jaiid : tl. ii tUv S-'* " ' t\ ■■( I i* H*d n ■- the l\pe l.ail, i le l': - • >.i oJ ;...:t M"1 ; • peiii'.Uits \»as biec I.. :^ Wt.; '• i- .. • ' fit, of his own authority, to degrade licr t^Iajesty at Rome ; nay, more, that he had acted in that manner at the repre¬ sentation and throuf'h the influence of (he Hanoverian ambassador at Rome; and further, that the Hanoverian ambas¬ sador had received his instructions from those individuals who hail hern most ac¬ tive iu bringing forward the present pro¬ secution against her Majesty, iu collect¬ ing evidence against her, and in corrupt¬ ing witnesses, of whom he might now safely say, that they stood convicted of perjury before their lordships' bar. It was certainly a relevant thing for her Ma¬ jesty's counsel to show by what motive* her prosecutors were actuated. After some observations from the Marquis of Lausdown, Lord Krskine, and the Lord Chancellor, the question was dropped, and the examination resumed. When 1 saw the Queen al Rom-, on the la*t oc¬ casion to which 1 have alluded, I saw Bergami several tim a man who wa- nailing certain frees that had fallen across the path. I was at the masquerade wHh the Rrincesa at the house of the K)"g. I wan there the whole time, and was fuueh fatigued With it. I iHrtifcrir* on the Constitution.

Xow, 1 a3k j Gell, whether or not, iu t m _■ a. jou, Sir yv III lie demeanour of the Queen towards Bergami, or in the demeanourof Bergami towards the Queen you saw any thing indecorous or impro¬ per ?— Not Iu the least. In what man¬ ner did Bergami conduct himself towards the Queen on the occasions when you saw them together ?—Always with respect. He did every thing that he ought to do. He did unfiling that appeared lo me ex¬ traordinary or particular. What length of time was the countess of Gldi in at¬ tendance ou the Queen whilst you were with her ? At the Viile Grande, alone, for three months. Had \ou an oppor- tuuity of judging of the con duet, demean¬ our, and manners ^i the countess O-Mi ? 1 had a \cvy good opportunity, 1 sat next to her every day at dinner. I now ask )ou whether or nut the countess of O.'di is a person of low ami Vulgar mau- ucis ? Certainly not. VVftttt are the ap¬ pearance and demeanour of the Counter? Very pleasing ; she is rather good look¬ ing, mid is a very modest lady. Upon any occasion when Bergami has come to see you, or you haw been obliged to s-_u hi.n?:uul the Queen was not present, IVbat WCre his conduct and demeanour towards you as to manner : Quail such occasions he was more respec'tfu! than was necessary. He generally required to be pressed before lie sat dun it.

I believe it is rory usual. 1 know Baron Ouipteda. I saw bici at the Queen's table at dinner. I cannot re¬ member more than once at this moment. I have met him at other tables. 1 have been in the Last, and have beeu in the habit of seeing a Moorish dance, not ou- I) iu the Eastern countries, but in Spain. Mr. Williams.—Will you describe this dmce generally, if you can do >o ?— (Much laughter.) The Lord Chancel¬ lor—Recollect, Mr. Williams, that sir Wtiu Gell has got the gout.—(Liughter) Give me any description, verbally, of the manner iu which this dance is usual!) pel formed ?—1 believe every one lias beciithaSpauUh bole to danced at our theatre* : it h very iike that. Iu one part of the dance ihe two performers com- together, sometimes iu an attitude of defiance, and Sometimes iu an amo¬ rous altitude. The same dance prevails throughout the south of Europe. K\ery bod\, ladies and gentlemen, saw it with- out making any particular remark. I be¬ lieve it prevails from Madrid lo China. It is common in every pail of Italy.

I do not know any thing of Lord Kxmoutii dining with the Queen. When I was at Rome ou the last occa¬ sion, I do not know whether Bergami Was received iu the families of the Ro¬ man nobility, but I do not believe he went out. Cioss-examincd by Mr.Parke.—I was iu lior^e a few days only the last lime. I was in attendance upon her Royal Highness, after her return from her long voyage, the whole time she was there, which, I should think, was a very few days'. After the cxpnarion o[ [hose few days, I asked leave of the Queen, uml went to Naples, i accompanied ln-r Royal Highness wheu she went tirct to Naples, and was with Iter when *he ar¬ rived there iu the evening, about sunset.

Suppofing it had been proved that th^ie was a ciiminal inter¬ com fc between her Royal Highnefs and Bergami, and that pcrgami had acquired a complete dominion over the mind and bo¬ dy of this iiluftiious PrincefcY, do you think it probable thai you could have obferved nothing of Lhe kind ? The Solicitor Gcne- tal, with the created possible deference, objected to the question. Lord Eifkine.
