Mr. Brougham —Another important dffttndion had been demonltrated already by the evidence, that the Queen's accus¬ ers had a power of procuring w:tuefTes which fhe could not enjoy.

It has been Hated in a public print, that i had received the particulars into which 1 examined that witnefj, from a certain let¬ ter which I held in my hand, and which I never law and never heard of; wherea*, in fail, my Lords-, [ made that examina¬ tion upon the depofieiona of moft resec¬ table witncfTes. The Attorney General.—My Lords, rry learned friend has very jtt&ly complained 1 f llatements in the puolic prints, imput¬ ing to him improper motives, and unquea tionably, I have equal if not greater grounds of complaint. 1 do not know whether any of your Loidfhips have read the morning papers, but undoubtedly one particular paper, the Times, does contain one of the fculefl and moll grofs attacks upon the Law Officers of the Crown who have the honor of appearing before your Lordlhips, 2nd alfo the moft indecent and improper commentary upon the evidence given at your Lordfhips' bar, that ever I faw on any occafion whatever. I do not know that your Lordfhips will, foi your own vindications, take notice of fuch a circumftance, but after what my learned friend, Mr. Brougham, faid upon the fubjeft of mifreprefentations, 1 could not remain Glent. Lord Lauderdale.—Now that we are, my Lords upon this fubjc<£L I think I have as much caufe to complain as any one. in a certain publication, I am re- prefented as receiving an annual flipend from Government of £30,000, when, in fad, I do not receive a tingle farthing j and this fa!(hood is placed beJore the pub¬ lic for the manrfeft pur. ofe of intimating that for this caufe, which does not exill, my judgment is to be warped, and my de- effion is to be bia-s>-d.

An Addicfs has been prefented to her Mip^f fam the hs$ks of D-nli.

The female inha- bttaius of the city of Bath appear to be eminently dtftinguilh.-d by their truly fe- mi ine capt;vatio:is. The language of their ruldress breathes a fpirit of gentle unaffefted piety, which is perfectly in u:ii- fon with the (late of my own feelings; and is always rcf.efhing to my heart. 1 re¬ gard this kind of piety as a great addition £0 the amiable properties of our fex ; and indeed without it a!l other excellence is only fuperficies without fuhltance, -a (howy exterior without the lovely reality of worth. As far as the influence of a Queen Conlort can reach, my own fex (hull have no occafion to reproach me with neglecting the culture or the encourage¬ ment of that unoftcntatious piety, which fhows itfclf in humble refignation to the will of the All Wife, in every variery of circumftances 5 in a dUfutive benevolence to ail within the circle of its agency ; and in that comprehensive charity, which, without any narrow or cxclulrve attach¬ ment to fed or party, embraces the good of atl ; and makes that good the hii>hcfl ambition of the mind, and the mofi con- Itant afptratton of the foul."

We should be tempted to op- ply the epithets brazen '.r.ced and despe¬ rate, in r«Heeling on those traits ai" cm- duct, and on the tenor ol* her answers to addresses. Several of them directly provoke a general rebellion against the government. Sh« has evidt ntly lent herself to a concerted scheme, either to intimidate or shatter it by means of the mob. Looking to the murderous and anarchical scenes inseparable from invur* reetion in this quarter, too prominent in the perspective to have escaped her dis¬ cernment, we must consider her, even though we should admit her to be inno¬ cent, of the charts upon which she is arraigned, as u furious virago determin¬ ed to avenge her wrongs at the hazard of the most awful consequences for human¬ ity and social order. If she be suppos¬ ed guilty of those charges, at the same time that she appears as an Alecto, we have one of tliL* most hideous exhibitions of shamelessneSS and reckless despite which h<r sex has over exhibited. We know of no character, even Ihe fictions of the dramatist, which would nffcrd ft parallel, except, perhaps, the Rrunhalt of Beaumont, and Fletcher, in their play of Thierry and Theodoret. The a-1* liance of Caroline with the radical de- mago&ue, \\)C the purposes of riot and revolution, should it succeed, will make a scene in the great human drama, a4 detestable as singular and eventful.

There is something iu these incidents as strikingly dramatic, aod at the same time as mysterious, as any of ihe hysterical displays of the famous Madame Man son in the affair of Fnaldes.
