nary proeeedings it is for me to speak; it is for
me to remonstratc with your Majesty ;‘ it is for
I have always demanded a fair trial." This is
what i new demand, and this is refused me. In-
stead ofa fair trial, I am to be subjected to a sen-
tence by_ the Parliament, passed in the shape of a “
law. Against this Iprotest, and upon the follow-
ing, grounds :— . . _
The injustice of refusing me a clear and dis-
tinct charge, of refusing me the names ofthe
witnesses, of refusing me the names of the pla-
ces wlicrelthe alledged acts have been committ-'.:d;
these are suliiciently flagrant and-revolting ; but
it is against the constitution of the Court itself
that lparticularly object, and that 1. most solemn-
ly protest. . - ~
Whatever may be the precedents as to Bills
of Pains and Penalties, none of them,except those
relating to the Queen of Henry VIll.~can apply
here ; for here your Majesty IS the plaintiff.—-
Here it is intended by the Bill to do to you what
you deem good, and to do me greatharm. You

fiwliicli is an equally alarming power, new Peers
may be created for the purpose, and give their

isters would advise these measures, if found he-
cessary to render their prosecution‘ successful,
there can be very -little doubt ; seeing that tliey
have hitherto stopped at nothing, however unjust
or odious. V , _ _ '
To regarcl such a body as a Court of Justice
would l)t:.t0 calumniatetliat sncrednanic; and for’
me to suppress an expression army opinion" on '
the subject, would be tacitly to lend myself to my
own destruction. as well as to an imposition upon;

I beg that it may be observed, and remembered,
that the statement has l)ct‘!‘l forced from me. . l

by tacitly consenting to it, sufler my lwhor to be

iftbe‘.ludges and Jurors be chosen by the accu-
ser; aud ifl were tacitly to submit to a tribunal
of this dcscription,I should be instr.‘u mental inmy

Oh thesegt-ountls I protest against this species
of trial. I demand a trial in a Court where the
Jurors are tuléetl impa.rt‘iully from amongst the
people,’ and where theproceeclings are 0pL'f’l and
fair. Such a trial I court, and ‘to no other will I
willingly submit. . If your Majesty persevere in
the present proceeding,I shall, even in the flou-
ses of Parliament, face my accuse-rs ; but Ish-all
regard any decision they may l'll‘<ll'\C against tne as
not in the smallest degree reflecting; on my ll0l'l-

I have uow.frankl-y laid bcfoze your l‘.‘_lajesty a
statement of my wrongs, and a declaration of my
views andintentious. You have cast upon me ev-
ery slur to which the female character is liable.
Instead ofloving, honoring, and cbelishing me,
agreeably .to your solemn vow, you have put-sued_
me with hatred and scorn, and with all the means
of destruction. You ‘wrested from me my child,
and with her my only comfort and consolation.—._
You sent me sorrowiug through thejworld, and
even in my sorrows pursued me with unrelenting
‘persecution. Having left me nothing but my
innocence, you would now, by a mockery of jus-
tice, deprive me even ofthe reputation of-pnsses.-
sing that. The poisoned bowl and the poinard,
are means more manly. than pel'jtll‘C(_l witnesses
and partial tribunals ; and they are less cruel, in
as much as life is'- less valuable than honor. If
my life“ wo_uld have satisfied your Majesty, you
should have had it on the sole condition of giving
me a place in the same tomb with my child ;_ but
since you" would send me dishonored to the grave,
I will resist the attempt with all the means that it
shall please God to give me. g

TIIE QUEEN'S TRIAL. A
Livilrpool papers to the 20th August are re-
cei-ve'd at Philadelphia. _
The trial of the Queen commencedon the 17th
of August before the House of Lords. The con-
course of people which assembled was immense.
At a quarter past 9, the Queen. arrived at St.
James square, from Bradcnburg house. The
‘people assembled in the square greeted her with
the most enthusiastic cheers, the clapping of
CT L"3""J“"‘4' '<)r - rl _hr-
by frequent inclinations ofthe head, and on alight-
ing from her carriage, repeatedly bowed to the
assembled multitude. . ' _
After the House o[.L0t'ds had been ‘organized,
: the Queen, attended by Lady, Hamilton. 30‘! f0_l°
«lowed by her counsel, entered the House. heir
Lordships rose and made an obeisance. ‘I.-ler ma-
jesty took her-seat in a chair prepared for her be-
‘side the steps of the throne; she was dressed in
mourning. with a white veil thrown over her head.
Aft'cr~-some preliminary points of laW’li2’ld been
settled, Mr. Brotlgham, the Queeu’s counsel,
came‘ forward for the purpose of being heard gen-
erally against the principles of the bill. He made
a speech of considerable length, which he conclu-
(lccl as follows : , .
‘ The sooner you retrace the stop you were in-
duced to take in an unwary moment, the sonnet‘
you will promote the peace and real s.alety_ of the
country,,a'nd the more you will consult the true
dignity and honor of the crown. If your Lord-
ships decidetliat this measure shall proceed. no
"further, you-will he saviours of the state, and se-
cure the substantial happiness of the whole coni-
mnnity.’ ' ‘
' Mr. Denmar. was then called,and informed by
the‘ Lord Chancellor that but two counsel could
be heard. Mr. Denman, on accountof indispu-
sition, asked the indulgence, of being heard next
day, which was granted, and the bouseatljourned.
' 'l'he'Que'cn left the House almost immediately
"amidst the shouts-of the multitude.
T On‘ the question for anntllling the proceedings,
the votes were, Contents 4 I-—-Non-Contents 200.
Lord Bryon arrived in London on the evening
..a-'...-....l. -n-.-;...~.. ..
’ of the 17th, with dispatches for the Queen from
the Continent- _ ‘
The mass of the Italian witnesses were at their
prison-house in Cotton garden.
A large‘ bodyof artillery arrived ‘in London on
tlle_l6th from VVoolwich, ‘to form a partof the
military arrangenients during the Queen's trial.
The northern roads are so crowde'd_ with troops
on their match towards Lonrlon, that it. would
seem as if the town would be put in a state of

The Times says there are only the following
imaginable issues to the prosecution of the queen.
lst. The Queen’s acquittal, which must raise
throughout the,_empire a frightful blaze ofindig-
-nation and resentment at the injuries of which
that favorable decision will be received as proof.
2d; The Queen’s condemnation,which, consid-
ering the popular notion r.-ntertained of the means
by which suchsentence may have been procured
against her, we do not hesitate to 2-:8}/' will be far
from removing the prepossessions of which she
is the obj. ct, and from colivincing her well-wish-
ers that she lias been justly condemned. In either
of these two cases, therefore, it is easy to see what
perils and C8l2!n‘lllit:S_l‘ll1.ty result from a persever-
auce in this tremendous measure, and how deep-
ly every honest and conscientious mind must feel
itselfinterestcd in making Ministers retracr: their
footsteps. _ 1'
3d. The House of Commons, with t\-'lr.,.\Vilber-
force at its head, may qiiash the whole proceed-
ing as ruinous to the public welfare. Such a
measure as this would indeed’ be effectual to more
than one important national end. It would re-
store the Queen to her rights, and the country to
repose, and would cast such aistigma on the pre-
ceding views of Ministers. that not a man ofthem
could continue for twenty-four hours in his office.
After stating thus much, it remains only to warn
the King’s advisers that they had better do of
themselves what the House‘ of Commons may
othcrwise do without thcm—withda aw the record

Later.--—'I'h‘e ship Magnet,arrived at N._Yo_rk,
brought London papers to the 22d of August.
In the House of Lords on the 19th and 21st,
the'Atto_rney General laid before them _a lengthy
statement of facts against the Queen, which went
carried on between the Queen and Bergami, and
that her conduct was extremely censor-able in
other respects——which the attorney general was
instructed he should prove in evidence.
details of this statement producejd extraordinary
sensations in the House. A few minutes after he
concluded,the Queen entered the House, and took
her seat. After.,rhe witnesses were called, the
Solicitor General summoned one of them named
Theodore Majacchi,who was immediately attend-
ed toithe bar. The Queen, on hearing his name
turned round and loudly screamed, ‘ Vt/hat ! The-
odore‘ l’ and hastily darted from her seat through
the door to her apartment, followed, after a short
"interval, by Lady Ann Hamilton. The Queen
had not been seated above three minutes, and her
scream and exclamation operated upon the feel-

travelled by night and slepi in tents by ‘day; the
Ptinct-ss’s tent had aismall travelling bed and a

place they ploceeded to Jaffa, thence to Jerusa-

deck of uhich a tent was fixed as before. A bath

‘ The above is but a small part, of the evidence
"given in by 3/laj_acchi._ The next day he was
again put’ to the. bar, and wascross examined by
Mr. Brougham for some time, but no facts" were
elicited from him, which invalidated in the slight-
est degree the testimony he had given.
About 12 o'clock the Queen tookher seat with-

threw her eyes intently on the witness.

An erroneous opinion is gone abroad that her
Majesty did not expect that Theodore l‘.'lajaccl'.i
would give evidence against her. On the contra-
ry the Queen knew that he was one of the ori-
ginal promoters of the plot; on his coming into
the House of Lords, therefore, she was seized
with a kind of hysterical affection at the sight of
