LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
Charleston, Nov. 13
By the ship Isabella, Capt. MacCall, from London, we have received London papers to the 6th October inclusive—two days later than the accounts by the Importer, at New York from Liverpool. Some extracts from which follow. We learn verbally by this arrival, that the expectation was general in London, that the bill of pains and penalties against the queen, would pass both houses of parliament: but there was nevertheless such a strong feeling in her favour throughout the country, that the government would be afraid to adopt any hostile measures towards her.
Our extracts are from the Times, an opposition print, and from the New Times, a paper attached to the ministerial side of the question. The first named paper is filled with Mr. Williams' Speech, who followed Mr. Brougham, and with the examination of several witnesses, a summary of which is given below.
London, October 6.
The proceedings against the queen yesterday were interesting from two causes:—from the commencement of the examination of the evidence for the defence; and, if we look to the anterior proceedings, from that evidence being at once respectable, and conclusively favourable. Unfortunately, the nation has for some time been familiarized to an examination in support of a cause, which cause, even were the evidence conclusive, must have been ruined by the character of those who gave it. We have now at last come to evidence that may be believed.
For the accommodation of those readers whose time is so employed that they cannot toil through the evidence, we subjoin a brief abstract:—
1. The clerk of the queen's solicitor proved, that the chamberlain of the grand duke of Baden, though anxious to come over as a witness for the queen, yet was afraid, lest he should offend his sovereign.
2. Col. St. Leger proved, that ill health was the sole cause of his leaving the queen's service, after eleven years—from 1808 to 1819.
3. Lord Guilford visited the queen at Naples, and saw her in company with his sister at Rome, Civita Vecchia, and Leghorn. Her conduct perfectly proper—no familiarity with Bergami. Visited the queen at Villa d'Este; saw her in a boat with Bergami, who rowed it; dined with the queen—Bergami and Madame Oldi sitting at table. Bergami's manners perfectly unobtrusive. The queen's towards him not such as to call for any particular observation. Madame Oldi's language good Italian, with a slight Milan accent. She did not leave on lord Guilford's mind that he had been conversing (he conversed but little) with a vulgar woman. Bergami did not appear superior to the situation which he had formerly filled.
4. Lord Glenbervie met the queen at Genoa; lady Glenbervie volunteered to act lady of the bedchamber until the arrival of lady Charlotte Campbell: the best company of Genoa at the queen's house, where lord Glenbervie frequently dined with his lady. Bergami treated as a servant, without any undue familiarity; he behaved towards his mistress with becoming respect.
5. Lady Charlotte Lindsay quitted the queen at Brunswick, according to an agreement made before they left England, in 1814. In March, 1815, saw and attended her at Naples, where all the English of distinction, and many Neapolitans, and other foreigners of rank, visited her majesty, and frequented her table—accompanied the queen to Rome, Civita Vecchia, and Leghorn—left her majesty there, to have the advantage of her brother's, the present earl of Guilford's, escort to England—never saw any unbecoming familiarity with Bergami—resigned the queen's service in 1817, in consequence of the advice of her brother.
The affair of the Maretti's, of Milan, was brought forward again: and lord Liverpool allowed that the matter of Col. Browne now required further investigation.
