Mr. Wilde cross-examined the witness but
merely as to liiv'ul and uni'nportant points.
The examination of Louisa Dumont. a wailing
maid of the Queen's, from whom important tea
timony was expected, commenced on the after
noon of the 5oth, but was not finished when the
house adjourned. She advanced to the bar with
a degree of confidence which even the.penetra
ting glance of Mi . Brougham, who eyed her from
top- 'to toe," iid not at all ufleel. She swears
to .nany of the improprieties charged to the
Oik rn, which her station in the bed-chamber of
her mistress enabled her to '.vitness ; but up to
nhV'imc of the adjournment she had testified to
no . ct of uuilt. though the circumstances she re
lat's would be considered as s'rong presumptive
evidence
A ministerial paper or the .0th of August, has
this article : "Guilt, like all -otiicr things, has
its degrees and palliatives. The pains and pen
altie sought for against the queen cannot !c en
forced without a violation of the laws of God and
mrsn ! I.ct them look to this. Something may j
be f irly done to preserrc the throne from a de
graded queen, but nothing can be done to secure
even a kingly husband's honor at the expense of
those laws Which the three estates of the realm
have sworn to keep inviolate. Let us hope that
tin innocence of ouf queen may be established,
an'i ill will triumph Let us. however, rest as
sured, that if a contrary verdict should be given,
nothing will be donc. under the excuse of her
. ciime. against the sacred laws ot' God. which pro

dec ision of the peers, who are to consider not

The name of Theodore Majocci was announ
ced some time since in the Paris papers, to a!
the world, as one of the principal witnesses against
the queen, and the account was transcribed in al
the English newspapers. Is it then probable
that her majesty alone should be ignorant of the
circumstance ? But in fact this Theodore was
well known to have been the principal personage
in devising and planning the prosecution against
his mistress. In an article dated Vienna, July
26, it is stated : " Many of the Italian witnesses
against the queen 4 of England have becn-.hcre

Two" printed papers have been received from
Cadiz, stated to be copies of two representations
addressed, on the I Ith instant, from the J sic of
Leonrto the Cortes and to his inajcrrlyric
officers at the head of the army of observation of
Andalusiaenerals IcicjjOi pex de jJanoi, and.
Arcos 'Aguero. Tbe representations arc 'direc
ted against an order for the breaking up of that
armv, which was lately transmitted by the war
minister to the captain-general of the province.
This measure the three general conceive-to be
fraught with danger to, the. country, to the king,
to tne armv, anu to memscivca, upon tne loiiow
ing grounds, viz : I hat the Cortes have scarcely
set about the arduous and important task which
thev are to po through ; that none of the ereat
delinquents, of 18 U. or of March last in Cadiz.
fiave vet been punished : tht the fundamental
aw of the state, and the public security, are
threatened by associations which meet with pro
tection abroad, and by disturbances at home which
are combined with the criminal machin.itio'ns just
alluded to in foreign countries ; that neither the
national militia nor the new system of finances
is vet organized; that not one of those refotms
which are likely to excite so much discontent
among the wealthy and powerful classes, has
been so much as commenced ; and that the con
stitutiontd institutions have not acquired that sta
bility which time alone can confer upon them.

dislodge it from a position which they dread to
see remain the Generals, trusting that the ser
ices which they and their troops have rendered
to the country, will prevent their intentions from
being trisconstrued. or their patriotism suspec
ted, request that his majesty will be pleased to
suspend the execution of the mischievous order ;
and express their confident hop that the Coitcs
will not forsake them in the critical situation they
have been placed in by the deed of an agent of
the executive, whose directions they cannot obey
without giving up the laudable and heroic object
for which they nobly, and fortunately rose up in
arms the salvation of the country.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CORTES.
On the 5th of August, the Cortes confirmed
the yearly allowances made by their predeces-
sors in 1814. to tne King and lntants, or subse
quently stipulated in the marriage settlements of
the Queen and Intantas, as follows: 40,000.000
rs. vn. to his majesty ; 1,650.000 to each of the
Infants, D. Carlos, und D. Francisco dc Paula ;
640,000 to her Majesty ; 550,000 to the Infanta
Dona Maria Francisca. and 600.000 to the Infanta
Luisa Carlopi On the 7th they ordered the im
mediate sale of the estates ceded by his majesty
to the board pf public credit, with the exception
of. the Zero de Qrula 'm Andalusia. :
