STILL LATER FHOM KYGM.YJ). KKW-YOKK. SEPT. 30. We are again favored with an arrival froai Liv erpool, the ship Magnet, capt. Ogden, from that port on the 24th Aug. by which we. have received our files of London papers to the ?2d,and of Liv erpool to the 21th. II v these papers we have the continuation of the quern's trial before the house of lofds. After the preliminary proceedings, the trial war opened on the part of the government by a pccch from the attorney-general which will be found i;i part 'in our paper this morning. By this statement, it would seem that the charge of high criminality against the queen is expected to be made out by circumstantial evidence. The first witness introduced $was an Italian named Theodore Majacci, a man who had been a servant in the queen's family in Italy, and elsewhere, alien, as princess of Wales, she was travelling in different quarters of the world. If hi credit is " hot shaken by cross examination, or other wit nesscs, his testimony goes far to bear out the ut torncy-gencral in several of his statements. TViai of the Queen tetond day.

The attorney-general immediately proceeded to address the house in a low tone of voice, and spoke as follows : u My lords. I now attend at your bar to fulfil the duty which you have de manded, of stating to your lordships the circum stances which are to be adduced in evidence in support, of. the bill novr under yoar lordships consideration. A duty, my lords, more painful or more anxious, I believe, was never imposed upon any individual to accomplish.

I have, my lords, to state to your ordships the circumstances which arc to be ad luced in evidence to your lordships in support of those serious and heavy charges which are made in the preamble of the bill, which has al ready been so much the subject of discussion Charges which, In the language of the preamble, not only reflect the greatest scandal and disgrace upon the individual against whom thay-a made, a ' f . . . 'w a out also rcueci trie greatest aisgrace-upon ine country itself. The highest individual, as a sub- ect, in the country, is charged with one of the most serious offences, both' against the laws of God and man it Is that of an adulterous inter course ; an adulterous intercourse carried on un- ler circumstances of the greatest aggravation. My lords, upon the nature of this charge, or upon the imoortance of lias investigation, it is nuitc unnecessary for mc to enlarge. Your lordships, and every individual in the country, are fully ca pable of estimating these topics in their proper ight. the only consolation, my lords, which 1 derive under the discharge of the duty which I ha vc n6wtoful fili is,' that it calls' not ii porf nfc to address myself to your lordships passions or feel mgs ; and that I shall best discharge it according o four lordships commands by abstaining from any observation which might lend to aggravate the charge made against so illustrious a prison I shall confine myself, in this stage of proceed' ing.to a clear, simple, but full recital of the facts which are alleged in evidence., My lords, we are now arrived at that period of those proceedings in which silence can no longer be preserved.

HOUSE Or LORDS, AUG. SI. Theodore Majueci't Examination. In the beginning of the year 1816, Rergaml became equerry to her royal highness. BerRami told me that he would, before Christmas holidavs, make me a present- Dergami wore livery. He dined at the' table of the upper servants . Hie ro nimus sometimes divided the duty of Ilergami about the princess. The duty was taken by turns amongst the upper servants In the morning, when they carried the trar for breakfast, Micro- nimus often pcriormed the service out of his turn As to the loom of the princess and that of Ber garni, there was a corridor and cabinet between them, and on the left wts the bed-room of. Ber ami. 1 here was nothing else. On the other side of the room of Hergami, there was a saloon. No pcrso.i slept in the cabinet. '1 he other ser vants were separated. Dergami met with an ac cident, a kick from a horse, when the princess went to Agnan.' It was necessary to bring him home. I did not do so. I waited upon him- I he first time l saw the princess was in the prcs (nee of Hieionimus und Dr. Holland; who was dressing hi foot- At firstv vinegar was brought In consequence of this accident, I was put to sleep in the cabinet for five or six nights.- I saw some body pass in the night : there was always a fire in the room: 1 saw her royal. highness pass through -the corridor twice to, Bergami's room during this time, half an hour past midnight She staid there about IV or, 15 minutes. She' passed on. in her return, tery softly,; and very near my bed not to see me. 1 heard only some whispers in Uergami s room. Between la ann i ininuies sne remained ine secona urae, ana i heard a whispering conversation. 1 here was a small garden attached to the cab' inet, which was for the most part always locked,' more often closed than opcn.Bergami kept the key.. I never saw her walk in the garden. About a month, or forty-five days she. remained at Na ples, Bergami attended her. Some English Jeft her Royal Highness, M. bicard, Captain Hesse, equerry, as be was said to be ; the Chamberlain, a tall man, I believe his name is Gell ; he had two small muttachios. I do not know whether Mr. Keppel Craven was one.: J do not know him byname. A small lady, rather thin, left her also,, but I do not recollect her name. From Naples I went to Home, and from thence to Civita Vec chia. Wewent on board th'e Clorinde to Leg horn. A lady tall, ruber fat, joined the Princess at Genoa, lady Charlotte Campbell. The Prin cess livad in a palace on the road leading to Mi lan. Between Bergami V room and the Prin cessS there was room purposely for trunks and Portmanteaus. In coming put of the Princess's fwninherewas lik?wjseff Wntraiicc through the cabinet for the portmanteaus to Bergami's room. At Genoa Bergami breakfasted in a small room at the tQpi the grand saIaon.-He and the Prin cess took breakfast together. ,1 was hired to wait upon her royal highness, and waited upon both. iNobody.lse breakfasted thereu, I .knocked at Bergami's door one night ,tot awake, him, to tell hmyliere wirepcpple, in iheronni!. iJtas,half, past 1. Bergami made no 'answer, though I knocked so loud, that Bergami must have, heard me. - - . s. ,., . r The Princess rode out sometimes in company; Bergami accompanied her. .Bercranu nut his arm round her to put her on the ass ; that is, he held her hand lest she should fall. Bergami had more authority than the other servants. There was an apparent familiarity kept up between t he rnncess anu ucrganu. , at Mitaq sne tirst resu td at the hdusQ called La Castana, which belong ed to the fam;iy of Barromeo. At the house of BarromeothcTbed chambers of the Princess and Bergami were separated only by a wall. There was a st-aircasft. lctveen ihe rooms, and two doors, bnefrom the Princess's chambfrr, and live other from Bergami's, led out to tlic staircase. The 10 or 50 I ij . H!ic tcrA a joyti.cy to Vcricc ' Lady Charlotta Cunpbtll accompanied her from Genoa to Milan. I knew the Countess of Oldi j the came into tic service of the Pilncess two or three days after lady C, Campbell went away. The Countess of Oldi was tM to be the sister of Bergami. I knew it but it ws not generally known at first. At Venice we went to the Grand de'Brclagne Hotel. - The bed rooms of the Prin cess and Bergami were near to each other Ther - .a ' - .... were divided ny me saloon into which both bed 1 rooms opened. 1 saw the I't tncess walk out with Bergami, both at Milan and Venice, arm in arm : 1 twice a Milan, and often at.

Whilst at Tunis she resi ded some time in the palace of the Bey. Here also there was ' communication bef ween their bed rooms' which the witness described. She visited the grotto of the seven sleeping men. Whilst here Bergami dined with her royal high nessf and they were left tete-a-tete after dinner, and the-Princess sitting on her travelling bed with Bergami near her. Hence they proceeded to St. Jean dc Acre. Tbey travelled by night ' and slept in tents by day. The princess's tent had a small travelling. bed and sopha in it, and Bergami reposed under the same tent with her royal highness. .From the above place they pro ceeded to Jaffa, thence to Jerusalem, embarked on board the polacre again, on the deck of which a tent was fixed as before.

Two or hree balls were given, which were only atten ded by the peasantry. Her royal highness after- -wards, proceeded on her jourpey to Bavaria, ac companied as usual by Bergami, and the rest of her suite. On her arrival at Munich, they pro ceeded to the Golden Star, where the apartments which her royal highness had formerly occupied were prepared for ber ; but as the sleeping rooms were distant, some change was ordered by Ber gami, in the prlsencc of her royal highness. at this period, 5 o'clock,) the Jiousc adjourned. f :walnhwmh;a edj-ith Beraii.SJ m BON A PARTE.. .7 ,jQne of our English papers, s;fys 'fis confi dently asserted in Paris, that one bf the objects of the last audience which Prince Ksterhaiy the AuBtiian Ambassador to our Court.J liad with his majesty, was to make known to the fong of Pnr" land that the five years' imprisonnienTof Boni parte, agreed on in 1815, having cxpiiedVAustiu will no' lohkrerbe Ttiarly to liirderenttoh, and wouTdTioTlongelhuu wnicn sentiments Russia coucucu -r-,"" o-r,ir. ntrr. u- tow n on Fridat evening; VTm the tukca.
