r THE QURINV. astmt from i pahiphlet jolt pithlished, entitled " A Statement of Facts concerning her Majesty's Vassutret ist•italy. and particularly her appearance at the ,Vasquerade, at the Theatre of Sea Carlo, rig Wrieki." 3i Ms been said that Madame Murat (Ex-Queen 6:•voline, for the Ladies are name-sakes) retired in eminitiasterice of the indecency of dress and appear. rove of her Rhyel Highness; the fact is, Madame Aura[ did go out of the theatre to her palate (there teem; • covered, communication between these two t aaies), in consequence, I believe, of a head-ach, er some trifliog iu6rmity to which females are sub-. ivhich Royal Ladies perhaps feel with more e.:atenese than others; but she returned, and went with her litishaint (having bid farewell to the . F-'aress of Wales) a little before three. Het lineal Highness left the theatre almost itnmediatelf l . fter. She had been accompanied all the nightie, • 'fro ladies, and at times a men was with her, wks appeared to be in the rank of an attendant. She had rue'rained her assumed character, in which there was vertainly nothing of indecency or lightness of car nage. with much grace and talent; indeed the e,stunee of a Neapolitan peasant, completely el starless every thing indecent ;—there is no uncover ect bosom—no naked back—no showing of legs...- every thing (though composed of very gaudy co lonia) is modest and decent. Again, it is asserted that whenever her Royal Highness appeared at the ilaiatre, she and her compauions were generally hiss ed, and compelled to retire on account of the inde cency of their dress.-0 bravo ! this is a bold asser tion, but it carries its contradiction with it.— What ! hiss the Princess of Wales out of a theatre ! such a thing never could have entered into the *heads of • Neapolitan audience—they doted not do it; Murat would have sent the best man in his domi nions to the castle, or to the petites maims (mad house), a favourite way of punishing conspirators and emissaties with that magnanimous man, had he dared to offer such an insult to her Royal High ness. How silly to make such an assertiou! it car ries lie—lie—written clear in its very Nee; it re qrthieri all the ignorance of the assertor to broach it. surd lie has ',Wady shewn he knows nothing of the language, customs, and mantels of Italy. God help him! he has even forgotten the geography of that country. A word to him by the way of ut iorrnation : in the theatres of Naples, soldiers are placed to suppress, par force, - any sign of tumult; no biasing or huotilig is allowed even towards the actors on the stage; but, es for hossitor or hooting a person in the house,they would Of soon think of hissing their sun in the dog-days because he shone too hot. Frepeut, they durst not do it. " Somewhat too rudch of this"—that her Royal Highoesa never recited that remark and astonishment by her dress did conduct, which some fair English ladies have since dime in the same theatre, I can assert. Her Royal Higheess for several months remained et Naples, during which time the was invariably received with every testimony of respect at the court and at the mansions of the most distin guished Neapolitini families. Among the ladies with whom she was most familiar were the Princes* of CNSI*IIO, the Marchioness of G illo (wife to the Minister for Foreign Affairs), the Marchioness of Cavalcenti, and the Duchess of Sant'Arpitio. Her way of living, during her residence in that delightful capital, was on the whole retired—Aer Marines were incessant, and nothing seems to have been wanting to procure her Highness's assistance, bait the claim of real want and infelicity. Her Royal Highness left Naples attended with the respect and good wishes of tide most respectable part of the community, and the prayers and bless ings; of many whom she had relieved in the hour of weed or on the bed of sickness. was at Rome during the time her Royal High nee. made that city (once the centre of power and rotamend, suit even caw in its ruins the bright pour star fir the lovers of art, of antiquity, and of litera ture.) her residence; there she seemed to *buil the &anise of the multitude, and to seek, with a few eliesea friend.. the pleasures which that great but fallen Gty presents iii such almorlistice to the feel ing heart and reflective mind. I hive met tier Meal Highness at the Coliseum, in St. Peter's, and tit several other of those places celebrated in the recori!s of ancient and modern art. Her Rive! Highness was at times a visitant at the conv.ersasioni of the Nobility of thet city, and her great orevelliog, her knowledge of the *odd, tier taste fir literature, and her enthusiastic feeling for all that is grand and beautiful, snide her ever welcome. Ru tie is not. like Naples, a place of noise sod concourse. 1 hid no opportunity of rib s/trying tier Royal Highness's conduct in public; bat this I can say, she was respected by the higher orders; admired by the artists and Itterati,• with which that city abounds, and was followed by the prayers Or the poor and unfortunate. I also met with her Royal Highness one evening at the theatre of Proem. tier Rays! H•ginwes ' wis in a front be: of the theatre, amid premed to participate in the wit and character of the piece (a comedy of Goldoni%) in such a manner es c said oily be b It by a persair who had well stortiiil Italy rind iie inhabitants. The audience paid her a very inerked respect. - • Prom Cats time I did not see her Royal Highness u•itil one morning that I met her in the streets of Aldan. lit (list city, the moat polished mud literary of Italy, site was every where received with a respect due to her rank, and • reverenee and affection which only her great talent and stspeiior beneficenre and scut's* cottld ensure. She at that time resided at a retired and beau tiful house situated on the Like of Como. Site visit ed, and her visits were returned by many persons of rook and talent Ist the neighbourhiaoll. There was 11.4 a charitable institution to which she was trot a itistingu•sheil and generous betief.cirees; there was not • cottage withiu the range of 11311 e .• in which snitery and ItopeLreeneis .1 sadly growled" (for plenty and comfort have not universally followed the change of government and the 4* all-wise" ideci-ions of Congress). hat that her pressor, of 'Ler bounties bestowed inoielaser, sod revived sh e hope of better liars owl briars prospects.

In my excursions nn this romantic lake, I have frequently seen her Royal Highness sailing in a little boat, with a book in her hand, and a lady by her side. In my wanderings round that interesting country I have heard the name of .1 La Prieteipeates d'lnghilterra" (Princess of England) echoed with respect ; and in the cottage of the poor that name was ever followed by the aspiration of gratitude and pr.iyers for her happiness and longevity. These are the few and insufficient remarks I have been able to make on the conduct of her Royal Flighnees during my travels in Italy ; few and insufficient, in truth, they are, but they may have sonic weight. and at least form a just contrast with the vile abuse and outrageous defamation which is now pouring out on . rmr HOWLED QUEEN. AMERICAN PAPERS. EITRAcTs FROM NEW TOR[ PAM' RECENTLY RECEIVED. , FRANCE. There is no doubt hut the French Government is prepared to meet our law of the last Session, re lative to the tonnage duty on French vessels, by a retaliatory Decree. Whether this will affix • duty oil American vessels beyond our ratio on French OOPS we know pot. but think that it will exceed the provi sions of our law ; and it is also probable that au addi• tional duty will be laid on American goods unless imported by French citizens. In taking this step, the French Government may be urged by a variety of considerations. 'Eke balance of trade between this country and France is against the latter, and there has been an unwillingness to adopt a commer cial Treaty with this country; motives of national pride may also lead to the adoption of this retaliatory system ; and, moreover, it does not appear that foreign commerce is a favourite object with the French Government ; their manufactories and in ternal trade seem to progress rapidly, and we be lieve that France is travelling back to the old system adopted by Napoleol. With that country we Call never expect a regular settled trade, nod must only look for occasional advantages as their wants may require. . - MEM BUENOS AYRES. The documents lately published in the National ' Intelligence,. relative to the revolution at Buenos Ayres are of the highest interest to the independence of the province. to the cause of liberty, snd pecu liarly so to the United States. That France should desire to profit ey the disisions of the new Repub lic, by placing a Prince on the throne of South America, is not very surprising—the increase and integrity of republics are by no means pleasant oh jects to Sovereigns ; but that the Bourbons, so little calculated to govern, and sitting so loosely on their throne, should desire to plant one of their hopeful sr ions in South America—should, in fact, give Knigs to other countries, while their own power is jeopardized, re, indeed, among the wonders of the age. The Prince of Lucca, whom they intended to in.ke a King, is a lad of ordinary pretensions, and cif very limited power and influence; but he was s Bourbon, and, by marrying him to a Princess of Por tugal, obtaining the consent of the Allies, assisting him with men and money. and enabling biro to appear in the character of a constitutional monarch— these very decided foes of liberty hoped to en chart' for ever the people inhabiting that vast con durnt ; but it appears that they did not obtain the consent of die English to this undertaking, and no ;shit can well aucceed without their co-operation. Fortunately it was the interest of the English to dis countenance this arraugement ; and having ob tained secret information of the plot, we can now account fur the presence of a British squadron in die neighbourhood of Buenos Ayres. The arguments made use of by the Fielich Minister are sum ciently plausible toieduce, at least, the wavering, the treacherous, and unprincipled to join him in his plans; and the countensuce which they met with indicates that the doctrines of liberty and mooed Korernment are not as well understood in South America as we could wish. The FreechGovernment anticipate no opposition from the United States, en the grounds that our 4 1 1 interest" leads us to cultivate a friendly understandieg with South America under any form of governineet. As to the English, much pains ate taws tai prejudice the people against any coulitioo with that power, by endeavouring to make it upperr that the &singed''u of the Catholic reli gion would be their aim. We are not prepared to say chat our interest would not be seriously af fected by having Souili America split up in various momirchies, particulaily so as it appears from these doc trine His that " slie diminution of republican governments was the basis of the plans adopted by the Holy Alliance for the prevervation of their thrones." It behoves us, therefore, so look very sharp after these constitutional monarchies," and to du all that shell satisfy the people of Semi' America that their safety, happiness, and liberty, depend 'you their resisting these siteinitts•to bring them wider European control; and, es they are capable of being independent, to proceed in the good work until they are so. Our course towards South America must now assume a decided and more friendly aspect. Spain hiss insulird and swindled us: there sere no niitiler terms that we eau use.

Yesterday the Court set for the trial of Praweis Adams, accused of falsehood nod forgery. The Panne' gave in a Petition to the Court. craving lime to adduce his WOWMei, and praying that their Lordships would postpone the mat till storm day. Mr. N'tttotutt, on the part ail* Paiute!, proposed, that the trial should be put off till Nuvembtr uext, whirls was seceded to by the Counsel fur the Crown and agreed to by the Court. The Clerk of the Court Ike read the indictment, charging the Pannelaitb falsehood and forge. y, in so far so be alleged, that Sir Robert Abercromby of Airihry, G.C.R. had received from him American paper monry to the amount 445,000 Spa nish dollaratoll7B ; that at that soldier time the Pannel was • soldi in th e sth regiment of foot, then in America, and said he be. Came possessed of the money a hen on an expedition under a General Officer iu the war then carrying on ; that in 1805 and subsequent year, the Panne) wrote letter. purporting to come from Sir Robert, addressed to the Naafi, U. knowleilging the debt: and also that bills to the amount o f 10,1251. i n liquidation of the alleged debt, having Sir Robert's acceptance, were supposed to have been drawn oat and signed by the ['Antoci.

This wart an action for a Libel committed by the finally of Fry against Plaintiff, in Wiring made an effigy and dressed it up to represent Mrs. Chivvy, which on the IA of May they carried round the vil lage of Prettley, near Evert:re-eel'. on a donkey, hail ing it by the appellation of timuffey 'lrma, an op probrious coot, (((((( en. well known to have been e.fre quently attached to the said Mrs. Clayey. The only witritss called was Thomas 1...gg, ass able bodied young morn-servant of the Frye, who de posed to the above facts, and acknowledged that he aided the party in their frolic. On his crass-examination by Mr. Williams, the motive for this cruel conduct towards Mrs. Clayey came out ; it appeared to be a motley of revenge for her having propagated scan. mog. against witness and r Miss Betty Fry, who, she asserted, was in the habit of keeping her bed-room door open. . „ To prevent further faintly secret's being dia. dosed the Judge interceded, awl recommended that a verdict should be taken for 40'. which was agreed to. after his Lordship had good-humouredly siseammeuded Legg to advise Miss Betty Fry to ,hrep her door shut its future.

On Sunday morning, between Mile rud t.ri o'clock, this town arid neighbourlior,d we►e visited by a thunder storm proceeding from south to hortif, of unprecedented violence sod duration. The light ruing was awfully vivid, arid some of the peels were tremendously loud and prolonged, yet resembling rather tine sharp dts'•harges of cannon iii rapid ea cesatoo, than the continuous rolling which usual'y accompanies the explosion of the electric fluid.— Persons who base beer, resident in warmer latitude, declare they never witurseed a storm of this kind of so threatening an aspect ; yet we have learned of but two casualties occurring from it, rote of them, lioa ever, sufficiently lanieirable to the sufferer. In th e immediate sir May of the town, eastward, the house of James Kincaid, aisinall cow-feeder, was twice struck by the electric matter. It first darted down the chimney leading from the kitchen, and jejuna several men and women sitting round the fire-placi, but particularly Kincaid's son, who remanied lung insensible. A few minutes thereafter the fluid struck the chimuey-head of the other gable whirl, it carried away, and in passing downward split the neatest rafters of the roof. It then tcok its coarse through the byre, which is situated in that tad of the house, rimming along the water way, whirls from its wetness arid contents formed a conductor. By this means it came in contact with the hinder legs of three cows, up which it amended, and imme diately killed them. A fourth, which stood between two that suffered, escaped, probably from having stood a little higher up, and not having her feet in the conducting matter. The hinder legs of tho.e killed were all much singed, and the bodies of the animals swelled prodigiously. A daughter of. Ki ncaid was in the loft shore the byre, at the time the fluid struck the opposite end of the hoes', arid when alarmed by the cries of the family, she descended from it, the cattle were perfectly safe iii their stalls; returning almost immediately thereafter to the bare she found them lifeless. The family are now all ras covered, with the exception of the young men, whose arm is still weak and painful; but doing well. They are left destitute by the calamity. The oilier instance in which the electric fluid took effect, was to die east of the towu, and on the bank, of the river, at Park, the seat of James Gemmel!, De•cending the chimney in the western gable of the building, it entered the kitchen, and slightly injured one of the maid-servants in bed, at the same time setting fire to the curtain*. This coo vulsion of the elements, which lasted Heady three quarters of au hour, was accompanied by s deluge of rain. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTMOUTII, IBPT[IIIIIIII 4.
