When the Princess was dressed for the ball, did her Royal Highness go before the whole . company in the saloon ?—I only saw the Prince . ss go down from the top of the stairs, and going to wards the room.

Did not the Princess travel by land to Jeru salem, and on horseback ?—Yes, but her Royal Highness rode upon an ass. How did you travel ?—ln a carriage with the Countess of Oldi, sometimes behind the Princess, sometimes before her. The interrogation was going on u hen our Re porter left the House. Mr. CANNING arrived in Lausanne on Friday, the 19th ult. on his way to Italy, for which be set out on the following morning. The negociation for purchasing the King's Theatr e out of the hands of private individuals, into those of several Noblemen, is still on the tapis, and if fortunately concluded, i in all proba bility the It a li an O pera , under their powerful auspices, would obtain a higher der:ree of repu tation than it has hitherto done in this kingdom. Mr. THOMPSON, a second American Roseius, is just arrived from the United States, where he has been playing all the principal parts in Tra gedy, and theatrical report sa) he is to make Ids debut here at Drury-lane Theatre. That HER PsiAsnsTi has fella' among evil Advisers, it is understood that even her Legal Counsel have admitted, but if what we have heard is well-founded, those Advisers are of a more atrocious description than 'has hitherto been supposed, and instead of being friendly to TnE QuEE. , i, are making her an instrument for the pui.- pose of convulsing and spreading consternation over the whole Country, with the obvious view of exciting a Revolution. If we are rightly in formed, but most solemnly do we / hope it is not the case, HER MAJESTY intends to present herself at the Bar of the House of Lords on the conclu sion of the , Trial, and to declare, that their Lordships have given themselves a great deal of trouble to establish the fact of her having been guilty of A.deltery, a fact which she readily admits, and has deeply lamented ever since she committed it, but that it was only with one Person, and that was 44 THE HUSBAND of Mrs. FITZREREERT !I!" The object of such advice ? if HER MAJESTY has really received it, must be of the most flagitious nature, and can on ly be aimed at His MAJESTY and the Country. If WO had not beard this alarm ing information i n a quarter of the highest respectability, and that her unofficial friends make no ssruple of avowing that they have given her such advice, with 'their confident hopes that she will adopt it, we should fear to present such a communication to the Public. But it is right that the Friends of the Country, and the Con stitutional Guardians of the State, should know the full extent of the meditated mischief, that they' may be prepared against the con sequences. It is obvious that such a measure on the part of THIS QUEEN, though it might be in a very great degree injurious to the Country, would not be attended with the least advantage to her, as it is evident that nothing can vindicate her character but the complete falsification of all the charges which have been alleged against her by the several witnesses respecting her alleged intercourse with Iliparamz. SECOND EDITION. SUN-OPFICE, Half-Past FIVE. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Truts tvENING.) The cross-examination of Madame DUMONT continued till between two and three o'clock, when the QUEEN'3 Counsel having asked her re- specting the contents of some lettersfroin her to her Sister, who is still in the QUEE'eS service (which she admitted having written), and . which were alleged by the QUEENS advocates to be in contradiction to her evidence. The ATTORNEY•• GENERAL objected to parole evidence being given of written documents, the contents of which must be proved by the reading of the documents them- selves, A long argument took place, the Counsel on both sides being heard. The result was, that a question was put to the Judges, who gave their opinion that it was a decided rule in the Courts 'below not to receive parole evidence of written documents, which must speak for themselves. That according to the ordinary rule the cross- examining Counsel could not produce letters of a witness, for the purpose of discrediting Ids testimony, except after opening his case ; but there were exceptions in which Counsel might have, "such Letters read immediately, but sub ject to the consequences of their being consi dered as part of their case. The QUEEN'S Counsel decided to have the Letters of Madame DUMONT read, but first to finish their cross-examination. She was therefore again called' in and asked some further questions, the most material of which related to whether she had bargained to receive, or expected to receive any money or profit in any shape for her evi dence, to which she answered most decidedly in the negative; swearing, that she was not to re ceive, nor did she expect to receive any thing but her expences. It being then five o'clock, it was agreed to postpone the reading of the Letters till to-morrow morning. PRICE 0 THIS DAY AT Batik Stock 23lf. F STOCKS ONti 0 4 CLOCK.. Rank Long Anti—..

While I am-writing, Paris presents a con-4)100, contrast to all that might have been expected, I E7 the Conspirators had succeeded. All is gaieq . and joy. The whole population of Paris seera 9 :to be in motion ; and covers the gardens of the Thaileries; the Champs Elisees, and all the avenues' to them with innumerable walkers. Cannons brerl fired at 8 in the morning, and again at 6 p.xt. and illuminations and fire works are preparing every quarter ; with all kinds of arriusemenl gratis for the populace. For this is the feast o St. Louii (Aug. 25), which, according to, the` French customs, is kept in honour of the King ; the day of his patron Saint, and not his owa birth-day, a., we should do ; and this is the yell' day on which the Conspirators had determined/ if they had not been prevented, to destroy the King, , and overtturn the Government. But, like our Cato-street Traitors they were betrayed by an accomplice. EVENING OF THE 2,5-rn.—l have just been O. viewing the illuminations, which are splendid' and in many parts beautiful. One of, the most, striking is on the Hotel des Gerdes di Roi, or posite to the, south side of the Mullet* Gardefih on the other side of the Seine. It. consists of 3 ' line of light, shewing the whole extent of the building, wit a brilliant sun in the centre,. high above the building, and below it, in lamps, th', oldmotto of Louis XIV. " Nec pluribus impart- , The star of. the Legion of Honour shines also in brilliant light, very highly exalted, a little wal. further. The Hotel des Deputes, opposite to the . _Pont Louis. Seize, has its tine pediment and en' tablature shewn in lamps, and the portico withia brilliantly lighted, so as to shew the fine Corin" thian columns, twelve in number, like Chinese shadows. The .bridge in front of it is lighted at the 'end, but covered across the whole river with a preparation of grand fire-works. The great road through the Champs Elisees, quite to 0 6 Barriere de Neuilly, near a mile in length, i 5 lighted with festoons_ of lamps from tree to tree ( /' and that, whole space covered with swarms 0. ' people moving, but no where in confusion. TO Place de Louis XV. is architecturally nated, (I mean so as to shew the chief lines of the building), and has a beautiful effect. But now for a very different matter.-- , A'!

The father came to Amiens abo ut fifteen - , months ago, or a little more, with a your 4 wife and one child. The wife lay in there of 3 second child, and died in consequence.

The mistress of the hotel in question, (which was not that in which the mother died), has maintained the chi t ' with such aid as she could get by casual c ontri" butions from English travellers ; and there it 's ' at the age of 15 or 16 months, a helpless being' destitute of all relations, and dependent only the humanity of foreigners for' its chief supl) °,r _ This account I wish you to publish, because t 9; child has very respectable relations, living in °I . , of the best' Parts of London, who have been 0 " dressed by letter on the subject, but in 'OW' The narnes,bowever, of all the parties are knool l ; and in - my possession, and shall certainly be In au lL public, unless some interference is made, wi th l e a moderate time, in behalf of this poor orphan.
