took place during the risidenco of the Queen of
England at Carlsruhe, it may be interesting to
know what is said in Carlshrue itself on that sub-
ject. Before the arrival of the Queen, apartments
were taken for her at the Bear Inn. The postil-
lions, however, drove her, without ceremony, to
the Pest. Moreover, it is customary in this, and
all other respectable inns of the country, that wait-
ers, not females, should attend on the guests.—The
maids have merely to clean out the room and to
attend the beds, and it would never into the head
of any maid to enter an apartment while the guests
were in it. If Mrs. Kress did this, she must have
received particular instructions fir that parpose.—
Two chamberlains were appointed to attend the
Queen during her stay here, and they were with
her the greatest part of the day. The hour when
Kress gives out that she surprised her in her room,
was that of the Circle at Court, and the Queen was
present in it. The chamberlains in.attet.dancc on
ner must have been best able to dear up this point.
There are still Englishmen at Carlsruhe in quest of
witnesses to- confirm the dexterity antt'sincerity of
Madame Kress, and others who are seeking far
witnesses against her. Will it at last he necessary
to have witnesses again for all these witnesses ? "
The Constiintionne/ of Friday last contains the
following article, dated Carlsruhe, Oat. 13:—

" The trial of the Queen of England occupies,
at this place, a namber of individuals, particularly
since a knowledge of the impurtace which the agents
of the crown have pointed out to the •Parliament as
attaching to the evidence of Barbara Kress. Certain
it is that there have been here, for sonic time, seve-
ral Englishmen, some of whom appear to be sent to
procure testimonials i❑ favour of the woman Kre.4;
and others to collect evidence to Lapeach the credit
of that witness. Many individuals are brought to
this place from the vicinity, and different parts of
the surrounding country, fbr examination. It does
not appear that our Government interferes i i the
business. We arc assured that Baron d'Ende,
Chamberlain to the Grand Duke, has been repeat-
edly urged to repair to London, and that it has been
left entirely to his own option to go or stay.—
The Baron had been attached, by order of his
master, to the person of the Qaccn during her resi-
dence in this town, and he scarcely ever quitted her.
It is a matter of public notoriety here, that at the
hour specified by Kress, as the occasion on which she
surprised the Queen fetes-fete with Bergami, there
was a reception ut Coutt, at which her Majesty was
present. This is an alibi which could easily he
proved. We feel it our duty, moreover, to observe,
that in no inn of' respectability arc the guests
attended in their a;•artntents by the chambermaids
(title d'auberge). That service is invariable per-
formed by butlers or chambermaids (sonanelieras). It
is, theretbre, difficult to make out how this Barbara
Kress, a waiting-maid, at the posting inn, could
contrive to introduce herself into the Queen's cham-
ber while her Majesty remained in it, more espe-
cially as Barbara Kress had no business and no
pretext whatever fbr being there. These tire the
observations which arc made in this place on the
evidence of that woman."

The Jamaica Packet which has just arrived,
brings Papers to the 3rd ult. By them it appears,
that the negociasiuns between the contending parties
on the Main had bruLn off, and both were pre.
paring for war as soon as the season would
A previous correspondence had taken placa with the
Spanish General, on which the Royal Gazelle makes
the following observation :—" The Spanish nation
has held out the olive-branch to the Spanish Ame-
ricans. They have, m return, put themselves in
high estate, disdainfully rejected all overtures fur
re-union and peace, and replied to the letters trans-
mitted to them with scuffing anti abuse." The
Patriot troops were preparing to attack Santa
Martha, finding Carthagena, which place had been
supplied with provisions, too strong. For the de•
fence of the above two points, the Ceres., 28 gulls;
Fernando, !.:0; and Maria Francis a, 24, were
expected from Havanna!' ; and it was stated several
other vessels from Spain had already arrived at,
Porto Rico.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 26.—Extract of a private
letter:—" Orders are received to forward, with
all expedition, the embarkation of the troops from
the difrercnt depots in Albany Barracks for the
West Indies. The John transport is completely
equipped, and will drop down to Cowes immediately.
The mortality lamong the troops in the ditkrent
islands has been vay _great, and we lament to say,
that the gallant Sir John Keane, Governor of St.
Lucie, is extremely debilitated, front a second s.:verc
attack of the fever so prevalent in the island. The
Sophie, Sir W. Wiseman, Bart. has brought home a
quantity of dollars, on merchants' accounts. The
ship Borneo, from the East Indio-, which got on
shore on Smiley, is got of with little damage."

' On Friday an unexpected occurrence took place
in the House of Lords. Luring the period when
there is generally a short suspension of business, for-
the purpose of refreshment, Mr. Brougham stated•
that he had an important communication to make
to the House ; that he had now obtained possession
of several letters and papers or Baron Omptedue
directly proving persons tamper'ng with, and at•
tempts to suborn witnesses, particularly the sister-
of Dumont. We hope soon to lay this important,
matter before the puulic.
Prince Leopold of Saxe Cobourg called on Thurs.-
day evening at Bradenburgh House, to pay his re-
spects to her Majesty. Her Royal Highness left
his card ; but fro.n the unexpected nature of the
visit, the Queen was not in a state then to see him!:
The Queen despatched a letter immediately after to
the Prince, appointing an interview on. Friday at
one o'clock. Her Majesty's defence having been •
closed, Prince Leopold, in paying his respects to the
Queen, showed, that notwithstanding all that had
been urged against her Majesty, her character did
not sutler is his estimation. His interview with the:-
Queen continued upwards of an hour, and was no
doubt truly affecting.
Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated' •
July '2 8 :—" Since my last advices the combined:
force, under Alvera, Carrera, and Lopez, have re-
treated to the distance of thirty leagues from hence,
pursued by all the disposable forces of Buenos Ayres,
under the chief columned of Derrago, who seems to.
be full of confidence ; to-day it is said that the com-
bined forces has halted wieh an intention of giving
battle, in which case we shall know the result •
in a few days. From Chili we have no advices.
later than the Bth of May. From Tucunuma and
Salta we learn that Governor Guemes has agreed to
temporary convention, for allowing a commercial,
intercourse with the Provinces stillin pmsession of
the Royalists. It is said that broods and mules to
the amount of 500,000 dollars, °have already been
purchas.al. Similar proposals had frequently been
inede wider Puerreddon's administration. but re.
jected under the erroueous idea of distressing the
encmy.

A letter from Rome, dated the 7th inst. mentions.
a curious question having arisen between the Papal.
Government and that of Vienna. The Pope's Le.
gate ut Ferrara has reclaimed, in the name of the
Pontifical Covertunent, the Count Canonici, of that
city, who had Leen arrested by the Austrian
authorities at Verona, for having belonged to the
association of the Carbonari. The Legate has
founded his demand on the ground that the Count.
Canonici, being a subject of St. Peter, is, in that
quality, not- amenable to any foreign tribunal.—
Will the Austrian Government comply with this,.
demand of the Holy Father.
