Letters from Berlin of the 13th inst. state, that
the Prussian Guvernment has entered into a contract
for a new loan, to the amount of thirty millions of
dollars. The contractors are said to be the mercan-
tile houses of Rothschild, Beneche, and Schickler,
who receive, as security, a deposit of treasury note,
to the amount of fifty millions of dollars. The
plan of this loan is to be the same as that recently
concluded at Vienna for the Austrian Government,
and will be wholly negotiated on the Continent.
In reference to the deposition of Theodore Ma-
jocci respecting the giuoco, or dance, performed by
~lalwmet in presence of the :Queen, and which
was so strongly reprobated by the Attorney-General,
we wish to call the attention of the public to the
description given of it in many books of Travels,
both in British India and in Turkish countries,
where it is so familiar as to be always performed ut
the marriages and festivals of the Mahomedans, both
high an low. In India it is called " Nautch." In
Egypt, Savary calls the performance the " Almc."
Most of the English ladies as well us gentlemen in
:ndia must have seen it, as matter of curiosity.
Forbes' Oriental Memoirs, Miss Maria Graham's
Work, the Asiatic Researches, and many other books
may be referred to, in proof that the usage is com-
mon in the east; and this explanation to the BritiNh
public may render innoxious the severe strictures oa
this charge of the Attorney-General.
We are greatly deceived it' the discovery of Ma-
wed having► been a resident in England, and the
jolly in which he then spoke of the Queen, be the
only unexpected tiict that will soon be established
by evidence. We have just learn a most interesting
facts respecting the rumours engendered in Milan—
that hot-bed of calumny and slander! buring the
residence of the Princess of Wales in that neigh-
bourhood, persons were regularly stationed in the
different coffee-houses frequented by English travel-
lers, for the purpose of inipressing strangers, espe-
cially thz English, ivith strung ideas of the miscon-
duct of her Royal Highness. 'the waiter of one
particular coffee-house mentioned to a traveller—
pointing to two men sitting in the room—that these
men were always there, and seemed to have no
other business or occupation but to give currency to
slanders of the foulest description against the Prin-
cess of Wales.

CASE IN Po:Nr.—An eminent Barrister had some
years ago a cute sent to him for an opinion. The
case stated was the most prepogeruus and improba-
ble that ever occurred to the mind of man, and con.
eluded by asking, whethe , under such circumstances,
an action would lie ? He took hi 3 pen and wrote,
" Yes, !Tose WITNESSES mill LIE 100, but not other-
wise."

An article from the Maine, of the 6th August,
says—" The reported reconciliation of the Porte
with Ali Paella is greatly doubted. The whole
report appears to have been circulated by a certain
mercantile house.

1.01113011,
MONDAY, AUGUST 211.

We have suppressed the most indelicate of the
Evidence given by the first Witness against the
Queen, but have given enough of that and his
cross-examination to convince our relidera what sort
of a witness was relied upon as a chief support of
this persecution. It was reported on Tuesday that he
had been committed by the House of Lords to New.
gate, to be tried for perjury ; we regret to say that
we cannot yet congratulate the friends of justice,
truth, and honesty, on this being the fact. After
such a sample we presume the House of Lords will
reject the Ilia with indignation, and inunediately in
justice to the Queen address his Majesty, calling
upon him to grant her an establishment suitable to
her rank. Perhaps, however, there may be some
other mode of persecution in embryo which may be
matured on the failure of the present proceedings.
Every hour of the trial, hitherto has given fresh
evidence how slow people ought to he in giving cre-
dit to ex-parte statements, and tales of general slan-
der. Who could not have believed, from the general
complexion of Mojocci's evidence, that the man was
a perfect stranger to England, imported only for the
sake of justice, to assist in eliciting truths which
otherwise could not be got at? Who could have
thought that this witness had for some time been in
the service of a gentleman at Glocester, a:el had
declared to many, that the Princess of Wales was
" a most excellent woman—a good woman."—lt is
true, that he seemed to wish to avoid particulars
respecting what he might have said at Glocester, by
his usual answer, "Non mi ricordo." But it hap.
penis very fortunately, that for the proof of what this
iired witness did say, her Majesty's Counsel will
not need send to Italy; and the evidence will not I
be attended with any "non mi ricordo," but, on the
contrary, will cempletely supply Majecci's want of
memory.
It has been observed ly finny, that the most
unforeseen accidents and chances ofteu occur to elu-
cidate facts which otherwise might remain inscrut-
able. We are not of the number of those who be-
lieve in chance : we consider such occurrences as
Divine interpositions for the defence and justification
of innocence—fir the exposure, if not always the
punishment, of conspiracy and crimes.
It must have struck most people as rather singular
that Majocci, when again brittght before the I louse,
should have been so eager to volunteer a declaration,
through the Interpreter. " that he was ready to lay
down his life in that place if his former testimony is
not correct !" What cenid pat this in his head?—
Had conscience enabled him to anticipate the possi.
bility of forthcoming of ENGLISII IVIINESSES tO
invalidate his testimony ? And, if so, could he thiak
it possible that this volunteer boasting would weigh
a feather against their unbought evidence !
It is also a curious fact, when speaking of un-
bought evidence, that the Mate of the vessel is to
be paid 800 dollars a month, besides being still
entitled to his one.fourth of all profits arising front
freightage of the vessel during his absence. The
Captain is to be paid 1,000 dollars—a greater sum
than he was paid for the hire of the whole vessel,
while .in the service of the Queen, including his
own pay, the pay of the Mate, and the pay and
maintenance of' the whole etew !—The stint livid by
the Princess of Wales liar the !lice et' :Lc whale
vessel, Captain, Mate, and crew—twt.•!•!y-finir fouls
to all--was only Lemuel seven and eight huothseel
dollars per month!!
