'he letters written by Baron OMPTEDA to the
Director of Police at Pesaro, which the House of
Lords refused to receive as evidence on Monday
lust, have beer► published, and will be found in
another part of this Paper. These letters ■re ma-
nifestly addressed to one who *as !previously aware
of the machinations devised, and then in coarse of
operation against the Princess of WALLS, and
consequently they could not be expected to contain
a full and perfect avowal of the writer's winding ;
but they contain enough to shew by ready infer-
ences the character of the negocistion which the
Baron introsts to his worthy friend and fellow-cm,.
'Orator. The Baron evidently, according to a fir-
unbar phrase, " knew his man well." He was
" convinced" of his " amiable complaisance," of
which it seems he had already given " decisive
proofs ;" and, therefore, lie was not deterred by
the official situation of the man from employing
I as his instrument, in corrupting the integrity
of the Princess of WALES' servant. His first wish
is, that a letter from Louise DEIIONT to her sister
MARIETTE, who ►till continued in the service of
her Royal Highness, should be privately delivered,
and by the bands of souse trusty agent, who should
induce NIARIETTE to confide her answer to him.
The Baron, it seems, dreaded lest the letter should
fall into the hands of the Princess of iNALEa, " of
some of her confidants." This apprehension skews
the character and object of the letter, and im-
portant no doubt it must have been, as it required
a Minister of the Kingdom of Hanover, and • con-
fidential officer of the police of the Papal Govern-
ment, to unite their power and talents to have
it conveyed safely to its destination ! Wlso can
doubt that this letter conveyed an elucidation
of the hints contained in the letter produced dur-
ing the trial, sod p►inted out Kith what facility
a fortune might be made by " bearing false wit-
ness" against her Mistress ? LOUISE MINUET, as
the writer of such a letter to her sister, must be con-
sidered in the light of one of the original conspira-
tors against the character of the QUEEN, being
joined with OMPTEDA and the Chevalier fluent in
this instance in endeavouring to persuade MARIETTA
to follow her example, and by the same means
make " • splendid fortune in England." This
circumstance alone ought to be sufficient to taint
het whole evidence, 'even if it bad not b►eu destroy-
ed previously by its own inconsistencies, or tl►e con-
tradictory testimony of Sir WILLIAM GELL, Mr.
KEPPEL CitAtate, uud others.

The Baron desires his agent to promise upon the
mignapecting Princess. and induce her to embark
at Pesaro, by trying 14 to persuade her that it was
absolutely- false that the English Gentlemen pro.
pose to come end find her at Prsato."—" I learn."
adds the Minister of Hanover, 'I that this supposi.
tion induces her to delay her departure. and in this
manner she might wait • long time." It seems
that the delay of the Princess at was is some
degree inconvenient to these misonsats
