" As so Much has been 'stated in the -foreign
Papers of the repeated solicitations made by the
QUEEN of ENGLAND and her Counsel to prevail
on Baron D'ENDE to go to England ms a witness
in favour of the QUEEN, and as the Baron's refu-
sal has been put in a false light, it may-not be
uninteresting at this•time for the public to learn
in what way these persecutioris_ceased.. Mr. Si-
card, the Queen's Steward, Was sent frornLondon
on the 9th of October,- with letters to Baron
D'Ende from the Queen and her Attorney, Mr.
Vizard; The following is .the answer sent by
the Baron to the latter Gentleman, the authenti-
city of 'which may be reliedfon, although they
did not think fit to communicake it to Parliathent
or to the Public
" SraYour letter of the 7th Oct. was deli-
vered to me by M. Sicard, and I think proper to
inform you, that the difficulties which might have
existed in consequence of my duties here, no
longer remained, having received permiSsion of
H. S. H. the Grand Duke. Mr. Lamb; the Bri-
tish Minister.atFrankfurth, came here, by cutler
of his Government, in order to remove any-dbtta-
cola which there might be to prevent my going to
England, as a witness in favour of-the Queen.—
11. S. H.. the Grand Duke said, I might act as I
thought proper, that neither leafit bf absence nor
a passport_ should be refused-14:7'24 might have
declined -coming on tte'SCore- Of health, which
was then.'much impaired't bat,-,Sir, had I even
been inclined to sacrifice tayhealth to oblige the
Queen,-=it. would have been. impossible for me to.
go at present, as I found,inMr,.:*ougham's de-
fence for the Queen a paSsagi Which revolted
me, Mr. Brougham had the.presumption to say--:.
There' was also .a Grand Duke mentioned by
BarbaraKrantz, who.was at the place where the
scene was alleged, to.have.taken place; who was
equally active and inscrupulous as any of the•othee
agents. •
" You must know, Sir, the force of attachment
of every gentleman to him, to whom he has de-
voted his service ; you may then readily conceive
how I was chagrined to find the memory of a So-
. vereign attacked, to whom I Was entirely devoted
and attached, and who was not only my Master,
but who conferred the greatest obligations on me.
I should therefore consider it as an insult to the
memory of the late Grand Duke, and should-.for
ever reproach myself, if I. could lenthmyself to a
cause in which his character has been so black-
ened. Besides, Sir, nothing: that I have to say
can be of any use for the Queen's def,ence, as is
generally supposed. .

" BARON DiNDE,
"Principal Chamberlain io his Highness the Grand Duke."
'V Why was this Etter withheld from the House of Lords?
Mr. Leman, the; Clerk of. Mr. Vizaid, was called by. Mr.
Brougham, who swore "that the Baron regretted, with tears
in his eyes, that he could not conic to England." I think the
public here and abroad will sooner believe the Baron than
the lawyer's clerk.—Ed. of Brit. Mon.

THE THEATRE.—Mr. HORN, who appeared
this season at Covent Garden Theatre, and was
thought to be engaged there, on Saturday last
transferred his talents to_Drury-lane. The play,
was Guy Mannering, and he appeared in the cha-
racter ot.Henrg Bertram,. He was well received,
and has evidently_devoted much study on his mu-
sical powers, as well as on his acting, in which
he is much more free and easy. RUSSELL was
the _ Dominie Sainpson, which part he at least
rendered effective, The rest of the characters
were well supported by Miss PovEY, Mrs.
BLAND, Mo.. EGERTON, &C.

COURT OF SESSlON.—Tuesday morning, their
Lordships the Jaudges of the Court of Session, the
Lord Advocate, and the Solicitor-Geperal, break-
fasted, as is customary, with the Ltird President,
in his chambers, in Hill-street, and thence pro-
ceeded in their carriages to the Parliament House,
to open the Session for the winter. Their Lord-
ships were all itreseut except Lord Robertson.—
(Edinburgh Courant, N0r.'16.)

OtrniGEs.—ln Bath, Grantham, and several
other places, in consequence of ' the excesses of
the, populace in attacking the houses of indivi-
duals who refused to illuminate, it was found
necessary to read the Riot Act, and call out the
military. These measures had the desired effect
in restoring tranquillity. At Bath about forty of
the most violent of the marauders were taken
into custody, and four at Stamford.

ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Among the .curious dis-
coveries made, by Captain PARRY, in . his late
Arctic Expedition, was an American. musk ox,
on Melville Island, the principal of the groupe
of islands .in a cove. of-which this enterprising
navigator wintered, in 1819. This animal has a
large head. and shaggy mane, resembling the
lion. It was the only one,.of the species seen
.during. the stay of the E4pedition afthat
A white hare was the only other four-footed ani-
mal which was met with. It 'was found upon,
another island. Partridges were -seen in._ great
numbers, and' the newly-discovered. islands also
abounded with florescent plants •of ; different un-
known species. • The huts, of which some ves-
tiges• remain, are presumed to have belonged to
some Esquimauxy whom chance or enterprise
may have carried into,these inhospitable regions

Mr. YOUNG and Miss STEPHENg are both en-
gaged at the Bath Theatre, to appear alter-
nately fora limited number of nights.
CHATTERLY, of the English Opera-house, is
engaged for live nights at Birmingham, where he
was to appear for -the first - time, on Saturday
evening last, in Bail& NicolJareie,an4 in Lingo,
in the Agreeable Surprize.
Mr. POWELL, in going to perform his duty, the
other evening, at Drury-lane Theatre, was hus-
tled at the corner of Great Russell-street, and
robbed of about four pounds : and in the morn-
...lig of the same day, Mr. JOHN KEI4IO.E„ had his
pocket picked of a valuable snuff-boy, as he was
passing through the piazza, in Covelit,garden7
