LAMB, DATED FOREIGN OFFICE, OCTOBER 5, 1820,
Foreign Office, Oct. stll,
Sin---I. am to acquaint you that the Queen's
Law Servant's. haVe this day represented-to the
Hottie of Peers, 'that the Baron d'Ende, a Cham-
berlain in the service -of the',Grand Duke Of Ba-,
den, and Who was assigned to attend hpoh her
. Majestrwhen Princess of Wales, - ddring the pe-
riod of her VisitAo Carisrhue in the year
.1817, is
a material witness for the Queen's defence :•--:-
•that the Baron had actually consented (subject
to the permission of -his Royal Highness the;
Grand Duke) to' give his, .Personal attendance ih
London for this purpose ; but that upon his
Royal Highness the Grand Duke's late return to
Carlsrhue, this consent (as the Queen's, agent,
Mr. Leman; has deposed). was, upon the
.part of
the Grand Duke, distinctlY refused ; and. the
Baron alleged this refusal to Mr. Leman as .the
sole cause of his not giving his attendance in
this country. Had the Queen's Law Agents ap-
plied in due time to his Majesty's Government,
it would, under the express, orders- whiCh they
had received at: the outset of. -these proceedings
from his Majesty, and which in every • instance
pointed out by the Queen's agents, they have:'
uniformly and faithfully endeavoured to carry'
into effect, have been their duty to .have addres`S-
ed a request on. the part of the King,' their Mas-
ter, to the Grand Duke, to Want the attend-
ance' of this Gentleman before the House of
Peers, for the furtherance of justice. .
The Legal Advisers of the Queen haVing
presented that. they still continue to-regard the
presence of this individual asoi' importance -to
her Majesty's defence, and his Majesty being so-
licitous; with the least possible delay, to give ,
effect to their wishes, I have received the King's
commands to direct you will, without loss of
time, on receipt of this dispatch, proceed to
Carlsrithe, for the purpose of giving, by your
personal representations and exertions, the ut-
most possible weight to the request which, in the.
liing's.name, you are authorized to make to the
Grand Duke upon this matter. •
The British Government are. fully sensible of
the respect due to the law and practice of inde-
pendent States, with regard to the means which
the Sovereign Poser -may either :be enabled, or
think fit to employ, for the purposes of inducing,
permitting, or compelling its subjects to appear;
in order to, give evidence; before the tribunals of
a foreign state ; but- they are persuaded, • that
whatever may: be. the rule hich the Grand Duke
of 13aden may think.--..fit to:lay down on such mat-
ters, his Royal Highness's sense of justice will
suffer the benefit or the iuconvettlence of such
rule to operate equally and _with perfect impar-
tiality, ott the side of the-defence, as well as of-
the charge. Now, as it appears, by the evidence
of Barbara Kress; that she was . not .only, per-
mitted, but in some meastire required, to give
her attendance upon these . proceedings in 'sup:.
port of the Bill, at the. instance of the Attorney-
General, no doubt can be entertained that, when
you shall have brought the different course
which is stated to have been pursued in the case
of the Baron::d'Ende, under'the Grand Duke's
notice, his Royal.)-lighness will. at . once, what-
ever may- be the,femporary inconvenience .to his
Royal Ifigiineses,.personal service', give orderS,
for the Baron?.s being permitted instantly to set
out for this 'country, and in. the present advanced
stage of the proceedings, you will consider it
• your duty to press that this Gentleman's depar,
ture and journey may be as • much as -possible
accelerated.• :
. I should hope that the simple statement of this
case will be sufficient to give effect to the object
with which you are charged, -but ip the event of
any obAacle being interposed, you will make a
written representation on the-part of your Court;
pressing this request for the Grand Duke's fa-
vourable consideration as indisputably due to
public justice, under the pecnliar circumstances
above referred to.---I am, etc.

NOTE FROM MR. LAMB TO THE BARON BT:RSTETT,
DATen cmiLsnnor; ocroaßß 11, ISM
The Undersigned, &c. ,has learnt with regret
that the arguments 'Which he trad the honour to
allege this morning in • conversation with your
Excellency, have been insufficient to induce the
Government of Baden to permit t,4 Baron
d'Ende, Chamberlain of his Royal Highness the
Grand Duke, to proceed to London.
Under,these circumstances it becomes the duty
of the undersigned to fulfil the further instruc-
tions of his
Government, by representing officially
to your Excellency the reasons which induce
however retuctantly, to renew a demand which
has not met with the concurrence of the Court of
Baden: •
The 'British Government is fully sensible of

, .
the respect 'due to the "layir,..add pra:clice Of ,I* I:7P r
States ; it tUltYaPpreCi6legThe iepognaiice.,:v4i4:l4

Excellency, thatupon a,preVious occasion, When
h 4 hadrecioested the attendance :of a.coorier.iif
the Court as a _witness agaiiistithe Qiieen..,,-ble
readily desisted.ftom:the' application„-as :soon as

deterna-ination of his 'Royal;llighne,es iiPon this
subject:.lf he now *porkies a different course, it
must be 'attributed to the difference .of the, cir-
cumstances... . . ' . .. • .

The witile'ss in queition is represented to be
essential to the deTence of the Queen,. The rights
of hospitality will not. Ye-violated by,.kis appear:-
mice ; on the contrary, these seem to require.,thit
the' Grand Dube should contribute to the_iiridi-
cation of the guest olhis COurt.
The permission which is demanded is still
more essential to the character of the British
Government.

With whatever good faith it may act, it will
not escape the attacks or malevolence, unless
its demand'!s granted anti your Excellency will
not haVe failed to remark, that in this afrair it
is not sufficient to act with the most perfect pill.
rity and good faith, it is alsO necessary, that these
should be made undeniably evident to the eyes
of the whOle world.
The. undersigned trusts
,that these considera-
tions may be of weight enough to induce- „the
Government of l3adeu to change its present de
termination. . -

Its own character for impartiality; and that of
he British Government for security and good
'aid), are equally,at stake,. ,

The magnitude of these interests must justify

which I had the honoitr 'to hold with you on the:‘.

'to correct a Most Malerial Mistake which appears
to have crept into our.cominunications. -
The object of the proposition made to me vOr-
balljr by your Excellency appealed to nte to lie,
that the Grand Duke, my august. Master, should
give to Baron d'Ende not only his permissiO*94-.
but. his 'orders to prOceed io England'; to iVldc,ll
had the honour to reinalli, that Lknew too well
the ;lima determination Of his Royal IlighneSi,
never`to take part-diieetly in any thirig'whith
might relate to the solemn proceeding at this

me-before the 'Tribunal of tfie -House of 'Peers.

in England, to dare to propose to him to giVean'y
.such .Orders to a "person belonging to his Couit.
Your Excellency wHI recollect that when, soave
time' ago,--you requested one AO-obtain peftkiis4on
for .one of the Couriers of the Court to proceed.
to England as a witness against the Queen, I Was
under the necessity of declaring -to yOu'; that J.
could never obtain any such permissidn from his
Roya 1 •iliglineS....
- • -
If-any agents of,tbe British uovtrnment have
succeeded in inducing subjects of --the-'Graild'
Duke to proceed OT their own accord, to.. Eng::
land, 4 have'toremark to your Excellency;; that
this could never have occurred, except in. the case
of -priVateindividuals,-not being in-'the service-of
the Court; 'or In any .official situation, urid tici
whom nothing but a passport from the
.Police
requisite to enable them fo proceed wherever
they
:,might wish, WithoULthe Government Oki;
having to take notice of such a circumstance.
I -hope: that, your Excellency will finet_in Iris ,
exposition of facts-relating to the object of your
mission, the most convincing proofs of tbe:.
partiality and justice which have guitled,
will ever guide, the conduct of my .Governtra!tit
ou,this subject. But as your Excellencyls neVet4
theless pleased to.'persist in your demand, that,
Baron d'Ende should at least not be Pieyented
by,a,tefusal leave of,absence, from Proceediat,

dertake.- this journey ; and ,as.your
assures` Me that this witness is deemed to be-ees.e.
sential l'o..the defence of her Majesty the'.Queeti,"
his itoyalilighness*--has, ordered me to 'address-.
immediately to the Baron d'Ende the -.letter, 4. -
copy of- which ,;s .annexed, by which that C'rett,',.
Unman is left•entirely at liberty to act according
to his -Own wishes:

If Baron d'Ende's reply, whiCh I transmit bt
original.. to 'your Excellency; does not -answer
your expectations, your .Excellency 'will at least
see by this last step, taken by my. Ma'ster's or-
ders, that his Royal Highness,. faithful to.. th,t
principles he has laid down; has had no wish to

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY.

THE QUEEN.

This morning
.the Call of the lious4 was over
at a quarter past ten o'clock.

SECRET. CONIMITTEE.

The Earl of II A ILROWB Y, with the otherMum-
bers of the Committee who were appointed to
investigate the papers which were delivered in
on Saturday last, and also to examine Mr. Powell
as. to the points connected with them, now en-
tered the House, when the Noble Earl delivered
in their Report, which was immediately Teed by
the' junior Clerk of the House. It stated, in
effect, that the Lords to whom it had been re-
ferred to inspect and verify certain sealed papers„'
and also to 'examine John Allan Powell, Esq.
touching the same, had agreed to this Report.
The Committee had Mr. Powell before them,
who stated the contents of the wholeTorrespond-
ence on the absence of Rastelli. The Corn.'
mittee then proceeded to verify the lame, and
also to compare the extracts of letlvrs with the
Originals, which eXtended from before the 124th
of September till after .the period that • Rastelli
was to have returned ,back. It appeared from
the letters of Colonel Brown, that an excessive
alarm had arisen at Milian by reports not only
of the maltreatment, but even of the murder of
the 'witnesses who had repaired to this country as
witnesses for the Bill ; and it was strongly•urged
by Colonel Brown, in letters `of the 10th, 18th,
and 24th July last, and again on 'the 4th
of August last, that the alarm of the rela-
tions of the." witnesses had much increased
, in consequence of no letters having been received
by them ; after this, similar reports were received
from Colonel Brown,_who stated it was absolutely
necessary to send buck one of the witnesses as
a Courier, if 'it could be done in no otlier way,
for that it was reported and believed by their
families that Rastelli had hist an eye, occasioned
by his reception' on landing here, and also that
Sacchi had- been murdered ; and the terror these
reports had produced was so extreme is to de- I
ter other witnesses from coming over. The Com-
mittee ,had confined their inquiry to thig point,
respecting Mr. •Powell's sending Rasfelli to
Milan, and. conceived they had no right to pro-
duce such Papers as might affect in other points
the important Inquiry now before the House.
Extracts from these Papers were subjoined to the•
Report. •
, It appeared that certain papers had; been sent
by RaStelli to be Verified at Milan, but that it
was directed he shduld return back, whether
done or undone, by the 3d of the present month.
Rastelli had, however, been taken sick, and corn-
plaited -that he was heartily tired of the manner
in which the witnesses were confined here. Ras.;
telli was still confined to his bed on the'2d inst.
Mr.-Powell then =wrote Again to Colonel Brown,
complaining :of Rastelli's not having returned,
and added, that he was commanded by the At-
torney-General to order his return here without
loss of time. Another letter from Col. Brown,
dated the 3d inst., still stated that-Rastelli was
' seriously ill, having a bad fever, whiCh he attri-
buted to his vomiting of blood during his passage
over the water : he remained in the same
condi-
tion on the 4th, as appeared by another letter
from Col. Brown, who.stated that he had got the
jaundice, and hat a horror of going by sea, and
• that he could not without imminent danger be,
expected to be able to undertalie•a journey of
' any kind in less than three weeks.

The Earl of H.utRoWBY then moved, that the
Report should be printed for' the use of the
House, which motion was agreed to.
The Bail of LAUDERDALE then movecl,that the
Papers which had been examined by the Secret
Committee, should be now sealed up and return-
ed by their Lordships' order.
.At half-past ten the Counsel were called to.
the Ear, when Mr. BitouOnAin said, he wished
Mademoiselle Dumont to be now called back. '
The So LI CITOR,-GEN ERAL said, the witness
had been directed to attend as soon as possible
this day.
After a little time, Mademoiselle- Dumont not
appearing,
The SOLICITOR-GENEitA L said, it might be
better for their Lordships to go on, as from
What he understood now, he was afraid that there
was some mistake. Mr. Maule, it appeared, had
given' Mademoiselle Dumont to suppose that her
attendance would not be required' till twelve
o'clock.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL here Observed, that
she should 'be again seat for.
