Friday morning the Duchess de Berri vent out for
the first time since het accouaentent, to Rosny, for
the purpose of laying the first stone of a Chapel
whieh is to be erected, and in which will be deposited
the heart of her august husband. Het Royal High•
ness intends, likewise, to found an hospital for the
unfortunate, on the plan of the one instituted by the
Duchess of Bourbon Conde, and which is to bear the
name of the Prince her infant son.

The Monkey,- of Friday announces, that the De.
putation of Spanish Merchants resident in London,
who had voted to Generals Quiroga awl Riego, two
swords splendidly mounted, as a token- of esteem,
save arrived in kiwis, and are about to proceed to
Spain, to present the object of their mission to the
above-named Officers.

The States of Saxony assembled on the 15th nit.
The King received them, seated on his Throne, and
caused one of his Ministers to read an Expose of the
state of the kingdom. A Councillor of State then
'read a paper, containing the heads of the different
subjects to be submitted to their consideration in the
present Sessjon. The paper having been delivered
141 to the Ma 7: bal of the Diet, he addressed his Majesty
in a s h suited to the occasion ; after which his
Majest retired. Sasony, notwithstanding the loss
of a considerable part of its former territory and re-
sources, is represented to be in a flourishing condition,
from the economy of its Government, and its judicious
system of financial and commercial regulations.
According to advices from Constantinople of the
Ist ult. Ali Pacha, instead of 400. soldiers, had with
him in Tepleni, the Citadel of Jannina, 1500, whom
he had attached to him by large sums of money, and
who continued to make a vigorous resistance to the
Turks. The latter are said to have been repulsed in
an assault upon the fortress of Benat. The Turkish
Pacha had expelled the inhabitants of Jannina from
their houses, in order to find more commodious quar-
ters for his troops. The town was daily suffering from
the fire of Tepleni. A considerable part of it had been
previously destroyed, in consequence of Ali Pacha
having set fire to his Palaces, on his retiring into.
the Citadel.

From Madrid it is stated, that the Committee of
the Cortes, appointed to report on the Remonstrance
of the Minister-General of the Capuchins, have de-
clared it to be subversive of the principles of social
order, seditious, injurious to Religion, and highly
criminal, inasmuch as it threatens the existence of the
Congress itself. The Commission suggested the pro-
priety of summoning to the Bar the Prelate who sub-
scribed the Remonstrance, unless the Cortes should
deem it more advisable to refer the matter to the Go-

vernment, in order that the necessary measures may
be adopted for the punishment of the delinquent.
The 5 per Cents. on Friday rose to 76 f. 35 c. but
left off at 20 cents. under that price. The cause of
the recent rise in the French Funds is stated in pri-
vate letters to be the postponement of the sale of the
12,000,000 reserved rentes for one year; and the con-
siderable transfer of Stock from the English to the
French Funds, for the purchase, it is said, of real pro-
perty in the vicinity of Paris.

The QUEEN came to town yesterday in State. Her
MAJESTY, after having entered the gate at Hyde
Park-corner, passed down Constitution-hill into St.
James's Park, out through the Stable-yard into Pall-
Mall, and so round by Charing-cross and Whitehall
to the House of Lords, where she arrived a few mi-
nutes before one o'clock. She was received by Sir
T. TYRMIIITT, and immediately proceeded to Iter
private apartment. Lady ANNE HAMILTON, and the
Honourable KEPPEL CRAVEN, were the Lady, and
Vice-Chamberlain, in attendance. Her MAJESTY
retired at ten minutes before three, and drove imme-
diately to South Audley-street, where she honoured
Mr. Alderman WOOD with a visit. Her MAJESTY
remained nearly half an hour with the worthy .
Alderman, and a great crowd of people assembled
about the house during her stay, -who greeted her
MAJESTY with repeated cheers as she agoun tOok her
seat in the carriage. Her MAJESTY afterwards en-
tered Hyde Park by Grosvenor-gate, and proceeded,
at once to Brandenburgh House.
Answer to the Female Inhabitants of Leitholm:

is I cordially thank the Female Inhabitants of Leithohn for
this very loyal and affectionate Address. I am consoled by the
sympathy which they express for the sad vicissitudes Which I
have experienced, and the many losses I have sustained. The
long series of calamities to which I have been exposed has ra-
ther increased than diminished my trust in that overruling Pao-
VIDINCE which is perpetually extracting good out of evil, and
making those events which are at this time most adverse to our
wishes, most conducive to our lasting benefit."

Answer to the Labourers, etc. of Camberwell:

" I am unfeignedly obliged by this loyal and affect's:nets Ad-
dress from the Journeymen Mechanics, Labourers in Agtidol-
ture and Horticulture, resident in the Parish of CambervrelL
The true criterion of value in the complex relations of social life
is usefulness. When the industrious classes are viewed in the
dear mirror of usefulness, they will be seen to be elevated far
above many of those by whom they are regarded at beings of an
inferior species. Poverty itself can be no disgrace where it is
not the effect of vice, but is merely that state of circumstances
in which a man happens to be born. To be born poor is no mare
humiliating than it is simply ti be born. The Manaus./ hats
for the wisest purposes, and with the most benevolent views,
willed a great diversity of circumstances amongst men. He has
willed both rich and poor; but he has not willed that the rick
should oppress the poor : be has not willed the elevation of gee
at the expense of the others : he has not willed that one part of
society should be tyrants and the other slain. Hence he willed
all men to be free ; for, where rights are not equal, and free-
dom not general, one part of society must toil for the belle& of
the rest, rather than for its own. All men can sever be equal.
in circumstances • but yet where liberty prevails, and zuz
Lpresaion practised, .happiness may be equally or nearly
diffused."

DRURY-LANs THRATRE.--Mr. COOPRR appeared
last night in the character of Roams Glenrey, in the
Comedy of Town and Country, and powerfully added
to the favourable impression Which his Romeo had
produced. His performance throughout was most
effective, and the loudest applause rewarded his
exertions. Mrs. W. Wear gave an unusual degree
of importance to the part of Abs. Glefusty, and the
whole Play went off to the complete satisfaction of
a numerous and fashionable audience.

Cosa EICEAPIII, Miiissi-Larm, Nov. B.—The price of Flour
having been lowered Se. per sack at the close of Monday's mar-
ket, occasioned very heavy sale for Wheat this morning, of
which article a considerable quantity remained over from Mon.
day's supply; aad, although an abatement of 2s. per quarter
would have bees submitted to, scarcely any could be disposed
of, except a few picked samples, at the above decline. Fine
Barley Is. per quarter lower than at that' early part of Monday's
market, the supply being tolerably large; and the inferior sun-
plea are 2s. cheaper. Oats were dull sale, and Is. per quarter
lower. In Peas and Beans there hypo altentios:

NAPLES, OCTOBER 10.

(Extract of a Private Letter.)
" I should make no apology for writing to you, as
My regard for you, and your natural: kindness, would
require none; nor am I going to furnish you with
the- adventures of Andrew Selkirk, or a sequel to
Mungo Parke's Itinerary. The object of my writing
to you is, in truth, that the purport of this letter may
be conveyed to —, without the chance of inter-
ception ; for the villainy of all post conveyance
through Italy is such, that I verily believe I might
buy a letter, however addressed, at any one of the
Post-offices from Naples to Piedmont. Twice have I
written to him, from this place, relative to the affairs
of the Queen, before the trial actually commenced,
but have received no answer whatever, even in the
shape of an acknowledgment. But as I do not choose
to ascribe this to. anything like a self-elevation, on
the part of a man whom I have ever been led to
esteem as one of the last of the Romans, I am more
inclined to impute it to some of that watching and
walking espionnage that pervades every department
now of our Foreign Offices—and that my letters
have, most probably, fallen into the hands of the
Milan Commissioners, or their spies. I therefore
seek, through you, that which I am sure will prove
a safe and independent channel of information to him
of some matters that have but just occurred, though
I am afraid too late, in this business of the Queen ;
and which I hasten to request you will lay before
him, precisely as I now give it to you.
" The vessel called the Adamo, which was for-
merly the vessel in which she made her excursions to
Africa and Greece, has just arrived here. Being on
the watch, as a professed champion in
.her cause,
and from the conviction, through my own know-
ledge, that she has been most shamefully belied, as
well as to counteract the active enmity of certain emit-
saries, in furnishing charges against her, I this morn-
ing went on board, with a most respectable Gentle-
man, as an interpreter, for the express purpose of -4n
ocular inspection of this notable polacca, and also
for ascertaining from the crew on board what was
the real impression on their minds, as well as the
conclusions they had niade, on the conduct of her
Majesty. I first began by declaring that I had come
there with no other view but to ascertain the truth,
and promote the undisguised cause of justice; and,
whether their evidence would be in favour of or
agamst the Queen, it would be equally my desire to
have it honestly. Upon this declaration, the men
to whom I addressed myself seemed extremely Sill--
prised; and declared most emphatically, 'that every
sailor who had been, or still was on board that ves-
could have nothing to say against the Queen ;
and that whoever attempted to calumniate he:, as
far as regarded her behaviour on board that vessel,
was not worthy of belief.' This voluntary burst of
disinterested testimony, in the very outset, quite sur-
prised me, and immediately opened my eyes to the
more than suspected character of the evidence that
bad been already given before the Lords, by the Pilot
and the Master of the same vessel. 1 asked to see
such sailors as had sailed in the ship during the
Queen's excursion only : the answer was, that Sir
William A-Court had immediately, on the vessel's
arrival, had them all on shore, and bad just sent off
four (whose names are in the margin) for Milan,
there to be received by a friend of the Queen's, who
would tell them whether they ought to proceed to
England or not ; for they had distinctly understood
"that both the Captain and Pilot before-mentioned
had left Naples as witnesses in the Queen's favour,
and lama nut believe, on any account, that they had
given evidence against her. They positively, there-
fore, asserted, that.the four witnesses now sent were
going on her behalf, and could not imagine that
there could be any trick or delusion in getting them
to Milan. Besides this, they stated, without any sort
of reserve, that. Sir William A'Court, in order to in-
duce them to go, gave each of them a present of
money in hand, according to the sums placed oppo-
site their names, exclusive of all expenses and charges
of their journey, and with an assurance that, if they
were forwarded by her agent at Milan to England,
they would be abundantly rewarded! This they all
verified with one voice, declaring they had it from
their four comrades, in whose hands they saw the
Money- yesterday, at noon, before they set off.—
Three of those remaining here still, were also of the
crew when the Queen was on board, who state there
ire about ten more of them on hoard another vessel
daily expected in this port: all of them are ready to
attest, that not a single cause for reproach or sus-
picion attached to her conduct while she was a pas-
senger; and that, as to the story of the kissing and
dalliance on the gun with Bergami, it is a falsehood,
and entire fabrication, which they will swear never
did happen in the sight of any of them.'
44 From this it Would appear, that the Queen's
cause and favour are used as tire means of decoy
in the first instance, until they come to the crucible
at Milan, and are converted by the notorious Com-
missioners. That a bribe, in the first instance, equal'
to more than a tweliemonth's wages, is put in the
palm, besides a frank of all cost and charges for
travelling, &c.—and that, when at Milan, the pro-
bation takes place of conscience and willingness in
the recruit, who is passed on to London, if found
fit for the service; but, if stubborn and heretical to
the creed of the Ministry sent back with all due cau-
tion and secrecy ; and this is what the advoecates and
partizans of the ItiA call the open, fair, and asy road!
`to impartial inquiry and honest judgment!
" As 1 have in vain looked for any agent, banker,
or assistant, here on the Queen's part, whom I might
apply to in helping me to send off these witnesses, so
material to the issue, and who would directly.con-
tradict the evidence of the Captain and Pilot (two of
the most reputed rascals of the port of Naples), I am
quite at a loss to decide what I should do. I would
not hesitate, at my own expense, to drive off with
them myself directly. But should Ibe yet in time?
1 would take and transmit their affidavits, but cui
bono? They could not be given in evidence. In
short, as 1 hurry over this on the spur of the mo-
ment, that not a moment may be lost in communi-
cating what has just come to my knowledge, I have
not time to reflect what ought to be done, but I shall

. -

certainly not suffer any selfish apprehension for my
own purse to check me in the pursuit of that which
I shall conclude to be necessary to the support of
the truth.. It is a greit stake, and must be played
promptly and resolutely.
- " The following are the names of the witnesses sent
,off on the 9th of October, from Naples, by Sir Wil-
lam A'Court :
Saverio Garciullo, Mate of the Adarno, now in
dock here - (present tla him) 300 dolhin.
Gaetano Garciullo, seaman - - 60
•
Antonio Castellano 60
Francesco Saverio Acampora - 60
The sailors who sailed with the Queen, left behind
in prudence possibly :
Giuseppe Paturzo, an old sailor, strongly in her favour.
Raffaelo Castellano.
Amello Maresca.
"With this I finish the subject, assuring you, my
honest friend, that, from what I have learnt and what
I-know, it is my conscientious belief that the whole
of these proceedings, founded in the supposition of
her weakness and helplessness, are alike malignant,
false, dirty, and disgraceful; and will be a stain on
the scutcheon of Old Britannia as long as her king-
dom survives. I have traced all, from Milan to Mes-
sina, therefore am not incompetent to form my own
epi
