is roguish* to enable *them toprneeed wherever they might wish,
without the Government ever having to take notice of aids a
circumstance.
" I hope that your Excellency will find in this exposition of:
facts relatint.to this object of your mission, the most convincing
proofs of the impartiality and justice which have guided, and
will ever guide, the conduct of any Government on this subject.
But as your Excellency is nevertheless pleased to persist in your
demand that Baron d'Ende should'at least n*be prevented by
a sefusal of leave of absence from proceeding to England, in the
event of his consenting to undertake this journey ; and as your
Excellency assures me, that this witness is deemed to be essential
to the defence of her Majesty the Queen, his Royal Highness
' has ordered me to address immediately to Baron d'Ende the let-
; ter, a copy of which is annexed, by which that Gentleman is left
entirely at liberty to act according to his own wishes.
• "If Baron d' Endes reply, which I transmit in original to
your Excellency, does not answer your expectations, your Et-
' cellency will at least see by this last step, taken by my master's
orders, that his Royal Highness, faithful to the principles he has
laid down, has had no wish to hinder Monsieur d'Ende from
acting on this occasion according to his own free-will.
" I beg your Excellency to accept the expressions of my high
consideration. (Signed) "The BARON DE BERSTETT.

" Bra—One of the Queen of England's Counsel having as-
serted in the House of Peers, that after receiving two letters,
written in her Majesty's own hand, with the view of inaucing
you to repair to England to give evidence in her favour, you
had, with tears in your eyes, refused to accept the invitation
given to you for that purpose by one of her Majesty's agents,
alleging that an express prohibition from your Sovereign ren-
dered it impossible for you to undertake such a journey,
" Mr. Lamb, bis Britannic Majesty's Plenipotentiary to the
Germanic Confederation, has, iu consequence, been directed by
his Government to proceed hither, hi order to take all necessary
steps for prevailing on his Royal Highness to remove the obsta-
cles which, it would seem, prevent your compliance with the re-
quest of her Majesty the Queen of. England.
" This Minister having acquainted me with the purport of
his mission, I have laid it before the Grand Duke, and his Royal
Highness has commanded me, Sir, Officially to I:114m you, that
you were perfectly at liberty to act, on the present occasion, as
you should think proper, and that, although his Royal Highness
would never, nor in any manner, idterfere in whatever might
Jclate to the procee•iings against the Queen of England, he,
nevertheless; was ready to give you leave, on your making such
a request, to proceed either to England, or to any other country
which you might wish to visit.

rected by the Grand Duke to request you will return a written
answer to the communication which I have the honour of ad-

CA RUMORS, OCTOBER 11, 1820.
MoBSitua LI BAROB—I have just received the letter which
your Excellency has done me the honour to address to me, and
by which you are so good as to inform me, that one of the
Counsel for her Majesty the Queen of England has complained
in the House Lords, that, after receiving two letters which
her Majesty had deigned to address to me, requesting my evi-
dence, I had refused to proceed to London, in consequence of a
prohibition on the part of my Sovereign ; that in consequence
of this statement, Mr. lamb, his Britannic Majesty's Minister
Plenipotentiary to the Germanic Confederation, has been in-
structed to repair hitherfotetherpiarpose of removing any obstacle
which mi Aserdfilfrtrelit deliarture; and that his Royal High-
ness,,akteUranel Du-ke hat instructed your Excellency to declare
krocirrit, -officially, that I am perfectly at liberty to follow my in-
clination, and that his Royal highness, upon my request, will
net refuse a lave of absence for proceeding to England.' • '
" I beg leave in the fir.t place. to be allowed to correct some
mistakes which appear to have crept into the allegations of her
Majesty's Counsel. I have only been honouted with one letter
from her Majeqy, i letter which has beetedelivered to me by
her agent, M. Leman, to which I have replied, that the nature
of my duties rendered it impossible far me to come to England,
in compliance with her Majesty's wishes. With respect to the
tears, with which I ant stated to have accompanied this refusal,
I am the more astonished, as my declaration was conveyed to
.M. Leman through one of my friends, who -undertook to com-
municate my determination to him upon. this subject.
" In consequence of the permission which your Excellency
has done me the honour to mit:sink to me in tirt name of his
Royal Highness the Grand Duke, the difficulty grounded on the.'
nature of my duties is overcome; I am extremely grieved that
it is, nevertheless, not in my power to conform to the wishes of
her Majesty the Queen. The state of my health is such', that
I could not undertake so long a journey without Ale greatest
danger, particularly at this moment,. when about tee undergoa
rigid course of medical treatment. Have the goodness, Sir, to
explain these circumstances to Mr. Lamb, and to convey to him
my regret at not being able to proceed to England.
" I avail myself of this occasion to offer to vita Excellency
' '•
the assurance of my highest consideration.
(Signed) " The BARON D'ENDE." •
