THE WITNESSES.

(From the lattrassi de Anal.
On the 20th instant, M. Tutlon, Police Officer, of ,
the Police Office, Bow•street, London, arrived at
Calais, under the name of Hereuk Samuel. He set
out immediately for Boulogne, in order to provide
lodgings for thirty-two witnesses, who have been
heard in the process,,sgainst the Queen of England.
IThey were expected at Boulogne, having set out from
London on the night of the 20th, in an English cor-
vette. h appears that the Head of the Alien Office,
and six Police Officers, accompany them.
The day before there also arrived at Calais one of
the heads (Chefs du Bureau) of Lord Castlereagh's
Office, with Barbara Krantz, and her sisters.—
The Chcfdar Bureau returned to England ; the two
others set off for Strasburg. Mademoiselle De
Mont who arrived the same day, has, it is said, set
out for Paris. '
[Our Readers must make what they can of the
above Notice, which we give as we find it. The
Parisian Editors make such havoc with our proper
names, that it is often difficult to know who or what
they mean].

A letter from Trincomalee states, that the inhospi.
table clime of Ceylon continues to make victims of
the Europeans—and must continue to do so. The
harbour is fine, but as it is invested by mountains,
which naturally produce valleys, these are overspread
with a thick impenetrable jungle; in the rainy seasons
the torrents rush down the mountains, the rivers over-
flow and form a surface of water, which, on the return
of warm weather, changes its appearance, and be-
comes a swamp. The North-East breeze carries the
obnoxious vapours (proceeding from vegetable pu-
tridity) inland ; but having the land breezes during
the nights of February, March, and April, the chilling
blasts, pass over Trincomalee until sun-rise, when it 1
becp*pes Cahn and: the miasma hangs until the N.E.
breeze again drives it into the swamps, whence, in a
renovated state, it returns again to Trincomalee, the
same night, and the result is soon and severely felt.
It is calculated that it would take a thousand men
upwards of twenty years to cleir even a space of two
miles of this jungle. A considerable reduction has
been made in the Dock-yard Establishment since the
arrival of Commissioner UPTON. It was stated that

Haulm BLACEwoon had formed a very unfavour-
able opinion of Trincomalee as a Nasal station.

Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, the Duke 1
of You left town for Suffolk.
Wednesday, the Duke of CLARINCE left-town for
Bagshot, on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCESTICR.
Yesterday, the Duchess of CLARZSCE went to the
King's Palace, Kensington, -tee-meet the Duchess of
KIN T, who arrived there from Clare Mont.
The Earl of Lorranat.r., baying recovered from his
indisposition, yesterday paid his respects to the Ktwo,
at his Palace in Pall-Mall.

The dress of her Matiurr going to St. Paul's, on
Wednesday, was a rich white velvet, lined throughout
with real ermine, faced and cuffs of ermine. On her
breast were three rows of rich gold-embroidery, with
frogs, tassels, Stc. in the centre, and also at each side.
Her head-dress was a rich cap (called a tope), is
form of a turban, and over her head a veil of Eng-
lish manufactured lace, in imitation of Brussels.

We regret to state, that the .lives of eight of our
fellow-ereattuvs are to be sacrlced
ie to the offended
law; of their country, on Tuesday xt. Four of them,
among whom is a female, and she a very respectable
looking woman, for uttering forged Bank-notes.
We.cannot but reiterate our surprise and egret, that
the valence of this crime is not attempted to be
' checked by some impediment to the present facility
of its execution. Surely the hearts of the Bank Di-
rectors are formed like those of other men ; and if
so, they must be dreadfully shocked at these repeated
sacrifices ; and yet we know not where else to look
for a preventive remedy.
