coptequence of our having published two
Irmo of the PRINCFSS of WALES. now QUEEN
woe of England, we have been favoured
101 l so extract of a letter from a confidential friend
goat peat Personage to a Gentleman in London,
"b. request to ObtAiN its insertion lents STATES-
gis, or sonic other paper. 'We vouch for
ix otheatioity, and that it was written at her in-

goiag read in The San, an English newspaper, a
N„ ot which is %ithout any foundation whatsoever, I
:solo will get some Independent paper to state the
tor..ing faets:—There is much reason to suppose that
witsyal Highness the Princess of Wales intends re-
twin! to Elglat:.l; and she will, with her usual high
pirit of independence, ask for a trial at Westminster
1011, shire she will herself make her own Defence, her
'most being once more attacked by false traducers,
ill .pies. and by servants who were sent from her ser-
rio, mid palace, for their bad conduct. These persons
aerseiere here bribed, at a very high price, telvedute
rir former benefactress by false evidence. I am au-
'wind to state, that all the Princess of Wales's debts
Italy are paid ; and that she svoit:d not, under any
tositletation ahstcrer, wish to be a burden to that

ow, which has alone protected her. She is now only
is; to demand the same pro►ection and jnstice of
■tube ami generous nation against her enemies

~ Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, who
atat rowels under the title of Countess Angela-
-Ipso set out for Toulon, from whence she pro-
w& In sea to Leghorn, on board the brig La
la, which is about to sail from this port for
rein. It appears that the stay of her Royal
NON. at Leghorn will be of short duration, and
'hash. will proceed immediately to Rome. Her
idyll Highness's suite consists of thirteen persons.

al Highness arrived there on the 21st.—(Mar-
