(PURTURR PARTICULARS.)
On Friday, twelve Italians, (ele%eit men and one
...,oitiati) it it iiesses against her Majesty the tineru, and,
to all appearances, of the very lowest ELS% of society,
arrived a: rover from Prams.. Their object in coming
to this eliontry I 1111 l discovered by the pro- I
p„ le and roused the liveliest frelino of indignation tipsiest
them through the whole town, le they tvere in the
custom-house, having their lutriste exantieed. a largo
.-crowd, consisting of men, a 011WII, and cliiioren, collected
iu front of it, on their cowing out tell upon them, and
beat them most venting, all the %bile, the '
deepest Execrations aglailist then', aril the purpose for
which they Im:1 been bronoto over to Enalant!.. It was
obsenahle that the scomett took the t ttolrnt part in
Ibis protTeding. The coach, whirls hail been ordered to
convey the Italians to it•lflon, stopped for two hours
after its usual lime of departure; but the crowd was
great, anti continued to exhibit such strong feelings of
indignation towards those miserable cremitres, that it
was obliged to leave Pt.ver without them. he
trams tbeu Called out the civil putter, and proceeded to
disperse the people, a 'itch they sneceisied in accomplish-
ing in little more than hour. The Italians afterwards I
left the town by stealth, and proceeded to London by I
the bygeoatl; through Folkston*, Maidstone, &c. One
of them is said to have suffered most severely, having re..
(Rived scut over the eye, and others were much braised.
The captain of the packet-boat came in fur his share of
abuse and ill-usage; but he appeased the niob by sayings;
•*l.)—n the Italians, if I had not brought them, smile
one else would, and I might as well pocket the cash ae
any other person." On the arrival of the mail at Can-
terbury, the coach was surrounded by c mob, who, under
the belief that some of the Italians were in it, treated
the coachman and guard very roughly, aud, until satis-
fied of their error by ocular demonstration, refused to
retire.' The Italians atrived in three chaises at a late
hour on Friday night, at the gate of Lincoln's-Inn- I
square. They inquired for Mr. Cook, but found that
Mr. Cook wits not at his chambers. They then pro-
cured a direction to Isis rriv-te residence.
It was strongly rionoured yesterday, that several of
the Italian witnesses haul been sent elf to Ilarivich, to he
re-embarked for the t eminent, but the rumour was pro-
bably circulated with a view to allay the irritation
which their arrival hail excited among the populace.
The following is a ropy of a letter from Boulogne,
elated on Thursday evening, respecting the last importa-
tion of witpesses
" I ant just come from the Hotel de France in this
town, where arrived, about five o'clock, No carriages,
containing a dozen Italians, under the charge of a con-1
rier, all of whom will be shipped off in shout an hour
for London. It is well understood they are going to
give evidence against her Majesty the I..turei of Eng-
land. To give you a just, description of these men
would nut be a very easy task. It is a positive fact that
the chamber-maid at the Hotel, where the fellows stopt
to clean and eqresh themselves, Was afraid to conduct
them to the upstairs rooms ; and this, as they will he seen
in Loudon, is ell I shall say about their general appear-
ance. Theymay be all very virtuous, conscientious men,
but there is not a human Gain in existence who would
not shudder on knowing that his fate depended on any
testimony they were about to give;—and l do hope that
the character of English justice, which has hitherto sioo4
unrivalled, will not be sullied by such men being called
in to aid her in wielding the sworn with which she is armed.
The people on the Continent.tith4 great interest in the
affair of the Queen; and since her conduct, if bad at all,
was considered by Ministere.not to be so bad as to close
the door to negociation and accommodation' they wiU
always believe her innocent, even thongh she should be
found guilty. They sarcastically ask, why she does not
send a green bag to both Houses of Parliament ?—Aud,
well huowing that the succession to the Throne cannot
be affected by any thing pat or any think Ileum they
want to know what all the stir is about 7 If you tell
thew, in reply, that the English Ministers are the goat-
diaus of the public morals, they lanes you out of WWl-
lemur:"
OUTRAGES AT VAIKLOP FAIR.—At raillop Fair; on
Friday, a scene occurred nearly as bad as that at West-
end, whieh threw a damp on the amusements, and de-
terred parties front separating, in order to protect
themselves against the ortanixed betide of pickpockets
