Stn,—l am to acquaint yon that the *Kee n's Law
is have this day represented to the Howse of
Peers, that the Baron Clods, a Chamberlain in the
service of the Grand Duke of !Ude°, and who was
- assigned to attend upon her Majesty when Princess of,
Wales, during the period of her visit to Carlsruhe in
the year IS-17, is a material witoess for the Queen's
defence :—that the Baron had actually consented
(stbject to the permission of his Royal Highness the'
Grandpnite) to give his personal attendance in Lon-
ion fur this purpose, but that upon his Royal High-
IK.SI the Grand Duke's late return to Carlsrabe, this

consent (as the QIUKIIVI Agent Mr. Leman has de-
posed) was, upon the part of the Brand ))nke, dis-
tinctly refused; and the Baron alleged this refusal to
Mr. Leman. as the sole cause of hip not giving his at-
tud:tsce in this country.
Had the Queev's Law Agents applied in due time

to id4lesty's Oorernmeni, it would, under the rx-
preu orders which they had received at the outset of
these proceedings frost his Majesty, and which, in
every instance painted out by the Queen's Agents,
tiwy have uniformly and Itithrtilly endeavoured to
racy into effect, have been their dutyto have address-
ed a request on the part of the King, their master, to
the prated Duke. to permit the attendance of this

Gentleman 'refers this Hone of Peers, fur the for-
therasee of justice.

oh that they still continue to regard the prefitote of

fence, awl "ois )fsje•t) being solicitous, with the le/.r

Hi,chness the Grand Duke has felt to At details of his
Court being made matter of public Investigation; and
in proof of this, it may be permitted to the under-
signed to ree' to your Excellency, that upon a pre-
vious occasion, when he had requested the attendance
of a Forrrier of the Court as a wigwag against the
Queen, he readily desisted from the applicatioe, as
soon as be was made acquainted with the sentiments
and determination of his Royal Highneh ups this
subject. If he now pursues a different course, it mast
be attributed to the difference of the circumstances.

The witness in question is represented to be resets-
tial to the defence of the Queen. The rights of hos.
pitality will not be violated by his appearance ; on
the contrary, these seem to require, that the Grand
Duke should contribute to the vindication of the guest
of his Court.

The pertnission which is demanded is still more es-
sential to the character of the British Government.
With whatever good faith It may act, it will not
escape the attacks of malevolence, unless ha demand
is granted; and your Excellency will not have failed
to remark, that in this affair it is ■ot sufficient to act
with the most perfect purity and good faith, it is also
necessary that these should be made nudeniably evi-
dent to the eyes of the whole world.
'flc undersigned trusts that these considerations
may be of weight enough to induce the Government
of Baden to change its present determination.
Its own character for impartiality, and that of the
British floyernutent for sincerity and good faith, are
&pally at stake.

The magairude of these interests mast justify the
nmlersigncil for persistinx in an application which
could, under no other circumstances, hare received the
sanction of the British liovernment.

NOTE FEW' AARON DR DERSTETT TO 71R. LIDO, DA' CD

CULL...WOE, OCT. 13, Is2ll.

Star—ln reply to the note which your Eccellenei
was pleased to Address to one on the I Ith inst. and its
refereuee to the conversation which I had the honoar
to 101 l I with son ots the same 11.1 y, I find it necessary
in the first place to correct a most material mistake
which appears to have crept issto our roniusanications.
The object of the proposili 11111 l male to me verlialk
by your Excellency appeared to use to be that the
Brand Duke, my aligns& master, should give to Baron
4l'Emle not only his permiaeloo, but Isis ord,re to pro-
ceed to Ragland : to whirls I had the honour to
remark. that I knew too.well the fixed determination
of his Royal Highness, never to take part directly in
nay thine which might relate to the solemn proceed-
ing at this time before the Tribunal of the House of
Peers in England, to dare to propose to him to :lye
any sae% orders to a person belonging to his t'onrt.
Tour Excellency will recollect that when, some time
ago, yon requested rue to obtain permission fur one of
the Ivrerriere of the Court to proceed to England, as
a witness against the Queen, I was wider the necessity
'of declaring to you, that I could never obtain any such
Permission from his Royal *Ones,. ort 44.1
If any agents of the British Gurernment have suer
eeeded is inducing subjects of the Grand Duke to
proreed of their own accord to England, I have to
remark to your Excellently, that this cAuld nos er
have occurred except in the case of private indi.
video's. srt being in the service of the Court, or in
any official situation, 'and to whom nothing but a
passport from the Polite is requisite to enable them
to proceed wherever thty might wish, without the
Government ever having to take mortice of such a cir-
canistaace.
I hope that- your Rweelleney will fmd in this ex-
position of facts relatinz to the object of your mission,
the ,frost cvoxiscing proofs of the impartiality and
justice which bate guided and will veer guide the con-
shirt of my Governinewt on this sul;er:. lint as your
Excellenry is nevertheless pleased to persist in your
drama& that ltaron &Rade should at least not he pre-
vented by a refusal of lease of absence, from proceed-
ing to Ragland, in the event of his consenting to un-
dertake this journey: and M your Excellency assures
rue that this witness is deemed in be essential 4• the
defence of her blajesty the Queen, his Royal High-
ness has ordered ose to adders* immediately to Baron
d'Eade the letter, a copy of which is annexed, by
which that firstientas is left entirely at liberty %pact
according to his ow* wisher'.
If Baron d'ltude's reply, which I transmit is oti-
'fir al to your Excellency does not answer your expec-
mafioso, your Excellency will at least see by the last
step, taken by my Master's orders, that his Royal
Beelines,, taithfal to the.prinkiples he has laid down,
has had no wish to hinder Monsieur d'Ende from act-
isle Ira this occasion according to his own frae
I beg your Excellency to accept the expressions of
