September, aud Liverpool paper OF
Saturday the 9th of Sept.--the Courier
being an evening paper, brings US, o.
course, the intelligence Of the ID The
papers are, as usual, devoted in great
measure to the proceedings in the Qaeen':
trial. A female of the name Oh Louisa
Dumont had occupied the house three
days. On her principal examination
liner testimony was perhaps more strongly
presumplive against the Queen. than any
of The preceding witnesses. Upon her
lcross examination, however, with much
difficulty, some pretty material circnm'
stances we're drawn from her, which were
calculated TO shake her credit. Among
1.-THE rest, were produced several letters,
written by this witness after she had LETT
the service of the Princess OF Wales,
which she finally acknowledged TO De
written by her, from which the following
passages we're read Is If The Princess

Of sensibiity and generosity which she has
shewa, and the manner in which she has
been received, applauded, aud cherished,

MY Journal is embelished with the effu
sions OF my heart, my greatest desire hay-
log always been, that the Princess should

full Justice should be rendered 10 her."
After reading the letters, the witness ex.
piained their contents by saying, that when
she was writing them, she was anxious to-
secure place in the service of the Prin--
cess for her sister.
When FIRST enquired of respecting the
Baron Ompteda, she frequently said she
knew nothing except having seen him at
The Villa VILLAIN when he visited the
Princess, In her discrimination, be.
ing asked whether she had ever heard
any complaints made about locks and
keys, she answered that she remembered
The Princess making complaint, but she
did noi recoIlect what the complaint was
about, though she acknowledged the Bar
Cd Ompteda was 10 the house OF the Prin-
cess at The time. On being Intercepted
she denied plumply that she ever took |
any part in the complaint, or that she wrote
a challenge on that occasion. The ex |
aiming counsel asked her g Did you mol |
write a letter to Mr.. Hannah p She
answered, :. do not recollect." Did
not he desire you to write letter for h;u,
to the Baron Ompteda ?" She again ans
wered, " recolIect nothing about it,"
Parts of the letter were then shewn TO
her, and she was asked If it was her hand |
writing, but she would give no decisive
answer. The question was put direct,
$ Is il your handwriting p Her answer
was 6 Ii does not seem exactly like it,"
