The Jewels of the Princess of Orange.—It will be recollected that Mr. George B. Raymond, one of our police marshals, was deputed by the Dutch Minister last summer to proceed to England for the purpose of arresting the wife of Carrara and Roumage, who made their escape from this country with a portion of the jewels of the Princess of Orange. Mr. Raymond having succeeded in arresting the fugitives at Liverpool, proceeded with them to Holland. We have seen a letter from him, dated at Hague, Jan. 22d, which states that he has succeeded in discovering the spot where the largest part of the jewels were buried by Carrara at Brussels, and in disinterring the whole of them. He had the satisfaction to deliver the whole of them himself into the hands of the Princess, in the presence of all the Royal family. He had to contend with great difficulties in passing and repassing the Belgian army; owing to the hostile state of things existing between Holland and Belgium. He was treated with every attention by the Dutch Government, and had unlimited powers to draw on the Rothschilds while engaged in his arduous duty
