The Negotiations respecting the KING and QtrgEN eagross almost the whole attention of the Public, though, very properly, every mean is employed to prevent anything from transpiring during their pro gress. So much is the attention of Ministers occu pied with this subject, that even the public business of Parliament is in a great measure suspended, to allow them time fur their deliberations. If any credit may be given to rumours, these deliberations have been attended with circumstances very perplex ing—so much so, that for these two days, it has been reported that not only Mr. CANNING, but the Mi. n;sters generally, had offered to retire. They are, however, still in place, the Negotiations are still going on, and we are still of the opinion which we expressed yesterday, that they will terminate in an arrangement no way derogatory to the QUEZN. The situation of Ministers must be rendered the V. 're perplexing at this moment from the aspect e:.l.ibited by the political horizon of France, which it would be folly to pretend does not threaten a con vulsion which may again cover Europe with blood stied and desolation. S:veral people of character and consequence have paid th.ir respects to her Iliasasrv; but the conduct of one person seems t•• create is the Public some surprise. Prince LEOPOLD a: ..:d$ in the place of his wife. British generosity has so pm. .iard for him, that be is enabled to fulfil all the charities and &sties of human life, in as ample a manner as they would have been fulfilled by our late Petscess Coriatoste herself: The treatment of the Qe from him, therefore, would, it might be presumed, be 'precisely such as she would have received from her beloved daughter had she been living. If he waits before he pa - :s his respects to her 31AsEsTv—before he offers her th e homage of his dut)—till she has acquitted herself of these detestable charges, why her enemies will do as much as that ! His Royal Highness will understand, whatever German law may be, that it is a maxim of British jurisprudence, that all zre esteemed innocent till they are proved guilty. The conviction of an ofence may excuse the desertion of friends; but the jse ri,,cl of accusation is that which calls for their countenance and support ! Does his Royal Highness know anything'against her l‘laresxv? If not, we think he should wait till others have proved their charges against her, before he fancies himself justi fied.in treating her with neglect. Has he waited upon her 31A- Jesry to mingle his tears with her's, in relating to her the death of her daughter and his wife The afflicted mother might by chance, fur We speak at a venture, have expected such a me. lancholy consolation !"—Times. On Monday night, at eleven o'clock, Lord Aneut-'1 BALD linsityrox arrived in his carriage at the QUEEN's house, in Portman -street, and had an imme diate audience of her MAJESTY, which lasted about an hour. Yesterday her MAJESTY had several con- 1 .citations with her ATTORNEY and Sosactrott-GENE• L aad the inquiries after her health were more numerous than on the preceding day. In th? House of Commons, last night, Mr. GaEx- TELL brought forward the subject of the Public Ba lances in the hands of the Bank. It is satisfactory to Itarn, from what fell from Mr. G. that Ministers h.,ve at last entered so thoroughly into that Gentle mzin's views of economy on this head, that the amount of the Balances has been reduced from eleven ' , rations and a half, to three millions seven hundred thousand pounds. The saying to the Public is nearly equal to half a million per annum; and for this saving, one of the largest and fairest that has ever been made since retrenchment came into fashion, the Public are indebted solely to the indefatigable perseverance with which, for a series of years, Mr. G. pressed the practicability of it upon the attention of Ministers. The Amendment in the French Election Law, which we mentioned yesterday had been adopted y a large majority of the Chamber of Deputies, is to the following effect. The Departmental Colleges are to consist of the Elector , , paying the most taxes, equal to a fourth of the whole number of Electors of each Department; these Cc lieges are to elect 172 Deputies; the Elec toral Coles of Arrondissement arc also to elect each a Dei uty ; these Colleges arc to consist respec tively d all the Electors having ;licit political domi cile in each Arrondissement; and the fifth of the present Deputies that are to - he renewed, are to be tlected by the Colleges of Arrondissement. The Chamber will thus consist of 430 instead of 258 Deputies. Although the Ministry have disclaimed any con nection with the author of this ,AmenAntent, M. how, there can be no doubt that it has been the re sult of a tacit compromise between them and a numb Lee of the Ileputies who had previously opposed any inr.ovation on the esiaing system, as settled by the eh:liter. Although by the plan thus adopted they are disappointed of that overwhelming influence vhicb their own Project was calculated to give them at the rite_ entire fehtsvai of the Chamber, yet they have gaine.l.more than the great majority of the nation are dispoted to grant theme BY assigning to only one-Eokrth of the existing botiY bf Elector's the , power of returning 172 Deputies, they hlvegreatly fa cilitated the process of putting the nominations to that exten► into the hands of the French Treasury ; and' when that is - effected, they must, indeed, be very bungling operators in the cause of corruption if they cannot obtain the permanent support 0144 of those re• turned upon the ad system ; . and that is all that is quire(' to secure ar► absolute majority in the Chamber. Still the Government is far from having effected what it was labouring at the hazard of its very existence to aecomplish. The change which it ori ginally proposed would have had the effect of dis franchising the Revolutionary interest entirely, which our Readers need not be-told is the predominant in terest in the country. The moment for making this daring experiment was well chosen.—France was terror-struck at the murder of the Duke de BERRT by what may be called a political assassin, and the odium of a participation in his crime was thrown upon all who should raise their voices in defence of the interests or principles of the Revolution. Yet in defiance of this torrent of prejudice, there were not wanting men of sagacity and spirit enough to see and ward off the vital blow which, under the funeral pall of this lamented Prince, was aimed back at the national Constitution. Almost half the Chamber not only resisted this sinister attempt of the Govern ment, but, by the studied violence of their speeches, (for such is the fact—a fact more to their honour than discredit)r raised such a ferment in the Capital, and even in the Provinces, as to cause the Project to drop from the trembling hands of the servants of the Crown. If the French Ministers are wise enough to respect the Charter, both the CHARTER and the BOURBONS may probably take root in France. But ;f that sys tem of meddling with, and paring, and patching the , Charter, which has been more or less at work ever since the restoration of Louts, be persevered in, all faith in the sincerity of the restored Dynasty will speedily be lost, and between such an alienation of confidence and an everlasting separation, the step is generally but short. M. de GIRARDIN spoke patriotically and well, when, in the Chamber 45f Deputies, on a late discus sion, he thus addressed them :—" It is on the basis of the Charter that we will meet the Ministers: it ' is there that they shall always find us ready to confer with them : it is on that basis, and that basis alone, that conciliations can take place with advantage to the public liberty. It is because they have wandered from the principles of the Charter that discord has reigned amongst us ever since we assembled. The Ministers, who complain so bitterly of their position, would never have been placell in it, if they bad never indulged in projects contrary to the spirit and to the letter of our fundamental law." The Spaniards have an article in their new Con stitution which it would be well the French had in theirs. It is High Treason to attempt the slightest alteration in the Constitution till it has had a ten years' trial. Were this the case in France, it would be spared that incessant agitation of party questions which keeps the public mind in a state of feverish exaltation, and utterly retards any approach to a consolidation of the new order of things. The KINO of SPAIN, with the view of restoring the public credit, which everybody kpows had sunk to nothing during the period that he was under the in fluence of Councillors who had sold themselves to do evil," has declared in full force two Decrees of the Cortes, which had guartnteed the faithful repay ment of all pecuniary advances made for the benefit of the State, according to law. The Elections in Spain continue, it is said, to ip in favour of men distinguished for the moderation of their political sentiments. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. " MADRID, MAT 24.—A1l is enthusiasm in the metropolis in favour of the Constitution, but there is reason. to believe that many of the loudest cries are insincere, and that if matters are pushed to ex tremities against the privileged classes and corporate bodies, there may still be a re-aclion, and a restitu tion of the KING'S power. Most of the Liheritks look for a struggle, and the favourite song in the streets, at the theatres, in the presence of the Km) himself, is the very warlike one of RIDGO'a follow ers, when they raised their standard of revolt in Andalusia ; but the docility of FERDINAND, the un equivocal principles of the present Ministers, and the general feeling of the army, afford a hope that the Revolution may be consummated in the happiest manner. The decision which the Government dis played a few days ago, in apprehending some of the most violent of the (now degenerate) Lorenzini Club, and the failure of the counter-revolution attempted last week at Zsragossa, will tend to maintain tran quillity, and to consolidate the present state of things. The Cabinet suppose ESPOZ•Y•MI NA to have fomented that attack upon the Minister of War, GIRON, which led to the imprisonment of the above-noticed Radicals."

On the news of the arrival of her MAissi, being received at Hull, flags were hoisted on the churches, the Trinity. House, several of the ships in the dock and harbour, &c. and the bells rung f throughout the greatest part of the day. At soon as the Public Papers had announced the gratifying intelligence of the QUEEN'S arrival in Eng ' land, the bells in the churches of the different parishes in New •Malton rang a merry peal, and the inhabit ants vied with each other In their demonstrations of attachment and loyalty toper most gracious MAJESTY. On Wednesday last. the bells of the town of Bury rang a merry peal, in honour of her MAJESTY'S art i val in Englartd. Prince LEoPoLD has recently turned his scientific mind to Conchology, and intends to form a Museum of the first description. The two finest collections of shells at present in this kingdom, are tho e of the Earl of TANKERVILLE and Mrs. &Notts. The Mar chioness of CORNWALLIS is also collecting unique I specimens in that branch of Natural History. The Duke of BEDFORD has been much indisposed at his seat in Devonshire. We are happy to state he is now much better, Their Graces are expected in town this week. Lord DONDAS still contlini es so much indisposed, that his family are under the greatest apprehension respecting his recovery. The Earl of Sit APT nsaurtv entertains a large party of distinguished personages on Sunday next, at his house in Grosvenor-square. • Mrs. %Tatum:a Ball, in Charles -street, Berkeley square, yesterday evening, was attended by upwards of 200 distinguished Fashionables. The preparations for the Royal Coronation pro ceed with great activity, and, in many instances, begin to assume a decided form. This is particu larly the case in Westminster Hall and Abbey. In the Hall, not only is the platform entirelrcompleted, but the frame-work for the side galleries it erected. The lower part of each gallery-is ten feet from the platform ; and the flooring of the gallery. is also about ten feet in depth, the seats rising regularly one above the'other. Behind is a passage to enable the com pany to pass to the several boxes or seats. Under neath these galleries will bn assembled the company at the outer tables, and the attendants at them, as well as affording room for those %Om may hate to pass to the other tables. The Court in which the LORD CHANCELLOR was wont to sit during Term time no longer exists : the flooring, the benches, the Seat of Equity, are all gone. The antique figures are covered over with canvass ; and will speedily take their stations at the side of the great window. The Cobt•t of King's Bench (the Judges of this Court now .continuing to sit in the Exchequer) is now begun to be removed ; and the rooms behind these' Courts are undergoing extensive alterations, as they are to be converted into robing and retiring rooms. In Westminster Abbey, similar progress attends the the proceedings. The platform is raised along the nave; the galleries are being erected in the aisles; and the elevated stations occupying the former scene of the choir and altar, and where the Coronation will take place, are formed, and come full upon the sight as the spectator enters the grand west door. In the Cotton-Garden (the large open space between the House - of Lords and the Thames, and approached by the passage under the Piazza), are proceeding some works of a different character; but not less es sential to the completion of the Coronation banquet and festivities. Here are being built a series of kitchens, &c. there are to be twenty rooms for the preparation of the several courses and entertainments connected with the dinner, banquet, and concluding festivities. In these rooms and kitchens all the re quisite preparations will be made; and there is a passage leading to the southern window of the Hall which will enable the several courses, &c. to be for with great facility and rapidity. There will be room, should so many be required, for 5100 -per sons, consisting of cooks, confectioners, and their at tendants. The spot is well adapted for the purpose ; it is near the Hall, and at the same time completely separated from it. • _ . • • • ) I. . '' ~ - J
