I r is with much pleasure that we are enabled to an ,nettitec the continued state of improvement in the Queen's health. Her Majesty has found herfelf, for *cote days past, better than during the whole of the preceding three weeks. We understand, that when she remains quite tranquil, and is not labouring under :tll immediate paroxysm or spasm, she does not expe rience much pain. Her appetite has fortunately not failed her throughout her illness. Madame and Miss Beckendorf are the constant and only ottendants of her Majesty, and they have been in waiting alternately adoring the whole period of residence at Kew The report received yesterday morning from Kew, was, that " her Majesty has Lad a good might, and remains much the saute." We have received the Paris Papers of Wednesday last, from which we have made the following extracts. The French Funds still continue to rise, the Five per Cents. on Tuesday being as high as 78f. 36c. It' the Emperor of Austria intend being present at the approaching Congress, and if any reliance may be placed upon an article from Vienna, it is certain that Congress will not commence its sittings for some tilte ,yet. It is there stated, that -the Emperor and Empress et Austria will decidedly set out for Munich about the middle of this month, and it is intimated they wife return to Vienna again, -Leon his Imperial Majesty proceeds to Aix-la-Chapac. We -observe, also, that the latest advices from Petersburgh, are entirely silent as to the time when the Emperor of Russia will quit -his capital fur the same destination. The King of Prassia, too, is still the guest of Alexander.—From all these circumstances, we think it caremely improbable that the Congress will open its sittings in the course of the present month. Intelligence from Francfort mentions, that •the terri torial arrangements between Bavaria and the Duchy .of Baden will lie settled there, and not at Aix-la-Chapelle. One of the Minor Paris Papers censures the Foreign Journals for the articles which they have published relative to the recent conspiracy, and particulary for tile insinuations thrown out with regard to certain \lcn►bers of the 'loyal Family. The affair of ('eneral Cannel came on before the Tribunal of Correctional Y lice on Saturday week. An immense crowd took pus-session of the Hall the instant the doors were opened. (fin the cause being called, M. Couture, Advot ate Ge mini, and Counsel fi►r the General, said, that in spite of all the dispositions they had made to open the plead ings on that day, the progress of events had rendered it impossible to profit by that audience. Celt. Cantlel was arrested at six u'auck in tie evening of the of Tar NATioNAI, 11E61:;.T.V.0.7. July. From that moment he bad been kept in dose ehntinement, and his Counsel had been unable to com !mini:ate with hime The Court must recollect, be seid, that the General het?, on the 21st, expresicd a wish to be relieved front the extraordinary rigours which pre vented him from seeing his friend', in order that he' might prepare his attack and defence against the action of Messrs. &weed° and Fabvier. Sunset - vent to that public declaration U. Cannel submitted to a very long interrogetory. He ought to know why his liberty bad been torn from him ; and it was necessary for his advo cates to see his, in order tc know his actual resolution, . Besides, M. Camel was, in truth, the principal plain titi; although be bad become incidentully a defendant. He hal susuntomal witnesses from Lyons, and through out all the elepartment of the Rhone; his presence at their examination was therefore of the greatest impor tance. Whatever study his Counsel might apply to his cause, it would be impossible for them to know nil its innumerable details like him. The Court had decided on the t! st ult. that it would hear the parties and their Counsel ; its wish, therefore, no doubt, was, that the parties should personally appear before it. He con cluded by praying that the cause should be put off for a fortnight i • that the situation of tee General should be ameliorated; and that his Cohnsel should have liber ty to confer with him, and to ta'.:e his instructions as to the tapers which have been restored to him. M. Dupin, the Counsel for M. Senneville, said, he had only op posed the postponement of the trial at the last Sitting, because M. Canuel was free, and present, and no ob stuck intervened to hinder him from entering on his attack and defence. Now circumstances were no longer the same. The General was in close confinement, and they cheerfully consented to the delay, but wished it to be for a month, as he (Dupin) was to be employed in an important cause to come on before the Court of Assizes. Mr. Couture, on the part of General Cannel, opposed any lonizer delay than that of a fortnight. M. Marchangy, the tiing t Advocate, was of opinion that the humanity of the Tribunal could not retite a delay, since it. was at present impossible fin. M. Cannel to ap pear before it. The infigmation, hmvever, against the General anti kis associates was going on rapidly, and probably the close confinement would he tal:en oil . next der. The Court deliberated for a qu:eu.r of an hour, and the President declared the cause put °nail the 1 Bth of August peremptorily. M. Depin said, it would be impossible fur the Counsel of Messrs. Senneville and Fabvier to be prepared in so short a time. They knew. that General Canuel had cited those two Gentlemen for calumny; but they knew no more. After some further conversation, the Court put off the cause till Saturday the 7th of November. A letter from Ceylon states, that afars throughout that island are in a state of more alarming confusion than at uny former period. Martial law was proclaim ed on the 2d of March throughout the whole interior of the country.; a general order having been previously issued, directing that neither money nor ammunition should be removed from certain posts therein particular ized, without an escort of 20 men. The Governor was obliged to concentrate his force in the neighbourhood of Candy, where his various detachments had been threatened by the natives. 'The Dassawe of Ourab occupied part of our troops in Lower Ourah ; while the Pretender, as he is called, or some of his adherents, Lung upon our communications between Candy and Columbo. The natives are represented to have got together both ammunition and arms. The most me lancholy prospects seem to haunt the minds of oer countrymen, whose interests are involved in those of the British settlement at Ceylon,; and strong wishes are expressed that its local administration should be placed immediately under the direct control of the Governor General of India. The American papers describe, in a way which de mands some &lions notice, the trial and Lxecation, with the alleged oil aces, of Messrs. Armbrister and Arbuthnot, both acknowledged to he RdCs% sabjects, and accused of et - itacs against the United Statcs. As tiir the crimes in qaestion, ei.. 1. The supplying the Indians " with munitions of war," it scenes to have been done in the way of traffic ; Messrs. Arbuthnot, &e. having supplied the 'lndians with dried goods anti . a small portion of powder, wit:lola which they could not carry on their business of hunting—in return fur which they received skins and corn to the amount of 4,0001. General Jackson's soldiers destroyed this pro perty. 2. Messrs. Arbuthnot, &c. were said to have been spies upon the Americans. Now they were taken in a neutral garrison, when it was attacked by the American force ; how, therefore, could they be pu nished as spies upon the Amcricstns? The fact is re presented to bc, that these Ezsglish subjects were merchants trading with the Indians, .and much re spected by them; and that Mr. Arbuthnot -ntwasionally wrote letters for tho unfortunate people to the diritish Ambassador, complaining of the depredations and rob beries committed upon them by the virtuous Georgians; —these, we are told, were their crimes. W e think that the British Government is bound to make a strict and resolute, though temperate, inquiry into the fair ness of their trial, and the justice of their execution : fi:r, certainly, nothing yet appears to prove that they had fuzilitcd the protection ef their native country. i.te. 9 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. The Parlinaltht wsts Pug prorogued & Commission nv Tucidny, but by writ; consequently there were I,u Coy inilsioners, The form of proceeding was as follows:—. The Commons being et the door of the House, were admitted on the Chnuocllor's taking his seat, and went up to the bar ; when the Lord Chancellor stated, that the Prince Regent, in the name and on the behalf of his Nlajesty, had (ans.:a a Writ to to issued under the Great Seal, for prorog►:i►g the Parliament: and the sum being read by the ( ' !irk, the Commons withdrew. The Deputy Clerk of the Crown delivered in at the table the Return of the 16 Peers chosen for Scotland. The Loll:: present were, the Chamaur, Earl Purvis, and Lord St. I ; and the Parliament is prorogued to the &1 of October. The Clerks find other inferior servants of the House of Commons represented the Lower House: the Speaker attends on ordinary occasions of prorogation, but as no Speaker yet viists fur the new Parliament, that form was of necessity dispensed with. CENTRAL AND NATIONAL SCHOOLS. Tuesday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Du• chess of Kent, acemnpanied by the Prince Leopold, with the Baroness of Spucth, Mrs. Gurney, Mrs. Fry, Mrs. and Miss Wood, with a respectable party of ladies, also Sir Alexander Johnstone, Sir Robert Wilson, M.P., Lieutenant General ‘Vetherall, M. Lettellier, of the Royal Academy at Paris, with a select and respectable party of Gentlemen, visited the Central Schools of the British and Foreign School Society in the . Borough Road. Their Royal Highnesses inspected all the ope rations of the system very minutely for newly two hours; they expressed high satisfitction with the order, regularity, and proficiency of the children. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, after the exaniination of th..! Boys' School, inspected very particularly the operations of the different classes of needlework in the Girls School, with which her Royal Highness was pleased to express herself notch gratitiel. Same clay, the friends and supporters of the St. Luke's National School, for the education of 1000 boys, met at the school house, in North Street, City Road. About two ti clack their Royal Highnemes the Dukc and Duchess of Kent and Prince Leopold arrived.— They were met at the cntrauce of North Street by the Committee, who conducted the Royal Party into the school house. The children were up in the vard, and the house was filled with Ladies and Gentlemen, supporters of the Institution. The Royal Party were met by Mr. Alderman Wood, Sir Robert Wilson, and other distinguished persons, and shewn to seats appro priated fur theta. His Royal Highness the Duke of Kent, patron of the Institution, in un eloquent speech, addressed the meeting. He dwelt particularly upon the benefit derived from the system, by uniting ail sects and religions amongst thepoor. He observed, that he was anxious to spew the Duchess of Kent the liberal principles upon which these schools were sup. ported, without distinction between any sect or religion whatever. The Secretary then read the state of the Society, enumerating the number of boys each year admitted into that esti:111611)11cm, and the progress they had made in their education. 1)r. Lyndsay addressed the meeting in an able speech. Mr. Wilke, Honorary Secretary, announced that a piece of ground had been purchased to erect a school house fur 500 flimale children, of which Institution the Duchess of Kent had condescendingly promised to become the patroness. The Duke of Kent announced a subscription on the part of Prince Leopold, of 501. A handsome subscrip tion was then collected, and the Duke of Kent distri• buted medals to the most meritorious of the boys. The personal estate of the late Al Lerman Combo ivas sworn in Doctors Commons to be under the sum of 140,0(101. His son, Harvey Combo, Esq. is sole execu tor and residuary legatee. There were no bequests out of the funily. _ _ _ The Duke of Wellington's Spanish Aid do-Camp, (the gallant and able General Alava) has accompanied his Grace to London, and taken up his abode .at the residence of the Duke of San Carlos, in Portland Place. General Maya is about 45 years of age, very soldier like in his air and manner, extremely affable and unaffected, and bears the character of a very generous and liberal minded officer. DovEk, Avg. 4.—Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Clarence and suite arrived last evening, at 7 o'clock, at the Ship inn, and this morning walk&d from thence to the South Pier-head, where they em bmked in the barge of the Royal Sovereign yacht, under a salute from the guns at the heights 411 d the Pioneer schooner. A guard di - honour of the 51st were assem bled on the Fier-head, and the band of that regimert played the national airs of " God save the King," ard " Rule Britannia,' on their embarkation and sailing out of the harbour.
