JUNE 5 Thursday another Messenger arrived with letters f:om the Queen, and had an interview with Mr. Brougham in the Serjeant at Arms' room in the House of Lords. Her Majesty reached Ville Neuve sur Yonne, which is about seventy miles from Dijon, on Monday morning, at three o'clock. From thence her Majesty dispatched a Courier with letters to his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Lord Li. verpool, and Lord Melville. In the letter to Lord Liverpool, her Majesty has requested his Lordship to inform her what residence is prepared in England for her reception ; and in her Majesty's letter to Lord Melville, she requests that his Lordship will send a yacht to Dover this day, to be in readiness to proceed I,t) Calais to convey her to England. It is thus evident the Queen intends coming to this country imnsqdiately. On this and other matters respecting her Majesty, there are many vague and contradictory stinsours in circulation, we have only to observe, for the information of the public, that what we have stated is the latest authentic intelli gence that has been received from the Queen. We have received New York Papers to the 29th of Aprib.and Boston Journals to the Ist ultimo.— The Baltimore Patriot states, on the authority of a letter from Washington, that the negociation respect ing the Floridas has terminated, and in a manner so unsatisfactory, that the Spanish Minister was to leave the capital in a few days. New York Papers, however, of the 27th of April, assert, on the con trary, that just as the Senate was about adjourning, a message was received from the President of the United States, in which was enclesedthe treaty with Spain, as ratified by the Spanish Government ; that the Senate adjourned without making any order on the subject. It was, however, expected to be the first business brought forward on the following day. The matter at present rests entirely on report, but the next New York Papers that arrive will furnish us with the fact. Wednesday being the day named by the the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Liver pool, for filling up the lists for Exchequer Bills to the amount of £7000,000, a considerable number of persons were collected round the doors of the Bank before they were opened, anxious to realise the considerable profit attached to this kind of spe culation. At ten o'clock the door was opened, 'and the throng was so great, and all were so eager to gain admittance that the doors of the chief Ca shier's office were actually forced off their hinges, and the lists were immediately completed. Exchequer bills have in consequence fallen considerably, but it has had no effect upon Consols. MR. HUNT.-..-Mr. Hunt has addressed a letter to the Reformers of England, Ireland, and Scotland, dated from Ilchester Gaol, in the County of Somer set, May iB, 1820. Having stated his arrival at the place of his destination, and the spirit with which he continues to be animate& he observes,— " It is a ctiriota , coincidence, and deserves to be recorded, that during the early part of the protec torate, one of my forefathers, Colonel Thomas Hunt, was imprisoned in this very gum, and here sentenced to be hanged. drawn, and quartered fur having raised, clothed, equipped, and mounted a troop of horse in the count) of Wilts, tor the purpose of making war against Cromwell, who, in this instance, It appears, was more humane than 1.01110 of his suc cessors, for he mitigated the sentence to that of his being simply beheaded. However, my great grand father contrived to escape out of the prism:, habited in the clothes of one of his sisters, who came to visit him the night before his intended execution, and remaining in his bed till the next morning, he was enabled to land nee in France, where be joined, if !hock*. • omnium 0. , Imp. 3 per Cent.

THE NATIONAL MISTER. and remained faithful In his Prince, the Second Charles, and returned with him on his restoration. Duridg his absence, Cromwell not only imprisoned his sister for two years in this Name gaol, but he confiscated the whole of his property and estates, which the Monarch never restored when he became King. On the 17th day of May, 1820. in the first year of the reign of George the Fourth, I, Henry Hunt, the lineal descendant of the said Colonel Thomas Hunt, was incarcerated in the same gaol, under a sentence of the Court of King's Bench of two years and six months' imprisonment, and then to find security for my good behaviour fur five years, myself in one thousand pounds, and two sureties in five hundred.each, for ••• • *. Thus you see, my friends, that an individual of one gene ration was condemned to buffer an ignominious death for being a royalist ; but having escaped from the power of Cromwell, his property and estate were confiscated ; and that an individual, a descendant of the same family, of another generation, is now sen tenced to be immured in a dungeon, in the very same gaol, and held to * • • for five years longer, for having advocated the right of the people to meet and petition for redress of grievances and restoration to the fundamental practices of the British Consti tution." Proceeding► then to place on record the names of all the parties that have been concerned in the prosecution against himself, and the other defen dants in this affair, which he says, is the principal object of his address, and adverting to the actual penalties to which he has been doomed, and to the ninon. of the sentence he might have received, sup posing the Jury had found hun guilty of the conspi. racy, and the other serious charges in the indictment, he adds; " But my friends you will think that this is the very language of complaint which I have deprecated. I mean, however, no such thing•; even under such dreadful punishments, the noble mind, conscious of its own rectitude, would have borne torture: without being subdued into complaint." After tome further observations ha proceeds to state, that, iii imitation of Napoleon, he is about to write the bibtory of his own life.
