About half an hoar ago Alderman Wood, and two persons w Ito seemed to be domestics, went out board and took possession of the further cabin. The cairiages are all placed in atop. thee pat ket. The decisive step being thus taken, it will be interesting to state the events and motives which ap pear to have led to it. " Mr. Brougham, as I told you in a former letter, set off on Friday afternoon front i)oier, in company with Lord Hutchinson; they reached Calais in a few hours, sold nit Friday morning ptoceeded to St. alter's. !'ilr. Brougham, as is well known, went professionally as the adviser of the Queen ; Lord !I 'tidbit:fon as the friend of the King. and the bearer of proposals troth his Ma jesty as well as from the Government. As 10011 as they arrived, they were introduced to her Majesty, who was attended by Lady A. Haubl and took coffee with her. Lord Hutchinson, with considerable agitatimi in his thatmer, briefly announced the proposals of which he was the bearer. lire Qfweit expressed great indignation, hot, before she gave her final answer, desired to see the proposals stated at length and its due writing. 1111(1 Htiteititisou replied, that at present he had merely some inemeranfla Ott icrai.s of paper, but that he would reduce them to f pre% i nn s to the neat meeting. Her 'Alajesty then appointed the stem morning (Sfatidav) for the second interview. His Lordship, at the stated time, waited norm her Nlajesty, and in her presence, and in the he .ring of Mr Brotignaiss, Mark the tolktwing proposals in form : " ' That her Majesty should renothice all right. title. and claim, to the name, dignity, and I f Queen of England, and should from henceforth be styled and considered simply as Poitiers. Caroline of Brunswick: " That her Majesty should agree ',evert() pot her font in England, or in any part of the firittsn rlontiniutts : that, should she comply with these conditions, an inc 1111 l t. of /MAW/. a year should he settled o l eo' her, which she might enjoy wit) t molestation; ahoold site refuse, criminal proceedings would be instituted against her afresh. and the severest penalties might he expected.' " " The Queen read the proposals deliht rately ; she then promptly and decidedly expressed her intlignatinf, and disgust, and directed itimiedive preparations to In made fur her passage to England. Mr. Brow:haw. whose opinion was asked, is said neither to have: retltioi minded the adoption nor the reject 1111 l of the proposals His remark was, that her Nl,jesfy was the best judge u! the real mate of her case,and that a was for her to rieeifte what was hest and most consistent with that knowleilee. Her Majesty Jul decide: she sent off couriers am o re diately to prepare horses its the road to Calais, and 1 !1 , • packet to cotivet her to Dover. Nay, with so detei• Milled 4 Spirit was she animated, th ft she declared limy rather lbw' tleltiv her voyage, site would pm 10 sea open boat.

It seems that Nhvie 'tlr Brougham and laird Hole lieu arrived al Si. 0 tier's, on Saturday reciting. Mr. Br011.;11 nn was first introcinced to leer Majesty, who was taking conee : alter a few complimentary utmereations on both sides, Mr. Broughton. aimonoced to Cite Queen that Lord H in coirtsint, woo had formerly been a 14'11/111 friend of her Majestv. had come iii the spirit Of sincere friendthip to atoll to make 1191111. propos,' Is isi his filajesty*s name. rie 011(4.11 11111110lialely at:swered that she should be most happy to see laird Hotcrtiostm 1(9111V/911: his was accordingly ititralticed, and took coffee with her ?plait-sly. who conversed tin trolinioent topics. di Isis latirdship 04e to go away, when her Majesty said, • hat as she understood be had some proposals to make o her from the King. she should wish to see them in ,vrititez. and o ithout delay. In consoptclice of diet request, Imo! Hutchison wrote the following letter to r Brim tt.. Ihr fiftieth! adviser of her Maj-stv : " Bra„—le obedience to the cowman& of the Queen I have to inform you, that I am not in possession of any proposideq or propositions detailed in a specific form of words which I could ley before her Majesty; but I ear, detail to you. for her information. the substance of many conversations held with Lord Liverpool. llis Majesty's Ministers propose that 50,0001. per annum should be settled on the Queen for life. subject to such conditions as the King mar impose. I have also reason to know that the condi tions likely to be imposed by his Majesty are, that the Queen is not to assume the stfilEnd title of Queen of En land, or any tide attached to the Family of England. A condition is also to be attached to grant, that she is not to reside in any pert of the United Kingdom. se even to visit England. The consequence of au& limit will be an immediate message to Par tionew. and an melba and to all compromise and negotiation.— I believe that there is no miter seediuon. I am sure none of any importance. I think it right to send to you an extract of • letter from Lord Liverpool to me s his words are—• It is material that her Majesty should know conf dentially. that if she should be oil! advised as to COIN* over to this country. there must then be an end to all negotiation and compromise. The decision. I may my. is taken to proceed against her as soon as she sets foot on the British shore.' I cannot conclude this letter without my humble though serious and sincere 'application, that her Majesty will take these propositions into her most calm consitteration, and not act with any hurry or precipitation on ao important a subjax.— I that toy advice will not be misinterpreted. lean have no possible interest which would induce me to give fallacious counsel to the Queen. But let the event be what tt may. I shall console myself with the reflection that I have performed a painful =owed upon me, to the best of my judgment MI conscience, in the decistoo of which the Kitts. the Queen. the Galvin. moot. and the people of England are materially interested.— , Having dune so. I fear neither °blow oor misrepresentation.— I certainly should not have wished to bate brought matters to so precipitate a conclusion. but it is bee Mt feet 'a decision and not misc. lam consensus that I kale my duty towards her with every possible degree of feedig and delicacy.

" Mr. Brougham accordingly presented the letter: the moment her Majesty read it, site expressed the ut most indignation, and appealed to Mr. Brougham fur his opinion. Toot gentleman rettiaiketl, that certainly those were not conditions which he should advise tier Nlajesty to accept; at the same time he begged her I .ll.9esty to considvr what conditions site might 111! pleased 19 accept. Her Mijesty hest knew what was befitting her real situation. The Queen promptly replied...o M. detennitsation is soon formed: 1 shall set nut Instantly • for England—it is in London. and London alone. duo • I shall consent to consider any proposals of the Kulp of England.' tier Majesty then requested Alderaimi Wood, whose kind asrstancr she had so Iretrietitiy experienced. to order horses to h.: immediately put to the carriages, and to despatch a courier to prepare horses oft rise road between St. Oilleelp aunt c. 1 1 .415.

At length, however, her Majesty and suite were safely placed in the heat, which raindly approached the shore. amidst the most enthusiastic cheernigs from the count less stitiliiinde on the beach, the heights, and all 11w ascetics leading to the prisseipal hotel.
