' TIIE QUEEN. It appears by the Bulletin of this morning that her Majesty has become worse. It states as follows : " Kew Palace, Oct. 12. " The Qum, has not had a good night, and her MAJSUTY feels a want of that refreshment, which she has lately cleated from sleep. (Signe d ) " F. 1%11 LMA N, " 11. lIALFORD." The Bulletin of yesterday stated, that her MA. JESTY was less comfortable on the afternoon of Sa turday, but that she had recovered her esse by another good night's rest. The accounts through other channels inform us that towards five o'clock her MA. JESTY had some recurrence of cough, with slight fever, and restlessness, and she remained so till after midnight, when the symptoms again abated, and she afterwards slept .uninterruptedly for several hours.— The PRINCE REGENT arrived at the usual hour in the evening, and passed some time with the PnixcEssE., after which he visited her MAJESTY and returned to town. Her MAJESTY, we ire father informed, was again. in the middle of the day, not so well as she had been in the morning. otettfrigr YOU No ittflllo.l Flaw via navels FIONTIEHS, Ocs. s.—The &swiss, of Its of tile yiens men of the classes of the yews 1818.0111, Who unto complete the army is to been la the mproiug of the Igth of this month at Lille, and to be finished in the whole deparment on the 28th following. It is to take place at the same time in Artois, anti Picardy immediately after; before their departure the reviews will take place, and each contingent then go to join the legion for which it is intended. It is observed with pleasure, that in all French Flanders and Artois, the insrvips tion of the young men included in this double levy has taken place with. tranquillity and order, •ithoet causing any irregularities. The Number of letter) 'sent to Officers on half pay, to invitelhem to go over to America, is more considerable than was 'at first supposed ; hat this new measure has had levy little effect—many of those to whin they were ad dressed have sent them to the Lieatenant.getterals commanding the Military Divisions in which they se. side, repeating at the same time the assurances of their attachment to the present Government and laws o f France. It may be foreseen that the new Election, which shortly Like place in the Northern Departments of France,will be made vb it!, the greatest tranquillity. The spirit of the disturbers of the public trap. goilliry is so well known that it is generally despised. Preperations are making • at the head-quarters of the Allied Troops, which favour the belief that the iiidoarehb am expected .to review them. In all the t'tweet departments occupied by the Miles, the eve ceatiou of the French territory is considered as more .pod more certain; and if the resolution of the Sole• . reigns should tarn out otherwise, it would cause au eloraordinery sensation. Bitusq34l, Ocr. 7.—The Editor and Proprietor l of the Journal des deux Randres, who is in arrest at Ghent, is very strictly guarded, and no person ad keifited to-see-him ,• .he bad already undergone several interrogatories. The reasons of this measure ate not yet known, but it is certain that his Journal ceases to appear. He is to be tried before the'rribunal atg hent. Two English Cabinet Messengers passed through this city yesterday and last night, ou their way from Aix-la-Chapelle to London. Lord Claticarry, the British Ambassador to our Court, has returned to this city after having been for some time absent. FIRANItronT, OCT. 3.—Her Majesty the reigaing Empress of Russia arrived here this evening it 71 o'clock, her 'Majesty left ‘Vurtzberg at 7 in the morning. She alighted at the lintel of Dsrmstarli, where she was received by his Royal Highness the iferediisry Prince of Hesse. The Hereditary Princess, the Empress's sister, had gone to meet her M;sjesty. Their Serene Highnesses the Lsndgrave and Lands gravine of Hesse- Homburg, and the Privies and Prince:s Custavuvol H ornharg, and their Royal Higurresses Prince and Princess IVillism of Prussia, base come to pay their tespects to her Majesty. The Empress had requested that no honours might be rye. dered her; thus all the preparations thst had been , made to receive her were countermanded, and her entrance was only marked by the transports of jer proceeding from the crowd collected to see her pass. %Ife- shall not long hare the pleasure to have &moos us the. august consort of the Emperor Alesander. tier Majesty goes to-morrow to Darmstadt, where it is supposed she will stay the sth, and go on the 6th to Brecht's!. --wo-- A butch .`.bail, with Pawls to the 10th instant, ' arrived this forenoon. The intelligence from Bros. sels does not confirm what hos been communicated from Aix.la-Chapelle, respecting the determination to evacuate France, but it announces the passing through that City of two English Cabinet Messengers for London, who may be the bearers of dispatches communicating the Resolution of the Sovereigns.-- It is observed, that in all the French Departments occupied by the Allies, the evacuation is considered as certain, and that if the Resolution of the Sove reigns should tarn out to be othereise, " it would cause an extraordinary sensation." We have no doubt it would. The completing of the French army by the new Conscription appears t• proceed with tranquillity. The Paris Journals do not now speak so confidently of the decision of the Allied Powers to withdraw their troops. One of the Papers has retracted its statement of the measure having been fixed, representing the intelligence as premature ; bet the fact of the Allies having come to such a determination is not doubted. As the de tails of the measure had mot been fully arranged, and digested into • tarried Reify, on the .2d inst., it would be contrary to etiquette to announce it in po sitive terms in the Official Print; and the true cause of the pretended retraction in the minor Journal was, we apprehend, that the Editor had been re buked for presuming to make any communication on the subject without the authority of the higher Powers. --v-- Roston Papers to the 21st, New York, Richmond, and other American Jaurnsls to a late date, reached us this morning. The Editor of the Berisocrulid Press announces, that he has received from his cor. respondent tot St. Thomas's, under date of the 12th August, the following news from Venezuela. Nut. withstanding the tains had inundated the • Plains, and the campaign was supposed to be at• an end, General PAEZ had the hardihood to swim . the river with his numerous cavalry, and make so . attack on the Ro}slists in the Plains of Varitial, who not suspecting any danger, were reposing in perfect security, sod were completely defeated by this en r terprisii% Chief. The Royalists at Conocca have,. in consequence, been thrown into much cnnsterna. Lion, apprehensive that they too may he unexpected ly visited. It is rumoured that General 111!GitEcott had 1200 Etegliihmen embodied on the Oronoko. The Boston Patriot says, that the Emperor of Russia was extremely sorry that the vessels disposeel of to Spain did not prove good, and has determined to present FIEUDINAND with two good ships of the line as an indemnity. TRADE TO NEW BRUNSWICK. I,;.‘t week we recorded a on. e of the circamatances ativudint on the finding of the body of John Timms, at tlolme.pierrepotit. Th.

The Note in which the late Spanish Minister Pt. zmtno protested, in the name of his Government, against the occupation of the Floritias by the troops of the Uoited,States will be Nand in another Monte.

An intim.. Lion is given, that the negotiation pending be. toeeti the two countries must be hrt•kett off, until ' the Government 4 , f the United States shall have as. pressed its disapprobation of the excesses committed by General JacKsotr, and inflicted an appropriite punishment upon him, and until matters have hem " replaced in the Floridas on their former footing.— The American Government, our Readers are snare, his voluntarily anticipated the latter part of the as tisfnction demanded ; but no steps hive yet been taken for bringing General JACKSON to trial. If the new Spanish Ministry adhere to the sentiments es. pressed-by PIZARRO, we may presume that the ay. gociation for the cession of Florida will be resumed. We give in nor Paper of this day a enpiout extract from the Letter which Sir ROBERT WILSON has ad. dressed. to his Constituents, in refutation of thaws made against him' in the Couri (Quarterty) Retie*, of having dispatched a false Report of a Victory to the Commander in Chief of the British Army is the Peninsula; in the year 1809. An inipatatinn so hare on the character of one, who has so eminently contributed to the honour of the British Army IA the character of the Country, could only originate in a spirit of the most inveterate malevolence sad Political enmity. Its object is as apparent as its falsehood, but this unworthy object will not he attained.
