TIM QUEEN. P The official Bulletin of the QUEEN'S health issued this morning, is follows : " Kew Palace, Sept. ?.41. " The QuELPSI has had sleep in the night, but the symptoms of flier MAJESTIC:, complaint are not improved. (Signed) " F. NIII.MAN, '• H. H ALFORD." Theextremity of weakness to which her MAJESTY 'is ►educed, sad itie unfavourable accounts from Kew yesterday gave rise to a report last evening that her MaJE.Te Ras no more. It appears, from the abuse official information, that though she had some sleep last night, she is considered as in no degree pester. 1,14 fact, though much pains are taken to con. cal her real situation, no persons but her medical at tendants, and the Ladies, being permitted to see her ; it now appears that she is fast descending into that state from which even the richest and the mightiest Ire not exempt. • The night beforelast, from seven to ten, her - J EST Y was eatietnely unwell, even more et 'bin she hid been t at . say time daring the past week, and in consequence, ; the PRINCE Ili ozwr did not return 'to Carlton-house, at eight o'clock, as he intended. Between eight -and nine o'clock, Sir HENRY Bar; FORD returned from Windsor Castle, and had an immediate interview with the PRINCE, to communi cate the state of the . Princess SOPRIA, which, we are sorry to learn, is still very unfavourable. Sir HURRY HALYORO had also a long conference rich Sir FRANCIS Mu st.t:4 2 on the state' of her MA- '!'HE ST ATES MA N J'ESTY, when some alteration was again made in her med(ciori t and at leogth, towards ten tk'clock?she hid Vont* sh 4,. ancrshor` tly . .'sfier the Pilitucitift GEST; 0111 . o hilivetern to garltbn-h011ie..04 feared, in; *ever,. the Iteni A MST was ceased by mere exhaustion, and the operation of opiates, as herein and resi levant., throughout the Joy bad been excessive, and her i sleep was broken in abort inter vules.. we understand s with ix considerable degree of fever. ••,OT • Towards eleven o'clock the more violent symp toms of her MxxxsvT'a disorder abated very ma- s 1 terially, and she remained, throughout the day, and up to half-past seven o'clock, apparently free from pain, bet most distressingly exhausted. The Couriercells the immense wealth which it is en.' derstood the QUEEN possesses a fiction, and modestly adds, " if the QV EEN does possess afro; score thoe. sand pounds, it is more to her honour than to die iiennylv , s." It is no fiction that the country has Tern rendered almost pennyless by grants of money to (royalty, whether her MAJESTY be rich or poor. Saturday nest is the day appointed for the public entry of the Emperors and Kings into Ale.h.Chapelle. The projects for supporting despotic Governments, for aggrandising Sove reigns already too powerful, and for binding mankind in eveilasting chains, will then be en. loved upon—under the old odious mask, the pre. text of securing the tranquillity of Europe. The conduct of these Sovereigns, who owe their all to the magnanimity, the sufferings, and the heroism of those whom they now seek to depress, has rendered this Meeting for deliberation and combined effort neces sary on their part. They have already discovered the workings, and may read the effects of that love of liberty and independence which the Almighty has originally implanted in all, and without the ex ercise of which qualities, these despots them. selves would still have been the insignificant creatures they were, when crouching beneath the Superior intellect of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE. That the liberation of France, or any other country, js their object, though the armies may be withdrawn to suit present circumstances, we have unfortunately no grounds for believing ; but that their discussions and negotiations will embrace topics peculiarly in. Westing, and tennected with the Civil and Religious Liberty of Europe, we are not disposed to doubt.— In proportion as the light of knowledge pervades the recesses of that portion of mankind who have hitherto been without its blessings, and trembled in the most abject and degraded slavery, the trammels which ignorance end superstition had imposed must be dissolved ; and if liberal institutions, suited to the wants and the improved state of the community, be not supplied in their place, dissatisfaction and revolt against •i he power of unjust and arbitrary government most ensue. If the People are goaded to madnessby tyrants rend a system that can no longer be borne,' unbridled excesses must take place, as in the case of , the French Revolution; or, as in the case of the' , American one, order and liberty succeed despotic measures, if the general state and information of the inhabitants 61 them for the enjoyment of what, neat after health, must be considered the greatest of all earthly enjoy ments.—The conduct of the Allied Powers (unfoitunately for mankind, but perhaps, eventually, 'more unfortunately for themselves) has not been in orison with . the wishes, the opinions, and the imOrovemeals of society. Instead of satis fying the desires of the People, who restored to them their power, in the hope that a greater degree of liberty, and the securily of Repre sentative Constitutions, would be granted to them,' the Sovereigns and the arbitrary Governments that are tottering even amidst their successes, Item leagued only for the purpose of imposing fetters upon their subjects, and checking the progress of the human nand. They have consequently created a high degree of excitement, and a spirit of resistance to their measures in the public mind, which threatens to boil over, and " set the cauldron in a Wm." — The Wort to be now made is to repress, and, if pos sible, provide against the clanger likely to result to despotic thrones from this feeling ; the People, or their wishes, it is evident, are to be held in no other respects as worthy of attention. Such is the leagued despotism of the Legitimates, that a German Prince, ho is disposed to prove himself a wise or a good man, and willing to respect the opinions of his sub jects, cannot accede to their wishes, in giving them a liberal Constitution, until he has submitted the na tore of that Constitution to this most magnificent and arrogant Assembly ! The Grand Duke of Balsam, previously to the ratification of the new and libetalCoettitution which he has given to his subjects, oast ley it barer° the Holy Alliance for their accept. arm; sad as we have no doubt bat they wilt reject it in tote, as a libel upon their own arbitrary G o . vestments, we can conceive what a pulsation will be /ilea to the public mind on this account ; 4 *elation that will be felt throughout all Ger wsany, wicere one common feeling of indigos lion prevails against the faithless Sovereigns, sato' have so shamefully belied their promises. It is against this feeling, and the . possiblity of its being gra tified, that the wits of the assembling -Congress has now to provide. "'~._ French Papers to the 19th, and a Mail from 1101- land, have arrived.

LORENZO CALrO, formerly a merchant, mod afterwards a Mi litary Intendant, and Member of the Cores, who . enjoyed a retired pension at Talavera, bits been• ar rested, and carried to the Castle of Vallaviciose, , but for what cause is not known. TM, Count of MONTIJO, who rendered such services to the Royal cause at Aranjuez, in 1808, has been removed from his Government at Granada, and sent in, dilrace to Burgos. Some details of the state of affairs in Mexico are given klerters from Vet' Cris, but these are the statements pot forth by the Royalists, and, of course, represent their cause as sucees4ut. The seizure of Pensacola by the United States' troops seems to have had an extraordinary effect upon the Merchants of Marseilles. Under an im. pression that it would lead to a rupture between Spain and the American Government, they open.. fated considerably in sugar, coffee, and tobacco; but the subsequent conduct of the United States, in disavowing the act of their General, restored the markets to their previous state. It appears by the accounts from the North, that the People of Norway, however they 'may constitu tionally submit to their t►ew Sovereign, are in no disposition either to pay him personal respect or re linquish their privileges ; the Diet having by a great majority rejected the proposition made by the Swedish Government for changing certain articles of the Constitution ; and having also, with equal de cision, rejected the proposition of going to meet the the frontiers. Letters from the French frontiers by the Dutch Mail, take notice that, previous to the review, the Duke of WELLINGTON bad some conferences with Lord CASTLEREAGH. DREADFUL. GALE AT CADIZ. The following is en Extract of a Letter f►om the Agents to Lloyd's at Cadiz, dated the Ist September, 1818 : 64 A severe gale from the East was experi enced here on the I.lth ult., which lasted the whole of that tiight, and the greater part of the fol. lowing day. The following vessels sustained damage: —The Alexander, Graham, from Liverpool to Meg sina, which had sprung a leek, and put in here, must discharge her cargo and repair; the Kitty, of Waterford, Duggan, Master, drove ashore, and lost an anchor and cable; the Samuel, Le Lschuer, of Guernsey, lost an anchor and cable; the Insolante, alias Le Penn, of Malta, Lafforte, Master, driven on shore, and knocked her keel off, and expected to go to pieces; the Spanish brigs S , . Joze, alias Esperanaa, and Nuevo Felepene, were driven on shore, and went to pieces; and some other vesses lost anchors and cables." VISITS TO THE QUEEN.—Iii the forenoon of yes terday, the Duke of YORK Visited Kew Palace, in his way from Outlands to London, and passed seve. ral hours with the Princesses and the Physicians. The Princesses were also visited by the Countess of CAR DIGAN; end they resumed their walks in the Gar dens, attended by General TAYLOR. Sir HENRY lIALFORD set out also to attend the Princesses in their walk, but he was recalled by the arrival of Dr. BAILLIE at the Palace, from Windsor. Dr. BAILLIE visited her MAJESTY in company with the other Physicians, and they had afterwards a consultation. which lasted a considerable time, and he then re turned to the Castle. About three o'clock the Dis• chess of YORK arrived from Outlands in her curricle, and a little before five the Patrice REGENT from G.r.tost..llouse. The Duchess was about to depart, and was entering her curricle, whets the PRINCE drove into the court. Her Royal llighnesss imme. distely re-alighted and remained till the departure of the P RINC E, and at half past pis o'clock they departed within a few minutes of each other ; the PRINCE to return to Carlton-House to dinner, and her Royal Highness to Oatlands. The Duke of SussEi Was also at the Palace in the coarse of the afternoon, and he alighted, as usual, at one of the private doors of the Botanic Gardens, which open on to Kew Green.

Two schooners have arrived from Bristol, withco. goes of Beth.stone for the Pavilion, and 'the remain. br of the s'one ornaments for the minor mintierett, -that are raised at the angles of the large Kremlin olunerets in the centre. The scaffolding is struck round the north roinnerets, and the lesser ornaments displayed • beauty of architecture, which is waiver. sally admired. We are happy to teem, that the'front of the Pavilion will be faced with 134th.sione, for which purpose upwards of 1,000 tons are freighting for this place. The name of the person who lately Tescaed tit young lady, while bathing at Hose• is Sawyer; ho received ten pounds for the timely attlstanceho had recdered, as we before big ted, and bil bar not only been rewarded with double that seen' since, list tt. friends of the young Lady have alannimeed their is. tendon of extending their bounty to his family, con. sisting of a wife and five children. The machine, now appears, had, from a sodden declivity of thebesch, found its way into the water soon after the yolk{ Lady entered it, and before the solitary attendlot had retired. The man, who coatd not swim, finding it impossible to bring the unwieldy carriage back wilhoutwassistance, berried over the beach to Ilen in quest of it. Sawyer was in the public-house there, and hastened to the water's edge on learning what bad happened. The machine, upset and on its side, had floated some way to sea by this time, and the peg Lady was beheld clinging to one of its wheels to pre• serve herself from perishing. Sawyer, who is agood swimmer, instantly plunged into the water, sad cea. trived to lift her on the wheel, where show securely, and then roared lustily for a boat. A small boat was at length procured, but further time elapsed before oars could be foond ; but these, at length, wets forthcoming. The patience of Sawyer being neatly eahausted by these delays, and perceiving his vi a loable charge in a tolerably safe position, be swat hack to the shore, jumped into the boat, compelled all others to retire, sculled the skiff himself, and, closely wrapped up in her flannel dress, with little difficulty took the trembling young Lady onboard. A large roquelaire coat was in readiness for her at the water's edge, and with this Sawyer enveloped her ere he would suffer any one to approach the bolt The different articles of her dress were floating is alt directions, and scarcely any of those have been sisal recovered. The young Lady sustained no injury, and her gratitude to pour Sawyer may well be lma gined.
