LONDON JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. [Morning Chronic: l ,e.] E QUEEN. Mit yerterdiry received the following Letter from an English Gentleman at Geneva :-- " Gentva, ifisz/ 17, 1820. "The QUEEN arrived here on Tuesday last, coming by the tilont Cenis to Charubery, and thence by Aix and Rumilly to this place. Her MAYESTY is lodged at the Hotel l'Ecu de Ge neve, Wlicre she intends to remain till the return of a Courier sent to Mr. Illitalionam On her arrival herr. " Her Majesty is leading a most retired and regular life ; she rises early, and is in bed generally before eleven ; hee dinner hour is at two, after which she tidies an airing on the and Tetifrus at fire to tea. _ _ " titer 'Majesty was cod:sled at Milan seseral days by in disposition, but i. now in the best heatth and spirits; she has been induced to travel with less expedition than usual, fol lowi,.g the advice of her Physicians. 41 On Friday, as the Queen enteted her carriage to take her ac' CttstOtned ride. she was informed of the death nt the D'acliess - of Yotk ; it so affected tier, that she Was obliged t. return to her chamber in evident distress. " From the Authorities of the King of Sardinia her Ma. jesty received the greatest attention. Though she expressed a desire to keep the strictest list:opal°, they insisted upon psuviding•hef Majesty with an escort of carabiniers through out the Sardinian dominions. " The QUeell has dismissed bet ICIHan Court, and with the exception of her Maids and Footmen, has merely with her M. de Bergaroi, her Chamberlain, an Equerry, and her l'ii vate Secretary, who is an English Gentleman. Mr. Wm. Austin, vrhow her Majesty took under her protection while a child, is now a very flue young man, and accompanies her Majesty to Eng!and, where she intends to place him at Colle " A great deal of jealousy has been entited in Italy, and stories have found their way to England relative to the exalt ation of NI. de Dergaini by her Majesty from the situation of Courier to Coaroberlain, front apparently nothing to that of a Baron covered with orders. But it is said that these decora tions he gained by his bravery with the French army in the campaign in Russia and elsewhere; and besides the high re commendatioa the Queen received with him, she says that she found Iris family was of respectability, and she has lost Jul occasion to reward his, for six years of tried services. He leaves her Majesty next week to join his sisters at Bologna. " nn receipt of dispatches front England the Queen will ett out immediately for Ostend, taking the route by Lausanne to Carlsruluit and so on to lirtiarlles. "Rig " Calafs, illey 40, 1620. " Lady Anne Hamilton arrived tiers on Monday last. and every arrangement has already been wade for the Queen's reception at the Hotel Dessin. A considerable part of the loyal baggage bas been forwarded to Dover. It is really la• mentable, or, perhaps, I should rather say ludicrous, konh. serve the effect produtani by the anticipated presence of her Majesty, veren upon the humblest sun& attached to the Fo reign Depnrtntent. The Du itish Consul at this port quitted the town the instant certain advices of her blajestya's advance were received; of course this precipitate tetreat woks solely influenced by the ettnsidetate wish to avoid the painful Out) , of declining to render any local services, within the capacity of his situ :lion as Consul, durib's her Majesty's ewhatkation for England, " M. D'Escalone, Cumniissary-General of Police, at this place, has been removed. His loss will be sensibly regretted, not only by the inhabitants of the town and neighbourhood, particularly the poorer class, but by every English traveller who has experienced his invariable civility and attention slUring the last four years. " flie instant the Queen of England arrives here, you shall leave the earliest communication." The following is an Extract of 1 Letter, dated Cadiz, May 5 : " I do not know when Cadiz will cease being the theatre of misfortunes. The 2il instant had been chosen for a bril liant But! Feast, the proceeds of which entertainment were to be presented to the brave soldiers belonging to General Quiroga's corps in La Isla, to whom such a large portion of the gratitude of their fellow-countrymen is due. A more nu merous aud splendid concourse never before decked our Am lehitheatre: all seemed to partake in the glorious motive which bad bron ? rtit them together, and this gaiety was en hanced by the prospect of excellent spurt. Thethird bull bad already rushed into the arena, and all eyes were fixed on the combatants realty to procceki to the attack, when from one side of the building dreadful screams were heard, and a num ber of people were seen to have sunk down by the breaking in of some of the rafters. This circumstance created the greatest confusion, and further injury was done by the spec tators hurrying away.

SPAIN AND FRANCE. PARIS, NIAY 42.—The Spanish Government on the Ist of May sent the-fullowimt note to M. Laval-Moututoreney, the French Ambassador at Madrid _ _ . " The recent law, which re-establishes in France a pre vious Censorship over all periodical works, evidently ',Lees them entirely at the disposal of Government : yet, for all that, 'several of them have not ceased to display a spirit no less hostile to Spain than inconsistent with the sentiments of the age in which we live. " The Spanish Government, eysally strong in the glorious adhesion of a people worthy of the liberty fur which they are indebted to their King, and in its conscious rectiinde of the principles which direct it, despises, as they Jest' ve to be de spised, those productions, at mice short-lined and violent, of a faction which, affecting not to understand the advantages of the Political System established in their own country, con :blues to feed itself with chimeras, and, breathing out impotent desires, incessantly prays for the resurrection of superann❑ated institutions, incompatible with the intel ligence of the age. sat the same time, the . Spanish Go vernment cannot omit to call the attentio❑ of the en lightened Cabinet of his Must Christian Majesty to the nielancholy results of such culpable conduct, because it sees clearly that the object is to spread everywliere dis quietude, fear, and distrust, by inventing stories of insurrec tion and dissension, and by thus alarming Europe with the impious edit , of their mischievous predictions. No one is better able than your Excellency, by the rank which you so worthily ' occupy, to appreciate bow much bail faith and imposture such writers combine with the erroneous maxims of their politics. Your Excellency, who sees Spain present a great spectacle of peace and concord, without any other alterations or difficulties than such as I most necessarily be felt in a slight degree in a numer ous family which changes its plan of managing its domes tic affairs ;—your Excellency, who is a witness of the sublime uniformity with which the Spanish people declared for the constitutional system, which promises them numberless days of tranquillity and of happiness;—your Excellency, who doubt less observes with a penetrating eye the salutary tendency of our fundamental laws, which, far from beingthe product of rein theories, are derived, for the most part from our ancient laws of Castile, consecrated by time and experience, and which are eel:tally separated from humiliating despotism had ham the fury of a in id denincracy;—yunr Excellenes,in short, who doubtless admires the greatness of semi and the rare vir tues displayed by a magnanimous King, cordially united with his faithful people. and rejnieing in not possessing any other power than such as is necessary to govern in Treace., and to labour effect tinily for their glsry and happiness ;—yonr EXcel fence yourself wilt he surprised at reading in certain public Papers, and certain despicable Journals of France,that Spain is the prey of a handful of factious men, that she is now op pressed under the yoke of phrensied demagogues, that rivers of blood must yet flow, and that Europe is menaced wits► the sudden contagion► of these frightful evils; such things would surprise your Excellency, if any thing could excite surprise on the part of .fhen who hare the direction of s inch writings, and if indignation were not the only sentiment which they ought to excite. " But the Spanish Government, unacquainted with the obscure methods of tortuous diploniacb sure of the noble and unanimous wish for a fraternal union pronounced by the na tion, is very far from wishing to .remand from any govern ment, laws of exception, laws of r e straint, the extinction of intelligence, or, in short, any thine: not conforetahle to the principles which it glories in professing• It will content itself with pointing out to the French I 'abitiet that which its own good sense cannot fail to suggest—the ill effects which might result among two nations formed to reciprocally esteem each other, to see that, under the rules of a Censorship dependent 'on ministerial authority, such gross calumnies are caramitted against a neighbour and a friend, whilst r+r►ieles intended to counteract them, to elucidate concealed truth, and to support the cause of reason and justice, are rejected. " His Catholic Majesty, who has received from his august uncle so many proofs of tender affection, and who in return has answered his Most Christian Majesty with sentiments not less elevated—convinced that it cannot escape the high wis dom of that Monarch, how important it is that the most-cur dial esteem and friendship should reign between two nations which paternal sceptres govern under analogous institutions, and which possess a multitude of common interests, has no doubt but that the French Government will adopt the most efficacious means of preventing the breaking of those ties, and of tearing up those pernicious seeds whicl) imprudent or cul pable hands are sowing, in order to reap their bitter fruits. In presenting these observations by order of the King, t take this opportunity of renewing to your Excellency the assurance of thy high cunsideration." OLD BAILEY.

Mr. HAM waited wpou the Gentlemen at the Stock Exchange this morning, with Proposals for a New Loan, and Funding, for the ensuing year. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposes that the Books shall be opened at the Bank of England on Wednesday, May 31, Thursday, June 1, and Friday, June 2, for receiving Sirbscrip. tions of persons desirous of funding Exchequer Bills, not exceeding the whole Seven Millions: It is proposed that 991. 5 per Cent.

And 201 The Subscribers shall be allowed to Exchequer Bills in advance, and to receive the interest upon the amount of the Exchequer Bills for the first instalment, from the date of the Bills up to the 31st May, and upon the amount of Bills for each subsequent instalment, from the date of the Ex ch,equer Bills, up to the day when the instalments would have become due.

The 5 per Cents. fell I per cent. and Consols rose per cent. We are without any arrival of Paris Papers this morning. THE QUEEN.—We refer our Readers to on'. daily Extracts from the LONDON JOURNALS for an article taken from the Morning Chronicle of this day. As that Paper, from its political connexions, is likely to know something of the intended move ments of her MAJESTY, and of the operatrt;n3 of her Agents here, we suppose the article in ques tion may be deemed authentic, as far as it goes ; but we hope that it is ndt Written for the purpose of preparing the way' for the arrival of the quondam Courier, now Count, into this Country. If her Mainsry, in case of her arrival, which we do not expect, notwithstanding aI I the various reports, should really come, and bring that Person with her, we believe that she would find a great abatement in the zeal of some of her Partizans, who arc so anxious to render her an instrument for their own purposes, or to ex cite divisions among the People. 'Die Ditches, of CUMBERLAND, we tinhrstand, does not intend to return to this Country. THE Duc D'ANUOULEMK. —A report was strongly prevalent this day, that the Doc d'AN- Gout.F.mt, in consequence of a tell trorn his horse, during his stay at Lyons. 11.14 received a conctit— siou of the brain, the effects of v‘,bicla are said to he still in severe operation. Silt THOMAS ITISLOP —The Pol)lic will recollect that the Thanks of 1 1 ,,rlitithent were withheld from galktit Ofti , .:er on account of the itlystely iii- I over Etc conduct tcsreccing ihe e.v'culion of the Kiliedar of 'rainier. The Pipers re cently presented to Parliament relative to drill transaction, but of which we can only give the substance at present, fully vindicate the conduct of Sir TftomAs, and prove that not only oo the ground, of Military Law, the Laws of Nations , but the call of EI inwui y, the Killadar merited his fate. Sir 'I no will therefore, of cootie , now receive thOse hohoiirs to which he is so fully entitled. The Letter from Sir WILLIAM CURTIS to the LOUD MAYOR, IVe to the Orphans' Fund, which we have inserted this day, is no' only a full vindication of the conduct of the worthy sa' Toner, hot bears a comprehensive interence. Vi e competent tribunal to o bid) the conduct of Sir WILLIAM was properly referred, and to which, therefore, be apperded, has given its full a ppro' bation of the Statements which he presented 10 it ; and however we may join with the Honour' able Baronet ii holding the Court of Cominoo Council in respect, we conceive, that while there is a superior Court, the Court of Aldermen . , t () which due authotity over the Fund in quo. (ion has been attached, the Court of Common Council e x ceeds its limited boundaries by any inter. ference. It may be conceived that Ibis interference is the result of private spleen, or perhaps a deeper spirit of hostility against tbe worthy Ifirooet, if not indeed an indication. of that tettdelicy to Ha' dical Reform, which would create such. confiisiori in Public Authorities as might ultimately o ver. , throw them all, The Court of Aldermen forme one of the most respectable Public Bodies in this or any country, and it never can be supposd , even without the consideration that their 0 11 character is. at stake, that any feelings of private friendship would induce them to give their sane` tion to conduct which they did nor Cully approve: Sir Wir.i.rAatt CURTIS, the more he is known the more he will be respected. His private life bat been conspicuous for liberality a': rectitude, and his public conduct for public spirit , manly independence, and a true regard to the irrerests of the Empire. He is therefore in danger of stafeting by any hostility that nTii have dictated the proceedings against hirer except that his generous nature may induce big to lament that there is so march malevoleoc e : in mankind', and that any person should be raise d into public authority who may employ it for the gratificatipn of private. feelings.
