LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE

Three datfehi p• *e•

Lard Hutchinson and Mr. Brougham arrived at
Calsia from Dover on Friday last, for the purpose
of meeting the Queen. Her Majesty not having
arrived at the Hotel, where she was hourly expected.
they set off for St. Omer's. where they were to dine
with her Majesty. As St. Outer's is only 30 miles
from Calais, the Queen was expected to arrive at
the latter place on Saturday evening or yesterday
forenoon. Lady Ann Hamilton and Alderman
Wood were at St. Omer's waiting the Queen's arri-
val. It is not known whether her Majesty will
remain at Calais until preparations are made for her
reception in this country, or whether she has re-
solved to come immediately to Dover If she has
formed the latter resolution, her Majesty may be
expected in town to-morrow, or the day following.
A .paper of yesterday states, that Mr. Brougham
would advise her Majesty not to return immedi-
ately to England; bet that Alderman Wood was of
opinion that the noose the Queen returned to town
the better. %.% e, however, consider this report
as•eneof those idle rumours respecting her Majesty
whic'h 'have found their way into the public prints,
and it should be received as such by the public. A
Gentleman who arrived in town from Dover last
night states, that crowds of persons had docked
from all quarters to the coast, where they assembled
in anxious expectation the whole of Saturday and
yesterday, to see the Queen land from Calais.

The Paris Papers of Thursday last have arrived.
They state that the Queen of England passed ,
through St. Denis, on Tuesday last, on her way to
Celais. This statement, however, is erroneous.
The case of those who had proposed and entered into
a subscription foe the relief of such as might suffer
under the coercive laws lately enacted in France,
came on before the Court of Assize on Monday. It
was continued on Tuesday, when, it will scarcely
be credited, that some of the accused, all of whom
are men of literature, were sentenced to five years
imprisonment each, some to a fine in addition of
6,000 francs, and others to a fine of 1.4000! ! I As if
this extraordinary severity was not sufficiently re-
pulsive and disgusting, they have been condemned
also to pay the cost of the prosecution, and of the
printing and posting up five hundred copies of their
sentence. , Among this clan of sufferers is Etienne,
one of the most accomplished and celebrated writers
of the Minerve. Such harsh measures are calculated
to hasten others of great moment. The King, who
is mild and merciful, we hope will interpose his
Royal Privilege in favour of those who have been so
unmercifully treated, and as a proper rebuke to the
authors of such severity. The tedious discussion on

the articles of the Election Profs! is still the order
of the day in the Chamber of Deputies.—The Mira
Royalist •Journals speak• of disturbances in various
parts of Spain.

Accounts from Corfu, dated April 18, state, that
• small island has emerged from the sea, off Santa
Mount, which is attributed to the effect of the late
subterraneous commotion. His Majesty's sloop AU,
Captain Smith, had been dispatched to survey it,
and to christen it " Lauderdale's Rock."
By the late idvices from the Havannah, it ap-
pears that there ariived at that port on the Sth
April, from Africa, the Mania, with 160 slaves;
the Iris, with 317 ; the Turco, with sgo ; on the
7th the Isabella, with 124; and the Taresile, with
235 of these unhappy beings: in all 1276.
Lord Hutchinson was some time ago applied to
by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, on the part of his Ma-
jesty, to interpose his good offices ps a mediator, to
settle the unhappy difference thatisubsists between
the King and Queen; and to water official agent,
am, for that purpose. The Noble Lord
earassed his willingness to comply with the King's
sisopm, provided he bad the full consent of the
Qa•ms---for he never could undertake any media-
tion whene.s logy was concerned, without first ob-
taining her *sprees sanction so the measure. We
unlooses& that this was communicated to the
Qtreen, and that her Majesty gave her ehcerfnl
