QUEEN yesterday from Kew was—

filer %Nest, continue • bell. r."

tier MAJESTY received a letter ,t,terday from
the Duke of CLARENCE, dill the l'ilucems
Au-
GUSTA and the PRINCE IiNGENT.

We have recrived Puri+ ['morn' to the Bth lost.
The contents are of 110 tuterrst to our rrollrra.

The five per cent. Consols were on the 7th
78 1-sth fr.—Book Achi•ns 1,610 fr. This is le
61 eglit decline from the prices of the preceding day.

A Dutch Mail has arrived, and brought Riper%
t• the 9th instant. It is ►rated that six hundred
British soldiers of the Army of Occupation,
fawned home in the latter rod of and
that their place !ins slut been supplied by fie!ih
troops. This circumstance is cited as a confirma-
tion of the upprnaching departure of the whole
army. Report add., that the fortresses of Cain-
bray, Valenciennes, &e. will he given up to the
French in Octiober. The now prevalent mania
of visiting France will Own receive n serious
check ; for although the withdrawing of the Army

of Occupation is presumptive evidence of the coo-
lfidence entertained by the Allied Sovereigns mid
the King Or FRANCE in the prtfei t stability is Ism
(_;ove aaaaa lent, and the triniquillity of the country, if
left to itself, ninny of the prisons who have lately
v.sited it are of a ditleirlit ()pillion. At all eveiits,
when the Army of Occupation shall have been
Iwithdrawn, emigrants will not feel the saute ease
as at present ; and, consequently, will have tbs. less
temptation to remain abroad, while the tiund may
I
I warn to be content at home.

VVe have received Americas) Palter* to the 15th
18.. t. Oue of the Boston Jaurnali affects) to treat
the lea less attack ni the 11 .lea with great
levity. The capture or l'entiacukt is ao

a

cant matter, and the other Euroran Powers are
too fond of peace to be diverted from their pacific
policy by such a trifle. Ttie American Journalist
who maintains this doctrine, is not aware that war
is the trade of Kiosks, and we regret to say that
the conduct of the American Government in the
Florida' affords more than a pretext to exercise it.
The Secretary at War lied returned to Washing-.
ton, front his visit to South Carolina. It is said lie
wrote, •• a polite note to General JACKSON, inti-
onstinic that his immediate presence iu Tenuessee
was indispensable."
It appears front these Papers, that reinforcements
have been dispatched from Cuba to St. Augustine.
The Boston Paper of the 15th states, that five
seventy-four's were at present in a state of great for-
weirdness, and two more were expected to be laid
down. We presume this is only a part of the naval
force sanctioned by the late Congress.
The Norfolk Paper of the Bth July contains
very recent intelligence from the Spanish Main.
The Insurgent General BEasturres made an un-
successful attack on Cullom& about the end of
May, anal lost 200 men. General BouVsa was
at St. Fernandes, with from four to five thousand
:nett, chit fly coloured ; the rainy season had set in,
and the campaign was expected to be over for some
time. hloati.t.o was at Valentin, and had not en-
tirely recnvered from his wounds.
Two of the three Commissioner* sent out by the
Government to report as to the present state of the
insurgents in South America, had returned from
Buenos Ayres; the other had proceeded to Chili.

Lord CASTLEREAGH kft town for the Continent

The Brussels Papers state, that his Lordship and the
Duke of RucIIELIEU are expected in that city in the
beginning of Sepieniber. In that event, it is pro-
bable thot his Lordship means to visit Paris before
hr proceeds to Aix-la-Chapelle, to meet the other
Sovereigns.

The Duke of IVELt.tNGTON, accompanied by
his Aide.tte-Camp, Colonel HARVEY, left A psiry
House about half-past four o'clock yesterday after-
WWI fur Fr.lnce.

The case of Hussey, executed for the murder of
Mr. BIRD, of Greenwich, fauvism excited great ie-
trrest, we felt peculiar pleasure in copying his con-
fession yesterday, from The Observer, Sunday
Paper, in an authentic shape, with the signature of
the Rev. tlr. C DGE, of Lionehouse. This plea-
sure was derived from the knowledge that the pub-
lic mind had been divided on the question of I lus-
sey's guilt, and that this confessioil had rentoved all
thoilits on the subject, and set the public mind at
rest. It was therefore with regret we read a para-
graph lust night in au Evening Treasury Journal,
slating, that the Editors had " st rong private reasons
for believing that linssey's confession, as so given,
is not correct." If the Treasury Journal really
thought so, why dish it copy the confession, as it
was copied by other Papers, without at the same
time untiring the points which the Editors had
strong reasons for believing were not correct.--
Is it the duty of a Treasury Journal, spargere tuxes
ambigssns, and to make the people of Etiglood dis-
satisfied with the administration of justice ? If so,
the Treasury. Journal, as far as lies within its
humble means, has done its ditty ; but with
all our deference fur liberty of speech and freedom
of (pillion, we do not think that any Journal should,
in a case of so much delicacy, have presumed to
question the correctness of the document so authen-
ticated by the signature of the Rtv. Mr. RuDGE,
without being prepared to establish its charge, ■nd
that, if so prepared, it has failed in its duty in nut
layittg ielittt it contends to be the true statement
before its readers.

Yesterday. iplout three o'cick, Lord STEWART

Embassy at Vicuna. His Lordship proceeded from

there last tpight, and it was arranged that his Lord-

For some days past it lois been said that her MA-
JESTY has suffered no severe attack of her complaint ;
but little can be collected from the vague reports
that are suffered to transpire. Her malady, see fear,
is too deeply rooted to admit of long or of perma-
oleo relief. Her Ma.tesTv's anxiety to go to
Windsor and to Froginure is so strong that it is to
he complied with. It is thought that her MAJESTY
has papers, (bienniums, and other matters, which
the do-iree herself to dispose of. l'he Pi incess of
HEsse fluitsount; is the confidential depositary of
her Hopp, sriiiimems on every point, and is intrusfed
to rxe. ate all her bequests, sod is said to have cor-
rect vouchers with her abroad, so that probably no
regular Will of her imamate' property a ill be ren-
dered necess,pry to Hipctsr.—The jewels she has
been accustomed to wear have beets sent to the

Letleis from Naples slate that they have had an

what we have tspezieliced fur she last 7(1 dais in
Euglautl, we should not consider as extraurtimary ;
but it is mentioned as being unusually high.
