THE QUEEN.

The arrival of the QuEcN at Calais seems to be
no longer a matter of uncertainty. Iler MAJKsTY
was expected to reach that place on Saturdte last,
hut it is understood that her further proceedings_
whether her MAJESty will purser her route to
London, or irtire to her roinicr tetreat at Pesaro,
will depend upon the result of eeitain negoriations
which were to he commenced immediately upon
her arrival at Calais. Mr. LlaouGtosst, her MA-
JFSTY'S confidential adviser, and Lord fluTctitN-
sos, left Dover on Friday night for the purpose of
meeting her MAJESTY at Calais. Lord I Iv rcittN•
SON, we 1111%t: lurch given to esiderOaoti, proceeds
on a mission of extreme delicacy, hot this of
course must fur the present depend upon covjec-
tUre. As It wall 111011gI,1 In he puletible that her
MAJESTY might, even at Calais, alter her inten.
hone of couttnuing .:Vf journey to London, the
Lords of the Admiralty, we understand, have not,
it: pursuance of her MAJESTY'S request, eviriufly

entolusoded tb.t a Yacht shoohl he diopiteiwd to
Calais. t• convey bee Manure to Di,,,.; b,t
instructions ■re .aid to ha►e been privately gi►r
fur that purpose.

It is observed in the Paris Papers that the
Qytex, who arrived at St. Denis on Tuesd,►
miming., avoided thee/mita! in her loonier.
Should the remit of the negoeiation at Calais he
her MAJESTY'S determination to return to Eng.
land, we understand she may he expected this
at Dove►, where she will 6x her rtsidehre r,, i.
present.

We cannot pretend to coojectare what manner of
treatateat her MAJESTY will receive in this ma.
try from the public authorities. in the event of her
resolving to come to England soil m✓. t her erse.
mire. The probability. however. may be c"llecteil
froth fling fact, which has been coramentinted to os
in a private letter : The British Consul at Cale,
being apitriied of the Queen's intention to grave
through that town on her route to Londokocalited
the circumatance to the British Government, and
desired to he informed of the manner in which Ins
should receive her WI her ■►rirsl in Calais. No an.
silver was returned to this application. and the
British Consul, to escape the rtwbar►asoment into
which the want of instructions bad dimwit him,
bar retired from the town until her MAJESTY OW
have departed from it.

The rollmving letter was received yesterday mons.
ing from Di ver

" DoVCR. 12 O'CLOCK. SATTIRDAT.

" I have to itifcrm you that the
twin LAMBERT, has just arrived here from
Captain LAMBERT reports, that her MAJESTY sin
expected Iliaa day at SAAR'S until, CALI*. from
St. Omen, whithtr twenty hereto had berti
forward to curet her :—there was not the least doubt
entertained of her arrival.

" Mr. BROUGHAM Dud Lord fluicitiNsos (rot
Mr. DENMAN) left Dover last night for Celan':
and it i. rumoured here that they are gone to L 6.
suede her MAJESTY from coming; and tlh:•t Alder-
man Woott, on the contrary, is anxious fur her
immediate return to this country. All 1. conjecture
as yet. There are more arrivals expected ; and the
moment that any particulars are received hrre
rrle-
tire to her MAJESTY, I ►hall dispatch a nievsenzer
to you.

" Since writing the above, the Felipse parker,
Captain SootLocx, has arrived with ptimeng.n
and dispatches, and he confirms the account al.
ready received of the expected arrival of tier Nil.
JETTY at Calais this day. A French pocket hos
also arrived, with the mail, the Captain of schtch
states, that there was no doubt entertained of her
*tried! at Calais to-day."

We have received Paris Papers of Wednesday and
Thursday last. The accounts they contain from t
Spanish Journals are calculated to excites pait.!pif
degree of intetest, and to make us with earnrstle
for tbe speedy sueetiug of the Cortes. It is much
to be lamented that in a moment like the present.
of extreme difficulty and imminent danger, the
stately dignity of Sp.inich proceedings cannot lie
induced to accelerate its pace and put art eud to the
alarm and sense of iusecurity that meet prevail
there during the present posture of affairs. Some
commotion', apparently of • very violent ips.
lure, have occurred in Madrid and in S.irr:l-
- The club Lorenci ii i, in Madrid, has bests
permitted gradually to assume all the pones
of a legislative assembly, and now dares to issue its
dictates to the Government. It is difficuslt to say
whether we should most pity or desiire the Govern-
ment for submitting to a tyranny so degiddill:Z.
The bonds of society have been miserably reLixrd
in Spain, and no attempt has been made to emptirta
them. Gad the same delay its calling the represep.
taints of the people together, after the set of revo-
lution, occurred in any other country in the world.
it would long since have witnessed either the wildest
excesses of popular turbulence, or have rel.prwpi
into the former habits of arbitrary govetnapepa.
It serial., however, that the Kara bac at Prop.:!!)
resolved no longer to submit to the +mutat t e
club, The Miniderof War,thr Marquis Lai AM I.

they presumed to command the Kieft' 111 tiiruu

to cause their deputies to be arrested. This said.

appearance of lbw Kixo's troop. Insight them 11. r

The disturba►►ces in Ser►agosa were much ►un, it
serious, and there some lives were last. It is stair,'
in some of the !Madrid Pspen that the clergy have
been very sncceniful in the electioss of deputies

with very impudent consequences. for the chew'
of Spain are known to be almost nuaniosaus in
their hostility Is the Constitution of 1812.

mane cf their families had retired previous to the
siege. Some of the traireports had proceeded to

Tie slave trade is carried on with Spain with
great vanity. By the late advice. from the Haven-

An expectation existed during the whole of Sa-
turday that a communication front the Treasury, on
the subject of the Loan, would be sent into the
City, but it did not arrive. As Friday item is
named for the opening of the Budget. it is proba-
ble that the intimation will be given th.s day.
There seems a general persuasion current, that the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will fix the
i,rtliter part of the Loan in floe 4 per Cents. sod it
!mug Annuities, which will er...tte• less csivial than
in the Consols, but like the fou.ling of toe Exche-
quer Bills, will be encumbered with a higher rate of
interest, a proceeding which can only be justified
by some prospect, however remote, of paying 441
