LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 29.
Three o'clock, p. mt.

Thursday's Paris Papers have arrived. The
Chamber of Peers, as a High Court of Justice,
devoted Monday and Tuesday last to the investiga-
tion of the charges against eighteen individuals
accused of being accomplices with Leave!, in the
murder of the Duke of Berri. Of these, thirteen were
orderc3 to be discharged, and the remaining five
were referred to the ordinary tribunals• It does not
appear that he had any confederate. The public
trial of Lenvel is fixed for Monday, the sth of June.
The dull 'debates in the Chamber of Deputies on
the Election Law arc still continued, and with little
prospect of immediate termination. The Madrid
Officid Gazelle of the 11th instant announces, that
the,Courts of Paris, London, the Hague, Munich,
I,resden, the Directory of Switzerland, and the
senate of Hamburgh, have already replied to the
notification made to them, that his Majesty had
taken the oath of adherence to the political Consti-
tution of the Spanish AI onat ehy, and of the measures
adopted to re-establish the political system which it
prescribes." It is added, that the answers (min the
above Courts 'will be officially published These
will be interesting documents--,ands, the aseas-
sin of .Kotzebue, received sentence of death
at Manheim on the 18th instant, and was to be
decapitated on the 20th, on a neighbouring plain on
the route to Heidelberg. An immense number of
persons• were expected to assemble on the occasion,
and all the military were ordered to be under arms.

THE QUEEN.

A letter from a Gentleman at Geneva, to a Corres-
pondent in town, which affords some interesting mat-
ter as to the state of her Majesty's health, and as to the
manner in which she had been received in that town.

Alter describing the unexpected arrival of her Majesty,
and the curiosity which her presence had excited, he
says:—Some of us Englishmen felt •it our duty to pav
our respects to the !Loyal Exile, and sent an humble
tcqu:st that we might be allowed that honour. Her
N!*sty was so much indisposed as to be incapable of
• us, but we were ultimately favoured with an
• I:ence. Her Majesty received its with great conde-
s:ension and affability, and made particular inquiries as
• when we heard from England, of which she ex-
ressed herself a devoted admirer. She spoke with a
set of enthusiasm of the people and of the country,
an.! said that her heart yearned with affection towards
tliz one and the other. She said she never should for-

bet the kind, liberal, and enthusiastic sentiments of
rz;pect which bad been paid to her while in London—
v.: a period when all hope, save that founded upon the
cmsciousness of her on n innocence, had fled. A
;oting gentleman, son of Mr. Alderman IVood, was
resent; he had before spent some hours with her Ma-
jesty, and in alluding to the honourable exertions of
fathzr, in favour of an almost friendless woman,
ts;:e seemed almost affected to tears. Her country—fur
she said she had none other but England, now that the
grave had swallowed her fattier, her mother, and her
I,7D:ller—was tht unceasing topic of her allusions ; and
she seemed to look with cotifidence to a triumphant re-
t....rn to what she emphatically called ' the ba.:om of her
" Her personl since she left England in 1814, seeing
to he a good deal changed. She is not so fair as she then
was, nor is she so stout—there is an air of melancholy
1....ng0ur about her manners, which readers her very in-
L.-cuing. It is thought she will remain here for bottle
time. She lives almost entirely secluded."
Tile arrival of Alderman W nod in the town of Calais
cc(' among the English inhabitants (ahunt 1,000
is number) a considerable li:rmetit. It was at once
coi.cluded that the long existing doubts as to the arrival
of her Majesty were about to be solved, awl the sub-
'quern departure of the worthy Alderman, in mom
with LadyHarttilton, on the road towao:s Paris, con-
firmed the bel.ef that her Majesty woMrt ultimately
come' among them. This belief led to a consideration
a:, to the way in which she was to 1c received.—
Many were fur evincing those sentiments of attachment
ivi the strongest manner; but, in order that the matter
no ;etc be arranged in a proper way, die following cir-
cular was isqued on Wednesday.
" HE a MAJESTY THE QUEEN Or EXCLAXIN—Wor-
oast* having been received of the pro:Able intention of her
gracious Majesty Caroline. Queen of England. to pass through

RIOT AT DOVER.--Uri Wednesday the Lively cutter
captor at a &thug galley. haste on board 57 hal.-
ankers of sin.rits, and 37 bags of tea, which, with the
crew, consistina of eleven persons, were landed Al Dover,
and ten of them being found fit for the navy, the whole
were committed to gaol until the ten could be removed
to some of his Majesty's receiving ships. friday morn-
ing was fixed for the removal of the ten fit to serve ; but
it being thought, from the vast influx of ill-looking men
into the town, that a rescue would be attempted, every
precaution was taken by the Mayor and Magistrates to
guard against it, by .having a body of constables, the
seamen belonging to the preventive service,and a detach-
ment of miliiary, drawn up both in and outside the gaol.
The nine of removal was twelve o'clock, but two hours
before that a large body of people had collected together,
which continued increasing every minute, and at the
tiute the men were about to be brought out, several
hundreds were collected in front and at every avenue
leading to the gaol, with every disposition to riot and
rescue. The worthy Nlayor, Sir Thomas Mantell,Ent.
and Edward Thompson, Esq. a brother magistrate, at-
tended at the gaol, and gave strict injunctions to the
constables to keep the peace, and to the seamen and
military not to charge unless absolutely driven to do so
in self-defence. The door of the
.prison was opened,
and the smugglers just upon the ponit of being brought
out, when a general shout was set up by the crowd of
" Liberty for ever!" and a number °flintiest, brick bats,
&c. were thrown at them. The aspect of affairs at this
time became so serious, that the Mayor directed the
removal of the prisoners to be suspended for the.present;
and it was fortunate he did, for there is little doubt that
bloodshed, and even murder, would have ensued
attempt to rescue. A deputation officer was
wounded severely in the head by a blow from a large
stone ; and Mr..l'hompson, the magistrate, received a
contusion on two of the fingers of his right hand, front a
missile. The mob, being toiled in their attempt to res-
cue the prisoners, proceeded to further acts of violence;
and, notwithstanding the Riot Act was twice read from
the gaol window by time Mayor, commenced an attack
on the gaol, with crow-bars, pickaxes, haturners, saws,
&c. &e.; unroofed the top, and threw part of the side-
wall down, and not only released the whole of the eleven
smugglers, but several whet prisoners confined in the
gaol under sentence; and they succeeded in getting them
clear off, the ituposiag numbers of the mob intimidating
the peace-officers and others from acting. One of the
persons most active in the riot was takeu,and placed in a
chaise with two constab:es, to be conveyed to Canterbury
gaoi ; but a mob collected at. the etal of the town, stop-
ped the chaise, dragged the rioter and constables out,
and, notwithstanding the former was handcuffed to the
latter, the mob threw the constables on the ground, and
severing the handcuff with a cold chisel, released the
tio er. Since the release af the smugglers, who all be-
long to Folksione, the ciawd has dispersed, and the
town remains tranquil.

On Saturday the Triennial Commemoration of
the birth day of Mr. Pitt by the Pitt Club took
place, by a dinner, at Merchant Tailors' Hall.—
The meeting was less numerous than on any former
occasion, not more than 250 persons being present.
Earl Compton was in the Chair. On his right hand
sat the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington.
the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Harcwood,
and on his left the Earl of Westmorland, Sir Wm.
Scott, and Lord Lowther. Neither Lord Castle-
reagh, Mr. Canning,ldr.Vansittaraoml Harrowby,
, nor Lord Sidman& wen premest. •
