iii my former statement, dated Calais. It seems that
when Mr Brougham and Lord Hutchinson first arrived
at St. Oiner's, on Saturday ev iiiiig, Mr. Brougham was
first introduced to her Ntoest , who was taking coffee:
after a few complimentary o ervatioits on both sides,
Mr. Brougham antioenced to the Queen that Lord Hut-
citiiismi, who had formerly been a warm friend of her
Majesty, had come in the spirit of sincere frientistaip to
both, and to.inake some pnapdgals in his Majesty's name.
The Qtteeti immediately atisehired that she should he
most happy to see Lord ituteltiniiin forthwith : his
Lordship was accordingly ititroduc.:d, anti took coffee
with her Majesty, who conversed oil iiirliiferent topics,
till his Lordship rose to go away, when her Majesty said,
that as she understood he had sonic proposals to make
to her from the [Zing, she should wish to see them in
writing, and without delay. In conseqatence of doe
reques., Lord Iltitchinsfin wrote the following letter tip
Mr Botti!th im as the Militial adviser of her Nlajestv:—
" Sts,—ln obedience to the commands of the Queen I hive to
irforni you, that I am not in possession of any proposition or
propositione derailed in *specific form of words which I could lay
before her M zgesty ; but I ran detail to you. for her information,
the substance of many conversations held with Lord Liverpool.
His Majesty's Ministers propose that 50,0001. per annum should
lie settled on the Queen for. life, subject to such conditions as the
King may impose. I have also ration to know that the condi-
tions likely to be imposed by his Majesty arc, that the Queen is
not to asinine the style and title of Queen of Ed land, us any
tide attached to the Hord Parody of Bnglithd. A condition is
also to be attached to this.gratit. that she is not to reside in any
part of the United •Kingdom, or drat to visit England. The
consequence of such a visit will be onimmedinte message to Par-
tiameut, and an entire acrid . to alt premise and negotiation.—
I believe that there is no other , I am sure none of any
importance. 1 think it right towel to you an extract of a letter
from Lord Liverpool to me: his words are—' It is material that
her Mpjesty should know confidentially. that if she should be so ill
advised as to come over to this country, there must then he an
end tp all negotiation and comproaiise. The decision. I may my.
is taken to proceed against her as aeon as she sets foot on the
British shore.' 1 cannot conclude this letter without my humble
though serious and sincere supplication, that her Majesty will
take these proportion, into berating palm consideratbm, and not
act witLi any !burry or precipinatinet is to impurtant a
tr subject.—

" Mr. Brougham aceordingly pieseitted the letter:
the moment her Majesty reid it, site expressed the ut-
most indignation, and appealed to Mr. Brougham fur
his opinion. That erode:him remarked, that certainly
those were not conditions which he should advise her
Majesty' to 'accept; at the Sallie time he begged her
Majesty to consider what evitiditi one she might he ',leased
to accept. Her :Majesty-best knew what was befitting
..her real situation. the Queen promptly replied—' My
determination is soon formed t I shall set out instantly
• for England—it is in London, and London alone, that
• I shall consent to consider any proposals of the King
'of England.' Her Mljesty then requested Alder tan
Wood, .whose kind assistance she had so frequently
experienced, • to. order horses to be immediately put to
the carre.stes, and to despatch a courier to prepare horses
chi the road between St. ()titer's and Calhis. She was
particularly anxious on this last point, having evidently
a very strong apprehension that the French government
might endeavour.. to .intercept, or at least retard, her
passage, to the coast by reftising 'horses. This appre-
hension will account for her Majesty's haste to leave St.
Omer's, and to put herself on board an English packet
At half past flit she left SCOmer's, in company with
Lady Ann pamiltoti: her female attendants followed
in another carriage; and a third carriage conveyed
Aldetnian Wool, his ton, and young Austin. Mr.
Brougham dig not toake:his appearance even to haad
her Majesty to her coach : it is supposed that site dis-
pensed with his attendance. Lord Hutchinson like-
wise refrained from showing himself; and thus the
the professional friend of the'Queen, and the confidential
frieiol of the King, were left behind to mingle reflections
•on the event which had
.064 taken place. It may he
proper td mention, that her Majesty was, on walking
doWo the steps of' the hotel at St. Otto r's, warmly
vetted Ly a nitinher of ladies of the first respectability,
itiiii Freileii 'and English. A Greek lady, the wife of
Mr. Cepciand, an English banker about to settle at
Paris, was ittirodoiced to her Majesty, who paid her some
complimetits on her interesting appearance.: the lady
answered in Italian, and wished her Majesty a pleasant
towage, tia.d a speedy victory over her enemies. The
Queen gave her an animated smile, and in Italian te-
noned her warm thanks for her good wishes. Nothing
particular happened between this awl her Majesty's
embarkation on board the Prince Leopold in Calais har-
bour. Though this embarkation took place it I i o'clock
