LON DON,

THURSDAY, Novas's' 19, IBM

We have endeavoured to collect • variety
of particulars respecting the deceased QUEEN.
Her MAJESTY'S Council assembled yesterday at
the Treasury Chambers, Whitehall, to delibe-
rate on the immediate consequences of her de-
mise. as far as it respects the care of her vene-
rable Consort's person. The Members present
were, his Grace the Archbishop Of CANTERBURY,
the Marquis of CHOLMOKDBLEY, the Bishop of
LONDON, the LOAD CIIIEF BARON, Lord ST.
HELENS, and Sir WILLIAM SCOTT. With this
Council the care of the KING resides until the
meeting of Parliament, which will of course be
summoned with all convenient dispatch. Both
Houses now stand prorogued to the 29th of De.
ember, but their prorogation will in all likelihood,
be still further extended until the second week in
January. Some time will be occupied in swearing
the Members, appointing the SPEAKER, officer%
Standing Committees. and Committees of Elec-
tions ; but the first regular proceeding of Perlis-
inent will of course have reference to the interest-
ing situation of his MAJLITY. The care, of bis
sacred person will be the primary consideration,
but the opportunity will not, we trust, be omitted,
of inquiring into the expediency of effecting a very
considerable ►etrenchment In the Windsor establish-
ment. In the unhappy condition to which the KING
is reduced, nothing more can be desired for him
than en assurance of every convenience and atten-
tion that can render his unhappy situation as
comfortable as possible. To support the pageantry
of state, and continue The observance of court
etiquette in a place where every circumstance
offers a humiliating instance of human infirmity.
is but • mockery of grandeur, and seems rather
to heap insult upon the Royal sufferer than to afford
consolation to his sorrows. The extent of the
Windsor establishment was originally regulated by
a reference to the possibility of his MAJESTY'S reco-
very, and the considerate delicacy of Parliament
could not endure that un that happy event he should
be induced to entertain a belief that he had been
neglected in his calamity, or had been rudely de-
spoiled of the robe of Royalty. This -hope.
however, has long since vanished, and every
consideration of propriety should induce Parlia-
ment to terminate an enormous expenditure un-
suited to his MAJESTY'S situation. and incon-
sistent with the financial embarrassments of the

country. Let his MAJESTY continue to receive every
comfort and attention, and every indulgence it is
possible for him to enjoy ; but let it not be suffered
that the mistaken generosity of the nation should
be converted to other purposes than those which
were contemplated in the original grant. Who
;does not believe that an annual sum of 30,000,
I would be quite sufficient to provide the K tea with
levery circumstance suited to his means of enjoy.

We have received a Buenos Ares Gazette of the

article of intelligence:—
" On the 26th of August arrived at Ensenada
the Spanish ship Trinidad, which ves►el formed
pad of an expedition of tea transports, under con-
voy of the Spanish frigate Muria Isabel, of 50
guns, bound to Lima.
The troops on board the Trinidad rose upon
'the officers, of whom they killed six and threw
them overboard; alter which, they obtained pos.
notion of the ship. It appears that the plot of the
insurrection was laid in Cadiz, previous to their
departure, ■nd having parted from the convoy in
lat. 5. N. and crossed the Line, they ►truck the
blow on the 25th of July. There were on board
the Trinidad 200 soldiers, exclusive of the ship's
crew and officers.

" The Buenos Ayres Government had determin-
ed to receive them in a friendly manner.
" The whole expedition consisted of ‘2,0110 men.
of which 300 were cavalry."
