MONDAY. JUNE 5

Thursday another Messenger arrived with letters
f:om the Queen, and had an interview with Mr.
Brougham in the Serjeant at Arms' room in the
House of Lords. Her Majesty reached Ville Neuve
sur Yonne, which is about seventy miles from Dijon,
on Monday morning, at three o'clock. From thence
her Majesty dispatched a Courier with letters to
his Royal Highness the Duke of York, Lord Li.
verpool, and Lord Melville. In the letter to Lord
Liverpool, her Majesty has requested his Lordship
to inform her what residence is prepared in England
for her reception ; and in her Majesty's letter to
Lord Melville, she requests that his Lordship will
send a yacht to Dover this day, to be in readiness
to proceed I,t) Calais to convey her to England. It
is thus evident the Queen intends coming to this
country imnsqdiately. On this and other matters
respecting her Majesty, there are many vague and
contradictory stinsours in circulation, we have only
to observe, for the information of the public, that
what we have stated is the latest authentic intelli-
gence that has been received from the Queen.

We have received New York Papers to the 29th
of Aprib.and Boston Journals to the Ist ultimo.—
The Baltimore Patriot states, on the authority of a
letter from Washington, that the negociation respect-
ing the Floridas has terminated, and in a manner so
unsatisfactory, that the Spanish Minister was to
leave the capital in a few days. New York Papers,
however, of the 27th of April, assert, on the con-
trary, that just as the Senate was about adjourning,
a message was received from the President of the
United States, in which was enclesedthe treaty with
Spain, as ratified by the Spanish Government ; that
the Senate adjourned without making any order on
the subject. It was, however, expected to be the
first business brought forward on the following day.
The matter at present rests entirely on report, but
the next New York Papers that arrive will furnish
us with the fact.

Wednesday being the day named by the
the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lord Liver-
pool, for filling up the lists for Exchequer Bills to
the amount of £7000,000, a considerable number
of persons were collected round the doors of the
Bank before they were opened, anxious to realise
the considerable profit attached to this kind of spe-
culation. At ten o'clock the door was opened,
'and the throng was so great, and all were so eager
to gain admittance that the doors of the chief Ca-
shier's office were actually forced off their hinges, and
the lists were immediately completed. Exchequer
bills have in consequence fallen considerably, but it
has had no effect upon Consols.

MR. HUNT.-..-Mr. Hunt has addressed a letter
to the Reformers of England, Ireland, and Scotland,
dated from Ilchester Gaol, in the County of Somer-
set, May iB, 1820. Having stated his arrival at
the place of his destination, and the spirit with
which he continues to be animate& he observes,—
" It is a ctiriota, coincidence, and deserves to be
recorded, that during the early part of the protec-
torate, one of my forefathers, Colonel Thomas Hunt,
was imprisoned in this very gum, and here sentenced
to be hanged. drawn, and quartered fur having

It appears, was more humane than 1.01110 of his suc-
