The Queen has found much benefit frau a ewe!),
which has been made under the direction of the Prince
Regent, and was sent down to Kew, on Wednesday
night. It is so contrived, that it can be used either in
an upright sitting posture, with complete support fa.
every part of the body, or it can be gradually incline
by machinery, to ally degree of recumbency, without ;t
perceptible motion to the patient. Her Majesty slept,
in it, on Wednesday night, and enjoyed a more refresh-
ing sleep than had been expected.
Up to eight o'clock, on Friday evening, ro change
had taken place. Her Majesty remained free front any
violent symptom of her complaint, and, compared with
the prxeding week, certainly in a much more favourable
state. The Duke of York arrived from the Horse
Guards, and the Prince Regent from !tampion Court,
ahoitt six o'clock ; and, after visiting her Maj.-sty, they
dined with the Princessc Jlr. Keate, and Mr. Brandt.,
of Arlington-strcet,who furnishes the medicines flit the
use of her Majesty, were both in attendance with Sir'
Francis Millman, on Thursday night, and slept at the
Palace. Sir Henry lialibrd returned from Windsor
Castle about three o'clock on Friday, and, we under-
stand, left the Princess Sophia in at very indifferent
state of health. Her Royal Highness has been evi-
dently iLelining ever since the death of the Princess
Charlotte.

FRENCH PAPERS.

PARK, SrpT.B,

A dreadful fire broke out on the Ist instant in the commune
of (Ent, near St.-Pol (Pas de Calais), winch destroyed 39
in,es, five large farms, the church, and the chateau. A man
in endeavouring to save a female, who had descended
in'o her cellar, perished with her. Five children arc missing,
who are supposed also to have been burnt to death. Several
persons were ranch wounded or burnt, and some of (Item dan-
croi sty. The progi CAS of the flames as as so rapid that nei-
ther fidniture nor the produce of the harvest could be saved.
The damage is estimated at upwards of ZiOO.oooftants.
Mr. %MU, }talker, the English Consul•general at Aleppo,
arrived at Ala: mei.le4 the 29th nit. with all his family, on his
way to Eng:and. He has with him II Arabian hoist's, the
beatify of whose figures excites general admiration.
Intelligence has been received that the plague is making
terribly ravages at Scutari, in Albania. From 130 to 150 men
ti:e flirt e every day. Severe orders of quarantine have been
issued along the coasts of the Ailiiatic.
The garrison of Aix-la•Chapelle, during the continuance of
vie conferences, will consist of 4,030 turn.
Lady NO! g:an is now in Paris. This second journey will,
no doubt, iu some months, produce sonic new letters, wherein
we shall be paid for our hospitality in the Caine coin as we
tarinerly received. We must expect again to see some very
superficial and sometimes some very absurd opinions upon
our manners, our society, our theatres, and our literature ;
•together with sundry epigrams against the most distinguished
persons, who, after having opened their saloons to this cele-
brated traveller, will h tee the pleasure of subsequently
seeing their names and conversations circulated throughout
Europe, whit variations and some little instructive annota-
tions. The experience we have already had should justify
WNW precautions in limn e.
Mr. Baring, the London banker,wito has for some time past
been in Paris, left this capital on the 4th instant, on a journey
to Holland ;•from thence he will proceed to Aix-la_eltapelle.

The field rats are soexceedingly multiplied incertain coun-
tries, in consequence of the great dryness of the season, that,
for the purpose of checking the ravages of these animals, it has
been prescribed by es cry proprietor in the environs otLandan
to deliver daily twelve rats for each florin he has to par in
direct taxes. We are assured that the single village of Off en-
inch has delivered within three days, in execution of this
order, 47,300 rats. A single vender of poison for rats has
sold in two months SOOlbs. weight. The proprietors of vine-
yards are particularly apprehensive lest these animals should
get among their vines, when the grapes begin to ripen.
'Fbere appears iu the A-Ha:it del Giorno a very extraordi-
nary advertisement. M. Jean Bruner, a painter of decoras
tions, engineer, and architect,: native of Bologna, and esta-
blished at Ancona ,undertakes to transpo, t towers, churches, and
palaces, all entire, /cons one place. to another, wherever the ope.
ration can be made on a plain out face. For example, lie will
displace the tower of St. Marc at Venice, and set itdown either
helot( the ducal palace, or the exchange. He attempts to re-
duce streets and places to regularity without doing the least
injury to the edifices. Finally he offers to suspend whatever
part of an edifice may be desired—to raise the entire building
a story, or to add to it a new row of pillars. The Roman
journalist dues not find these propositions altogether
absurd. He even cites some examples of operations of
this description ;among others' a steeple which was removed
from one spot to another, at Crescentino, near 'Vercelli, in
1776.
