TIER MAJESTY.

On Thursday evening the Queen, acting upon
the advice of her most distinguished friends, deter-
mined to remove from the hovitable mansion of
Alderman Wood, mud to take up her residence for
the present at the house of La.ly Anne Hamilton,
22, Portman Street, Portman Square. As soon as
her Majesty's determination .v.,, the best
preparations that the shorttiess of the notice would
admit of were made at Lally Hamilton's house, and
part of her Nlajesty's wardrobe Was removed there
about nine o'cltal.
About eleven o'clock Lord Archibald Hamilton
drove up to Alderman Wood's door in his own car-
riage, and requested leave to have an interview
with her Majesty, which was immediately granted,
and his Lordship communicated to her Majesty that
the house in Portman street was prepared for her
reception.—The Queen also condescended to consult
with the Noble Lord us to the Lest motie of removing.
Lord l !initiate' quitted the house at a little Wore
twelve o'clitek, and Lbeitt hall past twelve the
Queen, accompanied by Lady Anne Hatnilton, and
one or two attendants, left the house by the back
door through the garden, and entered a private car-
riage in waiting in Park Street, whence she pro-
ceeded to Portman Street, thus wisely avoiding the
riot and confusion that. must • hove ensued, had the
mob been apprised of her intention, or had they
seen her have the house.

the crowd assembled as usual on Friday morning in
in South Audiey Street, but a whisper was soon
circulated that the Queen was gone, and many went.
away. A g eat number, however. remained and
seemed to be of opinion that the report was circu-
lated to induce the people to disperse. Some of
these wiseacres priding themselves upon their su-
perior sagacity,' remained in the street until about
two or three o'clock, at whielt time Alderman
Wood's Emily returned to the hous.•, and the cur-
tain's were undrawn. Then the majority of the
gazers reluctantly departed, many of them posting
WI to Portman Street.

Friday, add the answer was the same us on the
former days. that .!‘ the Qaeen was perfectly well."

The communication from the Queen to Lord
Liverpool, which was delivered on Friday by Mr.
Denman, and to which Lord Castlereagh adverted
that night in the House of Commons was, we un-

that she is ready to receive any proposition that is
consistent with her honour, which his Lordship may
