FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
[Morning Herald.] .
THE QUEEN.

There can he little doubt that the affairs of this
Illustrious Personage are, at length, fast ap-
proaching to a crisis. We learn, trom an authority
,or which we have the highest respect, that on
Finlay last, slim., ly after the King had- arrived at
the Palace of Carlton -House front Brighton, 'a
Noble Earl, who was alWays high in the- confi-
dence of the Princess Charlotte, on'this delicate
and distressing snbject, was summoned to 'the
Royal presence. The Noble Earl repaired to,the
Palace immediately, and had a private audience of
his Majesty, of several hours duration ; and ,the
result has been, that his Lordship set out for the
Continent on Monday last.

THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS.

From Lancashire, as well as Yorkshire, it h
continued to be stated that a widely ramified in-
surrection had been projected, extending not only
to Nottinghamshire and various other counties;
but to the manufacturing districts of Scdtland:-L
The whole were reported to be acting in concert

ried on by means of travelling delegates, of whom
a great number hiid been dispatched to every quart•
ter, in order to prepare a gent;ral rising of the
disaffected. On the •ti'hole, there appears' to'be
sufficii-nt evidence of the existence oe a connected
conspiracy ; besides which, a strong presumption
is afforded of an intended general simultaneous
movement, which the vigilance of the Magistracy
and the firmness of the Military alone prevented
taking place. We are happy to add, that the Civil
and Military Authorities throughout Yorkshire
and Lancashire, being well informed' respecting
the designs of the disaffected, continue to • make
the most effectual preparations to frustrate them.'
Not only are the regular troops, both cavalry and;
infantry, kept in readiness clay and night, hitt the
Yeomanry have received orders to keep themselves
in readiness to move at a moment's notice. The
Regulars, in the manufacturing places in York.
shire, have slept on their arms ever since the 30th
of last month. We may thus hope, hot only that
the designs of the mischievous (though still -en-
couraged by the factious and seditious Press),
will be effe,-tually frustrated, but that the neces-
sity will be left of devising some means to prevent
the recurrence of such alarming proceedings on
the part of the Radical Rebels.

There is no fonndeion for the reports attempted
to be circukted ot an intention on the part of the
Chancellor at the Exchequer to propose an In-
come Tax as a part of the Ways and Means for
the present year.—(ibid.)

so unsparingly scattered upon it by party, during
his long and tumultuous reign. Alluding to the
Monarch's private feelings on political subjects,'
our Alrbar says—
" There is nothing so difficult, perhaps,. fora
Monarch as the choice of friends\and Ministers st
his accession. In this choice his Mkajeazy was, in
many instances. happy ; though the violent clash
and conciv.siato of pArtieS, Wilieh soon after sue-
ceetled, tended to excite strong prejudices amongs•
,the itishqr; in general, agaii•st several very able al.d
efficilint Arnongst these was the late
Load LivattPooL, then Mr. JsNittssog, about 9
years older,. than the yonthhil Monarch ; whose
zeal, attachment, and talents, were already well
known to his 'Majesty, and placed their possessor
in the most consl'icnons situation amidst the corU-
petitors.for royal favour.

" This Gentleman first started into public no-
ice as the author of verses on the demise of Fre-
lerick Prince of Wales ; and it is said that these

lines made a very serious impression upon -the
pious mind of the juvenile heir apparent, to whom
he was introduced by the then Earl of -Harcourt,
and to whom Am was known not only• by his ta-
lents, but also from his family connexions....
" This recommendation was pitied by the King's
own feelings and discrimination, not only intro-
ducing Mr. Jenkinson to high official 'situation's,
but also to a considerable share of the public at-
tention; as a tollower of-Lord Bute, upon whose
'retirement from office his Majesty refused to part
with Mr. Jenkinson, and accordingly took care;
that lie, should be placed in a sintation, which,
whilst it preserved the connexion, would render
lin the object of his 11E04 immediate protec-

With this view, Mr. Jenkinson_was appoint-
ed ii-ostitor of accounts to the Princess Dowager.;
in which situation he cnuH not fail to °broil-) her

Royal Highness's confidence.; indeed, he served
her so gratuitously, that at her' demise he refused
to accept of any'remuneration whatever for his
sorvices. Thfs disinterested conduct attached the'
King more strongly to him ; nor did his Malestv

which time the Coalition Ministry was still in

associated. The • 'greatest exertions were then
made by the majority of the cabinet to procure.a
yeady settle.ment for hit Royal Highness of one
inoiclred thousand pounds ; htit this war opposed

assigned as his reason, that as' inexperienced

fort, virtue, or dignity. In proportion, fp,w-
ever, as the Sovt're;gu was firmly bent upon con.
senring only to a moderate'establishment, so were
the persons who 'called themselves the friends of
'the Prince resolved to carry their•poinc for the
magni6cenr'settlement vet.ich they. had pro-
jected.
" When things were driven to an extremity
that almost approximated to a change of admii•is-
tration, Ihe Prince intvrposed, and insisted, with

that rid farther misunderstanding should subsist

'servatiOns respecting' another of his Majesty's
Sons, and now' next to the Throne. IVe linve

•quainted with Circumstances, even beyond wh,l he

collected that his Majesty's anxiety at this petiod
was numb excited by the investigation and discus-
sions upon, the conduct.of the Roya.l.Commander-
in.chler, which occupied so much of the time 9f
the House of Commons, and of, the attention of
the country at.hrge.

Ilis. parental feeling_s were, however, folly
gratified by the clear acquittal frOm ail personal

Author's finale, in summing np his very interest-

tide, Englishmen maintained a contest tor human
