The Ministers of the great Powers continue their con-

erence

The Party Writers are amusing themselves

with assertions and surmises, respecting the in-

tentious" of Ministers, to instittite new proceed:-
ings against THE QUEEN, now that their abuse
of the late proceedings begins to lie too stalk',
hackneyed and familiar to excite any thing but
disgust in all rational men, whether favourable
or adverse to HER MAJESTY. The Government
of flanover is reviled by these Gentlemen by an-

ticipation, and it is cautioned against lending it-
self to any measures which Ministers may here=
after adopt on this painful business. We do
not pretend to be in the confidence of Ministersi
but from what We have heard, it is by no means
probable that any measures which the lianove
ria.n Government may adopt will at all re:ate to
the grounds of the former proceedings against
HER MAJ ESTY.

It appears by letters rect4ved -this morning
from the North, that the high Sheriff of NorC.-,-
umberland has refused to call a County Meeting
cc to take into consideration the recent Proceed-
ings in Parliament against the QUEEN, and t,)
present an Address to hiss MAJ-EstY similar to
that which was recently adopted in the County
of_Durharn."—SirCuA IMES MONGK, Bart., weitcl
on Mr. CLARK, the High Sheriff, on Wednesda 7
last, with the Requisition, when the latter imme-
diately informed him that he did not feel himself
warranted in acceding to the wishes of the Gentle-
men who had signed the Requisition ; amongst
whom, we understand, are- the Earls GREV,
TANKERYILLE, and OsstiLsTos ; Sir J. SWIS-
BURN, Sir C. MONCK, Mr. LAMRTON, Mr.
BeAumoNT, and about forty others.--Mr. CLAitK.
will doubtlessly be attacked with all the vio-
lence and spleen of the Faction ; but the firm-
ness of his mind, and the high respectability of
his character, will render him indifferent to Party
clamour, from a consciousness of having fearlessly
and uprightly discharged his duty to his Sove-
reign and to his Country.

BVONAPARTE, &c.—The -letters from St He-
lena reach down to the recent date of the 7th of
November, at which period BugN.k PARTE enjoyed
good health, although it has been reported for
several weeks (on the authorityladvices, bath
direct and indirect) that he traseriously indis-
posed; heis,however,- frequently\wbject to fits
of despondency, which -last for *lle days to-
gether, when he remains secluded as. well from
his friends as from visitors. 'The circuit to which
the Ex-Emperor was formerly limitod has re-.
cently been extended., and he is permitted to
ride and walk in a space of not less than fourteen
miles. The advices add, that. several British
Officers• bad been allowed interviews with him,
aid particularly. General Doyy.-rox, who co►t .

period. Ills 3lajesty's ships Glendower and
Shearwater arrived at St. Helena on the 23d of
October, and sailed again on the '2d of November
for' the South American station. The Brazen
sloop of war sailed on the same 'day for the Cape
of Good hope. American merchant vessels fre-;
quently arrived in the offing, and the masters o,
them continued to manifest a considerable degree
of dissatisfaction on bang ordered, by the Britisn
Admiral on the station,.not to approach too neaf
shore.
