[FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.]

[Morning Chronicle.]
It is reported that the Duke of Welling ton is to
be offered the command of the •army in. the Ne-
therlands:, composed of Prusiiarys, Dutch, and, it
is believed, Russians. It will be rememberesl, that
we allowed by Treaty 75,0001, of the French con-
tributions to strengthen the Dutch.fron•ier. Tour-
nay, Mons, and other fortresses, were to be
placed in a state of pet fect repair, and estial to
resist 'open trenches. We are. intormedwiThre-
spect to t he' application of thissktin, that the out-
works of Mons are scarcely half completed, and-
t that Tout nay could snake no resistance against a
corps without artillery. We Dame these places,
because they are the most important, and con
secineatly most likely to arrest attention.

" Kew, Eight o'Cloiih, Nov. G.
" The Qieen, we nre sorry to say, experienced
another aleirrning attack last night.

• " The Prince Regent was about to return to
town soon after ten o'clock, but her Majesty grew
so materially worse that his Royal Highness
lengthened his stay, and waited an alteration wit
the utmost anxiety. Both the Physicians were
in attendance, and also Mr. Brande. Her Majesty
suffered dread ully from the violence of her cough,
and great apprehensions -were entertained lest the
agitation it occasioned should induce those alarm-
ing spasms to which her Majesty has, of late, been:
so subject. Her Majesty was also greatly dis-
tiessed by painful tension on the side, a symptom
that is invariably brought on. by paroxysms of.
coughing, and is often so intense, as to cause'
extreme, difficulty of respiration. For an hour
or two, she laboured under, these symptoms in:
great pain ; tit, at length, by the free use
of the warm bath for the extremities, and topi-
cal foment ations, ,the irritation subsided, and the'
Royal Sufferer, alarmingly exhausted, gradually
sunk into' that almost unconscious state, which
has uniformly succeeded these attacks. During:
the paroxysm, a report was made to the Prince
Regent, every half hour ; and about midnight his
'Royal Highness, after conferring with the Phy-
sicians, took leave of the Princesses, and set out
o❑ his return to Carlton-house. Throughont tl►e:
remainder of the night her Majesty had frequent;
but ►ess violent attacks.

" During the day hourly dispatches were sent to
the Prince by grooms of the Royal Establishment;
relieved occasionally by orderly men of the 19th
Lancers.•

" Up to a late honr, her Majesty remained
dreadfully exhausted, and in great pain.
The Prince Regent has not visited her Ma-
jesty to-night ; but his Royal Highness sent an
express to receive the last report for the evening
from the Physicians."

[The `Times.]
A meeting, we perceive, has taken place at
Rochester, the object of which is to make out
Lord Binning's election for that Borough illegal,
on account of his Lordship's being the eldest son of
a Scotch Peer. The meeting appears to us to have
been wholly in error upon this 'point. The eldest
son of a Scotch Peer was ineligible to represent a
Scotch borough in the Parliament Of that king-
dom; and by an Act passed in the Parliament of
Scotland, %vhich is recited and ratified by the
Act of Union, sth of Queen Anne, cit. 8. see.
12., it is enacted, that none shall be capable
of representing a Scotch borough in the British
Parliament, %vl►o was not before capable of re-
presenting it in that of Scotland. Hence the.
eldest sot► of a Scotch Peer cannot represent a
Scotch shire or burgh ; but there- is no law to,
disqualify him from sitting for an English shire or
borough. See Hassell, vol. ii, p. IS, text and
notes :—" 'This question,'' he says, "is now set
at rest." It is futile, therefore, in the electors
Of Rochester to try to distUrb it.

It is reported that great alterations are, about
to rake place in the operative departments
of the Court of King's Bench. The Honour-
able Mr. Law, son of Lord Ellenborongh, is to be
removed from his situation 6f Clerk at Nisi Print,
to make way for a son of the new Chief Justice ;
and the Secretary, whose situation has hot
hitherto been considered us contingent upon
the person of the first Judge of the Court, is also
to be displaced, to make way for a dependant of
the new Chief Justice.—(lbid.)
