THE QUEELN'S ARRIVAL.

The following ore some interesang facts rela-
tive to her MAJasTY's departure from France, and
ter arrival at Dover:—

" CALMS, SUNDAY, Twelve o'Clock at Night.

" The QUEEN and Lady ANNE HAMILTON have
been on board the Prince Leopold packet ever
since half-past nine o'clock, and are now sleep-
ing in the harbour, as the vessel cannot put to
sea till the tide rises. About half an hour ago
Alderman Vt'ood, and two persons Who seemed

to be domestics, went on boatel and took posses

sioo of the Turtle! cabin.

The car►iages are a

placed in another packet. The deciiiive vet) he.
ing thus -taken, it will he intereving to state the
events awl motives vvisi.ch fi ppear to have le I to it.

" ?Ir. Brougham, as I told you a former
letter, set off on Friday ifternocto from Dover,
company wit.h Lord llotddilSoll ; they reached
Crtikues. in a fvtv hours, and on Fii !ay m 'ruing

proceeded to St, °wet's. Alr Brougham, as
vrtll known, went professionally as the adviser of
the Q•►een ; Lotd Hutchinson as the friend of the

King, and the bearer of proposals from his Ma
jesty as well as from the Government. As soon
as (hey arrived, they were introduced to her
Jetty, who was attended by Lady A. Han►ilton,
and took coffee with her. Lord Hotchioson,
with coniiderable mgitati to in his manner, briefly

announced the proposals of ‘shich he was the
bearer. The Queen expressed great indignation,
but, before she gave her final answer, desired to
see the proposals stated at length and in duclorrn
in writing. Lord Hutchinson replied, that at
present he had merely some memoranda on scraps
of paper, but that he would reduce them to form.
previous to the next meeting : her Majesty then
appointed the next morning (Sunday) for the se-
cond interview : his Lordship, at the stated time,
Waited upoa her Majesty, and in her presence,
and in the hearing of Mr. Brougham, made the
following proposals in farm

" That her Majesty should renounce all right, title, and
.claim, to the name, dignity, and honours of Queen of Eng-
land, and should ,from henceforward he styled and considered
simply as Princess Caroline of Brunswick :

" That her Majesty should agree never to put her foot
in England, or in any part of the British Dominions; that,
should she comply will) these conditions, an income of
50,000/. a rear should be settled upon her, which she might
enjoy without molestation : should she refuse, criminal pro-
ceedings would be instituted against her afresh, and the se-
Terest penalties might be expected!

" The Queen read the proposals deliberately:
she then promptly and•decidedly expressed tier
indignation and disgust, and directed immediate
preparations to be made for her passage to Eng-
land. Mr. Brougham,,,whose opinion was asked,
is said neither to have recommended the adoption
nor the rejection of the proposals. His remark
wag, that her Majesty was the best judge of the
teal state of her case, and that it was for her to
decide what was best and most consistent with
that knowledge. Her Majesty did decide : she
sent off couriers immediately to prepare horses on
the road to Calais, and the packet to convey ber
to Dower. Nay,- with so determined a spirit was
she animated, that she declared that, rather than
delay her voyage, she would put to sea in an open
boat. Aud accordingly, as soon as the prepare•
dons were completed, her Majesty left St. Otner's,
and never stopped till she embarked on board the
English packet. Mr. Brougham did not attend
ber Majesty even to the coach-door, nor did he
follow her : he remains with Lord Hutchinson at
St. Omer's. From this circumstance it•may per-
baps be inferred that some difference of opinion
exists between ber Majesty and her legal adviser,
and that she has preferred the advice of Alderman
Wood. We know not how this may be, but we
feel assured that Mr. Brougham could have been
no party to the proposals which we have enume-
rated : his acute mind must
.have seen that, put-
dug all views of insult and degradation out of the
question, if her Majesty was guilty of the offences
imputed to her, she lied no right to receive' fifty
thousand pounds' annually from a generous hot
burdened people ; if she was innocent, then no
human being bad the right to call upon her to
renounce her claim to her just titles, privileges,
and dignity. If, therefore, any difference of opi-
nion exists between the Queen and Mr. Biougham,
it can scarcely be on the broad question of the re-
jection or adoption of the proposals brought by
Lord Hutchinson. In justice to Mr. Brougham
it must likewise be observed, that Lord Hutchin-
son, though his fellow-traveller, never disclosed
hit message, even in substance, till he came into
tl►e presence of the Qoeen. Lord Hutchinson,
at both interviews. with her Majesty, particularly
at the last, was so agitated as to be scarcely able
to, articulate. Her Majesty was high•spirited,
firm, and decisive."

" DOVER, MoNo ‘y, Two o'Clocli, p.
" HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND.

" Before J proceed to the narrative of this
important tvent, 1 wish to correct two or three

trifling inaccuracies in my former statement, dared
Calais. It seems that when Mr. Brougham kind
Lore Hutchinson first arrived in St• Omer's on
Saturday evening, Brougham. was 6rst ityro-
(limed to her Majesty, who was taking coffee
after a few complimentary observations on both
sides, Mr. Brougham announced to the Queen
that Lord Hutchinson, who had formerly been a
warm friend of her Maiesty, and who was now a
confidential frie74(l of the King, had come in the

spit it of sincere friendship to both, to make some
proposals in his Majesty's name. The Queen im-
mediately answered that she should be most happy
to see Lord Iln,chittson forthwith : his Lordship
seas accordingly introdtreed, and took coffee with
her Majesty, who conversed on different topics,
till his Lordship rose to go away, when her Ma-
jesty said, that as she understood he had sortie
proposals to make to her from the. King, she
should wish to see them in writing, and without
delay. In consequence of this request, Loral
Hutchinson wrote the following letter to Mr.
Brougham es the official adviser of her Majesty:
,sie--In obedience to the commands of the Queen I
have to inform you, that I am not in possession of any propo-
sition or propositions detailed in a specific form of words which
I could lay before her Majesty; but lean detail to you fur her
information the substance of many conversations held with
Lord Liverpool. His Majesty's' Ministers propose that
50,0001. pet annum should be settled
,on the Queen for life,
subject to such conditions as
.the King may impose. I hay::
also reason to know that the conditions likely to be imposed
by his Majesty are, that the Queen is not to assume the style
and title of Queen of England, or any title attached to the
Royal Family of England. A condition is also to be attached
to this grant, that she is not to reside in any part of the
United Kingdom, or even to visit England. The consequence
of such a visit will be an immediate Message to Parliament,
and an entire end to all compromise and negociation. I be-
lieve that there is no other• condition, I am sore none of any
importance. I think it right to send to you an extract of, a
Letter from Lord Liverpool to me his words are—' It is ma-
terial that her Majesty should know confidentially, that if she
shall be so ill advised as to come over to this country, there
..must then be an end to all negociation and compromise.—
Toe decision, I may say, is taken to proceed against
her as soon as she sets her foot on the British shore. I
cannot conclude this letter without my humble, though se-
rious and sincere supplication, that her-Majesty will take
these propositions into her most calm consideration, and not
act with any hurry or participation on it, important a subject.
I hope that my advice will nut be misinterpreted. I can hare
no possible interest which would induce me to give fal-
lacious counsel to the Queen. But let the event be what it
may, I shalt console myself with the reflection that I have
performed a painful duty imposed upon me to the best of
my judgment and conscience, and in a case in the decision
of which the King, the Queen, the Government, and the
People of England are materially interested. Having done
so, I fear neither obloquy nor misrepresentation., I certainly
should not hare wished to hare brought natters to so preci-
pitate a conclasion, but it is her Majesty's deciiioir and not
mina. I am conscious that I have performed my duty to-

wards her with every possible degree of feeling and delicacy.

I have been obliged to make use of your brother's band, as
I write:with pain and difficulty, and the Queen has refused
to give any, earn the shortest, delay.

" ' I have the honour to be, Sir,
d. d With great-regard,
" Your most obedient bgAlble-Sarant,
" HUTLHINSON!

" Mr. Brougham accordingly presented the
letter; the moment her Majesty read it, eke ex-
pressed the utmost indignation, and appealed to
Mr. Brougham (or his opinion. 'fkat gentlemen

remarked, that. certainly those were . not condi-
tions which he should advise her Majesty to
accept ;, at the same time he begged her Majesty
to consider what-conditions she might be pleas-
ed to accept. Her Majesty best knew what
was befitting her real situation. The Queen
promptly replied—' My deterMination is soon
' formed : 1. shall set out instantly for England—.
• it is in .London,and London alone, that 1 shall

` consent to consider any proposals of the King of
England.' Her Majesty then requested Alderman
Wood, whose kind assistance she had hitherto
so frequently experienced, to order horses to be
immediately put to the carriages, and to despatch
a conrier to prepare horses on the road between
St. Omer's nod Calais. She tuns particularly
anxious on this last point, having evidently a very
strong apprehension that the French Government
might endeavour to intercept, or at least retard,
her passage to the coast by refusing horses. This
apprehension will account for her Majesty's haste
to leave St. Omer's, and to put herself on board
an English packet. At half past five she left St.
Omer's, in company with Lady Anne Hamilton :
her female attendants followed its another car-
riage, and a third carriage conveyed Alderman
Wood, his son, and young Austin. Mr. Brougham
did not make his appearance even to hand her Ma-
jesty to her coach : it is supposed that she diverts-
ed with his attendance. Lord Hutchinson like-
wise refrained front showing himself; and thus the
professional friend of the Qireen, and the confiden-
tial friend of the King, were behind to mingle
reflections on the event which bad just taken place.
It may be proper to mention, that her Majesty
was, on walking down the steps of the hotel at St.
.‘
Outer's, warmly greeted by a great nlitnAer 0f
Ladies of the fi:sr respectability, bosh French
and English. A Greek Lady, the wife of Mr.
Copeland, an English banker about to settle
at Paris, was introduced to her Majesty, who
paid her some compliments on her interesting
appearance the Lady answered in Italian, and
wished her Majesty a pleasant voyage, and a speedy
victory over her enemies. Cbeen gave her
an animated smile, and in Italian returned her
warm thanks for her good wishes. Nothing par-
ticular happened between this and her Majesty's
embark atioo on boartl the Prince Leopold in
harbour. Though this embarkation took place
at eleven o'clock on Sunday night, it was not till
six o'clock this morning that the vessel could work
out of the harbour. Unfortunately, the wind be.
lug due west for several hours prevented the

a 1 acket from making any way, but about e:even
O'clock a breeze sprung op. from the south, and
very speedily brought the Queen of England near
her own shores. Though the voyage was mhos's,
her Majesty did not suffer any inconvenience from
sea-sickness, but remained on deck, conversing
chiefly on •the present political condition of this
country.
" In the mean time, certain intelligence had
been received at Dover of her Majesty's approach,
and some confusion seemed to exist among the
military authorities as to the mode of receiving
her Majesty. At last Colonel Monroe, who is
the Commandant of the garrison, determined to
receive her Majesty with a Itliyal,S.llllte : he oh..
served, as we are informed, that as no special
instructions had been sent to him, he conceived
that he should best discharge his duty by obeying
the general rule, which was to fire a Itoyal Sa-
' hue whenever a Royal Personage ;tinder, at Dover.
This sensible decision gave great satisfaction to
the people of Dover, who were already flock-
ing in vast numbers, and all dressed as if ior a teas,
in order to view the disembaikation of their Queen.
The packet at about a quarter before one came dose
into the roads, bin on account of the tide could
not enter the harbour. Her Majesty, with liar
usual promptitude, as soon as sheamderstood that
it would be five'O'clock hefOre the vessel could
get int.o- the pier, determinecl to go to shore in
an open- bear, though the swell of the water was•
so considerable as to make it difficult to deicend
the ship's side. At length, 'however, her Majeary
and sidle—were-safely placed in the boat, w,hich
rapidly approached the shore, amidst the most
enthusiastic cheerings, from the countless multi-
!aide on the beach, the heights, and all the avenues
leading to the principal hotel.
" At one, o'clock her Majesty put her foot on
British ground : the Royal salute began to fire,
and • an universal shout •of congratulation wel-
comed her arrival. For a few moments her coun-
tenance and manner bespoke considerable agita•
tion : she was visibly affected by the cordial symp-
toois of regard which welcomed her home ; but
she soon recovered herself, and with a firm step,
a composed manlier, and a smiling but steady
countenance, walked slowly along the crowded
ranks of the principal inhabitants. Well-dressed
females, young and old, saluted her as she passed
with exclamations of God bless her ; she has a
noble spirit ; she must be innocent.' The Qiieen
returned the salutations with the warmest marks
of affectionate pleasure, and repeatedly thanked
the ladies fear their expressions of cordial attack-
ment. She appeared in good health, her blue
eyes shining with peculiar lustre, but her cheeki
had the appearance of a lung intimacy with care
and anxiety. She is not so much enbnn-
point as formerly, and her manner and figure
altogether seemed perfectly befitting her exalted
station. She was dressed with great elegance. As
she moved along, the crowd gathered so fast, and
pressed so. closely around her, that she was com-
pelled to take refuge in the York Hotel. Mr.
Wriabt, of the -Ship Hotel, seeing :hat it would
be impossible far her Majesty to reach his house
on foot, immediately dispatched a handsome open
carriage to the -York. Her Majesty, Lady Ha-
milton, and Alderman Wood ascended the Car-
riage ; the populace removed the horses, and
drew it themselves. A band of music preceded
her Majesty, and two large flags,- bearing thein-
seription of " God save Queen Caroline," were
carried ;by"sotne of the principal tradesmen. A
guard of honour was placed at the door of the
hotel, bin the people did not seem to relish their
appearance, and the,Queen observing to Alderman
Wood that their presence appeared rather to produce
an unpleasant and aegryfeeling,the worthy Alde-
rman suggested the propriety of their going away.
After playing "God save the King" the soldiers re.
tired, and the populace seemed highly delighted. Her
Majesty observed, that although site appreciated
as it deserved the attentions of the Commandant,
yet that she wanted no_ guard of soldiers ; her
firm reliance was on the just principles and cot.
dial attachment•of her people. Her Majesty then
went to the principal window of. the hotel, and
bowed several tines with great grace and sweet-
neis of Manner to the happy assethblage. She
then retired, and first taking a slight refresh..
ment, lay . down to test after Abe harassing
fatigues of body and mind which she had
undergone. At five o'clock she awoke, and de-
sired that the carriages', which she now under-
stood bad been brought on shore, should be
speedily got ready, as she would set off for Canter-
bury that evening, end if poisible reach Sitting-
bOurne to sleep. At half-past five o'clock the
writer of this letter left. Dover ; . the Queen. was
then expected to leave the town at 6. The road
from Dover to Canterbury was crowded %% HI
people ; indeed `the whole population of the latter
town were out in the streets to greet her Majesty.
The General in command (we believe Gibson) had
ordered a guard of honour for her reception, timed
the Mayor and Corporation intended (if her' Ma-
jesty should stop) to present an Address. The
people at Sitringhourne were equally on the alert,
and the road is as lined with heudreds from the
neighbouring towns of Fever ham and Milton.
Her Majesty, it was Understood, would leave
Sittingboerne early, >io as to reach London in
full daylight. She will repair to the house of Al-
derman Wood, who has giren np his house fur
her Majesty's reception, the Government nut hav-
ing provided her with a residence."
