' THE QUEEN.

" Kew,, Eight o'Clock, Oct. 22.
" After our dispatch was sent off last niftitt,
the Queen became somewhat more at ease; and
Henry Sir r Halford, in consequence, took the op-
r„,, unity of visiting the Princess Sophia. Her
'Majesty afterwards slept several hours, and it was
rxpected, that she would have found het self re-
.lO-,ed by this repose; but when Sir Francis
Nlil-
man visi►ed the Royal Chamber, at eight o'clock
this morning, no beneficial effect had been pro-
duced.

" Sir Henry Halford returned from Windsor
between eleven and twelve o'clock, and shortly
afterwards Sir Francis Milman went to Pinner
for a few flouts.

" -The Prince Regent arrived from Brighton at
'tsix o'clock, accompanied by Sir Benjamin Bloom-
field, and after receiving the evening report of the
Physicians, his Royal Highness remained to din-
ner with the Princesses.
" The Duke of York also visited the Palace
in the course of the day, but neither the Prince
Regent nor the Royal Duke saw her Majesty.—
She was too much exhausted to receive them.

• " The Princesses again spent several hours on
the lawn ; and gave a variety of further minor
directions to the workmen.

Their Royal Highnesses also received visits
front the Dowager Countess of Cardigan, the
Countess of Harcourt, and Miss first.

• " Up to seven o'clock to-night, her Majesty
remained without any amendment whatever, and,
from her restlessness through the day, an unta-
vourable night was anticipated.
" Sir Henry Halford only remains in attend-
ance, but Sir Francis Milman is expected to join
him in the course of the night."

FINANCE.

The annexed Financial Statement has been
transmitted to us by a Correspondent, and as it
appears to be calculated on a fair principle, we
rradily give it insertion, not meaning however to
pledge ourselves to the exact estimates therein
contained. It must be evident that all contingent
reasonings of this kind are liable to considerable
diversity of opinion in their details. The general
result, however, we'conceive, will be found to
be not very distant from the truth, in case no un-
favourable occurrences should interfere with the
present course of our prosperity :
In reference to the Public Expenditure of the United King-
dom, as deduced from the Official Statements given for the
Years ending sth January 1817 and 1818, and intended to
thew the probable, or progressive decrease of our Expendi-
ture for the Years 1819, 1820, as compared with the Years
1816 and 1817, thus leaving the current Year 1818 as the

medium data :
SAVINGS.--In the Navy, fur 1819, 1820 ...... 1,500,000

Thus giving a Surplus Financial Revenue of about 11,000,000/.
per annum for the year 1821, as compared with 1816, 1817,
' and in all probability an avropriation to the reduction
of our Debt in the years 1819, 1820, of a sum not less than
45,000,0001.

SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT. s.—King Ferdinand begins al-
rerdy to undergo the reaction of his errors; he
distrusts every thing ; and gives orders and coun-
ter-orders almost at the same time. On the change
of the Ministers, the only ones who remained in
their situations were Messrs. Eqnia and Lozano ;
and Now their dismissal is spoken of, for their
successors are designated ; M. Carbaial, as Mi-
nister at War (he filled this place at the time of
the Regency, called by nickname el quintillo) ; and
M. Arias Prada, for the Department of Justice,
in which, no doubt, he will cause all his prede-
cessors to be regretted, until he be succeeded by
another. The greatest proof that I can give you
of the King's perplexity, and of the confusion
under which he is labouring, is the following
case :—On Tuesday or Wednesday of the last
week, his Majesty sent down to the Cvtain-Ge-
neral of this province a list, comprising the names
of 60 persons, who were suspected by the Kin;;,
and who were to he sent in consequence under
escort to several distant towns of the kingdom.—
This blow, however, was not struck for two rea-
sons—first, because there were not troops enough
in readiness to compose the several escorts ; and
secondly, on account of the interposition of the
gracious influence of the Queen, who also re-
monstrated with hint, that such attempts t+•ere
only calculated to increase the number of discon-
tents. The King then recalled the list, and tore
it into pieces. The opinion already general in
the smallest villages is against the Government ;
and evert the most insensible of the people say
that it is not possible to endure such grievances
much longer. A politician of the time of the
reign of Elizabeth and Ferdinand said, " that
when people dare to talk, they also dare to exe-
cute :"—Quando los pueblos osan decir, osun tambien

facer.
To put a check to the public complaints and
marmors-, a Royal ordinance was issued about a
monih ago, recommending to the Court of Al-
caldes de Casa y Corte, the utmost vigilance to
prevent conversations against his Majesty and
his Government, or account of the scandalous
manner in which people expressed themselves
towards the King and his measures. Accord-
ingly, the Court gave its strictest orders on the
matter to the Alcaldes de Barrio; and a police of
