(FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.)

[Morning Chronicle]

We are credibly informed, that the following
reductions are to take place before the meeting of
Parliament :

" Infantry Regiments are to be brought down to the 80th
Foot; and it is said that the Cavalry is to come as low as the
Itith Light Dragoons. All the second Field Officers of Regi-
ments are to be removed to half•pay. The whole of the Royal
Artillery Drivers, together with the Horse Artillery, two Bat-
talions of Foot Artillery, and one of Artillery Invalids, will
also fall under the necessary pruning hand of gcononty. Con-
siderable reductions arc likewise to be made in all the Mili-
tary Departments?'

THE QUEEN. ' •
" Kew, Ekht °TIN*, Sept. c'9.

" On Monday night her MAJESTY slept hut very
indifferently ; her cough was troublesorne, with
considerable fever, and it wai nearly two o'clock
before she obtained any rest. The PhysiciAns
were in attendance alternately nearly the whole
of the night.

" At eight o'clock this morning, letters, an-
nonncing the state of her Majesty's health, were
sent off to the l'i ince Regent, the Duke of York,
and the Earl of Liverpool, at Fife House, and
also to the Princess Sophia, at Windsor Castle,
" Throughout the day, her Majesty has re-
mained much in the same state. Compared with
the preceding week, however, her health may be
pronounced somewhat improved, as she was able
to bear the motion of her chair without staleting
much inconvenience, whilst it was gently wheeled
into the boudoir adjoining her chamber. in this
apartment she remained several hours, without
manifesting any great degree of weariness ; and
at tour o'clock she took a part tit a pal tlidge for
her Nutter.

" Some very considerable alterations and 'im-
provements are making in the lawn and planta-
tions opposite to the Palace, under the direction
of the Princesses, and to•day their Royal High-
nesses walked out to inspect the prowess ot. the
work. . They were attended by General Taylor
and Colonel Disbrow; and their Royal High-
nesses, being desirous of taking the opinion of the
Dowager Countess of Harcomt, on the direction
of some gravel walks, which are about to be laid
down, her Ladyship also accompanied them but
not being able to ivalk, she rode by the side of
their Royal Highnesses in an open landau of the
Princess Augusta's.

" Lady Isabella Thynne visited the Princeises
in the afternoon, and remained some time with
their Royal Highnesses; as did also Viscountess
I3aldtely and the Countess of Cardigan.
" A few minutes before six o'clock. the Prince
Regent arrived front Carlton House. His Royal
Highness did not appear in his usual health and
spirits, and he did not remain more than half an
hour at the Palace, when he returned direct to
Carlton House.

" Sir Hent•y Ha!ford left the Palace for Wind-
sor at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, to visit
the Princess Sophia, and returned in the evening,
in time to make his report to thi Prince Regent,
whilst his Royal Highness was with her Majesty.
Both the Physicians remain in attendance to-
&gilt, and Mr. Brande also.''

{Morning Post.),
SOUTH AMERICA.

We have been favoured with the followinz pri-
vate comMunication from one of the British
Officers who have rashly engaged in the South
American cause:—

" Nevis, .d4ag.l3, 1818.
" I was sent for ley Captain Ridley •and Major Grahatitto
join the Patriotic squadron, on the 16th of May, • lying off
Five Islands, near St.' Bartholomew': the Royalists came in
sight on the 17th, but no battle ensued. Admiral Brion
has purchased the Emerald and all her warlike stores,
hut not paid a single doubloon in Cash. Poor Ridley,
Grabain, and Fratherstonhaugh sailed to the Oroonoho,
and in their attempt (with about thirty other English-
men), to take a fort lying on that River, which ap-
peal-cid to be an easy conquest, they were taken by sur-
prise and all cut to pieces in the most inhuman manner by
the Royalists; thus I just escaped the invitation and saved
my'ife. Pour Cooper is dead; htelied at St.-Bartholomew,
and out of .the whole of the English who came out with
us, I do not suppose there are sixty persons now alive, excel.t.
the seventeen men. which Captain Chambers and myself
brought away tinder -our protection to St. .Kilt's. I shoniil
hope ;kat the Spanish Deputies, who. formed the expedition
in London, are all hung -or disposed "of bY the politic; be-
cause not One word was tree or to he depended upon that
they said. There is no settled Government or Treasury; the
Patriotic .'reties are all in a state of nudity, and die like
rotten sheep ou their march; they movie forward up to their
bodies in water, and without rations; they seem to exist
by robbing one another. A Mr. Matotington, just escaped
front a vessel that had been down to Niargaretia recently
arrived at St. Kitt's, front whence he came here with we on
my return film, the Governor; he has related what he
done at Margaretta by General.Arismenda, the second Pa-
triotic Chief under Bolivar, during Site :few days 'he hay at
that island. Ile, the General, wears an old flantserjacket
and -cap, and twice ;relay lie destroys tile Spaniards, himself,
who are sent to ltiru by Bolivar tie i3rion as prisoners;
he frequently sits down among his officers, to eat, with his
:tints reeking with their blood, after disposing of the Roya-
lists, and the Island is strewed with dead mangled bodies;
hundreds are also thrown iota the sea. I must make a very
lung letter to give you all the news of Nevis, and to answer
you on every point. The late Debates in Parliament arc very
likely to produce very dangerous consequences to the Pro-
prietors of the %Vest India Estates ; the slaves entertain an
idea that they ought to be emancipated without Government
indemnifying the owners. In this little Island there are
10,000 slaves, and 500 whites; the latter consist of turn,
women, and children, in the proportion of about one-third
men, so that the whites amount to about 166, to be opposed
to 10,000 blacks, if they should revolt. This circumstance
has given rise to speculations of vesting capital in American
lands. The • noted Mr. E. Huggins sails on 5u.04.1A,'
delpbiai he means to look about him." to Phila..
