THE QUEEN.

" Kew, Eight o'Clnek, Oct. 99.

The QUEEN still languishes under the most
distressing debility, notwithstanding she slept
without intermission the whole of last night.
the earlier stages of her disorder, her Majesty ex-
inced some little refreshment twin a night of
repose, but since her list paroxysm, even a sue-
c,'xsion of tranquil nights produces no beneficial
erect whatever. Her Majesty now invariably
V.-dkes feverish and unrcfreshed ; circumstances
v htch make it but too evident, that her sleep is
neat the repose of nature, but an artificial torpor
produced by medicine. It is said, that the mo-
t!ier of her Majesty languished several years before
1-. r death in a nearly similar way.
" Last night, the Prince Regent remained to
dinner with his Royal Sisters. The. Duke of
York also arrivf d at the Palace again in the even-
ing and joined the dinner party. Afterwards the
Princes remained in conversation with Sir Henry
I-lalford and General Taylor till almost eleven
o'clock, and then their Royal Highnesses: returned
to town.

" Sir Francis Milman left the Palace, yesterday
evening, immediately on the arrival of Sir Henry
Haltord !tom Windsor ; and he returned from his
seat at Pinner, to-day, at three o'clock, when
Sir Henry Halford again set off for the Castle.
" Their Royal Highnesses the Princesses
spent several hours, to-day, in perambulating the
delightful domain which surrounds the Palace,
and in watching the progress of their imp►ove-
ments. They ate invariably attended by General
Taylor.
" To-night, the Prince Regent alighted at the
Palace, about half-past five o'clock, and imn►e-
diately rave audience to Sir Francis Milman.
His Royal Highness did not remain more than an
hour, and he then returned to Carlton House to
dinner.

" The inquiries at the Palace, these last two
days, have not been so numerous as heretofore."

[Morning Chronicle.]
The more closely that the scheme 49f Army Re-
ductions is examined, the less satisfaction %yin
be derived from it as a'measore of retrenchment.
In the House of Commons last year, Lord PA L-
MKRSTON distinctly said, that it would be infi-
nitely more economical to reduce regiments alto-
gether, than to keep up a number of skeletons.
Seventy regiments at 600 men each would be hi-
finitely more advantageous to the country than
ninety at 620 each, and he held out this as the
plan of reduction to be pursued, stwing the
amount of saving that would thereby accrue.—
How will the Noble Secretary at NVar reconcile
the plan of reduction actually adopted with that
'which he announced ? The extravagant course is
preferred to the economical. The country is
saddled with much more expellee than would have
been incurred by following the plan of the Noble
Lord; and what is of almost equal importance,
influence would have been diminished in the same
proportion as expence.

Letters, dated 9th inst. from Cadiz, mention,
that the Spanish merchant ship, San Juan Ban•
tista, had arrived there in 110 days from Lima,
with a %likable cargo on board, consisting of
551,000 dollars in specie, 6000 fanegas of Guaya-
quil cocoa, copper, &c. The money is for account of
nierchanis. She sailed from Lima in company with
the Tagle, Castilla and Preciosa, armed ships,
and parted company with them after doubling
Cape Horn, in 40 degrees of south latitude. As
these ships had not arrived at their destinations,
some apprehensions were entertained for their
safety. In the Cadiz market, Vales Reales were
losing 64 per cent.—(lbid.)
