QUEEW.

The different branches of the Royal Family, and
a crowded assemblage of the Nobility and others,
thronged the Queen's Palace yesterday, to make their
anxious inquiries after the state of her MAJEST V.
The Court-yard and the front of the Palace remain
closed, and the Royal Family only pass in and out
by the side entrance. The following Bulletin wax.
issued this day :

" Queen's Palace, May 513, 1818-11 o'clock, A.M.

" The QUEEN felt herself better throughout the
whole of yesterday : her MAJESTY has passed a very
good night. (Signed) " FRANCIS MILMAN.

" HENRY HALFORD:.

Yesterday being the Princess of HESSE Hom BERG'S
Birth-day, most of the parties leaving their names at
the Palace to inquire after the state of the QUEEN,
left their cards of congratulation to the PRINCESS.
Her Royal Highness received very few personal con-
gratulations, except from the Royal Family, in con-
sequence of the continued and lamented indisposi-
tion of her Royal Mother. Prince LEOPOLD came to
town from Claremont upon the occasion, to offer his
congratulations, and make his dutiful inquiries after
the QUEEN.
In consequence of the illness of the QUEEN, she was
not able to give an entertainment in honour of her
beloved Daughter's birth-day, which has been her
MAsEsTy's yearly custom. The PRINCE REGENT,
however, gave an entertainment at Carlton-house
upon the occasion, and the Prince of HESSE Hom-
BERG, the Duke of CcoticEsTEß, and a numerous
party, dined with his Royal Highness at Carlton-
house, in honour of the day. Afterwards her Royal
Highness had a numerous Dress Party on the occasion.

The Hotel of M. HENRI MULIENS, one of the first
Bankers of Frankfort, has been purchased by the
Prince and Princess of Hesse-Hosrnouac; for the
price of 2420,000 florins. It would appear from this,
that it is the intention of their Highnesses to make
Frankfort their Eed place of residence.
A private letter from Meiningen, alluding to the
expected marriage of the Duke of CLARENCE to the
Princess ADELAIDE of Saxe Meiningen, mentions a
rumour prevalent there, that since theiate refusal by
the English Parliament of an adequate provision for
the Royal Pair, it is their intention not to reside in
England, but in the Ilanoverian city rtf Cell, , " where
their expenses will not be so great as they would ne-
cessarily be in Ergland."
The celebrated Mr. HUNT, in what is called a
" flaming advertisement," or letter to the Electors,
has offered himself as a Candidate for the. City 4
Westminster. He vows that he will stand 'mon the
hustings as long as his legs will bear him, against the
friends of the Corn Bill and the enemies of Annual
Parliaments. His real hostility, however, it is sup-
posed, is directed against Sir FRANCIS BURDETT.
The new Satirical Novel, entitled " Bath," is to
appear on Monday. The story, we understand, is
founded on facts, with which, it is said, a Northern
Duke and a Military Marquis are well acquainted.
It also contains nearly one hundred Portraits of dis-
tinguished Persons.
From St. Petersburgh, the 23d ultimo, it is stated,
that according to a narrative from Oonalashka, (one
of the Aleutian Isles, near Kamtschatka,) an island,
which was observed to be first formed in 1814; In
consequence of a volcanic eruption, had, during
1815, acquired a consistence and form very different
from what it had in the preceding year. Its present
extent is two wersts. The name of Bogorlow has
been given to it. It is remarkable that in 1814 this
Island was full of sea lions, and that in 1815 nothing
but their bones were to be seen.

FRENCH EXPEDITION TO SENEGAL.-.—The authentic
and detailed account of this dis.istrnus Expedition,
which took place in 1:316, is just published, illustrated with the
interesting Notes of M. iluernr, (now in Africa). It rontaina
the particulars of the Shipwreck of the Iledusa ; the S.:MA-Inge
of the Crew, and the various occurrences on board the Raft, in
the Desert of &are, at St. Louis, and at the Camp of Daccard.
It has been jus:ly observed by the Quarterly Reviewers, that
" This weltauthenticated little Volume presents the details of a
scene of horror that caa scarcely be conceived to have taken
place among, men in a state of civilized society. s Never was
there a recital more terrible ; it makes one shudder in every page,
and tremble In every lane. The subterranean se.rxs of Ann
Radcliffe, and all the imaginary horrors of our mclu-dramas I
our tragedies, shrink to nothing before the real horrors of this
dreadful catastrophe.' "—Mr. Cueatiax, the Publisher, receives
Subscriptions for the relief of the survivors.

Tile ALIEN &la., whiCh has excited so much dis-
cussion, vests no new power in the Crown ; it only
defines a very old and salutary Prerogative, itlich
has existed many centuries. If Government had not
the means promptly to check the influx of Foreigners,
they might be inJueed to crowd into this Country,
and monopolize the Iluxnasn And SeveN CAPITAL,
before the KING'S Ilnern-DAY, when tae Lottery
begins, and the first 20 Prizes must be all Capitals,
besides the 40,0001. '23,000/. or 22,0001. for the Sixth
l'rize above 1,0001.

" To SAVE IS TO GAlN."—Those persons who may
be disposed to adventure in the present Lottery, will
do well to recollect, that so
.great was the demand in
the last Lottery. that the Price of Whole Tickets rose
from 191. 10s. to :Rd. mating Sixteenths 21. which
were at first but 11. I's. T.lllno therefore invites his
friends to an early purchase at his fortunate Was in
town, or from his Agents in the Country, who are nor/
supplied with Tickets and Shares in a great 'variety
of numbers.—The Lottery will commence drawing
on the King's Birth-day, and contains 107 Capital
Prizes, including S of 20,000/.—For the splendid
List of Capitals sold by T. Bisu in the Lottery just
finished, he refers his friends to a printed sheet ct
particulars, which may be had gratis at his Offices,
or from his Agents, but which is too long for inser-
tion in a newspaper.

JOHN NORRIS; coachman to Lady LASSRNA, and
his daughter, aged seven years, were so dreadfully
burnt on Thursday evening, that die life of the child
is in danger, at the Middlesex Hospital. The crouch-
' man was pre in varnish on the tire, when the
combustibles boi:ed over, and in endeavouring to get
the pot or kettle off; the varnish fell upon hint and
the child. The father was chiefly burnt about the
hands, but the child sawed sevcicly.
