THE NEGOCIATION.

As might be expected, great impatience is every
where expressed to learn what progress has been
made towards an arrangement respecting the KING
and QUEEN.

It is already known that, after the motion of Mr.
WILBERFORCE for an adjournment of the discussion
had been agreed to by. the House of Commons, in
the hope that, through the instrumentality of com-
mon friends, some compromise might take place be-
tween the two parties—it is known, we say, that after
this, Ministers allowed two days to pass over with-
out opening, or offering to open any negociation,
when her MAJzsTy invited them to treat, by a corn-
Inunication, stating, that " she was ready to receive
any proposition consistent with her honour."—See
the STAR of Saturday.
The communication, delivered to Lord LIVERPOOL
on Friday evening by Mr. DENA! AN, was immediately
submitted to the Cabinet Ministers, who, after con-
siderable discussion, separated, to attend their Par-
liamentary duties.

At half-past nine, another Cabinet Council was
summoned to meet at the residence of the Earl of
LIVERPOOL, in Whitehall. They continued in deli;
beration until half-past twelve. The result of their
discussion was submitted to the KINO, and the fol-
lowing Note was sent to her MAJESTY :

" Fife House, Whitehall; Saturday Afternoon,
Three o'Clock.

Lord Livntroot Informs her Viraerv, that the only propo-
sition he had to make was the one submitted to Mr. BROUGHAM
in April list, which was nearly the same as that proposed by
Lord Ilurcontson at St. Omer's ; but that Lord Livenroot
assures her MAJESTY, that the Km's Servants will still think it
their duty, notwithstar.ding all that has passed, to receive for,
consideration any suggestions which her MArksrr, or her Ad-
visers, may have to offer upon their propositions."
To this Note of Lord LIVERPOOL, her MAJESTY
replied—

" That she demanded all the rights belonging to the Qua=
of Exct.atm. That, before she was in possession of all her dig-
nities, she could not listen to any other proposal. That, when
she was restored to them, she should be ready to listen to any
proposal from his MAJESTY'S Minister," •
These documents, which appeared in the Observer
of yesterday, are, we doubt not, in sub:lance cor-
rect ; and the inference that seems to be drawn from
them by the Public, as well as by the Morning Papers
generally, is that, in fact, the Negociation has en-
tirely failed.

Our own view of the Negociation is, however,
somewhat different. So far from considering it as I
terminated, we infer from these very Notes that it is
in progress ; for the fact simply stands thus :
Ministers had made a proposition through Mr.
BROUGHAM in April last, and this proposition (pro-
bably viewed as an insult to her MAJESTY, being in
substance the same as that made by Lord HUTCHINSON)
it does not appear was communicated to the QUEEN.
But, in consequence of the notification made through
Mr. DENMAN on Friday, the same proposition is again
made, as the first step of his MAJESTY'S Ministers in
the newly-opened negociation. The question is not
whether this proposition of Ministers be such a one
as they should now have made ; but, whether, having
been made, in compliance too with her MAJESTY'S
intimation, her MAJESTY should give any answer?
Nye say, yes ; for it lies with her MAJESTY, in her an-
swer, to claim any respect which may have been dis-
regarded by Ministers either in the manner or matter
of their proposal : and accordingly she has answered,
that she" demands " all the rights belonging to the
44 QUEEN of ENGLAND ;" and farther, that "till her
'Wets are recognized she can listen to no other proposal."
In this stage of the business—for we contend that
these are steps in a regular Negociation—it remains
to be seen what reply will be made by his Majesty's
Ministers. Her MaJzsTy's-answer does not amount
to a breaking off of farther proceedings. It now lies
with Ministers to take the next step : if they reply,
the Negociation is still in progress—if they do not re-
ply, the rupture of the Negociation will lie with them.
Our opinion is, that they will reply, and even that,
in the first instance, her MAJESTY'S rights will be
fully recognized; but it will not follow, as a neces-
sary consequence, that her MAJESTY must inevitably
exercise these rights; no, nor will it follow, that her
MAJESTY must and will reside in England. But we
are confident that her MAJESTY will never put her-'
self in a situation that will compel her to reside
abroad, subjected to the same insulting treatment she

I.

I •

has already received from Foreign Courts—knowing
'the source of such treatment—Seatnient not only de-
rogatory to her MAJESTY'S high rank and just claims,
but most insulsng to the dignity of the British Empire.
Yesterday, at four o'clock, a Cabinet Council as-
sernbled at the Foreign Office. This meeting only
continued sitting about half an hour.

The Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday have ar-
rived, since our last.

The state of Paris is still far from being tranquil.
After the execution of Losevel, on. Wednesday (the
particulars of which will be found in a subsequent
part of our Paper), the multitude dispersed without
the least disorder. The greatest quiet appeared to
reign in Paris, and especially in the environs of the
Chamber of Deputies, in • the Place Louis XV. and
those other places which were the scene of the dis-
turbances of the preceding week. At half-past eight
o'clock at night the greatest tranquillity still pre-
vailed, and a body of troops, which had been sta-
tioned on the Place Louis XV. all day were withdrawn.
—The calm (say the journals) was deceitful: Im-
mediately afterwards some hundreds of individuals
appeared, all of a sudden, on the Boulevard des
Capucines, all armed with sticks. They marched in
a body on the causeway, crying out Vive le Cherie!
and (will it be believed ? says the Journal des Debuts)
Vise f Empereur I Acclamations still more culpable
were, it seems, vociferated, of a nature so atrocious
that the journals dare not repeat them.
This seditious assemblage, augmenting as it pro-
ceeded, traversed the boulevards without encounter-
ing any force sufficient to disperse it, or meeting in-
deed with any obstacle till it came to the entrance of
the boulevard Bonne Nouvelle, where a picquet of
the Horse National Guard endeavoured, but ineffec-
tually, to stop its progress. Near the Chateau
&Eau, however, a detachment of Dragoons of the
Royal Guard and Horse Gendarmerie having come
up, the mob were quickly dispersed and a number of
the ringleaders seized.

The malcontents endeavoured afterwards to rally
their scattered forces in the Faubourg St. Antoine,
but were again dispersed, and some more of them
arrested. At ten o'clock tranquillity was perfectly
restored throughout the metropolis.
On Thursday there appears to have been no re-
newal of disturbance. The Journal des Debats states,
that at nine o'clock on ti►at night all was perfectly calm.
Among the persons arrested, there are several of
considerable note. The Journal de Paris mentions
Generals SOLIONAC and FREYSSINET, and Colonels
DUVERGIER and BARIUM DIYFA Y. The Officer last
mentioned is the same individual who acquired such
notoriety by his unfortunate affair with the late Count
Sr. MORYS. The Police had been in quest of him
for several days, and discovered him accidentally 'in
the midst of the crowd collected to witness the exe-
cution of Lemuel.

The Gazette de France says, that the agitators have
spread a great many i"alce reports. One makes the
KING to have set out for Versailles; another for Fon-
tainebleau ; a third for Lisle, &c. &c. It is unneces-
sary, this Journal adds, to say, that his MAJESTY is
at the Chateau, and well.

The Journal des Debats, which is warm in its sup-
port of the Ktrzu and his Government, has a strange
article, which reminds one of the danger to be
dreaded from friends of a certain descriptioi, in
which it thus classes the different malcontents:

With one party there is nothing to he done with-
out the restoration of BONAPA RTE ; with a second, it
is the young NAPOLEON who ought to reign ; with a
third, France should be formed into a -Federal
Republic, like the United States of America; and,
with a fourth, there is no safety for France but in
the investiture of a foreigner !

The foly of each of these fancies -the writer sets
himself gravely to expose, without ever imagining,
apparently, how much better he would have served
the cause he professes to support by not mentioning
them at all. When we know that the Press is upder,
the Censorship of the Ministers, and that this sort of
writing must be presumed, therefore, to have their
direct sanctien, the circumstance is calculated to ex-
cite very strange reflections.
The projected change in the Election Law, which
is the grand cause of this ferment in the public mind
in France, appears to have met with another obsta-
cle in its progress through the Chamber of Deputies,
which may not improbably lead to its being laid
aside altogether for the present. An Amendment
has been proposed on the second article, which, in
the opinion of the leading speakers, and of Ministers,
would go to alter the whole principle of the Project;
and au Amendment of so essential a nature as this,
must, it appears, according to theinsual forms, un-
dergo a previous examination in the Bureaus.
The Chamber were engaged in the discussion of
this point of form on Thursday when they adjourned.
If a remit takes place to the Bureaus, it will afford
all parties time to cool, and Ministers a way to get
out of a very hazardous predicament.
French Five per Cents. Thursday, 73 fr: 70 c.

A Cabinet Council was held this morning. It is
reported on 'Change that this Council was called to
take particularly into consideration the intelligence
received this morning from France. Private letters
have arrived which give a very unfavourable ac-
count of the state of that Capital. It appears that
there is a very strong party inimical to the present
order of things, which is augmenting daily. The
Funds have fallen 50 cents.-since the last Mail, being
done at 73 fr. 70 c. The Exchange, 25 fr. 45 c. at
one month.

It is very currently reported this morning that Mr.
CANNING resigned his place Saturday.--Whether
he has since been induced to resume his situation we
have not yet learnt.
It is also reported that a certain person, in return
for intreaties preferred in a certain quarter to aid or
at least assent to a reconciliation, had met with such
a rebuff; as will prevent his repeating the experiment.

It is coUfidentlt stated in the Nav3l circles, that

extend so far down the list of Post Captains as to
include ComModore Sir THOMAS HARDY, Bart. DOW
on the South American station.

A paragraph in the Reading Paper states in sub-
stance the following :
" The lord Lieutenant of this County could not go to review
the Yeomanry Cavairy. Sir F. Boanerr dined at the Men
the over night; and Mr. C. DUXDAS, Colonel, and M. P. for the
County, said, Sir humus, you shall review us.' Ha nm, and
there was a great assemblage of beauty and fashion. The Corps
marched by him, and afterwards formed a square; he entered
it, and made them a very •reaoratays mien on their evolu-
tions—the constitutional force of such soldiers, &c. &c. and '
they gave him three cheers!"

SIR CHARLES WoLsziay,Extract of a private
letter from the Baronet:

" I am very comfortably situated, and am in as good spirits
as ever I was in my life, and literally find the day too short for
me. Within these few days I have ordered them ter eat the
an hour sooner in a morning. The Governor and his family
of this prison are as good creatures as ever breathed. The Ida-
gistsates have behaved very liberally to me. I have a place to
walk in something like what there is at the.Btafford Asylum,
only iron-railed out from the street. The front of the prison io
' a very fine pima of too feet loot, in the true taste of Wyatt,
and the Doric Order. This makes it very comfortable either
for sunny or rainy weather;. I walk about eight miles every
day, never felt better; and from the first moment Isere, never
felt that ennui so march talked ot. Lady W. and family are
coming up scion, and awe, be at the inn, a very gooliase, exactly
=, only across the street. This jail is washed by the
or Isis, and is the fast building on entering the town,
SO that it is very airy—and,' I ant gay.' I have many curious
visitors who come to take a peep at the Radical Dermot !"
Mr. VANDRNHOTIP, of the Liverpool Theatre, and
Mr. COOPIR, of the Edinburgh Theatre, two trage-
dians of much provincial fame, are engaged by Mr.
ELLIITON, for the neat season.
