THE QUEEN.

The following is the account brought from Kew
this morning, and the only answer given tethe nume-
rous solicitous enquiries after the Quaex's health :

" Her MAJESTY is much the same."

Her MAJESTY has been somewhat more at ease
since Monday evening. On the preceding Friday,
after haying eaten a tolerably hearty dinner, she was
attacked with one of those violent spasmodic affec-
tions in the stomach, which form so alarmirg a fea-
ture in her ip lisposition, and she remair.2d partially
under its.infltwace during the greater part of the three
following days. On the Monday evening she was
again somewhat better, and has continued since that
time rather improving in health than otherwise ; at
least, comparatively with her general state for the last
three weeks; and these favourable appearances induced
Royal Highness the Pal SCE REGENT to make his
trip to the Pavilion. /kr AlittJ ESTY'S disorder, however,
has several times assumed an appearance of almost en-
tire abatement, but has constantly returned with the
greater violence, and it is therefore to be feared her
present improvement may be but transient. The
house in which her MAJESTY resides, is that usually
called " The Prince's Old Howe," (being the one in
which the PRINCE REGENT spent the early part of
his youth); and, independently of its unfitness for a
Royal residence, in point of accommodation, it is, in
common with the whole neighbourhood of Kew,
most disadvantageously situated for invalids labour-
ing riteler that description of complaint, with which
her MAJESTY is afflicted. On this account it is, as
well as from the desire which her MAJESTY may
have expressed to see the KING, that her removal to
Winds 4 has been contemplated. No preparations,
however, are yet making for that purpose.

The Pat= RiGENT left Carlton-house, last night,
at half-past six o'clock, fee the Pavilion at Brighton,
attended by Sir B. BLOOMFIELD and the Rev. Mr.
BLosmano. Every preparation had been made for
setting forward at ten o'clock in the morning, but the
heat was so excessive that his Royal Highness, from
a feeling of humanity to the horses, postponed his
journey tiU the cool of the evening. His Royal
Highness is expected to return to town on Friday ;
but should no pestieular•Oange sake place in the"
state of the Qvarx, it is probable that his abser.ce
may be extended to Monday. He has, however, sig-
nified his intention of returning by that day at fat,
thest ; and, in t'.:e mean time, expresses- from Kew
will be sent to hirn daily.
Yesterday morning, about nine o'clock, the Duke
and Duchess of 'Kaxr, attended by*General Wt-',
rtesnat t, &c. left Kensington Palace. and proceeded
to Woolwich, to view the different establishments!
there. On the Royal Dike and Duchess's leaving
Woolwich, they prncceded to Claremont, where they
are expected to remain several days.
Tuesday afternoon, Prince LEOPOLD, attended by,
Col. ADDENBROICE and Baron Hattnnsattocicz, took
an excursion on the river Thames, between Weitmin-
nor and London bridges. Yesterday, soon after one
o'clock, his Royal Highness, attended by Sir Rottriur
GAttaixes, left town for Claremont, in h s curricle.

Baron litymeotoT, the Prussian Ambassador, gave
a most superb entertainment, on Tuesday, at his resi-
dence, in Portland-place, to the PRINCE IIr:,ENT
Among other distinguished personates invited to
meet his Royal Highness, were the Duke of WEL-
LINGroN, the Duke of SAN CARLOS, Lord CASTLE-
REAGII, Sir BENJAMIN BLOOMFIELD, Mr. AIIBLITII.
NOT, Dr. BLOMBERG, and Mr. Lo cc.

According to the present arrangemmus, and pro-
vided no very material change for the worse takes
place in the state of the Qui:Em's health, the Duke
and Duchess of CAM IDUE will finally leave Kew
on Monday nest, and return to South Audley-street,
where they will pass the short period which will Ll-
tervene before they leave England, on their return to
Hanover. This event will probably take place on
Monday se'nnight, the 17th instant, after their Royal
Highnesses have been present at the celebration, of
the Duke of YORK'S Birth-day, at Oatlands. The
Birth-day occurs on the 16th, but that falling on a
Sunday, we understand it is intended to celebrate it
on the previous Saturday.
FLORENCE, Amy 15.—Monday last his Excellency
Lord 13URCH ERSH, Envoy Extraordinary tee this
Court, invested with the Grand Cross of the Most
Honourable Order of the Bath, Rear-Admiral Sir
Timms FREMANTLE, at the residence of the Em-
bassy. The new Knight was introduced by their
Excellencies the Privy Counsellors Fossoma ROWE' and
NERI, Grand Crosses of the Order of St. Joseph, who
attended the ceremony. The ceremony was attended
by the persons attached to the British Embassy, as
well as by Mr. DAwitrss, Captain ST. AUEYN, Vis-
count Dutos, and the Hon. Colonel HALIDURTON.
Immediately after tn.: ceremony a Grand Ball took
place, which was honoured by the presence of our
august Sovereign, their Imperial Highnesses the He-
reditary Prince and Princess, and the Archduchess
MANIA LOCISA. The apartments of the Palace of
the Embassy were magnificently illuminated. The
supper on the occasion was in the first style of splen-
dour: among the ornaments were, the busts of his
Royal the PRINCE. REGENT, his Grace the
Duke of Wawsioros, Mr. PITT, add Mr. PEREZ VAL.
The Royal Family and Court were placed at a sepa-
rate table of forty covers. The company, consisting
of the Nobility, Re. amounted to above 800.. After
,•iiiper the ball recommenced, their Royal Highnesses
and ;hurt remaining nearly the whole of the evening.
