• 'Governments ; but the whole impartial world will
equally recognize in the present state of things the
.itupropriety that must ensue, if negociations which
-suppose a state of perfect political friendship were le

been offered without provocation. The occupation

'

TIIE QUEEN.
It appears by the Bulletin of this morning that her
Majesty has become worse. It states as follows :
" Kew Palace, Oct. 12.
" The Qum, has not had a good night, and her MAJSUTY
feels a want of that refreshment, which she has lately cleated
from sleep.
(Signed) " F. 1%11 LMA N,
" 11. lIALFORD."
The Bulletin of yesterday stated, that her MA.
JESTY was less comfortable on the afternoon of Sa-
turday, but that she had recovered her esse by another
good night's rest. The accounts through other
channels inform us that towards five o'clock her MA.
JESTY had some recurrence of cough, with slight
fever, and restlessness, and she remained so till after
midnight, when the symptoms again abated, and she
afterwards slept .uninterruptedly for several hours.—
The PRINCE REGENT arrived at the usual hour in the
evening, and passed some time with the PnixcEssE.,
after which he visited her MAJESTY and returned to
town. Her MAJESTY, we ire father informed, was
again. in the middle of the day, not so well as she
had been in the morning.

the yews 1818.0111, Who unto complete the army
is to been la the mproiug of the Igth of this month
at Lille, and to be finished in the whole deparment
on the 28th following. It is to take place at the
same time in Artois, anti Picardy immediately after;
before their departure the reviews will take place,
and each contingent then go to join the legion for
which it is intended. It is observed with pleasure,
that in all French Flanders and Artois, the insrvips
tion of the young men included in this double levy
has taken place with. tranquillity and order, •ithoet
causing any irregularities. The Number of letter)
'sent to Officers on half pay, to invitelhem to go over
to America, is more considerable than was 'at first
supposed ; hat this new measure has had levy little
effect—many of those to whin they were ad-
dressed have sent them to the Lieatenant.getterals
commanding the Military Divisions in which they se.
side, repeating at the same time the assurances of
their attachment to the present Government and laws
of France.
It may be foreseen that the new Election, which
shortly Like place in the Northern Departments
of France,will be made vb it!, the greatest tranquillity.
The spirit of the disturbers of the public trap.
goilliry is so well known that it is generally despised.
Preperations are making • at the head-quarters of
the Allied Troops, which favour the belief that the
iiidoarehb am expected .to review them. In all the
t'tweet departments occupied by the Miles, the eve-
ceatiou of the French territory is considered as more
.pod more certain; and if the resolution of the Sole•.
reigns should tarn out otherwise, it would cause au
eloraordinery sensation.
Bitusq34l, Ocr. 7.—The Editor and Proprietor
lof the Journal des deux Randres, who is in arrest at
Ghent, is very strictly guarded, and no person ad-
keifited to-see-him ,• .he bad already undergone several
interrogatories. The reasons of this measure ate not
yet known, but it is certain that his Journal ceases
to appear. He is to be tried before the'rribunal atg hent.
Two English Cabinet Messengers passed through
this city yesterday and last night, ou their way from
Aix-la-Chapelle to London.
Lord Claticarry, the British Ambassador to our
Court, has returned to this city after having been for
some time absent.
FIRANItronT, OCT. 3.—Her Majesty the reigaing
Empress of Russia arrived here this evening it 71
o'clock, her 'Majesty left ‘Vurtzberg at 7 in the
morning. She alighted at the lintel of Dsrmstarli,
where she was received by his Royal Highness the
iferediisry Prince of Hesse. The Hereditary Princess,
the Empress's sister, had gone to meet her M;sjesty.
Their Serene Highnesses the Lsndgrave and Lands
gravine of Hesse- Homburg, and the Privies and
Prince:s Custavuvol H ornharg, and their Royal
Higurresses Prince and Princess IVillism of Prussia,
base come to pay their tespects to her Majesty. The
Empress had requested that no honours might be rye.
dered her; thus all the preparations thst had been,
made to receive her were countermanded, and her
entrance was only marked by the transports of jer
proceeding from the crowd collected to see her pass.
%Ife- shall not long hare the pleasure to have &moos
us the. august consort of the Emperor Alesander.
tier Majesty goes to-morrow to Darmstadt, where it
is supposed she will stay the sth, and go on the 6th
to Brecht's!.

--wo--
A butch .`.bail, with Pawls to the 10th instant,'
arrived this forenoon. The intelligence from Bros.
sels does not confirm what hos been communicated
from Aix.la-Chapelle, respecting the determination
to evacuate France, but it announces the passing
through that City of two English Cabinet Messengers
for London, who may be the bearers of dispatches
communicating the Resolution of the Sovereigns.--
It is observed, that in all the French Departments
occupied by the Allies, the evacuation is considered
as certain, and that if the Resolution of the Sove-
reigns should tarn out to be othereise, " it would
cause an extraordinary sensation." We have no
doubt it would. The completing of the French
army by the new Conscription appears t• proceed
with tranquillity. The Paris Journals do not now
speak so confidently of the decision of the Allied
Powers to withdraw their troops. One of the
Papers has retracted its statement of the measure
having been fixed, representing the intelligence as
premature ; bet the fact of the Allies having come
to such a determination is not doubted. As the de-
tails of the measure had mot been fully arranged, and
digested into • tarried Reify, on the .2d inst., it
would be contrary to etiquette to announce it in po-
sitive terms in the Official Print; and the true cause
of the pretended retraction in the minor Journal
was, we apprehend, that the Editor had been re-
buked for presuming to make any communication on
the subject without the authority of the higher
Powers.

Roston Papers to the 21st, New York, Richmond,
and other American Jaurnsls to a late date, reached
us this morning. The Editor of the Berisocrulid

line as an indemnity.

The Note in which the late Spanish Minister Pt.

against the occupation of the Floritias by the troops
of the Uoited,States will be Nand in another Monte.
It proves that the.reported !rans/ere( these provinces
is unfounded, though a negotiation, treating on the
of a cession of the Spanish terultwee, seems to
"hove been piing on. In this dist *Out it is somewhat
~curious to perceive the Spanish novernment protest-
ing against the esecotiors of 13gitish subjects.—
lies tho duty of remonstrance in this particular
been left *to • Spanish Minister ? An intim..
Lion is given, that the negotiation pending be.
toeeti the two countries must be hrt•kett off, until
' the Government 4,f the United States shall have as.
pressed its disapprobation of the excesses committed
by General JacKsotr, and inflicted an appropriite
punishment upon him, and until matters have hem
" replaced in the Floridas on their former footing.—
The American Government, our Readers are snare,
his voluntarily anticipated the latter part of the as-
tisfnction demanded ; but no steps hive yet been
taken for bringing General JACKSON to trial. If the
new Spanish Ministry adhere to the sentiments es.
pressed-by PIZARRO, we may presume that the ay.
gociation for the cession of Florida will be resumed.
We give in nor Paper of this day a enpiout extract
from the Letter which Sir ROBERT WILSON has ad.
dressed. to his Constituents, in refutation of thaws
made against him' in the Couri (Quarterty) Retie*,
of having dispatched a false Report of a Victory to
the Commander in Chief of the British Army is the
Peninsula; in the year 1809. An inipatatinn so
hare on the character of one, who has so eminently
contributed to the honour of the British Army IA
the character of the Country, could only originate
in a spirit of the most inveterate malevolence sad
Political enmity. Its object is as apparent as its
falsehood, but this unworthy object will not he
attained. The character of Sir ROBERT WILSONI
is indeed a noble mark, brit it k in no danger
