cordingly re-elected. M. de St. Cricq, also a former

Count resolved to leap out, but getting entangled in

LONDON t

TUESDAY, OCTOBXII 27, 1118.

THE QUEEN.
The following is the Bulletin of this morning :
Kew Palace, Oct. 'it%
" The Qum( has had a good eight, from which her M*jml
has derived some ease.

(Signed) " F. MILMAN.
,' H. HALFOILD."

The accounts through other channels state, that
her MAJESTY did not derive the least benefit from the
repose she obtained on the preceding night. She re-
mained throughout yesterday free from pain, but ex-
ceedingly debilitated. His Royal Highness the Duke
of YORK remained yesterday two hours at the Pa-
lace. The PRINCE REGENT arrived in the evening,
and give audience to Sir FeANcts 1111LatArt, who
then made his evening report oo the state of her
MAJESTY.

.

We give in another column an official specification
of the Reductions of the Army, which have been de-
cided upon. It was not, we are informed, until
after considerable altercation that these reductions
were agreed to. We do not wonder at soave differ-
ence of opinion on this subject. The measure is one
of great importance to the existence of many. It is
asserted that the reductions will amount to more than
33,000 men ; but the saving clause is introduced,
that they are only " to be reduced as soon as pouf.
ble."—lt is said that the Earl of Ltvertroor., was de-
sirous of reducing the Army to the SOth Regiment
of Foot, bat the remonstrances were so strong from
head-quarters, that all representations of the into-
leralkle burthen en the-country were insufficient, nor
could he succeed in procuring the reduction to stop
even at the 90th, as the three higher regiments, the
01st, 92d,-and 93d, were Scots, with local LOW-
eucel and under high ansices.

It is supposed that the whole2eduction will not
produce a saving of more thantone million per an-
num. '.Ye do not believe that it will amount to so
much, for the practice of preserving the heads et a
considerable expellee after the bodies are consigned
to.their country, will-no doubt be adopted as much
as possible on this as well as other occasions. Vtre
are glad that the energetic representations made by
'People in !emir of Economy add against Stand-
ing Armies in time of Peace, have been so far attend•
edae-tellead:querters; but we cannot flatter the na-
tion by attempting to create a belief that these reduc-
tions are made by Ministers with the view of afford-
ing relief to the distresses of the country, or that the
People will reap much benefit from such a mass of
idle and pennyless individuals being added to their
number. The reductious which have taken place in
the amount of our regular army since the Peace have
been solely owing. to te deficiency of the means of
providing for its suppOrt. • The Partiality of our Mix
elvers for a large Standing Army is avowed and not.
torious. They have. newer led the way In reducing
o expenditure ; on the contrary, they have strenuously
eodeavoured to thwart every measure of reduction
earl economy. They have ever been ready with an
excuse for the most wasteful and improvident extra-
vagance ; and we doubt not, that at the very moment
wheu they are acknowledging it utterly impossible
to maintain the Army for which they have so ear-
nestly contended as necessary to the safety of the
country, they would find excuses and reasons
int►umerable for keeping up the long list of Sinecures
and Pensions which burden the nation, and one-third
of which would maintain in peaceful comfort the
whole of the 33,060 men who are now to be thrown
upon the community to lire as they may, where
`labour and subsistence are already scarcely to be ob-
itained by the most industrious. In the present cir-
cumstances of trade and the country, it is impossible to
foresee what may be the consequences of such an ad•
dition to oor starving population. It must he obvious
that misery and disorder are likely to be aggravated
by such a surplus of idle hands, and men who must
be fed some way or other, unless an improving trade
■nd new sources of employment shall afford the means
orsopport to the increasing population ; and these
we can scarcely expect to see offering their relief
during the dull, and to the poor and labouring classes,
the miserable period of the winter. Disorder in
any quarter may be expected to have its usual
consequences to the milieu at large. That which
happened may happen again, and for aught we know,
no man may yet hate it in his power in this free
country to calculate on a day's liberty—riots bay be
again ;Itched, and more easily than ever—the Con.
stitutionel laws of the nation may be again suspend-
red on the evidence of spies, and the most inoffensive
amongst us may be seized on the report of a hired
Informer, and consigned to some distant dwisgeon,
without either the prospect of en open trial or.he
opportunity of a public justification.
The rumour of a serious dispute. between the Em,
perors of AUSTRIA and Russia gains ground on the
COntinent. In the Brussels Papers, which have
reached us to the 2.3 d inst. the report formerly men-
tioned from Aix-la-Chapelle is repeated, namely,
that the Emperor of RUSSIA has openly declared
against the claim of Bavaria to part of Baden, that he
and the Emperor of AUSTRIA had come to something
like high words on the subject ; and, it is added,
that there already exists en alliance offensive and de-
fensive between Russia, Prussia, end France, on the
one part, and England, Austria, and Bavaria on the
other. We have some reluctance to believe this lat-
ter statement, but where so many dark cabals ere
carrying on, it is impossible 'to say what Treaties
may be formed. The Flemish Editors dwell with
great exultation on the increased prosperity of
Brussels, which they attribute to liberty being " no
longer an empty name" in the Netherlands.—
We suspect the inhabitants of Brussels, and the
People of the Netherlands, have much more reason
to thank our Ministers then their own Government
for this increase in their prosperity. When such a
great-proportion of the wealth and produce of the in•
dustry of this country are expended on the Con.
titient, it is by no means surprising that its pro.
sperity should increase, and that our commerce
should languish, and meet with so many obstructions
from the superiority thus obtained by cur rivals.
The German Papers state, that a Papal Nuncio is
to set out from Rome for Switzerland, about the mid-
' die of next month ; but as the matters in discussion
between the Helvetic Diet and the Papal See have
not yet been adjusted, it is deemed improbable that
he will be received in his official character. Six of
the Members of the Council of Friburg have, in an
energetic protest, recorded their dissent from the
decision oft hat Body, in favour of the re-establish.
ment of the Jesuits. The negociatinn between the
Helvetic Confederation and Baden, relative to some
differences with the lesser Cantons, is about to be re.
I•entried. The late Austrian Ambassador at the C.'urt
if Rio Janeiro has presented a Report to Ms Go% e, n.
rOlent on the means of establishing a direct c•nm-
merciat intercourse with the Brazitr•. Ito:maere's
sister, PAULINA) continues to reside at Leghorn.

French Papers to the 26th have reached us. The
Elections :.re proceeding with rapidity, and the in.
(crest which they excited naturally decreases as their
probable results Begin to reveal themselves. Messrs.
