STATE OF HER MAJESTY.
Tim Bulletin issued ibis morning is es fellows :
" Kew Palace. Nov. 6.

" The Queue has had an indifferent night. Her MAJlattlr
remaias much indisposed.
(Signed) 66 F. AMMAN,

Tier PRINCE RECIENY arrived at the Palace about
aii o'clock, and Sir HENRY HALTORD having previ-
ously returned from visiting the King at Windsor, he
•nd Sir FRANCIS MILKAS waited upon his Royal

Highness' with their vetoing Report; at which time
her MAJESTY remained is a great measure free from
soy of the more painful symptoms of her disease,
but her Absorb was not at all recruited.

We insert farther extracts from the American Pa-
pers, which will be friend of interest. We geneyee.
terday some of the articles on the subject of the new
American Navigation Act. The commencement of
the operation, and the probable consequences of this
measure, have incited some tiaras among the coma
mercial interests in the United States. The greeter
part of the British vessels at Norfolk, laden with
American prodece for the West Indies,' had put to
sea, previous to the countervailing Navigation Act
going into operation; but others, owing to advert*
winds, had not been able to get oat. It was net,
however. apprehended that thiy would experiince
any detention en the part of the AnsericanApito.
rifles. The loss of this branch of trellicti twaddling
in terms of regret by some of the American Journalists ;
and doubts are expressed whether it will be com.
pensated by any advantage to the shipping interest of
the United States. The increased assiduity of oar
West India colonists to procure supplies from the
Soul her nSta tes,immediatelypretions to the prohibition
taking effect, affords a pretty strong proof that they
do not entertain a very favourable opinion of the
substitute provided for this intercourse, by tbe esta-
blishment of free ports at Bermuda, St. John's, and
Halifax.
The rumours respecting the cession of the Florida.
we also noticed yesterday. It is said, the Spanish
territories are to be given op unconditionally. This is
not probable. after the pains which the United States
have taken to obtain security to their frontier in that
quarter. This point will, however, be determined
by Congress. It is stated in an article on this sob.
ject, that ono or the most important topics before the
nest Congress will be the provisional occupation of
Florida. Why, it.is asked, cannot she anticipate the
Measure by amicable cession on fair and advantageous
grenade ? The point of honour is now saved to her.
America is +sot to serreeder Pensacola ; and to rid
her of every oppearance of compulsion. If she mehnsto
cede Florida, this is the moment to de It. with honour.
If her means are inadequate to give bee neighbour the
necessary security, she cannot keep this possession
with either honour or advantage. The Congress of
the United Statet, it Is annoonced, will convene,
agreeably to adjournment, at the seat of the General
Government, on the. 16th of this mouth.
We shall look forwerd to the meeting of Congress
with a lively interest ; for besides the explanation we
expect of General JACKSON'S conduct in the invasion
of Florida, it is iss be hoped the good sense and lit.
