TILE QUEEN.

Yesterday morning early, arrived Colonel Vassal's,
die brother of Oeneral Pino, charged with dispatches
man the Queen, to her legal advisers. Such was the
dispatch used in his journey, that he only left Geneva
al Friday night, a distacce of t.ear ;PO ueilrs. Iler
Majesty *as at Geneva when he quitted, is here she in-
Hided to remain two days, for the sake of rest ; she
t',en proposed proceeding to the frontiers ~f France,
lett had no intention of visiting Brussels, as formerly
ferried. The messenger's instructions were to return's
immediately uith an answer, and meet her on the road.
Iler Majesty was rather indinlosed at the time, but it
arJse mere's. from the fatigue she had umlergone in
travelling. 'I he French Journals have announced her
entry in.* France above ten days Finer ; the arrival of
the above messenger completely exposes the inaccuracy
of their 'term:tit%

'I he motion for the committal of the Civil Lio kin
list night in the Honse of COMIIIOII3, drew forth se-
ser,Ll s?irite.l animatirerions on the character both
of the Estimates and the application of the throw.

s,znp of speech, to reconcile the people to the ways

iluitted of the supi,lies.

'hate rith, thegrarid strtlggle respecting the law of
elections tray to commence. Never since the Constituent
Assemb!y, it is said, has nay debate excited such
►igh tlegtze of public attention. Every interest mid
every• feeling are alive, and a spirited and even stormy
dlaru-sion is anticipated. Elgtrty-nitie Deputies have
ies:ribed themselves against t►e new prnjet. The alt.
absolute majority is a hundred and twenty-nine.
There are only, then, forty more, it is remarked, re-
quital to assure the triumph of the adversaries of
the lax.

of the Senate, has appointed Henry Middieton,

SPANISH Amami:A.—The accounts from the Spanish
Maine and West Indies of the affairs in Spanish Ame-
sir+, continue vague and contradictory ; those from
stet•, that the Independents continued in
retire poss. p.ion of New Granada ; while other ac-
counts from the Maine announce positively, that the
Royal General Calzado had been sncressfnl, and that
flolirar's forces had retreated, and he was again con-
ieutratiag: on the river Oronocine.
Pans. THE Myra PLATE..-.--.ACCOunts repeat that
Lord Cochrane had captured the three Spanish men of
War sent from Cadis to reinforce the Spanish naval
Suter in the Pacific. '1 he ah..ve account is as much
Itne as most of the news from the same quarter ; for
we bare indubitable evidence that, of the men of war
bisokea of, one was dismasted, and returned to Cadiz
another foundered at sea ; and the third arrived snfe at
so destination ; consequently the Lord in question
has not been finite so successful in capturing the ships
sad forts of the enemy, as be has been in plundering 1
sunned neutrals of their property.

The night before last the— Navy-Yard was fired by
"he persons unknown ; the combustibles had been
Irpo•ited in o calabast, and thrown into the building,

the tiovernor.—(Phi'adelphia Paper, April 10.)
