On Monday night", alt-"."—QotelivtellinVo'Clock, Lord Archi-
bald Hamilton arrived in his carriage at the Queen's i
hue, in Porttnen-street, and had as immediate andi-i
ens of her Majesty, which lasted shoot an hour. Yes-1
Imlay her Majesty had several consultations with her
Attorney and Solicitor (leverets; and the inquiries
slier he health were More numerous than on the re-
ceding day.
Mr. Brougham, Mr. Denman, and Mr. Williams,
held a long private conversation yesterday morning,
during the sitting of the Courts in Westminster-hay,
supposed to be respecting the affairs of the Queen, in
our of the recesses near the window of the Court of
Exchequer.
A report was very current yesterday, that i moditect
hroposition had been made to her Majesty, from which
opes were entertained of an amiealile settlement.—
IS was also very confidently stated, that the Ministers
of the Crown had subtnitted a proposition to her Ma-
jesty, through her Soficitor-tieneral, for leaving the
sottlearent of the affair between his Majesty and her-'
self tt the sole arbitration of his Royal Highness the
[hike of York ; and 'that this proposition had been
ekeetfully acceded to by her Majesty.
It has bees secreted, as the greens of preventing
the arms to the Queeti, by which we are told,
itt the Ministerial papers, her Majesty is open to in-
judicious &deice, that she should exercise her undoubt-
ed prerogative of appointing a Lord Chamberlain.
But villa of her recent messur,-s appears to here
been promptest, or in what respect has the advice sug-.
grated been found to hive been injudicious ? It would
be well, we are convinced, if (loyalty were always as
Much under the influence of plain good sense, and un-
sophisticated feeling. If official restrictions confine
h r Majesty's mind to the snegestions of policy and
etiquette, we shall then learn n Nether they are Letter
or nurse than the advice of `. officious intruders."
fled the counsels of diploniary been allowed to prevail,
the magnanimity and decision of her Majesty would,
we apprehend, have :.!forded us touch fewer occasions
fer admiration.

Yesterday morning the Dolts of York •iatted the

King.
His Majesty gave audiences yesterday to the Earl of
Liverpool, Viscount Castlereagh, Count Munster, and
the Martinis of Bute.
The Dublin Papers say, that it is the intention of
his Majesty to visit that city in the co••se of his nag•
tical excursion the ensuing autumn, and remain there
four days.
A temporary covered way was fixing up On Monday
and yesterday in the front of the King's Palace, at the
top of St. James's Park, previous to his Majesty's
Drawing-room, to-morrow, for the convenience of the

NEN PORT'S Wsreitronn 1101 K.—Yesterday a state-
ment of affairs was submitted to a few of the principal
creditors assembled at the batik. During the evening
the notes were disposed of freely, at, and under half-
price. The total of debts, we believe, is about e23,n00/.
The docket has been struck, and it is, we understand,
likely to be proceeded upon itinnediately.—( Ir/rtes-
./et(' Mirror.)
Fru. Spa:s we learn that the King has raised
two decrees of the Cortes, respecting the public
debt, to be put in force; by these decrees the nation
binds itself to the payment of all public debts con-
tracted by the Kings of Spain, the Jamas, and the
Councils of Regency ; as also the engagements con-
tracted by the Uencrals and intendants, for the wants
is( the finny employed •in the defence of the terri-
tory. These decree; also declare, that the debts
contracted by the Government since the I dth of
March, 181 d, and those to be henceforth rontracted
for the just caner of the nation, either with foreign
power., friends or neutrals, or with inslividnals, of
whatever power they may be subjects, shall be 'eli-
sion* acquitted by the nation, even in the case of a
declaration of war. The titles of the nobility are not
in future to be stated on the admission of persons into
the military colleges of Spain, or into the army ; as it
will not be allowed to use expressions which may sug-
gest ideas of the inequality or rivalship of the different
class*. of the people.
