ceived his majesty's commands TO INFORM
the queer, that it is not possible for his ma
iesty, under all the circumstances, to assign
any of the royal palaces for the queens re
sidence. Lord Liverpool has been further
commanded to inform the queen, that, until
parliament shall meet for the dispatch OF bu-
siness, the allowance which has hitherto
been enjoyed by the queen will be CONT
nued to her; and that it will then be tor par
lament to determine the amount OF the fu-
ture provision TO be granted to her maJes-
ty." In an annexed paper, lord Liverpool
adds, that be thinks it material to observe,
that this answer must not be understood as
Withdrawing the facilities which had been
previously offered for procuring residence
in London for the queen"
Yesterday Mr.. Brougham and Mr.. Den
man waited upon her majesty, to consult
upon what further steps should be taken in
this subject, when it was determined that
ner majesty should again write to the earl
of Liverpool, urging in still stronger terms,
the demand which had been made under
her sanction.
This letter was Immediately conveyed TO
the earl of Liverpool by the Hon. Mr.. KEEP.
pei Craven; but up to a late hour last night
no answer had been received.
The effect of the late speculations for
fall in the funds was made apparent at the
stock exchange during the last week. by
the failure of several persons who had taken
prominent part in them, and who, being
found unable to pay their differences, were
declared defaulters in the usual manner
There are four persons, we understand, in
this situation, and their differences are very
considerable. Ii is apprehended, too, that
this is not the whole of the mischief, and
that further disclosures Of similar nature
must occur before the termination of the pre-
sent account. To these failures is to be
principally attributed the rise in the funds,
which took place on Tuesday last as sud
den demand tor stock was thereby created,
in order to wind up the deficient accounts,
and to present them in a de6nitive form.
with an exact estimate of the loss incurred.
Consols on that day reached 69a; but as the
demand was wholly of an artificial nature,
and threw no money into the market, the
same stock fell on the following day 10 50
3-8, and has since continued with very lit.
tie fuctuation, at that level. The transa c.
tions of yesterday closed at 69 3-8 (sellers)
and at So 7-s for the opening Of the books in
January.-EngIishman.
Letters ofths 3Oth ult. were received yes
terday from Naples All fears of visit
from the Austrans had been removed by the
intelligence that the troops of that power
had all gone into winter quarters. No ad-
vices FROM Palermo had reached Naples for
the preceding nine days, aud they were
therefore still in ignorance of the effect pro-
duced there by the annument of the treaty.
The Naples paper Gil voce del Porolo) of
the 3lst ult. contains addresses from SYRIA
cuss and rrepam, declaring their submis-
sion to the NeapoIitan government. That
from Caitanissetta we daily expect.
We have received great mass Of Paris
papers 10 the 18th inst. No particular men
ton is made in them of the kings health,
but tappears that his majesty performs all
bis wonted duties, such as presiding in the
cabinet, and transacting business with his
ministers individually. Articles Of intelli-
gence from various places, as Vienna, Frank
fort Augsburg, and also from Italy, concur
in stating, that the Austrian army collected
in Italy had received orders to be in readi-
ness for an immediate march southwark ;
and letter from Vienna afirms positively
that Naples is TO be occupied by Austrian
troops, and that the old order Of things is to
be re. established. The English squadron,
under the command of admiral Moore, still
continues in the Bay of Naples. We re-
joice 10 hear that the people of Naples glow
with one sentiment of determined patriot
ism, and that the parliament promotes that
spirit which prompts the people to consider
liberty more precious than life. In the sit.
ting of the 23d the Deputy Pope alluded to
the dangers that threatened the country, and
censured the parliament for not taking mea-
sures sufficiently decisive to repel invasion.
The Executive was, he said. too remiss in
its proceedings. The fortresses were not
provided, the troops were neither well Or
gained or well disciplined. "As for my
self, (said hey at the first cry Of war | shall
quit this august assembly to defend the ma
