Wev shall not .trouble our readers with a summary or an abridge ment of their contents, presuming they will prefer to see for themselves ; It ap pears that interesting events have taken place in both England and France and threaten the repose of both." In En lant the opposition have assumed a bold stand on the the side of the Queen agains t the King; her busbahd ; they probably advised her in all her movements, as well . in the great step she has taken in com ing to London,' as in all minor actions; - In advocating her cause they have probably taken j the popular side, and such appears to be the fact from the en thusiastic plaudits she seems every where to have been received with. ' Whether the Queen is guilty or not, we possess no means of judging ; it would be presump tion, therefore, to hazzard a surmise ; at any rate, she must and will be. presumed innocent, till her guilt is made to appear. The English people will, in the first in stance be moved by that generous com passion for a woman that, they believed injured, though accused, which, it has been observed, is too apt to steal over the spirits and impose upon the judg ment of an honest man. We wait for further disclosures. BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr. Brougham rose, with a paper in his hand, and said " I have been com manded by the Queen to communicate the following message to the house," He then read to the following effect : The Queen'thinks it, necessary to in- Jorm the House of Commons, that she has been induced to return to England, jn consequence of the measures pursued against her honour and peace for . sonie m& by secret agents abroad, and lately sanctioned by the conduct of the Govern-, ment at home. In adopting, this course, her Majesty has had no other purpose ' whatsoever but the defence 'of her char acter, and the maintenance of those just rights which have devolved upon her by the death of that revered monarch, in whose high honor andunshaken affection she had always found her surest isupport. Upon her arrival, the Queen is surprised to find that a message has been sent down to . Parliament, requiring its attention, to written documents ; and she learns with still greater astonishment that there is an intention of proposing that these should be referred to a select committee. It is this day, 14 years," since the first charges were brought forward against her MajestjS0- Then,, and upon every occa sion, dilring that Hong period, she has shown the utmost readiness to meet her .: accusers, and to court the fullest enquiry into her conduct. She now also desires an open investigation in which she may see both the charges and the witnesses against her a privilege not denied to the' meanest subject of the realm. In the face of the sovereign, the parliament and the country, she solemnly potests against the formation of a secret tribunal to ex amine documents, privately prepared by her adversaries, as a proceeding unknown to the law of the land, and a flagrant vio lation ot all the principles of justice She ' rpllPS With full rrnf.rl ? .1 . v yuimutiivc ujjun ine in tegrity ot the house ot commons for Hp feating the only attempt she has any rea son 10 iear. ine ueen cannot forbear to add, that even before any proceedings cic icsmxvcu ujjuu, sne naa Deen treat ed in a manner too well calculated to rrf judge her case.

" Lord Castlereaeh. rose at 5 o'clock, and moved, that the order of the day, for the appointment of a secret committee to examine the papers attached to his jla jesty's gracious message be read, for the purpose of further postponing itf to Fri day next. His lordship felt assured, that the house wouldr concur in his feeling, that it Would beunbecoming in him to say a single .word respecting any thing which had passed elsewhere on the sub ject. He begged and entreated the house to keep in their consideration, that the postponement left things still in the same position. He was induced to name Fri day, as the most' eonyeriient 'day, Thurs day beingfixed upon for a court cer emo nial, which .usually precluded their en tering upon buisiness, and he would ra ther wish to appoint the term of adjourn ment a day later than earlier, which course would doubtless be the most satis factory to the house. (Hear, hear.) Sir M. W Ridlev duil'not rise to dis turb the unanirhity with which' the house met the noble Iof d7s motion, nor to seek to elicit one word more relative to so sen sitive a question. He cculd not, howev er, neglect to express his hope, that not only in that house, but out of if, every disposition would be evinced to support the views of those who were anxiously aiming to settle the affair by private ne gociation. He earnestly hoped that .no further publicity would be given to docu ments or " statements, whether: authentic or garbled, whilst these negociations were' pending. -General cries of hear, hear hear.) Much mischief certainly origina ted in such indiscreet publicity, which could have no beneficial effect, and was the calculated to irritate and pre public mind. .; . Mr. Brougham rose to concur in the motion of the noble lord, arid more es pecially to express the very great satis- action he derived from the earnest inti mation of his horn friend,-, (Sir M. XV. Ridley.) He could assure the ' house, Jiat the illustrious individual concerned, and her official advisers, were earnestly desirous of the .most scrupulous conceals ment. -( Hear; hear, hear.j Indeed he (Mr Brougham) had seen nothing pub lished which was analaeous to truth : if any thing real had transpired.i it must be attributed to indiscreet interference, arid a most indelicate breach of confi dence. The Queen, he must state, was not appropriately accomodated 5. and her position was perhaps ' favorable to offi- cious intrusions, which deteatea the wish s of those concerned, that nothing should go abroad on the subject. Lord tJastlereagh felt that he could not enter upon the subject . of ; accommoda- f tion, 'introduced by the lion, and learn ed member, without breaking that re- serve wtucn it: was acKnowieagea was most becomina: to observe, il ' ; Jhf. Brougham did not mean any thing invidious, by alluding to her lmajesty's present' accommodation. He was .aware that money to an unlimited amount had been offered to her, to enable her to pro vide herself a more appropriate residence; J but he menticneq it because it- was ieit that her position was favourable' to the propagation of reports which it was irri possible to controul. -(Hear, hear.)?; The motion was then agreed to by ac clamation. - - - HOUSE OF LORDS,; June 12. THE QUEEN. The Earl of Liverpool reminded their Lordships of the order which had been made on Thursday last, that the secret committee should not meet until to-morrow. He had made the motion for that order, not on any specific ground which could induce him to think it necessary, but upon hopes which appeared to be en tertained by their lordshi ps. Since , that period communications and explanations "ad :en place: He was nov prepared to say what might be the result of these communications and explanations; but the state of the buisiness was certainly such as to make a further adjournment, of the meeting of the committee desirahlp; He. therefore, intended to prooose that the day of meeting should be fixed on Sa-am turday next. Before he satdown he thought it necessary to observe, ; that I a fabricated account of the , correspondence on this subject had ; appeared, in which the documents were, most scandalously falsified, and a convenea mio iioeis ii was . ion of this, conduct that it must. an aggravation have been idone by some persons,' who 1 . v - . .!. i had seen the', originals, and who there- fore could not be ignoiant of the fabrica- tion. It was, .however, but justice-to say, that no blame could be imputed to her-Majesty's legal advisers. They had very honorably and voluntarily commu- nicated to his Majesty's ministers that they were no parties to the publication, and mat no poay couiu regrei 11 more ,than they did. .lie concluded ,by mov-, ing that the meeting of the secret t com- j mittee be postponed to baturday next.- Ordered. , , , From a Liverpool paper, June 14. From some proceedings in Parliament, hepes weie raised that the difference be- tweea the King and Queen would , be amicably adjusted. Her 'Majesty had addressed a letter to Lord Liverpool, that she was ready to receive any proposition consistent with Her honor which his lord ship might be disposed to make oh be half of the government1 j , I In consequence, a motion of Lord Cas-? tlereagh on the subject had been adjourn ed, to give ministers time; to deliberate. The result of the observations was the following note from Lord Liverpool. 1 . Fife HoUse,'- Whitehall. "Lord Liverpool informs her Majes ty.that the only proposition he had to make was the one submitted to Mr. Brougham, in April last ; but that Lord Liverpool assures her Majesty that the King's servants will think it their duty, notwithstanding all that - has passed, to receive for consideration any . suggestions which her majesty may have to offer up on the propositions. , M The Queen replied as follows : That she demanded all the rights belonging to the Queen of England. That before she was in possession of all hep dignities, she could not listen to anythr er, proposal. That when she Jwas , re stored to them, she would .'be readytb listen to any proposals from his Majesty's ministers. 1 I I Cabinet4 councils had been assembled subsequently to the above correspon dence at the Earl of 'Liverpool's hou se. Thev were in session on the 12th of June, to a late hour at night, and met a gain next day. The result not known, Dover, Monday 2 o'clock, P. M. HER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN ENGLAND. Before I proceed to the narrative of this important event, 1 wish to correct two or three trifling iriacuracies in, my for mer statement, dated Calias. lt seems that when-Mr. Brougham & Lord Hutch inson first arrived at St. Omer's on Sa turday evening, 'Mr. Brougham wast first introduced to her Majesty, who was ta king coffee ; after a few complimentary . observations on both sides, Mr. Broug- ham announced to the 4:een that: Lord Hutchinson, who had formerly been warm friend to her Majesty, and who was now a confidential friend of the King!, had come, in the spirit of sincere friendj ship to both, to make some proposals in his Majesty s's name. The Queen desi red to see Lord XJ utcliinson, ' forthwith : his Lordship was accordingly introduc ed, and took coffee with her .Majesty, who conversed on topics, till his Lord ship rose to go away, when her Majesty said that as, she understood he had some proposals to make to her from the King, she should wish to see them j in writing, and without delay. In consequence of this request, Lord Hutchinson wrote the following letter to Mr. Brougham, as the official adviser of her. Majesty : v 'f Sir -In obedience to the commands of the Queen, I have to inform you, I am not in nossession of anv nroposition or 1 - c. r S -. ' propositions detailed in a specific form of words which I could lay before her Majesty : but I can detail to you for her information, the substance of many conversations held with Lord Liverpool His Majesty's Ministers propose that 50,000Z. per ann. should be settled on the Queen for life, subject to such condi tions as the King may impose. I have also reason to know that the conditions likely to be imposed by his Majesty are, that the Queen is not to assume the style and title of the Queen of England, or any ti tle attached to the royal family of Eng land. A condition is also to be attached to tins grarivthat she is not to reside in any pair of the United Kingdom, or even to visit England; ( The consequence of such a visit will be? an immediate mes sage to parliament, and an entire end to all coitiproraise and negotiation. I b lipvp th-At there is no other condition ; I sure, nonet 6f any importance. ; I .think it right to send taiyou an jexrapt of aietter from Lord Overpcol ; to me his "words are" It-is ' material tthat her Majesty should know cdnfidentially, that if j shershall be so ill advised as tocoraeoverl jio inis country tnere must oe jan eim iu i Tall neieociatiori and compromise.C The I decision, 1 may say, is taken tov proceedl . . - . .- .mm against her as soon as she sets- herfoot on4 the British shore." I , cannot con-j elude thistletter without 'my',: humble, though serious? and sincere 1 supplication!, that her Majesty vill take these : propo- sitions into her most calm consideratior and" not act with an hurry :or precipita- meration tion on so important a subject. I hope ..ai my aavice win noioe misinterpreted, I can have ho possible interest which would induce me to give fallacious coun considerable agitation;, she was visibly sel to the Queen; But let .the' event be affected by , the cordial symptoms of, re what it may, I shall console mvself with gard which welcomed her home ; but me renection, inat, t nave pertormeu a painfulUuiy imposed on me, to the best of my judgment arid conscience," and a case iu the decision of -.which' the King the Queen the Government and the peo ple of England are materially interested; Having done so I fear neither obloquy nor misrepresentation. I certainly should not have wished to have brought maffers to so precipitate conclusion, but it is her iviajesiy s aecision. and not mine. 1 am conscious that I have performed mv du- ty towards her with every ' possible de gree of feeling and delicacy. ; I have been obliged to rnake use of yoUr broth er's name and hand, as I write with pain and difficulty, and thejQuefn .has refus ed to give any, even the shortest, delay. ... - " I have the honor to; be, sir, wit! great regard, your most obedient humble servant. . : ' ' y v : ' ' j "HUTCHINSON.'? u Mr. Brougham accordingly present- ed the letter ; the moment her Majesty read it, she expressed the utmost indis nation, and appealed to Mr. Brougham tor his opinion. 1 hat s. eentleman re marked, that, certainlv; that those we're riot conditions which he should advise her Majesty to accept. Her majesty test knew what was befitting her real situ ation. The Queen promptly replied ' My determination is soon forlmed ; I shall set out instantly for England it is in London, arid London alone, that I shall consent to 'consider any proposals of the King of England. ' Her Majes ty then requested alderman Wood, whose kind assistance -she had so frequently ex perienced, to order horses to be immedi ately put to the carriages and to despatch a courier. tp prepare horses on the road; betweeen St. .Onjer's arid .Calais. , She was particuiarly anxious on this last point, having evidently a very strong apprehen sion that thte; Freneh government might endeavour to intercept, or at least retard, her passage, to the coast, by refusing hor ses. This apprehension will account for her majesty's, haste to leave St.Onier's, & put herselr on board an English 'i packet At half past 5 "she left St: Omer's, in company with Lady Anne Hamilton ; her female att(?pdants followed in anoth er carriage, arid a'third carriage convey ed Aldermen Wood, his son and young Austin':. Mr. Brougham did not mke his appearance even to hand her Majes ty to her coach; she dispensed with-his attendance. Lord Hutchinson likewise refrained from showing himself, and thus the professional friend of the Queen, and the confidenlal-friend .of the King, were left behind to mingle reflections ! on the event which bad just taken place. It may be proper to mention, tfiat her Ma jesty was, on walking down the steps of the hotel at St. Olmer's, warmly attended by a great number of ladies of the first respectabi!ity, both French and English. A Qreek -'lady, the wife of Mr. Copeland, an English banker about to settle at Pa ris was introduced to her Majesty, who paid her some compliments on her in teresting' appearance ; the lady answer ed in Italian, and wished her a pleasant voyage," arid a speedy victory over her enemies. . ! "In the mean time, certain intelligence; had been received at Dover of her Ma jesty's appach j & some confusion seem ed to exist among the military authorities as to the mode of receiving her majesty. At last Col. Monroe, who is the com mandant of the garrison, determined to receive her Majesty with a royal salute ; he observed, (as we are informed) that as no special instructions had been sent to him, he conceived that he should best discharge his duty by obeying the gene-, ral rule, which was to fire a general sa lute whenever a royal person landed at Dover. This sensible decision gave great satisfaction to the people of Dover, who were flocking in t vast numbers and all dressed as if for a fete in order to view the disembarkation of the Queen, , The packet at about a quarter before one came close into the roads, but on account of ' the tide could not enter die harbour. ; Her Majesty; with her usual promptitude, as soon as she understood that it would be five o'clock before" the Vessel could get into the picr determined to go ashore in an open boat though the swell of. the wuici was so consirterable as to maK.e it difficult, to descend the ship's side. At length, however her Maiesty andJXuite - .1 l . . was sajely placed inthe boat, .which ra- . pidly approached the shore amidst : the most enthusiastic cheerings, from the countless multitude, on the beacli the heights; and all thef avenues leading to the principal hotel. 1 ' At One oclock her Majesty ; set I her foot on British ground -the: royal sa lute began'tp fire. -For a few moments her countenance, and manner bespoke she soon recoyerd herself and with a firm step, a composed manner, -and -tvitli "a smiling but steady countenance walking slowly among the crowded ranks otthe principal inhabitants. Well dressed fe-V males, young and old. saluted her with exclamations of. " God bless her : she has a noble spirit : she roust" be inno cent.". She appeared in rood hplth. 7. o her blue yes shining-with peculiar lus tre, but her cheeks had the annramnro ' it - v r of a long intiipacy with care and anxiety. ne is not so mucn en bonpmnt as, for merly, and her manner and figure seem ed perfectly; befiting her exalted sta tion. ... she was dressed with great, ele gance. .As she moved along the crowd gathered so fast around her, that she was compelled to take refuge in the York Hotel, Mr. Wright, of the Ship Hotel, seeing that it would be impossible for her Majesty, to reach his house on - foot, im mediately despatched an elegant oripn carriage to the York., The populace n a ----- removed the horses and drew it them. selves. A band of music preceeded her Majesty, and two large flags, bear ing the inscription of God save Queen Caroline,' were carried by some of the principal tradesmen. A guard of honor was placed at the door of the hotel, but the people did not seem to relish their appearance : the Queen observing to Alderman Wood that their presence ap peared rather, to produce an! unpleasant and angry feeling, the worthy Alderma ny suggested the propriety of their,going away. Her Majesty observed that al though she appreciated as it deserved the attentions of- the commandant, yet that she wanted no guard of soldiers, her firm reliance was on the just principles and cordial attachment of her people. Her Majesty then went to the principal win dow of the , hotel, and bowed several times with great grace and sweetness of manner to the happy assemblage. She then retired, and first taking a slight re freshment, lay down to rest, after the han assing - fatigues of body and mind which she has undergone. " - LONDON, JUNE IS, ARRIVAL OF THE -QUEEN IN ' ;: : LONDON. s . In our last we mentioned the arrival or her Majesty in Dover, at 11 1 o'clock on Monday, mbriiing ; at 6 o'clock, a dep ututioh of the inhabitants waited upon her, and presensed a congratulatory ;ad--dressson her arrival, to which she' repli ed in appropriate terms. The deputa-" tion had the honor of kissing her Majes ty's hand, and several ladies werei after wards permitted to enter and were kind ly received. The Queen ascended Her carriagejat half past 6, and was drawnV by the populace quite out of town, amidst the loiid and reiterated i "cheerings of an immense concourse. The horses were then put in, and the cavalcade proceeded towards Canterbury. s When her Majesty reached Canterbu ry, it was nearly dark ; the horses were however taken from the carriage and ihf Queen was drawn tnroush the. mam V t sr. Her Majesty alighted at the Fountain Inn; where' the Mayor and Corporation Vwaited with the' congratulatory address, which was immediatly presented In due forrii. She was1 received by thef Com- by manding Officers of the troops statione d in Canterbury, with the -customary horW ours, in consequence of direct ordt is from Government.' Her Majesty retin d to rest, and after taking an early brea1 -fast yesterday morning, preparation made for her immediate departure. H I e people would not. permit the horses to I e; put in the carriage, but insisted to dinw her Majesty completely through tl- town. Every window was thronged wiih spectators, and though the morning was very unfavourable the streets were crow ed with well-dressed people. The set re J was very imposing, and he Majesty ap- peared greatly affected. -Throuoh every village on the route towards London, t..i sauie enthuiiasiu prevailed. 4 S.
