WINDSOR, Aug. 9. His MAJEsTy lesterday drove to Virginia Water in bm p o ny phaeton, accompanied by his suite, shortly after two o'clock. The Ktmo,.upon his arrival at the Lake, went on board the Royal yacht, and continued on the water until five o'clock. His MAJESTY then disem barked and dined in the marquees, where he continued with his suite until nearly nine o'clock.—His MAJESTY left the Royal Lodge this afternoon, accompanied by the LORD STEN ARD, in the pony phaeton, for an airing in the Great Park. His MAJESTY is expected to visit the Castle during his drive .—Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA returned to Frogmore Lodge from a visit to the D uc hess of GLOUCESTER, at Bagshot Park, on Friday .evening. Yesterday their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE and Count MUNSTER, visited the Princess AUGUSTA at Frogmore ; shortly after their arrival they accompanied the Princess to the Castle, and were at tended by Sir G. WY ATV ILLE through the new apart ments ; after leaving the Castle they took an airing through Windsor and returned by the side of the Thames to Frogmore. The Duke and Duchess of GLOUCESTER, with Count MUNSTER, left Frogmore Lodge, at half past five o'clock, for Bushy Park. The Princess AUGUSTA and her Ladies in Waiting, heard Divine Service this forenoon at the parish Church. The bands of the Grena dier Guards and the Royal Horse Guards played on the Terrace this afternoon for two hours to a fashionable company of visiters. Great preparations are making for the celebration of his MAJESTY'S Birth-day (next Wed nesday) in this town ; and the Bachelors of Windsor have been using great exertions to outvie any former amusements at their annual revel in their acre: The fire works will be under the able direction of the Chevalier SOUTHBY, of Vauxhall. For some days past the foun dation has been preparing for the Equestrian Statue of his late MAJESTY, to be placed at the top of Snow-hill, in a direct line with the Long Walk, the first stone of which will be laid by his MAJESTY, on Wednesday next <his MAJESTY'S Birth-day). This noble monument will be sixty feet in height, the bronze figure twenty-five feet, the pedestal of granite stone twenty-five feet, and the mound of earth ten feet. THE KING. We do not believe there is an individual in the British empire at this period (and it is an extraordinary thing to say) who does not take an interest in the personal happiness of our popular and gracious Monarch, and wish him long to enjoy life and health. Our present little peep, therefore, behind the curtain cannot but be aceeptable. At his cottage at Wibdsor, when relaxing from the weighty affairs of State, the Ems almost daily goes out in his pony phaeton, drawn by a pair of u beautiful and perfectly traiced ani mals as could well be fancied. His Mastery drives himself, and generally sweeps along at the rats of ten miles an boor, showing himself a dexterous as well as graceful charioteer. To vary this ex miss riding on horseback has been mentioned, and some prepara tions made : but even kings are not omnipotent; and it Is curious to find that a difficulty of procuring a bone powerful enough, and yet of a kind to suit the Royal rider, has hitherto prevented this design from being carried into effect. To drive merely,witbOut an object. would soon become tiresome; and we rejoice to hear that oar Sovereign devotes himself with great ardour and pleasure to the superintendence and direction of Wield improvements continually making in his fine and noble park. The formation of new reads, the laying down of lawns,• the erection of tasteful buildings, altere d= in lakes and waterfalls, planting, and all those other quiet and charming pursuits which occupy the well-dispoied time of a country gentleman, and employ without wearying the mind,are the favourite recreations of his Majesty in retirement, and contribute greatly to that state of vigour which he so happily possesses. At this particular moment, too, we are glad to find his Majesty engaged M a work not only congenial to such °emanations as we have deseelbeli. but par taking of a higher character, as a tribute of filial ametlw and lasting national remembrance. We allude to the grand equestrian statue of Gasses 111. which has been so long under the abk hands of West. macott, and for the elevation of which the she was last week di rected to be prepared. It is generally known that Ms production of the sculptor's art is designed by our iliastrlous Kw to comae literate the virtues of his pod and venerable father. It is to be placed on a certain spot in that superb vista called the Lang-walk, which is seen with so much advantage from the towers of Wind sor, and leads towards the rural residence of his present Maltese; so that whenever he passes to and from his abode and his palate. this object will strike his attention. The site in itself will be com manding. and the statue, from its position and magnitude. have • grand effect. The ground, enclosed by a palisade, is to be 150 feet square ; and within this there is to be a platform of masonry, forty feet square in the base, and elevated about thirty feet. Sur mounting this will be the statue, about twenty-five feet in height, the figure of our late mitered Km on horseback, with his arm ex tended and pointing to Windsor, as if still protecting the plate which in life be loved. We have only seen drawings of this ; but, if we may judge from them. the monument, which is nearly finished, will be the most impressive erection of the kind (even independently of its high associations) which has ever been exe cuted in this country—a great effort of art, a just tribute to a lamented Monarch, and an immortal bagger to the heart aids son and successor.—Lit. Quoits. COURT CIRCULAR. The Duke of Cu x BERLAND returned to town at a late boor on Friday night, from his vklt to his Musser, at the Royal Lodge in Windsor Park.

To-day has proved a blank, it was so complete a calm. The third Cup to be sailed for by the yachts named in the STAS of yesterday could net start; and we have had a rowing match by the boats, which was Won by the Menlo. If there is a wind, we expect it will be sailed for tomorrow.—On Monday, the fourth Cup is given to be sailed for, by schooners, loggers, and square rigged vessels, of any tannage, among which is expected Lord Bel fast's frigate, which was launched yesterday. She is a beautiful li n ts:l of onlytoos.

On Fr iday the Ladies Cup, value 2.10 guineas, to be sailed for an nually until woe by one member in three successive matches. The Ladies herein intend, we presume, to teach the aspiring youths.of the Royal Yacht Club, by patient perseverance, a proper estimate of their favours : there will be a ball, of course in the evening.— Me town, I am very sorry to say. is far from being fall, and the traders and lodging-houses arrmalting sad complaints. • SATORDAT•••ThiS morning exhibited every appearance, of beat, and the wind, which was very light, was from the westward ; in deed there was so little of it, that it was a question if the yachts, 'Which were to have sailed yesterday, would he . able to decide their claim to the third Cup of 100 suinsas, given by the Club.

Of the many amusing '• Memoires" which have lately teemed from the French press, the " Memoires de Madame du Barri," in point of vivacity, entertaining anecdote, gossip, and historical. reminiscences, outstrip them all. Saturday last, we introduced Madame nu BARRI to our readers ; and we now propose to make a few selections from her book—promising that in making these selections we shall endeavour to conform to the en- tertainment of all who have any taste for French litera ture, and try to avoid giving offence to the most fai tidious " I was one day," says Madame, " crossing the garden of the Tuileries, when I observed that I was followed. The individual who thus followed me was a youngman of an agreeable exterior. He came up close to me, and walked, without speaking, to the house where I went—rue du Bac. When I had ended my visit, I came out and found the same young man, who bad remained at the door like a sentry. He still accompanied me, always walking beside me, observing a profound silence, as far as my lodgings, op. posh. la rue des 'Moulins. I was really annoyed. I put myself at the window, and saw him still walking in the street. looking at times at the door of my house. This tenacity gave me unea-iness, and I was hardly recovered from my surprise, when going out on the following day I again recognised my garde du corps. However I examined him; I could not help thinking he had a very agree able deportment : his figure was perfect, his large black eyes full of fire, his mouth beautiful—his appearance distinguished. fist be had in his countenance something mysterious and sombre which rather displeased me. He was dressed with a noble simplicity • he wore a blue silk dress, trimmed with a narrow gold lace, similar small clothes, and a buff silver worked waistcoat. The hit, sword, buckles, the whole in short, was of good taste, more elegant than ricb. " I looked at my stranger, and wondered why be followed me so ?and if be was in love with me, why keep silence? I felt ez cesdvely anxious to enter into conversation with him. I went into the darkest walks of 'the Tuileries Gardens, in hopes be would speak to me there. But no : he followed me, he accompanied me again to my lodgings like a shadow—always true to his adopted silence. Tt was impossible for me to overcome my curiosity say longer. I had a chambermaid, a young Normattde, not less for ward than myself, and nearly as handsome. She was au foil of all my affairs, and never drew back when the question was to oblige me. When I returned home, I called Henriette, and showing her the stranger, intimated to her my extreme anxiety to know who he was, and why he followed me? " Mon Dieu! Mademai sale," said Henriette, " that is very easy : it is only to mk him, and, if you permit me, I will go directly to him." " Run, Hen rietta, run, and I will look behind the curtains of my window." She approached the young man, spoke to him in a lively manner, saluted him gracefully, and quitted him almost immediately. In my anxiety to know the result, I went to meet Henriette. When she came back : " Well," said I.—" Well! Madame, he is either a inadssan or a dangerous person." "By what do you judp this?" "By his words. He told nee he did nog follow you, and that he did nor even think of you. Of what good these falsehoods? 3la tot, I am afraid of that young man." " A thousand conjectures ran across my mind, some more foolish than others. Two days after, however, the weather being so (remelt line, although rather cold in the morning, I detemeired to take a walk. It was in the beginning of the winter of 1767. I directed again my course towards the Tuileries. I need not say that my shadow always accompanied me. I was walking sedge the trees nest the terrace, close to the waterside, determined es hazard an explanation; but the stranger kept himself at a retest fel distance. I approached the Champs lames, where, ins s sudden. a cold and thick fog overtook me, and the darkness pow vented me from distinguishing the least object near me. I asir Itinned nevertheless my way, though messy, when I heard sum. body walk NNW me. Frightened, I turned round : I found Orwell exactly opposite the stranger. " Sir," cried I, "what do you want with me? Ido you no harm. Why follow me?" The stranger made an effort to smile : he took me by the hand. and after having respectfully kissed it ; Mademoiselle." said he, with a soft !tut firm voice, "promise to grant me the first reasonable favour I shall ask of you when once you become Queen of France." lAt these words, easily perceived I had to do with a madman. " Yes, Sir," I immediately replied, " I will grant you what you demand when I shall be Qom of France." I could not help re. turning this answer with a smile bordering on contempt. He perceived it. " You think probably I am insane," he rejoined; " have of me, I beg, a better opinion. Adieu, Mademoiselle. Neat to your sodden striation, there will be nothing more extraor dinary than your fall." The stranger pronounced this as if actually inspired. He saluted me, threw himself in the midst of the fog , and disappeared. From that time be ceased to persecute me, But. Ton will ask, have I seen his since? That is what you will learn if you continue to read my mewl." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Ot►er manufacturers are very wisely diminishing their number of work people ; but none of the mills, *kb the above exception, ate stAnding still, or likely to do so. From Brad. ford, Halifax, Huddenfield, and Wakefield, our accounts are of a gloomy character. Good crops, and a well gathered harvest, would do muck towards alleviating the prevailing distress, though even them great national blessings would not remove it. and in their ab mace the condition of the country would become deplorable.— Leak Mercury. Reaping has already been partially commenced in the seighbourhowl of Fares, where the harvest is generally among ti e earliest in Scotland. Letters from Amsterdam of the 6th instant, mention, that the passing of the Balkan by the Russian army created a great rise in the northern stocks at Hamburgh and Berlin. We have received the following letter from Paris, by the Express, dated 7 o'clock in the evening—" The re pit of an Ultra-Administration going to take place. has shaken funds, which has lowered to 78f. 25c. ; but our „.,, left off at 79f. 35c. The public are much against this new change, and particularly dislike Perronnet, who was against the Charter. Report says he is to be one of the new Ministry. L-tters from Toulon, July 30, bring accounts that the brig Hussard had returned from Algiers, bringing dis patches for the Government from the Commander ofitLe blockading squadron.—lnformation received by the ship Province, states, that on the arrival of Labretonniere be fore Algiers, he sent in a flag of truce, which was well received by the Dey, to know if he would again enter into a negociation to terminate the differences. The Dey an swered that it would not be a difficult task, and it would be satisfactory to bun to have it amicably settled. He also informed the flag of truce. that they need not be limier any apprehensions for the safety of the French prisoners as they were so well treated, that he doubted they would return again. It is stated that according to preliminaries agreed on, the ship Province was to enter the Bay of Algieis the day after the departure of the Hussard, on the 27th ult. when the negociations were to commence immedi ately ; but some persons think, wiu are well informed. that this is only a ruse de guerre on the part of the Dey to gain time for the winter season to approach, wheu the French ships cannot remain off Algiers.
