BAILLIE h W. HE SERDER, J. WILLIS, R. AV1T.1.11,." Some interesting anecdotes, relative to the King, are now in circulation. During the List month, it is said, his Majesty bas experienced frequent lucid intetyals, and has conversed 00 general topics with all his Physicians. He expressed great anxiety to have an interview with the Duke of Wellington, and appeared to he affected in the highest degree by the sub ject of the marriage of his grand-daughter ; but it is singu larly remarkable, he gave directions that a favourite horse should be destroyed on a fixed day, having attained a certain a..ze, in conformity with a written memorandum made by himself some years ago, which was found in the place pointed out by his Majesty, and whit]] proved in every respect to cor• respond with the period pi escribed. It is slid, that the Princess of Wales, previous to her quitting England f( , r the Continent, made an arrangement, that alt those domestics of her household who on that occa- . mon might be discharged should let:rive one year's wages, and board wages until they should procure another situation; and to those faithful domestics who had been some years in her service, her Royal Highness granted annuities for their lives. The Officers of the loth Hussars have presented a Memo rial to the Pi ince Regent, upon which a Court of Inquiry will, it is !Jelieved, shortly take place. Indeed, it has _been a Jong matter of astonishment that the Lieutenant-Colonel did not demand this inquiry himself, after the following letter made known to the regiment while in the Peninsula:— Extract from the Adjutant-General's letter to Major-Gen. Lord E. Somerset, commanding the Hussar Brigade :—" I am commanded by my Lord Wellington to take this occasion of mentioning, that the complaints acainst the Intl) hussars are so genetaliy and so extremely discreditable to the regi ment, and prejudicial to the interests of the arms', that it is requisite you should immediately adopt measm es to re-esta tii,h that discipline which is necessary to good order, but vibich has Leen allowed to relax in an nnpat donable degree tinder the command of Lieuttmant•Colonel Quintin.—Your Loldship be so good !o entmminicate to the Lieutenant- Colonel the Fied-Marsital's displeasure at having to notice it regularities it NT as in his lower to have prevented, and that a recut rence cif such breach of regulations and good order, will convince his Exct llcncv that the Lieutenant-Colonel is unequal to the command of a regiment of the fiat preten- &ions." The Duke of Wcrington, with the permission of Govern ment, has purchased the Borghesc Palace at Paris, for t 36.0001. as rhe pet manent residence of the British Ambas sador at the Court of France. It is understood that Sir U. Wellesley, whose conduct as Ambassador in Srain during nearly the whole war has pro cured for him the esteem of all parties, has obtained leave to retu , n to England. His Excellency has concluded a gene ral Treaty of Alliance with the Spanish Government, which engages n' t to renew the Family Compact with France. There is no stipu!atifm for the Aboltion of the Slave Trade. Loi it Ca , ,tlereagli arrivcd at Liege on the 28th ult. at mid night, and set out again at five in the morning on his way to Vie•ina. Tai'evrand, Prince of Benevent, is to leave Paris for Vienna, between the inth and llith of this mmith. One of the late Paris Papers contains a statement of the military force which Buonaparte had at the ha:tle of Leip sic ; the infantry amounted to 178,000 i cavalry, 2.8,0000 — Grand total, 200,0U0 men. ilith SEPT. 11. ' Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, Sept. 6.—" An order came to-day to stop the embarkation of the Staff depot: the information was they would not go to dimcrica until the spring." The destination of the Valiant, 74 (which was to take Lot d Hill), is altered. She now goes to the Brazils, with the Duncan, 7f, to bring home the Prince Regent of Portugal." Buonaparte, whenever he dined abroad, had his own vic tuals conveyed in boxes to the place of entertainment, dressed by his own cooks.—The city of Paris at the late ner enquired of Louis if he wished the custom to be con tinued ?—“ My good friends," said he, with a smile, " :ea the Municipal Body, that when I dine alo cad, I bring no thing' with me but a goed appeti'e !" During the last campaign in Germain - , Buonaparte once said to the late King of Saxony, who complained of the continual privations that so hurthensome an ally o . casioned to his sulkcts, " I fully appreciate the magnitude of the sa crifice which the city of -Dresden makes in my came ; but only let me conquer Prussia, Poland, and Russia and I will indemnify you so generously, that I will make your capital a pc! feet terrestrial Paradise."—" The thing is easy, observed a Princess of the Royal Family of Saxony, Kt tit t at the conversatiou, " for the inhabitants are already as caked as our First Parents." " I understand," said Buonaparte to one of the most rel. peetable of his Councillors of State, " that you presume to condemn my operations in your miserable circles, and that you blame the war : learn, then, that the war will endure longer than your white hairs." For the happiness of the world, this prophecy was not so well verified as his. suspicious prediction to General floche of his death, a few days before he was actually killed, A letter received from Italy contains the following pas sage sage:—" Buonaparte is forming a !stinting establishment at Elba. The types, presses, &c. have been ordered from the adjacent Continent. It is believed that in addition to the memoirs of his own life, which will be to jilted there, be in tends, in imitation of the other Sovereigns of Europe, to publish a Court Gazette. As a measure of state, of policy, or of finance, the plan is strongly recommended. Tits Court Gazette of Elba throw dignity on that petty so. vereignty ; as it will be eagerly sought after, its circulation will add to the revenue ; and if not prohibited in foreign states, s it will keep up the hopes of the disaffected in France and Italy, and perhaps prove the ripening germ of another revolution in those countries." The Duncan, 74, Captain Usher, is ordered to be fitted up to convey the Prince Regent of Portugal frotn Rio Janeiro to Lisbon; Rear-Admiral Sir John Poo Botsford will hoist his ftig in her.—On the at rival of the Prince Regent at Lis bon, Mr. Canning, will act as British Ambassador.

The clii.cr sister, of course. had the priority. the younger one standing by, and waiting impatiently, as it first appeared, for her turn arriving, when she also might be Wade happy. Such, however, was the effect which the performance of th. ceremony and the pronouncing the dreadful words, • honor and °low,' had on the spirits of this lady, that she, without sa3ing a word broke from the arm of her ex• pectaot swain, rushed out of the church, and having gained the out side of the building, she set off full speed, and continued her course till she reached the house of a female friend at the distance of tw o macs, to whom she declared she would never by marrying give any man an opportunity of commanding her. l'he disappointed bride groom continue.l some time fixed in the church, but whether he. his b , s(l fortune, or rejoicing at the narrow mar: he had, w v are not able to sad'.
