The Royal Party changed horses at the Black Boy, Chelmsford, about three o'clo.•k. On their arrival at Colchester, a guard of honour, composed of the 4sd Light Infaltcy, attended by a band of music, marched from the Barracks, and were stationed near the Three Cups inn, and presented arn.e upon the approach of the Prince Regent's car riage, the band playing " God save the King." At Ipswich, the inhabitants being apprised of the route of the Royal Party, a great concourse assembled to welcome their arrival ; the popu lace attempted to take the horses for the carriage, nor would ;hey desist, until his Royal Higfrhess addressed them, and kindly entrea►ed they would permit him to proceed without delay.— The Prince Regent has arrived in town; and yesterday his Royal highness, with the Duke of Cumberland, le. t town for Windsor. His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. arrived cn Friday i❑ his bed barouchc, at Windsor, and from the luggage attached to the carriage it is expected his Royal Highness will remain at the Castle some days. The honorary badge of the House of York-...the White Rose— has been restored to the Ist West York Militia, by his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. The appointment of Col. M'Mahon, to the Office of Paymas ter o'. Widows' Pensions, will occasion some discussion in the Howe of Commons, the place being one of those of which their Committee had recommended the abolition. On Monday evening, in consequence of the circulatiln of some hand-bills, a meeting of the friends of Mr. Jones Burdett 'took place at the Cottage of Content, in Lock's-fields. The meeting seemed to have ben rather it:-digested; but Mr. Kem rnish, after the company had waited for• some time, was pre vailed upon to take the chair. It was tier. resolved, " that Jones Bqrdett is a proper person to represent - the Borough of outhwark, and that a Committee be formed tor the purpose of considering of the best means to secure him his election at thy next dissolution of Parliament.

The Chanticleer, which arrived at Sheerness, an Friday, was in company at the time, and had five men wound ed, and received considerable damage in the action which took place with the enemy. , The Manly and . Flamer sailed from the 11ore, on the 17th ult. with 3O sail of merchantmen, and the Chanticleer from the Humber, on the 3d, with three sail.

This latter indulgence is not aliowcd in any preceding licenses received. A second license of a similar nature has also reached town. When the Commander of the French gitardship in Rochfort Roads boarded the Semiramis, on the 24th ult. in his gig, Capt. Richardson, in very good French, desired him to conic on deck ; which he did, and soon found his mistake. His i. , tonislunent may be more easily Conceived than described; lie shrugged up • his shoulder;, and said, east une grande nwprise. Capt. R. then desired him to walk down into his cabin, and take sonic refreoi mein, and, when lie had succeeded in carrying his plan into exe cution, he would come down and talk with him. Several Spanish vessels on the coast of Africa have been con demned at 'Sierra Leone, for having taken on board in England part of their outward cargo for the Slave Trade.

The Governors of the Margate Sea-Bashng Infirmary held a General Meeting on Tuesday, when it was determined that proper objects, who might be resident in the county of Kent„ should have in future no difficulty in obtaining admission into that Institution. It was also proposed to keep the Infirmary open the whole year, it being understood that many of the mot: serious cases of scrophula cannot be materially benefitted with out a protracted residence at the sea-side. About seventy ot the Governors dined together at the Royal lintel ; Sir Edward Knatchbull, one of the Kentish Members, and a Vice-President * was in the Chair.

The reason alledged tor this is, the great probability of war be tween France and Russia.. A poor girl, in the employment of a dairyman, at Brompton, was assaulted on the Kensim ton-road, on 6-turday evening last, ebaut nine o'clock, by a rufilan, who, 4fter having insulted h'r in the grossest manner, drew a knife, and stabbed her in the arm. Front the darkness of the nleht, she could tilt distinguish the person of her, assaulter, but from the general description she gives of 113 manners and conver-ation, it is generally conceived he must have been the same villain who assaulted Miss Law• son, of Chelsea, some days since, in Hyde Park.
