THE PRINCESS OF WALES.-011 Thursday se'n night, Mr. Sicard, Steward to the Princess of Wales, vibe, since her departure from this kingdom, has resided at Kensington Palace, received a letter from her Royal Highness, informing him that she was on her way from Pesaro to England, where she expected to arrive in a very short time ; and desiring him to communicate to Mr. St. Leger her wish that he should immediately proceed to Calais. to be in rea diness to meet her un her arrival there, and that Miss Genii and Mrs. St. Leger should repair to Do ver, in order to be in readiness to attend her Royal Highness on her landing at that place. The Princess also expressed a wish that her apartments at Ken sington Palace shou'.'. be prepared for her reception. The moment the contents of the letter were made known, the surprise that took place was greater than can well be expressed ; and no small degree of confusion and embarrassment prevailed among the present inhabitants of Kensington Palace. A similar surprise was; on the receipt of the intelligence, ex cited at Carlton-house, and the other Royal Palaces, no individual belonging to which had the slightest intimation that the illustrious personage in question intended so soon to come back to this country. At the time when her Royal Highness left England, the whole of her furniture was removed from the apartments she had occupied at Kensington Palace; and no idea having been entertained that she in ' tended again to return to them, some of them love since been appropriated to the establishment of their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Kent. Under these circumstances it has been concluded, that the idea of siturding the Princess an accommo dation at her late residence must be altogether aban doned ; and we understand that a house, with every suitable convenience, has been provided at Black heath, - and that it will be ready for the reception of her Royal Highness as soon as she reaches that place. The Princess has not yet arrived, but is ex pected very shortly. Various (and indeed some strange) conjectures have been hazarded as to the motives that could have induced the Princess to re visit a country where nothing any longer remained to excite her interest,. nothing to attract her re gards, and to whieit it was supposed she had bade a final adieu. Ilut tl.c,tnest probable reason is the suit which is new pending in Chancery, where her Royal Highness is a plaintiff, and the Earl of Li verpool and Cuunt ,Mutiter defendants. It is said, that in etaisequence of some doubts which have been eotertained respecting the validity of a certain in. strumeitt on which the issne of that suit depends, the. presence ot• her Royal Highness is indispensably u~.•rssary to remove the same; and that without sueli a proceeding she will Out Le able to recover the sLe sr.cd tilt. We arenss:irot that part of the Foldicrs who were n•moveil from I..Lve dispersed throuo the lilircnt proincLs and joined the Gueril- Iss. If this be true, the Court of Madrid cannot but feel uneasy. Vill that Court still refuse to otake any concession to the spirit of the age? AUGUST Ig. TBE PLAGUE. ..Now•- REPORT. The Select Committee of the House of Commons, ap. pointed to consider the validity of the doctrine of con tagion in the plague, and so report their observations thereupon, together wish the minutes of the evidence taken before them, to the House —hase considered the matters to them referred, mind ;tare agreed upon the following rei:ort . . . . . Your CoMaittee, being appointed to consider the va lidity of the doctrinesconeerning the nature of contagious and infectious diseases, asdistinguished front other apedi mica, have proceeded to examine a number of medical gentlemen, whose practical experience or getresal know ledge of the subject appeared to your Committee most likely is furnish the means of acquiring the most amis. factory infoimation. 'limy have also had the evideften of a number of persons whose residence in infected 011111lfiell, ur whose commercial or official einployinctits, viable them to communicate inlOrtnation as to facts,. and ou the principle and efficacy of the laws of quaran tine: all the opinions of the medical men witout your Committee have examined, with the exception of two, i are in favour of the received (townie, that the plague is a disease communicable by contact only, and different in that respect from other epideniic frier ; nor do your Committee see any thing in the rest of the et 'dente they have collected, which would induce them to dissent from that opinion. It appears front mime of Ihe et deuce that the extension and v•ruience ol the disorder is con siderably modified by annospheric ; ar.d a doubt has prevailed whemer, under any circumstance, the disease could be 'milted died premagateil iii the di. male of Britain. No fact wnatever has been staled to show, that any instance of the disorder has occurred, or that it has ever been known to hate been kr:tight into the Lazarettos for many years : but your Committee du not think themselves warranted to infer from thence, that the disease cannot exist in England, because in the first place, a disease resembling in most respects the plague is well known to have pr....veiled here in many pe►iods of our history, particularly in ititis-6; and farther,. it appears, that in many places, and in climates of various nature, the plague has pretaiied after intervals of very considerable duration. Your Committee would also ol,serve, down to the year 1800 regulltions were /Wowed which most Dave had the effect of preventing goods infected widi the plague from being shipped dirixtly fur Britain ; at d they abstain from giving any opinion on the nature and application of the quarantine regula.ions, as not falling within the scope of inquiry to which they have been directed ; but they see no reason to question the v.ilidlty of the principles on which such reouirtions appcJr to hare been adopted. June 14,1819. Pftnrcic Lam.°Ln.—On Wednesday morning, about 10 o'clock, Prince Leopold arrived in town, at Marlborough-house, from Claremont, in his tra velling post-chaise, attended by Baron Harden brooke, followed by Sir Hobert Gardiner and Dr. Siockman, in a barouch. His Royal Highness and Suite only remained during the time of changing horses, and then proceeded through London to Bar. net, on his way to Scotland, where his Royal High neas will visit the Marquis and Marchioness of Staf thrd ; also the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Lauderdale, and several others of the Nubility and personages of distinction in the north. One of the Chinese. Jugglers has been committed. to Lincoln Castle tin. trial, fur stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, from the Inn where they slept at Gainsburough. Canova is at present building a church at his own expence, to adorn his native city in the state of Ve nice. It is to be built in the antique style, and it is estimated that the expence will exceed 100,001) piastres. The Government of England, as one sole Mo narchy, is of a thousand years standing—from the time of Egbert, in the year 819. Scotland, the Northern Part, was a distinct Sovereignty of about 1100 years standing ; and Walc3 was erected into a kingdom by hlwello, son of Cadwallader, the last King of the Britons. They are all three now hap pily united, under the name of Great Britain.— Wales being incorporated with England iu the reign of Henry the Bth, and Scotland being united to it in the reign of Queen Anne, May 1, 1707. On the Di jeer sloop of war being lately taken into Ardrussan harbour, a great crowd of people as. sembled to view her, and among the rest a sly wea ver from the country. One of the ()them being ashore, and rather surprised to see such an assem blage, asked this wag, who chanced to be near him, what could excite so much wonder among the peo ple ?"—" 0, Sir, replied he, " it is the owners, come to see the vesrel !"—" Ownera, Sir r-" lies, Sir, they all hull shares; some more,some less !". In repairing one of the walls of the fitment church of Ogbourn St. George, near Marlborough', a few days ago, the workmen discovered a large groupe of figures painted on the wall, covering a space of 17 feet square, which appear to be the " Descent into Hell." " l'he last Judgment," and " The Triumph of the Church." Many of the ' figures are in a perfect state. On the wall abore the column of the middle aisle they found under the whitewashing a figure upwards of 9 feet high, in the position of striking a rugged shift on the ground, and beneath the painting a smal l design of a ship, with marine emblems. 58
