711 E KING.

WINDSOR, APRIL 1.
The day being fine, his Majesty took his usual airing in
the Great Park.
Yesterday, the King took an airing in his phaeton, up
the Long Walk, to the Lodge, and returned to the Castle
about five o'clock.
His Majesty is in the enjoyment of good health, and
takes an airing every (lay, if the weather permits.

The Duke of Sussex visited the Princess Augusta yester-
day. Her Royal Highness's residence was again thronged
with the nobility and gentry' leaving their names and
cants.

The Princess Augusta dined with the Duchess of Glou-
cester yesterday, where there was a select party to meet
the Princess.

Yesterday morning the Princess Augusta and the
Duchess of Gloucester rode out in a carriage together, and
went to the King's Palace, in St. James's Park, where the
Duchess of Gloucester sat to an artist for her likeness.

IVednewiay the Duchess of Gloucester dined with the
Princess Augusta; there was a select party to meet the
Royal Duchess.
The Duke of Gloucester, we are sorry to say, is slightly
indisposed.

Tlie Earl of Liverpool continued better yesterday, but
I was not able to leave his house, and in consequence the
Cabinet Council, summoned by Mr. Secretary Canning to
assemble yesterday, did not meet at the usual place, but at
the Earl of Liverpool's, at three o'clock, and was attended
by the Lord Chancellor, and the whole of tho Cabinet
Ministers, with the exception of Viscount Sidtnouth.
They continued in deliberation till near five o'clock.
After the breaking up of the Council, Mr. Secretary Can-
ning was in consultation with the Earl of Liverpool for
some time.

Wednesday evening, the Cabinet Ministers dined with
Viscount Melville, at his house in the Admiralty.
Mr. Battier's appeal has not been fruitless of effect: the
Tenth Hussars will be re-modelled, and several of the
Officers separated into other regiments, into which they
must exchange, or resign. Sir George Quentin also loses
the command ; he is, we understand, to he removed at
once, and put at the head of the Military Riding Esta-
blishment at Pimlico, an occupation more fitted to his
talents and habits than the command of a regiment of
cavalry.
The Dublin Freeman's Journal, quoting a " Letter
from London," says—" Captain B---, of the loth
Hussars, the eldest son of a certain popular Baronet, has
arrived in town from Ireland; some of While's men say,
to fight his late Cornet, B—r. 'l'he Horse Guards
people say, to answer certain interrogatories ordered by the
Commander-in-Chief ; and a third party say, to offer some'
explanation to his own friends."
New Seswisii Low N.—We have received the follow-
ing account of the actual state of the negociations at
Madrid respecting the new loan, from a quarter on which
we have reason to rely : the agents of four eminent houses,
one of which is at Berlin, another at Amsterdam, and the
two others at London, have been for some time in treaty
with Ferdinand for a new loan, and their stipulation for a
recognition of the loans of the Cortes has been supported
by the indirect influence of the French Ministry. To this,
however, Ferdinand refused to agree, but consented to
leave the contractors an opportunity of taking in the bonds
in payment of the new loan, at prices which were not fixed
when the information left Paris. It is certain, we believe,
that the loans of the Cortes will not be recognized ver-
bally by Government, but it is done to a certain extent de
facto by the Contractors. M. de Villele is represented as
having exerted himself most honourably to bring Ferdi-
nand to a sense of justice, and the Marquis of Talaru was
instructed, in the name of the puissance, reunies (the united
powers), to protest against any act which would amount to
a national bankruptcy. The Marquis of Talaru, however,
not having made these representations in so urgent a
manner as was expected, it was resolved in Council, last
week, to recal him, and another Minister of acknowledged
talent is to be sent to Madrid, whose appointment will
appear in the Monitcur in the course of the present month.

Last night Madame Catalsni exhibited her usual powers
in the performance of the popular airs of "God save the
King" and "Rule Britannia, at Covent-garden Theatre,
on occasion of the benefit of Mr. Charles Kemble. We
understand that on Mr. Connor's night this distinguished
vocalist has consented to favour the public with " I'atrick'sl

l'he Journal du Commerce of Monday states, that the
Royalist volunteers of Toledo recently inunlered four per-
sons who had belonged to the Constitutional militia, and
afterwards dragged their bodies through the streets in
triumph. Yet, if the Indiealeur de Bordeaux is to be cre-
dited, the conduct of the Spanish Royalist volunteers is so
much approved of at Court, that the Queen of Spain has
written verses in their favour, which are to be printed and
distributed throughout the kingdom.
The Oriental Spectator states, that the finnan of the
Sultan, ordering his Mussuhnen subjects, under pain of
death, to deliver up the gold and silver which they may
possess, is executed with much rigour, that a Jew, who
iso
evaded the order, has been executed at Salonica. The
Jews offered in vain 200,000 piastres for his ransom.
The Southwark Sessions commenced yesterday, before
Mr. Arabin, for the Recorder, Aldermen J. J. Smith and
Wood. The calendar was light, and the cases tried pos-
sessed no public interest.
