Hanover, Thursday, October 11, One o'Cloek.
The Court-yard of the Palace is at this moment
crowded to exce.s with Military Officers and grand
Dignitaries, corning to see his Majesty's levee,
which will be followed by a drawnig•rnn:o. You
may depend upon it as a fact, that his Nlajesty, in
visiting this country, does nut contemplate a matri-
monial alliance, as was supposed in London 'then
he left it. Nor do I believe, from all I can learn,
that his Majesty's pre.ence here is at all connected
with any measures of external policy. The prin►
opal object he has in view, a t understand from
gond authority, is to examine into the iiist:tutions
and polity of his Hanoverian dominions, in order
to correct any abuses that may exist its them, and
effect such improvements as, to his disctiminating
judgment, may seem advisable. These, lonely,
are objects worthy of a Monarch, who is here de-
servedly considered as the lather of his people.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER IL
The drawing-room at Ilerrenhausen, yesterday
evening, was attended by all the rank and fashion of
the country, rod there were also present several dis-
tinguished personages from Foreign Courts. The
two young Princes of Brunswick came at an early
hour, and the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was
announced soon after. The display was almost ex-
clusively of a military character, for all over the Con-
tinent the army is made the slander.' of rank, and
the criterion to which the different gradations of so.
ciety are to be referred. Among the host of Field-
officers who made their appearance in rapid succes-
sion, t he Pi ostler) General Tauenzien was recognised ;
and it is surmised, from his well-known ability in
court intrigue, that his presence here at this time is
connected with some political object. Every English-
man will be glad to find that, in a country where the
power of our Sovereigis is not controlled by popu-
lar influence, there exists not the slightest degree
of tyranny or oppression. The people in general
seem Peppy and contented, and it is impossible not
to he struck with the difference between their condi-
tion and that of their immediate neighbours. In
Hanover I have lint vet *ern a ankle beggar, while
in the adjacent Prussia,, territory every peaeatiit 1 met
presented the apinarance of the oust wre:ched flies-
dicity. About 40 English miles from this town
grand preparatioos are making fur a boar hunt in
honour of his Majesty. It is said that Saturday week
is the day when it will take place, and the spectacle is
expected to be the most splendid of the kind that
the 1-11.inoverians have ever witnessed. A machine,
somewhat in the form of a pavilion, and drawn by
wheels, has been constructed for the accommoda-
tion of his Majesty, in order that he may enjoy the
pleasures of the chase without the fatigue of riding.
His Majesty, since his arrival, has been frequently
visited in the course of the day by the Dukes of
Cambridge and Cumberland. The latter has with
him a suite of thirty-five persons, arrayed in gor-
geous liveries, and lucluding not fewer than twelve
pages. It is very probable, as 1 understand, that
his Majesty will set oat oil his return to England in
the early part of the week after next. He remains
fixed in his determination of not visiting any of the
three great, continental capitate. Before his Ma-
jesty's departure there are to be some splendid re-
views, and oue or two grand fetes, besides the base-
born. This day his Majesty receives addresses
Irons the Civil and Military Authorities, and to-
morrow he will dine with the Duke of Cambridge.
On Monday his Majesty goes to the play, and the
tickets are limited to a select number. There will
be to-morrow a review on a small scale, preparatory
to the growl one which is to take place iu the course
of next week.
