We have to state, froth high authority; that the
paragraph from Vienna. in tile last Hatubergh snail,
relative to Prince LeordLn, is iu a very material
respect erroneoini. It is true that his Highness has
purchiiseil 'a house in the neighbourhood of that
city for the,sttat of 7,0001. sterltits, het not for lit*
own residence, as his Highness certainly rears,. to
England in the course of next mouth. Ho will re-
side ut Claremont during the summer, and at Marl-
borough House, Pall-snail, in the winter. The
house winch his Highness has pun li.ised at Vienna
is tint at any season intended Tor liptistlf, but for hi,
brother. to whom he has made a present of it. `We
are further assured, that his Highness means to
transfer some portion of his income to his sister, the
Duchess of KENT, who Is now ON her limy to Eng-
land with her Royal Consurt.—(Evesiak Pirier.)

but the voters were so determturd to have Mr.
LAWSON, •nd Mr. L•wsuN only, that poor Mr.
SPOONER, who came down rat wird. by Mr. Bus..

appear on the occasion.
