The KING'S VISIT (ode CONTINENT.

BoMIIIIIIO. MARCO 15.
Our readers remeMber that it was mentioned in
several German jou►nals last year that his Britannic
Majesty would •=tin honour the Continent with a
visit in the year ISt% and make • longer stay than
be did last year. We now learn from indubitable
authority that this event will take place in a few
swaths. According to letters which her Royal
Highness the Ls•dgravine of Hesse Homburg has
received from Loudon, the visit of her royal brother
Is announced to the Princess for the month of June.
In feet, preparations are 'heady making to cele-
brate in the most brilliant manner his Majesty's
%kit to this capital. His Majesty ionise expected at
Darmstadt, according to the verbal piomise which
he made last year to Prince Etnilius of Hesse. Ac.
cordingly several new operas me now preparing at the
Court Theatre in Darmstadt, to afford the /British
Sovereign a pless•re for *kith he expressed • great
desire on his last visit, and which was excited in
him by the great reputation which that theatre en-
joys in Germany.

With respect to the further plats of his Majesty's
tour, we learn from the woe source, that his Ma.
jetty thinks to visit the Courts of Vieons and Ber.
lin this year, and to arrive about the end of July
in his Hanoverian dominions, where he will visit
Pyrmont, the waters of which have been recom-
mended to him by his physicians. These accounts
do not a little contribute to give credit to the re.
ports of peace ; for the English Monarch, it is in.
loved, would hardly leave his island if the Conti-
nent of Europe was in danger of being visited with
the flames of war.—(Noremberg Correspondent,
