BRIGHTON. JAN. 21.

We yesterday mentioned that the Duke of Cla-
reme had left the Pavilion fur Combe-Place, to
dine there with Capt. Shitfuer, and afterwards to
intend the Ball at the County DaII at Lewes, given
to their Commander by the Officers of Capt. Shill.-
tier's Corps of Yeomanry Cavalry. EN Royal
Highness stilled at Combe-Place, honoured with
his presence the Ball, which was mo.t numerously
nod elegantly attended, and frequently joined in the
dance. From Lewes his Royal Highness returned
to Co mlre-Place to sleep ; but after he bad some
time retired to rest, he became suddenly indisposed.
Towards eight o'clock this morning ass expre►s
reached the Pavilion with au account of the Duke's
amt Dr. Tierney, in a post-chaise atoll four,
instantly proceeded to Coutbe Place. Dr. Tierney
returned to the Pavilion about eleven o'clock, and
the account l►e brought considerably allayed the
aloneness of the Regent.
The Duke had *Aired much pain from spasms
in the Chem!, owing to obstructed bile, but received
great relief, and was much better, before Dr.
Tierney lrft him. This favourable account
only prevented a journey to Combe-place by the
Prince Regent in person. Dr. Tierney once snore
hat the Palace to attend his Royal patient,
at live o'clock this afternoon, to remain at Cap.
tails tilsittner's all night, and to accompany the
Doke in Ins return to the Pavilion to-morrow.

The stone a hich is under the coronation chair in
Wisiniiiimer Abbey. and which is known by the
I.,laie of Jacob's Pillow, was a part of the Regalia
of the ancient kingdom of Scotland, brought from
Scolie l'.ll.ire by EDWARD I. The ancient Chronicles
allege. that this celebrated stone was brought by a
coloil from Egypt into Ireland, that it was always
mated with great veneration, and that it was an.
r"lnpanieil by u eIITIOUIi prophecy, that wherever
t-iit stone was found, a Prince of the Irish race
should he crowned. This prophecy was fulfilled
