DCK I. OF KENT.

It is well know• that the circumstances of this excellent
nice have tbr some years been much embarrassed, front
debts that were el morseled at a very early period of his life,
and that, in °Tiler to liquidate them, he has expatriated him-
self, and resigns d nearly the whole of his income to 50111 C
ogly. respeetabl e friends, who have undertaken the manage-
ment of his affair s, and by whom lie is allowed a few thousands
a year to enable him to live iu retirement abroad. By this con-
duct, so honourable to his character, a great proportion of his
debts have been liquidated, anti the whole, within a year or
two, are likely to liesettled. They originally amounted to 70 or
80,f 001. and have been reduced to less than unestbird of the
above sums. By his marriage with the Duchess, who is an
eminent pattern of every coajugal virtue, amid with whom lie
Lees at A morback, in Germany, on terms of the greatest do.
imestie happiness, a small addition wits made to the limited
income within which he had been restricted, and without
which, indeed, be could not have met the various expanses
to which liis change of state, and increase of establishment,
um.cssarily subjected him. The Duchess is in the family
way, and expect. to be conAned in the course of ne%t May.
It has Ix en generally expected, and as generally wished,
that the arroirchentmet would take place in England, that
the child might thereby become an Englishman by being born
in England, hut the public will learn with regret, that this
idea, which wa. the nearest and dearest wish of the hearts
of the Duke amid Duchess, bas been abandoned, by an
intimation received from m high quarter that such a step
was wholly naneceseary, and that great offence would be
given if carried into execution. The consequence is, that
the patriotic wish of the Duke is given up, and neither his
Royal Highness nor liis amiable consort will revisit England
for • very considerable period. The Duchess', brother,
Prince Leopold, has been on a visit to them, hut Ins return
to England may wow be shortly expected.--(Keening
