Jog presented their *emsl reports, his 31ajesty, in the Council of
State held no the Oth of February last, less pleased to create •

GENOA.—
We hare received the following interesting communica-
tion from Genoa:—

°gun*, Masco 31.
This city has been in a elate of great bustle and agitation lately,
owing to the expeettd arrival of the King and Royal family from
Turin. Their Majesties arrived on Wednesday kat, and took pa._
mission of their magnificent palace in the Strada Build, formerly the
residence of the grew Burszta. Four regiments of infantry and
ore of cavalry, were drawn up t receive them in the Piazza dell'
Autos Verde, and the whole population went out to meet the Royal
carnage:l, as far as the Fauxboorg of San Pier d'Arena. Nothing
entail exceed the splendor of the spectacle, as the procession moved
round the Light-house; the batteries, and the ships of war in the
I harbour, firing saltitze of 21 guns. The King was met at the first
gsge of the ci:y by the Bovernor,l'apt. G. Raid, commander of the
I Port, the Marquis de Hoyt, the Baron %itch, and some other din_.
tioguished foreigners. Moat of the English visitors and residents
were stationed in the Strada Italbi, and cheered his 31sjeaty most
loudly as he passed. No Sovereign can be more popular either
iunongst his subjec:s or amongst strivigent, as his benevolence and
liberality in inatin.n. of religion are unparalleled His 3lojesty I
I particularly noticed the two beautiful daughters of an English no_
bleman, who were leaving their handkerchiefs at &balcony cuntigu-
ous to his palace. Several splendid fetes are announced at the end
of bent to entertain these Royal personages; end amongst others
one to be given entirely be the British. The day is not yet fixed
until their 31sjesties shall have been consulted, but the stewards
were appointed yesterday. They are—Sir Thomas Wilson, Bart.,
Majahlieneral Maclean, 11r. Mackie, and Captain Birch, R. E.
The invitation.. are is be limited to 2119, and it is hoped the Doria
palace will be granted for the occasion. Expense will not be
spared to make the entertainment worthy of the English nation.
Mr. Antrobus„ Secretary of Legation, who is expected to-morrow
from Turin, will have the whole plait submitted to him; and in
the unavoidable absence of env Minister, Mr. Hill, all the presen-
tations to their Majesties will he made either by Mr. Antrobus, or
our beloved Cocaul, Mr. Stirling. 1 shall give you further details
in my next.

STATE OP THE Co.' N TRY.—At the Cork seizes a true
bill has been found against six men, for being concerned
in the murder of the Franks. At the same assizes, one
man, out of four charged, was convicted of being con-
cerned in the murder of John Orpen, a policeman. Five
perrons have been apprehended, charged with the murder
of Mr. Marum, by Captain Kelly. of the Constabulary,
aided by Colonel Lindsay, of the ;Nth Highlanders. The
provincial journals contain no news upon which w: should
deem it ncessary to offer any ?Titlark, or indeed to extract.
