THE PRINCESS OF WALES —On Thursday Sea-
night, Mr. Sicard, Steve urd to the Princess of Walea,
who, -since her departure from this kingdom, has
resided at Kensington Palace, received a letter from
her Royal Highness, iothrming him that she was on
her way front Pesaro to England, where she expected
to arrive in a very short time ; and desiring him to
communicate to Mr. St. Leger her wish that he
should immediately proceed to Calais to be iu rea-
diness to meet her on her arrival there, and that
Miss Garth and 11Irs.St. Leger should repair to Do-
ver, in order to be in readiness to attend her Royal
Highness on her landing at that place. The Princess
I also expressed a wish that her apartments at Ken-
aingtou Palace should be prepared for her reception.
The moment the contents of the letter were made
known, the surprise that took place was greater
than can well be expressed ; and no small degree of
confusion and embarrassment prevailed among the
present inhabitants of Kensington Palace. A similar
surprise was, on the receipt of the intelligence, ex-
cited at Carlton-house, and the other Royal Palaces,
no individuA belonging to which had the slightest
intimation that the illustrious personage in question
iuteuded to soon to come back to this country. At
the time when her Royal Highness left England,
the vhole of her furniture was removed from the
arartments she had occupied at Kensington Palace ;
and no idea leaving been entertehted that she in-
tended again to return to them, some of them it ve
since been appropriated to the establishment of their
Roycl Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Kent.
Under these circumstances it has been concluded,
that the idea of affording the Princess an accommo-
dation at her lute residence must be altogether aban-
doned ; and we understand that a house, with every
suitable conveaieuce, has been provided at Black-
heath, and that it will be ready for the reception of
her Royal Highness as soon as she reaches that
place. The Princess has not yet arrived, but is ex-
pected very shortly. Various (and indeed some
strange) emejectbres have been hazarded as to the
motives that maid have induced the Princess to re-
vheit a country where nothing any longer remained
to excite her interest; nothing to attract her re-
galls, and to which it was aupposed she had bade a
final *Oita. But the inter poliable reason is the
suit which is now pending in Chancery, where her
Royal Highness is a plaintiff, and the Earl of Li-
verpool and Count Munster defendants. It is said,
that in consequence of some doubts which have been
entertained respecting the validity of a certain in-
Ste ement on which the istie of that emit depends,
the present e of leer Royal Highness is indisr;ensubly
necessary to remove the saute and that without
steels a proceeding she wil: not Le alsie to recover the
property she sued for.
We areassured that part of the soldiers who were
removed from Cueiz, have dispersed telamgh the
different provinces of =pain, and joined the Gueril-
las. If this be true, the Court of Madrid cannot
I but feel teneasy. Will that Court still refuse to
mr.l:c any concersien to the spirit of the roe?

Committee see any thing in the re►t of the evidence they
hate collected, which would induce theM to ili.sent
from that opinion. It appears front some 01 the evidence
that the extension and virulence of the disorder is con-
siderably modified by atmospheric influence; and a

PRINCE LFOPOLD. —On Wednesday morniog,
about 10 o'clock, l'r.nce Leopold arrived in town,
at Marlborough-house, from Claremont, in his tra-
velling post chaise, uttended by Baron Harden.
brooke, followed by Sir Robert Gardiner an.l Dr.
Stockman, in a barnuch. His Royal Highness and
Suite only remained during the time of changing
horses, and then proceeded through London to Bar-
net, on his way to S vain& where his Royal High-
ness will visit the Martini . and Marchioness of Staf-
ford ; also the Duke of Montrose, the Fad of
Lauderdale, and several alters of the Nobility and
personages of distinction in the north.
Ooe of the Chinese Jugglers has been committed,
to Lincoln Castle for trial, for stealing a gold watch,
chain, and seals, from the Inn where they slcpt at
Guinsborough.
Canova is at present building a church at his own
expense, to adorn his native city in the state of Ve-
nice. It is to be built in the antique style, and it is
estimated that the espet.ce will exceed 100,000
piastres.

The Government of England, as one sole Mo-
nurchy, is of a thousand 'ears standing—frena the
time of Egbcrt, in the year 819. Scotland, the
Northern Part, was a diaitict Sovereignty of about
1100 years startling ; and Wales was erected into
a kingdom by 'dwell°, son of Cadwallader, the last
King of the Britons. They are all three now hap-
pily united, under the name of Great Britain.—
Wales being incorporated with England in the reign
of Henry tate bth, and Scotland bring united to it
in the reign of Queen Anne, May 1, 1707.
On the D-ieer sloop of war being lately taken
into Artimssan harbour, a great erowd of people 3.4..
sembhal to view her, and among the rest a sly wea-
ver tram the country. One of the oficers being
ashore, and rather surprised to see such an telsern-
nage, asked this wig; who chanced to Le near him,
what could excite so much wonder among the peo-
ple?"—" 0, Sir, replied he, "it is the owners,
come to see the vessel !"---" Owners, Sir !"—" Yes,
Sir, they Add shares; some move, some less!"
In repairing one of the walls of the antient
church of OgLoura St. George, near Marlburough,
a few days agm, the workmen discovered a large
groupe of figures painted on the wall, covering a
space of 17 feet square, which appear to be the
" Descent into Hell." " The hat Jutl;;ment," and
" The Triumph of the Church.' Many of the
figures are in a perfect state. On the wall above
the column of the middle aisle they found under
the wkitc.washing a figure upwards of 9 fiet high,
I in the position jf striking a rugged staff en the
ground, an,: lVt the pidut..% a seal. of
I a ship, wit:t marine emblems.
