hRIGIITON, JUNE 15.

it appears certain that our illustrious and liberal
benefactor, the Prince Regent, is on the eve of
since enure honouring; and enlivening this place by
his presence, though on what particular day his
welcoine arrival may he looked fur, has not as yvt
been permitted to transpire.
The continuance of the Prince and Princess of
Hesse Hombourg here diffuses a spirit of gaiety
throughout the place much better imagined than
expressed. Their affabilities in public endear them
to the people, and their mutual affection excites all
interest in every heart. They are almost invariably
together—one impulse seems to actuate them, mist
that commands respect and admiration abroad, soul
must be the source of never-failing happiness in
seslusion. The Ito-..al Pair attended divine
at the Chapel Royal yesterday, and yesterday
stifling's,. Much of their time was agreeably passed
last week in excursions on the waster, the Tiber fri-
gate and the Itosario armed brig bring in attend-
ance. The latter hus now lett for Port th,
but the former remains. The Illustrious Pair dined
oil board the fiber CM Isi the course
of the day they were put on shore at South-
bourne, but returned in the vessel in the evening.
The Tiber, under easy sail, on the latter occasion,
kept very close in shore, and got into shallow water
rather more suddenly perhaps than had been ex-
pected, but no injury, and little inconvenience
followed. The Royal pair were again on board the
frigate sin Ft irlay. Alainied yards, aml shrouds and
too., colours flying, and royal salutes, were the
concomitants of their visits, rendered inure interest-
ing by numerous group- pleasure boats, the
waving of li.insikerchiets and acclamations. Ex-
'resit on Wednesday they hive dined only in Marl-
boriiii;4k-row, where the respectful visits of nobility
have liven numrtoua, After dinner, Roitingtlern,
Spots-ham, Lancing, Worthing, &c. have been
Immured by their presence, and their carnage sue-
caannially kit for rural walks about the country.
Lady Elizabeth Montague Inis attended them.
The Princess has -event! times bathed at Wil-
liams's this week ; his Serene Highness the same.
Hi• Serene Highness's Aide-de-Camp, Baron T.

yet, is known, respecting the departure of the
Royal pair.

RANDALL AND BVEKE.—The former pugilistic
pliemoniesion of the ring enters the lists this day
with Burke, within 420 miles of London. The
ainattuts are all upon the alert ; and two to one is
current betting on tiaNdull, notwithstanding Burke
has trained up to nearly twelve sum-, and in other
respects is much Unproved. A good day's sport is
expected.
