THE COURT.

Her Majesty was .not so trill onMednesday as for
several days privions: the Duchess of Glnueever went
to Kew on Thursday to remain a few days with her
venerable parent.
There was no regniar aceount in town on Friday, of
-the state of the Queen, from Kew ; it was, however,
understood, that her Majesty was not si we:l on Fri-
day as she was on Wednesday. The Prince Regent
went to Kew to attend her Maje4ty, on Fricky about
four o'clock.

It seems after all, that the marriage of the Duke of
Clarence with the Princess 01 Saxe Mziningen is to take
place. Viscourt Keith. it is said, the Trcarnrcr and
Cmnptrollcr of his Royal Highness's hotatehol•i, has set
off tor Dover, there to receive her ho:al
who will be conveyed, with her ladies and attendants,
from Calais in the Royal Sovereign yaci:t ; and their
• arrival is daily expected. The Princess, with her mo-
ther, the Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, arrived on the
t2lst ult. at Frankfort, on their way to England.
A letter •from Dover, dated June 2!), says, last
evening, about seven o'clock, the retinae of the Prince
and Princess of llcsse Ifombourg arrived in three.car-
ria-ges iroin Brighton, and at nine their Ilighuesses
came in an open carriage, under a salute from the
guns at the heights. and the huzzas of a vast quantity
of spectators, who had been waiting some hours to
greet their arrival. A goard of honour of the Rifle
lii igade was drawn tap in front of Wright's Hotel. In
the course of the night, the Royal Sovereign yacht came
round from the Downs into the Roads, the barge of
which was rowed up opposite to the Hotel. The at-
tendants having been previously embarked in the Cus-
tom-house boat, their Highnesses descended the steps
into 'the barge (which was covered with tut awning of
green silk) at 11 o'clock, and the instant the. Itoyal
:,andant wus displayed at the main, the gnus fired a
salute. Upon the Royal party reaching the yacht, the
yards were manna,- the rails unfurled, and she soon
moved majestically ever the waves ; :but from there be-
ino. no wind, it is feared they had a long passage.
Tlie following is a letter front Dover, dated Juno 30 :
" This morning. at seven o'clock, the Royal Sovereign
yacht anchored in the Roads, from France, with his
Rowel Highness the Duke of Kent and his Duchess,
and at 11 o'clock the barge brought them into the
harbour, under a salute from the guns at the Heights.
—immediately on lauding, their Highnesses got into
their travelling chariot, which was • drawn up to the
water's edge by the slip at the North Pier-head, and
drove off km lantdou, their suite following. The barge
being coverall with au awning, and the nittant depar-
ture of their Highnesses .ta, their arrival, prevented
many of the immense teas of persons a:twirl:al from
getting a sight of the Princess. She appeared a, tall.
genteel figure, and was affable to all by coudesceraingly
bowing out of tLe muds-window •-to the wally cheers
which greeted her front all ranks in passing."
TIIF DUKE AND DUCHESS OF KENT.---.The Duke
of Kent paid his first visit, on his arrival in London
from Claremont, on Wednesday morning, to the Duke

B.%nEx-BAD E JuNC I S.—Count 'Las Casas, who
,arrived at Baden a Itirtnight ago, • with his son, and
who hopes, by using the waters, to recover his health,
endeavours to live there very retired, and to avoid
, mach comppuy and extensive acquaintance. lle is at
present eui!‘loyed in literary occupations, as far as a
weak state of health and hi,; eyes allow. The manner
in which his afikirs has been introduced into the Bri-
tish Parliament, releases bin', he imagines, froin the
tacit obligation of further observing, on hls si,?e, that
silence w!Mh has hitherto guided his conduct. lie
thinks that he owes it to himself, and his own honour,
to refute calumniatory attacks, and he will, thcrefere,
not hesitate to make the public acquainted w'th the
truth.
