fashion--" What ! RtatisoNDl who ever saw
Guards in round Hats ?"—" 0 yes, Sire !" answered
the Duke. " my hat is toned."—" Aye," rejoined
his MAJESTY, "and so is my night-cup."
We have sincere satisfaction in hearing that his
MAJLSTY, with the munificence of a Sovereign, has
declared his intention of fulfilling to the letter all
the intruded bequests of the late KING, his revered
Parent, though the settlement was not executed.

and seal required by law, the present KING feels
that they ought to he sacred to a Son and Succes-
sor.—( Peening Paper.)
