We invite every loyal Briton, every lover of our good King

to the illustrious race with whose weal the national prosperity
is so closely intertwined, to invoke with us the choicest of Hea-

these realms, as has for more titan half a century been given

Friday Carlton House was thronged with distinguished cha-
racters, paying their respectful congratulations to the Prince
Regent upon the marriage aids Royal Daughter.
Prince Leopold and his Royal Consort are expected to
return from Oatlands in about a week. They live there
in complete retirement, with a very few attendants, super-
intended by the Duke of York's butler and housekeeper.
These two persons arc, indeed, all that immediately
wait upon them.
It is understood, that the Queen will hold a grand
drawing room about a fortnight hence ; when her Ma-
jesty will receive the illustrious young couple.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.

The Royal new-married pair have the advantage of a
very retired situation, in which to pass their honey-moon,
at Oatlands, the seat of the Duke and Duchess of York.
The house is extremely secluded in the Park in which it
is situated, from intruders, and no persons arc allowed to
approach the house till they give in their names or busi-
ness, at either of the Lodges at Walton or Weybridge,
although a stage coach going to Weybridge is allowed to
pass through it fi:r the purpose of putting down passen-
gers going to the house, or leaving, parcels there. On
Friday the Royal Pair amused themselves by walking •
through the delightful grounds, the terrace, from which
nine counties can be viewed, and resorted to the cele-
brated grotto, bath, &c. the most beautiful in England,
and we believe we may say, in Europe, which occupied a
man and his son, with assistants, a great number of years
in completing it. The expence of making it exceeded
the purchase of the estate ; and in this celebrated and
beautiful retirement, which is the attraction of rerangei
from considerable distances, the Duchess of York spent
her days during the time the Duke was abroad with the
army, and executed a great deal of very beautiful needle-
work and embroidery.
On Saturday, about three o'clock, the Royal Pair
were unexpectedly gratified by the anival of their Royal
Father the Prince Regent. They had at the time just
before entered their travelling carriage, and were about
to take a ride to view a mansion house, about foar tulles
