THE KING'S LIEVEI?.

Yesterday Ins Majesty held a Levee at his Palace
in Pall-mall. A Guard of Honour marched into
the Court-Yard, and a detachment of the Life
.Gun•ds took their station in Pall-mall, opposite to
the Palace, as usual. The whole of the Court at-
tendants were in waiting. The Yeomen of the
Guard lined the Gram! ; the 1-lonotiralde
Band of Gentlemen Pensioner* were stationed in
the Octagon Hall, together with the Gentlemen
Ushers, Pages, Grooms of the Chamber, &e.
The porters and the whole of the livery servants
appeared in their new liveries, since the Kim's
accession to the throne, with very large concave
buttons, with the King's arms on them.

The King entered the State oparttnents 'non
after two o'clock, when he received from the Field
Officer in 'smiting the effective state of the three
regiments of loot guards, and gave the military
pas--word to the Colonel of the guard.
Baron Fogel, the Ambassador from the Nether-
hinds, was introdoced to his Majesty by Viscount
Castlereagh, as Principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, and conducted by Sir Robert
Chester, the Master of the Ceremonies, when his
Excellency delivered a letter to his Majesty, an-
nouncing the death of the Princess Dowager of
Orange.
fits Majesty proceeded to receive the Cabinet
Ministers, the great Officers of State, and others
who have the privilege of the entry. The Levee
wasaitendedby—

His Royal Highness the Duke of York, Prince Egterkazy,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, Sheriff Rothwell, the Com-
oros Serjeont of the City of London, the lard Provost of
Glasgow, and a numerous list of the Nobility and Gentry.

After the levee his Majesty gave audiences to
the Earl of Li►•erpool and the Uuke of Gordon.

MACAULEY.

The Argyll Rooms last morning were again very
elegantly, and, notwithstanding the heat, very nu-
merously attended. The performance went off
very well. Hamlet's Soliloquy on Death was wick
admired ; the scene between Hubert and Prince
Arthur was greatly applauded; and the repetition
of the musical recitation of Lord Illliss's Daughter
was received with rapture. Hohenlinden was highly
applauded, and Lady Racket's playful scene was
alto approved very highly.
The Passion of Hatred was loudly and repeat-
edly applauded, and seemed to impress the audi-
ence with the horror which such a passion
should excite ; and the comic simplicity of
Molly Wiggins, the Yorkshire Girl, excited much
laughter. Misa MACAULEY'S patronesses were
pleated to express themselves delighted at the en-
tertainment altogether. There is little doubt it
will become popular and highly fashionable.—
Among the fashionable, present were—
Duke and Cachets of &. Albans. Countesses of Besbo.

Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Panther, Colonel sad Mrs. Bridger. the
Misses Start. Miss White. Lord Gleubervie, Hon. W. Poo.

The accounts of the Duchess of Yoe% yester-
day were, that her Royal Highness was continuing
better.

Yesterday Prince LEOPOLD left town for Clare-
mont, after partaking of au early dinner at Marl-
borough House. A most anwarnintahle statemeut
has been circulated by the friends of some of the
present candidates fur the vacant Presidency of the
Royal Society, by which it has been insinuated
that the KING had objected to the nomination of
Prince LEueor.o. This statement is utterly false
and without foundation ; on the contrary, the
mearaire has met with his MAJESTY'S eutire coo-
currency and support, and it is to be hoped that
the vacant chair will be filled by this illustrious
Prince, who .+ literary pursuits, knowledge of
languages, love of the sciences, and urbanity of
manners so peculiarly tit hint for the station.

Lord CASTLEREAGH'd idea of " 4 MIMI being
contrast to himself," is borrowed from his old idea
of " a wan turning his hack upon hiaueff ;" and
even that is borrowed from the portrait of " Paddy
from Cork with his cost buttoned behind."

Mr. MADOCKS was prevented by severe indispo.
sitiou from voting in the minority on Mr. WILBER-
FORCE'S motion on Thursday last.
A Second Edition of The Dahlia Register men-
tions the opening of the election for that City on
Saturday. Mr. GRATTAN was proposed by W. C.
PLunam. Esq. and seconded by Mr. Cultist's.
Mr. PLumarrr declared, that if unfortunately
Mr. ELLIS rhoultf prove successful he would hasten
to London and propose a Bill. which he had so
doubt of carrying, fur the exclnsion of Mr. Ellis
from his seat in Parlianteni, or his office. To the
business of that °lice, he said, he was sworn to at.
teod—and if, therefore, lte were returned, he should
either abandon his duty as a Senator, or violate his
oath as a Master in Chancery. Mr. ELLts was
proposed by the LORD MAYOR, and seconded by
LELAND MAEDA'''. Esq.

The National Advocate, an American Paper,
contains the following paragraph respecting the

" His geaius awl industry as a painter bare *ever hems

attached to his native country, and took great plea-
sure in conversing with his fellow.citizens, sad giving every
