His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence was yes-
teratty so far reeovemil from his r0c4.4- t
as to be able to take an airing in the vicinity of Bushy
Park.

On Monday the Princess Charlotte anti Prince Leo-
pold prepared a };rued dinner air :he Duke of IVelling-
ton ; but on account an arrangement of the Cabinet
Ministers, which could not be dispensed with►, tin• his
Grace to dine with them at their Cabinet Dinner, at
Lord Castlereagh's, his Grace was unable to attend.—
Those persons who are acquainted with the strict eti-
quette of these Cabinet Dinners, will net be surprized at
this conduct of his Grace. They are attended by no one
t; ho is not specially invited ; the topics discussed at them
are generally of a political and confidential nature, and
frequently of the most important interest to the nation.
Politicians will therethre attach mane importance to
a meeting which tints called. his Grace from his
pre-engagement. His Grace's Staff, however, dined
with the Prince and Princess. They consisted of Lord
Hill, Sir E. Paget, Sir R. Ferguson. Sir G. WaTher, .`'ir
E. Stoptbrd, Sir 'l'. Cirecille, Lord F. Somerset, Lord
A. Hill, Colonels Hervey and Freemantle, and Sir IV.
Houston, together Lord and Lady Keith, and
several oth r distinguished characters. After dinner,
hott•cver, his 6ruce paid his respects to the Princess and
Prince.
The Princess Charlotte of Wales is certainly be-
coming very popular with John Bull ; and she will not
fail to continue so, if she observes three thiags, thr
which the good old King was remarkable, viz :—to
be very punctual—never to break a promise—or forget
a friend.
A Morning Paper says, " The Letters so tbrmally an-
flounced in an Evening Paper sonic little time ago, are
confidently stated to relate to a Divorce meditated in il-
lustrious life, which will unquestionably create no small
surprise, as well as discussion, in this country."
The marriage of the Duke of Gloucester and Princess
Mary will not take place until after• the I•2th inst.: but
the precise day is not fixed.
On Thursday the I I th instant, their Royal Hi!,hnesses
the Dukes of Kent, Sussex, and Gloucester, and his Se-
rene Highness the Prince of Saxe Colx►urg, will attend
at Guildhall, to receive the 1h•t:;om of the City. They
will afterwards dine with the Lard Mayor at the Man-
sion-House; and in the evening upwards of •'00(1 per-
sons are invited. 'the l,ttrd Mayor has sheen great an-
xiety to promote the wearing of Spitallields manutite-
tare ; and we hope, on this occasion, both Ladies and
Gentlemen will endeavour, us much us possible, to sup-
port that benevolent in t

nu VI; p' --Saturday the 211th Light Dragoons wits
reriewed by the Duke of Ytuk on .Hoinulow Heath.—
lloyal Highness arrived on the ground in time fin.
the Review to begin at twelve o'clock. The Duke of
Wellivon, attended by his Aid-dc-rump, haul arrived
short tune before. His ..7rrae,, joined the Onrunander-
in-Chief in the Review, as did General 13olton, and the
RITA Duke's usual staff: This fine re;iment executed
the various evolutions in so masterly and soldierlike a
manner, as to call flirth repeated marks of approbation
front the Dukc of York and the Duke of Wellington.
A great Concourse of people wen:. attracted to the Heath,
including a number of military officers, and persons' of
distinction. The interest was increas2d front the circum-
stance of this being the only review near the metropolis
this season, except that by the Duke of Gloucester, on
Saturday se'nnight, in Hyde Park. The Duke of York
returned to London about three o'clock, and afterwards
waited upon the Prince Regent ut Carlton House. The
Duke of Wellington returned to London, :mil aaer tak-
ing off his uniform, he walked through the streets, ac-
companied by a gentleman. He was recognized by the
public, and numbers followed him. A crowd was col-
keted round his Grace by the time he got into Cock-
spur-street, who testified their joy at seeing him by loud
huzzas.
