We have great pleasure in contradicting n ru-
mour, that it is the intention of her Royal High.
ness the Princess AUGUSTA to quit 117iiirlsor. We
understand that preparations are making to enable
her Royal Highness to take immediate possession
of Frognsone, which she inherits from the will of her
late MAJeSTY. Her Royal Highness's household
establishment is already arranged, The inhabit-
ants of Windsor have so long had opportunities of
estimating the benevolence of her Royal High-
ness's nature, exerted, as it has ever been, in the
most liberal and extensive relief of distress and po-
verty, that no circumstance would give Them greater
pain than the fetnoval of her Roysl Highness; and
no stssuratice can he more gratifying than that of
her continued residence amongst thent.(lViradsur
Express.)
It is, we understand, the intention of her Royal
Highness the Princess SOPHIA to leave the Castle
immediately after the funeral of her lute revered
father. Her Royal Highness's esteblitlimnet will
be transferred to the house of the Duke of CAM.
BUDGE. in London.
The Princesses AUGUSTA sail SOPHIA, and the
Duchess of GLOUCESTER. will remain at the Castle
till the day after the funeral. It is drlightftil to
know that the affectionate feelings of the Hoye!
Sisters bus prevailed over the etiquette which
usually hurries away the great from the house of
mourning ; and that this period of sorrow has been
alleviated by their mutual consolations, in the
I sceoes which so forcibly ',reel the memory of those
virtues which are now removed to a more exceeding
glory.

viol' (or 'Parish), of Montreal," who is described as
one of the principal partners of the Nurth-lVest.
