THE PierscEss OF WALES.

Extract of. a letter from Milan, dated March 7.
" The residence of the Priacess of Wales here, soon
after her removal from Coma, furnished many subjects
for conversation. Baron Ointeda, who is now Hanove-
rian Minister at Rome, oilinulecther Royal Highness by
residii:g here, without any apparent motive for delay.
She allowed herself to Jitney, that he was directed to
linger here by the English Minister at a powerful Ger-
man Court, to watch her conduct : and she applied to
the Austrian Government upon the matter. It is re-
ported, that an intimation was accordingly given, which
was the occasion of his leaving Milan ; but this was not
done s' speedily is to prevent his receiving a message
from Capt. —, one of her Royal Highness's suite ;
in consequence of which an affair is expected to take
place, though Baron Omteda declined it for the present.
Any report, relative to the intercourse of her Royal
Highness with England must, of course, be less cer- '
tain, than information of what passes here ; but it is
added, that she has since written to Mr. Canning, if
not to Lord Liverpool, complaining of being apparently
watched ' • imputing her departure from England to the
advice of the limner Gentleman, seconded by her own
desire to avoid being the occasion of any- uneasineA ;
and concluding by a hint at the probability of her return.
I am not well informed as to the offence given to her
Royal Highness at Como; but it is not expected that
she will reside there again. The villa cost .50001. ; the
impmvemcnts nearly as much. In the suit of her Royal
Highness are actually a few Nlamelukes, who act as her
guard, and who escort her, armed at all points, and in
fitll constume, whenever she goes to the Theatre. An-
other person, who is in her employment, it' not actu :By
in her suite, is un Italian lawyer, who is writing her
travels in the East. The Princess eid not reside within
the mates of Milan, but in a villa about a mile and a
half'tiom it, called the Villa Bergamo, belonging to the
Baron de Bergamo. Of this personage lam not able
to give you a perfect account ; but his sister (formerly
a housemaid) attends the Princess as Dame d'howiehr,
and the Baron himself acts as Chevalier d'honnear.—
Some other branches of the family fill other situations
in the Princess's household. The title of Baron was
conferred upon him by some German Prince ; but the
Onler of Malta, though properly tenable only by per-
sons of noble birth, hail been obtained fin him of the
Grand Master; and he is also Grand Master of the Or-
der of Caroline, instituted by the Princess. The Court
of Vienna, having learned that he is not noble by birth,
has forbidden him to wear the Order of Malta in the
Austrian dominions. 'lle visit of her Royal Highness
to the Ex-Empress Maria Louisa, at Parma, was unex-
pected. She was, however, invited to dina:x ; hut upon
her carrying there nearly the whole of her suite, the
Austrian Archduchess pleaded the etiquette of the Court.
at Vienna against the reception of them at table, and their
Highnesses dined alone. W. Austin was in the number
of her attendants, end the Princess asked permission of
Maria Louisa to purchase an estate for him in the ter-
ritory of Parma.. In one of the processions of the Carni-
val, tho Princess's coachman attempted to break line of
carriages on the Corso ; but was resolutely and slaves-
fully oppesed. }ler Royal Highness, Rion after, left the
neighbourhood, without giving a grand masked ball,
which had been announced."

The Prince Regent intends spending the Easter Ho-
lidays at Brighton ; thr which purpose the Pavilion, as
well as the houses in Nlariboroug-h-place, are in prepara-
tion for his Highness and suite.
The Lord Mayor's journey to the West is for the
purpose of being preseat at the Cornwall Assizes, at
which a cause is to be tried respecting one of the cop-
per-mines, in which he is defendant. His Lordship
has taken down with him two eminent Barristers, on
special retainers; one ut SOO and the ether at SOO
guineas.
Nothing can be more decisive of the state of the
country than the diminished consumptioa of the leading
articles subject to the duties of excise. The tailing off
has been progressive durint, the present quarter. It is
stated to be upwards of 699,0001.

Belvoir Castle, the scat of the Dul:e of Rutland, is
to be rebuilt. The foundations of a very large tower,
to be ercete on the cite of that part or the building de-
stroyed by the late. melancholy fire, were begun on
Monday se nnight. The ceremony of laying the first
stone wr-s rendered highly interesting by the presence
of the Duchess and Duchess Dowager of' Rutland, the
Marquis of Gnmby, the young ladies, and the Reverend
Sir John Thornton, who severally assisted in placing the
stone in its situnti.m and in depositing within it pieces
of coin of different denominations. A prayer, composed
for the ocra4.ion, was read at the close of the ceremony,
l.y the Rev. Chaplain, which powerfully affected the
feelings of the numerous domestics and workmen pre-
ret t.—Slennfiprd MercurN.
