Some interesting anecdotes, relative to the King, are now
in circulation. During the List month, it is said, his Majesty
bas experienced frequent lucid intetyals, and has conversed
00 general topics with all his Physicians. He expressed great
anxiety to have an interview with the Duke of Wellington,
and appeared to he affected in the highest degree by the sub-
ject of the marriage of his grand-daughter ; but it is singu-
larly remarkable, he gave directions that a favourite horse
should be destroyed on a fixed day, having attained a certain
a..ze, in conformity with a written memorandum made by
himself some years ago, which was found in the place pointed
out by his Majesty, and whit]] proved in every respect to cor•
respond with the period pi escribed.
It is slid, that the Princess of Wales, previous to her
quitting England f(,r the Continent, made an arrangement,
that alt those domestics of her household who on that occa-

.
mon might be discharged should let:rive one year's wages,
and board wages until they should procure another situation;
and to those faithful domestics who had been some years in
her service, her Royal Highness granted annuities for their

lives.
The Officers of the loth Hussars have presented a Memo-
rial
to the Pi ince Regent, upon which a Court of Inquiry
will, it is !Jelieved, shortly take place. Indeed, it has
_been a
Jong matter of astonishment that the Lieutenant-Colonel
did not demand this inquiry himself, after the following
letter made known to the regiment while in the Peninsula:—
Extract from the Adjutant-General's letter to Major-Gen.
Lord E. Somerset, commanding the Hussar Brigade :—" I
am commanded by my Lord Wellington to take this occasion
of mentioning, that the complaints acainst the Intl) hussars
are so genetaliy and so extremely discreditable to the regi-
ment, and prejudicial to the interests of the arms', that it is
requisite you should immediately adopt measm es to re-esta-
tii,h that discipline which is necessary to good order, but
vibich has Leen allowed to relax in an nnpat donable degree
tinder the command of Lieuttmant•Colonel Quintin.—Your
Loldship be so good !o entmminicate to the Lieutenant-
Colonel the Fied-Marsital's displeasure at having to notice
it regularities it NT as in his lower to have prevented, and that
a recut rence cif such breach of regulations and good order,
will convince his Exct llcncv that the Lieutenant-Colonel is
unequal to the command of a regiment of the fiat preten-

&ions."
The Duke of Wcrington, with the permission of Govern-
ment, has purchased the Borghesc Palace at Paris, for
t 36.0001. as rhe pet manent residence of the British Ambas-
sador at the Court of France.
It is understood that Sir U. Wellesley, whose conduct as
Ambassador in Srain during nearly the whole war has pro-
cured for him the esteem of all parties, has obtained leave to
retu, n to England. His Excellency has concluded a gene-
ral Treaty of Alliance with the Spanish Government, which
engages n' t to renew the Family Compact with France.
There is no stipu!atifm for the Aboltion of the Slave Trade.

' Extract of a Letter from Portsmouth, Sept. 6.—" An
order came to-day to stop the embarkation of the Staff depot:
the information was they would not go to dimcrica until the
spring." The destination of the Valiant, 74 (which was to
take Lot d Hill), is altered. She now goes to the Brazils,
with the Duncan, 7f, to bring home the Prince Regent of
Portugal."
Buonaparte, whenever he dined abroad, had his own vic-
tuals conveyed in boxes to the place of entertainment,
dressed by his own cooks.—The city of Paris at the late
ner enquired of Louis if he wished the custom to be con-
tinued ?—“ My good friends," said he, with a smile, " :ea
the Municipal Body, that when I dine alo cad, I bring no-
thing' with me but a goed appeti'e !"
During the last campaign in Germain-, Buonaparte once
said to the late King of Saxony, who complained of the
continual privations that so hurthensome an ally o .casioned
to his sulkcts, " I fully appreciate the magnitude of the sa-
crifice which the city of -Dresden makes in my came ; but
only let me conquer Prussia, Poland, and Russia and I will
indemnify you so generously, that I will make your capital a
pc! feet terrestrial Paradise."—" The thing is easy, observed
a Princess of the Royal Family of Saxony, Kt tit t at the
conversatiou, " for the inhabitants are already as caked as
our First Parents."
" I understand," said Buonaparte to one of the most rel.
peetable of his Councillors of State, " that you presume to
condemn my operations in your miserable circles, and that
you blame the war : learn, then, that the war will endure
longer than your white hairs." For the happiness of the
world, this prophecy was not so well verified as his. suspicious
prediction to General floche of his death, a few days before
he was actually killed,
A letter received from Italy contains the following pas-
sage sage:—" Buonaparte is forming a !stinting establishment at
Elba. The types, presses, &c. have been ordered from the
adjacent Continent. It is believed that in addition to the
memoirs of his own life, which will be to jilted there, be in-
tends, in imitation of the other Sovereigns of Europe, to
publish a Court Gazette. As a measure of state, of policy,
or of finance, the plan is strongly recommended. Tits
Court Gazette of Elba throw dignity on that petty so.
vereignty ; as it will be eagerly sought after, its circulation
will add to the revenue ; and if not prohibited in foreign
states,
sit will keep up the hopes of the disaffected in France
and Italy, and perhaps prove the ripening germ of another
revolution in those countries."
The Duncan, 74, Captain Usher, is ordered to be fitted
up to convey the Prince Regent of Portugal frotn Rio Janeiro
to Lisbon; Rear-Admiral Sir John Poo Botsford will hoist
his ftig in her.—On the at rival of the Prince Regent at Lis-
bon, Mr. Canning, will act as British Ambassador.
TDB BRIDEGROOM 1)155 rpm N T —OO TllllrStiay morning
lasts two young ladies, milliners and sisters, residing at the west end
of the town, at tended at a church war the Horse Guards, ilerOM•
panicd by the happy men whom they had chosen, intending to titter
into the linly hands and tie the gordian knot will; them. The clii.cr
sister, of course. had the priority. the younger one standing by, and
waiting impatiently, as it first appeared, for her turn arriving, when
she also might be Wade happy. Such, however, was the effect
which the performance of th. ceremony and the pronouncing the
dreadful words, • honor and °low,' had on the spirits of this lady,
that she, without sa3ing a word broke from the arm of her ex•
pectaot swain, rushed out of the church, and having gained the out-
side of the building, she set off full speed, and continued her course
till she reached the house of a female friend at the distance of tw o
macs, to whom she declared she would never by marrying give any
man an opportunity of commanding her. l'he disappointed bride-
groom continue.l some time fixed in the church, but whether he.
his b,s(l fortune, or rejoicing at the narrow mar: he had,
