Iler Majesty has experiencad so much relief from
the united talents of her physicians and Mr. Kente, tha
surgcnn, as to be able to resume her accustomed exer-
eisa in her garden chair, without its producing any re•
currence of those. spasmodic affections which have here-
tofore remised such alarming effect during almost the
motion. Every precaution, indeed, is taken
to avoi.l any material alteration of her Majesty's posi-
tion, in her removal from her chamber to her c!rtir ;
and the horse is led is the gentlest and most earful
manucr, so as to make the motion almost imperceptible.
Her NI ajesty's appetite also continues unimpaired ; but,
notwithstanding all these favourable circumstances, it
is no: probable that she will speedily he removed from
Kew.—li is generally believed that her Majesty has
undergone uu operation, by which the water in her
chest has been withdrawn.

Her Majesty a health, we are extremely happy to
say, continues to improve. On Thursday evening at
six o'clock, her Majesty left Kew Niece and rode out
in her garden chair in the delightful pleasure Iv wilds
attachd to the Palace, drawn by her pony, guided by
her coachman. The D aches, of Gloncerer waiked by
the ride of her beloved mother ; Princess Augusta fol-
!omit. leaning on the arm of Sir Francis Milman.—
They were lb-Bowed by two footmen. Her Majesty
continued her ale tiar upwards of an hour ; she ap-
peared very cheerful and much refreshed. On Thurs-
day morning the Countess of Cardigan visited her
Nlajestc. A t the same time the Duchess of Gloucester
Princess Auguste. radii out in nn open carriage.—
The nectmnt yesterday was, that "her Majesty had had
a good night and .centinued much the same."
Wednesday being the Prince IV-genes birth-day, it
was observed in a private manner, the public celebnition
by a Court and other rejoicings having taken place on
St. George's day. The Dukes of York and Cambridge,
and Prince Leopill, paid their perional respects to the
Prince Regent, at Carlton-house, upon the anniversary
of his birth. The 'Foreign Amlamalors and Ministers,
with ,a numerous asseniblagz, of nobility, thronged Carl-
ton-house, to pay their congratalatory respects. The
company was occasionally to numerous that the great
gates of Carlton-house were thrown open.
The Duke of Clarence has declared, says the Morn-
ing Chronicle, that it is his intent itm to return with the
Duchess to England in the course of a few months, as
he has the well-grounded prospect of her Royal High-
ness bringing him a Prince or Princess, and it is their
mutual wish that the birth should take place in Eng-
land. The same paper, which is in luck with its inte-
-resting secrets, goes on to state that the pregnancy of
the Duchess of Cambridge is.also.announced ; but it
laments to learn that her Royal Highness is to be con-
fined in Hanover. This, it continues, cannot be
acceptable to England, unless it could be supposed that
there is a design of separating the Kingdom of Hanover
from the Crown of Great Britain ; and that the future
Sovereign of the nation should be born within it.
'The Duchess of Cambridge has expressed much
solicitude to return to the Continent, and the Duke has
therefore signified his intention of proceeding to Dover
to-morrow, to embark for Calais. _ _ _

About seven miles east from Grantham, by the
Bridge End turnpike road, on the side of a hill, com-
manding a view of the coast at Bostnn Haven, were
lately discovered very considerable remains of ancient
buildings, tesselated pavements, and other indications
of a
.fixed Roman military station; and further search, •
in digging and removing the earth, &c. continues to
be made by order of Sir William Earl Welby and Lord
Brownlow, the proprietors of the parish of Staceby,
wherein these discoveries were made. The first subject
was found by some labourers widening the road; it
consists at present of three distinct apartments, the
middle one 6 feet by 22, tha others are not vet ascer-
tained ; the floors are paved with red and white small
stones three quarters of an inch square each, and form
different patterns ; the first by the road, in squares; the
middle one octagons; and of the third, only pert of a
border inscribed with circles, remains. 'these floors
appear to be formed of a bed of compact tempered blue
clay, 20 inches thick, covered with a strong cement of
lime, &c. about two inches thick, in which the ttasarse
are paved and set fast. The walls are of stone, firm'y
laid in strong coarse lime mortar; the outer ones
are five feet thick—the inner ones, between the rooms,
three feet only: not any of these walls remain higher
than the floors. No idea can be formed of them as an
habitation, further than to guess from fragments duo
up, which clearly showed that the roof was covered
with coarse blue slate, and the walls lined on the in-
side with different coloured figured tiles, not any two
alike, and in some parts by line ccut•rtt. lik: stone,
painted in various cul.ntrs Of the whitlows, only a
very few piece:: of glass were found, and not of a size
sufficient to chew at!y except in uric place, which
was stained through of a bexutit•ul fine colour, Of
timber nothing was met with but soot and black char-
coal, like embers, winch produced a conjecture that
the fabric was partly destroyed by fire.
It is stated in the Ph iadel,oh, a Fainkin Go:et#e
that the thermometer in that city lately stood at 102,
average 100; and that fiair or five persons died by im-
prudently drinking cold water, notwithst.ataiai; the
frequent warnings that have been given.
