PRINCE LEOPOLD.

WEYMOUTH, JAN. 117.—Last Sunday his Serene
Highness Prince Leopold, and the whole of his esta.
blishment, observed the solemnities of the Sabbath in $
private manner at Came-house: the Rev. Dr. England,
Archdeacon cf the Diocese, officiated.
The next day he and his attendants took a ride on
horseback over Bincombe-down, through the village of
Preston, and from thence by the turnpike-gate leading
to this town: here he stopped for a considerable time,
surveying the distant bays, esplanade, and different
buildings. His Highness appeared in deep thought;
and it was observed that he did not communicate his
ideas on the different prospects, either to Sir Robett
Gardiner or Baron Hardenbroke; but quitted the scene
in a state of mind absorbed in the deepest melancholy.
On Thursday, Prince Voroniesky and General Count
D'Ojarowsky, two Ri:ssian noblemen, arrived at Came.
house, charged with letters of condolence from the Ent..
peror Alexander,
The Earl of Ilchester, and several other Noblemen.
and persons of distinction of the county, have this week
paid morning visits of inquiry, but Prince Leopold's
continued depression of spirits has prevented the honour
of their personal introduction.
The hot and cold baths at the King's Lodge arc kept
in constant readiness ha. the accommodation of the
Prince, who is expected to use the fornittr for complaints
of the head.

Parliament will be opened by Commission on Toes*
day.

the Queen will hold a Drawing room on the .Qtith of
Fehnutry,

THE STRATHrtEcosay EsTaTE.--The =loge.

Hampshire, wherin his Lordship lately met the men of
business, to whom all arbitration is reti,rveti. The
Duke of Wellington abides by his lino determinat;on,
not to interfere in the s. ttlement. The only Ipleain..;
obstacle is the, want of ,round ; but this evil will he
removed. by Government taking in —eckfield-heath.

200.0001. have Len ofro.ed to Lord R. by a emai
