LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1830.

The KING arrived at St. James's Palace, from
Bushy, this morning, at a quarter before twelve.
his MAJESTY was escorted by a troop of Lancers.
Shortly afterwards the Duke of WELLINGTON and
4everal of the Ministers visited his MAJESTY.

The Sale of Beer Bill was read a second time in
the House of Lords last night, and ordered to be
committed to-morrow.

An animated Debate on the Regency Question
took place last night in the House of Commons.
4r. R. GRANT brought forward his motion for an
Address to the Throne on the subject, in a temperate
speech replete with sense arid argument. He
grounded the necessity of his motion ehiefly.on. the
pit cedent Worded by GROWTH 111., who, on tbeocca-
sion of an indisposition in the year 1765, considered
the interests of his kingdom so liable to hazard, it, the
event of a demise of the Crown, while the
Prince of WALES was yet a minor, that he him-
self came down to Parliament to urge the immediate
appointment of a Regency. The SOLICITOR-GE*
NERAL replied in detail to the arguments of the Hon.
and Learned Member in a speech remarkable for
little but its lergth, The Right Hon. the Home
Secretary dwelt much on the indelicacy, not less
than the inexpediency, of meeting the question just
at present, which was finally disposed of by a majo-
rity in favour of Ministers of 154.

The following are extracts from German Papers
received this day

CORFU, MAY —The accounts from Epirus continue
to be extremely distressing. Complete anarchy prevail*
in the greater part of the country, and the authority of
the Porte is almost entirely overthrown. The Albanian
soldiers not having received the arrears of their pay, which
are withheld by the Turkish Government, commit the
most horrible excesses, The number of the Albanian in-
surgents assembled at Janina is estimated at 16,000 men.
Plunder and extortion succeed each other without inter-
ruption, and these acts of violence are frequently attended
with blqlshed! Greek soldiers have been sent to Arta
to occupy the villages of Wangora, which ate threatened
with invasion by the Albanians, and the Greek Govern-
ment has assembled 10,000 men near Argos.
FAA NK !MUT, JUNIS 29. —.Extrut from " the protocol of
the 14th Sitting of the Germanic Diet, June 17
" The President delivered the sentence passed by the
Supreme Court of Appeal of Lubeck, in the difference
which has arisen between the Crown of Prussia and that
of Bemis, relative to the obligation of undertaking the
payment of th© pension of the late Princess 13etkeleY,
widow of the last tfargrave of AnspaelCand Demuth.

This sentence, dated 18th May, decides that the annual
pension of 20,000 florins claimed by the deceased, as well
as the arrears, shall be discharged by the Court of Bava-
ria, each party to pay his own costs." The sentence hay-
ing been notified to the parties by the Court of Appeal in
the name of the Confederation, the Diet ordered the ori-
ginal document to be deposited in the Archives of the
Confederation, that it may see to the execution of it.
STRASHUILU, JUNE 27.—His Highness the Prince of
Leuelitenberg arrived this evening from Paris, and will
remain here till Monday, when he will set out for Munich.
COLOGNE, JUNE 26.—Among the many distinguished
visitors who are expected to be present at the grand re-
view, near Coblentz, is the Grand Duke Constantine of
Russia, who about that time will probably be at Ems with
his consort, the Princess of Lowicz. It is said also that
the Count de Montemart will be sent by the King of
France to compliment our Sovereign when in the Rhenish
provinces. His Majesty, it is said, having expressed to
him, when he lately passed through Berlin, a wish to see
him again at Coblentz.

Fnimcvourr, JuNE 29.--The Courier de Smyrne
says--,," It was reported at Smyrna that Count Capo
D'lstriss would be appointed by the influence of Russia to
a hospodarship, consisting of the three Provinces of Mol-
davia, Wallachia, and Servia.
AUUSBURG, JUNE 30.—The Supplement to the Augs-
burg Gazette contains a long article on the injury that•the
trade of Germany sustains by the existence of piracy in'the
Mediterranean, which, as the German States have no naval
force, is closed against their commerce, so that the mari-
time countries of the North of Germany (except Hanover,
which participates in the commercial advantages of Great
Britain) are obliged to employ Swedish, Dutch, Danish, Eng-
lish, and American ships in their cornmerceto and from the
Mediterranean. From the years 1815 to the end of 1825.
no fewer than 5,465 ships sailed from the ports of
Northern Germany, from Vaal to Memel, to the Medi-
terranean, or came from the ports of that sea. The whole
freight was paid to foreign ship-owners, and if the mode-
rate estimate of 6,000 marks Hamburg currency (about
3601. sterling) is taken fur each voyage, we have a total
sum of 32,910,000 marks (about two millions sterling).
By far the greater part of this sum has really gene to
foreign countries: for only a very small sum can be de-
ducted for the profit made by German ship-brokers and
pilots, or for the repair and provisioning of the foreir,n
ships in the German ports. We have nut included in this
account time voyages in the Mediterranean from port to
port, which may be about 800, and give an annual loss of
4,800,000 marks to the German ship-owners.

The KING, it is mentioned, intends in per-
son to prorogue or dis.olve the Parliament, whichever
course may he determined upon, except that event (which
the state of business does not render very probable) should
take place before the funeral. Workmen are busily en.
gaged about the House of Lords in laying down new
matting, &c.
We understand that it is his MAJESTY'S in-
tention to attend the funeral of the late Kura as chief
mourner. All his MAJESTY'S Ministers, and all the great
Officers of State, are to appear in their full state uniforms,
and all Officers of the Army and Nary aro to appear in
full uniform, with black crape scarves, &c.
The KING, in a manner the most gracious,
has appointed that highly distinguished artist, Sir Wu.
BILICHIKY, to be Portrait Painter, &c. to their MAJESTIES.
The proclamation of WILLIAM IV., at
Bristol, took place in a torrent of rain, wbioh continued
during the best part of the ceremony. A Wag, observing
the drenched appearance of the cavalcade, cried out," Here
beginneth the rain of Wur.tAx IV. !"
Lord BELGRAVE has, in an address to the
freemen of Chester, signified that it is not his intention to
offer himself to their choice at the next election. His
Lordship intends to offer for the county. —Liverpool Albion.
In consequence of the delicate state of Sir H.
TAYLOU'S health, he has declined the honour of the poet of
Privy Purse to the KING, and Colonel WHEATLEY has
been appointed. Sir H. TAYLOR, it is said, has accepted
the post of Private Secretary to the K.
By the death of the lion. and Itev.WILLIAM
maksFoun, nine livings in the diocese of Tuam, and one
in the diocese of Lismore, become vacant.--Dublin Morn-
ing Register.

On Wednesday morning last, the Rev. J. J.
%taut, of Trinity College, Cambridge, put an end to his
existence by cutting his throat. Verdict—Tempurary In-
sanity.

It is confidently stated that the Ministers cal.
cnlate on being able to get through all the Parliamentary
hnsiness before the funeral of our late Sovereign, which is
to take place on Thursday week, so as to be able to pro-
rogue the Parliament on the Friday following; the un-
graciousness of dissolution net to be adopted while the
Houses remain actually assembled, but to be a subsequent,
though early, measure. The dissolution is calculated as
being likely to take place on Saturday week, or announced
in the Gazette of the Tuesday following at farthest.
There are few more regular or temperate men
in their habits than the present KING. •He rises early,
sometimes at sit o'clock, and, after having written for
some time, takes his breakfast. His MAJESTY then heats
a report read to him of the various claims on his benevo-
lence, and sometimes visits personally the objects of his
bounty who reside in the neighbourhood of his residence.
At dinner he seldom eats of any made dish, but restricts
himself generally to one dish of plain boiled or roasted
meat, drinking only sherry, and that in moderation—never
exceeding a pint. During the day, when not engaged in
business, lie amuses himself in cheerful conversation with
men of all parties, and retires to bed early. His MAJESTY
is constitutionally subject to asthma, but with his habits he
may live to a very old age.

We state from undoubted authority, that his
most Gracious Majesty King WILLIAM IV., with his
amiable consort, are expected at Brighton in the space of
three weeks, and that active preparations are making at
the Pavilion fur the reception of the Royal Guests—an
honour which cannot fail to be duly appreciated by the in-
habitants of that truly loyal and distinguished watering
place.—Sussex Advertiser.

It is a circumstance noc unworthy of being
noted at the present moment, that the Km, although
styled WILLIAM IV. of Great Britain, is properly only
WILLIAM M. of Scotland, as we have had but one Wn.-
war in our roll of Kings previous to the union of the

Crowns, while the English had two. In 01 works of ex-
clusive Scottish history, it is common to find the Sove-
reign known in English history by the title of WILLIAII
111., styled WlLLtast ll..—Caledonian Mercury.
Mr. ARNOLD'S new version, or patching up
of " God save the King," is not very happy. It begins,
" God save our noble King,
William the Fourth we sing."
This manner of explaining who it is the Omniscient is to
save, has an odd effect. We hear he has also prepared
one on his MAJESTY'S Royal Consort, which opens in the
same spirit, _

_ -
" God save our noble Queen,
Queen Adelaide we mean !"
,Kent Mercury. _ _

. -
It is curious enough that the popular song of
"God save the King" was composed by Jolts Auer.. It
has been attributed to HARRY CA REY and others;. but
authentic documents were lately brought forward to show
that Dr. Bine, chamber-musician to hams 1., was the
composer ; and that the production was originally per-
formed before that Monarch, at Merchant Tailore-hall, on
the 16th of July, 1607, in celebration of his MAJESTY'S
escape from the gunpowder-plot. Hence the " scatter-
ing" of his " enemies," and the imprecation on their
" knavish tricks." Hence perhaps, also, the emphatic re-
petition of the word " save, and the wish, " God save
us all." The composition received its present harmony,
we believe, from Dr. Arm; and first became popular
during the rebellion of forty-five, Geortot being sub-
stituted feel...nes. Nobler music and ignoble words have
never been brought together. The latter have been libel-
lously s lid to be BEN JONSON'S,...- The Chat of the Week
On Monday morning the youngest daughter
of Mr. CARTER, pawnbroker, Et Greenwich, was united
to a Mr. ROBINSON, who keeps a seminary in town, and
Mr. CA MLR gave his daughter away in marriage. After
the ceremony, the new-married pair and their friends pro-
ceeded in carriages to Richmond, where they intended to
celebrate the wedding. Dinner was ordered at the Roe-
buck, en Richmond-hill, and Mr. CARTER took the head
of the table. Mr. CARTER said grace, and took up the
knife and fork, intending to carve, when he suddenly fell
backwards in his chair insensible. It being thought he
was in a fainting fit, water and other restoratives were re-
sorted to, but finding all were of no use, medical assistance
was procured, and a vein in the arm opened, but no blood
could be obtained, and the medical gentlemen pronounced
the unhappy man to he a corpse. The scene that ensued
baffles description. The bride and bridegroom instantly
proceeded in a post.chaise and pair to town to acquaint
the family of their unfortunate father of the melancholy
event, whilst the remainder of the party remained with the
deceased, upon whose body an. inquest sat yesterday morn-
ing, and the Jury returned a verdict of " Died by the
visitation of God." The deceased was about 40 years of
age, and was much respected.
