THE KING, &c:

M'ixnstalt, oc•'. two o'clock yesterday afternoon his
MAJEsTr, accompanied by the Duke of Dorset, in his pony
phaeton, left the Royal Lodge for an airing in the Great Park.
.His Majesty was followed by his visitors in another single
and double-bodied phaeton with outriders. The Royal
Party proceeded by Sandpit-Gate towards Cranbourn and
the New Lodge, and continued their drive in a circui-
tous direction along the margin of Virginia Water Lake,
and through the NeW Plantations, back to the Royal
Lodge.—Yesterday evening his Grace the Duke of Welling.
ton and Lord and Lady Bathurst arrived
.at the Royal
Lodge on a visit to his Majesty.—The interior of the Royal
Lodge, last evening, presented a scene of great magnificence.
Shortly after seven o'clock a most superb Banquet was served in
the Grand Saloon, which was richly illuminated, and presented
a most imposing appearance. The company .present were,
the Dukes of Wellington and Dorset, Marquis, Marchioness,
Lady E., and Lord A. Conyngham, Earl and Countess Mountcharles, Lord and Lady Bathurst, Lord and Lady 'Mary-
borough, Lord St. Helens, Sir W. I eppell, Sir -W. Knighton,
Sir A. Barnard, Sir E. Nagle, and Colonel Thornton.--H
The grand suite of rooms extending tithe south front of the
Lodge were thrown open, and the *magnificent Conservatory
terminating the view, which was most tastefully decorated, the
supporters of the chandeliers and lamps being entwined with a
profusion of the most fragrant plants. Tn the Alcove at the
extremity, the private Band of his Majesty were stationed,
and continued playing at intervals favourite pieces of music
selected by his Majesty or guests. On Sunday his. Majesty
Was prevented taking his usual airing, the weather being un-
favourable ;, but in the evening he entertained his visitors at
dinner at the Royal Lodge. On Sunday Count Munster ar-
rived, and had an audience. of his Majesty, at the Royal Lodge ;
after which he took rd. departure. Yesterday being the new
Mayor's (John Clode, Esq.) feast day, a grand dinner was
given in the Town-hall on the occasion. Most of the Officers
of the Foot and Life Guards were present. •

ARRIVAL 6.F THE DUKE Or CUMBERLAND IN ENGLAND.
• Yesterday special messengers arrived at Windsor, with 'the
information for his Majesty, that his Royal brother, the Duke
' of Cumberland, was on his way to, if he had not then actually
landed in, England. The information stated, that the Duke
of Cumberland, who was understood to he travelling alone,
with the exception of his attendants, would arrive. not later
than twelve or fourteen hours after the messengers. The in,
telligence of the Duke's journey to England created consider-
able agitation ; the Duke of Cumberland, in reality, as we
stated after the discussions on the 6,0091. allowance to the
young Prince, was not expected in England till shortly previous
to the next Session of Parliainent. The present sudden visit is
understood to be occasioned by some urgent affairs. His Ma.-
jesty, as soon as he learnt that his Royal Brother was on the
road, gave directions to Col. Thornton (Aide-de-Camp to the
King), and another gentleman,to proceed to Cumberland House,
St. James's-place, and make preparations for the reception of
his Royal Highness. They arrived in town in the evening,
and the unitoisterers; together with the establishment, were
immediately put into active requisition, to get the apart,
merits in Saint. James's Palace ready for .-the Duke of
Cumberland. The bustle, as may be imagined,-from the sud-
' denness of the orders, and from few knowing the cause of it,
was at once considerable and puzzling; however, by 12 o'clock
last night, every thing was in tolerable order for the Duke's re-
ception, with the exception of the exterior of the Palace,. the
pavement being up at the archway, so that 'carriages could hardly
pass, and timbers, &c. for the new buildings givingmomeobstrue:.
tions in the Court-yard. The Duke of Cumberland was expect-
ed to arrive at his residence in St. James's Palace this morn, ,
ing about three o'clock, in his travelling carriage=and.four ;
Col. Thornton, &c., from the King were there in waiting, to
receive his Royal Highness, and to impart his Majesty's wishes.
After some repose, it was calculated that the Duke of Cumber-
land would proceed to Windsor to the King. His Royal High.
tress, we understand, enjoys excellent health.—( Morning
Herald.)
