BRIGHTON, Ocr. 25.—1 t is currently reported here, that
the Duchess of Gloucester will be at the pavilion on the 3d of
November; but nothing farther is mentioned respecting the
desired return of the King. It is not only said that the Royal
Duchess will be with us at the time stated, but that his Ma-
jesty has made a present of the palace to his beloved sister.—
The above report, it seems, has been occasioned by a private
letter, received from some person connected with her Royal
Highness's establishment, and has occasioned no ordinary sen-
sation here. The Marquis or 'Titchfield took leave of us for
town, on Sunday. Lord Lisburn anil son left us this after.
noon. Lord Selsey, from his. Sussex seat, West Dean, was
here yesterday; his Lordship took dinner at the Royal York
Hotel, but returned to West Dean in the evening.

EDINBURGH, OCT. 25.—Ye-sterday forenoon
ttle remains of the Duchess of Gramont, whichihave lain in the
royal vault of the Chapel of Holyrood, since the year 1803,
were transported in a hearse from the Palace to Newhaven, to
be embarked on board the French corvette at anchor in the
Roads. The Lord Provost and Magistrates, the Lord Advo-
cate, the Lord Chief Baron, Sir Patrick Walker, Sir. Henry
Jardine, Mr. Dickie, bailie of the Palace, Mr. Young, Mr.
Ayton, Ste. attended, and followed the hearse is mourning
coaches to the place of embarkation, as a testimony of respect
for the memory of the illustrious lady, who died while sharing
the exile of tke royal family of France. The original shell
had previously been enclosed in a new coffin of a very superb
description,, covered with crimson velvet, and gorgeously orna-
mented. The plate bore the following inscription
:
Louise Francoise Gabrielle Aglae,
De Polignac
Duchess de Gramont,
Nee a l'aris le 7 Mai
170;
Morte le 30 Mars,

On arriving at Newhaven, the coffin was removed from the
hearse, and carried without a pall to the boat, escorted by the
crew of the corvette. It was then placed in an outter shell,
and covered with the white flag, over which was spread the
British Union. The French flag was also hoisted at the same
time on board the ship and the boat. which immediately pushed
off: It had been arranged that the Fort should fire minute guns,
but this order was countermanded, at the request of the Com-
missioner appointed to receive the body, M. !Nadal Dugas. A
great.concourse of spectators assembled to witness the ceremony
both at Holyrood and Newhaven.

Mr. Moo Res projected Life of Lord Byttow
will, of course, be founded in a great degree
upon the general contents of that left by the
Noble Author himself, which was' so improperly
suppressed. We say improperly, because it would
be ridiculous to conceive that the author would
leave any brand upon his own memory. The
public, however, has reason to be glad that Mr.
MOORE has adopted the subject, and the work,
when finished, will doubtless be as eagerly sought
for as his admirable Life of Mr. Surainmq,which
went off entirely on the (lay of publication.

A very general belief has obtained within these
few days among the monied men in the city, that
the rate of interest on Exchequer-bills will be
increased early in December from lid. to id.
per diem, which advance will bring the annual
interest to 3 per cent. The recent state of the
market for those securities proves that it is with
difficulty they are prevented from falling to a
discount, and is probably the foundation of the
opinion that the interest will be increased.

Mr. OSTOLASSOR, Counsellor.of State, at St.
Petersburgh, has been appointed Director of all

The_ first attempt'at Macadamization in Franca
