THE. KING'S VISIT TO THE CONTINENT..

The foreign journals are full of accounts of preparations for
the reception of the KING of ENGLAND in various parts of the
Continent, especially Germany. Hik Majesty will visit Cologn,
Bonn, Coblenti, there cross the Rhine to inspect the almost
impregnable fortress of Ehrenbreitstein, Jouannisburg, the
seat of Prince Metternich, Wiesbaden, Frankfort (and in that
neighbourhood continue a day or two with his sister the Princess
of Hesse Homburg), Darmstadt, Manheim, Heidelburg (to see
the great tun), Ludwigsburg, Stutgard (where, with the Queen
Dowager of Wurtemburg, late Princess Royal of England, he
will remain some time, not having seen her since she left her
home) ; from thence to Ulm, cross the Danube, and pass
through Augsburg to Munich, afterwards over the plain of
Hohenlinden to Passau, or go at once to Regensburg, to visit
the father of the Princess .Esterhazy, and there embark on the
" Dark rolling Danube" for Vienna. It is said his Majesty
has expressed a wish to stop at the fine city of Lentz, also at
the noble Convent at Molk, of which a correct description is
given by Dibdin in his Bibliographical and Picturesque Tour;
also to inspect, the fine ruin in which the lion-hearted Richard
was confined. The Marquis of Hastings, who is orthis return
from his Government in India, has been appointed Ambassa-
dor to Austria ; he does not come here, but is expected to meet
the King of England at Vienna. The sports and pastimes in
preparation by the Emperor of Austria are reported to be on a
scale of uncommon magnificence ; all the petty Princes and in-
ferior Kings in Germany will assist at these banquets. Hit
Majesty has promised to visit the Principality of Esterhazy, in
Hungary, and return by way of Prague, Toplitz, and Dresden.
Should the state of the road permit, he will go from thence to
Berlin, and take Hanover on his way home. , Paris is included
in the tour, but' in what stage of it is not yet determined.

KING'S THEATRE.—The MI.SQUERADE at this
Theatre last night was ,one of the best entertain-
ments 'of the kind that has lately appeared. The
company -was very numerous, and. was diversified
by a variety of characters, some of which highly
contributed to the general amusement. There
were plenty of Nuns, some of -whom. were evi-
dently not connected with any. other Convents
than those which are to be found-in the regions
of St. James's,' as, well as of Friars who were
as little allied to religious institutions. Two
or three : Harlequins were PreSent but they
seemed, to be much better calculated to appear
as Clowns. Two or three of the latter descrip-
tion, and two Pierrots, acquitted themselves very
well. Several Shepherdesses, who certainly were
not characterized by the simplicity of Pastoral
life. A Courtier in his Court dress was charac•
teristically profuse in promises, and equally expert
in evading applications. The Fantoccini, which
appear in our public streets, were engaged for
the occasion, neatly stationed in one of the
boxes, and afforded a pleasing entertainment.—
The famous II Diavolo also was retained, and
attracted much attention by his extraordinary
skill in rope-dancing.—The supper was admirable
and the wines also very good.—Though 'the in-
fluence of the grape was very obvious in many of
the male visitors, anti, strange to say, upon some
of the Nuns and Friars, yet there were no mis-
chievous effects of Bacchanalian inspiration ; but
the cOmpany in,general seemed disposed rather
for- merritpent.—Our Correspondent left the
place about five in the morning, and there
_was
.still remaining a numerous company, who all ap-
.peared to be animated by a-desire to
- the present hour, nor fear the hit."
