CHELTENIIAM, APRTL 26.—The Duke of I.r. ELLIXGTOW
has been a very early riser since his arrival .here. His Grace
was this morning at the Royal, or Old Wells, before seven
o'clock, drinking the water, from which the Duke has derived
much benefit. His Grace took his departure in his travelling
carriage and four, to the great regret of the visitors and in-
habitants. The Duke was attended by Dr. Cowley during his
stay here. The town is getting very gay and full for the season
of the year.
Tint LATE ELOPEMENT.—(BrusseIs, April 26.)--The
only topic of conversation here at present is Miss Boughton's
elopement. As I perceive it still continues a subject of interest
at the other side of the water, you will not, in all rrobability,
be sorry to hear a few additional particulars from the fountain-
head, for the truth of which I can vouch. The manner in
which they got off was ingenious, and threw the young lady's
friends (to use a sportsman's phrase) completely on the wrong
scent. A friend of Mr. Robinson's, a Mr. W---, hired a
chaise and post-horses, as if to take himself to Calais at fire
o'clock on the evening preceding the day on which the parties
eloped. He sent them back, however, after he had proceeded
about a stage, and they were in readiness at one o'clock on the
following morning, when the adventurous fair one, accompanied
by her inamorata, set off for Ostend. Inquiries were made at all
the hotels, and it was ascertained that the latest hour at which an
application for post-horses had been made was five o'clock the
evening before (when Miss Boughton was known to beat home)
and these were taken by Mr. W. for Calais. In the mean while
the lovers proceeded on their way, and they had so well ma-
naged matters, that a packet for Harwich was ready for sea with
her sails flying, when they drove down, without stopping, to
the beach and stepped on board. Here, too, their prcvoyance
did not fail them ; for upon the arrival of the young ladies
friends the following day, they were informed that a packet had
been hired to convey a lady and Gentleman to Dover. It may
be supposed that the gentleman was not sparing of that metal
which makes the " mare to go," and converts the trot ofpost-
korses into a genii); for the postilions on their return to Brus-
sels declared they had never driven. so bard or been so well
paid in their lives. The young lady has left a number of des-
pairing lovers behind her.

PHIA, went to view the alterations, improve-
ments, and decorations which have been for some
time making in the State Rooms, in the King's
Palace, St. James's. The Royal Party were re.
ceived by Sir THOMAS LAWRENCE, Sir CHAMLES
LONG, and Mr. MASH.
Yesterday, about one o'clock, the Princess
AUGUSTA received visits from the Duchess of
GLOUCESTER, the Duchess of KENT, the Princess
FEODORE, the Princess VITTORIA, and the Prince
of LEINENGEN. The Royal Party partook of a
dejeune.—The Princess AUGUSTA took an airing
in her carriage yesterday in the Parks.—yester-
day the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE took an
airing in their carriage and four.

Tire Earl of LIVERPOOL has derived great be-
nefit from drinking the Bath waters. The Noble
Earl was to leave Bath yesterday morning for
Clifton, to drink the waters there for a few days.
Earl BATHURST has postponed the dinner,
which his Lordship was to have given in comme-
moration of his MAJESTY'S Birth-Day, in conse-
quence of the death of a near relative, the Mar-
quess of LOTHIAN.

- The recent conduct of Baron VANDER CAPEL-
LAN to Sir S. and Lady RAFFLES, when they
touched, in June last, at Batavia, on their way
to Bencoolen, is a fair specimen of the line of
conduct which will be adopted by the Dutch,
when they obtain the cession of Bencoolen, &c.! !
