THE INTERESTING STRANGERS.

The KING and QtrEEN of the SANDWICH ISLANDS paid a
visit on Saturday to the Royal Military Asylum. Their Ma-
jesties were attended by Sir WILLOUGHBY GORDON, and
appeared much delighted with the establishment, the nature
of which was explained to them by the interpreter.—
Their Majesties were received by the full band playing
" God save the King," and were highly gratified with the
skill of the juvenile Musicians. The band. consists .of all
the usual instruments, the senior performer is • not more
than fourteen,and the youngest seven years old. it is indeed
a scene of no ordinary gratification to witness the healthy ap-
pearance and happy looks of a thousand of our gallant sol-
diers' children, who are generously protected by their country,.
and destined probably at some future day to evince their gra-
titude by fighting her battles. After having seen the children
at dinner, their Majesties witnessed the various gymnastic
exercises for the introduction of which we are indebted to
Captain Clias, and which are so admirably adapted to invi-
gorate the frame, and in particular to form expert and able
seamen. The Majesties afterwards breakfasted with-Sir
loughby Gordon, and were saluted at their departure by the
hearty cheers of the youthful regiment, which was drawn up
before them. Much has been said of •the personal appearance
of these royal strangers, and much (as we have ahead observ-
ed) that is erroneous. Her Majesty, we repeat, is certainly a
fine full-grown lady ; she is remarkably well-made, possesses
an open and very agreeable countenance, not- devoid even of
sweetness and sensibility, with good eyes and teeth, and is by no
means deficient in gracefulness of manner or elegance of de-
meanour. The Lady attendant may also be considered to possess
the most pleasing personal appearance. The King is about the
medium height, and of an universally' vigorous frame. His
gait bespeaks an internal feeling of superiority. He meets
the gaze of the surrounding crowd with the most perfect
self-possession. His countenance is expressive of much deter-
mination, " Tenor proposiii" is written on his brow, where
however there is to be traced no appearance of ferocity. The
High-Admiral is tall, and very athletic, and appears to regard
whatever may be passing before him with an inquisitive and
reflecting eye. - The naval power of the country has been va-
riously stated. We believe it consists. of 13 vessels of small
dimensions. The trade is considerable. Their Majesties have
brought over a considerable sum of money in dollars.
The
dress of the whole party is now according to the English, cos-
tume.

- The West Briton, on the authority of news by
the last packet, gives the following as a list of the ships left by
that packet at Rio Janeiro :—L'Eylau, 80 guns; Le Trident,
74 ; ha Marie Therese, 64 ; La Magicienne, 44 ; La Thetis,
44 ; La Medee, 44 ; Circe, 44 ; h'Armitle, 44 ; L'Astrea-
-44 ; L'Esperance, 28 ; L'Echo, 28 ; La Diligence, 98 ; Le

Very little business has been done in either

Consols opened at 95k, and have remained tit
that price n,ithout fluctuation.

able to assure our Readers, that no Congres'

year. Whilst Politiciacs, however, are busy"
ing themselves as to the probable effect of the

defeat of the French Ministry on their Fin

composition of the French Ministry Oleo"

all parties that the unexpected posit7on ill
