FASHIONABLE. SC NDAL.—There is a scan-
dalous gossipping rumour at present current in
the fashionable world, which, though very posi-
tively circulated, we notice merely for the pur-
pose of checking so very improbable a story,
which is supposed to be the result of medical
cnu.- The story imports, that a distinguished
character found his medical favourite rather too
free with his favourite female, and that, though
suffering under infirmity, lie was roused by the
occasion, and exercised his crutch with so much
vigour upon the unlucky gallant, as to afford him
an opportunity of exerting his professional skill
upon himself. We again think it necessary to
declare, that we notice this improbable scandal
for the purpose of checking its circulation.

KING'S THEATHE.—This Theatre was last
night crowded as before, and the Opera of Zed-
mira went off with great success. The Boxes
were more occupied than on Saturday. Madame
COLTMAN is obviously rising in favour. Her voice
becomes more powerful. Its intonation is very
sweet, and her ear seems to be correct. Ros-
slNr did not sit at the Piano-forte last night, but
his Opera was not the less attended to, or ap-
plauded.

The two following letters were written by the
King of PORTUGAL immediately after the de-
struction of the Constitutional Srtem,Aand re-
turned to him unopened, the Brazilian Govern-
ment not allowing them to be landed:—

LETTER WHITTEN WITH HIS OWN HAND EY THE KING
TO HIS SON, HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE DON

PEDRO. DE ALCANTARA.
"MY SON—It is time to put an end to the fatal dissensions
which have disunited the two kingdoms of Portugal and Brazil,
done such considerable' injury to their inhabitants, and so
deeply afflicted my heart. The great events which have re-
cently occurred here, by restoring to me the crown, surrounded
splendour it formerly had, have afforded me the
nappy of inviting you with open arms, and of be-
ingby the
ready
opportunity sameldyam to
in my bosom the filial sentiments with
wilic
are animated.
" I have already sent orders for the immediate suspension of

wbe-
hostilities in Bahia ; I have removed all the obstacles which
the e

t
favour of the trade of Brazil, and no alteration exists on my
part which can produce the smallest change in the former rela-
on your part, contribute to their early re.esta- 1
tions of the Portuguese of both hemispheres. I therefore hope
b lthatish

one day to reign, to whom we are so much indebted, and whose

trust that you will correspond, with pleasure and frank -
n
and that you will comply in every

thing that may be beneficial to the two kingdoms and con-
formable to the dignity of our persons, of our 'House and
family, and with the true interests of all Portuguese.

blessing which with pleasure 1 now bestow on you, as a Father
who dearly loves you.

LETTER OF THE KING TO HER HIGHNESS THE PRINCESS

ROYAL.

"Mr DEAREST DAUGHTER—i have received several of
your letters, which I highly prized, as they assured me you
were well, and that you were happily delivered of a daughter.
—I have not answered them, because circumstances have not
allowed me, and now that it is in my power, Ido not lose the
opportunity. of testifying to you my esteem and my regret at
our separation. The bearer of this letter is the Count de Rio
Major. I suffer a good deal in my legs ; the rest of the Royal
Family are well. I hope this will find you and all your family
in good health, and accept the best wishes of your affectionate
father. (Signed) " THE KING.
" Palace of Bemposta, July 23, 1823."

Yesterday a Committee of both Houses of Par-
iament, headed by the Great Chamberlain, went
to yisit and explore the vaults and cellars under-

neath both Houses, in order to ascertain they did
not contain any inflammable or combustible
matter. This is vulgarly called Guy Fawkes's
Committee, and the historical circumstance
which gave rise to the proceeding is well known.
Yesterday afternoon, the Duke of Yonx, as
Commander-in-Chief, held a Levee at his Office
in the Horse Guards, which was attended by
Major-General 'Fuller, on his being appointed to
the command of the 96th Regiment : also Major-
General Sir Henry Campbell, Lieut.-General
Slade, General Sir William Robinson, Commis-
sary General ; Lieut.-General Sir William Hou-
stone, Lieut.-General Sir Hudson Lowe, and
about thirty others.

_.....,
Yesterday the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, Pcin-
cess SOPHIA, and the Duchess of KENT visited the Duke of
YORK, at his residence, in the King's Palace, St. James's,
where their Royal Highnesses partook of a dejeune. The
Royal party separated about three o'clock, when the Duke
went to hold his Levee.

The total Abolition of Lotteries is the more
universally lamented since the immense Number
of SEVEN of 220,000! has been introduced into
One Scheme, for which it is now the interest of
every one to Purchase a Ticket or Shure—for if

this capability had been discovered many years
ago, what Riches would have been distributed
through every Country in the United Kingdom.
The DRAWING will COMMENCE on the 19th
FEBRUARY, when from 7 to 8,000 Tickets will
be Drawn, and every Ticket a Prize. The
Two FIRST will each have 820,000 ! All Money
extra, in the First Five Minutes, which the Con.
tractors trust, with their usual good Fortune, to
distribute to their Friends at 37, Cornhill, 11,
Holborn, and 38, • Haymarket.—J. and J. SIVE.
