BRIGHTON, JAN. 7. ,

Yesterday morning the King gave audience to Sir James
Cockburn, after which his Majesty, accompanied by the
Queen, drove out in a chariot and four, with outriders, to
Shoreham and Kemp Town, passing frequently along the
Cliffs.

In the afternoon the Princess Augusta (with the Duchess
of Gloucester) made her first appearance in public since
her recent indisposition. It is satisfactory to be able to
state that her Royal Highness is now perfectly recovered,
and she enjoyed her airing till an advanced hour in the
evening.

The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, Sir Thomas
Troubridge, Lady Mary Talbot, S.r Edward Sugden, the
Hon. Mr. Sullivan, the Hon. Captain Paulett, Lieut.. Col.
Wynyard, Mrs. H. Stackpoole, M. Dedel, and Baron
Bulow, paid their respects to their Majesties.
Last evening their Majesties entertained at dinner the
Prince and Princess Lieven, Baron Billow., Mrs. Sullivan,
Lieut.-Colonel and Mrs. Seymour Bathurst, M. Dedel
(Dutch Special Minist,r), Sir James Cockburn, Sir
Charles and Lady Rowley, Lieut.-Colonel Riddell, Mr.
Calcraft, and Lord Saltoun, together with the Royal suite
and household.

Prince Talleyrand and the Duchess de Dino, and Prince
and Princess Lieven, took leave of their M.jesties, and
have returned to their respective residences in town. Their
Highnesses were daily guests at the Royal table during
their stay here, and experienced the most delicate and
unremitting attentions from their Ruyal hosts.
Yesterday the Duke of Sr. Alban's gave an entertain..
ment in falconry at Patcham, which, from its novelty to
the folk of Brighton, caused a vast assemblage of anxious
spectators ; nor, indeed, was the curiosity confined to those
uninitiated in this ancient amusement, as all the hunt ton
and people of respectability here, and of the surrounding
neighbourhood, were in attendance. The road adjoining
the rendezvous was crowded with carriages for a.. least a
mile. His Grace was dressed in the characteristic uniform
of the Grand Filconer, with a gold chain round his neck,
by which was suspended a medal, be,ring the insigni► of
his office. The unfavourable state of the weather, together
with the timidity of the pigeons which were selected for
the occasion, operated against the day's amusement, for no
sooner were the conscious little victims let loose to their
merciless enemy than they souht refuge under the
carriages, and some of them flew for protection to the fair
ones who were sitting inside. After this il!_managed fete
was over, many of the fashionables who attended were
invited by the Duchess to partake of a sumptuous dejeune
which was prepared at St. Alban's-house on their arrival.
