supplied Mr. Beresford has been expended in vain. Mr.
Ward is one of the most valuable Reformers in the House of
Commons. Mr. Ward polled more thau two hundred
plumpers.

Sir Philip Sidney., one of his Majesty's sons-in-law,
is to be created Lord budley and Leicester ; one account, we
believe, incorrectly, says Lord Debrett ; but the mistake does
not surprise us, who know that Sir Philip has been long
wavering as to the title he would prefer, and we have heard of
some thirty or forty titles he has had at various times in con-
templation.—Morning Advertiser.

Duke will embark with the Conde Ficalho and Baron da Ban-
deira, the commissioners despatched by the Portuguese Go-
vernment to Munich. The Duke, after a brief sojourn at
Brighton, will proceed to Falmouth, where there is a small
squadron of men-of-war waiting his arrival.
