!Dinkier :he customary Oaths, the whole Cor-
poration being assembled in their gowns anti
standing, whilst their Royal Highnesses remained
with them. After the ceremony his Royal High-
ness was pleased to express his acknowledgements
to the Corporation in the most handsome terms.
Their Royal Higlonessesyemained in the hall con-
versing in the most a freebie and courteous manner
for more than half an hour, and on returning to
the carriage a considerable otimber of the in-
habitants had assembled, who gave them three
times three spontaneous end most hearty cheers.
His Royal Highness afterwards partook of a most
hospi..ahlo and sompttrous tottertainment provided
by the MAYOR, at the Ship inn, at which were as-
sembled the Recorder and near:y the whole of
the Corporation, with the Clergymen and prin-
cipal persons of the town ; Fotto, of the
Royal Engineers ; Adaiiral liazEr.Y, Hi other
Naval arid Military Characters. The antler eas
served in Il'atotrr's best style, tool consisted of
every thing that was good 'lhe Recorder, with
his accustomed liberality, had furnished from
BIRCH'S, in Cornhill, an ample supply of turtle,
which was most excellent. After the healths of
our venerable Monarch, the. PRINCE REGENT,
and the Royal Family, the health of the Duke of
CLAXENCE was proposed by the Mayor, THOMAS
MANTELL, Esq. and drank with great enthusiasm,
accompanied with three times three ntost hearty
cheers. The Doke returned thanks in warn) and
animated terms, and, at some length, expressing
his great satisfaction at being received with so
much Kindness and hospitality, at the first place he
had resided in after his return from the Continent,
thew a forcible picture of the state of this coun-
try, with respect to comforts, education, and other
advantages, contrasted with foreign countries,
and ended with expressing his strong wishes for
the prosperity of Dover. His Royal Highness's
Address, of which this conveys a very faint idea,
was given in that natural and unstudied manner, as
to impress on the company that it proceeded from
the heart. The MAYOR returned thanks in appro-
priate terms, and proposed the Health of the
Duchess of CLARENCE, which was drank with
great fervour. The memory of Mr. PITT was
thank with much teeliug, as there were few places
where personally he was so well known all at
Dover. Many loyal and constitutional roasts (01-
lowed. Mr. SuIPDEN, the Town Clerk, as De-
ploy Chairman, after a short eologium on the
Learned Judge, and alluding to a late trial, and
the eminent qualities displayed by him on that
occasion, which, lie observed, while they com-
manded the admiration of all good men, had oot
raised the slightest breath of dissatisfaction or ca•
lumny even from the bad part of thecommunity,--•
proposed the Health of a Man of Kent, " the
Lord Chief Justice ABBOTT," which was drank
with great applause. The Royal Doke continued
to enliven the circle about hi n) by his courteous
and cheerful conversation, until ten o'clock. At
intervels the company were etrertained t y some
excellent songs, medleys, and glees ; and it was
not possible for a day to have passed with greater
harmony and festivity. The Royal Visitors leave
,Dover Castle to-morrow, and it is no flattery to
add, that they will carry with them the regrets of
the inhabitants.

Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of
YORK arrived in town, et two o'cluck, from
‘Vindsor.

As Commercial Dktress is acknowledged to be
the cause why the populat :Nleetines are so mt-
merously attended, and that the want of Employ-
ment and not Politics is the real cause of discon-
tent, the European Markets being nearly shut
against our Manufactures, we would recant.
mend to the consideration of the Great Manutac.
turers the probable means of finding out new
channels for our Manufactures, and the securing,
extending, and protecting of our Commerce, re-
commended in a late Pamphlet on the Practical
Abolition niche Slave Trade and extension of Bri-
tish Commerce, as it tends more effectually than
the sword to tranquillize the Country, and once
more to give to honest industry a comfortable
independence.
