THE KING.

I HANOVER, OCT.I6.—On the 12th, in the fore-
noon, his MAJESTY was pleased to give a private
audience to the General in Chief, Count Ben-
ningsen, accompanied by the Countess Berming-
sen. His Majesty then gave a public audience
sitting on the Throne, and surrounded by the
Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge, the Mi-
nisters, the Chief Officers of the Court, &c. to
the Deputations from the General Assembly of
the States of the Kingdom ; the Hereditary Land
Marshal was at their head, having on his right
hand
.the President of the First Chamber, and
on his left the President of the Second Chamber.
His Majesty replied in the most gracious terms
to the Address spoken- by the President, Count
Meerveld.. The High Chamberlain then pre-
sented in succession applications from numerous
public bodies and cities.—His Majesty received
them standing, and answered the Addresses most
graciously in the German language.—ln 'the af-
ternoon his Majesty was moat agreeably sur-
prised by the arrival of her Royal Highness the-
Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, who reached
Hanover some days sooner than the accounts that
had been received gave occasion to expect.—ln ,
the evening the Officers of all the corps give his
Majesty a serenade by torchlight. His Ma-
jesty, attended by all 'the Royal and Noble
personages now with him, appeared at the bal-
cony of the Palace towards the garden, and
was welcomed with the lotidest acclamations.—
On the 13th the King reviewed the troops assem-
bled on a plain near Stocker.—His Majesty
dined at a table of 46 covers, at which all the
Royal Princes and Princesses, and the Foreign
Princes now here, were present, as well as the
Foreign Ministers to this Court, and those who
have come on special Missions, his Majestys
Ministers and their Ladies, the Marquis of Lon-
donderry, and several Foreign Generals and Ad-
mirals now .here.--On the 14th his Majesty
transacted bnsiness with Count Munster and the ,

Marquis d Londonderry. In the ensuing night
his Majesty war seized with an attack of the
gout in the knee. On the 15th he saw only the
.11Oyal Princes and. the Landgravine of HesSe
Homburg.--The attack of the gout under which
the King suffers is but slight, and as the accounts
of last night are not more unfavourable than those
of the preceding, we may entertain the hope of
seeing his Majesty speedily recovered.' The au-
diences to have been given yesterday to.several
Foreign Ministers were necessarily put off. We
shall communicate the Bulletins as soon as we re-
ceive them.—The serenade by torch-light, given
by the officers, had an uncommonly fine effect;
above one thousand torches collected in a small

compass in the garden of Herrenhausen, sprea

a mass of light, which, at a great distance,
was taken for a large ball of fire.—At the review
on, the 13th, fourteen battalions of Infantry,
several brigades of Artillery, and eight regiments
of Cavalry were collected. The King, at whose
arrival and departure a Royal salute was fired,
first rode along the line ; by his side was his
Royal Highness the Governor-General, behind
him the Princes on horseback, and the Princesses
and and a numerous suite in carriages, drawn by
six and four horses. Both the troops and the
numerous spectators (200 carriages were drawn

up opposite the line) received his Majesty with
the most euthusiastic transports of loyalty. When
the King had returned to the centre, the Gover-
nor-G eneral placed himself at the head of the
corps, which then marched in parade before the.
King. The Duke of Cumberland was at the
head of the 2d Regiment of. Hulans. The In-

fantry then returned to its cantonments, and to
the camp ; the Cavalry and Horse Artillery
turned to the left, and again passed his Majesty
at full gallop. Every body present, strangers as
well as natives, admired the fineappearance of
the troops, and his Majesty expressed his satis-
faction in the most nattering manner.—The Ci-

tizes had hoped to see his. Majesty again in the
evening, and crowded round the illuminated

Palace of the Governor-General.—His. Royal
Highness invited the foreign Princes and other
distinguished strangers, and a great number
of the principal inhabitants to a ball. His
Maje3ty, however, remained that evening 'in
his Palate, btit the people had the' pleasure
of seeing her Royal Highness 'the Landgra-
vine of HeSSe Hombui-g.-L-On the 15th the
Infantry was exercised ; this morning there
were grand evolutions- in the Lindenberg. To-
morrow the cavalry will exercise. On the

18th the infantry and artillery will celebrate the
victory of NlTaterloo, and in the evening there

will be fire-Aorks at lierrenhausen. The next
day the grand hunt on the. Deister. On the
20th the army will parade, and it is said that,
with the exception of the Guards and the 2d

Regiment of Infantry, the army will march from
this neighbourhood. the • same day. His Royal
llighntls the Governor General has, by the
desire, and in his name, thanked the Ma-

. „
gistrates and Citizens for the proofs of joy and
attachment to his Royal person on the day of

Is public entry) the remembrance of which will
ever dear to his Majesty. His Royal High-

Bess likewise thanks the Magistrates and Citi-
zens for their active assistance in, the means
adopted to solemnize that day. His Royal
.Ifigh-
ness has further notified his Majesty's satisfac-
tion to the Citizens who formed a corps of in-
fantry, adding, that it is with particular pleasure
he communicates to the infantry corps_ of the
citizens these sentiments- of his Majesty, %Ihich

are likewise his own. The number of visiters
increases daily. Among them are the Prince of
.Bentheim and Prince Lippe Schauenburg, the
Prince of Sondershausen, the Prince of Hohen-
lobe, the i.avarian Ambassador, Gen. Von Stock-
horn, M. Von Langsdorff (Hessian Ambassador
to the Court of London), &c. We expect the
Prince Metternich from Vienna, the British Am-
bassador at the Court of Berlin, the Russian
Ambassador at the Court of London,. and many
other distinguished foreigners.

NOBLE INSTANCE OF PUBLIC SPIRIT.

We have just received an important document,
-by which we learn, that- independently of the
large reward offered. by the Government for the
discovery of the persons concerned in the murder
of the late Major GOING, a sum of 2001. will be
given by Major STEWART, on behalf of himself
and the Police Establishment, for such informa-
tion as will-lead to the conviction of the perpe-
trators of the horrible act. The following is a
copy .of the Notice, publicly given of the inten-
-tion of that high-spirited Gentleman, who is de-
voting his life . and property to .the preservation
of the peace of the county :

" Police-Office, Rathkeale, Oct. 18, 1821.

" Holding in abhorrence the barbarous murder of Mr. Gloria,
and wishing to bring the. assassins to the punishment of the
law,'l do hereby far myself and the Police Establishment of
the County of Ilmerick, under my command, offer a reward of
Two Hundred Pounds, t 3 any person'or persons who will give
me such private information as will lead to the discovery and
conviction of the perpetrator or perpetrators of that inhu-
man act. •

" IVILLIAM STEWART.

" Rathkeale, Oct. 18, 1821."

That is one of the effectual means of restrain-
ing the ferocity of the banditti, or rather of the
assassins, because the magnitude of the reward
cannot•fail to excite such mutual distrust as not
only to check their designs, but to lead to the
discovery of the members of the horrible conspi-
racy. We hope such an example will not be
exhibited without exciting a congenial feeling in
every person in the county, and that such a ge-
neral subscription, for the same purpose, will
take plaCe among the well-affected and opulent
inhabitants abhorring such deeds, every one con-
tributing according to his means, as will be suffi-
cient to induce some of the conspirators to dis-
close the names of the princi pal advisers and actors.

The Right lion. CHARLES GRANT and the
ATTORNEY-GENERAL have arrived in town ;
the former from Scotland, and the latter from
the county of Kilkenny. Major WARSURTON
has arrived from the county of Limerick, and
he 'has been for some hours this day at Dublin
Castle, giving to his Excellency the LOrd Lieu-
tenant, the Right lion. Secretary, the Chief Law
Officer of the Cro,,n, and to Mr. GREGORY, the
best information which can be obtained of the
actual situation of the disturbed districts, or of
the extent and object of the conspiracy, as far as
his exertions had been sufficient to unravel any
part of so compltcated a plot.—'We have heard

. .
front a person on whose authority we can impli-
citly rely, that on Thursday night a policeman
was shot near Adare.--A circumstance is men-

tioned 'to have occurred in the vicinity of the
place where Mr, SPARLING was waylaid and
wounded, that would shevv how extensive the
conspiracy is, and how necessary energetic mea-
sures are for the'safety of every loyal peaceable
person in the county. - When the report of the
shot, which had been
.fired at Mr. SPARLING, was
heard by some of the peasantry, who were then
working at about the distance of a quarter of a
mile from the place, some of them immediately
exclaimed," there goes SPARLING !"—Such hor-
rible events occur so frequently, that the feel-
ings of nature seem to be extinct in the hearts of
some of the peasantry. If any personasks who
is the man " who was murdered on such a night ?"
the usual answer is " only a Policeman" or
" only a Tithe Proctor."—lt is said that an oath,
to the following effect, is administered to the de-
luded peasantry—" No Rents, no Tithes, no
Taxes ! !"--(The Dublin Correspondent, Oct. 20:)

The Old Times, which is ever on the watch
for some Opportunity of inflaming the ignorint,
and giving confidence to the seditious, has a con-
temptible and self-contradicted story, of a culpa-
ble neglect of the precautions which the state of
Spain renders so nece:lary ; and it adds the diabo-
heal insinuation--that the British GoVernment
May, perhaps, think it " a piece of justifiable
policy to expose England to the preventive check
of pestilence, lest those of :ear and occadonal
want of filod shoUld fail szyfidently to reduce her
nundmrs .2" Is there any term of loathing too
strong for such a pUblicatiou?:--(Durhani county
Advertiser.) •

It is reported that a Jury will speedily 'be
called upon to decide the legality of claims,
em-
bracing, it is said, neatly two-thirds of the valu-
able property longs enjoyed by the Corporation
of a Borough Town in the West, nOt
,1,00 miles
from ibis city. The claimant is a. very poor
man, and very sanguine of success. Want of
the " ways and means" is the reason assigned tor
delay, a4dfliese, it itiould seem, are now amply
provided bq a gentleman 'who espouses his cause.
