THE KING.

Wrwpson, APRIL 9.—This morning his MaJEsTY for the
first time since his indisposition, attended Divine Service at
his private Chapel.—On Friday his Majesty with Lord and
Lady Strathaven, and his usual retinue took an airing in the
Great Park from two o'clock until five.—Yesterday his Ma-
jesty again drove to the Castle in his pony phaeton, and made a
most minute survey of the general improvements. His Majesty
entered the quadrangle on his arrival, and went through the
new corridor, round the south and east of this most majestic
Palace, communicating with 'the apartments. His Majesty
afterwards inspected the exterior of the works,
.and seemed
highly pleased with the progress made during his absence, from
indisposition. His Majesty left the Castle after a visit of nearly
an hour, and continued his airing in the Great Park. The
King was accompanied by the Lord
.Steward, and followed by
Lord and Lady Strathaven, and his suite, in two other phee.
tons. Mr. Wyatville was not at the Castle to receive his Ma-
jesty. This afternoon his Majesty is expected to take another
airing. Owing to the favourableness of the weather this day
the town of Windsor has been pattieularly gay with strangers.
The Terrace, which continues open for the promenade of the
Public on Sundays, has began to resume its wonted liveliness;
and the attraction of the Hand of the Life Guards for the first
time this season, which played from three o'clock until five,
completed the beauties of this unrivalled stalk. The state
apartments have always been sought by strangers, but we have
nothing which gives,more general satisfaction to the visitors
than the Public Monument to the Memory of the late beloved
Princess Carlotte, in St. George's Chapel.
