WINDSOR..--SUNDAY, APRIL 23.

This morning his Majesty's suite and Household
attended divine service at the chapel attached to the
Royal Lodge, which was performed by the Reverend
Dr. Sumner, the Bishop of Landaff elect.
This afternoon, soon after four o'clock, his Majesty
and suite arrived in two phaetons drawn by ponies at
the Castle from the Royal Lodge, after attending divine
service at the private chapel, the King proceeding by
the retired rides in the Park as usual. His Majesty
viewed those parts of the improvements and alterations
in the Castle where he is not able to proceed in the
course of theweek, when the workmen are all busily
employed in their different. trades. A number a
spectators from Windsor, as well as visitors, were
attracted to see his Majesty, who is looking very well.
The comelete restoration of his Majesty's health
affords the highest satisfaction to every class of his sub-
jects ; the constant excursions which the King takes in
the delightful rides in the Great Park have much con-
tributed to this desirable event. The, interest which
the King feels in the magnificent alterations of the
Royal Castle, and the picturesque improvements in the
neighbourhood of the Royal Lodge, leads the King
frequently to inspect the works at those places and
also at Virginia Water, where preparations are making
for an elegant fishing-house, which has been for some
tune past building by Mr..Tebbott, the King's car-
penter, in the late Queen Charlotte's Mc s, which
has in consequence been closed. It is in a great state
of forwardness, and is to be completed by the com-
mencement of, the fishing season, when it is expected
the King will resume the amusement of angling.
Count Woronzow arrived at •the Castle about three
o'clock from the Royal Lodge.
Yesterday Prince Esterhazy transacted business at
the Foreign-office.
This afternoon the Band of Life Guards, who are
quartered here, played on the Terrace, where the com-
pany were very numerous.

ST. GEORGE'S DAY.--The 23d April, the day
fixed for the celebration of his Majesty's birth, having
fallen on Sunday, this day has been observed as his
Majesty's Birth-day, in the usual manner, by the firing
of the Park and '1 ower guns, and other demonstra-
tions of joy.
It is said that the King is expected to come to town
some day this week, if his Majesty's health will per-
mit, when there is a probability that the Recorder will
make his report of the prisoners capitally convicted at
the February Old Bailey Sessions.
His Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived at Ber-
lin on Friday the 14th instant. lie was expected at
Brussels on Friday last. His Royal Highness the
Prince of Orange is expected every day.
A British Cabinet Messenger passed through Brus-
sels on ,Thursday at noon, on his way from St. Peters-
burgh to London with dispatches.
Lord Melville left town on Saturday, but will re-
turn this afternoon.

With reference to the'allusion we made on Friday
to the case of a gallant young officer at Portsmouth,
we are happy to be able to state, that he has obtained
a writ of Habeas Corpus for removal to the King's
Bench. _ _

We rather apprehend that the reports in the Morn-
ing Papers of his Majesty's intention to come to town
to-morrow are incorrect.
