ThE KING.

PARIS, OCT. B.—The KING of ENGLAND, dr-
rived on the '.2d at Aix-la-Chapelle. His 'MA-
JESTY was, escorted as far as the frontiers of
Prussia by a detachment of Belgic Lancers.-
-During his I"IAJESTY's residence at Lille, many
persons solicited the honour of being admitted to
his presence. Among the number was. Madame
BAyAan, of Armoutieres, who was for a 'short
time the nurse of, the Duke de BoancAux, but
who was obliged to give up the office on account
of ill health. This Lady presented her son, the
foster-brother of the young Prince, to his MA-
J ESTY, who was lavish of his caresses on the
child.

HANOVER, SEPT. 29.—His MAJESTY, OUT So-
vereign, who is expected here on the 4th or 6th,
will throw off the incognito on entering our
territory. The necessary orders have been given
for his MAJESTY'S reception at Osnabruck. The
KING will sleep at Diepholz or Nieuborg. The
second regiment of Hussars has set out to escort.
WS MAJESTY. Our Sovereign will proceed from
this place to Gottingen. Among the foreigners
of distinction expected here is the Archduke
FERDINAND of Austria. It is said that the King
of PaussiA will send the Counts de TAUENZIEN,
de BORSTEL, and de NATZMER, to compliment
our Sovereign. The troops ordered to assemble
in our town and the neighbourhood are arrived,
and we are in daily expectation of the arrival of
Count de MUNSTER from Dernebourg.

IMPROVEMENTS IN THE CITY or-WESTMIN-
STER.-The new front to Westminster Hall is an
earnest of future improvements ; the whole
of that extensive building is to be repaired ;
the ancient • statues :of the Saxon Kings and
Judges are to be restored in their proper niches ;
the armorial bearings of the founder, Rufus,
and his Knights, are to be replaced, and
also those of Richard the Second. But ab6ve
all, the renovation of the Chapel of Henry the 7th
must attract admiration ; by this means all the
designs of the great Sir Edward Belkuass
again placed before us. Some, indeed, have
censured the execution for the profusion of
monsters sprawling (such the expression of the
critic) about the sacred building, viz.
.lions, dra-
gons, greyhonuds, &c. These were anciently
called " the King's beasts'," or his 'heraldic
bearings, to denote the illustrious Houses
from which that Sovereign descended. Why
the dragon is so often introduced is, the most
obvious-; it was the favourite banner of the
Seventh Henry, because borne by Cadwallader,
fromwhom that King boasted his.desc,e'nt. it was
his standard in Bosworth Field when he overcame
Richard the Third, and which, aftef' the victory;
on his arrival in the capital,he caused to be offered
as a trophy, with thanksgiving, in the church of
St. Paul ; and farther to do honour to this stand-
ard, Henry instituted the office of
.Rouge Dragon
Pursuivant. he like banners of the dragon are
within the chapel, on the beautiful tomb of this
Monarch.

The alterations and improvements in St..Tames's
Palace will be on a much larger scale than was
originally contemplated. They will embrace the
suite of apartments occupied by the Duke of
CUMBERLAND. A grand portico will be opened
into St. James's Park directly in front of St.
James's-street.

The new Duchy of Cornwall Office, now build-
ing near the scite of the Savoy. close to Waterloo
Bridge, will be a lofty edifice, corresponding
with So►nerset House, and in a line with it and
the Adelphi.

LEITH WALK.,-7—We lately noticed what we
considered .a great improvement in the coinmunication between
this City and Leith, the paving one of the foot paths of the Waik,
which was then in progress. The measure, we understand.,
has met with opposition, and has in consequence been inter-
dicted, and consequently the work for the present suspended.—
(Edinburgll Courant, Oct. 8.)

LORD CHANCELLOR ihanwicKE.--7-This great
lawyer's attention. to business was so great, that
on the (lay of his marriage he went to chambers
as soon as the ceremony was over, to Inspect his
papers as usual.

The gold plate, which was ordered to be made

in lieu of those articles which were carried off
by some enthusiastic hands from the Coronation
Banquet, was on Saturday deposited in the Jew el
House, at the Tower, which now once more
boasts the whole Regalia complete.

STEAM-ENGINE SMOKE-CON!•UMPTION ACT.—
We hear that bills of indictment are preparing
to be preferred at the Quarter Sessions, under
Mr. M. A. YtyLott's Act, against certain manu-
facturers in this Borough, for the nuisance created
by their, Steam-engine Furnaces.--(Leeds Intel-
ligencer.)

The Commissioners of the Police, on Wed-
nesday last, (3d instant,) determined to _enforce
the provisions of Mr. M. A. TAyLort's Act, for
removing the nuisance of smoke arising from
Steam-engines, in every part of the district over
which their authority extends.----( _Manchester
Herald.)

HOAX IN ARLINGTON-STREET, rICCADILLY.-
Some mischievous persons have been reviving the
stale joke of a hoax among the various furnishing
tradesmen of the metropolis, which, from the dull
season of the year, has been very promptly at-
tended to. Various written orders have been sent
to upholsterers, cabinet-makers, ironmongers,
and others, to furnish different articles for Lord
ARBUTHNOT, who, it was represented, had taken
and was fitting up a town mansion in Arlington-
street, No, 26. Yesterday and the day before,
the street was visited by great numbers of these
deluded tradesmen, all in high expectation of
some good order, when, to their. .great disap-
pointment, they discovered that Lord ARBUTH-
NOT had given no orders, nor is there auy lumber.
beyond 25 in the street.
