THE KING.

Advices were received yesterday at Carlton
Palace from Hanover, deed on Wednesday last.
His MAJESTY'S attack of the gout has been very
slight, and, we rejoice to say, he is recovering
from it rapidly. His MAJESTY set off from Ha-
nover yesterday, on his return to this country.—
The following is an extract of a private letter:—
HANOVER, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 17.

" You will have learned, that the slight indis-
position of his Majesty has occasioned some in-
terruptions of that series of celebrations that
were prepared by a joyous people to honour his
reception ; but I have great pleasure in inform-
ing you, that the statement of this morning is,
that our Sovereign is Considerably better, and
that he will not be much longer confined to the
Palace. The 'indisposition is a very slight at-
tack of the gout, affecting the knee. His Ma-
jesty' is zealously attended by Sir W. Knighton,
his Physician, and Mr. Walker, the Royal Apo-
thecary; and the general good health of the
King is such, as to leave no doubt that, in a day
or two, he will be enabled to take his accus-
tomed exercise in public.
,This trifling interrup-
tion of health has not occasioned any interrup-
tion of public business. His Majesty has daily
given audience to the Marquis of Londonderry,
and to the Foreign Ministers here.—With re-
spect to the Palace of Herrenhausen, at which
his Majesty resides, it may not be uninteresting
to inform you that it is about a mile and a half
from Hanover. • For upwards of sixty years it
has not had a Royal visitor; indeed it had no
inhabitants but persons connected with the house-
hold. What changes have taken place were
made expressly for his Majesty. The beauti-
ful situation of the Palace, the high cultivation
around -it, and its gardens and plantations,
which occupy nearly forty acres, all contri-
bute to produce the most enchanting effect. At
this pleasing residence his Majesty remained
somewhat closely confined during Monday,
the slight attack of the gout having commenced
on Sunday. He admitted but few visitors.—
Yesterday the King gave long and particuar
audiences to the Marquis of Londonderry, and
to some foreign personages of distinction ; and
on the evening of that day, dispatches for Erg.
land were made up.—Betweeu the Palace of
Herrenhausen and Hanover is the fine mansion
which was formerly the residence of Count Wal-
moden. It was afterwards purchased by the
-Hanoverian Government. That Mansion is the
present residence of the Marquis of London-
derry, who has with him Lord Clanwilliain, his
Private Secretary. The Noble Marquis is very
much liked, and is every where received with
uncommon respect. His affable manners; and
Ids gentlemanly condescension, secure to him the
admiration of all parties.—The dinner parties at
the Palace of Herrenhausen are daily of an ex-
tensive and most splendid character. The various
foreigners, who are here from different Courts,
give an increased eclat to the lists of visitors, as
well as to the dinner and evening parties. There
are daily three distinct tables. The demand for
provisions at Hanover has not been for years any
thing like what it now is. Of course, there have
been consequent rises in the prices. Such, in-
deed, has been the consequence of theinfiux.of
visitors, that a bed for one night, at the ordinary
inns, costs a Louis il'or, and this price receives
the sanction of the Authorities here.—To-morrow
(Thursday) is expected to be a gay day with us.
In the course of the afternoon his Majesty, it is
supposed,will be able to attend a further, although
it can be only a partial, review of the troops at pre-
sent stationed about the Palace, and ill the neigh-
bourhood of -Hanover, amounting to upwards of
20,000 in number, cavalry and infantry included.
The appearance of these troops is most imposing.
After this review, there will be a splendid exhi-
bition of fire-works in the gardens and grounds.
surrounding the Palace of Herrenhausen; at
which the public will be indiscriminately ad-
mitted. It is at present positively calculat&l
that his Majesty will not extend his visit .to us
beyond the middle of next week—not after the
24th inst. Sir B. Bloomfield has orders to that
effect. The Director of the Prussian Posts is
already here, waiting to receive his instrixctions
respecting the route lat his Majesty may take ;
and he has commands from his own Government-
to secure all possible facilities.

" P.S.—I ought to mention a curious robbery
that has taken place here, and which has occa-
sine& a good deal of conversation, as well
_as
much activity on the part of the Police. Sir B.
Bloomfield left his watch in a chamber adjoining
to his room. lie was absent for a short time 4 a
person with a message from the King having de-
tained hint, when on his way Jcoack to.thisfham-
ber ; but on returning, he discovered that the
watch was,gone. This loss is•the more vexatious
to• Sir B. Bloomfield,
.as the watch was the gift
of The King, and contains within it a tine likeness
of his Majesty. All the endeavours of the Police
to get any traces of it have as yet been fruitless."
