A dispatch fioM the Marquis of LON' DON-
pE4R y, dated Hanover, the 24th inst. , was yes-
terday received -by. Lord Viscount SIDMOUTif;
announcing- that his MAJESTY'S departure from
Hanover was postponed to the 29th inst.

[PRIVATE LETTEU.]
MulovEn, OCT. 24.--41 is MAJESTY'S depai-
tgre7Was been postponed to the 29th of. this
month, as. his; Majesty is notyet sufficiently re-
covered to undergo the' fatigues of so long.a jour•
ney. The weather here is yet fine for the season
of the 'year, but it is feared that rain will succeed
and render 'the roads very bad. His Majesty,
. •
it is • said, had yesterday a slight return of
pain, 'which prevented his dining with the
• 7 • • :f4
members of his august family.. His Majesty,
according to-the reports in the city, had invited
their Royal Highnesses the Dukes and Duchesses
of CuMberland and, Cambridge and their .chili.
dren, -the. Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, the. . ,
Dukes-of-Brunswick, &c.
His 'Majesty •resides in kii_apartineriti; where
none are alleiwed.,t4 enter, :.except the:inVmbers
of the Royal Family, and.-Ministers of State,
and the English attendants. The avenue lead!
mg from Herreuhausen -to the city seems de-
serted in comparison to the first days after his
. . Majesty's arrival. His, Majesty's continued ab,-
sence from
,the various exhibitions and amuse-
ments has rendered them -dull. The exact day
of his Majesty's departure cannot be known,
•
for it depends upon the state of..his Majesty's.
health. Monday has been fixed. upon, but none
can be certain. It is. intended to' proceed by
easy stages,- so as to be eleven days upon" the
road. On the first night the King is
,turest at
Rothenkirche, and the second in Minden. The,
route afterwards is to continue-through Coblenti,
Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, Liege, and,Brussels.
Prince Metternicharrived here on the• AOth, in.the.
evening, and on the following' day he was Pre-'
seated to his Majesty by Count Munster, the Ha-
noverian Minister for Foreign Affairs. The King,
it is reported, was not able to receive the Prince
otherwise than as an invaVd,. Seated in an easy
chair, With his leg stretched out on a couch.
The Hanoverian newspaper (a paper which is at
least demi-official) states that Prince: Metternich
haS come as being specially deputed by the. Em-
peror-of Austria to congratulate his Majesty on
his arrival in his Continental dominions. That
'May partly be the object of his .visit, but nobody
believes that this great diplomatic✓ character came
here for nothing more, particularly while one of
the Imperial family, Prince Ferdinand, is here,
deputed specially for that purpose. Prince Met-
ternich' and the Marquis of LOndOnderry visit
each other daily. Count Lieven has not yet
arrived, although the Countess came 'to Hanover
On Sunday. The protracted, absence Of the
Count, united with some of- the-late declarations
of Russia, gives cause of surmises.uufavourable4o
the. peace •of Europe. The toffee-house politi-
cians here think that it looks as if-Russia.was
determined to wage war with the Turks_witliout
the consent of Austria and of England. England,
they-say, will then wage war with "Russia,- and
they; look. forward to the occupation of Hanover
by the troops of •Prussia as a matter of course.
Mention this merely as the chit-chat of the place.
IVe have 'here many of the Diplomatists from the
German Courts, Mr. Rose fioni Berlin, and Mr.
Gordon from. Vienna, the Prussian" Minister,
Count Von llulow, the Duke of Nassau's Minis-
ter, Baron Von Marschall, Count Von Schlieffen,
besides those whose names have been before
stated. The Grand Duke ;of Saxe Weimar ar-
rived here yesterday. The Prince of Thurn and
Taxis, and Count Von Bernstoff, have left Ha-
nover.;- the latter is gone to Gartow. Couriers
set -out twice or thrice a week: to Paris. The
Landgrave of Hesse Homburg has arrived.,—Let-
ters are said to have been received here from Prince
Leopold of Saxe Coburg, stating, that his Royal
Highness was about to proceed to Italy • With
his mother, whose health has for some time past
been in a very precarious state. I have this mo-
ment inqiiirld after his Majesty'S health at the
Palace, and.have been informed that his.Majeitv
slept well during the night, and: that lie
hiniself 'quite well. The various members of the.
Royal Family are to-day to dine with his Majes-
ty„ and in the. evening there is to be a drawing-
room. His Majesty is not expected to leave the
Palace to=day.. . It_ is said, that in the evening, the
middle classes, or as they are called here, the
burghers, intend to give his Majesty a serenade
or torch music, similar to that which was before
given by the officers.—The parties which have
been given by the Duke of Cambridge have,
in some slight degree, enlivened the general
dullness. There was a party yesterday even-
ing, at the Duke of Cumberland's residence.--
En the morning there was an exhibition of the
King's stud of horses, which are very fine.—
The stables are superior to the-mews- in London.
The Artillery troops, after they had performed
various manoeuvres before Prince Ferdinand of
Austria, on. Saturday last, departed •to their win-
ter stations, The highest praisewas giVen to-
them by Prince Ferdinand, who is acknowledged
to tie'a good judge. The Duke of Cambridge
has returned public thanks in the name of the
King, to- ail the troops, and has also apressed
his:Majesty's regret, that indispositica prevented
fiiin from .witnessingtheir manoeuvres.
