BeLGIANs.—DOVEII, JULY 18.—Yesterday the presence of Pos
Excellency M. Van de Weyer at the York Hotel announced tit,
early arrival of their Majesties, which was at first fixed for
past five, but the arrival of a train at that hour brought,'-,
telligence that the royal train would not leave London until f.
o'clock, and that the King and Queen would not arrive until ha`,
past six, some time previous to which hour his Excellency's clo
riage, with four horses, from the York Hotel, was in rcadin,oo
to convey their Majesties on board the Princess Alice, C3P'.4
Smithett, which was speedily done, and the vessel left the
at a quarter to seven o'clock, but owing to the delay consequit'bo
on sailing from the Government yard, the vessel did not leave of
harbour till twenty-five minutes to eight o'clock. A gut_AZtof
honour from the 68th Regiment, under the command of 047,0
Hugh, was in attendance. The Belgian Ambassador, Colnyd,
Jones (the Belgian Consul), and Sir J. Hamilton, were in Atte°
ante to escort the royal party on board.
