PASHIO'NABLE AND MISCELLA.NEOVS.

BRIGHTON, JAN. 30.—The KING'S health con-
tinues good ; and we have the pleasure to state, that his
spirits are improving. For the first time since his
MAJESTY'S arrival, the Royal Band were employed
in the Concert Room last night ; and they have orders
to be in attendance this evening.
There are no additions to the Royal Suite since the
arrival of Lord and Lady Strathaven last night.
The weather to-day has been, comparatively, fa-;
vourable. The Duchess of Gloucester, with Lady
Isabella Thymic, not only walked to the Chain Pier,
and made ornamental purchases of fancy articles at the
Saloon there, but, returning to the Palace, her Royal
Highness then ascended her carriage, and visited
Kemp-town ; thence, in the opposite direction, passed
the whole frontier of the place to Hove ; and lastly
alighted at the Palace at half-past three o'clock.
Mr. Secretary Canning is gradually recovering his
health—to whom, and Earl Bathurst, Messengers are
frequently arriving and departing.
Among the many who have left their names at the
Palace to-day are—Lord and Lady Audley, Sir C. Lamb and
Lady Montgomery, Lady Ann Becket, Captain and Lady E. Field-
ing, Lieut.-General Sir R. Jones (from Worthing), Admiral Sir
John Wells (from Bolmore, near Cuekfield), Mrs. and Miss Bar-
rington Price, Lieut.-General Coglau, and Mr. Macduff Baxter,
Attorney-General, New South Wales.

The KING, report says, will himself occupy the
Palace in the Park, built for the late illustrious Commander-in-
Chief, until Buckingham House is finished.

The outline of a magnificent Picture for the Saloon
of Windsor Castle, is nearly completed. It represents his MA-
JESTY, reviewing the most celebrated British regiments, in the
late Continental war, in the Park, with the Castle in the back
ground. All the Commanding Officers are Portraits. We have
reason to believe that the Marquis of Anglesea gave the idea for
this admirable sketch.

LEWES, JAN. 31.—The Duke of Wellington is ar-
rived on a shooting excursion at Maresfield Park, the scat of Sir
John Shelley, Bart., to whom his Grace usually makes a visit in
the course of the season. Prince Esterhazy and several other
Noblemen are also at Sir John's seat ; and both the Prince and
Duke are expected to be present at a County Ball, which is to
take place here. The Noble sportsmen have bagged a large quan-
tity of gains.

TIIE DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE.—The Duke of
Devonshire, in consequence of the unexpected change in political
events, has been deprived of his guy visitants. We mean the
Foreign Corps Diplomatiqus ; for they, it is positively stated,
have received instructions from their several Courts, not to be
more than half a day's journey from town.—His Grace has, there-
fore, deferred his splendid doings until after the next Meeting of
Parliament, when they will take place in London.

There is no truth in the report of the riches of
Prince Talleyrand. We know that his fine gallery of cabinet
pictures (said to be among the finest in Europe) were consigned
to an agent in Pall-mall, and sold privately. Mr. Alexander
Baring, we believe, has no less than twenty-five of them.

The Lords of the Admiralty have received des-
patches from Lisbon of the 19th ult., about which time Marshal
Beresford was expected to leave Lisbon, on his return to England.

Mr. Justice Holroyd was not on the Bench yester,
day. The Learned Judge continues unable to attend the Court.

On Tuesday the Lords of his Majesty's most Hon.
Privy Council assembled at the Counsel-office, in Whitehall-place,
to hear Plantation Appeals. The Lords present were—the Judges
of the Arches' Court, the Lord Chief Baron, and Mr. Elliot.
Their Lordships sat from 10 o'clock till half-past three.

The rumours of a change in the Ministry, which
are, as we have before stated, totally unfounded, have a mischie-
vous object in view : they are propagated by a certain anti-
Liberal party, in order to imply a breach in the general union of
opinion and congeniality of sentiment which actually exist on the
present situation of the country. They may, however, receive
some appearance of probability, if the health of Lord Westmor-
land's youngest daughter should unfortunately oblige his Lordship
to convey her to the milder climate of Italy. But Lord West-
morland is only one person, in an inferior post : his secession,
should it take place from the cause just intimated, cannot, there-
fore, be considered as constituting a change in the Ministry.—
Times.

Yesterday the General Committee of the National
Society for the Education of the Poor in the Principles of the
Established Church, held a Meeting at the Vestry-room of St.
Martin's-in-the-Fields ; present—his Grace the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Lord Bishops of London and Exeter, and other
members. Seven grants of money were voted, from 40/. to 1801.

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East India House, when the following Captains took leave of the
Court previous to departing for their respective destinations, via.
---Captain Samuel Sark, Inglis ; Captain Ambrose Frederick
Proctor, Windsor, for Bengal and China; and Captain John
Peter Wilson, Irythe, for Bombay and China.

Oatlands, the residence of Ap. and Mrs. Ball
Hughes, has this winter suffered severely. The indications of dis-
solution are rapid, from the dry rot. The interior is more mag-
nificently furnished than almost any mansion in the kingdom.

The New Bridge across the Serpentine River is ex-
pected to be finished by the time the summer promenade commences.

Yesterday morning a private of the Royal Marines,
now in Woolwich barracks, received 300 lashes on the parade,
pursuant to the sentence of a Court-martial, for robbing and ill-
treating a young woman with whom he was on terms of intimacy.

In one of the New York Papers last received, we
perceive a posthumous poem, by Tom Paine, entitled The Reli-
gion of the Sun, announced for publication.

It is said, that a new singer of great talent, Madame
Briezi, is engaged for the King's Theatre.

There has been some talk for several clays past of
engaging Madame Vestris for the King's Theatre, but it is for
six performances only. Covent-garden is said to have opposed it
very keenly. Madame Vestris is to make her debut next Sattir-
dayin the Gazza _Ladra.—Furet.

Miss Ayton, who has been engaged at the King's
Theatre, is a pupil of Signor Liverati, and has appeared with
great success on some of the continental theatres. Mr. Ebera has
also concluded an engagement for a limited number of nights with
Madame Vestris, who is to appear shortly.—Le Furet.

DR. FELLOWES.—The following paragraph, which
first appeared in the Literary Gazette, has gone the round of
the Papers :—" Dr. Fellowes has made a very princely gift to
the London University—as much ground in the Regent's Park as
the Council may deem requisite for a complete botanic
garden."
This statement is wholly inaccurate. Dr. Fellow's has no land
in the Regent's Park, which is all Crown land. He has made
no gift of land to the London University. It is true, he enter-
tains an intention, which he had mentioned to some private
friends, to give, as soon as the University is established, some
land elsewhere, for the purpose of a botanic garden ; but he has
made no communication of such intention to the Council."__
Evening Paper.

THE LATE ELOPEMENT IN PARIL-Expecta-
*ion is on tip-toe in the circles at the Wrest end, to ascertain who
are the parties in the recent elopement from Paris, of which a
very brief and indistinct notice has appeared in the papers. The
lady is the Baroness IL, (laughter of Lord C., who has long
taken an active part in Irish politics; his Lordship being what is
called a thorough reformer, and, among the country people, in
the immediate ♦icinity of his residence near Dublin, he is gene-
rally denominated " The poor man's Magistrate." The Baron E.
has considerable property in Ireland, and he and his Lady, until
a short time hack, resided in Dublin, and moved in the highest
circles there. It is remarkable that the mother of the frail on•
should have been guilty of a simil,c forfeiture of her matrimonial
vows, as she eloped with Sir J. P., against whom Lord C. ob-
tained damages of 20,0001., which were, however, ne►er paid,
as Sir John left his country, and died in exile. It is a farther
curious coincidence, that in the two most recent elopements in
high life, which have taken place in Ireland, the fair fugitives
might have pleaded maternal example, as a palliation of the of-
fence. The other ease alluded to is, that of Mrs. M—e with
the Hon. Colonel F—b—n, brother to an Irish Earl ; in this
latter inotanoe, however, the parties have been since married.

SAVANNAH, DEC. 27—CorTox.—In Uplands some business;
has been done ; hnt the market has not been animated. We do
not know that there has been any variation from the prices of hat
week. The sales have been made from 9to 10 rents, but prin-
cipally at 9+, and very prime will bring 101. Sea Islands have
been in good demand during the week, at from IS to 24 eente ;
very fine lots at 26 ; and a sale has been made at considerably
above that.

SIWCATORE, Ana. 31.—The Honourable East India Com-
pany's ship Orwell, Captain Frazer, from England, sailed on the
Ist May, has arrived here since our last, we understand that
a mutiny broke out on board of her during the passage, which
appeared to have been previously concerted amongst a party of the
crew, 23 in number ; it was, however, opportnnely put a stop to, - -
five of the ringleaders being seized and punished severely, three of .
the most refractory of them were subsequently put in irons, but
on the ship's entering the straits of Sunda, two of them broke loose
during the night and jumped overboard. The life baoye had been
eut away from the stern, and the unfortunate men were heart '
hailing the ship several times; the darkness of the night, how-
ever, precluded all possibility of saving them, and it is mord than
probable that they met with a lingering death, as the strong ctir, '
rent in the strait would soon have carried them out into the ocean.

Cowes, JAN. 31.--Arrived the Greenock, of Leith, Miller,
left Batavia, on the 10th of August, Sincapore, per orders, 15th
September, off Angier 11th October, Cape of Good Hope 3d

she brings the following intelligence from Batavia :—A .skirmish
had taken place at Saolo, to the eastward of Batavia, between the
Dutch and insurgent troops, commanded by Djupo Megore, in
which the former were completely defeated. A native prince in
the Dutch service, was taken prisoner, and notwithstanding a
lugs sum was offered for his ransom, Djupo Magoro had caused
him to be put to death immediately. The Dutch were losing
ground daily fur want of troops. The merchants were all
under arms, and the troops from Borneo and Sumatra, were re-
velled, and on their arrival at Batavia were dying fast.

" The Lieutenant-General commanding is very desirous, before

Of Lisbon I cannot say much more than that I see little or no
improvement since I was here 14 years ago. If any thing, the
streets are more filthy. The situation of the town, however, when

viewed from the river, is beautiful, and the climate is `delightful.
