The splendid equipage proceeded at a slow pace through Windsor,

bearing to the right by one of the rides, near Queen Ann's Ride,
leaving the Park by Duke's Lane gate, and entering the bottom
of the One.mile Course, which leads up to the Royal Stand.
Their itiajesties, both in passing and returning from the Course,
were greeted with the most deafening shouts from the populace
ladies were waving their handkerchiefs from the carriages and in every
other direction, all appearing truly gratified by obtaining a sight of
their new and highly popular Sovereign and his royal consort. Their
➢lajesties seemed much delighted by the loyal salutation, and returned
the same in a very courteous manner.

The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland gave a grand
dcjeune to their Majesties, on Monday, at their residence at Kew. About
one o'clock the King and Queen surly(%) at Kew, in a carriage-and-four,

their arrival. About the same time the Duke of Sussex, the Landgra-
vine of Hesse Homburg, the Duke and Prince George of Cambridge,
the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, the Duke of Gloceeter, and
Prince Auguste of Prussia, arrived at the residence of the Duke and
Duchess.

Their Majesties and the Royal party went to the old Pa
lace, over which they were conducted by the clerk of the works. The
entire party then proceeded to the house on Kew-green, purchased by
his late Majesty of Mr. Hunter, which has recently been given by the
present King to the Duke of Cumberland. After inspecting the house
and grounds attached to it, their Majesties returned to the residence of
the Duke and Duchess of Cumberland. About three o'clock an elegant
dejcune was served in the dining-room ; the King sat at the head of the
table, having to his right the Landgravine of Hesse Homburg, and on
.his left the Duchess of Cumberland. In addition to the members of the
Royal Family, there were present the Prussian Minister and Baroness Bu-
low, the Duchess of Richmond, Count WaldenLurg, and Count Radowitz.
—After the dejeune, the King, Queen, and sonic of the party took an
airing in three pony phaetons, in the Royal Gardens, and subsequently
visited the Botanical Garden?, over which they were conducted by Mr.
A iton, the King's gardener. At half past five o'clock the King and
Queen left in an open carriage and four, on their return to the Palace at
Windsor. A royal salute was fired on the departure of their Majesties.
The Duke of Cambridge left town yesterday morning, on
a visit to their Majesties at the Palace at Windsor.
Prince Auguste of Prussia was present at the large dinner
party given by the Duke of Wellington, at Apaley-house, on Monday
evening.
On Saturday a scene of festivity and rejoicing, in honour
of the King's birth-day, took place at Ampthill. J. 11. Fisher, Esq.
with feelings of loyalty worthy of tat Er.glish gentleman, caused a series',
of rejoicings of the most splendid description, to the enjoyment of which,
all classes were generously invited. An assemblage of fashionables were
invited as guests to the house of Mr. Fisher, amongst whom were many
of the most respectable families of the town and neighbourhood.
The Royal Academy of Music has re-opened, under a
Royal Charter granted by his late MAJESTY; and his present MA.

Patron of the institution, and her Majesty the QUEEN, the Patroness.
The unfortunate Ex-King of France and his family
landed at Poole, in Dorsetshire, on Monday afternoon, and after a short
stay proceeded to Lulworth Castle, where they are for the present to
reside.—Post.

Monday se'nnight as the Duchess of Wellington was on
her way from Bagsbot to Strathficldsay, the horse rode by the leading
post-boy began to kick, and, falling, threw the rider over his head ; and
the other boy being unable to stop the horses in time, the carriage went
over his body, and so injured him that he died in the course of a few hours.
Talleyrand (says Le Voleur) exclaimed, on taking the
oath—" This is the thirteenth ! Pray GOD it be the last!"
The Earl of Enniskillen has so far recovered front his late
indisposition as to be able to return to I'lorence•court. The Hon. A.
Cole has also arrived there.

CHELTENHAM, AUG. 23.—Saturday being the anniver-
sary of the King's birth-day, was characterised by every demonstration
of rejoicing which loyalty could suggest. The Princess Esterhazy and
her two daughters, the Princesses alaria and Rosa, arrived here last
night. They have taken up their residence in Montpellier Parade, ;Hid
drink the waters at the Montpellier Spa.
EXETER, A uG. 23.—The birth-day of our gracious So-
vereign, on Saturday last, was observed in this city with peculiar de-
monstrations of loyalty and esteem, though, in consequence of its being
the first since his Majesty ascended the Throne, and the distinguished
place he holds in the hearts of his subjects, no testimony of rejoicing
could be too great for the nation to display. 3lerry peals issued
from the Cathedral and parochial bells at a very early hour in
the morning ; and the discharge of cannon from Fort Barbican,
at frequent intervals throughout the day, announced that its owner,
S. Mortimer, Esq. is never unmindful of an Englishman's duty
towards a patriotic and juuly-popular monarch. A great
number of the inhabitants, desirous, also, of proving their
attachment, decorated the fronts of their houses with evergreens ; our
ancient flags floated from the church towers which usually bear them I
on public occasions ; and some of the banners belonging to the in-
, corporated bodies were hoisted at different other places in the city.
The front of the Alfred Printing Office in Theatre-street, (Mr. Cullum
having been appointed Printer, &c. to their Illajesties,) presented a
tasteful and elegant illumination, consisting of a large crown,
formed with variegated lamps, surmounted by a transparent coat of
arms of the King and Queen ' • to the right, a transparent painting
of a British sailor, having the motto, " The King, God bless him,
and the British Navy ;" to the left of the Crown, a Soldier, and the
motto, "Queen Adelaide and the Army of England." An arch
of laurel thrown over the whole, and reaching to the foot of the transpa-
rent figures on either aide, gave it a most pleasing effect, and attracted a
vast concourse of persons, during the night, to view it. Our Guildhall,
whose time-worn and dingy exterior always assumes an air of cheerful.
ness when considerations of loyalty demand it, was illuminated in the
accustomed way, and from its projecting hunt becomes, on those occa-
sions, an object of remark, if not of admiration, the motto "snapt.
jidelis" rendering it venerable and respected. 'The Devon and Exe-
ter Royal Public Rooms were also brilliantly illuminated by Mr.
Congdon, the spirited proprietor. Up to a late hour the guns at
Fort Barbican were kept in requisition, and fire-works were
partially let off, in honour of the day. Unfortunately for the inha-
bitants of Exeter, they are deficient of those facilities which impart that
due importance to the commemoration of great events so fully enjoyed
by seaport towns and large military depots, where heavy cannon from
our ponderous and.tnajestic wooden bulwarks, and surrounding forts,
with the feu &joie from congregated regiments of the line, attract the
eye and allure the senses of the people • but we hope that Exeter will
ever show itself among the first, if not the greatest, to celebrate this and
similar joyous events, while England has the happiness to boast a
King and Queen, entitled, like William the Fourth, and his Royal
Consort, Adelaide, to their most affectionate regard.—The Alfred.
BATH, AUG. 22.—1 t was at one time mentioned that the
ex-King of France would take up his residence at Prior Park House,
and, from the beauty of its situation, and the many advantages it pre.
seated, the report bad a great air of probability. Prior Park House is
about two miles from Bath, and is near the summit of the amphitheatre
of bills surrounding that fashionable city. It was purchased not long
since by the Roman Catholic interest, in order that it might be converted
into a sort of Catholic College, for which it is well adapted. The ex.
Archbishop of Rheima, it is said, went thither almost immediately on his
retreat froasFnusce,and it was thought likely that Charles the Tenth would
be by no means displeased at having an opportunity of indulging in spiri-
tual consolations there without difficulty or interruption. Should the
ex-King take up his abode at Lulworth Castle, which seems now to be
decided upon, it is thought very probable that be will occasionally vi.
sit Prior Park House. Lulworth Castle was, it is said, formerly the
property of Mr. (now Sir Robert) Peel, and hence has arisen the mis-
taken i that the Government have been concerned la the appropria-
tion of this residence. The fact is, however, that Sir Robert was merely
• tsmposary occupant, and has no popery in it.
