LONDON 'JOURNALS.

FROM THE MORNING rAillt,RS OF THIS DAY.

[Morning Chronicle]

It is a curious fact, that two Government-Mes•
sengers pa—ssed through Norwich, at an early hour
Tuesday morning last, with dispatches to Lord
Castlereagh and to. the Earl of Chatham, an-.
nouncing to them the death of his Royal High-
ness the Doke of Kent, at the same time that it
Conveyed to the latter his appointment as .Gover-
nor of Gibraltar, which tookplace but a few hours
after the news -arrived of the unexpectertvacanCy ;
and that in complete indifference to the retrench-
ment of an office which has, been proved to 'be
unnecessary, at least in time of peace. It was
known to Office that his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex was in Norwich at the time, brit
he was lett to collie at the knowledge of the-me-
lancholy event, so interesting to' his feelings asa
brother, by means of the public Newspapers

The reports respecting his Majesty's gradual.
and loci easing decay are most serious ; but of
course, as Bulletins are not daily published, which,
from a just attention to the anxiety of-his pe4le,
would no doubt take place if his lite were in im-
minent danger, th,e rumours are not to be de-
pended on. Our reader's are aware that on the
event of his Mjesty's demise, the two Nooses of
Parliament must meet the next day, even on S.tin-
day, if the melancholy event 'sbOuld occur on,a
Saturday.—(lLid.)

We understand that the Lords of the Treasury
have given directions to allow Mechanics, Atlificer, &c. to emigrate from Great Britain to any
country and in any,etilp.—(lbid.)

[Morning, Herald.]

THa KuNcr.--Nuthing further, in an authentic.
shape, has yet transpired with respect to the
health or our revered -Monarch ; and, as we re-
marked yesterday, there is every reason to believe
that the very serious alarm which has been telt on
this subject • is, to a considerable extent, un-
founded. Orders were 'given at Carlton House
yesterday, or every thing to be in constant readi-
ness for the departure of the Prince Regent to
Brighton ; and it is expected, by the Household,
that his Royal Highness will proceed thither to-
day. The Dike of York remained in town at- a
late hour yesterday-evening, and was not expected
to set out for Windsor Casi le before this morning.

[Morning Post.]

Tin KlNG.—file are -happy to bear that .his
Majesty's indisposition has taken a favourable
turn ; but he still remains weak and otherwise
unwell.

A GREAT MATRIMONIAL ALLIANCE.-The gene.
ral conversation at present in the fashionable
circles, is upon a
.very interest ing subject ; naively,
an approaching matrimonial alliance between a
Great Personage, nearly allied to one of the most
Illustrious nooses in Europe, and the daughter
of an ancient Scotch Doke:----(/bid.)
