When the Senati and Legislature of Franc* had se•
called this long-persecuted Monarch, he isas.d•through
London on his way to Paris. His entry into the British
metropolis on -the 20th of Aptil, 1814, was like a
triumph. The Prince Regent went 'to Stanmose to '
meet him, from which place they were to proceed in
state. When his Majesty had got within a short dis-
tance of the village, the populace took the horses from
his carriage, and drew him into the town. The Prince.
received the exiled Monarch at the door of the inn, ac-
cording to the French custom, by affectionately em-
brachlg him. They then rode together in the state-car-
riage to town, where an immense concourse of spectators
of all raelo bad assembled to view this interesting pro.
cessioq. On the 23.1, the King left town for Dover;
and the Prince Regent, who had set off from London
two hours before him, dined with him in the evei.i..g
on board his yacht. The next day he proceedel 1.1
triumph to his capital, after an exile of 23 years.

SPORTING IN I'ELLIGRNCE.
, ST. FILLAN'S HIGHLAND SOCIETY.
This S..lrty, which was instituted by Lord Gwydyr, for the pur-
pose of perpetuating and encouraging the peculiar and favourite
amusements of the Highlanders, held their Fifth Annual Meeting
on tlie.3lst nit. The Society assembled about eleven o'clock, in
their liall, a neat building in the village of St. Fillan's, situated at
the foot of Loch Earn, from whence they proceeded along a cir-
cuitous road to the field fitted up for the sports of the day; each
Clan fully attired in their respective garbs, headed by their leaders
and pipers, with the Chieftain or Preses in front. T number in
this procession was from 400 tp 500, and, ashen shading through
the hilk„had a most imposing erect. When they arrived on the
,ground, the Society formed around the stage _fitted up lot the va-
rious exhibitions, and, after a 'hat address from the Chieftain, in
which be complimented them on their appearance and regularity,
they. were dismissed for the present, and the competitions tom. •
menced. 'fhe first *as that of the pipers. About a dozen of candi-
dates•appeared for the prizes held out to them. Then followed
the athletic exercises of the putting stone—the sledge hammer.—
turning the haiTriiincing of Scotch reels-41m sword dance—firing.
at the target with the common and rile gun—and, last of all, a foot
race. In all these exercises, much skill and great strength an* agi.
My were displayed. In particular, the music and dancing was ex-
cellent, and the strength shewn in throwing the putting-stone and -
the hammer, extraordinary. The firing at the target, too, which
was placed at the distance of 11.:0 yards, was remarkably good; tot
more than three of the many competitors, having missed it, though
.all-shot off hand. During the interval between the dancing and
'shooting, laird and Lady Gwydyr entertained the Society in ia
large tent erected for the occasion to which many of the strangers
were kindly invited, and most hospitably treated. While the firing
was going on, it deserves to be noticed, that four of Lady Gwydyr's
party appeared on the boards, fully attired in the Highland garb,
and danced the reel of 1, Hulihan "in grand style. These various
competitions continued till about six o'clock, when the SocietY,
formed again,and returned to their Hall, in the same regular order,
preceded by the successful pipers, where they dined, and spent the
evening in the most social manner. This Society has excited much
interest in the Highlands, and deservedly so. It gives the poorest
of .the poor.sn.opportunity of meeting and passing a day With his
Chieftain, and of recounting the adventures of olden times—the
delight of a Highlander. As nearly as could beguessed, the number
present would be about 7,000 or 8,000, and a more gay and respect.
able assemblage of beauty and fashion is ieldlint to be seen. In
short, it is impossible, in the limits of a paragraph, to give anything
like an adequate description of it.
BoXIIRS.--3RM BURNS AND JACK MARTIN.
• The last depoiit of £lOO a-side in this matelr, was- made last
night, afteee sporting dinner at the Rising Sun, in Windmill-street.
The company was highly respectable, and the evening was spent in
the greatest harmony. Both men are well. The odds in favour of
Martin five so four. In all probabilky the fight will sake place at
Doncaster. It is said that &nehmen, and Jones, the sailor boy,
will fight In the same ring. Some betting took place ow the fight
between 'hilt Hodson and Cannon—Ave to four on Josh.
Reynolds has been.challenged by Duane, the Irish pugilist, but
says they are irtaaparable friends, and cannot account fee it ; yet he
will oblige him, if he is in earnest. Tom pechiticatly concludes a
letter thus t—i' I am ready to fight any man of tny weight for 4150
or more a-side; and this challenge shall be open for a month. At
the termination of that period I shall retire from the ring, for it is
time to leave off trade when I cannot get any customers; but if I
fail among my own weights, I am willing to have a turn with the
big ones against time, and will fight any man in the world, of any
weight, for the above stake."
