meat of the true Protestant Religion, with the Government, Wor.
ship, Discipline, Rights, and Privileges of the Church of Scotland,
as established by the laws made there, in prosecution of the
Claim of Right, and particularly by an Act !tabula "An
Act for securing the Protestant Religion and Presbyterian
Church Government," and by the Acts passed in Parliaments of
both kingdoms for the union of the two kingdoms. So help me
GOD. (Signed) " Wit.t.rax It."

His present Majesty, it is now finally arranged, will
follow the corpse of the late King at the funeral as chief

Not only the Pavilion, but all the valuables of the late
King, have been left to his present Majesty. An an-
nuity of 6,0001. payable to a respected and excellent
lady, who, in early life, was the favoured companion of
the King, and who enjoyed till the last his esteem, as she
still does that of all who know ber, is, we hear, charged
upon the Pavilion —Brighton Gazette.

The heads of the Church are said to be in raptures at
his Majesty's gracious reception of them : so different to
what certain reports had led them to expect.

The birth-day of the King and Queen occurring within
eight days of each other—vi:. the 21st and 13th of Au-
gust—it is supposed that the keeping of one or both will
be altered, as in the case of Queen Charlotte, and the late
King, to suit the fashionable season, and promote the ad-
vantages of trade.

INDIA AFFAIRS.—In the House of Commons last
night, Mr. TRANT expressed his hope, that in the next
Session of Parliament, the Committee appointed to
take into consideration the affairs of the East India Com-
pany, would especially consider Indian affairs, with re-
ference to the interests of the natives of India. The sub-
ject to which he alluded, was the land revenue of what
were technically called the ceded and conquered provinces
under the government of Bengal. He was convinced
that a flagrant breach of faith bad been committed with
respect to the natives of India, as to the settlement of
their lands. It was a question of extreme importance,
and deserved the especial attention of the Committee on
East India Affairs.

The racing stud of the late King will be put up for

sunshine of Royalty, of which they have been so long de-

The Goldsmiths' Company convened an especial Court,
at their Hall, on Monday last, and came to the unani-
mous resolution to present a dutiful and loyal address of
condolence to his Majesty, on the demise of the late
King, and of congratulation on his present Majesty's
accession to the throne.
