His Majesty has determinetl to prorogue this Session
of Parliament in person. This day week is the day when
it is expected it will take place.
The King is expected in town this day, for the pur-
pose of holding a Council.
l'rince George of Cumberland will accompany the King
throughout the solemn ceremony of following the remains
of his late Majesty to the tomb.
Yesterday, at three o'clock, a Cabinet Council was
held at the Foreign-office, which was attended by the
Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Ba-
thurst, Roslyn, and Aberdeen, Viscount Melville, Lord
Ellenborough, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George Alurray, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Mr. Herries.
The Council broke up about four o'clock.
Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and Mr. Horries, visited the Duke of,

Wellington yesterday.
The Prussian and Spanish Ministers transacted busi-
ness yesterday with the Earl of Aberdeen, at the office
of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
Lord Beresford left town on Saturday for the Con-

tinent. •
The Marquis of Camden left town on Saturday for the
Isle of Wight.
We hear from undoubted authority that His Majesty
made no will, and the whole of his immense wealth and
effects will therefore either vest absolutely in his succes-
4or, or be enjoyed by his present Majesty as the pro-
perty of the Crown.— Times.
Sir George Nayler has devoted the most unremitting
attention to the numerous applications for admissions to
the funeral of his late Majesty, and the officers of the
Earl Marshal's department have been making the great-
est exe•tions to afford every facility and accommodation
that the nature of the chapel will admit, but the limits
are so confined, compared with the demand for places,
that it will be impossible to gratify all the applicants.
His Majesty is about to establish a new Windsor
uniform, to be worn by the visitors of the Castle, who
will not be expected to appear there in regimentals or
Court dresses.

The Kinr, it is understood, will visit Portsmouth on
the Ist of August.
The King, we are happy to hear, has set his face
against the dirty Jewish practice of wearing mustachios.
Apartments have been taken, some days past, for Prince
Paul of Wirtemberg and suite, at the Clarendon Hotel,
Bond-street. His Royal Highness is expected to arrive
from Dover this day.
Mr. George Mundy, son of General Mundy, has been
appointed Page of Honour to the Queen.
The present King is (though the fourth King William
of England) the first English King of his name ; Wil-
liam I. and 11. being Normans, and William 111. a
Dutchman. _ _

We learn with much pleasure that the highly-respected
nobleman, the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe, is to be created
a Marquis. The Noble Lord and his family have long
been honoured with the distinguished friendship of his
Majesty. The Countess of Brownlow, the Earl's daugh-
ter, has been appointed one of the Queen's Ladies of the
Bedchamber.—Plymouth Herald.
It is now mentioned that the prorogation (or dissolu-
tion) of Parliament will not take place till Friday week,
owing to the delay occasioned by the East Retford Bill ;
and it is added that his Majesty will is person, and not
by Commission, as was at first contemplated, take leave
of the Parliament. Orders were yesterday at the House
of Lords to make preparations accordingly ; and when
the Lords are not assembled the workmen are proceeding
with the requisite preparations and renovations.
Ihe Lords have examined witnesses for and against
the East Retford Bill during the afternoons and evenings
of twenty-three days of the present Session, besides the
time consumed in hearing Counsel pro and con ; they
have examined one hundred and twenty witnesses in sup-
of the Bill, and thirty witnesses in opposition : the evi-
dence adduced by the said -one hundred and fifty wit-
nesses occupying nearly one thousand folio printed pages
—and almost all' the said witnesses having been sup-
ported at the public expense, by orders from a Committee
of Lords on the Treasury !
With that affability and condescension for which the
whole of his family has ever been distinguished, his Ma-
jesty, on addressing one of his dinner guests, on Friday
last, was pleased to observe " though we shall be some-
what farther apart, if you will come and see me at Wind-
sor, I dare say we shall be able to find you a bed in the
Castle." This settles the doubtful point of the King's
intention of making it his residence, from the circum-
stance of his having been heard to declare, just prior to
the demise of the Crown, that he should have the Palace
at Hampton Court fitted up for such purposes.—Herald.
The following was the order for general mourning on
the death of Queen Anne, which occurred in August

1714 :—" It is expected that all persons upon the pre-
sent occasion of the death of her late Majesty, of blessed
memory, do put themselves into the deepest mourning
(long cloaks excepted). The said mourning to begin
upon Tuesday, the 15th instant (August). And that as
well all lords, privy councillors and officers of her Ma-
jesty's household, do cover their coaches, chariots, and
chairs, and clothe their livery servants with black cloth
by Sunday, the 22nd inst. And that no person whatso-
ever, for the first six months, put any escocheons of
arms, or arms painted on their coaches, nor use any
varnished or bullion nails to be seen on their coaches,

chariots, or chairs ! "
It is said that Lord Lansdowne is to succeed Sir R.
Peel, who is to be Chancellor of the Exchequer, vice Mr.
Goulburn ! Mr. Huskisson to succeed Mr. Hanes;
and Lard Palmerston to resume his situation at the War
Office.

The King has nominated three militia officers as his
Aids-de-Camps, one from the militia of each kingdom.
Col. Wood, of the East Middlesex regiment, who mar-
ried a sister of the late Marquis of Londonderry, and is
member for Breconshire, has been selected for this die
tinguisbed honour from the English constitutional force,
but the names of the other two, from the Irish and Scotch
bodies, have not yet transpired.
The dissolution of Parliament may not perhaps be the
signal for the dissolution of the Ministry ;—but one
measure is only the forerunner of the other. The meet-
ing of the new Pediment it is said will be held In
October, but before that time, no doubt can exist that the
feelings of the country will be so* abundantly expressed,
that no administration, however powerful, can bear up
against it. And an administration so weak as the pre-
sent, which avowedly exists upon the breath of one man,
and that man an unpopular man, and by no means a
favourite at Court, can have little hope.—Chelt. Jour.l
