COURT INTELLIGENCE.

Tate Kimi.—Sir Matthew Tierney left the Palace
about nine o'clock yesterday morning for London, and
returned about seven o'clock in the evening. Sir Henry
Hal ford remained in attendance on the King. His Majesty
enjoyed some sound sleep on Monday night, and passed
the best night he has had since the commencement of his
indisposition. The King appeared refreshed yesterday
morning, and conversed cheerfully with those around him.
At the King's Palace, St. James's, the bulletin was shown
by E►rl Warwick, as Lord, and Sir William Houston, as
Groom in Waiting.

WINDSOR, Tuesday Evening.

Yesterday evening the Marquis Wellesley called at the Castle, to
inquire after the health of the Ring.—Mr. Brodie left the Castle
this morning, at nine o'clock, and returned again this evening.—Sir
Matthew Tierney and the Bishop of Chichester left this morning,
and returned to the Castle to dinner.--Up to this time his Majesty
continues getting better, and he has this day taken more nourish-
ment than he has for some time put.—The Princesses have not
been to-day, neither were they expected.—His Majesty is anxious to
get to the Royal Lodge ; but should he continue to improve in health,
there is no probability of his being removed fora fortnight or three
weeks.

Prince Leopold arrived in town yesterday from his re-
sidence at Claremont. His Royal Highness paid a visit
to Prince Frederick of Prussia, at the residence of the
Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, in the King's Palace,
St. James's.

The Duke and Duchess of Cumberland, and Prince
Frederick of Prussia, came to town yesterday from Kew.
The Duchess visited Princess Esterhazy, at Chandos-
house ; the Princess is indisposed.
Prince Frederick honoured Sir George Rose with his !
company to dinner in the evening, at his residence in Old
Palace-yard.
The new Russian Minister visited the Earl of Aber-
deen yesterday, at the Foreign-office.
The Earl of Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel, Sir George
Murray, the Chancellor f the Exchequer, and the Judge
Advocate, had interviews with the Duke of Wellington
yesterday, at the Treasury.
This evening the Right Hon. Sir G. MURRAY gives a
grand dinner to the Cabinet Ministers, at his house in
Belg,rave-square.
The public are right in their conjectures that Prince
Frederick William Louis of Prussia is a candidate for the
crown of Greece, " resigned before 'twas wen," by an-
other Prince : but it is not so clear that success will
crown his wishes, though the thing is not impossible.—
His pretensions are advocated by France. The Opposi-
tion are not only sick of the ex-Sovereign of Greece, but
of the whole Greek business : they are perplexed and fa-
tigued by the want of uniformity of opinion in their own
body.
The Portuguese quarrel seems to be almost wearing it-
self out by mere duration or continuance, and therefore
the special mission of an Ambassador from Don Pedro to
Europe, is of itself not ill-timed. The new diplomat is
said to be the Marquis of Santo Amaro, and lie may be
daily expected at Brest, whither he is bound in the first
. instance. The evil attending these repeated special mis-
sions is, that they protract a negotiation which might be
more promptly settled at Rio. Whether by war or treaty,
however, it is greatly to be desired that the disputes be-
tween Brazil and Portugal, or rather between the Em-
peror of Brazil and his brother, should be effectively
terminated.

A private letter from Oporto mentions the death of the
Visconde de Varzea, the Governor of that city, and adds
that his death was so sudden as to give rise to the sus-
picion that he was poisoned. This rumour, the letter
states, was strengthened by the circumstance of its being
known that the Viscount was no favourite of the ad-
herents of Don Miguel.
Extract of a letter, dated Venice, June 4 :—" Mea-
sures are in progress to give every facility to the trade
of this port. By advice' from Vienna, the Emperor has
decreed that Venice shall be exempt from the consump-
tion or excise duty, towards payment of a certain sum
which the city takes to itself ; and therefore trade will be
free from every shackle, which in a small degree still
exists."

The measure brought forward on Tuesday night, in the
House of Commons, by the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
relative to a modification of the duties on sugars, appears
to meet with the decided disapproval of the great majority
of persons connected with the West India trade. At the
same time, scarcely two persona agree as to what the pro-
posed plan really is ; while a great number profess to be
quite unable to understand it. From the various versions
of it given in the Papers, the reporters were pretty much
in the same predicament, for no two reports appear to
agree. Under these circumstances, some persons have
come to the not very improbable conclusion that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer did not himself know what
, he meant.
