COURT INTELLIGENCE.

Monsieur Zea Burmudes, the Spanish Minister, transacted
burins yesterday. at the Ake of the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs.
The Count Otton de Vttzthum, Chamberlain to the King
of Saxony, has left town for Brighton.
The Duke of Wellington left town on Thursday, for his
seat at Strathtieldsay.
Mr. Berries has left town, for his seat at Seven Oaks,
Kent.

Despatches were sent off on Thursday night from the Co-
lonial Office 9 for the Governor-General of the Canada, and also for
the Earl of Belmore, the Governer of Jamaica, and the other Go.
remora of the West India Islands.

His Majesty, in addition to his late splendid gift to the
Zoological Society of the Menagerie at Windsor, has also presented to
the Society the skin and skeleton of the celebrated giraffe, which wags..
great a favourite with the late King. It is now placed in the Museum.
in Bruton-street.

It is said that the King:will not permit any volunteers to
wear scarlet and gold, and that the dress of the Hon. Artillery Cam
party, of which he is Captain.Geneval, will be entirely changed pre.
vioudy to the Coronation.
The inconvenience experienced by the King and Queen
in crowds following and besetting them wherever they go, is one which
will soon cure itself. It arises in a great measure from the unfortunate,
and latterly, we believe, unavoidable seclusion of the late reign.
A report is in town of the death of the venerable Earl
Pitswilliant, at Milton, Peterborough. The death of Lord Langford
is also reported.
His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos has
been seriously ill, at his seat, Stowe House, near Buckingham ; his
Grace is a great sufferer occasionally from the gout, but this attack has
been of a different and alarming nature; we are happy to add that his
Once is much better..—Northumpfon Mercury.

Count Saint Pticst, the Ambassador at Madrid, have resigned in coo.
sequence of the change in the Government.—Paris Paper.

We have it from an authentic source, that on learning the
events which had occurred at Paris, the Emperor of Austria expressed
himself thus :—" I despise the Ministers who have driven Charles X.
from the throne by an infraction of the charter to which he had so-
lemnly sworn. The lint duty of an honest man, and particularly of a
sovereign, is to be faithtul to his word. lam sorry for the Duke of
Bordeaux, because he is innocent ; but in no ease wilt l nix myself

CONTEMPLATED REDUCTIONS.—The departments of
the Customs, Excise, and Stamps, are to be consolidated under one
Board—by this regulation a saving of 5,0001. a year will be made by
the reduction of six Commissioners, two from each Board. A con-

pendant on Great Britain—a saving will be effected by the proposed re.
duction of 200,0001. a year.
The United Service Club have thrown open their doors to
the Juniors while the latter's house is under repairs.
. .

Great astonishment has been expressed as to what became
'sll the thieves during the late commotion, in Paris. The ouly way
solving the difficulty is by supposing that they went off with the ex.
ing and his family, when they stole the crown diamonds.

The annual dividends of the Dutch East India Company,
for the six years ending with 1601, were 36 per cent. la 1606 they had
risen to 76 per cent, and in 1616 were 62j per cent.
A project is on foot for forming what is to be called a
Commercial Club, where men of business, in imitation of the idlers of
other classes, are to look for relaxation and comfort in selfish enjoy-
ment, rather than In the bosom of their own families.

A meeting took place yesterday morning at six o'clock,
neat White Conduit House, between W. D. Esq. and J. R. Esq.
both gentlemen belonging to the City ; when, after an exchange of
shots, the affair was amicably adjusW, owing to the interference of the
seconds.

The Virgin to whom the " pions and beloved" Ferdinand
had appointed himself man-milliner, is likely to catch cold in the en.

of State, to embroider her a petticoat,

GREAT MALVERN, SEPT. I.—Notwithstanding the US-
favourable state of the weather, the Duchess of Kent and the Princess

champ, Earl and Countess Somers, Lord and Lady Rumor, Lady Mar.

seoted to their Royal Highnesses by the Mayor and Corporation, to

Tux KING.—The following and regularly authenticated
anecdote ought not to remain buried in oblivion. A gentleman who
held a commission of First Lieutenant when his Majesty sailed
in the British Navy as midshipman, and Sir Richard Keats held
the same rank, became some years after by untowered events em-
barrassed in his circumstances. His Majesty meeting his old lieu.
tenant, then
.become captain, and seeing hint much dejected. in-
quired anxiously the cause, which was, after much hesitation,
communicated to him. He was deeply hurt at seeing an old ship.
mate in distress, and inquired if he had applied to a wealthy re.
lathe for his assistance ? The Captain told him he had, but
was refused, and upon hearing which he said, 4' I will solicit a
loan of him for you. This he did, and his Royal Highness was as un.
successful as his friend. Disappointed by the rich man's refusal. but
determined to carry his point, he sent the Captain an invitation to break.
fast, which being concluded, his Majesty withdrew front the apartment,
and did not return, but he sent by his secretary an apology to the Cap-
tain, and, in an envelop, a check upon his banker for 2.0001. which
amount it was subsequently discovered he had borrowed for the poi.
pose, having no money of his own then at command. The Captain,
delighted and surprised, hastened to discharge with this princely cos.
sideration the obligations incurred, and shortly waited upon his Royal
Highness with his most grateful acknowledgments, and a bond for the
advance. Upon the latter being given to his Majesty, he instantly de.
strayed it, saying, " I cannot hold this instrument, George; for I in.
tended this check as a present to your wife and children."
