THE DUKE AND MR. HUSKISSON.

We hear, from an authority, upon which we can place
reliance, that the statement of Mr. HUSKISSON having
signified a wish to come into office, without being parti-
cular as to the terms, is totally unfounded. Mr.
ISSON has not made any intimation which could warrant
such an assumption ; and the state of his health is such,
that nothing but the most positive conviction that his
services in the Ministry would be of value to the country
could induce him again to accept office. During the last
few months of his official duties the injury inflicted upon
his constitution was so great, as to induce his medical
advisers to assure him that recovery was hopelessu nless
he allowed himself repose ; and we know that within the
last few days, the members of his family, alarmed at the
report that he was again coming into office, have intreated
him not to risk his health by such a proceeding. That
offers have been made to him indirectly is certain, but it
is not true that he has offered to abandon his late col-
leagues. As to direct offers, none have been made—and
Mr. Husxissoli will listen to no others,Sunday
Times. _ _

_
Mu. Htisx Issox.—The negociations for this gentle-
man's joining the Cabinet are still going on, and the
rumour gains ground that such an event will certainly
take place, but we have not, as yet, any information on
which we can implicitly rely. If he should be admitted
again to office, however, two things muct occur; PEEL
must resign his leadership, and HUSKIBBON abandon the
further advocacy of his obnoxious principles. Next week
we hope to be able to say more on the subject.—Sunday
Paper.

A letter from Boulogne of the 18th Oct. states, that
25 Englishmen, with some citizens of that town, pro-
ceeded on a hunting excursion, and did considerable
damage to the surrounding country. The affair is going
to be sent to a Court of Justice.

Dr. How RING lately passed through Hamburg on his
way to Copenhagen, where he is at present occupied in
the collection of materials for a Danish Anthology. Dr.
Bow ni wG has already been so successful in his endea-
vours to make his countrymen acquainted with the native
poetry of 'Russia, Batavia, and Hungary, that we cannot
but look with interest to the probability of seeing a new
mine opened by so able a hand.---Hamburg Reporter,

ANECDOTE OF MURAT.—sarea LAILRET told the
Academy of Sciences that MURAT was one day giving
the word of command, when a ball struck his throat and
penetrated as far as the larynx. At the end of a few
minutes, and after some violent efforts, he spit it out, and
was cured within a fortnight.

THE KING.
•
Witi molt, Nov. l.—This forenoon the KING, at-
tended by the Duke of CUMBERLAND, the LORD
STEW A RD, Sit HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir ANDREW BAR-
N A RD, and Sir FREDERICK WATSON, proceeded from
the Royal Lodge to the new Chapel Royal, where Di-
vine Service was performed in their presence by the Rev.
Mr. SEYMOUR. Friday afternoon Sir H. TAYLOR
arrived at the Royal Lodge, on a visit to his MAJESTY.
Yesterday, at nine o'clock in the forenoon, the Duke of
CUMBERLAND arrived at the Royal Lodge and break-
fasted with his MAJESTY. After breakfast his Royal
Highness had recourse to his favourite amusement—
the sports of the field. Mr. TURNER, the head
game-keeper, being in waiting, attended his Royal
Highness ; and, confining themselves within the boun-
dary of the Great Park, chiefly in the environs of
Sandpit-gate, where in general there. is a great quan-
tity of game, owing, no doubt, to the natural protec-
tion afforded them in that quarter, from the quantity
of detached brushwood, fern, &c. his Royal Highness
had excellent sport, bagging several brace of pheasants,
and a brace of hares, in the short interval of two hours
and a half. His Royal Highness returned to the Royal
Lodge at one o'clock, and, after partaking of some
slight refreshment, accompanied by the KING in his
pony phaeton, followed by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, Sir
ANDREW BARNARD, and Sir FREDERIC WATSON in
the double-bodied phaeton, which in general is drawn
by four ponies, and driven by two postillions in Royal
livery,sattended by the regular retinue of outriders. His
MAJESTY, on leaving the Royal Lodge, drove through
the new plantations; Chapel Wood, and by the obelisk to
Virginia Water,, in the environs of which his MAJESTY
took several delightful and rural drives, returning to the
Royal Lodge at half-past four o'clock, and at seven
o'clock honoured his visitors and distinguished attendants
with' his company to dinner. This day, after divine
service, the Duke of CUMBERLAND left the Royal
Lodge, on his return to his residence at Kew. Sir HER-
BERT TAYLOR Still continues his visit to his MAJESTY.
