TOUR OF THE GRAND DUKE 1111CHAEL.

The Grand Duke MICHAEL found Matlock so de-
lightful that he was unwilling to quit it; he there-
fore dispatched a courier to Chatsworth, postponing
his intention of visiting it on Friday. On Saturday,
at two o'clock, P.m, his Imperial Highness arrived'at
the Park entrance, where he was met by the Steward,
Park-keepers, Game-keepers and Grooms, all mounted
on very fine horses. The Duke and suite rode up to
thenorth front, and ascended the flight of steps which
led into the great quadrangle, and thence into the
painted hall. After inspecting he rooms, he and his
party sat down to dinner at six o'clock. The Rev.
RICHARD SMITH was the representative of the Noble
Host. About half-past seven the Grand Duke rose,
and proceeded to the west front of the Mansion, where
the Duke of DEvowsistaes landau and horses waited.
The party proceeded therein to view the park and
grounds; they returned at nine o'clock. At this period
the Grand Duke desired to see the tree which his
brother NICHOLAS planted about a year and a half
since. After viewing it for some time, and admiring
its flourishing state, his Highness expressed a wish to
leave a similar memorial behind him. A similar pro-
duction was quickly brought forth, and placed in the
ground by the Duke's own hands, on the lawn to the
left ; the one planted by the Grand Duke NICHOLAS
being on ,the nght. His Highness filled in the earth,
as the gardener expressed himself, in a workman-
like manner, and then, apparently much delighted,
took his leave of that hospitable mansion, and pro-
ceeded on ward to Castleton to view the famous cavern
so well known.

CA S r LETO N, JULY 27.—The Grand Duke 'Abelian.
and suite arrived here yesterday evening from Chats-
worth. The Castle Inn having been recently fitted
up, his Imperial Highness determined to stay all
night. Whilst preparations were making to see the'
Peak to the greatest advantage, his Highness and
suite promenaded the village, admiring the scenery,
bounded by the shivering mountain, the Castle Hill,
&c. A neat supper was provided, after which they
retired to rest. The neat morning, the guide being
in attendance, and all the illuminations ready in the
cavern, his Imperial Highness and party set out for
the Peak, about 500 yards distant from the Inn: the
musicians, vocal and instrumental, were in requisi-
tion, and placed so as to have the greatest effect.
On approaching. the grand entrance a solemn pause
took place, and his Imperial Highness made a full
stop to admire the awful structure of the chasm.—
The scene soon changed by the twine-spinners and
old women surrounding the party, and with loud
acclamations greeting their new visitors. The party
remained under ground nearly two hours, and on
their return, his Imperial Highness expressed the
greatest satisfaction and pleasure with his subterra-
neous excursion. After taking breakfast, his
lligh-
ness and suite set out for Sheffield.

The HERTFORD Family left Town on Wednesday
last for Ragley Hall, in Warwickshire, wherein they
mean to sojourn until October, when the Marquis
and Marchioness will return to Manchester-square,
preparatory to the usual trip to Sudburne Hall, in
Suffolk.

We are concerned to state, that Mr. CANNING has
been confined to his room since Saturday last with a
severe attack of the gout, which still continues so
violent as to preclude the possibility of his transact-
ing official business.
JAMES DALY and RICHARD MARTIN, Esqrs. are
returned to serve in the new Parliament for the County
of Galway.
It appears that there are twenty-six new Members
returned for Ireland.

Mr. W. FARREN, of the Dublin Stage, has arrived
in that city from Galway, where he performed for
six nights, with all the success which first• rate talents
usually command. On the close of Miss STEPHENS'S
engagement, he takes his farewell of the Dublin
Stage, and proceeds to Covent-garden Theatre, where
he is expected to shine in the line of acting peculiar
to the late Mr. KING.

Flax—This morning, about four o'clock, an alarm-
ing fire broke out on the premises of WILLIAM
MELLISH, Esq. M.P. Bush Hill, Middlesex. It com-
menced in one of the stacks of new made hay, which
quickly communicated to several others which were
totally consumed. Owing to the dryness of the wea-
ther and scarcity of water the flames were not sub-
dued at nine o'clock. Several London engines were
sent to assist in extinguishing the flames.

" An Insurgent corvette still keeps miring ci
Cape Finistene. A schooner brig, and two schooners,
also Insurgent privateers, cruize between Capes Fin.
sterre and Ortega!, with four armed chasse-mares
and luggers, which have been taken and armed—
These keep close to the shore, and board even the
boats from the neighbouring creeks, with wood and
provisions for this city. This day a Spanish coasting
lugger, that was coming, loaded v:ith wheat, front
Santander, came in here, after being plundered of
some of her sails, all the provisions, water, and other
things that were on board. Some of the prisoner
were told that the Corvette, since her first appeuratce
on this part of Spain, had captured 42 vessels, some
of which, loaded with brandy, Wine, soap, and iil.
had been sent to Buenos Apes. A large boat Lt.
wood was taken, and after being unloaded was giro
up to the master and crew cf it.-1 letter from Vix.,
of yesterday's date, mentions, that an! Insurgent brig
had been at anchor off the ton-a of Congas, in
harbour, and that the Governor, dreading
cut out some of the vessels there, ordered tix:n

lowing chips, direct for China :—Regent. Captain

The following satisfactory intelligence from Las.

by Captain NEWCOMB, of the B,aganza, with Cal-
cutta Papers to the tr-th of February last. It appears
that the war between the Fnglish and the Native
Powers in Ind;:, had been nearly brought to a dme.
We find by a General Order, dated Headquarter;
February 12, that the objects for which the centre
division was embodied being accomplished, arrange-
ments arc to be made fur its separation. The C6lll.
mander-in-Clticf expresses his high approbation cf
the skill and real of the officers and men and tot
their successful Services. There had been much skir-
mishing between the British and natives, is which
the former were uniformly successful, no regular or
serious battle had been fought, and few lives lost on
either side."
